Volume 2 Mahjong Chapter 48 There are poems and books in the belly
"Nothing has changed outside, huh? Anyway, the last reminder is a bit vague, I'll look into it later, but let's take a look at this mysterious horror bookstore first. After some thought, I put the code, including the miscellaneous items I had just emptied, back into my black backpack and put it back on my back.
With my black backpack on my back, I looked back at the horror bookstore.
The horror bookstore was so dark that I couldn't see anything at all.
"There should be electric lights in the store, and the light button is usually near the store's door." Taking advantage of the darkness, I fumbled around the sides of the door for a while, and finally found a few white buttons on the left side of the door.
Bang Bang Bang! Three rings.
The blood-red light instantly filled the entire horror bookstore.
Through the blood-red light in front of me, I opened my eyes and looked carefully.
It was a strange and modern bookstore.
Why is it both spooky and modern?
Because on the far left side of the horror bookstore, there is a miniature bar, and on the inside of this miniature bar, there is a large antique wooden cabinet.
I don't know if it's because of the light, this antique wooden cabinet is blood-red all over, as if it was watered by blood.
I approached the bar and took a look, and it was more of a wine cabinet than an antique wooden cabinet, which was filled with all kinds of wine bottles.
The bottles are untouched and filled with delicious wine.
There are many varieties of liquor, not only the famous brandy, whiskey, vodka, champagne, gin and rum, but also the well-known domestic Moutai, Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao, Fenjiu, Dong Liquor and Gujing Gongjiu.
All in all, there are countless wines on the antique wine cabinet, not only those listed above, but also some of the lesser-known wines.
Next to the miniature bar, there are several benches of just the right height for customers to drink and chat at the bar.
On both sides of these benches, there is a multi-functional speaker, and the suona sound that has been lingering in the ears is coming from the speaker.
These two multi-functional speakers, all black, noble and elegant, know that they are worth a lot of money at a glance.
"Such an expensive multi-functional speaker, the horror bookstore actually uses it to play suona sound, it's really lacking in morality, do you want to scare people to death?" Muttering to myself, I crouched down and turned off the two multi-function speakers.
As the two speakers were turned off, the suona sound in my ears finally stopped, and I was relieved while patting my chest, and the long-tense muscles in my body were able to rest.
After turning off the speakers, I crossed the bench and came to the right edge of the bar, only to see a milk tea counter appear in front of me.
This milk tea counter is next to the bar, and its surface is painted with red and blue stripes, which is very bright and eye-catching.
On the refreshing milk tea operating table, there is a fully automatic sealing machine, and next to the automatic sealing machine, there is a concave iron plate groove.
The iron plate trough was filled with dirty butter, which somewhat ruined the bright milk tea counter.
"This iron plate trough is supposed to be used to fry things." Glancing at the iron plate trough, I looked to the inside of the milk tea counter.
I didn't hope it was okay, but I was startled, and on the inside of the milk tea console, there was a flat paper figure standing!
The paper figure was covered with heavy makeup, and seemed to be smiling between its eyebrows, and its limbs were tied up from withered yellow paper, and it stood crookedly on the inside of the operating table.
I looked at the paper figure, its pencil gray eyes, staring at me as well.
"Will it suddenly tell me to order? It's really infiltrating. "Looking at this paper man, there are countless ants scratching in my heart.
At this strange moment, a sudden gust of wind swept by and crashed into the paper man.
Crash! Crash! Two sounds sounded, and the paper figure immediately fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, I breathed a few breaths as if I had been amnestied: "It turned out to be just an ordinary paper man, and it scared me to death." ”
"It's not good to put anything, but put a paper man in the store, it's really a veritable horror bookstore." After calming down a little, I continued to look at the inside of the milk tea counter.
On the inside of the milk tea counter, that is, next to the paper figure, stand three very common machines.
One of them is a stand-up refrigerator that stores a variety of iced beverages, while the other two are water heaters and ice makers.
After observing the inside of the milk tea console, I looked up at the sky above the console.
Above the milk tea console, there are several LED advertising displays.
On these LED advertising displays, a menu price list is written, which is convenient for guests to order.
However, at this moment, these LED advertising displays are gloomy and obviously not lit.
Under the advertising display, that is, outside the milk tea counter, there are several small and delicate tables and chairs for guests to dine with peace of mind.
This is a miniature bubble tea shop.
Looking at the miniature bar and miniature bubble tea shop in front of me, I suddenly realized that the horror bookstore is a comprehensive multi-functional bookstore.
In the horror bookstore, you can not only read and buy books, but also drink and chat, and order a few delicious cups of milk tea drinks.
Not only that, but when you're hungry from reading, you can also eat a few pieces of delicious and crispy chicken cutlets.
"I always dreamed of opening a bookstore like this, but I didn't expect it to come true." Nowadays, many bookstores have a single function that is too boring and gives people a stereotype, so I have always wanted to open a comprehensive bookstore.
Because general bookstores are very attractive to the general public, they can enjoy high-quality food service while absorbing knowledge, which is simply people's favorite.
