Standing in front of the new bookshelf, Ling Ping'an scratched his head.
"It doesn't seem to be very suitable!" He said.
That old republican customer liked conspiracy theories and books about the mastermind behind the scenes.
As for the new books he bought yesterday, there weren't many that were related to it.
Moreover...
Ling Ping'an turned around and looked at the customer who was dressed in plain clothes.
He remembered what had happened to him.
When one reached middle age, everything was difficult to calm down.
There were old people and young people. The pressure of life came from all directions.
His meager salary might not even be able to afford the food, clothing, housing and transportation of his family!
Every month, he had to hold his phone and carefully calculate his expenses.
Perhaps reading these conspiracy theories/mastermind books was the best way for him to relieve his stress.
It was also one of his few hobbies and entertainment.
Therefore, how could Ling Ping'an bear to let him take out his only jade pendant to buy books and sell him some books that he might not like?
"I should give him the best service!" Ling Ping'an thought.
Even though he might suffer a loss in this transaction, he didn't care.
But in the long run, he would earn it.
Not only because the old republicans loved to group together, but one customer would attract more customers.
It was also because the moral satisfaction was something that money could not make up for.
Anyway, he didn't lack money to spend!
Therefore, Ling Ping'an turned around and walked to another bookshelf. Then, he tiptoed and took down a thick book from the top of the bookshelf!
Ling Ping'an picked up the book and flipped it over. He looked at the cover that was still covered in a protective film.
"Northwest Secret".
That was the name of this book.
This book was the culmination of the alien theory of the Federal Empire!
The key was that this book had once been banned.
The department in charge of culture and publishing in the Federal Empire had once issued a ban on it.
The reason was: the book fabricated a national organization and slandered the royal family and the cabinet!
Although the ban was quickly rejected by the Council of Ministers.
However, this also made the publication of this book extremely difficult!
It was said that less than 5,000 sets were published in total, and most of them failed to enter the market!
Ling Ping'an had also gotten it from the book wholesale market by chance.
Of course, the price was not cheap!
Just to buy it back, he spent more than 300 yuan!
Initially, Ling Ping'an's plan was to collect it.
Because he believed that this book would definitely increase in value!
Therefore, he placed it on the innermost shelf of the bookstore.
But …
Now, Ling Ping'an felt that it was casting its pearls before swine.
Perhaps that old Republican was its true owner!
After all, Ling Ping'an didn't believe in aliens at all.
As a materialist, Ling Ping'an only believed in what he could see with his own eyes.
There really were aliens …
Then ask it to drive the flying saucer and appear in Jiangcheng City!
Holding the book, Ling Ping'an walked back.
At the same time, he felt a little touched.
"I am indeed a gentleman!" The young bookstore owner felt that he had been sublimated.
Thus, he hummed a song softly.
"At this moment, the person whom I love is already on his way …"
Halfway through his humming, he froze.
"Who sang it?" He scratched his head, unable to remember.
He wanted to continue humming, but he forgot the following tune and words.
Thus, he could only smile awkwardly.
This kind of thing happened quite often. After all, it had been many years since he had listened to a proper song.
It couldn't be helped. With so much traffic, there were no songs to listen to!
Therefore, this kind of inexplicable and inexplicable song would often appear.
… …
"At this moment, the person whom I love is already on his way..."
A light tone came from behind him.
Situ He turned his head and saw the owner of the bookstore, who was holding a book wrapped in countless viscous liquid, walking to his side.
"Customer..." in the head of the owner of the bookstore, which was shrouded in fog, two flames shone like sunspots. "I specially chose this book for you!"
In an unquestionable tone, he handed over the book wrapped in a viscous unknown liquid and stuffed it into Situ He's hand.
At the first touch, Situ He felt that his hands were firmly entangled by this viscous unknown liquid.
A cold, strange, and terrifying feeling followed him like a shadow.
After a while, the liquid finally let go of him.
"The essence of the soul..." a voice said in his ear.
Situ He lowered his head and saw the cover of the book.
The viscous liquid slowly turned dark green and began to boil.
Invisible bubbles emerged from it one after another.
In each bubble, there was a cold and emotionless eyeball.
These eyeballs were looking at him.
