The group followed Li upstairs, and the old-fashioned wooden staircase creaked with everyone's footsteps.

Lu Ming looked at the words on the wall thoughtfully.

It's an interesting shop, and even in the midst of all the shops on the black market, it has a unique décor. Behind the door is a space that is barely large enough for two people at once, and then there is a staircase that leads directly to the second floor, and there is not a trace of frills or guidance, only a message on the wall, which seems to remind and warn its customers.

After thinking about it, I came in again, and I didn't look back when I opened my bow.

But it was such a shop that did not welcome customers, but it aroused Lu Ming's great interest. Everyone wants to keep their own secrets while snooping on other people's secrets, which is almost hidden in their nature. Secret news and gossip, which attracts people almost like sunshine, air and water, are both precious treasures and invincible abysses, and even to some extent, secrets promote the progress of mankind.

Imagine that the more you know, the more you know, like holding the world in the palm of your hand?

Lu Ming's breathing was a little short, and he even suspected that this shop had a special ability to see through all the secrets of everyone, he clenched his fists uneasily and released them, his palms were full of sweat.

At the end of the staircase, there is a square area of the same size as the downstairs, except that there is no door, but a piece of blue cloth hanging from the roof, with no pattern on it, only scribbled with the words "Welcome to the left", the color and font are the same as the sign outside, it seems that it is the work of the same person, and it may be the owner of the shop.

Looking at the scribbled font, Lu Ming suddenly laughed, this word is exactly the same as Xiao Mo in the space, it is simply taught by a teacher, this teacher actually has more than one student, it is a miracle.

Lifting the green cloth at the door, Lu Ming's first reaction was that "turn left" was pure nonsense, because there was a wall on the right side of the door. This is a very large square hall, except for the wall to the right of the door, the walls in the other three directions are placed with bookshelves that reach up to the ceiling, and each wall is equipped with a ladder for taking books. At this moment, the three cyan ladders are moving in their respective areas, and the materials on the bookshelves automatically fly out and return to their places with the movement of the ladders, as if there are three invisible workers who are working hard at this moment and are not willing to delay for a moment.

In the middle of the room is a huge square table in the shape of "mouth", that is, four tables are put together to form a whole, and in the middle is an empty area for people to work, so that the whole room forms a "back" shaped pattern. At this moment, the tables and the floor in all four directions were piled with piles of books, materials, letters, ink and wool pens, and a creature that looked like a cat looked up at them, turned its head impatiently, and continued to sleep with its ass at them.

At first, Lu Ming thought that this cat, like Professor Li, was the result of human transformation magic, but as soon as he leaned in, he found a problem, not to mention the cat's orange fur and fat body, even this purring sound was very unpleasant. But he soon discovered that the purr was not from the orange cat, but from a delicate-looking woman lying in the middle of the table. She was wearing a white loose top and blue shorts, with her white slender legs crossed, and she was falling asleep on the only chair in the room, snoring with her mouth open, which could be said to be a very poor sleep.

Li walked over, gently knocked on the table with the knuckle of his middle finger, and saw that one person and one cat did not react, so he slammed the table a few times with his fist, startling the people next to him. In my impression, except for the time when I shot at them, Li has always treated everything lightly like a master, and it was the first time I had seen such a fierce action.

But what they didn't expect was that the only result of knocking on the table was that the orange cat got up, glanced at everyone impatiently, turned around and jumped off the table to continue sleeping, and the woman in the middle did not react. He even rolled over and swallowed a little saliva, as if something delicious was waiting for him in his dream.

I don't know if it's my own delusion, Lu Ming heard a slight sigh.

In the next second, Lu Ming knew that he had heard correctly. Li picked up the thickest book on the table, the book "The Origin and Decline of Magic: An Analysis of Magic in the World for Three Thousand Years", and smashed it directly into the moving ladder. And there really seemed to be an invisible worker on the ladder, who was caught off guard, and the whole ladder with half a bookshelf of books smashed down, completely flooding the area in the middle of the room, and there was no more annoying snoring.

"Uh...... We...... Do you want...... It is...... Rescue it?" Xiao Million asked Li uneasily, "I'm an okay priest, if I fish them out now, I might still be saved, right?"

"No, they're going to crawl out on their own, and if they can't get out, it's not a big deal, the union will send new staff over, and this is just a temporary worker. Li said flatly, as if trying hard not to let people hear the schadenfreude in his tone.

The rest of the people looked at each other, after all, it was so obvious that they almost laughed out loud.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the heavy pile of books moved, and after a while, a hand holding an orange cat stretched out from the pile of books, and threw the cat in his hand into the distance - that is, Lin Peng's face, the heavy inertia made him fall straight to the ground like a funny character in some works, and the wooden villain who was originally sitting on his shoulder naturally did not run, and was almost crushed by the weight of the orange cat.

