Chapter 5: Capturing Books
The store manager took the signed book and slowly walked to the store, and the moment the store door closed, I vaguely heard the middle-aged man say, "Who are you?" but soon I couldn't hear it.
"It's a stop-time clock...... Time can be paused. "When I got back to the store, the manager took out the pocket watch and showed it to us.
"This ...... Isn't this an artifact?" I thought to myself, as long as I have this thing, I can do whatever I want. Thinking of this, I left my saliva with envy, the store manager smiled slightly, and continued: "Well, although it may not be as amazing as you think, but it doesn't matter, let me tell you how to use this tool, where to start...... By the way, look at the dial of this clock, is it not moving?"
"Hmm. I nodded in reply.
"Okay, now I'm going to pause time. With that, the manager pressed the button on the top of the pocket watch. For a moment, there was another burst of pressure, and then time "stopped".
"Now that time has stopped, look at the dial of this pocket watch, is it moving?" asked the store manager.
I took a closer look at the dial and said, "Oh!!"
"Well, that's the basic usage, and then teach you advanced usage. The store manager was about to continue, when Li Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Advanced usage means using the button below, right?"
"Oh, little girl, you're going to use this?" quipped.
"Hmm. After Li Yuan finished speaking, he took the clock, then walked to the bookshelf, pressed the button at the bottom of the pocket watch, and then easily took the book off the shelf.
The store manager laughed and said to Li Yuan: "Yes, yes, that's it." Li Yuan handed the pocket watch back to the store manager, and then stood aside, and after the store manager took it, he said to me, "Do you know why you need to press the button at the bottom to get the books on the shelf?"
I honestly replied, "I don't know." Then he hung his head.
"Very good, now, you go and try the book that Li Yuan took just now. The store manager ordered me. I walked over to the bookshelf and tried to pick up the book, and it was like a piece of iron, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move at all, and the store manager said, "Now I'll give you the clock, and you think about the book, and then press the button at the bottom and try again." ”
I tried it according to the method told by the store manager, and I was shocked to take the book down easily.
"Do you understand it now?" said the store manager.
"Well, of course. I replied confidently.
"Very well, let's go capture the next book. Oh, and by the way, our bookstore is actually a separate space, so you can go wherever you want to go with just one pull of the rattle, just like the advanced use of a stop clock. With that, the store manager walked to the door of the bookstore, wrote a cross, opened his palm, and a tree vine appeared at the door, and after the store manager pulled it, he made a jingle sound, and then the store manager called me over and said to me, "Next, you can practice, remember, the moment you open the door, you have to press the stop button, understand?" the store manager said, and let the time continue, "There is one more thing, if you want time to continue, just press the stop button again." With that, he gave me the pocket watch.
Open the door, it is also a venue, but it seems to be bigger, more people, and more noisy than the venue just now, I pressed the stop button of the pocket watch in my hand, the pocket watch dial moved, although the clicking sound was very small, but it was unexpectedly clear, I pressed the bottom button on Li Yuan and the store manager again, and the store manager smiled and said:" Well, that's good, in the center of the stage, the girl with a pen and lying on a desk and chair is the target writer for this trip, and then I'll give you some money, you buy that book, and then go back to the bookstore, and press the stop button again to continue the time of the venue. ”
I listened to the store manager and did so, and when I walked up to the girl writer, I pressed the bottom button to let her time continue, and I said, "Please give me this book, and by the way, please sign it, and then can you shake my hand." "The girl writer, whose pen name is Yu Huanxi, is one of my favorite writers, how can I not cherish such an opportunity to come into contact with my favorite writer?
"Hmm...... Well, alas, I seem to know you, and I remember that you were present at every signing session I had, and are you still writing?" the girl writer asked me.
"Write...... What?" I asked, confused.
"It's a novel, you said the first time you came to my book signing, you're writing a novel called 'The Star Striped Beastmaster!'" said the teenage writer.
However, I remembered that in the system of searching for books in the library, my novels were read only zero, and I was silent. When the girl writer seemed to be about to say something more, a wave-like sound suddenly erupted in the distance, and a dragon-shaped monster came out of the ground, and the store manager shouted anxiously: "You You, press the top button and the bottom button at the same time on that monster!!!
"Oh...... I pressed two buttons at the same time, and sure enough, the monster stopped, and the manager seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then he threw me a blank book with a cross on the cover and said to me: "Open the book, and then face the monster in the middle of the book, and read the text on the back of the book." ”
I did as the store manager said, opened the book and looked at the dragon-like monster, and said, "Satan, Lord of Magic, I have made a magical contract with your apostle, and your apostle will obey me and be your enemy, awaken, my apostle, your name is Diyang, and you are my slave." Wake up!" I felt embarrassed after reading the text at the back of the book, and complained fiercely in my heart: This passage is too middle-class. Then, within a few moments, the monster was sucked into the book, and the book was closed.
The store manager turned around and walked into the store, stopped, and said to me, "I'm done capturing the books, it's time to go." After I heard this, I glanced at Teacher Yu Huanxi, turned around, and walked to the store......
The store manager patted me on the shoulder and said to me, "Well done, I'll hand over this book to you for safekeeping...... I nodded, and asked the store manager again: "This book is ......"
The store manager smiled mysteriously and told me, "This is a magic book, as long as you have a magic book, you can become a magic master, and if the magic book is full, you can become a magic master." ”
