Chapter 345: Temptation or Test?

Han Li sat on the sofa.

She was nervous, her heart pounding.

Because she knew that here, everything worked according to the owner's wishes.

This is something that has been proven to be true.

So......

Han Li was inevitably nervous and nervous.

Da Da Da ......

Footsteps, from far to near.

Han Li turned his head slightly and looked behind him, the sound of footsteps coming from the deep and terrifying silent abyss.

With the sound of footsteps, there are ripples like layers of ripples, rippling in this bookstore.

It seemed to feel her turn back.

In the deep, empty, black hole-like abyss, those evil pupils looked over one after another.

Unsympathetic......

Crazy, weird......

It was just the moment of contact, although Han Li had been on guard for a long time, he still inevitably trembled and feared.

On the forehead, it was even more cold sweat.

Fortunately, Hanli is protected.

The whisper in her ear quickly rang out.

The babbling dispelled the fear and calmed the trembling.

Let her heart be at peace.

At this time, the figure of the bookstore owner also stepped out of the darkness and silence and nothingness.

The light shone on Him.

Countless illusory shadows were then projected onto the floor.

These shadows are blurred, distorted, and dimmed.

And in a flash!

Han Li immediately turned his head back, because the voice of the person had already heard in his ears: "Guest, you have been waiting for a long time......"

He walked to his side, and there seemed to be something more in his hand.

He looked at Xiao Ai, who had been beside Han Li and was nervous.

"Little Friend......" In Xiao Ai's perspective, the head is shrouded in mist, or a head composed of mist, but the lower body is a human existence, stretching out a big white hand, holding a book with a crystal color in it.

"It's a gift for you!"

"Hope you like it!"

The fire in His eye sockets was like a torch in the astral plane.

Xiao Ai looked at it, and there was only one feeling - fear!

"Thank you......" Xiao Ai stumbled and was nervous: "Thank you......"

"You're welcome!" He handed the book in his hand to Xiao Ai: "Little princess, you will definitely like it!" ”

Xiao Ai touched the book in his hand.

It's very thin, I don't know what material it's made of.

It's cold and comfortable to the touch.

On the cover, there are green leaves decorating.

These green leaves slowly unfurled, and words appeared.

The Book of Eskodale.

Xiao Ai's eyes were stunned.

Esko Dale?

A dusty memory floated from her soul.

"Dad......" Xiao Ai called the name in her heart.

She finally remembered.

She's the princess of the Star King's Court!

The daughter of the Queen of the Stars and her husband Eskodel!

If there are no accidents, she will be the future queen of the Piercing Heavens.

But......

Her father fell into the abyss and was deceived by the Demon Mother into signing a pact of blasphemy against the gods.

The angels of the entire Star King Court generation fell into the abyss because of this and became hostages of the Demon Mother.

Touching the book......

Xiao Ai felt that in this book, everything her father wrote down before he died.

It may even be hidden the secret that will free the Assassin Celestial Clan from the curse!

She took a deep breath and grabbed the book in her hand.

……………………………………

Ling Ping'an looked at the little girl and grabbed the comic book very seriously.

He laughed.

That's it, little girl.

It turns out that the lethality of the flower fairy to all little girls is devastating.

So, he turned around and looked at the girl who was still a little reserved, with the other two books in his hand.

"Guest......" Ling Ping'an smiled and introduced: "I think this book should be of great help to your career......

He handed over the copy of "The Complete Guide to Cosplay".

Well, with this book, Ling Ping'an believes that this guest, as long as he studies carefully, should be able to participate in various role-playing competitions.

Maybe he can become a famous actor in the future!

In this day and age, it's still relatively easy to be popular.

Especially this guest's foundation is really good!

Judging by the outside world, a perfect score may not be enough.

But there are still more than 90 points.

Han Li took the book that was handed over.

On the cover, there is layer after layer, endless, with no end in sight, like a deep well, but also like a whirlpool of terrible world.

It was her long-awaited "Upper Abyss Investigation Report".

As soon as he touched the cover, the whisper in Han Li's ear changed.

From low to depressed.

