By the time Qianzhou came out of the library, it was already completely dark.

Qianzhou rubbed his stomach, which was a little crampy due to hunger, and he seemed to have always had the problem of forgetting time when he read a book. And the fact that there is no takeaway reminds him that he is no longer in the original world.

It was almost eight o'clock, but the lights were everywhere, and the spread of electric lights made the night in this city that never sleeps even more magnificent than ever. The front under the light reveals a kind of drunken beauty, why bother with her hiding behind the shadows?

"Young man, poor Taoist Temple, your Yin Hall is black, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of blood and light!" Just as Qianzhou was about to taste Yundu's food, he was suddenly stopped from behind.

Qianzhou turned his head and looked at it, first surprised, then happy.

The Taoist priest was no more than twenty, not a few years older than Qianzhou, his sun-like blonde hair was curled into a Taoist bun, his facial features were straight, and his blue eyes were like a pair of transparent gems. And it was such a handsome blonde and blue-eyed guy who was wearing a half-worn robe, holding a flag, and writing "Iron mouth is straightforward, a hexagram is a thousand gold", so that Qianzhou could only sigh a combination of Chinese and Western.

"Dao Chief, I'm sorry I really don't have any money. Qianzhou's face was sincere.

"It's okay, it's okay, poor Anzhe, I'll talk to you for free when I see you fit. The Taoist priest was very familiar with Qianzhou's shoulder.

Qianzhou quietly brushed away An Zhe's hand, and at the same time quickly got into the crowd: "No, no, I still have to leave beforehand." ”

"Alas, you are really black, I can definitely be right this time. ”

Suppressing the desire to complain in his heart, Qianzhou turned into an uninhabited alley.

......

"I'm so hungry. Qianzhou sighed lowly. After turning around, it seems that it has been far away from the bustling city, and only a piece of moonlight flows quietly over the high wall.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the silent alley, and someone walked towards the thousand boats.

Qianzhou looked up, and the person who came was a delicate and old girl like a doll.

Yes, "exquisite" and "old" are the first impressions of Qianzhou.

The delicate face of the girl is as if it was carefully carved by the most clever craftsman, and every point of the whole body reveals the just right amount of flawless beauty of "adding one point is too long, subtracting one point is too short, powdering it is too white, and Shi Zhu is too red", as if it is the "son of the owner" who only exists in the book.

The girl's hair was as pale as time had passed, her purple eyes were like clear crystals, and her black robe melted into the night.

Somehow, looking at the girl's emotionless face, Qianzhou only felt as if the other party had crossed a thousand years, as if he had just woken up from the corner of history and had not yet shaken off the dust.

"Who are you?" Qianzhou asked three words word by word, as if hot lava was stuck in his throat.

"Gewu Research Society. The girl spoke softly, her voice like the tapping of jade, and the sound of gold and iron, "They call me Aurora." ”

"No way. Qianzhou furrowed his brows, the Gewu Research Society, which once dominated Xizhou, had been destroyed thousands of years ago, because it was the "fact" he wrote down by his own hand!

"So sure, it looks like you know a lot about it, kid. Another man came out of the darkness.

The man wore a top hat, a neat suit, and a cane in his hand. At a glance, he has the sturdiness of youth, the calmness of middle age, and the wisdom of an old man.

[Scourge Faust] - The trader who fights the devil eventually becomes the devil.

Knowing that Qianzhou came to be stunned.

"How did Faust end up in Yundu at this time?"

"Since Faust is here, what about Lanting?"

Thinking of the girl who was far away in Xizhou, Qianzhou was suddenly shocked, if the script was changed, would she still be able to overcome the suffering given by the novelist?

"Faust. Qianzhou chewed his words, "How is Lan Ting now." ”

In this sentence, Qianshu uses a word technique, assuming that Faust has already contacted Lanting, and implying that Qianshu got Faust's information from Lanting.

"That interesting little girl," said Faust, with an interested expression, "but why should I tell you?"

Hearing Faust's answer, Qianzhou breathed a sigh of relief, Lan Ting was at least okay for now.

Thinking of this, Qianzhou was not so nervous, and even put his hands in his pockets and changed to a comfortable position and leaned against the wall. The moonlight hit half of his face, which was both a little elegant and a little unbridled.

"So, what are you doing to block me here at night?" It was incredible, Qianzhou felt that his violent heartbeat had calmed down, but the beating of his heart became more and more powerful, sending hot blood to his whole body at once.

"Take it easy, kid. I'm just a businessman, and I'm here just to collect the balance of the transaction with the Gewu Research Institute. Faust's tone was unhurried, like chatting with an old friend over an afternoon of black tea.

"The final payment?" Qianzhou sneered, "When did you have a cash on delivery service?" Not to mention that the Gewu Research Society became a piece of loess thousands of years ago, who will pay you the final payment?

Faust was not angered by Qianzhou's deliberate words, and he didn't seem to mind Qianzhou's clichés, still with an unpredictable smile: "No, no, no, she is the one who can inherit the name of the Gewu Research Association." It took me a lot of effort to find or wake her up. ”

Hearing this, Qianzhou already had a premonition in his heart, and then Faust continued to say in an aria-like voice: "She is the taboo of the highest wisdom of the Gewu Research Society, and she is also the last dawn of inheriting the name of Gewu, the coincidence of human intelligence and miracle - Aurora. ”

Even if the girl is talked about like this, she just stands there quietly, and her expressionless face is distressing.

"And what about your final payment?"

Faust shrugged: "I seem to be a step late, but how can I meet someone like you who has no past but knows so much?"

Then Faust turned around and led the girl into the darkness: "It seems that the balance will not be received today, child, looking forward to meeting you next time." ”

As the two disappeared, the faint sound of pedestrians talking again came from the entrance of the alley, and the crisp sound of insects began to drift in the night breeze.

Looking at the empty alley, Qianzhou suddenly smiled: "Everyone thinks that they are chess players, but they don't know that in this absurd story, everyone is a person in the book." ”

As if scratched by hair, a few wisps of blood swept across the tip of Qianzhou's nose. When he looked around the corner of the alley, he saw a figure on the ground, scarlet blood accumulating into a small pool.

Before Qianzhou could react, more than a dozen policemen rushed in and raised their pistols: "Hold your head in your hands and squat." ”

Qianzhou twitched the corner of his mouth and squatted down from the heart.
