Lin Jie skillfully removed the latch and opened the door of the bookstore.
The rain outside didn't slow down at all. It was as if the heavens forgot to turn off the floodgates.
However, the water level on the road seemed to have dropped a little today. It was probably because the sewer system was operating at maximum efficiency like the news said.
However, what was even more surprising was that on the usually empty street, there were several large vehicles used for construction.
The gas lamps illuminated the street in the majestic rain.
From time to time, people in the shops and houses on both sides of the street would poke their heads out to take a look. Then, they would close their doors or windows to prevent the rain from coming in.
The vehicles came quickly and left quickly.
Soon, the street returned to its original calm.
Lin Jie was a little surprised. He looked at the waves on the road and said, "Did something happen?"
Thinking about it carefully, it was impossible for nothing to happen in such a heavy rain.
There seemed to be bulldozers and excavators among the vehicles. It seemed like they were going to attack some building. Remember: http://m.9biquge.com
Lin Jie wanted to listen to the morning news from the video store next door to see what had happened.
However, he sat in his seat for a long time and didn't hear the static from the TV next door.
“？”
Lin Jie couldn't help but be a little confused.
Usually, when something like this happened, the owner next door would definitely turn the volume on the TV to the maximum. The channel would definitely be the one that was broadcasting something that people were curious about.
It was to show off a sense of superiority that said, "Look, you all have to get the news from me." It was very proud of itself.
However, not only did it not do that today, it seemed like the TV wasn't even turned on.
It was really strange.
"Could it be that the power switch went off again? Or did the video store owner suddenly get sick? "
Lin Jie couldn't help but worry.
Although this neighbor had some small problems, he wasn't a bad person.
He was just an ordinary citizen.
After hearing so much news, he still had feelings for him.
Lin Jie shouted to the other side of the wall, "Excuse me …"
But before he could finish his sentence, the girl next door suddenly shrieked, as if she was startled. "Ah!"
Lin Jie asked doubtfully, "What happened?"
The person next door was silent for a while, and then he said in a trembling voice, "It's okay, really, it's okay … You don't have to ask me, don't have to, gulp."
The store owner swallowed his saliva incoherently and said, "Erm, is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Jie said, "I want to ask why your TV isn't playing anymore. Did something happen?"
Oh no! Sure enough, he found something unusual!
Usually, in movies, the people who exposed themselves and realized that something was wrong would end up dead!
The video store owner immediately switched on the television. "Turn it on, turn it on! I'm very sorry! Open it now! "
The TV next door immediately started broadcasting. Sure enough, the TV was broadcasting the news about the wall collapse in this area.
It turned out that the walls had collapsed. With such a heavy rain, it was indeed possible for some shoddy construction to be washed away.
There were even casualties. It seemed like this accident was quite serious.
"Okay, thank you."
After understanding the details, Lin Jie nodded. Then, he felt that something was wrong.
The tone of the person next door actually didn't forget to be respectful? This really didn't make sense.
Lin Jie couldn't help but think of his previous guess. He said, "Mr. Colin, are you sure there's nothing wrong with your body? You need to have enough rest to live a better life. "
Cold sweat suddenly appeared on Colin's forehead.
Why did he ask this question?
Did he do something to my body? Did he do something?
Now he's warning me not to act rashly. Otherwise, I won't be able to live a good life …
Colin looked at the TV in front of him. He looked at the phone in his hand. After hesitating for a long time, he didn't send the email. His whole body was stiff. For a moment, he felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Lin Jie's voice came from next door. "Mr. Colin?"
Colin shivered. His hand shook. He looked down and found that he had already sent the email.
Recipient: The Dome Church's priest, Vincent.
He was so scared that his soul almost flew away.
He used all his strength to stop himself from trembling and cursing. Colin gritted his teeth and thought fiercely in his heart, It's too late for him to regret now.
Now that the news has been sent to the priest, if he can continue to hide it for a while, maybe he can survive.
The priest of the Dome Church, save him!
"Phew … Nothing, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."
Colin forced himself to be calm and pretended to be relaxed.
Lin Jie heard this answer. Although he felt that he was trying to be brave, he couldn't expose him.
"Since it's like this, I won't bother you anymore."
Lin Jie wondered if he should buy a gift and pay a visit to his neighbor.
"Ding Ling."
The bell at the door of the bookstore suddenly made a crisp sound.
Lin Jie raised his head and said, "Welcome."
When he saw that it was an unfamiliar girl who came in, he thought to himself, It seems that there is a new customer today.
The one who walked into the bookstore was a red-haired girl who looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old.
She had a youthful and beautiful face, and her bright eyes left a deep impression on others. Her fair skin was slightly pink, and she was tall and slender. She wore a white T-shirt and denim overalls, and on her feet was a pair of bright yellow round-toed rain shoes.
Her long and dense red hair was woven into a coarse braid that rested on her left shoulder. She wore a cap on her head and had a black umbrella in her hand.
— — -It was very rare to see a young customer.
"Is there anything you need?"
The young man sitting behind the counter asked.
Melissa curiously looked around the bookstore and then looked at Lin Jie.
She quickly jumped in front of the counter and pulled a stool to sit down. She shook her legs and asked, "Are you the owner of this bookstore?"
Lin Jie nodded and smiled, "Yes, I am. If you need anything, just tell me. No matter if it's to borrow books, buy books, or just read books, it's all fine. "
He doesn't seem that powerful ….
Is this bookstore really an I grade bookstore?
Could her father have made a mistake?
A series of questions flashed through Melissa's mind.
She carefully looked around the store. Only the gargoyle in the store should be the creation of a Dark Sorcerer. The rest were completely normal.
She looked at the young man in front of her with disappointment. Melissa even forgot the ending of "Child of the Abyss" that she originally wanted to borrow books to read.
This is too normal ….
She thought about how she had braved the rain and the risk of being scolded by her father, but she did not find the mysterious and charming bookstore that she had expected.
She could not help but feel a little angry.
"Can I ask for anything?"
Melissa muttered with her hands on her cheeks.
What are children thinking these days. Lin Jie had a drop of cold sweat on his forehead. He maintained his business smile and said, "Some excessive requests are not allowed."
Melissa slammed her hands on the counter, "I want to arm wrestle with you, is that excessive?"
