Chapter 284: Second Sister-In-Law
Zhou Ze’s body slowly relaxed from tension, and the beads of sweat on his forehead kept dripping down.
People who had undergone half-body anesthesia should have a similar feeling, which was that the part of your body that had undergone surgery had lost consciousness and could not feel pain. However, when the Doctor operated on your body, you could have a vague feeling, which was not pain, however, that feeling was very strange and uncomfortable.
Zhou Ze slowly calmed down,
even if that woman was still clinging to his body and calling him “Husband”..,
even if the two children were still disemboweling him, it did not matter. They were still picking and choosing.
Zhou Ze had specifically talked to the Little Loli about things similar to illusions. The Little Loli had also said that illusions were a very low-level existence. A higher-level one was called a boundary. When encountering an illusion, one’s own calmness was often the most important thing.
Only when one was calm could one’s eyes truly see things. In an illusion, it would design all kinds of scenes to stimulate one’s other emotions.
The most common one was that when one’s wife or parents had just died, they would let their wife or parents appear to call out to them. Or, when one had just encountered some setback, they would let them experience that scene again.
The Little Loli also said that there was a special layer of h.e.l.l in h.e.l.l. The punishment inside was to let the guilty person endlessly reincarnate the day that they were most painful and most unwilling to recall. It did not end, nor did it end.
From taking deep breaths to slowing down the rhythm of his breathing.
Zhou Ze forgot about the woman behind him and the two children in front of him.
Gradually, he began to transcend.
Boss Zhou had experienced many illusions. He also had a yin-yang book, which was the peak performance of the illusion technique.
When he encountered too many things, he would become numb and indifferent.
Zhou Ze slowly got up and walked out.
He saw a man being held by a woman. Two children were tearing the thing in his stomach.
The man was very strange. Zhou Ze had never seen him before, nor did he look like him.
The background gave off a rough illusion. It was a bit like a “Forest”made from a drawing board in a stage play. Most of it had to be imagined by the audience themselves.
Zhou Ze stood where he was and looked at them seriously for a while.
Looking at their movements, their expressions, their postures, their actions..,
needless to say,
it felt quite interesting.
But this illusion was a bit special, it even had a “Third-party”perspective.
After looking at it for a while, he felt that it was no longer interesting,
zhou Ze took a step back,
he yawned,
his fingernails lightly scratched against the side of the door, making a low sound,
slowly,
the sound became more and more intense,
it became more and more ear-piercing,
the sound was like a sharp knife, starting to pierce through everything in the surroundings. In the end, the scene in front of him and the background started to distort and disappear
In the air..,
the smell of incense ash filled the air.
Stretching his back, Zhou Ze lowered his head to look at his stomach. Of course, it was intact.
He looked to the other side. On the floor, Zhang Yanfeng was sitting on the old priest’s body, as if he was riding a horse.
The old priest was pressed under his body, and the corners of his mouth were starting to foam.
Zhou Ze walked over and lightly p.r.i.c.ked Zhang Yanfeng with his fingernails. Zhang Yanfeng trembled, and the loving expression on his face gradually disappeared. He shook his head, and when he saw the person under him, he immediately stood up.
Following the example, Zhou Ze p.r.i.c.ked the old priest again. The old priest opened his eyes weakly. When he saw Zhang Yanfeng, he trembled. When he saw Zhou Ze, he was so moved that he almost cried.
“Boss…”
The baby was being ridden,
the baby felt so wronged.
“I’m sorry, Brother.”
Zhang Yanfeng was also very embarra.s.sed and helped the old priest up.
Fortunately, Zhang Yanfeng was riding a merry-go-round and not a real horse galloping on the gra.s.sland. If it was the latter, it was hard to say whether the old priest would still be alive.
The three of them sat down on the sofa in the living room on the first floor.
The old priest had suffered a great deal of physical pain. In fact, his mental state was not bad. He had been with two ghost bosses and had seen many storms.
On the other hand, Zhang Yanfeng still looked a little distracted. Indeed, for him, the time he had experienced today was equivalent to destroying his worldview again on the basis of the iron chain incident.
Zhou Ze looked at his right hand,
hand..,
it was his artistic figure.
Especially those five fingernails. No matter how skilled the manicurist was, he would not be able to create such a feeling.
At the tip of his finger, there was a cloud of black mist surrounding it. With his palm facing down, Zhou ze pierced his fingernails into the floor.
The black mist began to spread in all directions. This was the method that Zhou ze used to find ghosts.
Some ghosts were good at hiding. Even if it was a ghost, it was very difficult to find them. This method was extremely effective against ghosts and even demons.
However..,
this time..,
it didn’t seem to work.
The Black Fog continued to hover. Even after it spread out in all directions, it soon returned to its original position.
After Zhou Ze began to look for ghosts with his fingernails, the old priest a.s.sumed a serious posture. This time, he swore that if anything were to happen, he would jump directly onto his boss,
he would never let this policeman carry him away.
He was a professional at catching criminals, but when it came to catching ghosts, his boss was more reliable.
Zhou ze shook his head and withdrew his fingernails in confusion. His left hand gently stroked the palm of his right hand and said,
“There’s no problem with this room.”
