Chapter 84 Can I go to your house for Chinese New Year?
"Then can you go home and show it to me?" I gave the cheongsam woman a suggestion.
Only by knowing the identity of the missing husband can I further investigate what happened.
"But I have other things to be busy with. It would be a waste of time to go back and forth." The woman in the cheongsam said with a troubled face.
It's really not good to trouble others, so I had to frown: "Well, I'll take the time to visit your home later. Is your home located in Building 301, Jinxiu Building D?"
"Yes, how about I leave you a phone number? When you arrive, call me and I will open the door for you personally." The cheongsam woman suddenly took out her mobile phone with some enthusiasm.
After exchanging phone numbers with the cheongsam woman, I continued to comfort the cheongsam woman: "Then you go back now. Don't worry too much. Don't worry, I will try my best to help wherever I can."
After hearing my promise, the cheongsam woman didn't want to keep pestering me. She slowly stood up from the chair and walked out of the horror bookstore.
Somehow, looking at the disappearing figure of the cheongsam woman, I always felt that something was wrong.
"This woman's back looks a little relieved?" I muttered, then motioned Li Fansen to return to his post and continue his bartending work.
Carrying a black backpack, I entered the staff lounge holding the "Sichuan Mahjong Encyclopedia".
That's right, maybe I forgot for a moment, but the cheongsam woman didn't take away the "Sichuan Mahjong Encyclopedia".
Looking carefully now, I can see that this "Sichuan Mahjong Encyclopedia" is actually very shabby, and there are many knife marks on its shabby cover.
Immediately afterwards, I tried hard to review my memory and try to find the scene in my mind that sold the book.
But I tried hard for a long time, but couldn't find any memory: "There were very few people who came to buy books last month, just a dozen or so here and there, so it stands to reason that I should remember who bought this book."
"Is this book sold by Li Fansen?" Since the first store opened, I have occasionally delivered the bookstore to Li Fansen instead of sitting in the bookstore every day, so this book is most likely sold by Li Fansen.
, otherwise I would not be able to find any memory.
I immediately picked up the book and walked out of the employee lounge, asking about Li Fansen.
But Li Fansen's answer was that he had never seen this book, and he had never sold this book to anyone.
When I returned to the staff room again, I wondered for a while: "The square seal on the back of the book cover does not look like a fake, so this book should be from a horror bookstore. There is no doubt about it."
I don't know why, but every book that enters the horror bookstore will be strangely engraved with a square seal.
This square seal is completely blood red, with the words "Horror Bookstore" drawn inside.
It is difficult to fake a square seal, and no one is so bored as to fake it. After all, it is just an ordinary label, used to mark the source of books.
"After that husband got this book, he not only talked to the book, but also often went out late at night? How strange." I touched the square seal on the back of the book cover and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
But I didn't think about it for long before I was awakened by a burning sensation.
This burning sensation comes from the back, from the black backpack, it’s the code that reacts!
This familiar scene reminded me of the scene before the Snake Man Record mission appeared.
"Could it be that the trial period tasks have finally been updated?" I quickly opened the black backpack and took a look inside.
I saw a blazing fire light inside the dark bag.
As the blazing fire continued to sway, a strange laughter sounded in the employee lounge.
Jie, Jie, Jie Jie Jie,
"Sure enough, the code spontaneously combusted!" I quickly turned the black backpack upside down and dumped everything in the bag on the bed.
Among the scattered items, a book surrounded by firelight was particularly eye-catching.
Although the book was surrounded by fire, the fire on it did not appear to be dangerous because it did not burn other items but merely wrapped the book.
The book wrapped in fire was the famous "Horror Bookstore Management Code".
Perhaps noticing my gaze, the code in the firelight suddenly turned its pages automatically.
However, after only a few seconds, the automatic page turning of the code stopped abruptly and stopped at a certain page.
I lowered my head and looked at the page, and found that this page happened to be the content page of the code.
"Trial period tasks: 1 is added, please go to the corresponding page to view. After completing three trial period tasks, this option will be deleted to other options. Currently, 1/3 of the trial period has been completed (complete the trial period tasks, you can get points, etc.
Kind of reward) (corresponding page number: 6-9)"
After I read this line of text, the fire on the code disappeared instantly. I immediately picked up the code and turned the code to page 6.
A few lines of small red letters appear on page 6.
"Mission introduction (probation period mission): Why did the husband suddenly disappear on the eve of the divorce? Is the strange behavior before the disappearance really exist? Talking to the book, traveling late at night, various signs indicate that the husband has lost control, please find out the real reason for the disappearance of the husband."
"Task requirement (probation period task): If you want to know the secret of the supernatural, you must have extraordinary courage. Please bring "Sichuan Mahjong Encyclopedia" to Jinxiu Building of Southwest Campus before twelve o'clock tonight, and place it in Jinxiu Building
Survive until dawn."
