Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Food is Heaven for the people

The Resurrection Lily bloomed by the roadside of the Yellow Springs, exuding a special fragrance. It was the companion of the dead on their return journey, and it was one of the few color embellishments in the netherworld.

It was a unique product of the netherworld. It was different from “Oranges give birth to Huainan and oranges give birth to Huainan and oranges give birth to Huainan and oranges give birth to Huainan”. This thing could not grow in the living world at all.

Now, it had been transplanted here. Although this was a special space and special environment, it was still in the living world after all.

Of course, compared to the “Wild flowers”by the roadside, boss Zhou was more interested in the “Achievements”of the group of people in front of him.

However, when Zhou Ze walked over to check on the condition of the dead souls, he found that the bodies of the dead souls were very thin, and their eyes were dull, as if they were suffering from hysteria.

Dead Souls had a shelf life, and this shelf life was not time. For example, even if a dead soul became a malicious spirit and completed its obsession, it could only disappear with the wind, losing the chance to enter Hell again and gain reincarnation.

Although the dead souls here did not become malicious spirits, they had long lost their consciousness and thought, leaving only pure soul energy. They could not be considered as dead souls at all.

Such “Ghosts”weren’t even wanted in hell. Even if Zhou Ze forcefully sent them down, they wouldn’t have any achievements.

This made boss Zhou feel a bit of a toothache. His useless achievements had been ruined just like that.

The Little Loli stood on the side, bent down, and carefully observed them:

“This is normal. The resurrection Lily is a special species that grows after absorbing the aura of the dead. Of course, it can grow on the side of the Yellow Springs Road. After all, there are so many dead people walking on the Yellow Springs Road every moment. Even if a strand of hair fell from each person’s body, it would be enough to nourish the resurrection Lily.

“It’s different here. The few resurrection lilies that grow here all rely on the sacrifice of these dozens of dead souls day and night. It’s like a human-shaped juicer. They’ve been squeezed dry long ago.

“If it wasn’t for the existence of this special space that allowed them to return to the sunlight, they would definitely be turned into ashes in an instant.”

“Who’s doing this?”Zhou ze asked.

“I don’t know, but it’s not like we can touch someone or an organization. The only thing we can do is to report this to the higher-ups.”

The Little Loli reached out and wanted to Pat Zhou Ze’s shoulder, but she was too short and couldn’t do it. It wasn’t like the time when Zhou Ze was just a toy in her hand that Zhou Ze could pick up and Pat himself, so she wasn’t used to it.

Zhou ze reached out and patted the Little Loli on the head,

after a head pat..,

the Little Loli bit her lip,

this stingy man always wanted to take revenge for what she had done to him back then. He also repeatedly reminded her that the status of both parties had long changed.

“It’s not a good habit to keep half of your words,”Zhou Ze said.

“If you report this situation to the higher-ups, you will also receive a certain reward. This reward will be converted into your performance. In general, it should not be less than sending these dozens of souls to Hell.”

“You should have told me earlier.”Zhou Ze’s mood immediately improved.

However, Zhou Ze quickly thought of something and said, “Then did you not report the incident in Chengdu Last Time?”

The person in Chengdu was still alive and kicking. The last time, he had even slept in his bookstore for a while and shook off a bunch of ghost certificates in front of him. There was no follow-up?

“His matter is a little special. At that time, the higher-ups also had different opinions on how to handle it. They didn’t give any specific instructions. It was a series of instructions that we received privately. Therefore, if the mission failed, it also failed. As long as he doesn’t continue to cause trouble, this matter might be dealt with coldly.”

The Little Loli said.

“Oh, I see.”

Zhou ze reached out and touched the Little Loli’s head again. He ignored the Little Loli’s pouting lips and even used his finger to scratch her lips, as if he was teasing his niece.

However, to be honest, the Little Loli was indeed Zhou Ze’s niece.

“The higher-ups of the Yin Department are also fighting for power and benefits. Aren’t they all one?”

Zhou ze originally thought that the Yin department was just like a computer.

The Little Loli took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Ze. Suddenly, she felt like laughing. This was because she knew clearly whose ghost certificate Zhou Ze was holding. The original owner of the Ghost Certificate had been scammed by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva back then, he had even lost his Mount Tai government office and ended up in an extremely miserable state.

“How different do you think humans and ghosts are?”

The Little Loli did not specifically mention the matter of the Lord of Mount Tai government. Some things had some sort of layout that came from the hands of important figures. Even if the Lord of Mount Tai government had long fallen, the arrangements he had left behind were not things that a little brat like her could carelessly interfere with.

“Then let’s go. What about these resurrection Lily Flowers? Shall we collect them?”Zhou ze asked.

“Send them to hell. These things are ornamental flowers in hell, but if they spread to the human world, they will become something even scarier than poppies. Their impact on the living will be even more terrifying.”

Zhou ze nodded and walked to his original position first. He pointed at the Hedgehog under his feet and said:

“Is this considered a monster?”

This was the first time Zhou Ze had seen a monster. In the past year, Zhou Ze had seen mostly ghosts and had not seen any spirits. However, this monster’s appearance was quite low. It was similar to those small monsters and soldiers when he watched “Gourd Baby”when he was young. It did not have much combat power.

