When the middle-aged uncle came here with the white night, the bookstore was closed.

The bookstore is only open between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., and now it's past 7 p.m., so I don't know what else they're doing here.

After the middle-aged uncle parked the car, Bai Ye took the lead in opening the door and getting out of the car.

As soon as Bai Ye got out of the car, he felt the sticky heat suddenly sticking to it, as if it had become difficult to breathe.

"It's damn weather, it's almost time to get to the sauna!"

Bai Ye muttered a sentence on his lips, and at the same time used the spiritual power in his body to isolate the heat around his body, and walked a few steps quickly to the door of the bookstore.

As soon as he got closer, Bai Ye felt a little weird, the entire bookstore building was tightly covered by curtains, and it looked a little eerie.

"Is it being renovated inside? or is it intentional?"

Bai Ye was a little uncertain, and looked at the middle-aged uncle beside him and asked.

The middle-aged uncle did not answer Bai Ye immediately, but took out a key from his pocket and threw it to him, replying.

"It's not being renovated inside, you should have sensed the weirdness of this place, you will be working here for a period of time in the future, as for how long you want to work here, it's up to you, the work assigned to you is very simple, that is, stay in the library every night on duty, open the door in the morning, close the door at night. ”

"Let me be the librarian? Oh no, it's more appropriate to call it a shift, but it's convenient for me to do things secretly. ”

Bai Ye squinted his eyes slightly, and replied flatly.

Five minutes later, the middle-aged uncle left, and Bai Ye stayed here.

Bai Ye looked at the bookstore building in front of him, and the expression on his face changed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After that, Bai Ye walked around the neighborhood and looked around, bought some snacks and drinks at the convenience store, and then returned to the bookstore building.

Using the key given to him by the middle-aged uncle, Bai Ye tried several times before he succeeded in unlocking the door of the bookstore and slowly walked in.

The bookstore is pitch black, because of the relationship between the curtains, so there is not even the light of the street lamp, and the whole environment is not visible when you reach out.

Bai Ye casually released an illumination technique, and a white spiritual power light ball appeared beside Bai Ye, illuminating the surroundings.

Re-lock the door lock, after all, there are so many books inside, if you lose it, there will definitely be some trouble, although Bai Ye doesn't care, but it's not bad to have less trouble.

After doing all this, Bai Ye didn't rush inside, turned a corner, and came to a floor-to-ceiling window nearby, planning to sit here and eat something first.

However, before he could put down the plastic bag he was carrying, a string of slight footsteps suddenly came from his ears.

"Who'!!"

The sudden sound of footsteps made Bai Ye vigilant, after all, he hadn't noticed anyone else before.

However, at this moment, it seems that there is suddenly an extra person here out of thin air.

Suddenly, some glare lights suddenly lit up in the bookstore.

Because Bai Ye's eyes had adapted to the darkness before, he was suddenly stabbed and couldn't open his eyes, and his body instinctively leaned directly against the bookshelf next to him, so as not to be attacked from behind.

The glare soon disappeared, and the white night regained his sight, and a young man about his age came into view.

The young man was wearing a somewhat tattered overalls, his face was a little gloomy, and he looked at Bai Ye without saying a word.

"Who are you? What are you doing in a bookstore!"

When he saw the other party's appearance clearly, Bai Ye looked at the other party vigilantly and asked.

"You're new on duty?"

The young man looked Bai Ye up and down for a moment, and asked in response.

Bai Ye thought in his heart for a while and nodded, and continued to ask, "Who are you?"

"Like you, I'm also the librarian here. The young man said slowly.

After listening to the young man's answer again, Bai Ye thought about it in his heart, and then had a plan, and pretended to be frightened and spoke.

"You're scared to death, I thought you were a thief! Why don't you turn on the lights?"

"I just tripped, so I just went to the main gate, and then I heard a movement here and came back, I thought it was a thief. ”

The young man's answer was to solve Bai Ye's previous doubts, Bai Ye thought that this bookstore would automatically turn off the lights at night, no wonder it would be dark when he first came in.

After that, Bai Ye glanced at the young man's work card uneasily, and after making sure that there was no problem, Bai Ye completely lifted his guard against the young man, after all, no matter what, it is always good to have one more person to talk to.

After a short period of contact, Bai Ye found that the young man was not a person who was willing to talk much, so it took him a long time to ask some personal information about him from the young man's mouth.

The young man's name is Zhang Shun, and he has been here since he graduated from university, because the rent in the neighborhood is too high, and he doesn't have a girlfriend, so he simply lives in a bookstore. This makes it easier to take care of your books and saves you a lot of money.

