Chapter 002: Sweepstakes at the Buyer's Store
Zhan Tao did not pay more attention to the word "protagonist", he noticed that Saki's eyes were different from ordinary people, there were too many whites of the eyes, but the cornea of the eyes was only a little small, and it looked lifeless and made people feel cold in the stomach. What's even more terrifying and amazing is that the moment Saki looks back, everything around him is still, just like a smoothly playing video suddenly darkens the pause button. The hands that wrote the words, the frowning brows, the half-open mouths, any continued movements were stuck there, as if they were not real human beings, but a group of fleshless and soulless shells.
Without a corresponding reply, Saki stiffly twisted his head back and said suddenly, "Is it because I've been too sensitive lately?" ”
Zhan Tao slumped back to his seat, staring at the classmates around him who had returned to normal with wide eyes, and his heart was shocked and frightened. The last half of the class was probably the most difficult period of Zhantao's life, and when the bell rang, he breathed a sigh of relief, and watched Saki walk out of the classroom with the fragrant shoulder of the class flower, because the progress of the two of them was too rapid, it was difficult not to think of something.
I don't know what kind of psychology it is, Saki Mo followed out in a daze, obviously very frightened in his heart, but he was too curious, he couldn't control himself at all. Unexpectedly, the two did not go to the hotel, but walked side by side into a shop with a strange and novel decoration. The storefront is dark, with a translucent black curtain on the outside of the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror, and the light on the inside is dim, and only a vague light and shadow are beating through the curtain. Looking up, there are several large letters on the plaque in the center of the store: Buyer's Store.
Another strange name.
Zhan Tao stopped on the doorstep for a few minutes, thought about it, and still didn't rush in, in case he collided with Saki and fell into the name of a follower, it would be difficult to explain. He hid by the stone sculpture on the side and squatted down, and it took more than ten minutes before he waited for Saki Banhua to come out. When they came out, their hands were empty, and they didn't know what they had bought in this weird store. When the two of them walked away, Zhan Tao pushed open the door of the store, the door of unknown material was heavier than expected, the door squeaked open, the light penetrated through the inside and was dark, there was no pungent smell of dust, and the hall was cleaned up.
Although it was dark, it did not affect his eyesight, and Zhan Tao saw at a glance the person waiting in the hall, this person was wearing a magic hat, his head was lowered, and he was wrapped tightly in a cloak as black as night. Obviously dressed up strangely, but it did not arouse Zhantao's vigilance, he inexplicably felt that this person was waiting for him.
"Welcome to the buyer's store. "It's a warm and peaceful voice.
"What do you sell here?" asked Zhan Tao instinctively.
"Here, you can buy everything you want. Valued buyer, you only need to pay some garts, which is very cost-effective. ”
"Gat?"
"It's a shame that you don't have the smell of Gart on you, but that's okay, for the [protagonist] who comes to the buyer's store for the first time, we will give away a surprise gift pack for free. ”
Only then did Zhan Tao notice that there were many bottles and cans on the counter on the wall, some of which contained yellow viscous liquid, and what was disgusting and disgusting was that there were even dead and stiff mole corpses soaking in them.
"Can it be or?" Zhan Tao swallowed, not expecting anything from this so-called surprise package.
The owner of the shop hesitated, and in the spirit of the principle of customer first, he tentatively asked, "Or would you like to enjoy a free lottery service?"
Zhan Tao muttered in his heart, it seems that it is a mandatory measure, he is under the eaves, he has to bow his head and agree, "Okay, what should I do." ”
"Oh, not at all, you just have to use what you want, and the instrument will receive it. The shopkeeper pointed sideways, and a huge black object appeared, and when he looked closely, he could vaguely see the shape of the turntable.
Zhan Tao closed his eyes suspiciously, and in a thought, the turntable really spun, and the whining sound of the bearing running-in sounded in his ears, like a stone plate in a workshop began to work. Because he was not allowed to open his eyes, Zhan Tao obediently closed, during which the turntable moved and stopped, and this was repeated several times.
"Oh my God, what's going on?!" the man was taken aback.
Zhan Tao's heart was shocked, his eyelids quickly popped open, thinking that something had happened, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
The inquiry was unanswered, and the shopkeeper was silent for half a minute, and then said in a compromising manner, "Okay, okay, it seems that this is the only way." ”
Zhan Tao was confused, the owner of the store turned around, spread his hands, and said in a surprised voice, "Congratulations, you have won the biggest award since the store opened, and it is...... Strange Ancient Books!"
Sounds like a book?Just kidding?It's a big prize?But for now, Zhan Tao just wanted to leave as soon as possible, he stretched out his palm and said, "Thank you, give it to me, I'm leaving." ”
"Don't worry. The shopkeeper held up a finger, then left a hurried back and said, "I forgot where I put it, I'll have to spend some time looking for it, please be patient." ”
Zhan Tao sighed, he couldn't wait to leave this ghostly shop, he hated these shops who like to pretend to be ghosts, well, he admitted that there were some characteristics, but so what? He has been here for so long, and he has not seen any new customers come in, it seems that he has not won the approval of the market.
The owner of the store rummaged through the boxes and cabinets for a while, and finally found the book, the book was presented in a box with a black cover, and the seal was tied with a lilac ribbon, which looked very exquisite, and the owner of the store solemnly handed the book box into Zhan Tao's hand, and bowed slightly, "Welcome to come next time." ”
Zhan Tao nodded, holding the bookcase in one hand and almost broke out of the door, when he breathed in the fresh air that he had not seen for a long time outside, he was already out of breath, looked at the sky, it seemed that it was not too late, he raised his wrist to look at his watch, and his heart tugged.
The spreadsheet clearly reads: 6:21.
It took nearly twenty minutes to walk from the school to the school at six o'clock, that is to say, he only stayed in it for about a minute, is it possible?
Hurry home and close the bedroom door, Mu Xiaozhi hasn't come back yet, and Zhan Tao must have called her to ask where she went, but there are obviously more important things to solve today. Zhan Tao felt that his three views were shattering, as an atheist, he had really seen too many incredible things today!
He turned on the computer and typed a few keywords "lost time" into the browser entry, and the result was a series of sensational news, and after the search was fruitless, he lay on the back of his chair in frustration, and his eyes unintentionally fell on the bookcase next to the desk.
Then, he typed in Baidu: Zhiwei Ancient Books, and soon got the result.
The ancient book of Zhiwei has another more famous name, it is called "Mountains and Seas" or "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Untie the ribbon, open the box, Zhan Tao took out the book, the book cover is very rough, probably frosted material, from the side of the page as white as new, but intuition tells Zhan Tao that this is not a new book, he is not the first owner.
There are words on the back of the book, which are traditional characters, but fortunately, there are not many complex fonts, and Zhan Tao can recognize seven, seven, eight, eight, and eight, plus there are not many words, it is easy to read its meaning. Probably: once a month, one at a time, with demons, absurd and uninhibited. Sorry, I can only reveal so much, I hope you all get along well, good luck, your faithful friend note.
