After saying that, the middle-aged man smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation. He said no more and returned to his seat to sit down. Then he picked up a pen and started writing and drawing on a piece of white paper.
Seeing this, the four of them also glanced at each other, and then glanced at the middle-aged man for a few seconds. Seeing that he seemed to have no intention of talking to them, they immediately looked at each other and said nothing more.
"Let's go and have a look at the bookshelf. There are a lot of books here. Let's see what kind of books there are." The long-haired young man immediately suggested again: "You're already here, but you have to make sure you can't just leave like this."
The short-haired young man and the ponytailed woman also nodded when they heard this, although they felt that the last sentence the boss said was for late-night customers was a bit weird and mysterious.
But looking at the boss's polite manners, like a scholar who has read poetry and books, he doesn't look like a bad guy, and he also wonders if the boss is pretending to be mysterious to scare them.
Besides, I've already come in, and if I leave without taking a look, I'd really feel uncomfortable.
"Let's go, Siya, let's go take a look together. There are a lot of books on the bookshelf here. Let's go and see what kind of books there are. Haven't you always liked reading? Maybe you will find something you like."
The woman with the ponytail pulled back the short-haired, quiet and elegant woman with glasses next to her and said, "In fact, the short-haired woman was a little hesitant. She didn't know if it was her own misunderstanding. She always had a strange feeling from the moment she entered this bookstore.
, there will be a feeling of chills or goosebumps on the back from time to time. This feeling is like someone watching you from behind.
Especially when she heard the bookstore owner's words for late-night customers, she felt even more strange and uneasy when she didn't come. She wanted to leave, but seeing the appearance of her three companions, it didn't dampen their interest, so she immediately
I had no choice but to nod, thinking that just being careful would be enough. There were four of them anyway, so if something unexpected happened, they would be able to take care of each other.
Immediately, the four of them walked towards the bookshelf inside.
When the four people turned around and walked towards the bookshelf, the middle-aged man who was writing furiously with his head down slightly raised his head and glanced at the backs of the four people. He looked at the four people carefully for a while, as if he wanted to remember their appearance.
He glanced at his figure, then lowered his head again and wrote quickly, holding the pen in his hand and sliding it back and forth on the white rice paper.
"Shasha——" "Shasha——" "Shasha——"
Each stroke made a rustling sliding sound, and before long, the outlines of four simple characters appeared on the paper.
But it was the middle-aged man who was writing furiously, not writing, but drawing. He drew four figures, and it turned out to be a group of four long-haired young men who had just walked to the bookshelf.
After drawing the appearance of the four people, the middle-aged man did not start writing anymore. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the four people in the bookshelf alley. The look in his dark eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, the four of them had already arrived at the bookshelf inside and started browsing row by row.
There are many books on the bookshelf, including literary classics, historical encyclopedias, local magazines, prose poems, and anecdotes. The four of them are all university students. They are already literary youths, and they were quickly attracted by the various books on the bookshelf.
Attracted, I devoted myself physically and mentally to the books on the bookshelf, looking for the books I was interested in one by one, but I forgot my initial vigilance and uneasiness.
"Hey, come and read this book." Suddenly, after searching for a moment, the short-haired young man among the four who had never spoken much suddenly spoke, calling the other three.
Hearing the sound, the other three people immediately put down their things and rushed from other bookshelves to the short-haired young man.
"What's wrong?" the ponytailed woman asked, looking at the short-haired young man with the other two.
"This book." The short-haired young man took out the book in his hand, showed the cover to the three of them, and then asked with interest: "Do you think it is true?"
The short-haired young man pointed at the book in his hand and said, the cover of the book was wrinkled and yellowed and looked very old. The three characters "Hell Method" were clearly written on the cover.
The short-haired young man was a little curious. There have been rumors about ghosts for a long time, but whether there are ghosts or not is mostly an unsolved mystery for ordinary people, because few have seen it with their own eyes, and most of them have heard about it or learned about it from some rumors.
, the four young people are no exception. They have heard many legends about ghosts and ghosts, but they have never seen them with their own eyes.
The long-haired young man, ponytailed woman and short-haired woman next to them also had their eyes on the books.
"It must be fake."
The ponytailed woman thought for a while and the long-haired young man next to her also nodded in agreement, agreeing more with what the ponytailed woman said.
Most of them have heard about ghosts since they were children, and they have also heard about some ways to see ghosts, and they have also heard about wiping cows' tears, but most of them are just lies and nonsense, and they cannot be taken seriously at all. Short-haired
The woman didn't say anything and stood nearby, feeling a little scared and uneasy.
"Take a look first."
The short-haired young man spoke again and was about to open the cover. He was curious and wanted to take a look at the contents inside.
"Forget it, don't look at it now, it's getting late, let's go back first."
But at this time, the short-haired woman with glasses who looked quiet next to her spoke, her face turned pale, and interrupted the short-haired man's movements. She was actually a little scared. She didn't know why. She didn't know if it was because of her own inner feelings or something else.
, I always feel that there is always a chilly feeling behind me, I get goosebumps from time to time, and I always feel like there is always someone behind me.
The three of them seemed to have something wrong when they saw the short-haired woman, and they immediately looked at each other.
"Then let's go back first. Anyway, we came in to take a look. If you want to come, there will be time next time. It's really getting late tonight."
The ponytailed woman spoke first.
"Well, okay then, let's go back tonight."
The long-haired man nodded immediately.
"Well, okay, this book is quite interesting. I'll buy it and take it with me to read."
The short-haired young man said, somewhat curious about the content of the ghost-seeing method in the book in his hand.
Immediately, the four people left the bookshelf alley and walked towards the door.
When he came to the counter, the short-haired young man took out the money and bought the book with the word "Hell Law" written in his hand. Then before leaving, he looked at the middle-aged man and asked.
"Boss, are the things written in this book true? Can you really see ghosts? Are there ghosts in this world? You couldn't just write nonsense, right?"
The short-haired man asked the middle-aged man with a bit of curiosity and teasing.
"If you believe it, you have it; if you don't believe it, you don't have it."
The middle-aged man smiled when he heard this.
"This is the same sentence again, just like those Taoist monks."
The short-haired young man could not help but curl his lips when he heard this and said no more.
"Young man, I see that you are not a bad person. Let me remind you that you can read this book, but you must not experiment with the content and methods in it."
Seeing the short-haired young man pouting, the middle-aged man spoke again, with a somewhat warning tone.
"Don't test it. Could it be that the content here is still true?"
The short-haired young man who was about to go out couldn't help but paused when he heard this and looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man smiled and said nothing.
The short-haired young man's expression flickered when he saw this. He looked at the middle-aged man and then at the book in his hand. The middle-aged man said he didn't want to experiment, but it actually aroused his curiosity even more, wondering if there were still other things in this world.
There is such a thing as ghosts. The methods in this book are really ghost-like.
"Hanlin, let's go."
At this time, the other three companions who had already walked outside to the street began to urge me.
"Okay, here we come."
The short-haired young man immediately put away his thoughts after hearing this, responded, took the book and walked out quickly, and then the four of them left.
After the four people left, the middle-aged man also walked out from the bookstore counter and came to the door. Looking at the backs of the four people leaving, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly with an inexplicable smile, and then looked at a place on the street and said lightly.
"Just show up when you come, Bai Ban."
As he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew up, and on the street in the distance, a white figure slowly appeared. A middle-aged man wearing a white gown dressed as an ancient scholar, was none other than Bai Ban.
"Lu Pan."
Judge Bai also looked at the middle-aged man at the door of the bookstore and said.
But the middle-aged man was none other than Judge Lu who he was looking for on this trip.
