Underground book vaults.

Removed the 79th volume of "The Secret Archives of Important Chinese Figures" from the bookshelf, and Liu Xing flipped through it. In this book, many well-known figures of the Huaxia plot genre are included.

After quickly scanning the information files of these characters, Liu Xing found that most of the masters of the plot genre lived in provinces and cities in western China, accounting for about 80%.

Tianhai City is located in the eastern part of China, and there are not many masters of the plot genre.

After searching for most of the book for a long time, Liu Xing finally found one.

Secret File No. 16258

Individual*: 1. In order to maintain efficient rational thinking, long-term abstinence. 2. Collect a set of "Complete Works of Plot Laws......

……

"The Complete Works of Plot Laws?"

Liu Xing's eyes lit up, this was exactly the book he was looking for.

The information in "The Secret Archives of Important Chinese Figures" was collected 40 years ago, when Huo Fu was a 38-year-old middle-aged man, and now he should be a 78-year-old man.

After that, Liu Xing hurriedly returned to the first floor of the book bar and looked up information about Huo Fu on the Internet.

After the investigation, Liu Xing was pleased to find that Huo Fu was indeed still alive, and he was already the president of the Tianhai Star Writers Association, and almost everyone in the writers' circle knew about it.

According to the information on the Internet, the address of President Horford's current residence is the Yufeng Community near the Yufeng Novel Academy.

……

It's dark at night.

The Yufeng community is surrounded by a high wall, and in a bush of grass outside the wall, a black figure lies in ambush.

swept around, there was no abnormal situation, and with a bang, Liu Xingfei jumped up, borrowed his toes from the wall, bounced into the air, and jumped over the four-meter-high fence and jumped into the community.

Sou!

The black shadow flickered, passed through the community square, and quickly swept to the residential building A of the community, like a black meteor, and disappeared into the dim corner in a blink of an eye.

"Horford lives in unit 501. ”

Liu Xing raised his head, looked towards the top of the residential building, and silently counted the number of floors.

The lights in the room on the 5th floor are still on, and Horford hasn't rested yet?

"Check it out. ”

The body rose into the air, and along the wall of the building, Liu Xing performed the skill of gecko swimming on the wall, and ran upwards at high speed, 1 meter, 5 meters, 10 meters......

After a short time, he had already reached the height of the fifth floor, and his feet slammed against the wall, and his body suddenly changed direction, turning into a black shadow and jumping into a small balcony on the fifth floor.

This balcony is facing a bedroom with white lights shining through the bedroom window.

Leaning against the wall, Liu Xing approached the window and looked into the bedroom, which was a spacious study, nearly 40 square meters, with multiple white bookshelves standing in the room, which were full of books.

"Is this Horford's study?"

After checking for a while, there was still no abnormality in the study, and the window of the study was twenty centimeters wide, which was not too narrow.

Performing the bone shrinking skill, with a snort, Liu Xing passed through the window and entered the study, his body falling to the floor gently like a feather, without making a sound.

There was no one in the study, so Liu Xing stood up and walked to the first row of bookshelves.

With a sweep of his eyes, he saw a bunch of titles related to novel chess: "Duan's Chess Score", "Novel Chess Classic Dead Game", "Advanced Layout of Novel Chess", "Plot Design of Novel Chess", ......

Seeing this, Liu Xing basically confirmed that this was Huo Fu's study. Novel chess is a kind of chess used to practice plot layout, and most readers of the plot genre have novel chess games at home, and Huo Fu is no exception.

Skipping hundreds of chess books, Liu Xing wandered around several bookshelves in the study, and finally saw a familiar word on the third bookshelf - the complete works of plot laws.

"So many books?"

Liu Xing frowned slightly, and saw that there were a total of 1,200 books on the shelves, all of which had black and white covers with black and white patterns, and they had the same name: "The Complete Works of Plot Law".

The plot law is the law of plot evolution of the novel, which is like the law of the universe, mysterious and profound, endless. Therefore, this set of "Complete Works of Plot Laws" has 1,200 volumes, which can be regarded as an encyclopedia of plots.

