Season 2 Chapter 21 Vaguely in a dream

"Thank you, Guozhen, for today's communication was fruitful and efficient." Kmeren sat behind a large desk, his hands crossed and his chin propped up.

"Okay, what other instructions do you have here?" Chen Guozhen bowed down and prepared to leave his seat.

Cameron lowered his crossed hands, leaned forward, and stared at Chen Guozhen with blazing eyes.

"There is one thing, the shareholders of the group are full of interest in the construction of the Internet community, and I have to prepare for it first."

"Okay, similar ideas have been put forward by many customers, I can prepare relevant introduction materials for you first." Chen Guozhen nodded.

"Guozhen, you must know that this is a strategic layout of the group, if this Internet community can be built, the group's warehousing and logistics, EIP process, information release and the group's more than 10,000 employees of the online community will be realized, the group's management will leap into a new level." Kemeron's eyes were shining, and his face was ruddy.

"I know, but please have a consideration in mind, something like this huge project that will involve a lot of hardware equipment and application software development must be expensive, so how do you think about your budget?" Chen Guozhen looked at Cameron's expression seriously.

Cameron leaned back in his chair and said indifferently, "The budget of a company of our size is in the range of 40 million to 50 million, and the group thinks this is reasonable!" ”

"50 million, wow! Huge amounts! Chen Guozhen's eyes were full of light, and a longing smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

"Please help me prepare the relevant introduction materials, I want to start understanding the details as soon as possible." Ke Melon stood up indifferently and sent Chen Guozhen out.

After getting off work, Cmelon drove out of the underground garage and drove out of the car, driving on the noisy highway, in a quiet carriage, he could only hear the constant ticking of the fuel gauge, and the front and rear taillights of the car on the entire highway were intertwined into a sea of brilliant colors.

This mood continued until I rehearsed in the symphony orchestra three times in a row, because my violin played a slow beat, which caused the rehearsal to be extremely unsmooth throughout the night.

In the eyes of the whole orchestra, Cameron tore off his bow, took a few big breaths, apologized to the orchestra members, and left first, walking out of the theater gate, looking at the bright lights of the street in the distance, and Cameron walked into one of the bars alone.

The Ballantine's 18-year-old whiskey with ice cubes has a bitter taste and dips into the throat like an open floodgate, and the emotions in the body are churning, and the red men and green women in the bar are like elongated rays in Cameron's eyes, flickering and reflecting the indiscernible colorful patterns.

A woman of great grace in a black suspender tuxedo sat down next to Cmelon and, as a matter of course, took his Ballantine's 18 and poured herself a full glass, which she drank as if no one was around.

Cameron didn't speak, but took the bottle and filled it up for both of them, and the two of them finished their glasses of wine in relative silence

"What do you call it?" Cameron asked.

The "No. 2" woman brushed her shawl hair, revealing a mysterious and keen face.

The hustle and bustle of the bar instantly became a quiet curtain wall, and Lisa Ono's "Followme" imperceptibly stirred the restlessness in Cameren's heart.

Come with me

Come with me through a sea of sparkles

In a new continent, waiting in the unknown

Existence beyond dreams

Outside of the happiness that was once tasted

Follow me along the road to true love

Flying over the long night in the ignorance of the years

Merge into that light, no longer obscured by tears

Get out of the haze of all the wasted time

There was a guy who was driving a hot air balloon and found him lost. He lowered the altitude of the flight and recognized a man on the ground. He continued to descend and shouted at the man, "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?" ”

The man below said, "Yes." You're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet in the air. ”

The person in the hot air balloon said, "You must be doing technical work in the IT department." ”

"That's right," said the man on the ground, "how do you know?" ”

"Hehe," said the man in the hot air balloon, "everything you tell me is technically correct, but it doesn't work." ”

The man on the ground said, "You must be someone from management." ”

"Yes," said the man in the hot air balloon, "but how do you know?" ”

"Hehe", said the man on the ground, "you don't know where you are, you don't know where you're going, and you always want me to help you." You were in the same place when we first met, but now it's my mistake. ”

"Hahaha, I'm the IT manager, hahaha, bartender, one more bottle!"

