Han Li sat on the sofa.
She was very nervous, and her heart was beating fast.
Because she knew that in this place, everything operated according to the master's will.
That was something that had been proven.
So …
Han Li could not help but feel nervous.
Da Da Da …
The sound of footsteps approached from afar.
Han Li turned her head slightly and looked behind her. The sound of footsteps came from the deep and terrifying silent abyss.
Along with the sound of footsteps, there were layers of ripples that rippled in the bookstore.
It seemed to have sensed her turning back.
In the deep and silent abyss that was like a black hole, those evil eyes looked over one after another.
Cold, heartless …
Crazy, strange …
It was just the moment of contact. Although Han Li was prepared, she still couldn\'t help but tremble and fear.
Cold sweat dripped from her forehead.
Fortunately, Han Li was protected.
The murmurs in her ears quickly sounded.
The murmurs in the dark dispelled her fear and soothed her trembling.
It allowed her heart to be at peace.
At this moment, the figure of the owner of the bookstore also stepped out from the darkness, silence, and nothingness.
The light shone on his body.
Countless illusory shadows were projected on the floor.
These shadows were blurry, distorted, and dim.
And they disappeared in a flash!
Han Li immediately turned her head because she heard the voice of that person, "Customer, I\'ve made you wait..."
He walked to her side, and there seemed to be something in his hand.
He looked at the nervous Xiao Ai who had been beside Han Li.
"Little friend..." from Xiao Ai\'s perspective, the head was shrouded in fog, or rather, the head was formed by fog, but the lower half of its body was a human existence. It stretched out a big white hand, and in its hand was a book that was flowing with a sparkling color.
"This is a gift for you!"
"I hope you like it!"
The fire in his eyes was like a torch in the astral world.
Xiao Ai looked at it, and there was only one feeling: fear!
"Thank..." Xiao Ai stumbled and was extremely nervous. "Thank you..."
"You\'re welcome!" He handed the book in his hand to Xiao Ai. "Little princess, you will definitely like it!"
Xiao Ai touched the book in her hand.
It was very thin, and she did not know what material it was made of.
It was cold and comfortable to touch.
The cover was decorated with pieces of green leaves.
These green leaves slowly unfurled, and words began to appear one after another.
The Book of Escordale.
Xiao Ai's eyes froze.
Escordale?
A certain dusty memory floated up from her soul.
"Daddy …" Xiao Ai whispered this name in her heart.
She finally remembered.
She was the princess of the Star Imperial Court!
The daughter of the Queen of Stars and her husband, Escordell!
If there were no accidents, she would be the future queen of the Sky Piercer Clan.
But …
Her father fell into the abyss and was tricked by the Mother of Demons into signing a treaty that blasphemed against the Gods.
All the angels of the entire Star Court fell into the Abyss and became hostages of the Mother of Demons.
Touching the book …
Xiao Ai could feel that this book contained everything that her father had recorded before his death.
It might even hide the secret that allowed the sky-piercer clan to break free from the curse!
She took a deep breath and held on tightly to the book in her hand.
… …
Ling Ping'an looked at the little girl and grabbed the comic strip very seriously.
He laughed.
Little girl, that was how it was.
As it turned out, the Flower Fairy's destructive power over all little girls was destructive.
Thus, he turned around and looked at the still a little reserved girl with the other two books in his hand.
"Customer..." Ling Ping'an smiled and introduced, "I think this book should be of great help to your career..."
He handed over the "Complete Roleplaying Guide".
Yes, with this book, Ling Ping'an believed that as long as this customer studied seriously, she should be able to participate in all kinds of roleplaying competitions.
Perhaps, she could even become a famous actor in the future!
In this era, it was relatively easy to be popular.
Especially this customer's foundation was really good!
According to the judgment of the outside world, she might not get full marks.
But she still got more than 90 points.
Han Li took the book that was handed over.
On the cover, there were layers after layers, endless and endless. It was like a terrifying world that was like a deep well or a whirlpool.
It was the "Upper Abyss Research Report" that she had been looking forward to for a long time.
Just as she touched the cover, the murmurs in Han Li's ears changed.
