Chapter 13
It took a long time for them to reply, and it was a question: "Who are you?" โ
Xu Xin'an frowned, a little hesitant, if he confessed that he was a shopkeeper who was looking for death from some waste wood, would it cause trouble? And she doesn't know who the other party is yet. So she asked, "Who are you?" โ
This time I waited for a long time, and the other party finally sent a message: "Delete the post, call me." "That's followed by a string of mobile phone numbers.
Xu Xin'an hurriedly saved the number in his mobile phone, and then went to the background of the forum to find the post he posted, and read it carefully, there was no useful information in the following post, and he didn't see the message reply of the ID of "Like a Tiger and a Demon". Xu Xin'an found the โกโก button and clicked it.
The post is gone. Xu Xin'an calmed down for half a minute, ready to dial the number, thought about it, and first searched for the user "like a tiger subduing the demon" in "not mysterious", and found it, the registration time is five years, and he is an old user. Xu Xin'an looked at the post he posted. He usually replies to other people's questions, points to answers, or exposes and satirizes some scammers who post, the number of posts is not much, it feels quite low-key, and the content of the reply between the lines and the reply looks quite reliable.
Xu Xin'an finished reading it, and finally dialed the mobile phone number.
After a few rings, the other party answered.
"Hey." It's a man, and his voice doesn't sound old, but it's not a young feeling.
"I'm looking for light." Xu Xin'an whispered her ID number, which she casually set up to register for this forum.
"Hmm." The other party answered this and then lost his voice, which is quite cool. Xu Xin'an frowned, and deliberately did not speak, waiting for the other party to say.
After a while, the other party finally spoke, and he asked, "What are you looking for the soul candle for?" โ
Xu Xin'an didn't answer, and said, "You haven't said who you are. โ
The man laughed, "The little girl is very alert." โ
Xu Xin'an somewhat understood, the other party didn't know whether she was a man or a woman or an old or young person through the Internet, so he deliberately asked her to call, and now that she heard that she was a girl, she was more relieved.
"I'm a death-seeking shopkeeper." The man replied.
"Which one?" Xu Xin'an asked.
The man smiled again and replied, "Wu family." My name is Wu Chuan. He paused and asked, "What about you?" โ
"Xu. Xu Xin'an. Xu Xin'an also replied. In fact, she had no idea which Wu family was, but the man actually said that he was the shopkeeper who was looking for death, which made her feel relieved and felt like she had found an alliance. I was a little excited, she actually found the death shop that Bi Fang couldn't find!
She was about to ask him about the Soul Candle, but when she turned her head, she found that Bi Fang had woken up, and he was looking at her sideways with his arms on his back.
Xu Xin'an also didn't want Bi Fang to know that she had found the Death Shop, or should I say that she didn't want him to know until he was sure. The Death Shop and the Soul Candle mean Bi Fang's death. He said he was looking forward to it, and she felt that she didn't mind at all, but at this moment, she couldn't tell what she thought. Anyway, I don't want him to know yet.
"Well, it turned out to be a descendant of the Xu family. And then what? Why look for soul candles? Where's your one? โ
Xu Xin'an opened his mouth, turned his gaze away from Bi Fang's face, stared at the cash register on the counter, and said, "Can we meet?" Let's talk about it when we meet. โ
"Okay. What city are you in? โ
"W City."
"Me too. What a coincidence. โ
"It's Sunday, the day after tomorrow. Is it convenient? โ
"Now that I have time, can you come out now?" Wu Chuan said, "I have something to do, I have to go to other places tomorrow, and it may take a while to come back." โ
Xu Xin'an hesitated, feeling completely unprepared. She originally thought that she would have two days to do her homework and learn more about Sunday, but Wu Chuan was leaving, and she was a little panicked. If you miss the opportunity, it may not be the time to make an appointment next time.
"Okay, for now. Where is it? โ
Wu Chuan said the address of a coffee shop, saying that he would arrive in half an hour, and if Xu Xin'an didn't come after waiting for twenty minutes, or Xu Xin'an didn't come alone, then he would leave. "As you know, the Death Shop hasn't been peaceful lately. I don't know who you are, and agreeing to meet you is already an adventure. So don't tell anyone about this, you can only do it alone. โ
He said it reasonably, because in Xu Xin'an's opinion, it was also a risk for her to meet him.
"What color are you wearing?" Wu Chuan asked.
"Red coat, shawl hair, black-rimmed glasses."
"Okay, I'll greet you when you get there." After Wu Chuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
It's really cautious, not to mention his physical features, it seems that he didn't plan for her to find him, and if he felt anything was wrong, he would just leave. Maybe he really knows the inside story, and he is really looking for the death of the shopkeeper, so he is so careful to take precautions.
Xu Xin'an thought so, turned his head, and found Bi Fangzheng lying on the counter looking at her.
"Going out?"
"Hmm." Xu Xin'an pretended to be calm and said casually, "You help me take a look at the store." โ
"Who are you seeing?" Bi Fang also asked as if nothing happened.