After a bottle of wine, Cameron was already drunk, but No. 2 was unusually sober as if he had just sat down, and listened absentmindedly to Cameren's chatter.

"Every year, so much IT budget goes through my hands, flows into the hands of hardware manufacturers, flows into the hands of software manufacturers, flows into the hands of scanners, copiers, and what mess there is DDN, VPN private line, by the way, and on the recording phone, hahaha, on the recording phone. Hahaha. ”

Cameron slapped the bar counter hard, laughing maniacally as he poured a full glass of wine into his mouth.

"It's just that not a penny has flowed into your hands, has it?" For the first time, Number Two filled Cameron with wine.

"I ...... The annual salary, year-end bonus and everything are enough, and the most important thing is that I am a person with clean sleeves and a noble character, I don't use my brain, and I never do anything that violates the law and discipline. Cmelon closed his eyes and drank another glass of wine.

"A noble person like you should have a reason to get more." No. 2 continued to fill the wine glass with an indifferent expression.

"You...... What does it mean, what does it mean? Cameron hooked his head, straining hard to keep himself from falling asleep.

Two turned his face and seemed to say something, but seemed to just look at Cameron, and then Cameron felt the scene around him begin to spin rapidly. It has become a buzzing cabinet group in the computer room, an amiable phone operator, and an Internet budget of 50 million capital letters.

Entering the office, Cameron was in a sluggish state of mind today, curled up in a high-backed chair without a trace of strength. The phone rang and picked up the phone, it was Chen Guozhen calling.

"Mr. Ke, I have asked your secretary to put the relevant information on your desk, and I will confirm with you whether you have received it."

Cameron held up the thick stack of documents on the table and smiled to himself, "Roger, are you going to let me read it all?" ”

"Now the product is a rudimentary model based on your needs, and you can only understand it through these basic materials."

"Okay, thank you." Cameron hung up the phone and threw the documents on the table, making a loud bang.

The secretary pushed the door and walked in, "What's the matter, Mr. Ke?" ”

"You go check the phone number of HP's Internet Solutions department, tell them that we have a need for this, and ask them to come and talk about the situation."

A man and a woman sitting across from Cmeren's desk handed over their business cards, the man was the general manager of the Internet business unit, and the woman was the director of the Great Northwest Region.

"Tell me about your company's current situation with regard to the Internet." Cameron nodded slightly.

The man and woman glanced at each other, and the woman said, "Mr. Ke, I believe you should have understood a lot of concepts, but I believe that the senior management of your company will definitely not have any concept of this, and I am afraid that there is no time to study the details of this part in depth." ”

Cameron didn't speak, but carefully looked at the regional director, with exquisite clothing, capable temperament, and deep patience from the inside out.

"Well, your analysis is accurate." After waiting for the secretary to finish serving tea to the two, Cameron motioned for the two to continue.

"From the perspective of products, the basic concept and processing logic are only a prototype of any service vendor, and we now have a complete product version, so I think it is best to set up a test environment in your company and conduct a product demonstration for your company's senior personnel, so that they can more intuitively understand what kind of effect the product will be built." The boss of the business department suggested.

"Well, that's good." Cameron smiled and nodded.

"The main purpose of this is to let the executives make decisions after looking at the product, and you will have a lot less pressure on this area, so that you can put more energy into the details." The regional director added with a smile.

"Well, yes, the decision must be made by the high-level, and such a large project must be cautious." With his hands crossed and his face flushed with excitement, Cameron began to explain the significance of this product to the company's development.

A week later.

At the presentation site, Cameron carefully observed the reaction of each chairman of the board of directors, and sure enough, in the PPT introduction part, it was obvious that every director seemed to have understood very well, but in fact, no one listened, and when it came to the demonstration part, Cameron was finally pleased to see that all the directors had entered the role, looking at the projector, writing and drawing, and talking to each other from time to time.

"How did you build that staff-style forum?" The director in charge of human resources asks questions.

"We mainly adopt an open architecture, and employees can log in and register through the company's website, obtain an ID number, and then log in to the forum and speak freely." The boss of the business department introduced.

"Isn't it okay for anyone to speak however they want?" The director in charge of human resources asked unhurriedly.