"With so many books, which one do I need?"

If you want to learn all the 1,200 plot law books, it is estimated that it will take at least ten years and eight years.

Fortunately, Liu Xing just wants to use plot laws to solve some problems in "Reading Methods in the Same Context and Different Feelings", and he doesn't need to learn a full set of plot laws.

Liu Xing began to look for plot books on the shelves that suited him.

After a while, I heard a conversation, and if I looked closely, it seemed to come from the living room.

"Someone in the living room?"

Liu Xing walked lightly to the door of the study, poked his head slightly, and looked towards the living room, only to see two people sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Sitting on the left is an old man in his seventies and eighties, with gray hair and kind eyebrows, who is Huo Fu, the president of the Tianhai Star Writers Association.

Sitting on the right is a familiar face, in his fifties, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, it is none other than Wu Guokun, the director of the Jianshu Building.

At this time, there was a stack of documents on the desktop in front of Huo Fu and Wu Guokun, which was called "Application Form for Huaxia Star Writers".

Seeing this, Liu Xing basically understood the situation.

As the president of the Star Writers Association, Huo Fu will be responsible for assessing star writers, and Huo Fu will naturally have to look at these "Application Forms for Chinese Star Writers".

"President Huo, these five are the most recent application forms for star writers. Director Wu Guokun introduced, "The five applicants have all created a star novel, which has passed the appraisal of the book testing center. Their average age is only 27 years old, and the youngest of them is only 17 years old. ”

"Seventeen years old?" said Chairman Horford, frowning slightly, "That's the little girl who created Detective Conan: The Shadow Man, right?"

"Yes. Director Wu Guokun was curious, "President Huo, do you know Wang Lanlan?"

President Huo Fu smiled, shook his head and said, "I don't know this little girl, but I read her book "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man" yesterday. The plot of this novel is still good, especially the relationship between the Black Shadow and Jin Yuxin, which is quite delicately written, and the subtle emotions of the hero and the beautiful woman are presented in the plot of the mystery novel, which is quite remarkable. I have never been able to write a relationship story like this. ”

"You're right, this plot is really brilliantly written, it's the finishing touch. Wu Guokun agreed.

"It's a pity that this "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man" has an obvious shortcoming, that is, the character portrayal is too exaggerated and unreasonable. ”

Chairman Huo Fu analyzed, "The male protagonist of the novel, the Black Shadow Man, is so powerful that he can do almost anything. According to the description in the novel, the Dark Shadow Man is not only strong in martial arts, able to stun opponents in an instant, but also able to fly up walls and run faster than a motorcycle. The Shadow Man is both a righteous chivalrous warrior who acts at night and a master of thieves, and there is little he can't steal. The description of the Black Shadow Man is too exaggerated, and this is a major failure of this novel. ”

Wu Guokun explained: "According to Wang Lanlan's statement, the description of the black shadow man in the novel is what she saw with her own eyes, and she said that she had really seen the black shadow man. ”

President Huo Fu smiled knowingly and said, "Wang Lanlan is just a little girl after all, she is still at the age of fantasy, and she always likes some surreal ideas, which is understandable. However, first-class mystery novels require rigorous logic, and characters like the Black Shadow Man, who obviously defy common sense, obviously should not appear in mystery novels, which itself is the biggest logical loophole. ”

"I think the description of the Black Shadow Man is too exaggerated, how can people fly ......"

Click!

The two were chatting, when there was a soft sound in the study.

"What sound?"

President Huo Fu felt strange, there was no one else in the house at all, and there should be no sound in the study, so in order to find out, he got up and walked in the direction of the study, and Director Wu Guokun followed.

When the two of them walked into the study, they found that it was empty, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary......

"President Huo, look!"

At this time, Wu Guokun pointed to the third bookshelf in the study and said, "Some of the books on the bookshelf are missing!"

President Huo Fu took a closer look, his face changed suddenly, the third row of bookshelves was originally full of books from the Complete Works of Plot Law, but at this time, a large blank space appeared on the bookshelf, and dozens of books were missing.

"Where's my book?"

