Chapter Twenty-Seven: Let's Go and Become a Magician
Wang Yuechuan and Professor Trevor rushed to an old bookstore -- the type of bookstore that sells books downstairs and the owner upstairs. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Professor Trevor was eager to try it and was eager to walk into someone's bookstore right awayβit seemed that the old bookstore with the mark of age had infinitely boosted the hormones in the old professor's body.
Or maybe something like an ancient text, if you can find it somewhere...... Such an old store seems to be very convincing.
"Excuse me, anyone?"
Wang Yuechuan opened the door and walked into the bookstore before Professor Trevor. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and the bookstore was closed, but it was not locked, only the dim light from inside.
The rows of bookshelves in front of him were piled up with all kinds of books, and the smell of books was mixed with the smell of humid air, and Wang Yuechuan saw a woman in her forties and fifties dozing off on the counter on the left.
Wang Yuechuan glanced at Professor Trevor, and then knocked lightly twice on the counter, and was suddenly awakened by the dozing middle-aged woman.
She was a little frightened, and seemed to look at the two people in front of her.
"Don't be afraid, we're not bad people. Are you the proprietress here?" Wang Yuechuan said bluntly: "We are here to find a book. β
As he spoke, Wang Yuechuan took out a note, "Look at what is written on this, is it here...... Is there such a person?"
"Oh, you said the book. The proprietress suddenly said, "Is that what you're looking for?"
"Hostess, you ...... Know this book?" asked Wang Yuechuan Zhengse.
The proprietress said very casually: "I don't know, this is what my son told me." He said he had seen a post on a second-hand book website about someone looking for the book. β
Wang Yuechuan hurriedly said: "Then your son ...... now"
The proprietress said: "He, he went to pull the goods, otherwise I wouldn't have left the door open now." Oh, come to my senses, he found the book, you wait. β
Soon after, the proprietress pulled out a worn-out hardcover book from the cabinet behind her, "Let's see if it's this one?"
I saw Professor Trevor pull it out directly, and then quickly flipped a few pages with a look of anxiety, and then the speed of the flip increased, and he didn't speak.
Wang Yuechuan frowned, "Is this the book?"
Professor Trevo then said, "Yes, this is it! The professor of this book was a famous linguist of the eighteenth century." However, due to the war, many of his works can no longer be found. Even this one should be a reprint from many years ago, and the print run should be very small! I have the impression that there should be a single copy of the first edition of this book, hidden in the British Library, but I didn't expect to be able to find this reprint in China! Wang, your country is really a magical country!"
Wang Yuechuan and Professor Cui Fu communicated in English, and the proprietress couldn't understand her appearance at all, and kept looking at the woman.
Wang Yuechuan just asked quickly at this time: "So, is this book useful for your interpretation work?"
Professor Trevor was overjoyed, "Yes, of course, with it, I estimate that the speed of interpretation can be at least three times faster! No, at least five times!"
Wang Yuechuan nodded, and then looked at the proprietress and said, "Boss, this book is what we need to find, we bought it, you make a price." β
"What about three thousand?" said the proprietress suddenly.
I saw that Wang Yuechuan nodded without saying a word and took out the bank card. But the proprietress suddenly said, "Ouch! I remember wrong, my son didn't say this number." He's talking about five thousand, five thousand!"
Wang Yuechuan frowned, but his movements did not stop, he just said indifferently: "Think about it, five thousand is five thousand." Hostess, you've really figured it out. β
The proprietress subconsciously swallowed her saliva, "Think, think about it, five, five thousand." β
"Okay then, swipe your card. Wang Yuechuan nodded.
He deliberately used this tone, and he was testing this boss lady all the time...... But as a result, this is the face of a typical small citizen.
Maybe it's really just a coincidence...... "Book of the Dead" almost destroyed what he had always known, so the next proposition came.
If there are supernatural forces in the world, is this also true?
The proprietress said happily: "Well, sir, do you want to leave a phone number? I still have a lot of old books! My son has a lot of skills in finding old books! Next month, next month, I heard that there will be another batch of good goods! I will introduce you when I arrive?"
"Let's talk about it. Wang Yuechuan signed, then took a business card from the counter, and then led Professor Trevor out of the bookstore quickly.
"Slow down, two!"
The proprietress sent the two out of the door, waving her hands enthusiastically, until she couldn't see the two of them at all, then turned around, closed the door of the store, sat back on the counter, and suddenly lay directly on the table, falling asleep directly.
A puff of black smoke quietly emerged from her body.
The black smoke condensed in the air, and soon after that, it swirled and turned into a black shadow.
The black shadow floated quietly above the bookstore, looking at the direction where Wang Yuechuan and Teacher Cui Fu had disappeared, and whispered in a dark voice: "Hurry up and become a magician...... I'm the most fond of magicians...... Boom. β
The shadow soon vanished, and only a vague, shrill and piercing old witch's sneering laughter remained......
......
In the driver's car, right in the co-pilot's seat, Professor Trevor was already eagerly starting to read the ancient book. Wang Yuechuan looked at his obsessive expression and was silent.
His phone rang at this time, Wang Yuechuan glanced at it, and after a deep groan, he still answered.
This is a call from his superiors, his direct boss in the provincial bureau.
"Yuechuan, you shouldn't have slept yet, right?"
Wang Yuechuan said, "Teacher Zhao, is there anything wrong?"
"It's been almost three months since you've been redeployed, haven't you? It's been a long time since you've been reporting to me...... I've heard lately that you seem to be in a bit of a situation, and you don't often come out of that side, right?"
Wang Yuechuan said directly: "That's the case, Mr. Zhao, in fact, I plan to report to you recently, but there are some special circumstances here, and I haven't been able to spare time." Since you called directly, I'll report back to you. β
"Okay, what's the situation?"
"Mr. Zhao, I have been investigating a matter recently, but there are no substantive clues yet. β
"What? What kind of big case do you smell again?"
"Teacher Zhao...... I can't say anything about that right now. But trust me, okay?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, "Yuechuan, I know that you are a good comrade, and you have always explained what you do...... Okay, I'll wait for you to give me a full debriefing. But Yuechuan, the work still has to be done, and you still have to thoroughly investigate the things that the provincial bureau asked you to investigate. β
"Mr. Zhao, I know that I will do a good job. β
"That's okay, it's not too early, you don't have anything to do to rest early. When you come back, I'll ask your wife to make you some crabs to eat. By the way, there is still half a bottle of Moutai waiting for you at home. β
"Okay, that's a deal. β
"It's a deal. β
......
......
"You go back by yourself?" Ren Zilinghuo stood up suddenly, looked at Luo Qiu with wide eyes, and then sat down with his chest hugged, frowning: "I don't agree!"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Luo Qiu said calmly: "If you go, you may do something." β
"What do you mean I might be ......" Ren Ziling's eyes widened again, but looking at Luo Qiu looking at herself, looking at the steady smile on his face, her heart softened suddenly, "Okay, you're so old too...... But if there's anything that your people want to pick on, tell me right away!
Haven't you already been scolded once...... In the private room of that restaurant three years ago.
The appearance of throwing off those contracts and the current appearance have not changed.
Luo Qiu said softly, "You eat first." β