In the babbling voice, Han Li seemed to see the trajectory of the entire abyss world.

I also seem to understand something.

Abyss......

The essence of the bottomless abyss is hidden in this book.

As long as you understand it, then it will no longer be difficult to defeat the abyss.

However, the master of the mist, the flowing fire in his eyes, became surging at this moment.

In the rising flames, it was as if the voice of truth was echoing.

And he handed over another book.

"Guest...... This book is a book that I have selected for you according to your situation......" His voice echoed throughout the bookstore: "I hope it can help you!" ”

Han Li lowered his head and looked at the book that was handed over.

On the cover of the book, there is only one symbol.

Yellow symbol.

Under this symbol, there is a figure, slowly walking into the distance.

He was dressed in yellow and wore a crown.

Undoubtedly, He is the Lord of the Deep Sky Star Sea.

The moment I saw Him, the yellow symbol instantly broke down into words.

The name of the book also appeared.

"The Deep Space Ceremony of the King in Yellow".

Needless to say, it's an upgraded version of Deathwalker's Spiritual Ritual.

It is the secret method that the King of Yellow has bestowed upon his family and his followers.

Through it, you can continue to temper your spirit and will.

Strengthens the Spirit's resistance to anomalous energy and spirituality.

Even......

With the help of the great and immortal King in Yellow, in turn, he can carry out spiritual invasion and erosion of the enemy, and even manipulate it!

Holding these two books, Han Li knew that the purpose of his trip had been exceeded!

This made her grateful.

"Thank you!" She bowed deeply, and it was not because worship was not allowed here, and she was even willing to bow down to this generous and great Lord.

"You're welcome!" Ling Ping'an looked at it and laughed.

…………………………………………

It's already twelve o'clock.

But Song Shihui was still in the monitoring center, looking at the pictures on the surveillance.

There was no movement.

Everything was quiet.

The whole alley is very quiet.

It was as if everything had stood still.

Suddenly......

Song Shihui stood up, and he enlarged one of the screens.

Under the camera lens at this angle, the picture seems to change a little.

In the shadows, there seems to be a thick fog in front of the bookstore.

The thick fog that both the Governor and Situ He had spoken.

It's just that this thick fog is just a flash in the picture.

"The owner of the bookstore...... After passing on the message to me......" After he repeatedly looked at Fang Cai's picture several times, Song Shihui closed his eyes and said slowly.

"He already knows me......"

That's for sure!

He is too powerful to imagine.

According to Situ He's vague description, he is almost in the legendary supreme position of 'omniscient and omnipotent'.

The research report of the think tank also speculated that he was at least 'omniscient'.

Therefore, Song Shihui understood that when he arrived in Jiangcheng, even before he left, perhaps he already knew that he was coming to Jiangcheng.

In other words, he must have known that he was studying and observing him through surveillance at this moment?

So......

Did He do it on purpose?

Deliberately let the fog flash through the surveillance.

"It's really a tsundere character!" Song Shihui said.

Like Situ He, Song Shihui had already read all the documents of Taizu, Taizong, and Gaozong.

Including the living records of these three generations of emperors.

Therefore, he has understood that his current behavior is actually the same as the three arrogant emperors back then.

He gently lifted a corner of his mystery.

Through this move, to test yourself?

Or maybe it's tempting yourself?

Song Shihui thought about it, thinking.

He understood that this was the exam, the exam that the old god had assigned to him.

As for the reason?

A careful look at the daily life records of the Taizu and Taizong eras can find the answer.

The emperors who were in power and high up had new court officials take office.

They will observe the person.

"Is he the talent I want?"

"Is his faithfulness trustworthy?"

"Can he understand my intentions?"

When the emperors had this mind, they would put it to the test, testing their loyalty and ability.

Only those who pass the trials and tests have a chance to really reach them.

Now, that ancient god doesn't need to test any loyalty.

Judging from the description of the think tank, he probably didn't care whether humans were loyal to him or not.

He cares only about one thing—whether he can understand and read His intentions.

Like the Governor, he read His intentions.

In the black-clothed guard, he quietly created a good environment for the koi.