"No, all speeches will be reviewed by the moderator before they can be published, and the right to set this moderator is in the hands of the system administrator, in other words, in the hands of the leaders of your company." The regional director added in a timely manner.

The director in charge of human resources did not speak, and bowed his head and recorded it in his notebook.

"When does the shipment process management of your EIP start and end?" The director in charge of production asks a question.

"For the process management of this EIP, we adopt the whole life cycle management and monitoring mode. From the moment the invoice is generated, it will be clearly marked in the flow chart which link has been reached, what the next link is, and there will be business reminders to prompt the relevant responsible persons to deal with it, if it is not processed within the time limit, it will be automatically reported to the superior leadership, so as to continue to promote the business progress. ”

The directors asked a lot of questions, and finally everyone's eyes turned to the secretary of the party committee.

The secretary of the party committee took a sip of tea and opened his mouth indifferently, "We are such a big company, everything must be strictly controlled through the process, no rules are not a circle, this rule must always represent the development requirements of the group's advanced productive forces, always represent the direction of the group's advanced culture, and always represent the fundamental interests of the group's employees." ”

Everyone nodded and took notes.

"Yes, the secretary you are so right, our process design is positioned to keep up with the pace of enterprise changes, in the process of the rule of the change, the change of the process, and the authority management part of the group are all handed over to the top leaders of the group to plan the overall situation, the overall control of the bureau. Truly humanized management and refined operation. "The Regional Director is genuine.

"Well, also, some of our comrades are used to this handwritten signature, and now they have this electronic approval, so I have no place for a calligraphy enthusiast." The party secretary spread his hands.

Everyone agreed, and it was reasonable.

"Please rest assured that we have done two parts of the work, the first is that all documents that are determined to require electronic signatures and hand signatures must be signed by hand before they can take effect. Also, everyone, please take a look. ”

An engraved seal appeared on the projector, and the font on it was simple and heavy.

"We will also enter the electronic signatures of leaders at all levels, and at the same time as the electronic signature, the electronic signatures will be arranged. Make sure there are no deviations. The regional director said.

Everyone nodded, this thing is good, and your own seal should be well designed.

Kemeron saw that everyone was very satisfied, and in the end, the party secretary made a concluding speech and announced the adjournment of the meeting. Kemeron hurried to the party secretary who was held by the stars, took out a pen and paper and prepared to record.

"Xiao Ke, this thing is worth doing, and it also proves that our leadership team is prescient in this matter" The party secretary stood still and began to instruct.

"Yes, secretary, what you said is so right, the team you lead is always moving so fast, and it can often transform my concepts, I must strictly follow your thinking to implement this matter well, and implement it well." Cmeron's respectful head could be buried in his chest.

"This matter should be implemented as a key project in the near future." The party secretary waved his hand and pointed out the country.

"Okay, secretary." Kemeroni took notes in his notebook with a charming face.

Looking at the back of the party secretary being surrounded by the stars and the moon, Cameron looked at the dust, and a wave of achievements mixed with excitement rushed to the hundreds of bones, and returned to the conference room with joy and dance, and discussed the implementation plan in detail with the people of HP.

A week later.

Cameron was led into the office of the party secretary by the chief of staff with trepidation.

The office is empty, bright, and powerful.

"Secretary, are you looking for me?" Like a cat, Cameron didn't dare make any more noise.

The party secretary Yan Ran raised his gaze from the document calmly, and looked at Cameron with a powerful aura.

Cameron held his breath, his hair standing on end.

"Xiao Ke, there is a matter, the director of IBM Greater Northwest called me, saying that the cooperation with us was very good before, but in this Internet

On the project, there is artificial resistance to shield them. After the party secretary finished speaking, he stared at Kemeron.

Cameron was silent for a few seconds, and then opened his mouth reverently, "Secretary, I first found IBM for this matter, because of this project, they also have no mature products, and I have been chasing them to do concrete demonstrations and speeches." From the perspective of a professional manufacturer, I will guide me to carry out my work steadily. ”

Cameron paused, glanced at the unangry secretary, and continued.

"They have not made much progress in this regard, so I can only contact HP and ask them to talk about it first, HP people have demonstrated the quality of a professional manufacturer through specific work, which is still helpful for the development of my work."