"Task prompt: When you dream back at midnight, have you ever written a book quickly? With your dream lingering in your mind, have you ever thought about the essence of the book? If you have not put in the effort, you are not worthy of being the author of the book, let alone seeing the legendary ghost.
"
"Task completion reward (probation period task): Supernatural horn, Five Elements Basic Technique (incomplete), Corpse Skin full of resentment (choose one of three, no multiple choices)"
"Punishment for mission failure: erase the life of Liang Fan, the tenth bookstore manager of the Horror Bookstore, and re-select the tenth bookstore manager of the Horror Bookstore."
At the end of these lines of small red words, there is a square seal engraved as always, which means that this is indeed a mission issued by the Horror Bookstore.
"The new trial period tasks have indeed been updated, and they are related to the "Sichuan Mahjong Encyclopedia". I don't know whether it is good or bad." I looked at these lines of small red words repeatedly and remained silent.
"Forget it, I can't avoid it whether it's a blessing or a curse, so I'd better be fully prepared." I sighed slightly, then closed the code and put it back into the black backpack.
Fortunately, my current strength is not weak. Not only do I have the foreign object Li Yingyang and Shining dolls, but I also have the Yin Pupil enabled, which should increase my chance of survival during this trial period mission.
"This trial period task requires me to bring "Sichuan Mahjong Encyclopedia" and survive in Jinxiu Tower until dawn. This means that there are huge dangers hidden in Jinxiu Tower. I must be careful." I told myself secretly.
Throw "Sichuan Mahjong Encyclopedia" into your bag.
Immediately afterwards, I checked the black backpack.
When I find useful items such as a Shining doll, they are quietly lying in my bag.
When I got in, I couldn't help but smile happily.
The Shining doll has a total of three precognitive abilities. Even though I used it once in the horror trial, I still have two chances left, which is the biggest help I have.
"It's a pity that the blue ghost didn't listen to my call and refused to show up, otherwise I would have more chips." I shook my head and sighed, and began to speculate on the hidden information of this mission.
"From a literal point of view, the missing husband is probably staying in Jinxiu Tower, otherwise the code would not set the mission location in Jinxiu Tower."
"If the husband really stayed in Jinxiu Building, it is impossible that the cheongsam woman did not find her husband. What is going on?"
"Is that cheongsam woman lying to me?"
After some speculation, I came to a surprising discovery: "Even if the cheongsam woman didn't lie to me, she also hid a lot of things from me."
"What exactly did she hide from me? Is her husband's disappearance directly related to her?" With many doubts in my mind, I opened the door of the staff lounge and returned to the horror bookstore.
I looked at the skull clock on the wall and saw that it was only two o'clock in the afternoon.
"The mission requires me to arrive at Jinxiu Building before twelve o'clock in the evening. There is no need to worry. Let's find out who this Jinxiu Building is."
After making my decision, I grabbed my phone and searched for detailed information about Jinxiu Building on the browser.
After such a random search, I found some useful information.
This Jinxiu Building in the southwest suburbs was originally an abandoned building that was used to house some stray dogs five years ago.
The so-called resettlement is of course not simply freeing them, but killing these stray dogs in a concentrated manner to slow down the spatial environment in the West City.
There was no such thing as "euthanasia" at that time. All stray dogs were "beaten to death with sticks" without mercy.
So many stray dogs died under sticks that some people claimed on online posts that they had seen ghosts of vicious dogs appearing near Jinxiu Tower.
"So weird? It's fake." I immediately locked the post and checked the comments.
"Bamboo rats are sold. Bamboo rats are sold. Bamboo rats are sold. Bamboo rats are sold."
"Did you forget to put the period upstairs?"
"Brother, are you a novice? Others have experience in water."
"The water sticker is a temporary relief, the whole family crematorium."
"Cai Xukun, are you there? Remember to order takeout for me."
"Hello, I'm taking out food. What kind of food would you like, Xu Kun?"
"It's so beautiful upstairs, can I go to your house to celebrate the New Year?"
"If you want to be my dad, just say so. Why don't you come to my house to celebrate Chinese New Year?"
I read more than a dozen comments in a row, and they were all nonsense comments from which I couldn't get any useful information.
I simply clicked on the "View only the poster" function to see if the poster who posted the post had left a more detailed comment.
The poster’s nickname is “Rebirth 1949” and he seems to be a patriotic person.
Judging from the display, he only left one comment after posting.
"Attention all water friends, I really didn't lie to you. There are indeed evil dog ghosts near Jinxiu Tower. I have decided to go in and out of Jinxiu Tower to have a look."
"This poster has entered Jinxiu Tower?" I looked at the time this comment was posted and found that it was exactly two years ago.
