Chapter 52: The Alley

Hearing Lu Mingfei's answer, Kent's restless heart slowly calmed down.

After a few more minutes, Lu Mingfei's phone rang again.

"Didi, Didi."

The crisp ringtones are so inconspicuous in the noisy streets.

Lu Mingfei slowly connected, and the opposite side spoke.

"The satellite map of the alley over there has been sent to your mobile phone mailbox, as for whether it is the Nibelungen or not, I can't be sure, you know, the professor must not be able to say." Chu Zihang stood by the windowsill and said.

"Is that so? I see, thanks. ”

"Little things."

The two never procrastinate when it comes to important things, which is why Lu Mingfei likes to get along with Chu Zihang.

Lu Mingfei clicked on his mailbox in his mobile phone and found an encrypted file lying quietly in his mobile phone, and Lu Mingfei pressed it gently.

"Voiceprint verification." Norma's calm girl sounded.

"It's me." Lu Mingfei said calmly.

"Welcome, Lu Mingfei." After saying that, Norma disappeared from the screen, leaving only a map in the phone, and after confirming that there was no problem with the file, Lu Mingfei began to check the map.

Looking at the various shops marked above, Lu Mingfei quickly found the corner bookstore described by the little fat man, since he found the target, let's go and see it first.

"Let's go, Kent."

"Yes."

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Following the guidance of the map, Lu Mingfei and Kent came to the alley with the sign of the corner bookstore, it was noon, it was still the sun outside, and it was reasonable that the bookstore should have a good business.

After all, there are many people who go to the bookstore and it is not as simple as just going to buy them, some are here to buy books, some are here to rub the air conditioner, and the bookstore owner naturally doesn't care about these people as long as it does not affect their business, after all, you are equivalent to giving the bookstore popularity, if the bookstore is too long and no one comes, it will cause unclean things, which is a long time ago.

And Lu Mingfei actually encountered this kind of thing, when he was in Penglai before, in a late-night bookstore in the city, he met a group of "forgetful" reading books there, looking at the happy appearance of the boss, Lu Mingfei was not embarrassed to tell him, but smiled and refused the boss's invitation to go in and read books together.

Those "forgets" are actually the fact that the person's body has died, but his soul does not know it, and still lives as a normal person.

Looking at the bookstore in front of him, which should have been on fire, the door was closed at this time, or there was a business in the middle of the road hanging on it, and Ming Fei thought it was closed.

"How?" Looking at Lu Mingfei, who was contemplating, he asked curiously.

"It's okay, let's keep walking." Lu Mingfei opened his mouth and said, at this time, this bookstore looked a little weird, and Lu Mingfei was in no mood to care what the boss was thinking.

The two walked slowly towards the alley, until the figure gradually disappeared at the intersection, and what the two didn't know was that in the black glass, they thought that the white-haired old man was staring at the two through the glass.

"Are you two lost people again?"

After saying that, the bookstore owner lowered his head again and continued to wipe the mirror in his hand, although the mirror in his hand was already broken, and the dirt on it seemed to be engraved in the mirror.

And Lu Mingfei and the two followed the map, and they also successfully walked out of the other end of the alley, although there are forks in the alley, most of them are dead ends, and only the middle one can really walk.

Although the two knew that they would not get the information so easily, Lu Mingfei, who had found nothing, still sighed.

"Kent, show me the message Casey sent you."

"Yes." Kent hurriedly handed over the satellite phone.

The message is sent very regularly, one every half an hour, and the previous content is roughly the same as what Kent described, but when Casey said that he was going to investigate the surroundings of Xike, Lu Mingfei found an abnormality.

"I entered from the alley, and the owner of the bookstore greeted me warmly."

"It's strange, why haven't we reached the end yet, and the alleys in China are so long?"

"It's quiet, I feel something is wrong, but it seems like there's no turning back now."

β€œno in”

That's the end of the information, Kent looked at Lu Mingfei with an innocent face, he had already filtered useful information to Lu Mingfei, these things are nothing?

"Kent, I'll ask you something, and you're in contact every half hour, right?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"yes, it's a habit I've kept with Kent for so many years, and I can't be wrong." As if he was afraid that Lu Mingfei would not believe it, Kent patted his chest as a guarantee.

"Then let me ask you a question, how long did it take us to get out of this alley?"

"Ten minutes?" Kent said slowly, and then with a chill in his back, he also discovered the problem.

"Anyway, don't go in or out of this alley yet, let's go back to the starting point first." Lu Mingfei quickly made a plan.

The two went around in a big circle, and finally returned to the starting point, this amount of exercise is naturally nothing to the two of them, Lu Mingfei thought of Kent's first words, so he only needs to ask the owner of the bookstore if he has seen Casey to know if Casey is walking this alley.

"Jingle bells."

Lu Mingfei slowly pushed open the door of the bookstore, causing the wind chimes hanging on the door to creak.

After entering, Lu Mingfei found that the bookstore was far more deserted than he thought, there was no light in the room, and the black glass outside made the store look like a haunted house at noon.

However, this bit of darkness has no effect on Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei also saw the old man sitting by the bar at a glance.

"Boss? Boss? Lu Mingfei whispered to the old man sitting at the table at the door.

"I have to buy books and find them myself." The old man said without raising his head.

"Boss, have you ever seen a big white man before? He's my friend. ”

"I don't remember, there were so many people in the bookstore in one day, how could I remember them all." The boss continued to wipe the book in his hand, as if he didn't care about Lu Mingfei's words at all.

Kent was a little unhappy, why did this boss not know how to do business so much, and he was just about to come forward to theorize but was stopped by Lu Mingfei.

"Boss, what do you think of this? You always think about it, I bought two books, and I like to read books the most. Lu Mingfei said with a smile.

"Well, maybe I'll remember when I buy it." The old man raised his head, and his cloudy eyes showed a glimmer of essence.

"Okay."

Lu Mingfei picked up randomly on the bookshelf, and there were labels hanging on them, most of them were "30", "40", and "50", and there was no marked unit, and it was a huge pit at first glance, but Lu Mingfei didn't care at all.

After shopping for a while, Lu Mingfei casually picked up two books, came to the boss, took out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it over.

"Can you remember that?"

"It's a little bit closer, maybe two more." The old man continued to speak nonchalantly.

Lu Mingfei was not stingy, and handed out a hundred-yuan bill again, and the old man looked up with a hideous face.

"I remember, that lad did go in."

"But you better don't go to him, stay here with me." The old man said with a cruel smile.

But when he looked up, he was dumbfounded.

Ten flying swords had already hung above his head, and the dazzling sword light made the old man scream.

"I know what you old boy knows." Lu Mingfei said with a smile.

"You're not afraid of losing your account if you do this kind of harmful business."