Kemeron could feel that the murderous aura in the secretary's body was slowly waning.

"I haven't blocked IBM at all, and it's not yet at the start stage of the project, and a lot of work after that, according to the group's public bidding system, they will definitely participate in our project fairly and justly." Cameron looked at the secretary with sincerity.

A few seconds of silence.

"Xiao Ke, there is a specialization in the art industry, I am not a professional in software, I can't talk nonsense on this issue, but there is one thing I want to draw your attention to, the more professional the company, the more it will set up misunderstandings in professional knowledge, do not open information, and inflate prices to grab greater profits."

Cmeron's brain was racing.

"Whether it is a profit-hungry company or an individual, they will burn other people's houses to cook their own eggs!" The secretary spits out sonorous words and looks far away.

Cameron held back for a long time, and held back a sentence: "Secretary, what do you mean?" ”

"Don't be deceived by others, and don't lie to others!" The secretary waved his hand and signaled that Cameron could go out.

"Mr. Ke, am I sincere, the gold and stone are open."

In the bar, the female director of HP Greater Northwest Region danced happily and enthusiastically.

"You've been making plans lately, and you've worked hard, so let's have a drink and relax." Cmelon was indifferent.

"Okay, get drunk!"

A bottle of Ballantine's 18 years has quickly bottomed out.

Cmeron's eyes wandered around the bar.

"Mr. Ke, are you going to introduce a beautiful woman to me later?" The female director has insight into the world.

"This, it depends on whether she will show up." Cmelon was full of anticipation.

"Before that, there's something to tell you, IBM is coming in, I hope you are ready!"

The two were silent for a moment.

"A market without competitors exists only in the imagination!" The female director finished her glass of wine and captured the expression on Cameren's face.

"This competitor is very strong," said Cameron, who was surprised to see the woman in a black suspender gown with a remarkable posture appear on the other side of the bar, staring at him with deep and bright eyes.

"Mr. Ke, thank you very much for what you said to me today, I believe that with your understanding of our company's products and recognition of our company's services......"

The female director's words, Cameron did not listen to a word, and began to weave the reason for how to end.

"Mr. Ke." The female director accentuated her tone, interrupting Cameron's train of thought.

"It should be your beauty who is here, and it's time for me to say goodbye." The female director began to clean up the pieces.

"You have to take this project seriously." Cameron also began to clean up.

"Mr. Ke, the last word." The female director stopped her movements and looked up at Cameren, who had already stood up.

Cameron nodded his head to indicate that he was listening.

"This project, you must give it to me, I am a grateful person, and my gratitude method is 2.5% of the total contract amount."

The lights in the bar are flickering, and the joy is like life.

A week later.

"The 23rd Meeting of the Group Bidding Office and the Working Meeting of the Internet Project Conference"

Under the background banner, the leaders of various departments of the company's bidding office sat together and listened to Cmeron's report.

The content of the report, what is the technical framework, the advantages of the project, the various leaders think about what they want, and the people who read the documents read the documents, but they didn't listen to a word.

When the quotation was finally sorted out, the leaders became interested.

"IBM sincerity offer, 35 million."

"HP sincerity offer, 50 million."

Everyone is talking, what does the price difference of 15 million represent?

Whose prices are inflated? Who's making a bet?

The party secretary is also concerned about this issue.

So Cameron is doing a separate debriefing.

"IBM's price, in practice, is definitely a loss, their strategy this time is to take the bid at a low price, hide a lot of things not to do, and finally, rely on the later personnel maintenance workload to make up for this cost, little by little, look at five years later, this hole is filled with dissatisfied ......" Kemeren is full of anger, sincere eyes of the tongue lotus.

The party secretary looked at the several project analysis books stacked on the desk, frowned imperceptibly, took a sip of tea, and motioned for Cameron to rest for a while.

"Xiao Ke, no matter what you do, there is a cost, and this cost must be correct, and in all cases, someone needs to bear the consequences for the incorrect cost."