Because Zhang Shun was reluctant to talk more, and Bai Ye didn't ask for any useful information from him, he didn't bother to find another topic.

He walked to the window, took out a loaf of bread and a carton of milk from the plastic bag, thought about it, and threw a bottle of drink to Zhang Shun, Zhang Shun casually took the drink thrown by Bai Ye and said.

"Thank you. ”

"No thanks. ”

Bai Ye replied casually, and at the same time took out his mobile phone and pressed the power button, and found that the mobile phone couldn't be turned on no matter what, so he couldn't help but ask Zhang Shun: "Is there a place here that can be charged?"

"There is a rest room on the second floor to be able to charge and there is a charger inside. ”

Zhang Shun pointed to the second floor and replied very succinctly.

"Then I'll go up and charge it for a while, and then I'll come down later. ”

After speaking, Bai Ye directly crossed Zhang Shun and walked quickly to the staircase.

After coming up, Bai Ye found a nearby rest room and walked in, but it was not clear whether it was the one Zhang Shun said.

I just want to find an excuse for myself to avoid Zhang Shun.

As the name suggests, the rest room is specially designed for bookstore employees to rest, and although it is not large, it is full of internal organs.

There is a single bed, and the plug row is on the side of the bed, Bai Ye didn't care so much, and after plugging in the mobile phone charger, he lay directly on the bed.

I tried it, but the phone still couldn't turn on, I don't know if it was because the power was all exhausted, or other reasons, Bai Ye didn't dig deeper, and just put the phone aside.

Lying in bed in the white night, he closed his eyes and began to perceive the situation in the bookstore with his spiritual sense.

After a while, Bai Ye reopened his eyes, a look of doubt appeared on his face, and his eyebrows whispered slightly.

"It doesn't look out of the ordinary, but it always feels weird. ”

Bai Ye, who couldn't think of a reason for the time being, decided to take a nap first, and then go down to change the shift, and then investigate slowly.

He got up and locked the door of the rest room, and released a warning spell on the door, and once someone touched the spell, it would immediately warn the white night.

Lying in bed in the white night, I found a comfortable sleeping position and entered a light sleep state.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Bai Ye was awakened by the warning technique, and his head suddenly twisted towards the door.

I don't know when the door to the lounge was opened!

A gap of about seven or eight centimeters was exposed, constantly seeping inward into the darkness of the outside world.

"Zhang Shun, is that you?"

Bai Ye looked at the door that was suddenly opened, and shouted out of the door vigilantly.

After waiting with bated breath for a while, Bai Ye found that there was no sound outside the door.

Bai Ye, who felt that something was wrong in his heart, carefully got off the bed to the ground, and quietly came to the door.

When Bai Ye walked to the door and stretched out his hand to open the door, he saw the door of the rest room slam shut!

Then, through the door, a string of footsteps came in as they drifted away.

"Is it Zhang Shun?"

I have to say that Bai Ye was startled by the sudden closing of the door, and secretly speculated in his heart.

However, things will not be so simple in the white night.

Although, there are only two people in the entire bookstore building now, he and Zhang Xiaoshun are sleeping inside, so it is very likely that Zhang Shun is hiding behind the door just now.

As for why the door of the rest room was opened, it should have been opened from the outside by Zhang Shunli with a key, after all, he stayed here all year round, and it was not strange to have the keys to each rest room.

"Is it really him?"

Bai Ye was secretly confused in his heart, and then opened the door of the rest room and walked out vigilantly.

When he came out, the outside environment was the same as he had seen through the crack in the door, completely dark.

White Night casually released a lighting spell to illuminate the surroundings and began to explore the dark corridors.

By the light of the illumination, I looked around and found that there were no footprints left on the ground, and the temperature seemed to be abnormal, very cold.

"Is the air conditioner malfunctioning?"

Bai Ye didn't think much about this matter and put it aside for the time being, and went downstairs directly through the staircase, and returned to the first floor again.

"Zhang Shun!

The first floor was also pitch black, and Bai Ye was shouting for Zhang Shun while vigilantly observing the surroundings.

Bai Ye searched for more than half an hour in the hall on the first floor, but he didn't even find half a ghost, so it can be seen that Zhang Shun is not on the first floor.

"Is it upstairs?"

Zhang Shun was not found on the first floor, and the strange feeling in Bai Ye's heart became stronger and stronger, and he returned to the second floor again, and Bai Ye began to search the rest rooms one by one, but still nothing was found.

After searching two floors in a row, Bai Ye found no trace of anyone, and Zhang Shun seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Going up the stairs to the third floor, Bai Ye was a little surprised to find that the illumination light ball around him seemed to have suffered something, and it actually began to flicker.

"There is a situation!"
