Chapter 2, The Fish's Gratitude (Part 2)

Zhou Zheng wanted to turn and flee, but it felt as if his feet were firmly grasped. Looking down, he saw two puffs of pink smoke locking around his ankles

He whispered a question, took a deep breath, and mustered his courage to shout:

Zhou Zheng felt a flash before his eyes, the anger in his heart dissipated into thin air, and his mind returned to rational thought

Zhou Zheng felt that he should say something

The little golden carp gently flicked its tail and slipped away behind the water feature known as the 'rockery'.

What is going on

Zhou Zheng blinked; this was not the person he encountered on the road who asked for directions...! ... Zhou Zheng's pupils suddenly constricted!

Ah, this?

Hello, who are you looking for

The female demon was intimidated by the spiritual power emitted from the short sword, her expression changing several times.

Recently, a series of murders has occurred in Longchen City, with all the victims being young males. The police have fully intervened.

"May I borrow some water to drink?" A woman outside the door replied softly

I haven't spoken much with my neighbor for several years, and the aunt from my neighbor's house, her voice is directly proportional to her waistline, definitely cannot hum such a lively little tune

Her long hair is tied up in strands, both beautiful and terrifying

Zhou Zheng looked at the ground; before he left, he scattered a little flour, yet there were no traces left on the floor, as if the dishes on the table had appeared out of thin air

The female demon covered her mouth and smiled, sizing up Zhou Zheng from top to bottom, and praised him

When the unknown fear continuously approaches and one is powerless to do anything, the defenses of an ordinary person's heart will typically collapse directly

His gaze is exceptionally clear, striving to convey his sincerity

The figure of the female demon floated by like smoke, firmly blocking Zhou Zheng's path ahead

Zhou Zheng only felt a chill running down his spine

There is a website that has become quite popular in recent years, where photos and videos of sightings of non-natural creatures are uploaded. However, most of them can be identified as computer-generated.

Adjusting the time to fifteen minutes earlier, he heard the sounds of cooking and faintly heard the sound of humming.

Zhou Zheng was momentarily taken aback

Zhou Zheng considers himself to have no friends. Since childhood, he has been somewhat reclusive, having only a few high school classmates with whom he has a good relationship, but they all live in other cities

But if that is the case, you can get to know me normally, we can try to date first, and if we truly have a mutual affection, when the time is right, I can ... ...

The sudden sound of knocking at the door caused Zhou Zheng, who was already highly tense, to jerk his arm, nearly sending his phone flying.

Is that so

That hand, which gently tugged at Zhou Zheng's small hand, had already tenderly pushed Zhou Zheng to the side

Yes, cough, wait for me a moment

Her toes were three inches off the ground, and the hem of her long skirt fluttered slightly as she locked eyes with Zhou Zheng for a moment, only to quickly avert her gaze again

Why is there another one?

Seizing the opportunity, a small hand suddenly reached out from behind Zhou Zheng, and at the moment it pressed down on Zhou Zheng's arm, it burst forth with golden light, pulling Zhou Zheng back swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Zheng was shielded behind by the suddenly appearing young girl

Zhou Zheng instinctively took two steps back, staring in disbelief at the scene before him, his phone slipping from his grasp and falling directly to the ground

Immortal

Dong, dong dong

"Does the official truly not understand, or is he jesting with me? If you engage in intimacy with me, you may find yourself in peril."

Her two little feet, adorned with embroidered shoes, always refused to touch the ground, hovering half an inch above it

female voice

The female demon's lips twitched slightly, expressing some dissatisfaction with Zhou Zheng's calm demeanor in their equal conversation. She whispered fragrant words into Zhou Zheng's ear:

Zhou Zheng, undeterred, picked up his phone to check once more; the video recording he opened revealed only a faint glimmer at the edges of the gaps.

In addition to stockpiling a large amount of grain at home, several steel pipes were also kept as weapons for self-defense

Female, female, female ghost

What are you doing? Do you still not understand, my lord?

Several phantoms of ferrets drifted in the smoke, ultimately coalescing into the form of a woman devoid of any clothing; while the remaining wisp of smoke descended, transforming into a delicate pink veil.

