My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

After the black energy was pulled out, the previously frantically roaring evil spirits suddenly fell silent.

He looked at Zhang Hao in front of him, who was still holding a wisp of black energy that had been pulled from his head.

A look of terror flashed in the demon's eyes: "You...who exactly are you?"

Haven't I already become a ghost? Why are there still such terrifying people in this world who can actually fight ghosts!

Also, what happened to me before? Why did I feel like I was going crazy, completely irrational...?

I shouldn't be like this!
The more the evil spirit thought about it, the more frightened it became.

"Just think of me as a Taoist priest who specializes in exorcising demons. I have a question for you. What exactly is this vampire zombie you mentioned earlier?"

The demon shuddered at the question.

Even after becoming a ghost, the fear of death remains deeply imprinted on the soul.

"Wait, don't rush to speak."

Zhang Hao recalled the time he asked about clues to follow up on a soul, only to have the soul explode in front of him. He immediately checked his hand.

This soul was also under a forbidden spell; if any related information was revealed, it would vanish into thin air before the information was even uttered.

It seems that the mastermind behind this is as ruthless as ever.

"You can say it now."

Zhang Hao effortlessly dispelled the forbidden spell, confirmed the soul's safety, and then made him speak frankly.

"I can't say... I'll die if I do... I barely managed to survive as a soul, you can't do this to me... Please stop asking, okay?"

As the evil spirit regained consciousness, it gradually revealed its original form. It was clear that it had been a sunny and handsome male student in life, but now it was crying miserably.

“I know you were under a forbidden spell. If you dared to reveal the mastermind behind it all, you would explode and die. But my sister just broke the spell, and the resentment you had accumulated even suppressed it. So, even though what you said earlier revealed information, it didn't kill you. Think about it, you're quite safe with me now.”

The little koi fish chimed in, "That's right! If you help him, maybe he can eliminate the culprit who harmed you, which would be revenge for you. What are you hesitating for? It's such a good thing!"

"I...I can't say...If I say it, I...then..." The demon stammered, his face full of terror.

Zhang Hao remained calm and patiently explained to him that the curse had been lifted, even demonstrating it to him personally.

Realizing that he could indeed speak freely again, the demon blinked, still somewhat incredulous: "I can really speak? I really won't die? Can you guarantee I won't be in any danger?"

Zhang Hao said firmly, "That's right, I guarantee you will be fine."

A moment of silence fell over the room, but this time it wasn't as oppressive as before.

Finally, the demon mustered up its courage and said, "I am actually a student at the local foreign language college. Once when I was working, someone told me about a place where I could make money. It was a part-time job, didn't take up much time, and I could earn a lot of money, so I went there."

He will never forget that day when he went there with many other people who had been deceived.

The man picked and chose, eventually selecting several people, who were all taken to a dark room.

The room was pitch black. They sensed something was wrong and tried to escape, but it was too late.

They couldn't see anything, but suddenly felt unable to move their bodies. Not only that, they also felt a sharp pain in their necks from being bitten!

The first person bitten had all their blood drained instantly.

The body, drained of blood, instantly transformed into a skeletal, blackened monster! It wasn't human at all! It was just a living person turned into that disgusting corpse in the blink of an eye!

One by one, none of them escaped; they were all completely drained.

Not a drop of blood was left. He felt the blood being drained from his body in an instant, and his body temperature disappear forever. That fear still haunts him to this day.

Bringing up the past again, the demon couldn't help but complain, "That blood-sucking monster was particularly disgusted, saying that men's blood just doesn't taste as good as women's blood! But it seems to need to replenish something, so it has to drink some men's blood. If it dislikes it, then it shouldn't drink it!"

Especially after his death, due to his intense resentment, he clung to his original corpse and could even control the movements of his withered, mummified body.

Then, the monster said to him, "Your body has been completely destroyed by me, devoid of flesh and vitality. It's impossible for you to become a zombie now. But since you're so full of resentment, I'll help you out!"