"Secretary, what you said is so right, I am conscientious day and night, do not dare to slack off, just to let the group use the most correct cost to complete this major event, so that all employees feel the advanced nature, forward-looking, representative ...... of the group"

"Xiao Ke, it's a big matter, before doing things, you must do a good job, without this premise, things can't be done at all!"

"Secretary, I ......"

"You can do the rest!" The party secretary put down the teacup and signaled that the conversation was over

Cameron returned to the office, made a phone call, and pleasantly said, "Everything is done according to the established policy!" ”

The door of the huge villa was deserted, and the ebb tide scene after the funeral was busy.

Luo Xiaoyi knocked on the door of the villa.

Xiao Zeya appeared in front of Luo Xiaoyi in black, with a beautiful appearance and floating flowers.

"Sorry to bother you at this time." Luo Xiaoyi said very sincerely.

"Come in and say." Ozawa shook her hair.

After the two of them sat down.

"Aunt Ozawaya, I'm ......"

"Call me Sister Kozawa."

"Sister Ozawa, please tell me anything about this book, thank you very much." Luo Xiaoyi took out "Nine Gates of Hell" from his schoolbag and handed it over.

Xiao Zeya took the book, and glanced at it with her eyes, "This is my husband's book?" ”

"Yes, until he sold it to one of my clients. It's my job to authenticate it. ”

"You say he sold the book?"

Luo Xiaoyi nodded.

"How is it possible, this is his treasure."

"He didn't consult you?"

"I don't know until now! Who did he sell to? ”

"My client."

"Who are your customers?"

"The one who paid me."

Xiao Zeya looked at Luo Xiaoyi angrily. I brushed my hair.

"Is there a transaction document for this sale?"

"Locked in a safe."

"You specialize in these kinds of books?"

"Yes, and the collection part."

Ozawa smiled with a smile.

"So you're a private detective in the book world?"

"There is no distinction between high and low labor!"

Xiao Zeya continued to look at Luo Xiaoyi with lingering charm.

Time was silent for more than ten seconds.

Luo Xiaoyi opened his mouth, "Do you remember, where did your husband buy this book?" ”

Ozawaya said an address.

Luo Xiaoyi wrote it on a notepad.

"Actually, can I ask what happened to your husband's death?"

"He lay in the bathtub and cut his own artery."

"What's going on?"

"His heart is not beating."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Do you think it will have something to do with this book? ”

"This book?"

"Has he tried?"

"What?"

"Did he ever do French with this book? It's like a conjuring spirit. ”

Xiao Zeya looked at Luo Xiaoyi like a god.

"My husband won't be as eccentric as you, let alone have deep well ice."

The mocking look on Ozawaya's face suddenly paused.

"Of course, he was really weird before he died, very weird."

"Weird?"

"Just lock yourself in your room, don't see anyone, don't eat or stuff."

Ozawaya's gaze was misty. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze.

"Whatever he's doing, I haven't heard him chanting incantations or trying to resurrect the dead."

"It's the devil, Sister Ozawa, this book can bring the devil back to life."

Luo Xiaoyi buckled the door of the villa and raised his legs to leave, but saw a big man with a fierce face coming towards him.

The big man looked at Luo Xiaoyi for a few seconds with a sense of anger, and Luo Xiaoyi saw that he didn't have anything to say. Leave first.

Inside the Northwest Library.

Luo Xiaoyi consulted a bunch of information in the hall, looked at it, and opened the "Nine Gates of Hell" again, only to see that the pattern on the title page was a snake surrounded by a big tree, with triangular eyes three-dimensional and plump, cold to the bone, and a line of small words below read, "The light is so dazzling!" ”

Luo Xiaoyi looked at this picture fixedly, and his heart turned a thousand times.

Suddenly, I felt a ray thrown on my back, and hurriedly turned around, only to see that on the second floor, there was a mysterious girl looking at herself condescendingly, under the denim skirt, a pair of socks of different colors caught people's eyes.

Luo Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, and then raised his eyes to see that the girl was gone.

In the bustling street market, a tall boy arrives at a nondescript storefront with a schoolbag on his back.

"I'm gone, where did you get this?" The bookseller in the suit wiped the "Nine Gates of Hell" in his hand, and his face was shocked.

"Shin Ishihara, I took over his business." Luo Xiaoyi replied.

