When Lin Chi stepped into the entrance of the bookstore, the welcome robot standing behind the counter kept shaking his head and making a very magnetic male voice:

"Welcome this gentleman to the Humble House, please pick the books you need~"

Lin Chi walked into the bookstore quickly, passed by a calligraphy with eight big characters written "Poetic and Picturesque, Sword and Courage and Qin Heart", and came directly to the back of the wooden bookshelf that blocked the view, and while picking up a book casually, he glanced sideways at the person standing behind the bookshelf.

A woman with long shawl hair, sorting through a few old books on the shelves, with a gentle smile on her side face, wears a blue dress with flat sneakers revealing under the hem and a smooth white calf.

Although she is dressed very casually, and she doesn't seem to have makeup on her face, this woman just stands there, as if she is synonymous with "lady", and her gestures are dignified and elegant, and she is completely worthy of the words "everyone is beautiful" in terms of temperament.

"Hmmm......"

She raised her hand to wipe the beads of sweat from her forehead, then turned to look at the customers who had just arrived at the bookstore, bowed politely slightly, took a step back, and asked:

"Guest, do you have any books you want? Just tell me the title and I can find that book for you. ”

Even though Lin Chi's game character is very similar to the real person, she looks like she doesn't know Lin Chi. Seeing the performance of the female owner of the bookstore, Lin Chi also had a trace of doubt in his heart:

Did you recognize the wrong person?

Because I don't know if the other party is acting, or if I really don't recognize myself. Lin Chi did not choose to explain his intention directly, but directly entered the role of a customer in the bookstore, and asked the female boss with a smile:

"I want a copy of Proust's Reminiscences."

"Good taste." The landlady laughed approvingly: "Do you want the original version or the translated version?" The translation of this book is of a very average level, and if you can read French, I highly recommend reading the original version. ”

"It's good to get a set of the original, and I'll tell you the truth, I've finished reading this work, and I just want to buy it for my family collection." Lin Chi explained.

"Oh, okay, is there anything else you need?" The landlady asked.

Looking at the other party's innocent and harmless appearance, Lin Chi focused his gaze on the woman's neck, she didn't seem to be wearing the equipment needed for the brain imaging game. There are also no abnormal sun marks left by the interface on the neck.

- It seems that this woman is probably the kind of person who doesn't have much contact with brain imaging equipment, let alone games, and maybe hasn't even been to a place like "Domain" a few times. But if that's the case......

"What's wrong with you, guest?" The boss noticed Lin Chi's strange appearance and asked with concern: "Are you in a daze, are you feeling unwell?" ”

"It's okay, thank you for your concern." Lin Chi smiled, and without blinking his eyes, he looked at the "ladies of all the show" standing opposite him.

Noticing the gaze of the guest, the boss also looked at Lin Chi, but the staggered gaze of the two did not spark or anything like that, but with curiosity and confusion, it fell on each other's faces.

"Do you have anything to do with me?" The woman broke the brief silence.

"Do you usually play intrabrain imaging games?" Lin Chi asked bluntly, and then added: "I'm sorry to ask about this kind of fact, if you don't want to answer, it's okay not to say it." ”

Although it may seem a little rude to inquire into other people's private lives, for him who rarely "communicates" in the real world, polite words and the like are too troublesome.

"Ah, I'd love to experience an in-brain imaging game." Speaking of this, the woman's delicate eyebrows rose slightly, and a melancholy expression appeared: "It's a pity that my physical state doesn't allow it, so I haven't played until now." ”

Seeing Lin Chi's surprised expression, the woman laughed lightly, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and stood in front of Lin Chi: "Don't you trust me?" Check this out. ”

Under Lin Chi's gaze, a projection of an electronic medical record appeared above the mobile phone screen, words and pictures floating in the air, showing Lin Chi the reason why she couldn't play the game:

Name: Miao Zhang.

Gender: Female.

Age: 22.

Symptoms: myocardial damage, valvular insufficiency and some complications.

In order to prevent accidents, it is strictly forbidden to use large VR equipment, brain imaging game booths and other equipment that may bring strong stimulation.

"This is ......" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and looked at the text on the electronic medical record.

"Yes, I can't take part in the kind of entertainment you said." The woman named "Zhang Miao" nodded gently: "With my body, I can't do that kind of thing." ”

- Is this medical record real?

As if hearing his heart, Frankenstein coldly answered the question: "The coding used in medical records is the type used by medical institutions, and the probability of fraud is less than one in a thousand." ”

Maybe the medical records were provided by the Authority?

As soon as this idea appeared, it was directly denied by Lin Chi himself: after all, just for a gamer, there is no need to go to great lengths to falsify medical records.

But if the woman is not a bloody blade, a new problem arises:

"If you don't play brain imaging games, why would the Game Authority staff find you?"

"Ah, you heard the conversation." Zhang Miao frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry, that kid is my old classmate, I saw him when I passed by here, so I couldn't help but eavesdrop." Lin Chi nodded.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Miao still had a smile on her face, she put away her phone and asked, "Mr. Zhou is a staff member of the Game Authority?" I thought he was from the hospital. ”

"Does the hospital monitor the patient's movements?" Lin Chi looked at her with some surprise: "Is that kid Zhou Tianhao committing illegal acts?" You can report him. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Miao shook his head, reached out to pat off the dust on the cover of an old book, put the book back on the shelf, and patiently explained: "You are mistaken, I am being monitored not because of this disease, but for some other reason......"

Seeing that she seemed to be a little unspeakable, Lin Chi hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't mean to ask." ”

"It's okay, it's nice to talk to you like this." Zhang Miao's voice was still soft, without any intention of complaining at all, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the two wooden chairs in the study room, and said seriously:

"The reason why I run this bookstore is also because I have a good conversation with customers. But it's been a long time since anyone has spoken to me, except for Mr. Zhou...... If you want to know about me, why don't you sit down and talk to me? ”

"Gladly." Lin Chi said.
