Plane Small Bookstore [System]

It was Victor's idea to open a bookstore that can fulfill people's wishes.

Under the control of Lejing, it is difficult for him to trade with humans to harvest high-quality souls. In many cases, he uses the souls of executed prisoners to satisfy his hunger.So he racked his brains to come up with this solution.

"I can apply a magic to the bookstore, so that it can only appear in front of people who have a strong desire in their hearts and want to realize it!" The black cat raised its chin, its tail was raised high behind it, and its golden cat eyes were full of cunning. It means: "According to the principle of equivalent exchange, as long as they give their souls, I can realize their wishes that are absolutely impossible to achieve by themselves. It's fair, right?"

Le Jing sighed, knowing that it was his limit to control Victor for so long, just like he couldn't force a wolf to become a vegetarian.

So... "Okay. Let's open a wish bookstore." He smiled and nodded in agreement.

With him watching, at least the transaction can be guaranteed to be relatively fair.Since ancient times, what you want to gain is what you lose.After learning the price, if the customer who enters the store still chooses to give his soul to realize his wish, then he will not stop him.

This is their choice, and every adult is responsible for their own choices.

Victor opened his eyes wide, he didn't expect Le Jing to agree so readily.After a brief surprise, he hugged Le Jing's thigh almost obsequiously, and said sweetly, "I knew you were the best! I'm your favorite cat, right?"

Le Jing smiled: "...No." He replied solemnly: "My favorite cat is a Maine Coon cat, you are too small."

Victor immediately frowned, "I'm so small! I'm big!" As a male, he felt his dignity was offended!

It was rare for Le Jing to pause for a few seconds before realizing Victor's meaning. He tapped the black cat's forehead speechlessly, and sighed: "...you can shut up."

……

After obtaining many books with mysterious power from other planes, Le Jing was thinking about how to use them.Different from ordinary books, many of these books already have spiritual intelligence, and some of them are even inhabited by extraordinary creatures. They all expressed to Le Jing their desire to find a new owner, so what should they do? Dealing with them really embarrassed Le Jing for a long time.Now that Victor's proposal inspired him, why didn't he take the opportunity to find the owners of those books in the help store?

As for whether the person who gets the book will use the power of the book to do bad things... Le Jing is not a god, and it is impossible for him to predict the future thoughts and choices of the book owner.If these books are regarded as scourges and sealed up just for the possible evil events in the future, so that those who are really good people cannot get help, then it is really a waste of food because of choking, and it is foolish.He always believes that the book itself is innocent, just like knowledge itself is innocent, and those who are guilty are those who use knowledge to do evil, and such people naturally have laws to punish them.

Therefore, besides selling books, Kaiming Bookstore has an additional task, fulfilling the wishes of those in need and finding book owners for the books in the store.Most of the time, the wishes of the guests who come to ask for help can be fulfilled through the books with supernatural powers in the store, and only when the books in the store can't do anything, Victor's demon contract will come in handy. use.

For those who are desperate enough, the immediate predicament and future happiness are of course more important than the invisible and intangible soul after death.

In the early morning of this day, Lejing just opened the store not long ago, and was sitting in front of the counter carefully reading "Growth and Trees in the World".This is a book written by Mr. Wang Zengqi, which contains dozens of proses written by him, including his recollections of old people and travel experiences.

It was in this situation that Victor's excited voice rang in his ears: "Lejing, a guest has appeared!" The black cat's eyes lit up and said: "Get ready!"

As soon as the black cat finished speaking, the low-key and simple decorations in the store faded away like washing, and the bookstore instantly lost its edge and seemed boundless.Wisps of milky white mist spread in the room, and the tall mahogany bookcase was slowly hidden in the mist.Overhead is a brilliant starry sky, and the gorgeous Milky Way is as beautiful as a refreshing dream. Meteors from afar cut through the velvety night sky and disappear into the mist on the horizon.The bright and clean white marble floor reflects the dotted sky, and the two reflect each other.

