The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1155 Professor (25)

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about." Schiller lay on the desk with his upper body lying on the desk, holding the phone in one hand and propping his face in the other, and said leisurely to the other side: "You mean, did someone plagiarize my thesis?" ? What publication did he publish it in? I'll write a letter."

"... homicide?" Schiller blinked his eyes in doubt, but then, he switched the phone to one hand, took out a ledger from the side with the other hand, and said to the other side: "If Normally, I'd love to go and have a look, but I've been a little busy recently, and my bookstore is busy getting stock."

"What? Don't you know? I opened a bookstore on No. 8 Avenue, which is the Lihen Bookstore at the corner of the alley. Today is the first day of opening. However, since you are very busy, I will Forget about the fact that you didn't come to join us on the first day..."

Hearing what Bruce said over there, Schiller frowned, and then said: "I have a little impression of the mysterious V you mentioned. He sent me a pig's ear and a painting with strange patterns. A small card, but I have to finish the job at hand first, after all, detectives are only part-time jobs, and in Gotham, doing this job can’t fill your stomach.”

"Don't worry, I believe you can make some substantial contributions to the law and order of Gotham in addition to going to scenic spots to act as humanoid sculptures. Why don't you start with this case?"

"...No time to write a paper? It's okay, your adopted son had such a serious accident, you can put aside the schoolwork first, and you can send the leave slip to the bookstore or the Rodriguez Manor. After I sign it, Send it back to you."

"What? Oh my god! You really misunderstood me!" Schiller turned sideways, propped the elbow of the hand holding the phone on the table, and said with some dissatisfaction: "In your opinion, Am I that unkind?"

At this moment, Schiller heard the tinkling wind chimes coming from the door of the bookstore, and the creaking sound of the door hinge when the door was pushed open. He covered the phone receiver and shouted loudly: "Harry, who's here?"

"How do I know?" Harry also yelled, and responded, "It's an Englishman with a top hat... What did you say your name was? Constantine? That's interesting, has anyone ever told you? Your personality It looks weird."

Holding a stack of books and stuffing them into the bookshelf, Harry stared at Thomas who had just opened the door with piercing eyes. Thomas was chilled by his gaze until Schiller pushed the door and came out.

Schiller walked up to Thomas, shook hands with Thomas, smiled and said, "You are finally here. The first batch of books hasn't been put on the shelves yet. Is there any news about the second batch of books?"

"Yes, I have ordered a rare collector's edition." Thomas seemed very happy, and the two passed through the commodity area composed of many tall bookshelves one by one, and came to the reading area next to the stairs leading to the second floor .

This is a small space formed by the stairs and the walls. The sides of the stairs and the walls next to them are inlaid with bookshelves filled with books. The floor is covered with warm-colored carpets. There are two single sofas and a sofa on the floor. A small coffee table.

"I believe that the guests will definitely not refuse to drink a cup of tea here." Thomas said, looking at the surrounding environment. He stretched his limbs on the soft sofa, rubbed the side of his neck with his hands, and said, "Europe The local book dealers are very difficult to deal with, and in the past few days, I have worn out my lips, and then I got these good products from them."

After finishing speaking, Thomas took out a book from the bag he was carrying and handed it to Schiller. He also took an identical copy. After opening it, he touched the pages and said, "This is not a book that only has a good cover. Junk goods, look at the paper thickness and printing quality, even if it is a hardcover edition, it is not inferior to some complete sets of collection books."

Thomas smiled and looked at Schiller. When Schiller looked at him, he found that he was very different from that rotten magician Constantine. His melancholy temperament did not come from a decadent life, but more like Yes, the sentimentality of literary and art workers.

Schiller shook his head lightly. He didn't know how Constantine did it. It seemed that after he split his soul in two, Thomas' soul left no trace of him. Simply incredible.

Suddenly, Schiller heard a commotion coming from the door of the bookstore. Both Schiller and Thomas stretched their heads to look around, trying to see what was going on. At this moment, Zatanna, who was dressed as a magician, rushed in. , and Harry followed closely behind.

"John... Oh, no, I mean Thomas, get out of here quickly! Just now I found traces of positioning magic in your residence, it is very likely that your former enemy came to you, come with me, I Take you to the shelter!"

Thomas widened his eyes, and then showed an angry expression. He looked at Zatanna and said, "You lunatic, how long are you going to follow me?! I have hid in Gotham, and I can't get rid of it." You?!"

Zatanna showed an extremely helpless expression. She looked at Schiller's puzzled expression, and after glancing at Thomas, she pulled Schiller behind the bookshelf, and said to him in a low voice, "Help me persuade him, This is not a joke, those mages really want his life!"

"He thinks you're a stalker?" Schiller asked.

"More than that, he thought I was his ex-girlfriend, and he was so attached to him that he chased him all over the world. He thought that I was a lunatic who was crazy about love...Damn John, when he comes back, I will let him know this arrangement My consequences!" Zatanna gritted her teeth.