Zhou Zheng watched as the nail drew closer inch by inch, and for some reason, a surge of anger rose within him

He looked at the community street view outside the living room window and suddenly felt that one of the worlds, either inside or outside the house, must be false and unreal

This voice... seems familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere before

Who

The figurine is his favorite virtual idol singer

The figure behind Zhou Zheng turned gracefully, their long black hair swaying with inertia, the tips brushing against Zhou Zheng's face

Zhou Zheng could not help but murmur to himself, in this era following the catastrophe, although people can live steadily under the protective cover, various heinous crimes continue to emerge one after another

Whoosh

Zhou Zheng swallowed and suddenly showed a serious expression, letting out a loud shout

The methods circulating online are indeed ineffective

Zhou Zheng's mind raced rapidly, and he managed to squeeze out a smile, saying

However, today the siren is somewhat disappointed

The door to the bedroom and the only window in the living room are both closed, with the curtains drawn tightly.

Wait, a serial murder case

The young girl sheathed her short sword, jumped out with her hands behind her back, and the hem of her long skirt swayed gently

The young girl suddenly blushed and argued

The woman slowly raised her head, revealing her stunningly enchanting face

She directly retreated, pressing against the wall, took a deep look at the girl, and suddenly transformed into a cloud of smoke, seeping towards the base of the wall

Zhou Zheng's pupils contracted suddenly as he exclaimed: "Behind you!"

The female demon swayed her serpentine waist as she moved forward, circling around Zhou Zheng half a turn, then gently blew a breath near Zhou Zheng's ear

Zhou Zheng's pupils constricted

Find steel pipes

This humble young woman is from the Aoshi family of the East Sea. I am deeply grateful to the young master for saving me from the hands of fishermen in my early years, granting me the gift of life. Today, I have come specifically to repay this kindness, and I wish to serve wholeheartedly by your side. I hope that you will not cast me aside.

The key point is, where is that guy who cooks now

With a fierce demeanor, he charged forward, conjuring a short sword out of thin air, and struck at the female demon with a brilliant golden light

In just two seconds, this woman surprisingly transformed into a mass of pink smoke

She enjoys tormenting her prey in such a manner

Should I report it to the police

Zhou Zheng's heart sank significantly, yet he still refused to bow down to fate and take off his underpants, declaring loudly:

The short sword flashed with golden light, leaving only a few drops of fresh blood

Mobile phone

Subsequently, the young girl slightly raised her small face, and a subtle authority was reflected on her delicate and charming features

It is as if it has vanished into thin air

Then how do you...

I indeed do not have schizophrenia

The sound of knocking at the door echoed once more

Zhou Zheng responded with a sound and walked over to the peephole to take a glance.

The smoke quickly coalesced, from which came the sound of delicate laughter.

The girl floated over from behind, her gaze somewhat dazed. From time to time, she looked up, hesitating to speak several times, yet secretly distressed.

Every frown and smile, every gesture and stamp of her foot, is imbued with an irresistible charm

My apartment building is under surveillance! What do you want to do!

Is anyone there

She turned her head and took a deep breath, then looked at Zhou Zheng. Her delicate face was flushed with color, and her bright eyes concealed a multitude of stars. With a hint of nervousness, she recited the words she had rehearsed countless times:

The female demon's fingers trembled inexplicably for a moment. She frowned as she looked at the fair-skinned man before her, and in his somewhat hollow pupils, it seemed that something was hidden...

The smoke quickly seeped through the cracks of the door and the keyhole, spreading behind the door

Suddenly, a strong wind swept in from the side, and the female demon was unable to dodge in time, watching helplessly as her nails were shattered by a bright blue water arrow

Zhou Zheng suddenly came to his senses, glanced down at his ankle, and then turned to look at the girl hiding behind the fish tank, six black dots crossing his forehead.

Try to persuade myself to transcend racial boundaries

The female demon turned her head to take a glance, and Zhou Zheng rolled and crawled to his feet, making a swift dash towards the door of his bedroom

Zhou Zheng covered his arm and inhaled sharply, casually closing the door, then locking it again with unease, frowning as he looked at the food on the table

Zhou Zheng was taken aback for a few seconds, and then let out a slight sigh

The small goldfish in the aquarium is staring intently at the security door

There was no time to contemplate what had just happened; in my line of sight, the female demon's ten fingers transformed into sharp claws, lunging towards me with the speed of lightning

Zhou Zheng stood by, staring blankly, his mind already in a state of shutdown

The figure of the female demon retreated swiftly, her eyes filled with ferocity, glaring at the position of the fish tank

The rice cooker emits a sizzling sound

It turns out that it was my younger sister who had her eye on it first; it is also my fault for being eager and not carefully examining this house.