The counter in front of Le Jing turned into a huge light tree, which was an illusion made by Le Ling using the world tree on a planet called Chu in the universe as a template.Each light leaf on the World Tree on the first star represents a world. It is obviously a civilization that spans countless light years, but it coincidentally conforms to the artistic conception of "one flower, one world, one leaf, one Bodhi" in Buddhism on Earth. .At this time, under the blow of the wind simulated by Le Ling, the light leaves fluttered and fell to the ground.If it is in Chuxing, it means the fall of countless worlds.

What a wonderful and magical world it was.How vast and boundless the universe is, he can only glimpse a corner in his entire life.Thinking of this, he felt real sadness in the great sense of happiness.

So no matter what, he was going to see it.

Because the universe is out there, waiting to be explored.

At the request of Le Jing, Le Ling designed the set in the bookstore using some planets as templates.The main purpose is to improve the sense of mystery and authority of the bookstore, and win the trust of customers faster.

Le Jing reluctantly put down the book in his hand, turned to look at the taciturn half-elf: "Kaines, make tea for the guests."

Keynes responded and left.

"Here we come!" Victor's eyes lit up, and he immediately summoned a cloud of black mist to envelop himself, and sat on the counter reservedly to pose, trying to create an unpredictable cat design.Le Jing glanced helplessly at the playful cat, waved his hand, and the store door slowly opened. He smiled and said to the customers who stood hesitantly outside the door: "Welcome, please come in."

In came a downcast looking woman.She looked about 40 to [-] years old, with a dry and yellow complexion, heavy dark circles under her eyes, greasy hair sticking to her forehead like weeds, and the clothes she wore were shabby and shabby, and they didn't fit well.

This is a low-level woman with very poor economic conditions, Le Jing made such a judgment.

"What is your wish?"

Yan Xiaoshi walked in as if sleepwalking, as if embracing the stars of the universe for a moment.In the center of the universe is a huge tree of light, with luxuriant branches and leaves. Each light leaf has a magical and eternal immortal artistic conception. Yan Xiao only feels an inexplicable shock and touch in his heart.There is a simple wooden table under the light tree, and a cloud of black mist hovering on the wooden table reveals an ominous meaning.A handsome young man was sitting at the front of the table, looking at her with a smile.

The moment she saw the young man, an adjective appeared in Yan Xiaoshi's mind: a gentleman is like jade.Youth is like white jade placed in a museum, wrapped in thick patina, shining warmly through time and years.But after seeing the star-like eyes of the young man, she quickly overturned her previous thought - this is no white jade, it is clearly a star, the same star as the star above her head.

She was stunned for a while before realizing what the young man said just now—"wish?" That's right, he was asking her about her wish!

The young man sitting under the magical light tree under the starry sky was asking her for her wish... It was as if a god stretched out his hand to her from the clouds, as long as she said her wish, it would surely come true!

She was trembling with excitement, knelt down and kowtowed to the young man: "Please save my son, please cure his illness, I can give him my life, I only hope that he can recover, Live this life without worry or disaster!"

Le Jing was stunned and had no time to stop the woman's big gift, and then heard her request, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In the twenty years of his life, he has encountered countless parents who are like women, but every time they bring him the same sigh.In this world, there are parents who want him to die like his parents, and parents who love their children like women. There are thousands of people and thousands of faces.It is precisely because there are such good and loving women in this world that he will not completely lose hope in human nature, and he wants to protect these lights as much as possible.

Because, ah, he likes humans the most.

Before he could help the woman up, Victor, who was wrapped in black mist in front of the table, said in a playful way: "Sign a contract with me, and I will fulfill your wish."

Yan Xiaoshi raised her head in ecstasy, staring at the weird black mist eagerly, her eyes were desperate and lonely: "Okay, as long as you can realize my..."

"It's still too early to make a decision." The young man helped her up from the ground, and said with a light eyebrow: "Perhaps you can take a suitable book from my store to fulfill your wish."

"Lejing!" Victor protested loudly, "We agreed!"