The voice in his ear gradually became blurry.
"What is it?"
Accompanied by this seemingly questioning voice.
In the bubbles, eyeballs appeared one after another.
These eyeballs looked at Situ He coldly and emotionlessly.
"It's the three souls and seven spirits!"
One by one, the bubbles burst.
The broken bubbles fell back into the viscous and strange liquid, and the eyeballs quickly dissolved in the liquid.
Slowly, they merged back into the viscous liquid.
Looking at this scene, Situ He's entire body trembled.
He finally understood how crude and stupid it was for him to use the secret technique of the soul and spirit on the paper man in the past.
The soul was nameless and invisible, but it had form and substance.
Using it on the paper man was equivalent to holding a supercomputer, but doing the simplest accounting.
What did a supercomputer do?
Simulated!
Simulated nuclear weapons, simulated celestial orbits, simulated weather changes!
The soul was also ordinary!
Its methods were endless, and its usage was profound!
As for his method of using it, it was the most crude way of using it!
And this book was a book that recorded countless taboo soul techniques!
At this moment, the viscous and strange liquid slowly soaked into the pages of the book.
Four crooked words emerged from the cover bit by bit.
This book was called "Three Souls and Seven Spirits".
On the lower left corner of the cover of the book, an author's mark quietly appeared.
It was something like a seal.
Situ He looked at it carefully and finally recognized the author's name, "Lord Xuan?"
He frowned.
This was a very typical ancient name.
But the problem was...
Who was Lord Xuan?
Situ He couldn't remember that there was such a person in history?
But...
He knew what this book meant to him!
With it...
There were no more obstacles ahead!
If it was before, he wouldn't have been worried about his aptitude and potential. But now, he no longer had any doubts!
"I will definitely be able to keep up with the commander-in-chief's footsteps!"
He was full of confidence as he clenched the book in his hand!
… …
Ling Ping'an looked at the customer in front of him and hugged the book "Northwest Secrets" tightly.
He gently picked up the teacup and took a sip of the sweet tea.
"As expected, this customer is also very interested in aliens and the mysterious base that is said to have collected all kinds of alien ship wreckage and even the remains of aliens found by the Federal Empire from all over the world!"
Speaking of which, aliens were also the topic of menstruation in the Federal Empire.
The so-called UFOs were reported to have been seen in the news every year.
All kinds of media public accounts said with certainty that the previous cabinet of the Federal Empire had lied to the public and hidden aliens in a secret base in the northwest desert.
There were even people who said that the traitors of the cabinet might have already made contact with aliens. There were also people who suspected that the traitors of the cabinet threatened the aliens with self-respect. Their goal was to become the contemporary Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao.
Ling Ping'an almost laughed crookedly.
To become the contemporary Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao!
Only a fool would do that!
Wasn't it good to be the prime minister of the cabinet and the minister?
However, this was also the tradition of the Federal Empire.
Since the founding of the Federal Empire, the people had long had distrust and suspicion of the central government and the cabinet.
And this blame was borne by the Taizu Emperor.
Because the Taizu Emperor himself was full of vigilance and distrust towards the civil officials.
He once publicly said that the fall of the previous dynasty, the civil officials were in chaos, the generals were in chaos, the country was torn apart, the country was not a country, and the world was almost destroyed! He had to be on guard against the lessons of the past!
Alright!
The Taizu Emperor took the lead in suspecting his own cabinet ministers.
The people below naturally wore a thick layer of colored glasses on the civil officials, especially the cabinet that was in power.
They always felt that Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao would appear among these people.
It was the same even today.
What was even more troublesome was that with the great development of technology and the advancement of science and technology.
Other thoughts came to mind.
For example, the theory of the backstage capital, the theory of the manipulation of consortiums, and the theory of the military compound gymnastics.
These thoughts were mixed with the traditional theory of the manipulation of the traitors, causing conspiracy theorists to spread throughout all groups.
Now, looking at this man who refused to let go of the "Northwest Secret", a book that had once been banned.
Ling Ping'an also shook his head!
How could there be aliens?
In any case, Ling Ping'an didn't believe it.
In Ling Ping'an's eyes, aliens were like feudal superstitions.
They were all lies.
… …
Situ He raised his head and looked at the owner of the bookstore.
