Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 406

It was a little cold in the early morning.

Zhou Ze and Bai Yingying had been sitting at the bus stop opposite the police station for a long time.

It could be said that not long after the monkey ran out, the people from the study had already moved out. They were now located in different spots around the police station.

Little Monkey probably intended to save the Old Daoist. The Old Priest raised the Little Monkey as his own grandson. The Little Monkey really treated the Old Priest as his closest person.

Sometimes, even Zhou Ze felt that it was ridiculous. In the end, few of the poor students that the Old Priest had supported over the years could be compared to a beast with a conscience.

Zhang Yanfeng said that during the days when the Old Priest was imprisoned, there had been a lot of calls for financial aid.

Old Zhang directly told them that the Old Priest had committed a murder case and was now a key suspect. The parents of the students who had received financial aid immediately distanced themselves from him over the phone. They were afraid that the police would ask them to return the money that the Old Priest had given.

Bai Yingying stood up and walked behind Zhou Ze to massage his shoulders.

“Boss, why isn’t the monkey here yet?”

“It’s probably injured. It’ll take some time to treat its wounds.”

“What if it doesn’t come today but comes tomorrow?”

“It won’t be able to stay in that state for long. Firstly, the Little Monkey fought in the bookstore which consumed a lot of energy. Secondly, it’s not stable at all. It just recovered a little. The Little Monkey won’t be able to wait until tomorrow.

“Could it wait until tomorrow when it turns back into a Little Monkey and leads a group of stray cats and dogs to break out of the prison with a toy hammer?”

“That’s true.” Bai Yingying agreed.

Zhou Ze knew that if it were the Little Monkey from before, it would be able to distinguish between the two. He also knew that the bookstore was prepared to save the Old Priest.

But now, the monkey was still in the state of anger stemming from his previous life. In short, his brain was a little short-circuited.

Think about it. A demon monkey with a little short-circuited brain suddenly rushed into the police station.

Tsk Tsk.

This could very well lead to a big disaster.

Nobody could escape the responsibility from this. After all, the monkey was part of the bookstore group.

This was similar to a dog owner who walked his dog without a leash. If his dog caused any trouble, it would definitely be on the owner’s head when the nether world sentenced him.

After lighting a cigarette and taking two puffs, his phone rang.

It was a call from Lawyer An.

“Hello.”

“Boss, I can feel it. He’s at the spot between you and me. I’m heading there now.”

Zhou Ze also immediately stood up and motioned for Bai Yingying to go with him.

This time, he couldn’t hold back. Even if he injured the monkey or broke its legs temporarily, he had to bring it back. This is for its own good.

As awesome as the immortals in the Old Forests in the Northeast sound, have you ever heard of them daring to go down the mountain and wreak havoc on the human world?

No matter how awesome the monkey was, could it be more awesome than its ancestor, Sun Wukong?

Sun Wukong had a great time wreaking havoc in the heavenly palace, but wasn’t he also suppressed in the end?

Zhou Ze had rushed over in time and Lawyer An did not delay in the slightest.

It wasn’t apparent whether this monkey had sensed everyone’s presence in advance.

It did not stop at all when he appeared. It jumped directly over the police station’s wall and rushed inside.

Lawyer An jumped over the wall too. Just as he was about to forcefully subdue the monkey, a ray of multicolored light suddenly appeared on the roof of the police station.

Lawyer An was so frightened when he saw the ray of light that he immediately retreated. He directly climbed over the fence and bumped into Zhou Ze and Bai Yingying who had just arrived.

“I say, you climbed in and out again. Are you practicing hurdle jumping?”

Boss Zhou didn’t quite understand what Lawyer An was doing. He immediately motioned for Bai Yingying to go in and use the most violent and direct method to capture the monkey.

“You can’t go in!”

Lawyer An grabbed Bai Yingying’s arm. Zhou Ze looked at him suspiciously.

He noticed that Lawyer An, who had always been calm and collected, was now so frightened. His face had turned pale and there were beads of sweat dripping down.

“Why are you so scared?” Zhou Ze asked as he motioned for Bai Yingying not to go in yet.

Zhou Ze did not dare to let his Yingying go in and take the risk with something that could scare Lawyer An to such an extent. In Zhou Ze’s opinion, the Little Monkey was not as important as his Yingying’s safety.

“Little Monkey did not restrain his demonic aura or his hostility. This fellow is too stupid now…”

He directly unleashed his demonic aura and his hostility at the police station.

Now it’s in trouble because it woke up that thing’s doppelganger!”

“Doppelganger?” Zhou Ze was stunned. “You mean, the police station still keeps some Big Demons?”

This was fantastic news.

Zhou Ze knew that there used to be a Japanese Research Institute under the police station, but now it had been excavated, cleaned up, and moved away.

“If it wasn’t kept by the police station, how could it be there?”

“What is that?”

“It’s…”

Before Lawyer An could finish his sentence, a low growl suddenly came from the police station!

