Chapter 399: Stranger

My heart tightened, and Boss Ma's peaceful smile and indifferent gaze seemed to reveal some kind of hint, he couldn't have guessed that I actually had a special purpose for this book?

I touched the back of my head and sneered, "What's the matter, I just like this kind of very unique thing, I think the text in it is very interesting, so I want to take it back and see, and the essays in it are very well written, at least there is no wind and snow and words piled up, very life-like." ”

Boss Ma smiled, "People who can be interested in this kind of book are unusual people, this gentleman, can I take the liberty of asking, where are you high?" ”

"I opened a hotel, and I just messed around." I smiled, picked up the book, flipped a few pages unnaturally, and put it down.

Boss Ma smiled and shook his head, "This gentleman said that he was in business, but I can't smell the smell of businessmen from you." ”

"The smell of a merchant, what is that? Boss Ma is really good at joking. I pretended to laugh heartlessly, but I was already panicking.

This Boss Ma has something to say, his eyes hidden behind the lenses are probably secretly insightful, and I can only disguise myself like a big fool in front of him, trying to cover up the clues that I may be exposed.

Boss Ma also smiled indifferently, "The smell of businessmen, isn't that the smell of copper?" ”

"Copper smell? Hahaha...... Boss Ma will really say, in fact, the smell of copper on my body, the smell of the world is quite heavy, probably because I just took a bath today, so you didn't smell it, and you will smell it very clearly after a long time. ”

I pushed the book in front of him again, "Boss Ma, please please register, and how much deposit do I need to pay?" ”

Boss Ma still sat still, "You take it back to see, and you can come back after three days, no deposit is required." ”

"What about the rent?" I frowned and asked, since it is a precious book, the only book he picked up from the people, he doesn't even need a deposit, aren't you afraid that I won't return it?

"I'll calculate the rent with you when you come back, don't worry, I won't ask for a sky-high price."

I couldn't help laughing, "Boss Ma is really getting more and more humorous, the rent of a book is only, are you still letting me take all my net worth?" ”

Boss Ma hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, "If you were to take all your net worth, would you be willing?" ”

I "chuckled" in my heart, this old guy is definitely not joking, nor is he ridiculing, he is dozens of years old and still making such low-level jokes does not match his identity.

He was seriously asking me if I would be willing to use all my net worth and life to rent the "Legend of Sunrise Ida" for three days.

This ghost book is really unusual.

I sniffed and continued to pretend to be stupid, "I used all my net worth and life to exchange for three days of books to read, I really can't reach that height, I'm not the kind of person who is hungry for books and knowledge at all, to be honest, if the rent is more than 100 yuan a day, I will feel that Boss Ma is killing me, and I want to call the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to defend my rights." ”

"Hahaha......" Boss Ma let out a hearty laugh, but the atmosphere did not become any lighter.

He pushed the book in front of me, took out a pale yellow cloth bag from the drawer and put it up for me, "I'm kidding you, don't take it seriously, if a book is worth more than a person's worth and life, then the book is not worth it." ”

I accompanied the smiling face, "That's that, where did Boss Ma get this book?" It's really weird, I've never seen a book with such a strange transcript. ”

"I forgot." Boss Ma spit out this sentence very easily, and such a reaction made it difficult for me to ask again.

I kept asking, he wouldn't tell me the real answer except for the gag, he was lying to me, how could someone as thoughtful as him forget where he got this book from, and besides, this is no ordinary book.

I picked up the cloth bag, hesitated for a moment and asked, "But if I really don't pay the deposit, in case I lose this book, or if I don't return it, won't Boss Ma lose it?" ”

Boss Ma picked up the purple sand teapot and explained with a smile, "The rent of each of my books here is different, and as for whether to charge a deposit, it is also treated differently according to the book and the person who borrowed it." ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately asked cheekily, "What does Boss Ma mean that I am a trustworthy person, so I don't have to pay a deposit?" ”

Boss Ma shook his head without hesitation.

My heart sank, if it wasn't for this reason, then what else could it be for?

"The reason why I don't charge you a deposit is because you don't dare not pay it back." Boss Ma said this expressionlessly, and my back was cold.

Can't?

I subconsciously reached into my pocket and pinched the Chongqing, and the big war might be imminent.

