"Something?" Ah Jue and the drill just raised their eyebrows, not showing much interest.

"Don't say it's for us to help you investigate some strange supernatural events, watch too many ghost movies," Ah Jue walked in front of me with an exaggerated square step.

"Even if you run into something unclean and avoid them, we're just giving the trio for nothing" The drill punched me and pushed my glasses.

Seeing that they didn't believe it, I hurriedly explained to them further: "Ah Jue, do you remember that bookmark that appeared inexplicably? ”

"Is there anything wrong with bookmarks? The shape is really different from a normal bookmark."

"I also have the same bookmark as yours, and you won't believe it if I suddenly tell you, and I didn't believe that the bookmark could have the effect of entering another dimension at first, but I really saw it" I recalled the different space I saw before, my consciousness was always awake, and there was no deviation such as hallucination, but the bookmark appeared out of thin air, and I didn't know how to let it appear and bring us to another dimension together.

"It's really strange to say, I can't remember how the bookmark got into my hand, and it disappeared after a while, and I thought it fell to the ground and didn't fit it into any crack, and I couldn't find it for a long time, I thought I was dreaming."

"So if I can get the bookmarks out again, you... Can you trust me? ”

Ah Jue patted me on the shoulder, "Xiaobai, what are you panicking about?" We all know you're not the kind of person who talks big and doesn't like to joke, but suddenly talking to us about this kind of thing is beyond our knowledge."

"Hey, hey, huh?" I was a little embarrassed for a moment.

"It's so silly" The drill took the opportunity to punch me again.

"You kid has to inch in, you have to punch me, you dare to punch me, the tiger is not powerful, really I am a sick cat?" I'm going to hit him.

What should I do, if I go on any further, I'm about to fork in the road with them, how can I get the bookmark out? I really don't want to bother me with all those troubles.

What's the name of the bookmark? "Alfalfa" told me, wouldn't I forget such an important thing? It's impossible, it's impossible, think about it.

I used all the recent storage in my brain to recall the conversation with "Alfalfa", as if it was a bookmark called Luo.

“··· LA Bookmark"

In the pitch-black world, countless crystals floating in mid-air were faintly seen, and they gathered together to emit the brightest light in the dark space.

The dark world, the crystals floating in the air, the bookmark... A flash of light crossed my mind, and I finally filled in the missing word.

"Twilight Bookmark"

At the same time as I came up with these four words, my head suddenly began to spin, and I stumbled twice and almost fell, but fortunately the two of them helped me in time.

"What's wrong with you? Hey, wake up! ”

Their voices became muffled, and I couldn't see their faces clearly, and I only saw a myriad of tiny dots of light emerging in front of my eyes, which slowly gathered together, and when the dots of light disappeared, bookmarks emerged.

The surrounding vehicles and people continue to drive their way as if they didn't see it, no! They didn't move at all, there was a temporary pause the moment the bookmark appeared!

How so? Do bookmarks also have a role in controlling time?

But it doesn't matter, and soon they will be able to see the world in the book.

Purple curly runes appeared on the skin of the bookmark, and a black line extended upwards along the rune, and when the black line extended to the end of the rune, the point of light in the center of the bookmark expanded, enveloping the entire bookmark, and I lost consciousness with the stationary ones.

When I opened my eyes, I was truly transported to a different dimension—the world of the book that I had created. This time it appeared on a stone arch bridge, and down to the pedestrian street, the street lights were already on.

Our luck is bad, and the night is a lot more dangerous than the day.

"Where is this? My head hurts" The drill bit woke up, covering the back of his head, probably unfortunately, his head hit the ground first.

"Where's Ah Jue?" I walked off the bridge and looked for Ajue, and the drill went in the opposite direction.

"Help!"

"Ah Jue, where are you? I can't see you, huh? The drill could hear Ah Jue's shouting, but he couldn't find anyone, and the sound came faintly from the position next to the bridge.

"A few more steps! I can't hold on anymore! ”

"Wait, I'll be here right away, you hold on!" The drill continued to run a few steps forward, and when he looked at the bridge by the light of the street lamp, Ah Jue was actually hanging on the crash railing.

I also heard Ah Jue's shouts and rushed over, and dragged Ah Jue up with the drill.

