Chapter 45

After Lin Jie sent Lao Wang away, he took a copy of "The Interpretation of Dreams" from the bookshelf, and sat back in his chair to read it slowly.

This book is Freud's masterpiece and the foundational work in the field of psychoanalysis.

It is very famous, but at the same time, due to the limitations of the times and the reasons of the pioneering work, many theories have been overturned by brain science, and there is a lot of controversy about its content.

Looking at this book now, what I learn is a way of thinking and a perspective of looking at things.

This book's view of dreams is that dreams are the disguised fulfillment of unconscious desires and childhood desires.

A dream is a true dialogue between a person and his own heart, a process of learning from himself, and another life that is closely related to himself.

He had roughly read this book a long time ago, but because of the dream he had recently, he wanted to review it on a whim.

Lin Jie flipped through it for a while, thinking that if he was idle, he was idle, whether he should take out other related books and read it again.

The door of the bookstore was pushed open.

Ok? What kind of wind is blowing recently, why are the guests one after another, just like making dumplings.

But having said that, it seems that this change probably started when Lao Wang sent the gargoyle that day.

Could it be that this gargoyle not only has the meaning of blessing to exorcise evil spirits, but also has the meaning of feng shui for attracting wealth?

Tsk, this old king is really, borrow books as soon as he borrows them, and give him some souvenirs.

This is a very busy day compared to the past, and even the days when reading is often interrupted, he is really helpless...

Law refused.

More please!

Lin Jie put down the book in his hand, put on a standard business smile, looked over and said, "Welcome, do you want to borrow books, read books, or buy books? If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime."

"Any questions are okay?"

The woman who pushed the door in had a very gentle and pleasant voice.

As far as Lin Jie could see, the new guest really had the same gentle and amiable appearance as her voice.

Amazing beauty, fair skin, emerald green eyes like rippling blue waves, and that head of shining blond hair, as soon as she appeared, it seemed that the entire dark bookstore brightened up.

Then Lin Jie's eyes fixed on her ears, the pointed and slender ears really couldn't be ignored.

Looking further down, the long white robe she was wearing was especially like the toga robe of ancient Rome, with multiple folds that looked very elegant.

The overall shape, no matter how you look at it, seems to be a beautiful and elegant forest elf who has strayed into the world.

This...is this...

That kind of highly reductive cosplay?

Lin Jie's gaze was instantly filled with surprise and appreciation, and he also had a feeling similar to "meeting an old friend in a foreign land".

The activity of cosplay is very common on the earth, and it can be traced back to ancient bards playing story roles.

In modern times, under the leadership of various cultural products such as animation, movies, games, etc., it is very prosperous and mature.

But in Azir, although there is also a TV entertainment industry, it is not developed in this area, and it lacks a more important subculture distribution center and leader.

Cosplay is still in the very primitive stage of "masquerade".

It's very difficult to see that kind of professional cosplay, it's a pity.

But the guest in front of him was obviously a professional one.

Not to mention the makeup technique, whether it is the appearance or temperament, it has achieved the restoration of the spirit of creatures like elves, which is really commendable.

For a moment, Lin Jie felt that there was a real elf in front of him.

And this romantic feeling of a beautiful blond elf breaking into a remote dilapidated bookstore in the middle of the pouring rain.

Miss Sister is very good at it.

Of course, realism is realism.

As a normal person, Lin Jie didn't feel that there was really an elf in front of him.

May I ask, how could real elves walk around in a big city like Nuojin so swaggeringly, aren't they afraid of being caught and displayed as rare species?

But then again.

Lin Jie felt that the format of Miss Sister's question was a bit familiar.

Thinking about it carefully, isn't this the same as Melissa, who was ignored by him not long ago... and enthusiastically recommended a set of May 3, and asked the same questions when she first came in?

What Melissa asked at the time was "Can I ask for anything?"

And the child's arm-wrestling proposal made Lin Jie understand that some guests are really wild and unruly, always thinking of making troubles.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Jie changed "Is there anything you need" to "If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time".

Won't you have to repeat the old tricks today?

The last person who did this had already taken away half a set of Wusan with satisfaction. I don't know what this guest will gain today.

Lin Jie was full of anticipation in his heart that he would bring happiness to the customers, and kept smiling: "Of course, as long as it is within the business scope of the bookstore."

When Lin Jie was looking at the guest in front of him, Doris was also looking at him.

Doris wasn't pretending.

But he covered his tracks ahead of time.

In her mind, since the owner of this bookstore is omniscient, she must know that she will come to him.

At least you can know that there will be an elf coming.

If he shows surprise, then he doesn't even know this, what can he call omniscience, but a liar.

Doris thought, however, that he might appear calm or shocked.

But he didn't expect that the look in his eyes turned out to be surprise, appreciation and... nostalgia and affirmation?

Surprise and appreciation are easier to understand.

Judging from the fact that he wasn't overly surprised by the elf's arrival, he had to admit that he should have expected it.

A hunter like Ji Zhixu was also shocked when he opened his eyes and saw the elves.

But oddly enough are the two emotions of nostalgia and affirmation.

Doris is familiar with this kind of nostalgia, because only the longevity species can have this kind of deep nostalgia that transcends time and space.

However, the one in front of him is clearly a human being.

And what is even more incredible is the affirmation... the kind of affirmation that seems to be affirmed by the senior to the junior.

What could make a human look at an elf, with that gaze?

Doris looked around, but found nothing abnormal except for the gargoyle, so she continued to sense the entire bookstore with ether.

Including the owner of the bookstore himself, he seems to be just an ordinary person...

But when she walked to the counter with some doubts and sat down with a smile on her face, when she saw the owner of the bookstore at a close distance, her pupils suddenly constricted, and she could hardly restrain her astonishment.

Although the appearance looks ordinary, if you are sharp enough, you will find that this young man's teeth are a little closer than the average person.

Absolutely.

Doris was sure she didn't feel wrong.

According to this density, the owner of the bookstore has a total of forty teeth.

It's not a disease, it's not fake, it's an absolute violation of human physiology.

He is not human!

But what exactly is there, she can't make a judgment for the time being...

"As long as it's within the business scope of the bookstore..."

Doris repeated it, and a new idea came to her mind.

Assuming that the owner of the bookstore really possesses the ability of omniscience as the hunter said, maybe the price he paid for only being able to operate in the bookstore?

An ancient unknown existence, with the appearance of a human being and the heart of a long-lived species, has gained great power but lives in a corner, and all the past is hidden under the ordinary.

So, is that affirmation because he once knew someone from the Iris family?

Doris was thinking about it when she suddenly discovered that the ether flowed back, bringing the original breath from the second floor of the bookstore!

this is……

The breath of the original witch Ms. Silver, the name engraved in the soul of the Iris family is trembling!

Her dreams had stopped here!
