Chu Yao took the bag filled with books and walked towards the door of the bookstore.

The old woman supported her weak feet and walked towards the room deep in the bookstore.

She didn't want others to find her unbearable corpse, so she chose to sit in a corner where she could see the whole view of the bookstore, and quietly watched everything that was extremely familiar.

This was her last look at the bookstore. From the moment she got her destiny book, she knew that there would be a very long time in the future and she would have to spend it alone in the bookstore.

No one talks to her, and she is unaware of changes in the outside world. Every day's life is repetitive and boring.

Sometimes she wonders whether she is alive or dead.

Despite this, the old lady will still keep the bookstore clean and put every book in its proper place.

And today she finally met the person she was waiting for, and her life turned to the last page of the final chapter.

On the last page of the article where a distinguished visitor came, it was the date of her death.

When Chu Yao opened the door of the bookstore, she heard some strange noise coming from her ears, like a long wind whistling by, or someone sighing deeply.

She turned her head and saw that the glass windows of the bookstore were quickly dyed a waxy color due to aging, and were covered with a thick layer of dust. It was no longer possible to see the true face of the bookstore through the windows.

Only through the extremely small cracks in the door can something be glimpsed.

The bookcases in the bookstore were completely turned into rotten wood. The bright white paint just now fell off in large swaths. There were also many signs of being eaten by rats and insects. The books placed on them were naturally rotten.

The notice at the door was blown down by the breeze, and Chu Yao picked it up. It read, "This store is a silent bookstore. Please be sure to set your electronic devices to silent mode."

The next line was added with a ballpoint pen, "Note: Our store will be closed starting from tomorrow (September 2016, 9). Thank you for your love and support."

Her guess was indeed correct. This bookstore was isolated with magic. Except for the people that the old lady was waiting for to enter the bookstore, others would only think that it had been closed for a long time.

However, the current appearance of the bookstore does not look like it has only been closed for seven years, but more like half a century has passed.

Perhaps this is the price of blocking time in the bookstore. The time in the bookstore will stay on the day before the store closes. If someone breaks the stagnant state, the flow of time will accelerate.

Chu Yao weighed the key that the old lady gave her. It was a copper key, small and exquisite. The key handle was engraved with the same pattern as the bookstore's sign.

This is not the first time this pattern has appeared. It represents the organization from the future. Members of the organization will also engrave the pattern on their bodies as an honor.

She put the keys away, and just as she was about to put them into her pocket, the paper bag she was holding in her right hand suddenly broke.

After all, the paper bag is also an item in the bookstore. As long as it is taken out of the bookstore, it will age quickly.

The books placed inside were also damaged and scattered on the floor.

It was at this moment that Chu Yao suddenly discovered that only the pages of the children's books she bought had turned yellow, the paper had become brittle and thin, and even the wrapping paper had fallen off.

Only the two books the old woman gave her remained intact, seemingly unaffected by the passage of time.