It changed from low to oppressive.
In the murmurs of the murmurs, Han Li seemed to see the trajectory of the entire Abyss World.
She also seemed to understand something.
Abyss...
The essence of the bottomless abyss was hidden in this book.
As long as she understood it, then defeating the abyss would no longer be difficult.
However, at this moment, the flames in the eyes of this ruler in the fog surged violently.
In the rising flames, there seemed to be the sound of truth echoing.
And he also handed over another book.
"Customer... this book, I chose for you according to your situation..." his voice echoed throughout the entire bookstore, "I hope it can help you!"
Han Li lowered her head and looked at the book that was handed over.
On the cover of the book, there was only one symbol.
A yellow symbol.
Under this symbol, there was a figure slowly walking into the distance.
He was wearing yellow clothes and a crown.
There was no doubt that he was the master of the Deep Space Sea of Stars.
The moment she saw him, the yellow symbol instantly broke down into words.
The name of the book also appeared.
"The Deep Space Ceremony of the King in Yellow".
There was no doubt that it was an upgraded version of "The Spiritual Sacrifice of the Deathwalker".
It was a secret technique that the King in Yellow had given to his clan tribe and believers.
Through it, he could continue to temper his spirit and will.
He could strengthen the soul's resistance against abnormal energy and spirit.
Even...
He could use the great power of the King in Yellow to attack, corrode, and even control the enemy's spirit!
Holding these two books, Han Li knew that the purpose of her trip had been achieved!
This made her extremely grateful.
"Thank you!" She bowed deeply. If it wasn't for the fact that worship was not allowed here, she was even willing to worship this generous and great ruler.
"You're welcome!" Ling Ping'an looked at her and smiled.
… …
It was already twelve o'clock.
However, Song Shihui was still in the surveillance center, watching the scenes on the surveillance.
There was no movement.
Everything was very quiet.
The entire street was incomparably quiet.
Everything seemed to have come to a standstill.
Suddenly...
Song Shihui stood up and zoomed in on one of the screens.
Under this angle of the camera, the scene seemed to have changed a little.
In the shadows, there seemed to be a thick fog in front of the bookstore.
The thick fog that the commander-in-chief and Situ He had mentioned.
However, this thick fog only flashed through the scene.
"The owner of the bookstore... is sending me a message..." after he repeatedly watched the scene just now, Song Shihui closed his eyes and said slowly.
"He already knows about me..."
That was for sure!
His strength was unimaginable.
According to Situ He's vague description, he was almost in the legendary supreme position of 'omniscient and omnipotent'.
The research report of the think tank also guessed that he at least had the characteristic of 'omniscient'.
Therefore, Song Shihui understood that before he arrived in Jiangcheng City, or even before he left, he might have already known that he would be in Jiangcheng City in the future.
In other words, he must also know that he was studying and observing him through the surveillance?
So...
He did it on purpose?
He deliberately let the fog flash through the surveillance.
"As expected of a tsundere!" Song Shihui said.
Just like Situ He, Song Shihui had already read all the documents of Taizu, Taizong, and Gaozong.
Including the daily records of these three generations of emperors.
Therefore, he already understood that his current behavior was actually the same as those three tsundere emperors back then.
He gently lifted a corner of his mysterious veil.
Through this action, he was testing himself?
Or could he be testing himself?
Song Shihui thought and pondered.
He understood that this was a test, a test that the ancient god had set up for him.
As for the reason?
He could find the answer by carefully looking at the daily records of the era of Taizu and Taizong.
The emperors who held great power and were high above the masses. Every time a new court official took office.
They would observe this person.
"Is he a talent that I want?"
"Is his loyalty trustworthy?"
"Can he understand my intentions?"
When the emperors had this thought, they would set up tests to test their loyalty and ability.
Only those who passed the tests would have the chance to truly come into contact with them.
Now, that ancient god did not need to test his loyalty.
From the description of the think tank, he probably did not care whether humans were loyal to him or not.
He only cared about one thing -- whether he could understand and read his intentions.
Just like the commander-in-chief, he read his intentions.
In the Blackguard, he quietly created a good environment for that koi.
