[Brother Cheng, I'm really sorry! I fell asleep in the middle of our conversation yesterday! Really, really, really sorry! 】

The next morning, Kyushu Makoto received a Line text message from Xiaojing, followed by a cartoon expression of "The girl kneels down with her hands folded and the tiger kneels on the ground".

Makoto Kyushu thought about it and replied:

[It's okay, I'm worried that you've been attacked again.] 】

[I fell asleep on the sofa in the living room yesterday. Xiao Jing immediately replied: [I'm sorry, I really worried Brother Cheng! 】

It's another cartoon emoji of "the girl bows and apologizes".

[By the way, since we are all on summer vacation, do you want to hang out together when you have time?] Makoto Kyushu suddenly proposed.

Line, a chat software, can see the message that "the other party has read", but Xiaojing obviously finished reading his text message, but waited for five minutes without replying.

[Are you alright?] After Kyushu Cheng finished washing, he saw that the other party still didn't reply, so he sent another message.

【I'm sorry】Xiaojing finally replied:

[I'm afraid to go out. 】

It was followed by a cartoon expression of "a girl holding her head and squatting".

“.” This time, Kyushu Cheng was silent, but he thought about it, it was indeed difficult for a strong man to ask a socially phobic girl who spoke intermittently to go out, so he typed back:

[Then don't force it, contact me if you need it in the future.] 】

[I'm sorry] Xiaojing hesitated for a while, and apologized again: [Thank you, Brother Cheng. 】

Then I posted a cartoon emoji of "Girl is happy".

Turning off the phone, Makoto Kyushu sighed silently.

Xiaojing's cowardly and timid appearance, which has to be considered for a long time to send a text message, reminds Kyushu Cheng of when he first met the Mizuhashi schoolgirl. Although I don't know what Xiaojing has experienced, if she continues to let her go on like this, her future life will be very painful.

Kyushu Cheng's intuition told him that he should find a way to help Xiaojing. But he can't be like a headless fly, he has to find out the other party's situation first, and then prescribe the right medicine.

But for her to open up to a neighbor she has only known for a long time, it must have taken a lot of effort and a little luck.

After breakfast, Kyushu Cheng went out to Yinyangliao.

Night Tour Tianyin sent him some study materials for exam preparation in the morning, and recommended him to go to Yinyangliao to borrow a few books on psionics.

Makoto Kyushu consulted Eliza again, and the reply given by the other party was: "These books are enough for you to read." ”

When he came to Yinyangliao, Kyushu Cheng handed over the list of books to the receptionist at the front desk, and the other party immediately plunged into the library.

A moment later, the usher walked out with three dictionary-like thick books and piled them up in front of Makoto Kyushu's table:

"Mr. Hongzhong, I'm sorry that this is the book you wanted, the "Occult Pan-Human History" you asked for has been borrowed for now, but I can help you go to the warehouse to find it, please wait a while."

"It's okay, you look for it slowly, I'll wait here for a while." Makoto Kyushu casually opened one of the books, "Introduction to Psionics: Exploring the Mysterious Power of the Soul", drank juice and read it.

The usher bowed slightly, and walked towards the warehouse again.

Taking advantage of the waiter's efforts to help him find books, Kyushu Cheng slowly read to kill time.

"Every living thing has a soul, and the power contained in the soul is called spiritual power."

This book is mainly to help newcomers who have just entered the occult industry such as soul scavengers or occultists, and it reads a bit like a science textbook that Makoto Kyushu read in college in his last life, although the book has been explained in as much detail as possible, but it is still obscure.

Fortunately, Eliza has told herself about some important knowledge in the book.

After only reading four or five pages, Kyushu Makoto felt his eyes sour - no wonder many soul remover have failed to reach the second level in their lives, talent is not good is only one aspect, and more importantly, reading these books is simply too torturous.

But then again, Eliza seems to have passed the exam in just a day or two after her points reached the promotion criteria. Presumably, a person like her, who was born into a family of soul-scavengers, must have received this kind of education since she was a child, and maybe she was reading this kind of book when she was a teenager.

Kyushu Makoto closed the book, but the receptionist at the front desk had not returned, and he was probably still in the warehouse to help him find the book.

"Young man, I'm watching the fourth edition of "Introduction to Psionics"~"

An old, leisurely voice came from behind him.

Makoto Kyushu looked back and found an old man in a light blue kimono standing behind him, looking at the book in his hand with a kind smile.

The old man walked on crutches, and his body, shrunk by age, was as short as a dwarf. However, his complexion looked refreshed, and old age did not make him languishing.

"Hello, I've just started reading this book today." Kyushu Cheng didn't know what the other party's purpose was for talking to him, but he still flattered politely:

"You must be a very qualified soul slayer, right?"

"Haha, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning~" The old man was obviously a little happy to be praised, and laughed hoarsely a few times:

"Anyway, I'm an old man, you young people are the future~"

"Please don't say that, maybe you will grow old and strong, how can we young people put on a show in front of you." Kyushu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and laughed along:

"Sir, do you have any advice?"

"The book you read "Introduction to Psionics" just came out with its fifth edition last week, and it is more suitable for newcomers to get started than the fourth edition." The old man touched the white stubble on his chin and said slowly:

"A lot of receptionists don't know about it, so I'm going to find you a fourth edition of the book."

"Oh? Is this really the case? Kyushu Makoto glanced at the book in his hand and said in surprise:

"Thank you, old gentleman, for informing me, I'll go to the front desk and ask."

"It's okay, it's okay, and I also have a part in the writing of the fifth edition." The old man smiled again and said modestly:

"If there are any shortcomings, please also ask for more opinions. Today's young people are better than blue, and I need to listen to your thoughts more. ”

"So it's your book?" Kyushu Cheng was taken aback: "Dare to ask the old man's name?" ”

The old man was just about to open his mouth with a smile, when he saw a man in a Sven suit wearing gold-rimmed glasses walking quickly to the old man's side and bowing forty-five degrees in a standard manner:

"President, you're here."

“… President? Makoto Kyushu was stunned for a moment.

"I'm talking to this young man." The old man said to the man in the suit next to him:

"This young man is really good, he is polite and motivated, hahaha~ Sure enough, young people are the hope of society~"

Under the personal escort of the man in the suit, the old man slowly walked towards the internal office area.

"President..."Makoto Kyushu opened the title page of the book, and there was a photo of the old man hanging on it, and at the bottom was a large introduction:

[Special thanks to: Masahiro of the Northern Temple]

[The cornerstone of the supernatural industry in Wano Country, the founder and first president of Onmyoliao, a famous writer and translator, has created and translated hundreds of supernatural-related books in his career... has made an indelible contribution to the establishment and development of the occult industry in Wano Country...]

"Mr. Hongzhong, the book you want has been found." The receptionist trotted over with a book in his arms:

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"Thank you," Makoto Kyushu took the book and handed over the "Introduction to Psionic Studies":

"Excuse me, can you help me change this book to the fifth edition?"
