Midnight Bookstore

It was late at night, and the heat of the day had slightly receded.

But it brought an even more unfriendly news,

that was the power failure.

Because of the emergency repair of the circuit,

the power failure in this area of south street started at 12:00 p.m. and lasted until 5:00 a.m. , which could be considered as not affecting normal business activities to the greatest extent.

However, it was still hard to accept for the people who had their shops here and their homes here.

Many shop owners walked on the road, smoking, playing with their phones, or chatting with the people next to them. There was no air conditioner or fan in the house, so it was as stuffy as a steamer. They couldn"t stay in the house at all.

Qu Mingming and Qu Zhenzhen were the same. Each of them had a small stool sitting outside. They didn"t go to other places nearby with electricity to get a room for the night because the power came on at 5 am. The internet cafe was still open as usual.

Qu Zhenzhen added ice into the water and handed it to her brother.

Qu Mingming pointed at the bookstore opposite curiously,

“Aren"t they hot?”

Yes..,

the door of the bookstore was closed,

even the windows on the second floor were closed,

how could they stand it?

In fact, the people in the bookstore could stand it and were still very comfortable.

After the power went out..,

old Taoist and Xu Qinglang consciously hugged their mats and knocked on Bai Yingying"s door. When the two of them met at the door, they even looked at each other and smiled.

After Bai Yingying opened the door, she glared at the two of them.

Just now, she was playing a game and eating chicken. When she was about to enter the finals, she was wearing a level three armor, level three hair, and AWM G.o.d-like outfit. In the end, the power suddenly went out..,

this made Bai Yingying so depressed that she almost smashed the computer.

But when she thought about how the Boss had spent tens of thousands of yuan to equip this computer for her,

she couldn"t bear to part with it.

Because she knew that..,

for a person like the boss..,

spending tens of thousands of yuan to buy a game console for himself..,

this was a great favor and concession.

Old Taoist and Old Xu acted as if they didn"t see Bai Yingying in front of them. They leaned against the wall and laid down their mat as if they were very familiar with each other. Then, they laid down on it.

Xu Qinglang stretched his back. The injury on his shoulder had not recovered yet, but compared to the hot weather, the faint pain from the injury was nothing.

The old priest waved his cattail leaf fan and hummed a little tune. It was very relaxing.

The little monkey lay on the old priest"s stomach and stretched out its paw to count the number of ribs that the old priest had protruded out.

Bai Yingying pouted in dissatisfaction but did not say anything. She continued to sit on the bed and read her book “Self-cultivation of a maid”under the moonlight.

After a short while..,

the bedroom door was pushed open again,

the death attendant, who had changed into a new body, came in with a plastic basin. In the plastic basin was a cut watermelon.

The old priest immediately stood up and took the plastic basin from the death attendant with a smile. He first took out a piece and handed it to Xu Qinglang, who was lying next to him. Then, he took out a piece and chewed on it happily.

“Squeak squeak! ! ! !”

The little monkey shouted from below, as if he was very dissatisfied that the old Taoist had forgotten about him.

The old Taoist laughed twice. He took out a half-opened small watermelon from the basin and placed it in front of the little monkey. He also handed it a spoon.

The little monkey took the spoon,

he dug and ate the small watermelon,

he was very happy,

he also knew how to spit out the watermelon seeds and put them on a tissue paper without dirtying the floor.

The Deadpool did not eat them. Although he cut the watermelon, he found a chair and sat down. Occasionally, when a mosquito or fly pa.s.sed by, he would open his mouth and roll his tongue into his stomach.

He smacked his lips,

he had a look of enjoyment on his face.

The old priest ate the watermelon,

there was no pain from the mosquito bites,

there was no smoke from the mosquito incense,

there was also no noise from the air conditioner,

however, the temperature in the room was moderate because of the white oriole. It was a cool feeling in this summer,

phew..

It was so cool!

He compared it with his neighbors who were cooling outside,

there was a contrast,

he felt a sense of superiority,

he felt that he was even more comfortable now,

he wished that the electricity would continue to stop Tomorrow Night!

Xu Qinglang fell asleep first. The old priest covered his stomach with a blanket. Just as he was about to rest, he saw Bai Yingying suddenly get off the bed. She stood by the window and looked down.

“What"s Wrong?”

The old priest asked.

Bai Yingying pointed to the west side of the street through the window,

she said:

“It seems that a guest is coming.”

The old Taoist secretly cursed. Even during the blackout, a guest came to their door. How could they let people rest!

“The boss is not at home, and the Little Loli is not at home. Let"s pretend that we didn"t see it.”

Indeed,

the two ghosts were not there,

even if the guest came, they could not send him to h.e.l.l,

wasn"t this a waste of effort?

Bai Yingying shook her head and said, “He"s already down there.”

“So what if it"s down there…”

Before the old priest could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of the door opening from below.

F * ck,

i locked the door before coming up!

