Section 18 : The Book of Life (8)

"Welcome to the Hometown Library!"

Gu Li said so, he beckoned to Ning Siyi, motioning for her to come to his side, Ning Si tried his best to calm down the little heart that kept fluttering, and ran to his side to stand still, his eyes wandering around, but he didn't dare to look at Gu Li's face, no way, although she was not Yan Kong, but in the face of Gu Li's scourge face, she was afraid that she would not be able to resist it, and her nose would bleed.

The corners of Gu Li's lips rose even more, and his deep eyes shone brightly, obviously quite happy.

He said to Ning Siyi: "I'm going to perform a ceremony later, you ・・・・・・"

Ning Siyi thought that Gu Li was going to make her dumb again, so she nodded hurriedly: "I definitely won't make a sound this time." When she crossed, she fell weightlessly as if she had been roaring and screaming for a long time, and she was really embarrassed when she thought about it.

Gu Li shook his head: "I'm asking you not to stay too far away from me." ”

"・・・・・・Oh, okay." Ning Siyi nodded obediently, she was ready to be a qualified melon eater.

After arranging Ning Siyi's position, Gu Li finally set his eyes on Qi Yu's body: "Mr. Qi, welcome to your hometown bookstore again!" The weather is just right tonight, so it's perfect for entertaining guests! ”

Qi Yu's thin body trembled even more happily, and he finally knew what kind of devil he had provoked! Not to mention the book of life, he can't even save his life. Qi Yu was so frightened that tears flew into tears, dragging his limp body to crawl under Gu Li's feet, he was wrong, he was very wrong: "Boss Gu, I don't want the book, I beg you to let me go, I really know that I am wrong, I will immediately go and bring back the book of life to you, your lord has spared me a lot." ”

"It's too late to beg for mercy now." Gu Li raised his hand, swiped lightly in the air, and a violent wind rose from the ground, rolling up the petals on the treetops to form a blue whirlwind, rolling up the Qi Yu on the ground with a thunderous momentum, and then threw the person to the trunk of the tree with a snap. At the same time, the new branches that grew on the trunk of the tree quickly tied his hands, feet and neck, and then the branches spread to his body and tightened continuously, and after a while, he would be tied into a cocoon, only the head and hands were still exposed, Qi Yu's face was gray and gray, his eyes were almost white, and his hands, feet and feet were constantly twitching, looking like he was about to return to the West.

"Gu Li, what are you going to do?" He shouldn't be trying to kill Qi Yu, right? Ning Siyi was a little worried, of course she didn't have such a kind heart to worry about Qi Yu, she was purely worried about her own boss.

"Don't worry, I won't kill anyone, I don't have that power." Gu Li was pleased by Ning Si's worried little eyes, he reached out and touched her head, "I just want to get back the Book of Life and collect some interest." ”

With Gu Li's assurance, she quietly returned to being a melon eater, as long as Gu Li didn't kill anyone, it would be fine for her. As for what Qi Yu would be tossed into, she didn't care at all, she wasn't the Holy Mother White Lotus, so she didn't care about a murderer.

What kind of book is the book of life?

"The Book of Life, as the name suggests, is a book that records the past, present, and future destiny of people, so it is also called the Book of Life. The book gives a detailed description of the owner's life, in great detail, and extremely accurately, and getting it is equivalent to completely controlling his own future, and even having the ability to change his original destiny! This was the answer that Ning Siyi got when he asked Gu Li later.

Of course, the Book of Life is definitely not a feudal superstitious book that fools people, according to her understanding at the time, the Book of Life should be a magical book with prophetic powers, otherwise how could Qi Yu go to great lengths to get it?

In fact, her understanding of the terrifying power of the Book of Life and the meaning behind it is far from enough, so she scoffs at Qi Yu's desperate behavior, even if she doesn't know what her future is, life can still go on, Qi Yu himself has enough things, Wanguan family wealth, reputation and status, as well as his career and family, she really doesn't understand why he is not satisfied, and would rather give up everything at the cost of killing people to become another, is Chen Donglai's future so attractive?

It wasn't until in the near future, when she experienced more and more things, and had a better understanding of the origin and meaning of the Book of Life, that she realized how naïve and naïve she was.

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being!

Back to Qi Yu, who was wrapped in a cocoon, he was only tied to the tree for a few minutes, at this moment he was in high spirits in the afternoon, the biggest arrogance of Lao Tzu in the sky and the earth was completely like two people, the skin that was originally well maintained was like a broken balloon and quickly dried up, as if the vitality in the body was all withdrawn, and the whole person was like a withered tree, on the other hand, the branches tied to his body were vibrant, from only branches to green leaves and then full of blue buds, this process was only a few minutes, Ning Si was creepy.

