I saw Xia Yi's eyes wandering around the bookshelf, and after a while, he seemed to have found what he wanted.

He didn't rush to get it, but called the owner of the bookstore, asked the other party to take it off, wrapped it, and then left with two fingers to carry the package.

Qiao Du watched Xia Yi walk in the direction of the Grand Hotel in the Old City, he came to the bookshelf, glanced at it, and found that the bookshelf was full of works by a writer.

"Crazy Cabin" by Kiriyama.

"The Call of the Night" by Kiriyama.

"Wildcat", by Kiriyama.

These works seem to be, and tend to be scary, thriller, and eerie, and in Joe's view, they are somewhat out of place in the setting of this old city.

Qiao Du randomly pulled out a copy called "Stranger from a Foreigner", and as soon as she opened it, she only caught a glimpse of the catalog, and the bookstore owner on the side came over.

"Boss, if you like any of them, just tell me, I'll help you wrap it up, we don't have those charity jobs here."

What he meant was to tell Qiao Du not to stand and read in vain.

Qiao Du closed the book.

"We're not friends, don't see each other like that."

Soon, the bookstore owner's eyes became hazy, he glanced at Qiao Dui, and then sat back again, without asking any more questions.

[A book that depicts the real world, beware, the work is too real and easy for readers to be unable to distinguish reality! ] 】

In the field of vision, red text is imprinted on the title page.

Qiao Du simply flipped through it, and was quickly attracted by the content, and after reading it immersively for more than ten minutes, she almost forgot what she was here for before.

"It's very realistic, and it's almost catching up with me."

Qiao Du couldn't help but sigh, just like the ones she wrote based on real events, this book also gives people a similar feeling, and at the same time, the writing is even better, and it reads very smoothly, even if it is placed in Qiao Dui's world, it is enough to become a bestseller.

It's just that it doesn't have the blessing of [Ghost] like Qiao Dui, so there is no such weird magic between the words, which can make people immersed in it.

Even so, the treacherous, wonderful, and terrifying scenes depicted in it are still impressive, and one can't help but wonder when the author was discharged from the hospital.

"Boss, is this author famous?"

Qiao Du asked casually about the boss who was sitting behind the counter staring at his nymphomaniac.

"Of course, Mr. Kiriyama is a hot best-selling author nowadays, you can see that his works can be put together as a signboard, he is really a genius, he can create so many excellent works in just two years, ah, among them, I recommend "The Call of the Night", as long as you read this book, you can understand why he is liked by so many people."

The boss chattered and chattered a lot.

Qiao Du picked the key points and looked at the vacancy in the bookshelf.

"Which one did that guy buy?"

"Oh, it's The King in Yellow."

The boss replied without thinking.

Qiao Du pulled out an identical copy of "The King in Yellow" from the vacant position, waved it at the boss, and then left with the book under the boss's ambiguous gaze.

Since he wasn't allowed to stand here and watch, Qiao Du could only borrow it and watch it.

Some classmates may ask, isn't Qiao Du stealing books?

"How can the business of a scholar be considered stealing, and stealing a book is not stealing."

Qiao Twilight looked at the person who had stolen the things before and was gone, only a puddle of blood left on the ground, melting some frozen muddy water.

He returned to the Old City Hotel, and saw that it was already very lively, many guests in formal clothes were gathering in the front hall, even if Qiao Du didn't know any of them, just listening to their conversations, he could deduce that these people were all dignitaries and nobles in the old city, mayors, police chiefs, local squires, new wealthy businessmen, celebrities with solid family backgrounds, basically people who could talk here in the old city.

This is very understandable, Li Qing spent Chinese New Year's Eve here tonight, then those who want to tie him up naturally have to rub over.

It can be said that tonight the Grand Hotel of the Old City sits the rulers and rulers of the city.

In Qiao Dui's vision, the crimson words kept jumping out.

[Be careful, this guy is proficient in making all kinds of poisons, and even his own blood is highly poisonous, you don't want to bleed to death with seven orifices, right? 】

[He has a gun in his arms, within seven steps, fast and accurate, grow a few more eyes, otherwise it will be an eye-opener! 】

[Pay attention, this person has a very thick skin, don't try to hurt him with an ordinary sword, when the moment his neck is broken, you will regret it!] 】

Among them, there are many strangers with extraordinary abilities, and trying to cause trouble at this banquet is tantamount to killing themselves.

Qiao Du also probably came to some conclusions.

That is, most of the alien's extraordinary abilities come from acquired pollution, which leads to the fact that those rich people and rulers can loot the world and improve their extraordinary abilities, so as to strengthen their position.

A transcendent person like Li Qing can fight dozens or hundreds of people without much effort, and even firearms may not be able to break through his defenses.

Because of this, this world looks like the modern era in Qiao Dui's cognition, but the actual pattern is very different, and the effect of assassination is far greater than he originally imagined.

After all, if you can kill a transcendent, it can really change the political landscape in a certain area.

Not today, of course.

Qiao Du was not sure how much his [ghost] could affect these strangers, and he walked through the hall to see that Li Qing was surrounded by many people, and everyone was vying to slap him, and there was a commotion.

Li Qing naturally noticed Qiao Duan, and he nodded in greeting, which made many people notice this, after all, the person who can make Li Qing take the initiative to greet him must have an extraordinary identity!

“.”

As soon as those flattering glances came to Qiao Dui's side, they gave him goosebumps.

Flattery, desire, speculation, as if they are all "good friends" with themselves.

As a person with severe social phobia, Qiao Du is naturally not suitable for such an occasion.

He came to the side of the hall, next to the gramophone with a large brass horn.

I don't know if the gramophone is broken or not, it just stands there quietly.

Twilight leaned her ear closer to the speaker, as if listening to something.

Several people in the outer circle of the crowd around Li Qing noticed this scene, and they thought that they couldn't talk to the general, so at least they had to greet Qiao Dui, who Li Qing took the initiative to greet just now, so they came to Qiao Dui's side step by step, and didn't dare to speak directly, just looked at Qiao Dui and nodded solemnly and seriously, as if he had heard something very important.

But the gramophone wasn't working at all, and what did Qiao Du hear?

"What are you listening to?"

On the side, a man in a suit plucked up the courage to lean in and ask.

"Listen."

Jo Twilight put her fingers to her lips, made a silent motion, and gave up her position.

The man leaned his head over, but he didn't hear anything.

"Amazing, isn't it?"

Qiao Du suddenly said to the man, there is a posture that understands everything, and if you don't understand, I can't explain it to you.

The man was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled, as if he had thought of something, and soon showed a subtle expression and nodded.

"yes, that's amazing!"

He chimed in.

The people next to him looked at each other, and they didn't know what was wonderful.

Several people came over one after another, listening to the empty phonograph horn.

After a while, they were thoughtful, and one by one they also showed sudden expressions.

"yes, it's amazing."

"Wonderful, wonderful."

"It's amazing!"

A few people are talking about the "voice" they heard.

At this time, the man at first suddenly turned his head and looked for Qiao Dui's figure.

only to find that Qiao Du had already disappeared.