To leave at a moment's notice, without any attachment to the battle

Don't look at me like that

The man before me seemed to be stunned with fear, at this moment he had lost all expression, his face was left with only numbness

Zhou Zheng, who was drinking water, turned his head and sprayed a mist of water.

Indeed, Zhou Zheng's eyes lit up as he quickly strode towards the mobile phone on the side cabinet, but after just two steps, he saw... a figurine blocking the camera lens of the phone.

Ah, I am a ferret spirit, and aren't you also a carp monster?

The succubus was caught off guard, but at this moment, she had steadied herself, furrowing her brow as she scrutinized the girl, and said with a smile

"I apologize, but there is only a cup for my use at home," Zhou Zheng rationally chose to decline, "You may ask the neighbor."

In the fish tank, the small fish hides behind the artificial rock, gently shaking its head

Although he still cannot comprehend the current situation, Zhou Zheng can at least ascertain...

Fear, great fear

Are you ... ... person

She did not dare to look directly at Zhou Zheng, gently biting her lip

Aside from being a bit salty, the color, aroma, and taste are all of high quality

Zhou Zheng felt a bit stubborn, and with a determined heart, he gritted his teeth and picked up the chopsticks, taking a bite of the dishes on the table

The universe possesses righteousness! It manifests in various forms!

That woman actually melted

serial murder case

This time it is ... ... this time it is an inaccurate assessment of the enemy's strength

Zhou Zheng remained vigilant and asked through the door

Arrived

This is her favorite pastime

Zhou Zheng recalled some online horror stories he had read

As the girl rushed to the wall, the female demon had already vanished without a trace

Hello! Can we talk?

Outside, there is a woman wearing a baseball cap. Her expression is not clearly visible, but her chest shape seems somewhat familiar

The young girl hesitated slightly, looked up at Zhou Zheng, and did not rush out directly

She stood barefoot before Zhou Zheng, gently tracing a finger along his chin, her expression one of delicate sorrow

Sir, do I not meet your standards? Why do you avoid me like this

What else does he want to say, the female demon's fingernail slowly elongated, gently tapping towards Zhou Zheng's forehead, while admiring Zhou Zheng's expression at that moment

His feet seemed to be stuck to the floor

A news pop-up appeared on the mobile phone screen

He has always been uninterested in these matters, working hard every day and taking on part-time jobs on weekends, simply thinking about how he has no parents or family to rely on, striving to save more money before getting married

What a fine appearance, fair and clean, handsome and radiant. If he were in another world, dressed as a scholar, I wonder how many young ladies he would captivate. Today, however, he has fallen into my hands.

I am going!

The official is handsome and charming, and I am deeply delighted in my heart. I wish to be a fleeting couple with the official, to share a night of fate. Are you afraid of me, official?

At the end of the video, a golden light seemed to flash by, and then I opened the door and entered.

Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment, then walked over to lift the dining chair that had been knocked over by the female demon, striving to digest this bizarre incident

This anger swells inexplicably, as if it is about to explode from the body at any moment

Tsk tsk

Zhou Zheng's Adam's apple trembled slightly, yet he still said...

"If you continue to be disobedient, I shall have to punish you."

The female demon first frowned in confusion, but then realized what Zhou Zheng was doing, and immediately burst into laughter, doubling over and causing her hairpins to tremble.

If it were my past life, I could have eliminated her with just a finger, and would not have let her escape

The female demon lunged forward, but the young girl unleashed two beams of golden light from her eyes, forcing the demon to retreat.

Husband

"Hmm," she nodded charmingly in agreement

In the fish tank, the small goldfish gently sways its tail

His legs felt somewhat weak, so he simply sat down on the carpet, staring blankly at the girl behind the fish tank

Moreover, there is also a fear of destroying the family

Zhou Zheng, who has always remained calm in the face of life's setbacks, is indeed feeling a bit anxious now

Uncertain whether it has been several seconds or a few minutes

The beast cannot do it, at least the marten cannot

Zhou Zheng could only tilt his head in response to this

Hiss

A mere snow marten spirit, is he someone you can call "my lord"!

He suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice, "Is the food from the past few days made by you"

The girl suddenly became angry: "You are the weird one! Despicable!"

Zhou Zheng poured himself a cup of warm water, held it in his hand, and took a couple of sips, feeling much more comfortable overall

Indeed, it seems necessary to report to the police," Zhou Zheng deliberately called out, picking up his phone and starting to scroll through the contacts.
