Xiao Guo went back to his hometown for a week of family leave, Fang Rui really didn't expect the library to have such a humane setting, but for Xiao Guo, who was ostensibly Xiao Zhengtai but was actually a thousand-year-old zombie, there were still relatives who could explore Fang Rui was surprised. For this reason, Bai Jingjing expressed her disdain, your human beings' solipsistic thinking is really hopeless, and demons and monsters also have relatives, how can you only humans have relatives and friends?! This kind of racism is unacceptable, as a punishment, Xiaoguo will do his work on the days when he goes home to visit his relatives!

After receiving an education that all living beings are equal, Fang Rui had to sigh that ginger was old and spicy, and he was dumped for some reason. Woo woo ~ ~ ~! Sky Duck, when will this kind of substitute shift and no overtime pay be the end? I really hope that the store manager Grandpa Luo will come back soon, so that Bai Jingjing can bully herself all day long under the guise of acting as the store manager!

But no matter how unwilling he was, Fang Rui still didn't dare to resist, after all, the other party was a white bone spirit who could destroy him in minutes. Sitting on the chair drowsy, resisting the desire to close his eyelids and fall asleep, Fang Rui, who had to work in the afternoon during the day and substitute for him at night, was too sleepy, fortunately, Bai Jingjing was still a little human, knowing that Fang Rui was a human after all, and the continuous rotation of day and night would definitely be unbearable, so it was hereby approved that Fang Rui's shift during the day would only start at three o'clock in the afternoon, but even so, Fang Rui still felt unbearable. If it weren't for the fact that Xiaoguo would come back in one day, Fang Rui would really want to slap the table and quit!

Fang Rui, who got up and made himself another cup of black coffee, kept yawning, Xiaoguo's job was actually very easy, that is, guarding the counter every night, only responsible for two things: accepting books for sale or renting books. Those who come to sell books will accept the other party's letter of life, and what will be paid to the other party is not money but an antique wooden box that will automatically appear on the counter at that time, as for what is in this box Fang Rui has no way of knowing, this box is said to be open only by those who sell books. As for those who come to borrow books, Fang Rui only needs to knock a special seal for the bookstore on the borrowed books, so that the borrowed books will automatically return to the bookstore as soon as the borrowed book period expires.

Everything seemed so simple and easy to operate, well, after all, Fang Rui had thought so before tonight, and there was neither anyone who came to sell books nor borrowed books on the first six nights of the substitute shift, Fang Rui just stayed behind the counter for six nights. After drinking coffee, Fang Rui couldn't help but make himself another bowl of instant noodles, and after snoring and soothing his stomach, he stood up from behind the counter, but was startled by a child who didn't know when he was already standing in front of the counter.

"Little friend, you... Is there anything wrong with you? Fang Rui touched his chest and asked.

The other party did not respond, the child's messy hair was very unkempt and dirty, Fang Rui couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman with his head lowered, his clothes were very shabby and sloppy, the weather was not very cold, he was wearing a sweater and cotton pants, and a pair of shoes on his feet were torn, revealing his feet without socks inside.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Fang Rui asked again.

"I... Come.... Library. From the child's body came an empty, indifferent voice without any emotional fluctuations.

"Oh, yes." Fang Rui was a little nervous when he heard that he was here to borrow books, after all, he had never received guests for fear that there would be any mistakes, so he quickly recalled the borrowing process that Bai Jingjing had explained, and Fang Rui walked to the library behind the store with the child.

Bai Jingjing said that as long as he came to borrow a book, he would take him into the library, and before he found the book that needed to be borrowed, Fang Rui's task was to command the book spirit to take the book off the bookshelf and give it to the other party after knocking the stamp, and he didn't even need to record the lending information. Therefore, after taking the child into the library, Fang Rui walked behind the child, and the child walked for a long time between the rows of towering bookshelves before bringing Fang Rui to a row of bookshelves, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the seventh book from the left in the third row of the bookshelf.