So he was greatly rewarded!
Just like Situ He...
After staying here for more than a month, he had been served very comfortably.
So, he also helped Situ He to eliminate the hidden hands that the Duke of Hell had left in Jiangcheng City.
Not only that!
"He" had even provided Situ He with a bright future!
So...
"He let me see the fog... So what is his intention?" Song Shihui began to guess.
"Inviting me to meet him?"
"Or is he telling me... to follow his rules?"
This was really a difficult question to guess.
If he guessed wrong, the consequences would be extremely serious.
Thinking of this, Song Shihui opened his eyes. He picked up a tablet beside him, opened a reading software on the screen, and continued to read.
He knew that he needed to find the answer from these historical materials.
There was no other way!
The Blackguard had never dealt with such a strong and powerful ancient god who was willing to abide by the law.
There was very little understanding of him.
Therefore, they could only find similar examples from ancient historical materials to refer to.
The Emperor, who held great power and was the sole ruler, became the first choice.
In most cases, they could really infer the other party's intentions through some of the common characteristics of the two.
… …
Ling Ping'an watched the figures of the two guests disappear into the thick fog.
He turned around and looked at the bag on the counter.
So, he rubbed his hands.
"That guest is really a good person!" He praised.
Every time he came, this guest would always surprise him!
This time, it had brought him a lot of good stuff!
He opened the bag and first took out the bag of golden tea leaves.
He weighed it for a moment. It was about one tael?
Whistling, Ling Ping'an couldn't wait to take out a few leaves from inside, put them into the cup, and made a cup for himself.
The steaming hot teacup immediately emitted a fragrance.
Ling Ping'an tried to take a sip, and his mouth was full of fragrance.
His mind became much clearer in an instant!
"Good tea! Good tea! "Ling Ping'an praised," This tea is even better than the last time! "
"It must be her family's best product!"
Putting down the teacup, Ling Ping'an looked at the kitten that was looking at him eagerly.
He chuckled and shared half of it with the little greedy cat.
The little guy immediately couldn't wait and started drinking from the cup.
Ling Ping'an stuck his head into the bag.
There were a few snow-white peaches...
He was drooling when he saw them!
But after thinking about it, he still couldn't bear to eat them.
"Such delicious peaches, I have to leave some for my aunt..." he said.
As for the possibility that they would go bad if he kept them for a long time?
There was no need to worry about that!
The refrigerator of Ling Ping'an's family had a very powerful preservation function!
It was exactly the same as the advertisement said!
Normally, fruits would not go bad if they were placed in the preservation cabinet and stored well for at least a month!
He looked at the mushrooms again...
Tears were about to fall from the corners of her mouth.
As for the two codonopsis and fungus, he ignored them because he had never eaten them before.
He picked up the bag, then sat down at the counter and drank his tea.
"That guest is really too polite..."
"Next time, if she comes again, I have to prepare a gift for her!"
After all, books and the like were actually not worth much!
Just like today, the three books added up to 200 yuan at most!
But the gift from the other party was probably more than this price of tea leaves alone.
And Ling Ping'an never liked to owe favors!
Because he boasted that he was a gentleman.
A gentleman talked about fairness and believed in equality.
As Confucius said: Repay kindness with kindness!
"Doesn't she like cosplay?" Ling Ping'an thought, "How about I prepare a set of cosplay props for her?"
He recalled the guest's attire and said, "She should like the female heroes or fairies in the anime..."
The other party had always worn a tight black outfit and carried a short blade.
She must have had a wuxia or xianxia dream.
Hmm!
It was decided happily!
Ling Ping'an took out his phone, clicked on the shopping website, and began to choose.
Thus, the dazzling lineup of goods immediately dazzled him!
… …
Han Li held Xiao Ai's hand and walked to the edge of the fog.
With one step, she appeared in the deserted alley under the starry sky.
She gently held the two books in her hand.
"Let's find a place to cultivate for a few days..." Han Li said to Xiao Ai.
"Okay..." Xiao Ai nodded.
She also needed to find a quiet place to understand her father's experiences in the last few days before his death.