"It's terrible! If it weren't for my clothes hanging on the railing, I would have fallen into the river! What the hell is this place! Ah Jue was panting, and sweat droplets the size of beans continued to appear on his forehead, running down his cheeks.

"Originally, this pedestrian street and the stone arch bridge in front of it were built on the river, but your luck was too bad."

"It's too bad, it's terrible!" Ah Jue was still unrelenting, pressing my shoulders and shaking violently.

"Where are we? I remember it wasn't dark when school ended. "The drill bit panicked, carefully observing the surrounding situation." Is there this place in the city of Baisatin? ”

I saw that the opportunity had come, "Now you should trust me, the world in the bookmark"

A bookmark appeared in front of my eyes.

I took it off and shook it, "That's it, 'Twilight Bookmark'"

The drill bit and Ah Jue looked at each other awkwardly, and after a few seconds of slowing down, Ah Jue suddenly shouted loudly: "How can we go back!" ”

"It is necessary to write this down," said the drill, taking out a small notepad and a pen from his pocket, and writing with a brush.

"Why are you so off-focused? So now you believe it! ”

"It still feels like a dream," Ah Jue said and squeezed his arm, "It hurts!" It seems that I am not dreaming"

The three of us were in a circle, unconcerned about the situation on the pedestrian street. But suddenly, a blinding light flashed behind us, and the sound of fast-moving wheels rushed towards us at a great speed.

"Get out of the way!" Ah Jue quickly pushed us to the side of the road, and he ran after him, and the speeding car almost hit him, but fortunately all three of us were fine.

"What kind of person, don't die, I don't want to live and have to pull a cushion?" Ah Jue tiptoed and pointed at the vehicle that ran away and scolded, scolding and scolding when he saw the five words "Wenhe Pedestrian Street" clearly written on the archway, so he was even more angry, and his tone was even higher.

"It's obviously a pedestrian street, what kind of excitement is your private car doing here! Is this street owned by your family? "Ah Jue wanted to catch up with the car and beat the driver violently, I and the drill one blocked him and the other dragged him in the opposite direction, who knows how much this guy is following the rules, especially when he sees people who don't follow the rules, he will rush up and scold like crazy, this kind of persistence is even called "drill" He Jinyan has to bow down.

What we didn't expect was that the vehicle that attacked us was also an "old stubborn", turned around on the wider road in front and turned back, drove full throttle and straight onto the stone arch bridge in our direction.

But we're already at the door of the store, is this guy planning to destroy someone else's store?

"Don't hang on, let's go!" I beckoned them to run into the store, and in one fell swoop, they ran to the innermost part of the store.

"Now... Should... It's all right," I collapsed leaning on the handrail of the staircase, and the two of them sat on the ground panting.

"Boom!" The drill pounded the floor. "One thing suddenly came to mind, how did we get in?"

"This store didn't lock the door at all, we just came in" Ah Jue thought about what he said, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine, twisted his neck mechanically, and barely squeezed a slit out of the corner of his mouth. "Why doesn't this store lock its doors at night?"

The empty store echoed with Ah Jue's cry of "miserable".

"Can you stop screaming like a girl? At least we got rid of the neurotic driver," I tried my best to suppress my panic, and a layer of cold sweat was already forming in my palms.

"Knock knock" There was the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the wooden staircase, and the sound gradually approached us.

It's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's definitely not a good thing in this situation! I forced myself to turn my head, and Drill and Ah Jue turned their heads to look at the man in a daze, but there was no light at the top of the staircase. In the darkness, it was impossible to see the faces of the people who came.

"Come with me, quick!" One hand grabbed my arm and pulled it up.

I didn't know why I was dragged by this person and ran away, and I wanted to let go of his hand several times halfway, but his strength was too great, so I had to follow him upstairs, and the drill and Ah Jue also followed when they saw this, and Ah Jue also took the teapot on the glass round table to prepare for the accident.

The man pulled me to the second floor and into the room closest to the staircase, followed by Drill and Satoru, but as soon as I was about to enter, the man blocked the door.

"Wait a minute, those two people outside the door are my friends..."

The man put his hand on the doorknob and turned his back away from me.

"Who knows if it's true? In case it's in the same league as '癸'"

"I wonder if you're just like the driver outside!" I tugged at his arm to turn the doorknob.

The man was silent for a few seconds before compromising, "Don't blame me for the trouble then," and opened the door.