After saying this, he felt his soul leave the horrible corpse and float outside the house!

Wandering outside, his soul gradually became twisted and deformed, and the resentment in his mind grew deeper and deeper until he even forgot everything in the past and survived only on resentment.

Why should I be eaten by monsters like bread? Why was I chosen? Why am I so unlucky?

Why is it that when it's usually women who get arrested, they sometimes get themselves arrested when it's time to arrest men?

The evil spirit was still rambling incoherently, but from his account, Zhang Hao had a basic understanding of what had happened.

Zombie, vampire, and with a particular fondness for women's blood, and more importantly, this zombie even knows how to organize its minions to lure young people back to be its food!

Intelligent and capable of taking action, these signs combined make him seem like the zombie king who has retained his intelligence.

Zhang Hao asked earnestly, "Do you know the exact address of the place where you were arrested? Is that place a frequent detention center for people who have been tricked into coming here?"

"Yes, that room was probably used to store food. When I died, I could still hear a woman's voice coming from the next room."

Actually, that house is a large villa, but it has been decorated with rows of rooms, making it look like a large dormitory.

The evil spirit carefully recalled and gave the exact address of that place.

After noting down the address, Zhang Hao immediately used magic to hide the villa. He would preserve all the evidence there and make the culprit pay the price later.

Zhang Hao planned to investigate the place the evil spirit mentioned, but since the evil spirit couldn't come along, he simply left it behind.

The little koi was determined to go along, pleading incessantly, "I'm a lucky charm! Take me with you, and maybe you'll find some useful clues and make a breakthrough in the case. Please take me with you! I promise I won't cause you any trouble, okay?"

Looking at the little koi fish jumping around and trying its best to be cute in front of him, Zhang Hao said helplessly, "The place we're going to investigate is very likely one of the zombie strongholds. We're looking for the Zombie King, which is an extremely terrifying guy. I'm capable of fighting it, but if we fight, I might accidentally hurt you. Aren't you afraid?"

"My good luck will definitely protect me from some harm," the little koi said with certainty.

Zhang Hao considered his own strength and thought that if something really happened, he should be able to protect this little koi fish.

Fine, since she wants to go, let her go with her. Next, the underworld will conduct a thorough internal investigation, while the human world will focus its efforts on tracking down the Zombie King.

The evil spirit said that it had been captured and eaten as "bread," and provided an address where people were often captured, processed, and then sent to "eaters."

After a series of investigations, Chen Anshui and his team discovered that most of the missing women had been to the same place before.

So they went to that place together, and everything seemed the same as usual.

The male protagonist sensed something was wrong and muttered to himself that only his own people or those with permission could enter this place.

The male protagonist and his group then disguised themselves as ordinary people and began a sting operation. Xiao Xiao took a liking to the male protagonist and brought him back to their "nest." During their conversation, Xiao Xiao inadvertently let slip that she had killed her ex-boyfriend's entire family.

After the male protagonist's blood was drawn and sent to the zombie king, the blood unexpectedly severely injured the zombie king. The zombie king blamed Xiao Xiao for delivering the blood and began to pay attention to the matter, thus exposing the male protagonist's identity, leading to a fight with the zombie king.

Although the zombie king was eventually defeated, it managed to escape. However, its henchmen and those who had been captured were rescued.

The missing people were also found to have been killed by the zombie king.

Based on the address provided by the evil spirit, Zhang Hao planned to take a taxi there. Upon hearing the address, the driver smiled and started chatting.

"Young man, you're going over there to look for work again, aren't you?"

The driver had an all-knowing look on his face and spoke in a very friendly tone, as if he had seen this kind of situation too many times and was already used to it.

"Yes, driver, how did you know I was going over there to look for work? Does everyone going over there look for work?"

"You don't understand! I heard they're hiring part-time workers over there, and lots of young college students are flocking there, especially female students. Lately, female students have been going there all the time, which has made our business particularly good for those of us in the same industry around here. It's all over our company."

