Hope Bookstore.
Vera carefully placed the wrapped book into her pocket and handed it to a little boy, watching him leave.
She then turned her gaze to Casey, who was slowly walking into the store.
"You look so pitiful …" Even Vera could not help but feel pity for Casey the moment she saw him.
Casey had lost at least five kilograms. His eyes were sunken, his expression haggard, and his eyes were lifeless. One of his hands was wrapped in a thick bandage, hanging from his neck. It looked like it was fractured.
Even from afar, she could smell the scent of medicine coming from his body.
"What happened? Did you get into a car accident? " Lin Sheng, who was reading in the bookstore, put down his book in surprise as he looked at Casey, who walked in through the door.
Many of his injuries could not be seen from the surface. From his perspective, Casey's internal organs were covered in healed scars. His frail body looked like it had been crushed by a blender and then stitched up again. There were hidden injuries everywhere.
His soul also gave off the feeling that it could die at any moment.
It was obvious that he had overdrawn his body and mind too many times, resulting in this situation.
"No … Nothing … It's just that I've been doing some training lately … I accidentally overdid it." Casey forced a smile.
"Training?" Lin Sheng raised an eyebrow.
His eyes suddenly flashed, and a thread of his soul tendrils flew out soundlessly and stuck to the surface of Casey's soul on his head.
Soon, some scattered bits of information flowed into his consciousness along the soul tendrils.
Azure One? Helmet?
Talented person? Special training??
Even though it was only bits and pieces, it still piqued Lin Sheng's interest.
He did not expect that the woman named Shinjusha would have the ability to hide her presence from him at such a close distance.
Moreover, he did not notice anything at all with the special training.
"Interesting … Very interesting …" The corner of Lin Sheng's mouth curled up unconsciously.
From Casey's memory fragments, while this woman named Shinjusha was strong, she was in two different worlds compared to him. He could kill countless people without moving.
Yet, she had the means to hide from his senses. That was interesting.
This meant that the technological means that the other party had mastered had far surpassed the current technological means of the Holyspirit Palace.
Only a huge level of technology could produce such an exaggerated effect.
Lin Sheng's eyes instantly lit up.
"Casey … You look like you're in low spirits. Are you doing some special training?" He asked Casey gently.
"Special training? Upon hearing this horrifying term, the shadow in Casey's heart immediately emerged.
The horrifying training process where he was tortured to the brink of death by Shenyusha flashed through his mind.
The training process was so unforgettable that he would never want to experience it a second time in his life.
"No … no special training. I was just blindly practicing …" Casey laughed dryly. He felt that his ordinary daily life was on the verge of collapse.
The two bookstore owners were very kind to him, and he didn't want to get them involved for no reason.
After all, that woman was too terrifying.
"It looks like you're in low spirits. Come, have a cup of hot tea. I've used some good nourishing herbs to soothe the fatigue accumulated from training. It's very effective. "
Lin Sheng was originally sitting by the tea tray. He picked up a clean teacup and asked Vera to get a small tea box.
He opened the box gracefully and gently used bamboo chopsticks to pick up some tea leaves. He put them into the teapot and began the process of making tea.
Casey was originally here to buy magazines and newspapers, but for some reason, when he came back to his senses, he was already sitting opposite the tea tray. There was a cup of hot tea in front of him.
"Please drink. I don't have any techniques for making tea. I'm just casually making tea. Don't mention it. " Lin Sheng's gentle gaze fell on him. Casey's originally extremely tense mind slowly relaxed.
He picked up the cup and gently took a sip.
Hiss …
A wondrous and gentle sensation spread from his mouth to his entire body.
Accompanied by the strong aroma, Casey only felt that the pain in his body was suddenly much better.
Even his broken arm did not seem to hurt as much.
From Lin Sheng's point of view, a large number of Casey's internal injuries were rapidly improving with this special cup of tea.
He did not completely heal him in an instant. He only let the tea mixed with Saint power release its effects slowly, allowing him to receive a long period of gentle healing.
And judging from Casey's expression, he seemed to feel rather relaxed too.
Lin Sheng took the opportunity to casually chat with him. He made small talk and quickly copied all the training content through his soul tentacles.
Even Casey's physical sensations during training were fully replicated without missing a single detail.
For Lin Sheng, who had mastered a large number of scientific research systems, with so much content and information, it should not be difficult for him to reverse the so-called training content.
Soon, Casey, who had recovered physically and mentally, left the Hope Bookstore with the newspapers and magazines he bought and walked in the direction of his home with gratitude.
According to the previous progress, Casey might not be able to last until the end of the special training.
Fortunately, he met Lin Sheng.
As long as he lasted a little longer, Lin Sheng would be able to obtain more content and information about Shenqiusha from his memory.
At the same time, he would not expose his existence.
Of course, if Lin Sheng wanted to, he could directly rush over and capture Shenqiusha to interrogate her.
However, after guessing that this world might be related to the Infinite City, he did not want to expose himself before he completely understood the situation in this world.
Therefore, a channel to contact the world was indispensable.
And Casey was the person he had chosen from the beginning, the window and channel to contact the world.
Bang, bang, bang.
Suddenly, a dull and impatient knocking sound interrupted Lin Sheng's thoughts.
At the entrance of the Hope Bookstore, a few delinquents with dyed hair and a bunch of metal accessories were looking at Vera in a frivolous manner.
"Do you know the rules of this street? Hmm? This place is under the protection of the Bloody Killing Gang! Previously, when you opened a new shop, we did not come to collect money. Now you have some income, right? It's time to pay the protection fee. "
The leader of the Bloody Killing Gang, Brunsimir, deliberately rolled up his sleeves, revealing the inferior red crystal embedded in his arm.
Here, the gangsters liked to use the inlaid crystal as a symbol of their ferociousness.
"Alright, cut the crap. 2,000 points a month. Hand it over, and we'll guarantee that your shop will be safe in the future!"
Brunsimir slapped the bookstore's counter casually.
There were a few spectators left in the shop. At this time, they hurriedly left the place, afraid that they would get into trouble.
Lin Sheng's thoughts were interrupted. He looked over with a calm expression.
A gray guardian pearl that looked like fine sand slowly appeared in his palm.
He was about to release the pearl. The pearl guarded a special monster that was similar to a vengeful spirit.
Ordinary people could not see this monster, so it was a good time to solve the problem.
However, Lin Sheng suddenly had an idea. He put away the guardian pearl and looked at Vera.
Vera immediately understood and walked forward. She stood in front of the group of gangsters.
