"Then can you go home and show it to me?" I gave the cheongsam woman an offer.

Only by knowing the identity of my missing husband can I further investigate what happened.

"But I have other things to do, and it's a waste of time to go back and forth." The cheongsam woman said with a tangled face.

It's really not good to trouble others, so I had to frown: "That's it, I'll take the time to go to your house later, is your home in 301, Building D, Jinxiu Building?" ”

"Yes, why don't I leave you a number, call me when you arrive, and I'll open the door for you personally." The cheongsam woman suddenly took out her mobile phone with some enthusiasm.

After exchanging phone numbers with the cheongsam woman, I continued to comfort the cheongsam woman: "Then you go back now, don't worry too much, don't worry, don't worry, I will do my best to help where I can." ”

Hearing my promise, the cheongsam woman couldn't keep pestering me, she slowly got up from her chair and walked out of the horror bookstore.

Somehow, looking at the back of the cheongsam woman gradually disappearing, I always felt that something was wrong.

"This woman's back seems a little relieved?" I muttered, and motioned for Li Fansen to return to his post and continue his bartending work.

And I, who was carrying a black backpack, entered the staff lounge with the book "Sichuan Mahjong Daquan".

That's right, maybe it was forgotten for a while, but the cheongsam woman didn't take away this "Sichuan Mahjong Daquan".

Now that I look at it seriously, in fact, this "Sichuan Mahjong Daquan" is very shabby, and there are many knife marks on its shabby cover.

Immediately afterward, I struggled to retrace my memories and try to find in my mind the scene where the book was sold.

But I tried for a long time, but I couldn't find a trace of memories: "There were very few people who came to buy books last month, only a dozen or so, so it stands to reason that I should remember who bought the book." ”

"Could it be that this book was sold by Li Fansen?" Since the first opening of the store, I have occasionally delivered the bookstore to Li Fansen, and I don't sit in the bookstore every day, so it is very likely that Li Fansen sold the book, otherwise I would not have found a little memory.

I immediately picked up the book and walked out of the staff lounge and asked Li Fansen.

But Li Fansen's answer was that he had never seen the book, let alone sold it to anyone.

When I returned to the staff lounge, I wondered, "The square seal on the back of the book cover doesn't look like a fake, so there's no doubt that this book should be from a horror bookstore." ”

I don't know why, every book that enters the horror bookstore is weirdly engraved with a square stamp.

This square seal is blood-red all over, and the words "Horror Bookstore" are depicted on it.

Square seals are difficult to fake, and no one is so boring to counterfeit, after all, this is just an ordinary label, but it is used to indicate the provenance of the book.

"When that husband got the book, he not only talked to the book, but also went out late at night? It's weird. "I touched the square seal on the reverse side of the book cover and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

But I didn't think long before I was awakened by a burning sensation.

This burning sensation comes from the back, from the black backpack, and it is the code that has reacted!

This familiar scene reminds me of the scene before the Snake Man Recording mission appeared.

"Could it be that the probationary mission has finally been updated?" I quickly opened the black backpack and looked inside.

I saw a raging fire in the pitch-black bag.

As the flames flickered, an eerie laugh rang out in the staff lounge.

桀、桀、桀桀、

"Sure enough, the code spontaneously combusted!" I quickly turned the black backpack upside down and poured everything on the bed.

Among the scattered items, there is a book surrounded by firelight, which stands out.

Although the book is surrounded by fire, the light on it does not seem to be dangerous, as it does not burn anything else, but only wraps the book.

The book wrapped in the flames is the famous "Horror Bookstore Management Code".

Perhaps noticing my gaze, the rules in the firelight suddenly turned the pages automatically.

However, after only a few seconds, the automatic page turning of the code came to an abrupt halt and stopped at a certain page.

I lowered my head and looked at the page, which happened to be the table of contents page for the Code.

"Trial period tasks: add 1, please go to the corresponding page to view, after completing three trial period tasks, this option will be deleted to other options, the current trial period completion amount is 1/3 (complete the trial period tasks, you can get points and other rewards) (corresponding pages: 6-9)"

As soon as I read the line, the spark on the code disappeared in an instant, and I immediately picked up the code and flipped to page 6.

On page 6, a few lines of small, blood-colored print appear.

"Mission Brief (Probationary Mission): Why did my husband suddenly disappear on the eve of the divorce? Did the strange deeds that preceded the disappearance really exist? Talking to books, going out late at night, all kinds of signs that your husband is out of control, please find out the real reason for your husband's disappearance. ”

"Mission requirements (probationary mission): If you want to know the mysteries of the supernatural, you must have extraordinary courage, please bring the "Sichuan Mahjong Daquan" to the Southwest Campus Jinxiu Building before twelve o'clock tonight, and survive in the Jinxiu Building until dawn."