Schiller showed a smile, and Zatana sighed, but then looked at Schiller, and said anxiously: "You also know how many people will be offended by John's style of behavior. It's not that no enemies came to the door before, but However, they were all resolved by him, but now, Thomas must not be able to deal with these matters in the wizarding world."

"Fortunately, I have a shelter in the spirit world, which is relatively safe. Recently, I have tried every means to get him there, but he just won't follow me. Those people have already chased me very close. If he doesn't leave, he will really It will be life-threatening!"

Hearing Zatanna's sincere words, Schiller also hesitated a little. After all, except for Zatanna, almost no one knew anything about the magic world. Thomas lost the ability to use magic. Facing those omnipotent evil magic Teacher, there may be real danger.

That being the case, it's better to let Zatana take him to hide for a while, so that the group of people think that Constantine has fallen, so that Thomas can have a peaceful life in the future.

Thinking of this, Schiller nodded, then turned back, intending to persuade Thomas, but before he could open his mouth, he heard a harsh "crash" from the door.

All Gotham people are familiar with this sound. It is the sound of glass being shattered. Zatanna, who has experienced many battles, reacted the fastest to this. She shouted: "Get down!"

Everyone bent down instinctively, and with a "bang", a huge fireball passed over everyone's heads and hit the wall of the stairs.

Zatana quickly turned around, pointed at the wall, and shouted: "Extinguish the fireworks!"

Then, she rolled to the side, hid behind the bookshelf, took off the top hat on her head, and swung forward vigorously, a large group of bats made of magical light flew towards the door.

Schiller pulled Thomas and Harry to hide behind the sofa. When he poked his head out to look, he found a few men in black robes standing at the door. Their hands were all condensed with the brilliance of magic. They were not ordinary people at first glance.

Thomas opened his mouth in shock, and he shouted loudly: "What was that just now, does magic really exist?!"

"Does this still need to be asked?" Harry replied immediately, her tone revealing excitement.

"Northern Mage Tower!" Zatanna came out from behind the bookshelf, stared at those people and said, "You are crazy! How dare you violate the rules of the magic world and shoot at will in the human world! You will be punished. Sanctioned!"

"Innocent little girl, the inheritance of your Zatanna family is almost extinct, what bullshit rules are you still talking about?!" The leading mage sneered.

"Will the elders let you behave like this!" Zatanna's tone implied a threat, she glared at the group of people and said, "Aren't you afraid of being judged?"

Unexpectedly, the person in the lead let out a smirk, and then said: "Do you think, without the support of the Presbyterian Church, how could we have come all the way here? Do you think you represent the will of the magic family? Big mistake! wrong!"

"Zatana, you naive and stupid woman!" An indifferent girl came from behind the leader: "Don't look at us with that kind of eyes, we are the warriors looking for a way out for the magic world, and you, They are the traitors!"

Before Zatanna could answer, the leader said: "All magic families have long had enough of paying a painful price. We are looking for a new way out for the magicians in the human world! As long as we can find enough powerful With the power, nature can get rid of those unfair prices forever!"

"Zatana, you can't stop us! How dare we come to Constantine? The Presbyterian Council has already issued a warrant for him. We need his soul and go to Gabriel in exchange for a way to get rid of the price!"

"Why don't you understand, that damned Gabriel is a deadly liar!!" Zatanna roared, "He has bewitched the members of the Presbyterian Church, and he has no way to get rid of the price at all, you group of damned fool!"

"I forgot to tell you." The woman spoke again, and her voice became colder and colder, making Zatanna feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave: "This time the wanted warrant is not only for Constantine, but also for you and your father." .”

"...What did you say?!" Zatanna asked in disbelief.

"Everyone knows that the Zatanna family does not need to pay for magic, but you never share this method with us, and watch us fall into pain, wives and children, you are the biggest enemy of the magic world!"

In the end, the woman's voice had changed, more like a crazy scream, staring at Zatana's face and said: "You will not be injured by magic, you will not age, you can It's not fair at all to have great power and enjoy the life of ordinary people!!!"

"You have been selfish for so many years, enough is enough. Don't you claim to dedicate your life to the magic world? Now, it's time to sacrifice your souls in exchange for the freedom of all mages!!!"

The voice fell, the brilliance rose, and in an instant, gorgeous magic lights and shadows erupted in the small bookstore, arcane, flame, frost, flicker, shield, magic wave, countless gorgeous tricks that opened the eyes of ordinary people , filling the entire room.

"God, did you just hear what she said? The wizarding world!" Harry screamed, she turned her head, stared at Schiller with fiery eyes and said, "You still have something to do with the wizarding world!" connect!"

Seeing the anticipation in Harry's eyes, Schiller's head started to hurt again.