"You played well, Ishihara Shin's business dares to take over, how can you say, he wants to sell this book?"

"He asked me to find the other two, to compare, to find the differences, and everyone to find the differences."

"Looking for a difference?" The bookseller in the suit rolled his eyes.

"He thinks there's only one book that's true."

"This book really can't be more real," the suit bookseller caressed the book lovingly.

"The other two, one at the east end of the city and the other at the west end of the city, I have to go far away. It takes time to prepare. ”

"I'm really a day, this book is worth millions, and I must keep it with great care!" The suit bookseller repeats the lines.

"That's what I'm here for, you help me hide it, I'm already being targeted!"

"Who?"

"If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, and the thief will tell you who he is?"

"No one can trust it now, not even Shin Ishihara himself, I just thought, should I believe you?" Luo Xiaoyi's eyes were like torches, looking directly at the bookseller in the suit.

The corners of the bookseller's mouth rose, and he smiled and said, "I usually don't betray you, except for giving me money, women and business, I'm not interested in anything else!" ”

The corners of Luo Xiaoyi's mouth rose, and he also smiled treacherously.

"I'll pick it up when I'm ready to go out!"

"Anytime, but the illustrations are horrible." The bookseller in the suit looked down and rummaged through the books.

"Or maybe it's creepy!" After Luo Xiaoyi finished speaking, he pushed the door and walked out of the room.

"Amazing. Amazing! The bookseller in the suit was left alone in the narrow study, muttering incessantly. The illustration he flipped through, which depicted a man hanging upside down from a tree,

Luo Xiaoyi walked halfway down the road, received a paging from Xiao Ze, paging back, and accepted her request to invite him to the villa to talk.

Xiao Zeya opened the door, a tight white dress, and the whole body was wrapped in a peach plum. The throbbing smell of apricot rain pear clouds is emitted.

Entering the villa, the lights inside were dim, and the candlelight was like nothing in the fragrance of the lush Feifei, and the temptation swayed.

The two of them sat down on a soft, sunken sofa.

"Say it!" Luo Xiaoyi got straight to the point.

"I told you yesterday that this book is my husband's baby."

"Yes, you did."

"I want it back."

"It's basically hard."

"That depends."

"What's the situation?"

"Look at you."

"I don't quite understand, this is not my book, I can't be the master."

Xiao Zeya stood up and put down her long hair, like mountain water, pouring down the long hair that fell softly and scattered on the snow-white neck of the soft branches and young leaves. In the flickering candlelight, the mist is a point full of sensual eyes.

Ozawaya's gaze radiated a provocative glow of blistering light.

The clear and delicate pink tongue did not move, and licked the red lips that were as thin as cicada wings.

stripped off the dress that shouldn't have appeared a long time ago from bottom to top, Peng Ze Hengqin's leaning charm.

This is a full-bodied, mature, delicate ** with a condensed reproductive scent.

After the group of flowers, the West Lake is good, the mess is red, the flying flakes are wet, and the weeping willows are dry and the sun is blowing.

Sheng song scattered the tourists, began to feel the spring sky, hung down the curtains, and the double swallows returned in the drizzle.

"Say, where is it?"

Xiao Zeya, who finished rummaging Luo Xiaoyi's schoolbag, asked.

"What's where?"

"Don't try to play with me."

"Isn't it, already?"

Xiao Zeya, who was like a hungry tiger pounced, pounced on Luo Xiaoyi and opened the bow and fan the cake left and right.

Luo Xiaoyi straightened up with a carp. Grabbing his clothes and putting them on as he ran, Ozawaya screamed heart-rending in the back and chased after him.

"Stop everything slow and too slow!" Luo Xiaoyi shook over Xiao Zeya who pounced on him and muttered a few words. Hurriedly put on his pants and ran away from the door.

Early the next morning.

A humble bookstore in the middle of the city.

Luo Xiaoyi pushed the door.

The gates are open.

Pushing the door in, the room was as silent as death, and the mountains of books were obedient.

A dead and transparent suit dealer hanging upside down on the beam of the house appeared in front of Luo Xiaoyi.

Luo Xiaoyi was silent for a while, walked past the upside-down suitmaker, and opened a secret compartment hidden in the bookshelf.