The old priest immediately got up and looked at Bai Yingying, asking again,

“It"s not a Ghost?”

Bai Yingying shook her head.

It was indeed not a ghost, but a real person.

There were three people, all wearing hats. One of them was holding a pair of pliers, and the other was holding a flashlight. After successfully picking the lock and entering, the one who picked the lock remained at the door, looking out and keeping watch.

The other two directly ran behind the bar counter and began to rummage through it.

These were three thieves,

they came out to steal while the power was out,

in fact, they had already noticed this place when the neighbors were outside cooling down. At that time, they only remembered that the door of this bookstore had been locked, and the windows were closed. There should be no one inside.

There might have been people living here in the past. At least, they should have left this place when the power was out today.

The reason was very simple. It was such a hot day, but they were still cooped up in the house. were they stupid?

Unless they had a zombie in their house to use as air conditioning.

Because of this, in the second half of the night, the neighbors all went back to rest. When there was finally no one on the street, the three of them quickly took action.

The lookout shouted to his two companions, “Have you found the money?”

“No money, d.a.m.n it, why is this bookstore so poor!”

“I found it here! There"s money here, there"s a stack of them!”

“Let me see.”

The companion with the flashlight shone the flashlight over,

the two of them were stunned.

The lookout immediately urged, “As many as there are, don"t be picky. It"s enough for us to take a bath and knock on the back.”

“No, this…”

“What is this? Eh, this stack is quite a lot. It"s not for nothing.”

“No, this is ghost money, not RMB.”

“What!”

“D * MN, is there something wrong with this bookseller"s brain? It"s fine if the shop doesn"t put money in, but they even put ghost money in. The owner must be a poor man reincarnated!”

“Go upstairs and see if there"s any money or valuables there.”

The Lookout urged his two companions.

Since they were here..,

there was no reason to return empty-handed.

The two immediately threw ghost notes on the ground and went upstairs.

Zhou Ze and Bai Yingying"s bedroom faced the stairs. The two thieves also pushed open the door of the room.

“Eh? Why is there air-conditioning in this room? Isn"t the power out?”

One of them asked in surprise.

It was extremely hot outside. Standing Still, sweat kept dripping out like a fountain. However, it was so cold and comfortable in this room that it made people want to cry out.

“Let"s find something first.”

The person holding the flashlight first came to the bedside and rummaged through the bedside cabinet. In the end, there was nothing in the drawer but a few books:

“The self-cultivation of a maid”

“How to make a man fall in love with You”

“The first step of a confident woman”

“An overbearing CEO: you can"t escape from my palm!”

“d.a.m.n it, be gentle!”

“d.a.m.n it, who is this? Reading such an idiotic book, is his brain damaged?”

The thief threw the book away,

he got up and was about to search again with the flashlight,

however, he found a shadow in front of him that disappeared quickly.

“Who is it!”

The thief immediately held the flashlight and searched back and forth.

“F * ck, why are you scaring me! There"s no one here, there"s only ghosts!”

His companion complained with some dissatisfaction,

he already had a “Guilty conscience,”but the person beside him was still shocked.

“No, I really…”

The person holding the flashlight couldn"t say anything,

because his flashlight shone at the corner of the wall,

there,

stood a woman in a white dress,

the woman"s skin was fair,

her face was pink,

her figure was slender,

if it weren"t for the two long fangs at the corner of her mouth,

he really wouldn"t mind adding another point to his job attribute,

from thief to criminal!

“This… this… this…”

The hand holding the flashlight,

trembled slightly.

However, just as he was about to shout out,

a woman who was several meters away from him suddenly appeared in front of him,

his neck was suddenly grabbed by the other party,

then,

the other party grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

His feet were off the ground,

the sharp pain and suffocation at his neck caused him great pain,

of course..,

no physical pain could compare to the shock in his heart at this moment!

From the corner of his eye, he noticed that his companion was still rummaging through the shelves looking for something,

he did not notice at all what was happening behind him,

he really wanted to remind his companion and the lookout below,

this bookstore..,

was really F * CKING haunted!

“F * ck, this computer seems to be pretty good. The monitor is very high-end, and the configuration of the mainframe should also be very high. What a luxury. Rich people.”.

“If I want to play a game of chicken, I have to go to an internet cafe. I Can"t bring a normal internet cafe computer with me, and the internet cafe is so expensive that it hurts my heart to play with it. F * ck.”.

Hey,

i said,

i Won"t take anything else. Let"s take the mainframe and the monitor back. I reckon that this can be sold for more than 10,000 yuan, and it"s still a bargain.”

“If you sell it, how can I Eat Chicken?”

“What chicken? I"ll take you to eat real chicken…”

The man just picked up the monitor,

his entire body froze,

because he just realized that..,

the person who asked him just now..,

was not his accomplice.

He turned his head in embarra.s.sment,

behind him..,

there was a cold and cold face smiling at him.

“You… you…”

“Did you say you won"t Let Me Eat Chicken?”