“This isn’t considered a demon. You’ll know when we dig up this grave.”The Little Loli shook her head.

Then, the three of them left the brothel together and returned the way they came. Zhou ze bent down after walking out and closed his eyes to adjust his state. When he opened his eyes again.., the memorial archway with lanterns hanging around it had completely disappeared, leaving only the grave there.

Xu Qinglang also took off the talisman on his forehead. At the same time, he reached out and patted his head. Apparently, this talisman had a lot of effects after it was applied. It was a little like a cold and fever.

“Old Xu, you have to work hard.”Zhou ze reached out and patted Xu Qinglang’s shoulder. “You seem to have tools in the car. Start digging.”

“Why do you want to dig up a person’s grave…”

Xu Qinglang instinctively wanted to refuse, but when she saw that Zhou Ze was a patient, the Little Loli took out her homework again. Alright, Xu Qinglang didn’t waste any more words. She took a multi-purpose engineer shovel from the car and started digging.

The reason why there was this in the car was actually for self-defense. If a knife was placed in front of security, it would be confiscated. That was why she let this go. It came in handy at this time.

In fact, it didn’t take long because the inside was hollow. Xu Qinglang only dug for a short while before the bottom collapsed, revealing a hole with more than twenty bungalows.

“This is the area we entered before. Actually, only that brothel in that small town can be entered. The other shops on the street are all fake and can only be seen. There’s no way to enter. Even that brothel can only have people standing in the empty space on the first floor, but the rooms used for business are all painted on it.”

The Little Loli explained from the side.

There were quite a number of talisman papers hanging on the wall of the pit. There were also many shadow puppets stuck there. They looked different, but they were also lifelike. These were all people who were selling their arts and shouting on the street. Of course, there were also those young ladies and the monk with the head of a toad.

Zhou ze jumped into the pit and looked for the location in his memory. He bent down and took the shovel and began to dig. In a short while, several red things appeared. They were like pomegranates, and there was actually red juice flowing out of them.

This smell was very fragrant.

“This is the Resurrection Lily?”Zhou ze asked.

“Yes, the Resurrection Lily.”The Little Loli nodded. “But in a normal yang-realm environment, this is what it looks like.”

Xu Qinglang also wanted to come over and take a look, but just as the smell touched him, his expression suddenly changed. He immediately sat cross-legged and began to chant something, as if he had to calm his mind.

Then, his face instantly turned red, so red that it seemed like water could be squeezed out. This proved just how terrifying the effects of the spider lilies were on ordinary people.

Even if a poppy was planted on the ground, it would still have to go through processing before it could become a D product. Moreover, it would go through a series of transformations and operations. However, the spider lilies were not needed. They would just be placed right here, and ordinary people would not be able to stand even the slightest scent.

Xu Qing Lang was still well-prepared. He had to be on high alert in order to restrain himself.

Zhou ze dug around again and found a few more. He even found the corpse of a dead hedgehog. This hedgehog should be the one he had killed previously. However, it should have died a long time ago. It had already been dried into dried meat.

There was also a talisman on the hedgehog’s corpse. Zhou ze stretched out his hand and tore it off.

“You just asked me if it was a demon, but I said no. It’s just a type of spirit charm. The effect of a spirit charm on an animal’s corpse is much lower than a corpse charm.”

Zhou ze nodded. He didn’t choose to burn all the Resurrection Lily. Instead, he took off his shirt and wrapped all these things inside.

“What are you doing?”The Little Loli frowned.

“How about this? I’ll take these things and wait in an empty place. You guys go back and find me some sealed bottles. These things are useful to me,”Zhou Ze said.

“Don’t play with fire.”The Little Loli reminded him with a serious expression.

“You know, I just smelled this thing and suddenly felt like eating. I want to eat something. It’s much better than some cranberry juice or blueberry juice. It’s a pity to burn this thing. I’ll handle it myself and use it as seasoning before I eat.”

For a person who had long entered the salted fish lifestyle, sleeping could be solved with the white warbler, but eating, even sour plum juice, was really terrible.

With this thing, he should be able to taste delicious food. Zhou Ze felt that no matter how dangerous it was, he had to stay.

“You… you…”

Xu Qinglang, who was at the side, seemed to be unable to resist the hallucinogenic effect of this taste,

he slowly stood up and pointed at Zhou Ze. His face was flushed, and he looked like he was scolding, but at the same time, he looked like he was talking to a girl:

“You don’t… Don’t want my… Juice… water… anymore…”

It looked like old Xu was really poisoned,

“Help him clear his head. These words make me sick. I’m going to throw up.”

Zhou Ze pointed at the Little Loli.

The Little Loli went forward and stuck out her tongue, slapping Xu Qinglang’s neck. Xu Qinglang felt as if he had been electrocuted and fainted. However, even though he had fainted, his body was still twitching non-stop, it was as if he was dreaming about something.

After dealing with Xu Qinglang, the Little Loli continued to look at Zhou Ze with a dark expression.

“Don’t remind me to warn me anymore. It’s useless. Food is the most important thing to the people.”Zhou Ze appeared very domineering.

The Little Loli shook her head,

she said:

“After you’re done, can you give me some?”