The middle-aged man chatted happily about gossip.

The little koi looked curious. She was already pretty and cute, and her innocent and naive appearance at fifteen or sixteen years old reminded the uncle of his own daughter.

"Uncle, do you know what kind of part-time jobs they're hiring for over there?"

When the uncle saw the little koi ask this question, he frowned and earnestly advised her, "Oh dear, you female student also want to go there to find a job?"

The little koi fish nodded.

The driver disagreed, saying, "I have to warn you, whatever you do, don't go work there. I heard they're recruiting live streamers, and those girls who become live streamers are basically doing softcore pornography, which isn't good for the girls!"

The little koi couldn't help but chuckle: "How do you know all this? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

The driver sped along, his voice booming: "I haven't seen them myself, but I can guess. Otherwise, what legitimate job would hire so many female college graduates? There aren't any big companies over there!"

At this moment, Zhang Hao suddenly asked, "Are only girls going there to look for jobs? Are there no boys?"

The driver remained calm: "Of course there are, but very few. They probably just hire odd jobs and manual laborers. Anyway, they don't need many people, so there are very few boys."

After chatting for a while, Zhang Hao got a general understanding of the situation in that place from the driver.

Upon arriving at the designated location, Zhang Hao asked the driver to stop the car, and then he and Xiao Jinli got out and walked inside.

This is a straight road, and the public facilities on both sides of the road are very complete.

Occasionally, a few girls would walk out from inside, chatting as they went.

"Why is this place always hiring part-time workers? Do you know what kind of jobs they offer?"

"I know, they're probably recruiting female live streamers, or at the very least, female escorts at bars and KTVs. Otherwise, why would they recruit so many girls? And there are more than just these."

"Oh, I see. I heard that a lot of female students have mysteriously disappeared recently, including the campus belle, class belle, and department belle of that university. I heard they are all great beauties."

“I’ve heard about it too. One of them is a senior from my department named Xiaojing. She applied for a job here before, but then she disappeared and we still can’t find out why she disappeared.”

"Do you think it's possible that some of those people got into trouble after they started working there and were secretly dealt with? I've heard that those kinds of places like to do that kind of thing."

"Hahaha, your imagination is too vivid! If that were true, how could the relevant departments not have found a single clue?"

"Even if they could find out, there probably wouldn't be any evidence, right? Besides, they might not be afraid of being investigated at all."

Zhang Hao also felt that this place was strange, and he could smell a bloody stench in the air from afar.

The smell of blood was very peculiar; if I hadn't cultivated some special techniques, I probably wouldn't have been able to detect such a subtle aura.

The smell was not only bloody, but also filled with a heavy sense of resentment, which was clearly the smell of a zombie.

It seems there really are zombies here. Whether it's the Zombie King or not, it's certainly not a simple character.

Zhang Hao continued walking forward, intending to find out what was going on with the people in that house.

As they walked, before they even reached the row of villas, they saw a man impatiently shouting from afar, "Get out of here! That's enough for today, you can all leave!"

Although the women were reluctant to leave, they obediently departed.

Zhang Hao noticed that these women also exuded that zombie aura.

He tried to approach them and strike up a conversation, but the women didn't react at all to his advances, and didn't even glance at him.

Zhang Hao: ……

The little koi fish chuckled to itself, "Hahaha, so you've finally run into trouble too!"

Zhang Hao was extremely frustrated: "It seems this trick won't work. We need to think of a way to sneak in and see what's going on inside."

"How do you plan to sneak in?"

As soon as it was time to take action, the little koi fish perked up immediately.

Two minutes later, Little Koi looked speechless: "Is this the infiltration method you were talking about?"

It turned out that Zhang Hao had used magic to turn the two of them into invisible people, allowing him to swagger confidently into the sunlight and walk right past the man guarding the door. (End of Chapter)