"Quest Prompt: Have you ever squandered a pen in the middle of the night? Haunted by dreams, have you ever thought about the essence of books? If you don't put in the effort, you don't deserve to be the author of the book, let alone see the legendary ghost. ”

"Quest Completion Reward (Probationary Mission): Psychic Horn, Basic Five Elements (Broken), Resentful Corpse Skin (Choose one of the three, no more than one choice)"

"Punishment for mission failure: Erase the life of Liang Fan, the tenth bookstore administrator of the horror bookstore, and re-select the tenth horror bookstore administrator."

At the end of these lines of blood-colored letters, as always, a square seal is imprinted, indicating that this is indeed a mission issued by the Horror Bookstore.

"The new probationary task has really been updated, and it's related to this "Sichuan Mahjong Daquan", and I don't know if it's good or bad." I looked at these few lines of blood-colored words again and again, and was silent.

"Forget it, I can't avoid it as a blessing or a curse, so let's be prepared." With a slight sigh, I closed the code and put it back in my black backpack.

Fortunately, my current strength is not weak, not only do I have the puppets of the foreign objects Li Yingyang and Shining, but I also have the Yin Pupil opened, which should increase the chance of survival in this trial mission.

"This probationary mission requires me to bring the "Sichuan Mahjong Daquan" and survive until dawn in the Splendid Building, which means that there is a huge danger hidden in the Splendid Building, and I must be careful." While secretly telling myself, I threw the "Sichuan Mahjong Daquan" into my bag.

Immediately after, I checked out the black backpack.

When I found a shining doll and other useful items lying quietly in my bag, I couldn't help but smile with relief.

The Shining puppet has a total of three precognitions, and even if I use it once in the Horror Trial, I still have two chances left, which is the biggest help I have in my hands.

"It's a pity that the blue ghost didn't listen to my call and refused to show up, otherwise I would have more chips in my hand." I shook my head and sighed, and began to speculate about the hidden message of the mission.

"Literally, the missing husband is likely to stay in the Splendid Building, otherwise the code would not have set the mission location in the Splendid Building."

"If her husband really stayed in Jinxiu Building, it would be impossible for that cheongsam woman not to find her husband, what is going on?"

"Could it be that the cheongsam woman is lying to me?"

After some speculation, I came to an astonishing discovery: "Even if the cheongsam woman didn't lie to me, she hid a lot of things from me." ”

"What is she hiding from me? Is her husband's disappearance directly related to her? With many doubts in mind, I pushed open the door to the staff lounge and returned to the horror bookstore.

I looked at the skeletal clock on the wall and saw that it was only two o'clock in the afternoon.

"The task requires me to arrive at the Splendid Building before twelve o'clock in the evening, but don't worry, first find out where this Splendid Building is sacred."

After making my decision, I grabbed my phone and searched for details of Fairview Building on my browser.

Such a casual look really made me find some useful information.

Located in the southwestern suburbs, this splendid building was originally an abandoned building that was used to house some stray dogs five years ago.

The so-called resettlement, of course, is not a simple free-range, but a concentrated killing of these stray dogs to slow down the spatial environment in Xicheng.

At that time, there was no "euthanasia", and all stray dogs were "beaten to death with sticks", without human feelings.

There are so many stray dogs that have died under the sticks that some people claim in an online post that they have seen the ghost of a vicious dog near the Splendid Tower.

"So weird? Fake it. "I immediately locked the post and looked at the comments on it.

"Sell bamboo rats, sell bamboo rats, sell bamboo rats, sell bamboo rats"

"Did you forget to put a full stop upstairs?"

"Brother, are you a novice, others are experiencing fifteen characters in water."

"The water sticker is cool for a while, and the whole family crematorium."

"Cai Xu Kun, are you there, remember to help me order a takeout."

"Hello, I'm a takeaway, may I ask what kind of dish Xu Kun you want."

"It's so beautiful upstairs, can I go to your house for the New Year?"

"If you want to be my father, just say, what kind of year will you come to my house?"

I read more than a dozen comments in a row, and they were all some nonsense water post comments, and I couldn't get useful information from them.

I simply clicked on the "only look at the landlord" function to see if the landlord who posted had left a more detailed comment.

The landlord's nickname is "Rebirth 1949", and he seems to be a patriot.

Judging from the display, after he posted, only one comment was left.

"Attention all sailors, I really didn't lie to you, there are indeed vicious dogs and ghosts near the Splendid Building, and I have decided to go in and out of the Splendid Building now."

"This landlord has already entered the Splendid Building?" I looked at the date of this comment and saw that it was exactly two years ago.