President Horford walked briskly to the bookshelves, searching back and forth, but never found any missing books. The books on the shelves were still there a few hours ago, but why are they suddenly gone?

"Hmm, what is this?" At this time, Wu Guokun pointed to the bookshelf, "President Huo, there is a message note!"

President Horford also noticed that there was a white note pasted on the glass cover of the bookshelf, and the sentence on the note was impressively written: "Borrow a book and return it in two days." The Shadow Man stays. ”

"Black ...... Shadow Man?"

Seeing these words, President Huo Fu chuckled in his heart and looked around, "This note was left by the Shadow Man......? Shadow Man?"

Director Wu Guokun's mind was also a little confused: "Could it be that the lost "Complete Works of Plot Law" was stolen by the Black Shadow Man?"

"This ...... How is that possible?" President Horford was completely incredulous, "We were in the living room just now, and we didn't see anyone enter the study, how could the Shadow Man steal the books?"

Director Wu Guokun thought for a while and reminded: "According to the description in "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man", the Black Shadow Man can fly in the air, and it is easy for him to fly off the wall, and he may have secretly flown into the study. ”

"But...... This is clearly counterintuitive. President Horford said, "How can humans fly? Besides, there is no other entrance to my study, how can the Shadow Man fly in? This thing is so weird!"

Director Wu Guokun asked, "What now?"

President Huo Fu frowned, his eyes fell on the note on the glass cover of the bookshelf, he thought for a moment, and said: "The black shadow man in "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man" is very trustworthy, if my book is really stolen by the black shadow man, then he should return the book in two days. ”

"Are you going to wait two days?"

"Although I still don't believe in any dark shadow people, this thing is interesting, isn't it?" Chairman Horford himself is a writer of mystery novels, and his curiosity is several times stronger than that of ordinary people. Encountering such an abnormal situation tonight, he naturally wanted to find out.

"We'll wait two days to see. ”

……

Holding dozens of copies of "The Complete Works of Plot Laws", Liu Xing returned to the Meteor Book.

Over the next two days, he scanned the books to find the plot and rhythm knowledge he needed.

……

Late at night, Yufeng Community Suite.

"Two days have passed, and tonight is the day when the Shadow Man returns the book. President Horford sat on the couch in his study, ready to wait for the Shadow Man to appear.

"It's one o'clock in the morning, the Black Shadow Man won't stop coming, right?" Wu Guokun on the other side also looked puzzled, "President Huo, are we too naïve to really believe that there are Black Shadow People?"

Chairman Horford smiled and said, "This thing does sound ridiculous, how can anyone be able to fly off the wall......

Syllable!

As he was talking, there was a sudden noise in the living room.

President Huo Fu was stunned: "Could it be that the Shadow Man has appeared? Go, go out and have a look!"

After speaking, he and Wu Guokun rushed to the living room quickly.

Looking around, there was no one in the living room at all.

It's just that there are a bunch of books on the table in the living room!

President Horford took a closer look and was dumbfounded.

"This ...... These are the books I lost two days ago!"

President Horford could barely believe his eyes that the books had actually returned.

How the hell did they get back?

This is the fifth floor, and the door to the suite is locked, so could it be that these books flew in with wings?

Syllable!

Before President Huo Fu and Director Wu Guokun came back to their senses, at this time, there was another strange noise in the study.

The two hurried back to the study, but unfortunately, they still didn't see any figures.

However, another batch of books is missing from the bookshelves in the third row of the study!

On the glass cover of the bookshelf, there is also a new note. The note reads: "I benefited a lot from borrowing books last time, and I would like to offer a book loan fee to express my gratitude." The Shadow Man stays. ”

Next to the note, there were five hundred-dollar bills.

"500 yuan?"

President Horford picked up $500 and looked at it carefully to make sure it was genuine.

"This black shadow man is really stingy, he took away dozens of books worth tens of thousands of yuan, and actually only gave 500 yuan for borrowing money. ”

"The borrowing fee is not the point!" President Huo Fu looked at the 500 yuan in his hand, with a complicated expression on his face, "The point is ...... Does the Shadow Man really exist?"