This wasn’t the sound of a monkey. Little Monkey wasn’t able to make such a majestic sound.

This sound made Lawyer An’s knees go weak and he almost knelt down.Bai Yingying’s body trembled and she had to support herself against the wall.

Zhou Ze looked at Lawyer An and Bai Yingying. He was hesitating. Should he also back down? He did hear a cry. The problem was it was just a cry. Was it that scary?

“Squeak!!!”

Little Monkey’s miserable cry was heard.

The next scene made Zhou Ze’s eyes widen.

The menacing demon monkey was pushed out by something that looked like a Kirin. The demon monkey landed on the ground and crushed a big tree. A deep pit appeared on the ground.

Such a huge commotion so close to the police station should have alerted the police. However, the demonic aura on the monkey’s body and the unicorn-like thing that was constantly emitting a sunset glow formed a barrier around here.

Even if someone took out an RPG and fired a shot, the people nearby would notice nothing. This was similar to when Zhou Ze and Little Monkey fought in the hospital for 300 rounds and broke countless glass windows.

Even though Little Monkey had suffered a setback, this fellow’s brain was not normal. It doesn’t matter if you were a demon or a great immortal if you encountered someone that you could not defeat…

Look at how Eighth Aunt and Brother Huang had to cower when they knew they should.

However, Little Monkey was not cowardly. Just as it was about to lose, it stood up. It punched its chest and roared. Then, it charged at the Unicorn!

His grandfather was inside. The man who sewed his clothes and made his school bag. The man who bathed him and played with him every day.

He was not capable. He was often made fun of in the bookstore. He enjoyed it.

However, the man was genuinely good to him! He had to get him out. No one could stop him!

The monkey rushed over.

The monkey was sent flying.

The monkey rushed over again.

The monkey was sent flying again.

The monkey continued for five more rounds.

At first, the Unicorn seemed to be passively defending and blocking.

Then, Zhou Ze noticed that the Unicorn’s figure began to solidify as the monkey continued attacking. Even the Unicorn’s originally calm eyes were now showing signs of life.

A terrifying pressure began to spread out as if the Unicorn was gradually waking up. Perhaps its consciousness was being transmitted over.

Lawyer An directly lay on the ground shivering.

Bai Yingying was a little better. She was uncomfortable and depressed as if she had met her natural enemy.

Boss Zhou really wanted to stand up and say something bluntly.

‘Is it really that scary? Why don’t I feel anything at all?’

However, Zhou Ze understood one thing. Why did he feel depressed when he entered the police station in the past? Why did he subconsciously feel restrained when he faced the police station.

At the same time, he also understood why Lawyer An requested to break into the police station on the way to the court for trial.

This country’s violent organization was actually guarding this thing. It would not appear under normal circumstances. It would only appear once it senses that there was something inhuman and evil.

Previously, Zhou Ze and the others did not have evil intentions. Their intention was not to destroy so they did not alarm this Unicorn.

The monkey swaggered and roared, “My Old Sun is coming! Eat My Old Sun’s stick!”

It provoked the other party!

The Unicorn stepped on the monkey and pierced its chest. The monkey dodged but its arm was pierced. If the monkey had not dodged earlier, it might have been pierced through the heart!

The Unicorn was no longer purely defending. It was starting to have the intention to kill!

Zhou Ze subconsciously prepared to go over and stop it. Lawyer An immediately grabbed Zhou Ze’s ankle and shook his head.

“It’s hopeless. We can’t interfere. Do you know what this is? This is the spirit of a magical beast, it’s Xiezhi!”

“Xiezhi?” Zhou Ze finally knew what it was.

This thing was the prototype of the Stone Statues that were placed in front of many ancient and modern judicial offices. It symbolized the authority and holiness of the judiciary. It could clearly distinguish between the loyal and the evil!

It was not strange that this thing was protecting the higher-ups in the police station. At the same time, Zhou Ze also understood why Lawyer An was so scared. Lawyer An had always been guilty when facing a magical beast. He was naturally suppressed.

The more guilty the person facing Xiezhi was, the greater the pain!

This matter could not be resolved.

Then why was he fine?

‘Oh, it was because he was a good person,’ Zhou Ze thought.

“Xiezhi is shaped like a sheep. It has black fur, four legs, and two horns on its head. This is the beast under Emperor Yao!”

“Boss, we can not interfere in this matter anymore. I will definitely be sent in if it notices us. You have offended its majesty, and it will not let you go.”

“Two horns?” Zhou Ze pointed at the Unicorn and said, “I only saw one horn.”

“It is said that in ancient times, the Master of the Netherworld Sea was a dead man. He was lawless. Xiezhi went to Hell intending to clarify the Code. In the end, Xiezhi fought with the Master of the Netherworld Sea and was kicked out of Hell. The Master of the Netherworld Sea broke one of its horns. Xiezhi was only responsible for the justice in the World of the Living from then on and did not dare to go to Hell again. Gradually, its image among the people became a horn.”

“…” Zhou Ze.