This tree is really refined, and it actually sucks the vitality of living people as nutrients!

"Save ...... Save me! Qi Yu used the only strength left in his body to call for help to Gu Li, however, everything was in vain.

Gu Li walked in front of the cocoon, looked up at Qi Yu, and a strange smile rose at the corner of his lips: "It seems that the tree spirit is very happy, it hasn't eaten for a long time, it's rare to meet Mr. Qi, if there is any rudeness, I hope you don't mind, after all, this is the liquidated damages you should pay!" ”

It turns out that the liquidated damages that Gu Li said are to let the tree spirit absorb the life nutrients of the defaulter? this

"I ...... Wrong, please...... Let...... I ......" Qi Yu's voice became smaller and quieter, and in the end, even he couldn't hear what he was saying.

"I'm sorry! I can't let you go until the liquidated damages are paid, otherwise I will violate the rules of the library, I will be very embarrassed, please forgive me, Mr. Qi! ”

The torment continued, the branches on Qi Yu's body were getting thicker and thicker, and the buds were growing one by one, and they were about to bloom enthusiastically in the next moment, Gu Li looked at the changes in the flower buds, and smiled with satisfaction, like a demon in hell inspecting his collection.

"It's time!" Gu Li muttered softly.

Said that it was too late, and the small flower bags on the branches were trembling and blooming slightly, the process lasted no more than a minute, Qi Yu's body was full of bewitching blue flowers, and his expression became more and more distorted, his eyes were wide open, and his eyeballs bulged out, as if he was experiencing some extremely painful torture, but he couldn't make any sound when he opened the boss's mouth, and he could only hear the sound of the wind blowing at the scene, which was eerily quiet.

Ning Si shuddered involuntarily, and an unprecedented fear rose in his heart for Gu Li's strange methods.

Who is Gu Li・・・・・・?

What exactly does the Hometown Bookstore do?

She began to have a feeling of dazed fear for the future, could she really survive in this strange world・・・・・・

The flowers bloom vigorously, and they will face death after they bloom to the extreme, this is the law of nature, the life of the blue flower is very short, and in a few breaths, it will go from splendid to defeat, Qi Yu's expression is relieved from pain, and gradually calms down, but Ning Siyi feels that his vitality has gradually disappeared with the fall of the flower, and now Qi Yu is like a walking corpse with only one shell left.

Soon the branches let go of Qi Yu's body, and he fell from the trunk of the tree to the ground like a rag, and the petals that rose floated up and fell, covering Qi Yu's body, like a deserted tomb in the night.

Gu Li ignored Qi Yu, who had fainted to death, his focus was still on the trunk, after the flowers fell, the extra branches disappeared into the trunk again, but a blue cocoon-like "fruit" the size of a football was left in the place where Qi Yu was tied. Gu Li stood directly underneath the fruit, stretched out his hand and gently touched the bottom of the fruit, and easily picked it.

Ning Siyi looked at the blue "fruit" in Gu Li's hand curiously and asked, "What is this?" ”

"This is the crystallization of Qi Yu's fate."

"Destiny?" Ning Siyi didn't know why.

"You can simply understand it as Qi Yu and Chen Donglai's fate."

Ning Siyi seems to understand it, it turns out that the book of fate can still be taken back in this way, so isn't Qi Yu's painstaking plan a joke?

"So what's next?" The book of life has also been returned, and the interest has been collected, what should Qi Yu do with Qi Yu who is paralyzed on the ground?

"Naturally, Mr. Qi was sent back to his original place intact." Gu Li lightly took out his pocket watch.

The original place? Isn't that a funeral home? Ning Siyi looked up at the starry sky, at this time, the staff on duty at the funeral home were all off work, and mourned for poor Qi Yu for a few seconds, and then watched the entire transmission process with interest.

After Qi Yu disappeared, or returned to the real world, the two returned to the library and had a brief dinner. The two sat face to face under the wisteria trellis in the courtyard, Gu Li put the cocoon in his hand on the table, adjusted his sitting posture, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and was leisurely, he looked at Ning Siyi opposite and said, "What do you want to know, you can start asking now, I will try my best to answer your questions." “

Of course, Ning Siyi was full of questions, such as what the Book of Life was, what was the essence tree in the courtyard, and the ins and outs of the incident about Qi Yu, etc., but compared to these, she was more eager to know about Gu Li and the Hometown Library.

Because that's the heart of everything!

"Who the hell are you ・・・・・・?"