In his head that was shrouded in fog, the two flames were gradually dimming.
This was a signal that he wanted to send the guest off!
Situ He immediately stood up tactfully and said to the ancient god, "It's getting late, I won't disturb you anymore..."
"I'll send you off!" The other party stood up.
Situ He wanted to refuse, but he remembered that there seemed to be something unusual about the fog tonight, so he nodded, "Thank you so much!"
This proud ancient god would not speak without reason.
"It's okay!" He said softly, walked to the door, and opened it.
Situ He hurriedly hugged the book in his hand tightly and walked out.
He walked Situ He all the way to the road in front of the door before waving goodbye.
Situ He hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
Then, he turned on the flashlight. A strong light shot out and hit the thick fog.
He walked forward and followed the light all the way.
Gradually, the fog enveloped him.
And he also walked slowly, carefully.
Unlike last time, the fog tonight was especially difficult to walk through!
Every step seemed to require a lot of strength.
Situ He had only taken a dozen steps, but he already felt a little tired.
He took a deep breath, and the book in his hand suddenly began to shake.
Situ He raised his head and looked at the fog in front of him.
He saw a huge creature slowly moving forward in the distance of the fog.
It had three legs and a huge head that was faintly discernible in the fog.
As he moved, his head constantly rotated 360 degrees.
Strange scarlet compound eyes, like the electronic components of a radar, kept flashing.
"What kind of monster is this?" Situ He swallowed his saliva.
"Tributary!" A voice whispered in his ear.
Bang! Bang!
At this moment, the figure of the monster walked from the distance of the fog to Situ He.
It lowered its head and looked at Situ He.
It saw the flashlight in Situ He's hand, so it ignored it.
The three legs passed over Situ He's body one after another.
The thick fog tightly wrapped it, making it impossible for Situ He to see its specific shape and appearance.
He only knew that it was a terrifying creature with three legs!
And it was at least seven to eight meters tall!
However, Situ He didn't have time to catch his breath.
In the fog in front of him, luminous spheres suddenly appeared.
These spheres were as big as small cars.
They floated in the fog and moved forward in groups.
Countless luminous tentacles that looked like jellyfish hung behind these spheres.
They slowly floated, like jellyfish, and passed by Situ He.
Those luminous tentacles even touched Situ He, intentionally or unintentionally.
Like a curious child who found a toy.
Then, after seeing the flashlight in Situ He's hand, they reluctantly left.
And in front of these spherical monsters, Situ He didn't even dare to breathe, and his heartbeat almost completely stopped.
That was his instinctive reaction.
It was his subconscious self-protection!
It wasn't until these spheres were far away that his consciousness and thoughts returned.
"What is it?" He took a deep breath and felt that his whole body was drenched.
Just now, he felt as if he was a naked person who had encountered a fierce tiger in the forest.
The fierce tiger's sharp teeth had already bitten his fragile cervical spine.
That feeling was terrifying and terrifying!
It was the feeling of a living creature facing a natural enemy!
It was also the feeling of a living creature facing the terror of certain death!
"A group of little cuties!" A voice whispered in his ear, "They have just hunted a suitable prey and are rushing to offer the prey to the great ruler!"
"Prey?" Situ He frowned, not quite understanding.
"To the superior races, only the civilization of an entire world can be considered as prey!" The voice in his ear said, "And these little cuties are the most efficient hunters among all the superior races!"
"They are also the race that wants to please the ruler the most!"
Situ He was about to ask something else.
A violent sound came from the distance in the fog.
Amidst the violent sound, a twisted and deformed terrifying ball of meat slowly crawled out of the fog.
"Hurry up!" The voice in Situ He's ear urged anxiously, "The unclean are here!"
"He doesn't have a good temper!"
"Unclean?" Situ He didn't quite understand this term.
However, he could clearly feel that in the depths of the fog, the ball of meat was crawling bit by bit, and it was radiating some terrifying spiritual power in all directions!
The terrifying radiation energy was rolling in the fog.
That was the first time Situ He had seen something that could display its power in the fog!
There was no doubt that it was an extremely terrifying god-level monster!
Therefore, Situ He hurriedly took the flashlight and walked quickly in the other direction.
