Chapter 49: The Codex of Exorcism
I glanced in the direction of his finger, and the room was not dark, but the staircase was shrouded in shadow.
"What's on the third floor?" Retracting my gaze, I continued to ask.
"The third floor...... Hehe......" He scratched his head and said, "It's useless to tell you now, you'll know when the time comes." ”
Hearing him say this, I didn't ask any more, they are like this, when they don't want to tell you, even if you ask until dark, they will never say a word, and when the time comes to their so-called, you don't have to ask, they will come up to tell you.
Seeing that I didn't ask so quickly, Xiao Ling seemed to be a little unaccustomed to it, and said, "You really don't ask?" ”
"Didn't you say you wouldn't tell me?"
"What if you asked, and I told you as soon as I was in a good mood?"
My head is full of black lines! Still playing like this?
"That'..... You tell me? ”
"Don't tell!"
“........”
Looking at his cheap smile, I want to go up and give him a kick in the face!
When I knew him before, I thought he was still a very serious person, why was his true form revealed now?
"Okay, okay, let's explain to you about the store first, after all, you're a new employee." He coughed twice, stood up and pointed to the wooden table, "This is equivalent to the counter in the store, you sit at the back of the counter every day, waiting for customers to come to the door." If you think the guest is reliable, you can bring him here to continue the conversation. As he spoke, he pointed to the bench under me: "If the guests are unreliable, just coax them away, and you don't need to say a word of nonsense." ”
"The cabinet here is filled with signs, and here are some things for divination, of course you can't use them now, so don't care."
“…………”
He suddenly remembered something, ran to the wooden platform in three or two steps, and bent down to grope under the platform. I curiously followed, only to see him pull out a very torn pamphlet from under the table and hand it to me.
"Well, that's what I said I was going to give you."
I took the booklet and looked at it, and there were four words written on it, "Exorcism Codex", and I don't know what font it was written in, anyway, I read it for a long time to understand.
I asked him, "Isn't this a big baby, and you just put it under the wooden table in the lobby so casually?" ”
"Oh, with Uncle Bo here, there will be no thieves in the store!" Xiao Ling was confident, and laughed: "There were really two thieves when I just invited Uncle Bo over, but they were almost scared to death after seeing Uncle Bo, and they left their shoes here when they ran!" ”
"Uncle Bo...... Looks scary? I asked.
"Of course not!" Xiao Ling shook her head: "Uncle Bo is also a capable person, but he doesn't know how to speak, those two thieves were purely frightened by Uncle Bo's funny." ”
He explained to me a lot, where the bathroom is, where things are not allowed to move, and where things must be moved according to the steps, anyway, I am a head and two big.
After explaining this, he looked out of the door, said that he wanted to go out to deal with something, and asked me to go up to talk to Uncle Bo in a while, saying that Uncle Bo was on par with his strength and could teach me a lot of things, and then went out and left.
I sat down in front of the wooden table, squared the "Codex of Exorcism" on the countertop for a while, and then, full of a sense of sacredness, gently opened the first page.
"The Codex of Exorcism of Evil Spirits, which records what I have learned all my life, and the lineage of exorcism is remembered, this book cannot be passed on to direct descendants, but can only be given to those who are destined."
That's the opening paragraph, and there's a very ugly portrait drawn at the back, the brush and ink are too thick, and I don't know if it's an old man or a man in the prime of life.
I'm a little curious, why can't it be passed on to direct descendants, but only to those who are destined to do so?
And this booklet is very thin, I looked at it from the side, and it was only twenty pages, but with only twenty pages of content, how could it be possible for a rookie to become a master of metaphysics?
Confused, I flipped down again, but the second page was blank!
"Wow, what kind of plane? Play with me without words! "I kept scrolling down the third page, the fourth page, all the way to the last page of the book, and there was not a single word!
Is Uncle playing tricks on me? Or is it testing me? Could it be that this book has any other meaning?
As a man who watched a certain detective, after an afternoon of staring at this book, my brain cells announced that the whole army was destroyed! That's too hard, isn't it?!
Thinking of a scene in a martial arts novel, I went to the bathroom to dip a certain page in some water, and the result was.... A page was scrapped.
Sure enough, the novels are all lies!
Looking at the sky outside, which was slowly darkening, I sat down in front of the wooden table, my stomach growling with hunger.
"Well, what's the use of giving me this?" I casually fastened the ancient book on the wooden table, and suddenly a line of small black letters on the back of the book caught my attention: "Huh? What is this? ”
I took a closer look, and it read: Guanghai Dayang Publishing House, price: 3 yuan.
$3.....
3 yuan?!
Is this the secret method of the exorcist lineage? Tease me, huh? Three dollars to buy a secret method that doesn't pass on the secret method, it's too ridiculous!
I was panting in anger, Xiao Ling was too good at fooling me, no wonder he put the book in the lobby on the first floor and was not afraid of losing it, no one would steal it at all, okay?! What fool came to steal a book for three bucks? Or risk being arrested and locked up for three or five years?
I was a little unwilling, reached out and took out my mobile phone, and directly Baidu "Guanghai Dayang Publishing House" A few words, the webpage flickered, and a large number of search results were listed in front of my eyes.
Click on the first one, it is estimated to be the most visited one, and the words "official website" are also marked on it. The interface is on a black background, and bright red words slowly emerge - Dayang Publishing Co., Ltd.
"Neurotic!" I rolled my eyes, a publishing house website does like a horror novel website, isn't this a hole in the brain!
After a few words dissipated, another white envelope popped out, still shaking vigorously, I clicked on the center of the envelope, and a white letter paper jumped out, and the fonts on it appeared one by one:
Congratulations, you have completed the first step of the exorcist assessment, and then you are facing the second step of the assessment, please successfully capture a ghost within seventy-two hours, we will send you a treasure to subdue the ghost, and keep watching you in the dark until you complete the second step of the test, or..... Swallowed by a ghost!
I read the words and disappeared, and by the time I finished reading the last word, the letter was blank. I held my forehead a little helplessly, this looks more like a Halloween prank, but what he showed was the exorcist assessment, isn't it.... Is the exorcism codex a feature of their publishing house? Is it the best seller?
In short, no matter what point I think about it, I feel like this publishing house is hype, and in the end, there is still no business, and the staff members are idle and farting.