Fang Rui immediately commanded the book spirits who had been following him to take the book off the shelf, there were several closed eyes on the black book cover, when Fang Rui got it in his hand, these big and small eyes suddenly opened, one eye was full of bloodshots, one eye had double pupils, one eye had a pupil the size of a needle's eye, one eye was like a cat's eye was a vertical line, and one eye was black all over. Fang Rui was so frightened by these sudden strange eyes that his hands shook, and the book fell to the ground. Fang Rui, who hurriedly squatted down to pick it up, raised his head for some reason and looked at the child who had been unable to see his face clearly, his face... There are no facial features. There are only two small dark holes... Suddenly, two small hands reached out from the small hole and grabbed the book on the ground! Before Fang Rui could recover from the shock, the books on the ground had been snatched away by a pair of small hands stretched out on the child's face.

"I haven't knocked on the chapter yet!" Fang Rui was so shocked that he rushed forward to take the book back, but saw that the book full of eyes had disappeared, and then several eyes appeared on the child's face, a face full of eyes... Qi Qi rolled his eyes and glared at Fang Rui, a sharp headache made his eyes darken, and he fainted to the ground。。。。。

What woke up Fang Rui was Bai Jingjing's kick, and Fang Rui, who bounced up from the ground in pain, was pulled and twisted by Bai Jingjing before he could stand his ears, and it hurt hotly!

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts!" Fang Rui shouted.

"I deserve to kill you!" Bai Jingjing angrily crossed her waist with one hand and dragged Fang Rui's ears with the other hand and didn't let go, and the scholars on the side couldn't bear to rub against Bai Jingjing when they saw Fang Rui's painful eyes with tears, as if they were pleading with her for Fang Rui. Bai Jingjing saw that these book spirits were so protective of Fang Rui, thinking that after all, he was the first apprentice in his life, so he could only sigh and let go.

"Ahhh Where are the books? Where's the child? Only then did Fang Rui realize that it was already daylight, and the child who borrowed the book last night had already disappeared, "Master, listen to my explanation!" ”

"I don't listen, I don't listen!" Bai Jingjing's head shook like a rattle, "Shuling has already told me everything, you are a coward!" This is a disaster! ”

"What... What calamity? Fang Rui didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and asked with a blank expression.

"The book of life must be knocked on the chapter for lending, and if you don't knock the chapter, you can't come back by yourself when the book lease period is up!" Bai Jingjing explained with a look of hatred, "The books in the bookstore all have origins, and the stacks of our bookstore have enchantments, so they can restrain the mutation of these books. And the borrowed book of life is also because that chapter has the function of a temporary enchantment, and there will be no chaos. The books of life that leave the bookstore without knocking on the seal, they are all mutated! ”

"Mutation? Will it be bad? That... So what to do? Fang Rui was dumbfounded.

"What to do? I chased the book back at that time! Bai Jingjing slapped Fang Rui's head in disgust.

"Oh, Master, can you not do it?" Fang Rui protected his head, "How do you chase it?" I don't even know what that kid was yesterday! ”

"Follow me!" Bai Jingjing couldn't help but kick Fang Rui again, and led him into the operation room of the bookstore, and a map immediately popped up on the big screen with a flickering red dot on it.

"Every book that is borrowed out has a location system to track it, and last night's book is in this place." Bai Jingjing pointed to the red dot.

"That... What is that? It's all eyes! Fang Rui asked.

"Only the manager has access to the books in the store, but that's not the point right now, the point is that you have to go there and get the books back! And in seven days! Bai Jingjing said.

"But now I only have one location, and I don't know how to get anything else?" Fang Rui complained bitterly.

"Seven days is counted from the moment you lost the book last night, and you probably need more than half a day to get there." Bai Jingjing looked at her watch.

"That... Then Master, are you with me? I can't do it alone! Fang Rui pleaded.

"Grandpa Luo hasn't come back from the headquarters, Xiaoguo is on vacation, I'll go with you again, don't you want anyone to guard the store?" Hurry up and get the hell out of me! Bai Jingjing yelled at Fang Rui!

Poor Fang Rui could only hug his head and run away from the bookstore, and when he got home, Fang Rui wanted to cry with Philip, but this fat cat that was getting rounder kept sleeping, Fang Rui could only give up in the end, packed some things and ran to the train station, and finally bought a train ticket Fang Rui embarked on a book search journey.