What's going on with this person? How do you think it's all coming directly at me? Also mentioned the person "癸", is it the same person as the driver who attacked us outside?

"If we don't open the door again, we're going to break down the door violently! Who's that guy next to you? Catch you and run," Ah Jue saw that he was about to stick to the man's face.

"I was about to ask who he was. I didn't even see his face when I walked in."

The man sighed, took off his beret, and brushed his loose hair.

"I'm the owner of this teahouse, Ren Wei"

"Are you waiting here for us to come? Why was your store open when we were attacked? ”

"Yes, and I know you, although I don't know your name"

"You know me but don't know my name?" Paradoxically, I looked at the suspicious woman from head to toe, dressed in a black silk dress and black stockings, white high heels shiny, a blue knot tied in the shape of a "×" on her chest, thick chestnut curls, and a beret with a black grid intertwined with a gray background.

No matter how I look at it, it looks familiar, and the more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes, and my eyes involuntarily roll from side to side, trying to remember whether there is this person in my memory.

Yes, I once asked a classmate who had studied art to help me draw a character, and she was one of them.

"I see, you're one of my characters, aren't you?" I swore I looked into her eyes, and I didn't have a wrong impression of her, her clothes, hair, and hat were my colors.

"It seems that you are the master of this world, but I don't know your name, can you tell me?"

She didn't explain why she opened the store early and waited for us, but instead changed the subject.

"I can tell you my name, but you have to tell me why you opened the store early and waited for us, and what do you know about the person 'Gui'?"

"You shouldn't know this"

I heard this sentence again, and "Alfalfa" also told me how many secrets are hidden around the "Twilight Bookmark", and why do those in the know choose to hide the truth from me?

"If you chose to help me, why did you hide it from me? We're not enemies, are we? I pressed her shoulder, a little impatient.

"Xiaobai, you're out of shape~" Ah Jue lowered his voice and shouted to me.

"If you're prepared enough to take on it all," she bowed her head.

"Of course I have!" I almost yelled.

"I saw a sneaky person stealing a car and wandering around Wenhe Pedestrian Street in Brother Pu's space, your ability to teleport to him, right? If Brother Pu is in danger, go and help him, that person's code name is '癸'"

"Who are you? Why can you enter his space without using a bookmark? What is your relationship with him? Why should I help you? ”

"We're friends, and you don't want to see the man who created you in danger, do you?"

“··· I don't know what '癸' looks like yet."

"I'll show you," he said, touching her forehead with his fingertips, and blue dots of light converged on her fingertips, and the points of light entered her forehead through their fingertips.

"I see, are you still refusing to reveal your identity?"

"Yes, no comment"

"I can only tell you that he doesn't belong to Pu Ge's space"

"I and 'Gui' both belong to the world of the book, of course we will know a little bit about what he has done, I have had a little trouble with him, and my ability can track him, so I am going to lead him to my store tonight, and then you will see that you have been attacked by him"

She still kept her head down, her hands clutching the corners of her skirt.

I hurriedly let go of the hand that was pressing her shoulder and bent down to apologize. "I'm sorry, it's all because I'm too impulsive!"

"It's okay," her voice trembled slightly. "Can you tell your name?"

"My name is Pu Shaohan, it's nice to meet you" A layer of cold sweat oozed from the palm of one of her hands, just looking at her eyes made me feel a sense of disobedience, obviously a character created by myself, but I felt like a stranger when I really met her, from the time she pulled me upstairs to confess my identity to each other, I felt like I didn't wake up in a daze during the whole process, as if everything I had experienced so far was a dream with a real feeling.

"Cough" Ah Jue coughed deliberately and cleared his throat, "I said..." Before Ah Jue finished speaking, Ren Wei and I glanced at each other, and the hand we were holding quickly retracted like an electric shock, and we also distanced ourselves from each other.

"Ahem" Ah Jue coughed again, probably feeling that we had misunderstood something, which made him feel very embarrassed, and he became stammering when he spoke.

"I didn't mean that, I just wanted to remind you that this room is too dark..." As he spoke, Ah Jue was still holding his hand against the wall and fumbling for the light switch around.

Fortunately, I didn't turn on the light, I touched my hot face, how could it make Ah Jue think that meaning, no, why did I understand that meaning? Even if I have that EQ, the age gap is too big, the key is that my EQ has always been negative, and my brain is always entangled in strange places.