What's even worse is that the confused orange cat was full of curiosity when he saw the wooden villain, and after pulling it twice, it obviously became his new toy, and he got up and ran all over the house at a speed that did not match his body size, chasing the wooden villain who had just recovered his mind, and for a while, the whole room was a flying figure.

Lu Ming can finally determine that this is an ordinary orange cat.

In the pile of books, the hand that threw out the orange cat pulled twice, stretched out the other hand, and then forcefully propped herself out of the pile of books, or screamed out, because when she came out, she felt the air tremble with her. She sat cross-legged on the hill-like material and yawned, stretched her waist fiercely, and her slightly bent back body instantly showed a very amazing curve, and then propped her head on her right hand, looking at everyone with interest.

Lu Ming felt his face flush for a moment, and it seemed to be a little hot; Lin Peng turned around embarrassedly, not daring to look at her again; Luna wanted to be very calm, but finally couldn't help but glare at Lu Ming several times.

Only Xiao Million was very outrageous, the thumb and middle finger of his right hand snapped his fingers beautifully, and a delicate lark appeared in the air out of thin air, flapping its wings and flying towards the woman, circling around the top of her head several times, and then landed on the woman's palm, gently pecked her palm, and a delicate red rose instantly bloomed from her palm.

From a distance, everyone seemed to smell the scent of roses.

Lu Ming couldn't blush, and was about to fall off in surprise, brother, this doesn't fit your personality, aren't you a priest, where did you learn this? I usually haven't seen you cast other spells except for healing? Now that there is a situation, you are faster than anyone else? This shows your talent, instead of climbing the tower, I just entered the door, and you are already sitting on the spire, right?

The woman looked at the rose in her palm, her expression was surprised, and then she gave Xiao Million a bright smile, casually put the flower on the pile of books, and snapped her fingers, the ladder was erected, and the books all over the ground flew back to the vacant position on the bookshelf one by one.

"Although there are acquaintances present, but I still have to introduce myself to the newcomer, my name is Hongzhu, I am the person in charge of the mercenary association in the local area, and I am also the only part-time clerk in the intelligence house, the boss is sleeping, do you want to buy and sell information, or do you want to hand over the task?" The woman's smile remained unchanged, and she introduced the business familiarly, but her eyes kept staring at the direction of Li, and her eyes were full of smiles.

"Excuse me, who is an acquaintance?" said Luna, the only one who was awake at the scene, and asked cautiously when she heard the surprise.

"Ah? didn't he tell you? It's not surprising that the famous insect master used to be my boyfriend, although it has been a long time since they broke up, but he was very handsome before he put on the mask. Hongzhu seemed to be tired, and changed his hand to support his head, looking at Luna with a smile and explaining.

There was no calm person at the scene.

Lu Ming and Luna moved their gaze back and forth between the two of them, as if trying to find some clues; Xiao Million quickly recovered as a priest's gentleman, coughed lightly, and recalled his lark; Lin Peng glanced back at Hongzhu and turned back again.

"First of all, I'm not your boyfriend, second, I brought them here to register as a mercenary, and finally, where did Leona go, she should be on duty today. Lily reverted to her flat tone.

But in fact, it was meaningless, and no one on the scene believed him.

"First of all, in your ranking, I am the first, and you usually give priority to tasks;Secondly, registering as a mercenary is a very troublesome thing, in the spirit of being responsible for the work, it will take us about a week to get it done; finally, Leona is sleeping, she has been sleeping lately, maybe she is lazy, you calculated that she was on duty before coming?" Hongzhu sat in the pile of books that became a little shorter to answer questions, but as the height of the pile of books decreased, the temperament of the whole person also underwent some subtle changes.

Lu Ming noticed some details. When he heard the news that Leona was always sleeping, Li's body moved slightly, as if he wanted to ask something, but before he could ask a question, everyone's eyes in the room instantly focused on Lu Ming alone, and Zhu Hong sat up straight in an instant, looking at Lu Ming in disbelief.

Of course, it's not to blame them for overreacting, the movement is indeed a bit big. A strange signal that was visible to the naked eye came out of the magic book in Lu Ming's pocket, transmitted to Lu Ming's mind, and then quickly spread to the entire room, and it seemed to be felt when it passed through the body, but most of the books on the three walls fell with a bang.

Xiao Mo, who hadn't shown up for a long time, sent a signal of contact, and the content was very simple:

If there's something, come quickly.