"See the man." Xu Xin said fiercely with peace of mind, "You care so wide." Take a good look at the store. โ
In order not to ask him more, she took her bag and hurried out, not daring to turn her head back, she simply ran away with her tail between her legs.
There was plenty of time, Xu Xin'an took the subway over, sorted out her thoughts along the way, and the first thing that came to mind was that she had just forgotten to tell the god not to spoil the things in her store. Forget it, she is not staring at her, and it is useless to tell her. This god is not tens of thousands of years old, in fact, he is still in the period of juvenile rebellion, and it would be bad if he was even worse after the instructions. When he went back and found that he had broken one, he deducted a meal to make up for it.
Xu Xin'an imagined that Bi Fang couldn't eat the dishes he wanted to eat, and shouted in protest, as well as his expression of deliberately expressing dissatisfaction with his chin and pouting, and his heart actually calmed down. The tension over this meeting faded like the wind. Thinking back to the heroic scene when she waved her broom and chased Bi Fang out of a street away, her heart suddenly became heroic. That's right, she is nervous about anything, and she doesn't have to be afraid of anything. She can handle the kind of thing that a monster walks into her shop and wants to die, and what else can't she handle.
Xu Xin'an was calm and calm, she sorted out the questions she wanted to ask for a while in her heart, hoping that this Mr. Wu Chuan was a good talker.
When I arrived at the coffee shop, it was only half an hour away. The area of the store is not large, Xu Xin'an stood for a while, looked at everyone in the store, and did not see any suspicious characters, or should I say that I didn't see anyone who paid special attention to her. So she found a conspicuous place to sit down, thinking that Wu Chuan probably hadn't arrived yet.
As a result, as soon as the farts touched the chair, a man sat opposite. He looks like he is in his thirties, thin, with single eyelids, sharp eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and quite imposing. He looked at Xu Xin'an for a while, smiled and asked her, "Xu Xin'an?" โ
"Yes." Xu Xin'an sat upright.
"I'm Wu Chuan." He said.
"Hello." Xu Xin'an didn't know how to start, so he beckoned to the waiter, wanting to order two cups of coffee first, so that the conversation would not be so awkward.
As a result, Wu Chuan waved his hand to the waiter who came over and said, "I'm sorry, we won't order first." โ
When the waiter walked away, he whispered, "It's not convenient to talk about the topic here." โ
"Oh." Xu Xin'an was stunned and responded, what are you doing here?
At this time, Wu Chuan took out a machine that looked like a mobile phone but was smaller than a mobile phone, and said to Xu Xin'an: "I have to do a test on you to prove whether you are a shopkeeper who is looking for death, is it okay?" โ
"How to test?" Xu Xin'an became vigilant.
Wu Chuan lit up the small machine: "Just touch your wrist with this tester, and you will feel a little like a slight electric shock." Just once, rest assured, I won't hurt you. It's a public place. โ
I see. Xu Xin'an was relieved. It's not convenient to talk about the dead shop here, but it can make the meeting between both parties feel more secure, and he will move to a suitable place when he confirms her identity. Xu Xin'an felt that this Wu Chuan was really thoughtful and careful.
"Okay." Xu Xin'an agreed. She stretched out her wrist and looked at the machine, a little curious. "What can I measure with electricity?"
Wu Chuan smiled and quickly touched her with a machine when she was asking.
Xu Xin'an felt a numbness in his wrist, a slight tingling, and instinctively shrunk. Wu Chuan has already finished the test. He turned the other side of the screen to her, "Your soul power is super strong. "On the screen, there are dense small grids, and at this time the grids are all green.
Xu Xin'an was very surprised, before this moment, she didn't know that there was such a thing as a "Soul Detector" in this world.
"Full grid means strong?" She asked.
"Yes, green represents human beings." Wu Chuan touched his wrist with the tester and showed the test results to Xu Xin'an. Nearly 90% of his tartan is green, and the rest is gray. He whispered: "Because the shopkeeper is on a mission, his soul power is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Ordinary people are 50~60, and a small number of them can reach 70, and those above 70 are generally trained by demon slayers or some immortal cultivators. Wu Chuan put the machine back in his pocket and smiled at Xu Xin'an, "Your soul power is super strong, stronger than mine, and you are the strongest I have ever seen." โ
Xu Xin'an was simply flattered, and she laughed twice: "Thank you." "I really don't know how to react. Although it seemed very unprofessional to ask this question, she still asked, "So what exactly does soul power mean?" โ
Anyway, she is really a layman, and she has lived up to this good soul power. If you don't understand, you have to ask, this is a truth that children know, so she is not ashamed at all.
Wu Chuan was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting the shopkeeper to ask such a question. He stood up and pulled out his chair: "Let's go, go somewhere else to talk." โ
"Oh, okay." Xu Xin'an remembered that people had said before that it was not suitable to talk about such a topic here.
Xu Xin'an followed Wu Chuan.