"The Nine Gates of Hell" lies quietly in the dark grid.

Luo Xiaoyi took the book and exited the bookstore. After walking a few streets, I called Shin Ishihara in a phone booth.

"Luo Xiaoyi handsome guy, what did you find?" Shin Ishihara's voice came.

"It's so much worse than I thought!"

"What do you mean?"

"This mission of yours is very deep, and I wonder if I should quit."

"Won't you be disappointed in yourself? You weren't like this before! ”

"It's a big difference this time, remember the bookseller in suits?"

"A very professional bookseller."

"He died and was killed because of your book."

"You listen, I never said it was easy, if it was because of money......"

"It's not about money."

"This matter is very important to me, and you can add a zero to the end of the money issue after the matter is done. Please get on the bus for the intercity bus passengers......"

There was a commotion on the other end of the earpiece.

"What? Where are you? Professor Shi? ”

The "doodoo......" call was hung up.

Luo Xiaoyi, who got off the intercity bus, walked through the street and came to a boiling downtown entrance, where an equally old bookstore was hidden.

Luo Xiaoyi pushed the door and entered.

A middle-aged man with a puffy complexion and a cold brow appeared in front of him.

"There's something I'd like to ask you?"

Luo Xiaoyi lowered his head and took out the ninth door from his schoolbag

"What a beautiful binding!" From behind Luo Xiaoyi, a middle-aged man who was exactly the same as the middle-aged man in front of him walked over.

"The rare book of the Nine Gates, extremely rare"

"Yes, yes"

"Otaku A's book collection!"

Two identical voices came and went.

"Yes, he bought it from you, and this book used to be yours, right?" Luo Xiaoyi asked.

"Yes, ours, we sold him." The two replied in unison.

"When the time comes, we won't be reluctant to sell." I don't know if it was the person who opened the mouth.

"We sold it for a good price."

Luo Xiaoyi had no choice but to stare at the two mouths of the two people.

"Great deal, perfect timing."

"It's perfect, are you the current book owner?" opened his mouth to ask Luo Xiaoyi.

"It's actually a book from one of my clients."

"I can't imagine that lady is willing to sell?"

"Who?"

"Otaku A's wife, Ozawaa!"

"Isn't the buyer otaku A?"

"He's a payout."

"It's Ozawaya who wants to buy it, and Otaku A is not interested at all!"

"Dirt buns!" The two mouths concluded in unison.

"Do you think this could have been a fake?" Luo Xiaoyi snorted at the book.

"Fake, I heard you right, North Hess?"

"You heard it right, Kitakuro Taka!"

"I thought you had a great background? You are so flippant that it is a fake? ”

"It's too rash!"

The two mouths close one and the other open, connecting seamlessly.

"Even if there is such a fake, it is very valuable!"

"At that time, the paper, the best ink, was not profitable."

"Can you still fake it now?" Luo Xiaoyi asked.

"Of course."

"As long as there is a good technology, yes, it can be made."

"Don't you think that's the problem?"

"What do you want to ask?"

"My client Shin Ishihara is very interested in the authenticity of this book!"

"He'll stop at nothing to satisfy his interest!"

Luo Xiaoyi strengthened his tone.

The two mouths continued to begin to connect seamlessly.

"Every book has its own destiny."

"They have their own destiny."

"Shin Ishihara is a well-known collector, and with his standards, he will definitely know the authenticity of this book."

"We all know that!"

"So he too"

Two mouths singing and harmonizing.

"We've had it for many years."

"Many years"

"We had plenty of time to study it in detail."

"Its printing, its binding, is absolutely the supreme example of Venetian technique of the seventeenth century."

"The best rag quality paper can resist the erosion of time, unlike modern wooden pulp."

I don't know who caresses and touches this book.

"Looking at these watermarks, inks, and fonts, they can't be said to be fakes."

"Even if it's a fake, it's a master's work!"

"Masterpiece!" "Have you studied the illustrations, they seem to have a hidden meaning." Luo Xiaoyi opened his mouth.

The two nodded approvingly.

"Of course, for example, this picture!"

The two of them spread out a picture.