Yes..,
if there was something here, it was impossible that he could not sense it at all.
“What? Boss, could you have a fever?
No problem?
No problem. What happened to us before?”
Zhou ze lit a cigarette and blew out a smoke ring. “I’ve experienced that scene too. It’s a little scary.”
“It’s not a little scary.”
As the old priest spoke, he looked at Zhang Yanfeng with a bitter look,
his old body was almost crushed to death by him.
“Scary is scary, weird is weird, but in fact, I didn’t sense any ghost qi at all, and there was no demonic qi.”
“What is that?”
“I don’t know either.”Zhou ze shrugged. “There are many supernatural things in this world. Maybe this villa is caused by some other reason.”
Zhang Yanfeng lowered her head silently and reached out to grab her hair.
“I saw the merry-go-round. I saw my sister and her two children.”
“I saw them too,”the old priest echoed. “Oh right, there’s also a very big Alaska!”
“Well, in fact, although I didn’t see the merry-go-round, I did see a woman with two children, but I didn’t see any dogs.”
“Dogs?”
When the old priest mentioned dogs at the beginning, Zhang Yanfeng hadn’t reacted yet. When Zhou Ze said dogs again, Zhang Yanfeng finally came to his senses. As if he had thought of something, he took out his phone, opened the photo alb.u.m, pointed at a photo, and asked the old priest,
“Is it this dog?”
The old priest leaned his head over to take a look, shook his head, and said, “This is little Alaska. What I saw was a Big Mac.”
“Big Mac?”Zhang Yanfeng narrowed his eyes.
Zhou Ze also fell into deep thought. “It means that the two scenes we saw, the things that appeared in them, were all from the real world.
“There must have been cloth dolls at home in the past
“A dog was a child, but it was also a dog, and it was also an Alaski.
“The merry-go-round. Actually, when you came in, did you notice that there was a small merry-go-round at the flower bed at the entrance that needed to be pushed by people? It was a small toy that only children could sit on and play with. It couldn’t be compared to the ones in the playground, “But there was indeed one.
“Everything that appeared in the scene actually originated from real life.”
“Boss, what exactly have you thought of? Just say it.”
“The problem is, I still haven’t thought of anything.”
Zhou ze shook the ashes from his cigarette and said somewhat helplessly,
“It’s so troublesome. I want to go back and persuade Yingying to sell this house. It’s too troublesome to live in.”
“Is This a dream?”Zhang Yanfeng suddenly said, “Because a dream is a projection of reality.”
“A Dream?”Zhou ze smiled. “It’s not a dream.”
It was impossible for him to fall asleep in a low-level illusion. Unless he had Bai Yingying by his side, boss Zhou would not be able to fall asleep even if he desperately took sleeping pills. If he could not fall asleep, he would not be able to dream.
“It’s not a dream, but it’s a projection of reality. What else could it be?”
Zhang Yanfeng was still talking to himself.
“Brother, there are specialties in this field. Don’t get involved. This matter is getting more and more dangerous. Don’t come alone in the future. Anyway, this house has been sold to my boss, right?”
The old Taoist was also kind-hearted,
although Zhang Yanfeng had almost killed him by sitting on a lotus, the old Taoist also recognized him as a good policeman. As an ordinary citizen, good policemen were still loved by everyone.
At this moment, Zhou Ze’s cell phone rang. It was Bai Yingying.
“h.e.l.lo.”
“SOB, sob, sob, sob.”
“Boss, where are you?”
“I’m investigating a case with the police.”
“Oh, boss, it’s been hard on you.”
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s like this. I was cleaning the house today… Oh, no, when I was cleaning the house, I found the file that you told me to hide from you the other day.”
“Oh,”Zhou Ze answered. “What’s Wrong?”
Zhou Ze thought that Bai Yingying would say that the place where the murder on the case file happened was the villa that she had just bought.
But Zhou Ze was wrong,
bai Yingying had no idea about this at all. She had bought too many houses. She only remembered the number. If she didn’t check the property certificate, she wouldn’t know where she had bought her house.
“Boss, I know the deceased in this case file.”
“You Know Her?”
Zhou ze frowned.
“Yeah, I see her every day when I clean the bookstore?”
She’s in the bookstore?
“What does that mean?”
If the woman’s soul was in the bookstore, How Could Zhou Ze Be Blind? How could he not see her?
“She’s really in the bookstore. She cleans the bookshelves every day. There’s a row of them that specializes in horror mystery novels. She’s seen her name before.”.
“Her name is Zhang Tianyuan. Her pen name is even funnier. She’s called the second sister-in-law of the boudoir.
“Boss, every time I clean the bookshelves and see this book, she laughs until her stomach hurts.”
“The second sister-in-law of the Boudoir is your sister…”Zhou Ze looked at Zhang Yanfeng. “No, it’s Zhang Tianyuan. It’s…”
“It’s my sister’s name.”
Zhou ze nodded and asked, “Yingying, what’s her book’s name?”
Previously, Zhang Yanfeng had said that his sister usually stayed at home to take care of the children and write novels, but Zhou Ze did not expect that she had actually published a book.
“The t.i.tle of the book..,
it’s called..,
i love my family..,
it’s just the t.i.tle of the book printed in blood-red font.”