So there is a big reward!

is also like Situ He......

He was here for more than a month, and he was very comfortable.

So, he also helped Situ He and eradicated the secret hand left by the Duke of Hell in Jiangcheng.

And that's not all!

He even provided a path for Stuart He!

So......

"He made me see the fog...... So what was His intention? Song Shihui began to guess.

"Invite me to come and meet?"

"Still telling me...... Keeping His Rules? ”

It's really a hard question to guess.

If you guess wrong, the consequences are extremely serious.

Thinking of this, Song Shihui opened his eyes, he picked up a tablet next to him, opened a reading software on the screen, and continued to look.

He knew that he needed to find answers from these historical sources.

No way!

The black-clothed guard had never dealt with such a strong, powerful, but law-abiding ancient god.

Little is known about Him.

Therefore, we can only look for examples of similar existence from ancient historical materials for reference.

The emperor who is in power and only respects himself has become the first choice.

In most cases, it is really possible to infer the intentions of the other party through some common characteristics of the two.

……………………………………

Ling Ping'an watched the figures of the two guests disappear into the thick fog.

He looked back at the bag on the counter.

So, rubbing his hands.

"That guest, what a nice man!" He praised.

Every time he comes, this guest will always surprise him!

This time, it brought him a lot of good things!

He opened the bag and first took out the bag of golden tea leaves.

He weighed it, maybe one or two?

After whistling, Ling Ping couldn't wait to twist a few leaves from it, put it in a cup, and make himself a cup.

A steaming teacup is immediately fragrant.

Ling Ping'an tried to take a sip, and his mouth was full of fragrance.

His mind was instantly cleared up a lot!

"Good tea! Good tea! Ling Ping'an praised: "This tea is even better than the last time!" ”

"It's definitely her family's boutique!"

Putting down the teacup, Ling Ping'an looked at his kitten with blank eyes.

He smiled hesitantly and shared half of it with the little gluttonous cat.

The little guy immediately couldn't wait, and pulled the cup and drank it.

Ling Ping'an poked his head into the bag.

A few snow-white peaches......

His saliva drooled when he watched!

But after thinking about it, he still didn't want to eat.

"I've got to save some ...... for my aunt with such delicious peaches," he said.

As for if it is collected for a long time, it may be broken?

That's not a cause for concern!

The refrigerator of Lingping'an has a very powerful preservation function!

It's exactly as advertised!

Generally, fruits, put in the fresh-keeping cabinet, keep them well, at least a month will not be bad!

He looked at the mushrooms again......

Tears are about to flow from the lips.

However, the two codonopsis and fungus were ignored by him because they had not been eaten.

He lifted the bag, and then, sitting down at the counter, drank his tea.

"That guest, it's really too polite......"

"Next time, if she comes back, I'll have to prepare a gift for her!"

After all, books are not worth much!

Just like today, the sum of the three books is two hundred yuan!

But the gifts sent by people, I'm afraid that the tea alone is more than this price.

And Ling Ping never likes to owe favors!

Because he prides himself on being a gentleman.

The gentleman talks about fairness and believes in reciprocity.

As Confucius said: repay virtue with virtue!

"Doesn't she love cosplay?" Ling Ping'an thought, "How about I prepare a set of cosplay props for her?" ”

He recalled the guest's outfit and said, "She should like the kind of female chivalrous or fairy in the anime......"

The other party has always been a tight-fitting black outfit with a short blade.

I think I have a dream of martial arts or a dream of fairy.

Well!

It's such a happy decision!

Ling Ping'an took out his mobile phone, clicked on the shopping website, and began to choose.

So, the dazzling array of goods suddenly made him dazzled!

……………………………………

Han Li took Xiao Ai's hand and walked towards the edge of the mist.

As soon as you step out, you will appear in the uninhabited streets and alleys under the starry sky.

She gently clutched the two books in her hand.

"Let's find a place to practice for a few ......days first," Han Li said to Xiao Ai.

"Hmm......" Xiao Ai nodded.

She also needed to find a quiet place to learn about her father's last days before he died.