This grandson must have expected that this book would be able to restrain me, so I didn't dare not return it, this "don't dare" was a threat and provocation from him.

The thunder and rain outside actually stopped at this time, as if the movie pause button was pressed, and the noise that was still there just now was completely still.

A cold and sharp atmosphere hung over us, Boss Ma's smile gradually emerged, and I squeezed Chongqing again.

I was very focused, and I felt like I couldn't slow him down by 0.1 seconds when I made a shot.

Boss Ma slowly opened his mouth, "You don't dare not return it, because you are a person with status, because I ran to your hotel to make a fuss because of a book, how can you still do business?" ”

Boss Ma laughed after speaking, I slowly let go of my hand, and my heart gradually relaxed.

This guy is panting and scary, but this doesn't mean that what he just said is his original intention, after playing Tai Chi with me for half a day, people like him wouldn't do things like him that waste time.

I also laughed along, "Boss Ma is really amused, indeed, I can't smash my hotel's business because of a book, but please rest assured, Boss Ma, I have always been a civilized, polite and moral person since I was a child, I will definitely borrow and return, I will protect this book and ensure that a piece of paper will not be broken." ”

"Just kidding, sir, don't take it personally."

"My name is Zhang Hang, just call me by my name."

"It's more polite to call you Mr. Zhang, after all, Mr. Zhang is also a person with status and status."

"Then it's up to Boss Ma." I looked up at the sky outside, "The rain has stopped, then I'll take my leave first, thank you Boss Ma." ”

"You're welcome."

I held the bag in my arms and walked out of the bookstore quickly.

When I got into the car, I carefully placed the cloth bag containing "The Legend of Hirise Ida" on the passenger seat, exhaled a long time, and then stepped on the accelerator.

That very coincidental lightning bolt happened to shine on the cover of "The Legend of Sunrise Ida" to attract my attention, and the meaningful words that Boss Ma said one after another, could this book be a trap arranged by their organization, pulling me step by step?

I returned to the hotel with a stomach full of questions, and immediately called Zhao Heizi over and told him what happened in the bookstore.

I opened the cloth bag and handed him the "Legend of Sunrise Ida".

Zhao Heizi frowned, opened the book "The Biography of Risheng Ida", read it carefully for a while, raised his head to look at me, and said in a deep voice, "This book is so strange, could it be that someone from their organization wrote it?" After all, the text on it is roughly the same as the font on the dominoes. ”

I frowned and pinched my chin and walked to the window, "There are too many coincidences today, no matter what, this book does have something to do with that demon organization, otherwise this font would not be used by them, no matter what, I will use this book to decipher those 4 words first, so that I know what to do next." ”

Zhao Heizi nodded, "Okay, then you go check it first, you should be able to find the answer to those 4 words, as for the bookstore, I will continue to stare at that Boss Ma." ”

I turned my head to look at him, "Have you found anything special in the past few days?" ”

Zhao Heizi shook his head with some disappointment, "It's nothing, this Boss Ma is from out of town, and he bought that suite half a year ago, and the bookstore opened at about the same time. ”

"Where's his name?"

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that his name is Ma Yuan, but it doesn't mean much, if he has a special status, it's just a code name."

I nodded, "It's hard work, then let's go here for the time being, and I'll study the next move with you after I find those four words." ”

I chatted with Zhao Heizi for a few words, and he left the office first.

I sat down and opened the book "The Legend of Hirise Ida" and read it carefully.

I didn't rush to look up those 4 words, but started on page 1 to study the contents of these essays.

It took me more than three hours to read the book according to the traditional Chinese translation of Chinese.

Although the style of these essays is similar to that of elementary school students, the content is not boring, and most of them record the events of playing outdoors, enjoying the scenery, and living at home.

Judging from these contents, this is the daily life of ordinary people, so I began to question whether the person who wrote the content should be a demon.

But in the end, this idea was disproved by myself, what if this demon is a high-level demon, he already has a human way of life, or he has lived among humans for a long time, so he can have this experience and write content that is no different from ordinary people.

As soon as this conclusion came out, the first thing I thought of was Ma Yuan, and my back was cold in an instant.

Turning his head, it was already dark outside.
