Chapter 288

Luoer Resources newly built a shopping mall, Tulip Bookstore.

The shop has just been renovated, and there are still some waste materials piled up at the door, and inside the door is a pile of cardboard boxes full of second-hand books, which looks a bit sloppy.

Also because this second-hand bookstore has just moved in, there are not many valuable items in the store. As for valuable second-hand books, they are locked in the cabinet.

Therefore, Theodore, who had just left not long ago, did not expect that a gray pigeon with red eyes, which was resting on the roof with its back feet, would fly into the Tulip Bookstore shortly after he had left, and made two "coo-coo" calls. , became human.

And in the shadow under the pigeon's feet, a black figure also "raised" and then changed into a human appearance.

Of these two people, one was wearing a gray robe with a hood, his pale hair was messy, his face was sullen, and he was holding a short golden cane with a wolf's head in his hand.

The other one was wearing tight black clothes, even his face was hidden in the darkness, his wrists and ankles were all bandaged, and his hands were wearing sharp metal finger cots. There are rows of daggers, and three black swords of different lengths are crossed and fixed behind the waist.

If there were people from the Truth Society here, they would surely recognize that these two were extraordinary criminals and notorious mercenaries on the reward list.

The former one, named Wallis, was a panic-level druid from the Sapir family with a wolf as a totem, and was good at summoning and transfiguration.

The latter one is a notorious "shadow assassin" named Louis, who has assassinated destructive killers and is extremely good at stealth.

Wallis glanced at the cardboard boxes in the Tulip Bookstore, and said, "Not here, we seem to be late."

Louis didn't say a word, and walked to one of the opened boxes in silence, staring at the traces that had been searched.

Wallis also came over, raised his cane and waved it, a light blue light appeared in his eyes, lowered his head, and said, "He went out, with that book."

He followed the light blue remaining footprints extending from the cardboard box to the outside, and looked up to see the old bookstore across the road.

"Then... it seems to be a bookstore too?"

Wallis was a little hesitant. He had vaguely heard rumors about an unnamed bookstore in this area, but there were not many, and there was no substantive news, and most of them were exaggerated and unbelievable.

However, many people who coveted the target book were a little afraid because of this, and did not dare to do it.

Moreover, the spies he placed in the family had heard something about the witch in the Chapman family. It is said that she was able to possess such abilities because of the support of the bookstore.

This made him hesitate.

"Why don't we just wait here, wait on the sidelines, wait until he comes out, and then catch him for torture..."

As soon as Wallis made such an opinion, Louis next to him sneered: "Are you sure he will still have a book in his hand after he comes out?"

"this……"

Wallis frowned, thinking to himself, could it be that you want to go directly into that bookstore to grab it?

In case that bookstore is really as rumored...

"You have no choice." Louis turned into a black shadow again and merged into other shadows: "Don't forget, the task assigned to us by the organization is to get that book. If you don't finish it, you know the consequences."

His voice was very indifferent, lingering in the air: "Besides, you let me down very much. It's completely a sign of weakness. The matter of letting you join the organization may have to be delayed."

Wallis wanted to say something, but saw Louis had already entered the bookstore.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he quickly turned into a dove again, and flew to the eaves of the bookstore, just in time to see the shadow of Louis transformed into the shadow between the bookshelves, and lurked.

But immediately, the shadow suddenly seemed to boil...

It was as if someone was struggling violently inside.

...

Inside the bookstore, Lin Jie was thinking.

"Since this notebook can appear in the lower city of Nuojin and come to my hands, it means that the owner of the notebook has indeed come into contact with the other world. His research is not fake. The content of the notebook should be excluding those nonsense. True."

"Because of preconceived ideas and Azir's cultural chronology, I have never thought about why an almost completely different world still uses Chinese characters and English as the language, and even the details and structure of the characters are the same as those on Earth. Not the slightest difference."

"so……"

Lin Jie looked at the blood-stained notebook in his hand, his eyes were fixed: "My subjective consciousness has actually been tampered with since time travel?"

It's like opening the system settings and manually adjusting the language to "Chinese (Simplified)".

Refresh it, and directly "translate" a bunch of garbled characters into a language that you can understand.

And it is obvious that there is only one person who can easily complete such a "feat" that is extremely magical in the eyes of normal humans, and who has been "assisting" Lin Jie...

Xiao Hei?

Lin Jie raised his eyebrows, raised his head subconsciously, looked over Theodore's shoulder, and saw in the middle of the bookshelf opposite, in the shadow of the narrow slanted gap, after a while of squirming, suddenly there was a dark and fuzzy shadow with only the upper body.

It was as if there was an invisible person standing there.

At this moment, the shadow nodded politely, then raised its hand and waved it left and right.

It's like saying "you're welcome".

So that's the case... Is this also a time travel benefit?

Lin Jie thought about it for a while, and felt that he understood what Xiao Hei meant, and his expression eased a little.

Also... If he could not understand the language after time travelling, his situation three years ago would be many times worse than before. Not to mention selling books to make a living, even communicating with others would be a problem.

Although it is not like the owner of this note, because of the lack of users of the language itself as a communication sample, he has repeatedly walked into a dead end, resulting in complete misunderstandings, and he did not know what he was studying for a long time.

But at least it may take more than a year to communicate without hindrance.

In the past, he often complained that Xiao Hei, the instigator, would kill him but not bury him. After his wish was fulfilled, he was allowed to travel to this world and then disappeared without even giving an explanation or a goal that required a price to pay.

This made Lin Jie think that the price for realizing his wish was "exile to another world".

But I didn't expect that the "after-sales service" had already been given.

I blamed you wrong, Xiao Hei!

And thinking about it more carefully, the language of Earth and Azir did not understand, that is to say, those books he brought over, in fact, his customers should not understand at all.

But in fact, not only did they understand it, they even had a good chat with Lin Jie.

This shows what?

This shows that Xiao Hei not only adjusted Lin Jie's language system, but also adjusted the display text of his books, so that people from other worlds can understand it, making it easier for Lin Jie to sell books.

Really thoughtful and meticulous...

Lin Jie suddenly realized, and showed a knowing smile.

However, why do I always feel that Xiao Hei is a little bit fatter today than before?
