The Original Seeker Chapter 544: Bookstore
A glance at the moon.
……
"The owner of the haunted bookstore is awake!" A group of children suddenly started whispering in a remote corner on the moon.
A young man lying on the sofa in his clothes is slowly waking up on the bed in the attic, accompanied by a swarm of chickens and dogs jumping downstairs.
In the children's memory, the young man in white is the manager of the bookstore and the only living person in the store.
After drinking a full cup of black tea at noon every day, he sleeps until late at night, and he never takes care of his business. This rule has never been broken since the first day he saw him.
It's just past three o'clock in the afternoon. It stands to reason that he shouldn't get up. He smelled an unusual group of children, grabbing the books in his hand, and staring at every move in the attic.
There are no other employees in the bookstore. At least no one has ever seen anyone help, but never lost a book, and no one has seen the owner step out of the store.
It’s not that no one has ever moved the thought of taking books, but the books they stole will always disappear unknowingly and reappear on the corresponding bookshelf the next day.
However, as long as you don’t take it away, no one will care how long you spend in the store.
The bookstore of hundreds of square meters is full of books. With the cold and empty environment, it is easy for people to have some ghostly thoughts.
……
The haunted bookstore can also be regarded as a wonder in this small town. Every day, many people come here to read books for free. In the era when the mobile network has penetrated into thousands of households, a pure bookstore can have Such a flow of people is really not easy.
Many people were attracted by the haunted rumors at first. Legend has it that this bookstore is not without employees, but they are ghosts that ordinary people can't see.
The store manager is a necromancer, who will direct his servants to restore everything to the original state in the middle of the night every day.
……
Most people in the new era have lost their fear of ghosts and ghosts, and have turned to a strong curiosity.
One is because of the appearance of the extraordinary, the monster that blasted a building with one punch is more terrifying than the little ghost who only dared to sneak in and kill people in the dark corner.
Some people with relevant abilities even capture ghosts to create various negative materials. In the practice of "The Thousand Souls", there are several related spiritual materials that need to be used.
The other reason is that after the emergence of spiritual energy, many high-level practitioners can observe the existence of ghosts, and they have left a lot of research records.
Fear mostly stems from the unknown. When the veil of ghosts is gradually lifted to everyone, they are not much more frightening than the lions and tigers in the wild.
……
"Dear Master, I..." A child who reacted first, immediately took the book in his hand, and stammered towards the bookstore owner at the fastest speed.
There are a few more like him.
These children may have family members behind them, asking them to look around for opportunities to catch up with big shots, or instinctively, they noticed a little opportunity and jumped in one after another.
A group of people who were born in poverty and were found to have poor cultivating aptitudes will look for any hope of changing their destiny.
The difference between the status of cultivators and ordinary people on the moon has been torn even more severely in the past ten years, and the hierarchy is almost completely written into the law.
……
Unfortunately, the sleepy-eyed, white-clothed bookstore owner didn't have any thoughts of stopping. He seemed to be slow to move, passing through the obstacles of several children like a ghost, without even looking at it.
He walked towards the door step by step, walking steadily and mechanically like a robot.
Disappointed teenagers and girls are a little unwilling, but they don’t dare to come closer. They are afraid of evil. After all, they can find some in the bookstore occasionally, and they need to contribute something to watch outside. The information received is worthy of respect for its owner.
……
And just as he woke up, several intelligence points in the bookstore, which took turns monitoring day and night, also exploded in an instant.
"Send a report to the superior immediately!"
"If there are special circumstances, contact the commissioner immediately!"
"Urgent notice, the target seems to be trying to get out of the bookstore!"
"All inspectors should be concealed!"
……
A series of commands came from the command center in a corner of the town, and the pain signals that were pierced by the needles were transmitted layer by layer to the center of the huge body of the human federal government.
"Boss, I have been in this area for two or three years, and my daily task is to stare at him, so who is this person? Every time I check the database, it shows that the authority is insufficient." A small, flat-headed young man , Secretly asked his own group leader.
"I don't have permission either." The captain sullenly said the answer he had said before.
"..."
"Red Fox Commissioner, are you here?"
Just as the atmosphere became awkward, a girl in a dress and a fire-red leather jacket appeared quietly outside the command room.
"After I received the news, I rushed over as quickly as possible."
"No matter how many times I watch it, that leg can be licked!" After seeing the looming black silk under the red fox dress, the flat-headed young man had already thrown out the question he had just asked.
"Where is he!" She ignored the gaze of the young man behind the captain, and asked in a scornful tone.
This is the task that she has finally gotten with a lot of ties. There is absolutely nothing to lose.
"The target is...what, the target disappeared?!!!" The captain in charge of the command directly looked dazed. How could a good-natured living person disappear in front of the radar and a bunch of people.
Red Fox stared at the two of them with a deadly expression on his face. The cannibal gaze made the flat-headed brother who was thinking with his lower body to supply more blood to the brain.
"Miss Red Fox, please wait a moment, we will reposition you right away! We will not let the target get lost!" The captain who has been in the intelligence department for many years and knows that the beauty is cruel and cruel in front of him~IndoMTL.com~ Set up immediately Military order.
"Send over the high-resolution picture of the last screen before the target disappears!"
……
"Are you here, are you looking for me?" The monitoring screen had just arrived, and a cold and slightly mechanical voice sounded in the command room.
"Who!" The captain pulled out his gun subconsciously. He was just a slightly stronger intelligence officer with a power rating of 1-1. The pistol was still his most powerful weapon.
"Sir, the joint council has requested that the convoy to pick up and drop off is already on the road." Red Fox reacted first. She pressed the signal light on her body to signal the convoy that had gathered urgently from outside the city to drive to her side.
"Joint Council..." After hearing this, the flat-headed youth finally understood why the captain's secrecy level was not enough.
He always thought it was just that the captain didn't want to tell him, but he didn't expect that he really didn't know.
As the substantive highest authority of the human confederation, the joint council has the secrecy level of the people related to them...