A backpacker prepares to walk towards a pontoon bridge on which a bust with a bow and arrow floats in mid-air.

This may be a warning, which seems to say "danger ahead", but in fact "disaster falls from heaven"! ”

Luo Xiaoyi contemplated the meaning of the picture.

"There's always something confusing about these kinds of books."

"Especially with such a brilliant co-author."

"Co-author?" Luo Xiaoyi's eyebrows tightened.

"It seems that your research can't continue, you have to take a lot of detours, handsome little man!"

"Here, look closely!"

A classical magnifying glass appears in the hands of a clone.

Luo Xiaoyi's eyes followed the magnifying glass to the illustration.

"See? There are only six of the nine illustrations, signed by the author, Aristide. The name of Tuoach. ”

Luo Xiaoyi saw A.T's signature in the footer of the illustration through a magnifying glass.

"Sure enough, what about the other three?" Luo Xiaoyi asked without looking up.

"That's one of them." I don't know which clone's hand appeared under the magnifying glass, and I clicked on one of the footprints on the illustration.

Luo Xiaoyi enlarged the footprint and found that there was the word "LCF" in it.

"How do you interpret it?"

Luo Xiaoyi turned around and saw the two clones staring at him from afar.

"Use your brains"

Luo Xiaoyi was silent for a few seconds, staring directly at the two clones.

β€œLucifer?”

The two clones looked at each other, their faces beaming.

"You're smart, handsome little man."

"Tuoacchi was burned to ashes because he co-wrote the book."

"How is that possible?" Luo Xiaoyi's gaze was constricted, and he was full of light.

"Because the author made an alliance with Lucifer, he was burned to ashes."

"Even in hell there are heroes."

The faces of the two clones were distorted, and they couldn't help nodding and smiling at Luo Xiaoyi with a smile.

It's weird, it's weird.

Luo Xiaoyi took the book and walked out of the bookstore quickly.

At that time, when the dark night came, as soon as Luo Xiaoyi went out, he found that the entire street was Liu Mo of the flower street.

When the dark night comes, the small powder room and bathing center rise up with the colorful colors of the night moon and flowers.

Luo Xiaoyi walked briskly on the street, constantly meeting the oncoming people who were chasing and laughing.

Right now. Luo Xiaoyi remembered the aphorism "Disaster falls from the sky". A stirring spirit in his heart, looking up, an object fell from the sky in a daze, and between the electric light and flint, Luo Xiaoyi jumped back.

"Snap" the object smashed in front of him.

When you look closely, it's a condom, and fructose and protein are splattered from it, as well as some enzymes, inorganic salts, and organic salts.

"I'm gone, your baby is really miserable and the dream of death is left on the grassland!"

Luo Xiaoyi got on the intercity bus and went to the other side of the city.

In the car, I looked through the illustration of the disaster falling from the sky in "The Nine Gates of Hell", and found that the bust floating in the air on the illustration was the clone.

The cramped carriage, Luo Xiaoyi was uncomfortable, he closed the book, stood up and stretched, and looked around aimlessly, but he met the mysterious gaze of the girl wearing the wrong socks, and Luo Xiaoyi saw that the girl's eyes were faint, full of deep meaning.

At this moment, the intercity bus arrived.

Luo Xiaoyi walked towards the girl in the wrong socks, "I saw you there!" ”

"Really?"

"I'm sure!"

A charming smile spread across the corners of the girl's mouth.

and Luo Xiaoyi got off the bus one after the other.

On the platform, there was a surging crowd.

"Are you a student?" Luo Xiaoyi asked.

"So to speak!"

"What's your name?"

"Guess what!"

"Girl with the wrong socks?"

"That's a good name, what about you?"

"Luo Xiaoyi"

"Strange name."

"There has to be a name!"

"You look very Sven, you don't look like a shouting and killing person!"

"What is lacking in the essence of people, I hope to make up for it through names and the like!"

The girl god stared at Luo Xiaoyi with a wink.

The two were silent for a moment.

"Say hello to Shin Ishihara for me and tell him I'll do my best!" Luo Xiaoyi waved goodbye.

"Goodbye!"

"Will you?"

"Quite possibly!" (To be continued.) )