Ren Mo just took this opportunity to change the topic, so he was very happy to help Ah Jue and them find the switch, what about me? Wouldn't it be shameless if I turned on the lights so they could see me? While they were looking for a switch, I went downstairs to let it out, just to see if the "decay" was nearby.

"Found it, this is the switch in the corridor on the second floor" Ren Wei's hand just touched the surface of the switch and didn't press it, so the drill bit stopped it.

"Wait, don't turn on the lights just yet" The drill bit looked in the direction of Ah Jue, who was observing the situation outside in front of the windowsill.

"Look, the car is back!" Ah Jue motioned for us to hide behind the curtains and quietly observe the vehicles outside the window. "It was common to pass by a car occasionally, but after the frenzied driver tossed and saw the same car, I panicked, I don't know if it was the driver, I just saw the headlights in the direction of the archway, and now it's back" Ah Jue kept his voice to a minimum, and his eyes kept staring at the vehicles outside.

"It's all red cars, the model looks similar, but when he attacked us, the speed was too fast, I didn't see the license plate number, this car is too, the distance is too far to see the license plate clearly" The face of the drill is almost pasted to the window, Ah Jue saw this and quickly pressed the head of the drill bit, wanting him to squat down.

Ren Mo didn't observe the situation outside with them, she noticed that there was one person missing, and remembered that the door of the store was not closed and went downstairs.

By this time I had locked the door and was about to go upstairs, when I looked up to see that someone was coming down from the second floor.

"Miss Ren? Is that you? ”

Ren approached me and motioned for me to keep my voice down. I was confused, and just about to ask her what had happened, she pulled me aside again and hid behind the screen.

"What's wrong?" I asked in a whisper.

"Your friend saw the vehicle suspected of attacking you, I saw that the vehicle was near my store, and I remembered that the door was not closed before going downstairs"

"What? He hasn't planned to leave yet? Thinking of the deadly momentum of the car rushing towards us, my heart "chuckled", "We can't stay in your store any longer, I'm afraid this guy will get you in trouble because of us"

"Trouble?" She shrugged, looking unconcerned. "I've been watching him for a while, and it's still fine if he and I really get to a draw."

"Would you mind sharing any information about him?"

"If you share it with you, you will also be in trouble, and if you don't share it, you will be even more trouble, who made me a good old man? I'll tell you," she grinned, out of step with the freezing environment around her, and her mentality was quite good compared to me who was huddled up, and she bragged a little about herself.

Isn't this person a talker? Why do I want to create such a person, or is my psychological quality so poor that I feel inexplicably impatient about the things around me.

I pursed my lips and urged her to speak, and she took a step to the right, crouched down, and was at the same level as me cowering at the corner of the screen and the wall, and whispered in my ear, "I did do have a hand with him, just after you first entered this space."

"How did I not know?"

"You're gone by then, and my ability is that the person I've injured with ice will leave a mark on the monitor, so that it can be tracked."

"This is the monitor," she spread out her hand, and the center of her palm slowly formed ice crystals, which spiraled around each other, forming a diamond-shaped crystal.

"Look at the red lines on this" If you look closely, there are many intertwined lines on the surface of the crystal, and there is a red dot moving back and forth on a line. She pointed to the red dot and zoomed in on the area for me to see.

"This is where the attackers are located"

I saw the moving dot and felt less flustered, and I exhaled softly to ease my emotions. "I should have thought a long time ago that your sex and his name, 'Ren' and '癸', represent the attribute of 'cold' in the twelve heavenly stems, and your abilities should be similar."

"No, you're thinking too simply" The light in her eyes vanished, and it was as black as a pool of stagnant water. The surrounding air also began to cool down substantially, and gusts of cold wind caused the antique hexagonal palace lamp hanging on the wall to sway back and forth, and the candle flame in the lampshade was almost extinguished. A thin layer of ice had formed on the screen and floor, and the ice was still spreading around.

"He can transform into anyone, but his abilities cannot change with the person."

"You mean..." I thought, "There was a man who attacked me in this world, using an ice pick."

"You keep the bookmarks on his behalf before he knows it, and in exchange, I can give you some special abilities"

"If you remember, things are going to get troublesome, so I'm sorry"