The young man called Lejing by Hei Wu glanced at Hei Wu lightly, his eyes were undeniably majestic: "I don't remember what I promised you."

Victor choked, of course he did not ignore the warning in the young man's eyes, he understood that this was the young man's decision, he was not qualified to question it, the only thing he could do was obey.

"Tea, please." The arrival of Keynes undoubtedly broke the somewhat rigid atmosphere at this moment. He put three cups of steaming black tea on the table, and then turned into green smoke and disappeared without a sound.

Yan Xiaoshi's gaze became even more awe-inspiring, and she already regarded the two of them and Hei Wu as gods in legends.In her opinion.Only the gods in mythology can have such means.

After the young man took a sip of black tea and put down the delicate porcelain bowl, she said nervously, "The book you just mentioned can fulfill my wish...?"

With a wave of his hand, the young man dispersed the dense fog, revealing a dozen bookshelves in the depths.He nodded at her with a pleasing elegance: "Go and choose a book inside, maybe it can help you realize your wish."

All the books are suspended in the air in the interlayer of the bookcase, emitting colorful light, just like the stars gathered here.The light had an inexplicable attraction, Yan Xiaoshi lost her words as if she had been bewitched, and walked slowly towards the bookcase.

The voice of the young god came from behind, and to Yan Xiaoshi at this time, the voice seemed to be in another world:

"Remember, you didn't choose the book, but the book chose you."

Everything after that was as vague as a dream to Yan Xiaoshi.She only remembered that she was in front of a bookcase and seemed to have said a lot, and then a pure and clear voice suddenly sounded in her mind: "Your wish will be fulfilled by me."

Then when she regained consciousness again, she found that she was in a long street full of traffic, surrounded by thousands of people and faces, and the stars, the trees of light, the gods, and the glowing books were all gone.Just like Chunyu Fen's sleepwalking in Dahuai Anguo in the history books, everything that happened just now was as absurd as a modern version of Nanke Yimeng.

Is it a dream?

'It's not a dream. The holy voice sounded directly in her mind: "I am the guardian angel of the "Psalm" you took away, and my singing has the power to heal all pain and diseases."I can help you realize your wish. '

Yan Xiaoshi was stunned, and after a while, regardless of the fact that it was a busy street, she knelt down and cried loudly, kowtowed again and again to the air under the surprised eyes of passers-by, and said, "Thank you... Thanks!"

Facing the bright sunshine, the embarrassing old woman smiled with tears in her lips, that smile was gentle and holy like an angel.

At this time, the bustling mortals would not know that an angel had descended on an ugly and humble mother on the noisy long street.

Because, angels are only attracted to angels.

"Mom!" The lively and healthy teenager was wearing a football jersey, standing on the green field with a big smile and waving to Yan Xiaoshi in the stands.

Yan Xiaoshi extended her arms and waved vigorously to the boy, with a satisfied smile on her lips.

The woman on the platform had a slim figure, fair skin like a young girl, long black and thick hair hanging like a waterfall around her waist, and a long white skirt swaying gently in the breeze. She really looked like a different person from five years ago.

Five years have passed since that day, during these five years, just as she hoped, her son is as evergreen and undefeated as the pines and cypresses.A disease declared terminal by mortal medicine is nothing to a Guardian Angel.

As if by magic, since that day, everything that happened to her in the bookstore was covered by a layer of white mist, and she couldn't remember the faces of the gods, but the lingering touch was not there. Did not disappear like her memory.On the contrary, it becomes fresher and thicker with time.

In Japan, there is such a myth and legend called Shenyin.It means "being hidden by gods and monsters" and being entertained by them, thus disappearing from human society, and their whereabouts are unknown.The most famous of these is the story of Taro Urashima.A poor fisherman named Taro Urashima was brought to the Dragon Palace by the Dragon Girl to entertain him because he saved the tortoise. Looking back, it has been a hundred years.

Yan Xiaoshi thought, that day she met the legendary Shenyin.

The woman smiled brightly at the young man running on the field, they met such a god.