But how many readers are willing to patronize horror-themed bookstores? This question is debatable.
Because in the horror bookstore, except for the bar and the bubble tea shop, the rest of the places are dressed up extremely weird, and if a timid person comes in to read a book, it is estimated that they will be scared.
To the right of the miniature bar and miniature bubble tea shop, in the center of the horror bookstore, there is a small cash register.
This cash register is not a modern self-service cash register, but a wooden high platform of ancient times.
This wooden platform is wrapped in a yellow cloth, much like the exorcism platform of a ghost exorcist in a horror movie.
On the left and right sides of the wooden platform, two white banners taller than a person stand.
Filled with a couplet on the white banner cloth:
Evil spirits are born to be useful
A thousand ghosts are scattered and come back
This couplet is adapted from Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine, You Don't See", the original poem was full of heroic and confident atmosphere, but after being adapted into a couplet in front of me, it was actually filled with an eerie and vicious meaning, and there was a momentum that a thousand ghosts were used by me.
"The couplet in front of me is well adapted, but I don't know who the author is." I sighed in shock.
The couplet was made of bright red pen and ink, a myriad of reds in white, and the bright red pen and ink had not yet dried, and they slipped under the hem of the white flags and continued to drip to the ground, causing a terrifying sound of blood to drip in the bookstore.
Listening to the terrifying sound of blood dripping, I slowly approached the wooden platform.
On the yellow cloth of the wooden platform, there are small items that help the cashier.
Among these small items, there is an abacus that is all black, and there is also a blood-red ledger for a week.
The ledger was being opened, and a brush was placed on it.
The barrel of the brush is pale all over, as if pressed with a human face, and there are a few strands of blood-red hairs under the barrel.
Not far from the brush, there was a tall inkstone, and I craned my neck to glance into it.
I saw that the inkstone was filled with blood-red ink, I don't know if it was human blood or red ink caused by the new process.
I sniffed with a stir of my nose, and a faint smell of blood came to my face.
"The ink is blood, but I'm not sure if it's human blood." Smelling blood, I clenched my nose and slowly retreated.
"There is no modern cash register here, so do you want me to use an abacus to settle accounts? It's really troublesome, and besides, I can't count with an abacus, alas. With a helpless sigh, I changed my gaze and looked to the right of the Horror Bookstore.
To the left of the horror bookstore is a juxtaposition of bars and bubble tea shops, with a wooden platform wrapped in yellow cloth in the center, and rows of bookshelves on the right.
The rows of bookshelves were made of mahogany, and they seemed to be red all over, a kind of deep red, already a little purple and black.
The mahogany bookshelves stand upright on the ground, like a pair of blood-red coffins standing upside down, like bookshelves containing not books, but cold corpses.
I wandered along, afraid that a corpse would fall from the shelves.
Thankfully, I didn't get my way, and there were no cold corpses on the shelves.
If that happens, I'm afraid I'll go into shock right away, right?
I checked several rows of bookshelves and found that there were not only books, but also some netherworld items such as ingots, candles, paper people, and paper money.
"Is this a bookstore, or a grocery store in the underworld, why is there everything? Bad luck. I spat my lips and looked around the horror bookstore.
On the four walls of the horror bookstore, not only are there eerie paintings, but also two frightening proverbs are printed:
There are poems and books in the belly
Reading thousands of books can lead to ghosts
"Through you paralyzing ghosts, I don't read to see ghosts, I have the ability to write new ones myself, and I adapt other people's poems,!"
I cursed and took a closer look at the murals.
I counted them carefully, and there were 44 paintings on all four walls.
Among the 43 paintings, painted in a sloppy manner, are nothing more than a human face wearing a towering black hat, but these faces are not drawn with eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and it is not clear who it is.
There is only one painting, which is very clear, and this painting depicts the back of a woman.
The woman was wrapped in a purple gauze skirt with a sleek back, and a pair of white and delicate legs were embellished under the skirt.
There are a few purple butterflies dancing around her back, looking very dreamy.
"Isn't this the honorary manager of the horror bookstore? It seems to be called a purple maple vine. "The picture of the woman's back on the wall is exactly the same as the illustration on the first page of the code, so I recognized her at a glance.
"Her back painting appears here, but it's normal, after all, she's the honorary manager of the horror bookstore."
Looking at this only normal painting, I couldn't help but sigh again: "It's so beautiful, the purple butterflies are entangled, the light yarn is wrapped in dreams, the sunset is beautiful, the rain is slanting and the rain stops, the butterflies fly and the butterflies dance and the butterflies wither, who doesn't know this purple shadow." ”
In this state, I recited the poem again, and when I was done, I suddenly woke up: "Hey, why am I reading this poem again?" It's weird. ”
I was stunned and withdrew my gaze from the mural, and said with some fear: "This woman's back picture is not simple, it wants to psychedelize me, and I will not look at this painting in the future." ”
"Not only this painting, but the other 43 murals are very weird, and if you have the chance, you should cover them up, otherwise you will definitely scare the guests to death."
