Seeing his reaction, Jiang Ye thought he had found the wrong person.

"Oh, I found the wrong person." He said, turning around and looking the other way.

Kuroro burst out laughing suddenly, and said in a gentle voice, "You didn't make a mistake, because the name of our organization is the Phantom Troupe, not the tour group you mentioned."

Jiang Ye turned around, "So that's how it is." He only heard the little man say the word "tourist group", and he subconsciously associated it with "tourist group".

"Is there a place nearby where we can sit and chat? We can't stand all the time." Kuroro's words carried hints.

"That's right. I'm a little tired after shopping for so long. There is a second-hand bookstore in front of me. I just want to go and have a look." Jiang Ye raised his finger and pointed to the location of the store he mentioned, and walked there while talking.

Kurolo: "..."

How long have you been shopping?

That is to say, he is waiting for someone here, and the other party still wants to go shopping before coming to the appointment?

I really don't know what to say...

However, second-hand bookstores are also attractive to Kuroro who loves books.

They walked into the densely arranged second-hand bookstore one after the other. The bookshelves were almost full of books of various colors, most of which were yellowed and full of time.

The gap between the bookshelves can only accommodate one person to walk. Jiang Ye is thin, and he can't stretch his arms well when he walks in.

Strangely, Jiang Ye rarely saw good books in that world, and only the cancer patient's manuscript could capture his heart.

And this world is rich in all kinds of books, and only one bookshelf can make him stay for a long time.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet." Kurolo glanced at the books that he was not interested in for the time being, and then glanced at Jiang Ye, who was flipping through the pages one by one, "I'm Kuroro Luxilu, Phantom The head of the brigade."

Jiang Ye raised his head when he heard the sound, and thought for a while to convert the word "Jiang" into the word of this world, "I am Jiang Ye."

"So you gave up on your past self?" Kurolo still remembered that the other party asked to release the news of his death, which meant that the other party wanted to stay away from beating the enemy's family and the past.

"It's ushering in a new self." Jiang Ye closed the book in his hand, stuffed it back on the shelf, and continued to search the spines of other books.

"The new self... what is Jiang Ye going to do in the future?" Kuroro smiled noncommittally, and at the same time thought that even if a killer left the family, he could only live by killing people.

This world is like this, inborn talents will be with a person for the rest of his life, even though he can get rid of his native family, he cannot get rid of the skills he needs to survive.

As with killers, so with hunters.

But Jiang Ye told him a different answer without even thinking about it:

"Become a novelist."

"Oh?" Ku Luoluo couldn't ignore Jiang Ye's answer without thinking, and couldn't help being surprised, "Why would Jiang Ye want to write a novel?"

"Because only in this way can I feel that I am truly alive." Jiang Ye replied like this to everyone, as if only when facing the text, he would be the real Jiang Ye Xuezhen, not the lie Jiang Ye Xuezhen.

"I think Kuroro has the same characteristics as me. Maybe it's an illusion, but I just feel that you also like words, so you should be able to understand me."

Kuroro is very interested in the topic of books, so he answered the other party without hesitation, "Well, I like reading, especially ancient books, and I also like to collect them. Compared with my rare treasures, books have the same quality. status."

"However, if Jiang Ye really writes a work in the future, I still want to read it."

When Jiang Ye heard this sentence, he looked away from the book, and looked at Kuroro's face with a strange look, as if curious and questioning.

"really?"

"Really, I'm really interested in Jiang Ye's writing style and content." Ku Luoluo's expression was as soft as ever, with black hair falling above his eyelashes, and his dark eyes focused on the person in front of him, as if he was as kind as a brother next door .

But Jiang Ye knew that this was just an illusion he deliberately disguised, and he himself was a duplicity guy.

"I thought that Kuroro would inquire about my whereabouts while estimating the value of my continued existence, and finally stole my abilities together." It seems that what I said has been completely overturned because of Kuroro's answer.

Kuroro paused when he heard the words, and his eyes widened and his smile deepened, "It's because I'm the leader of the brigade, which made you too nervous."

"Nervous? I don't think so." Jiang Ye took a step to the right and continued to look for books. "Isn't this normal? You are a gang of thieves. As long as you want something, you will never miss it."

"And your hobbies are obviously collecting novelty things, and there must be some special ability to read among them, right?"

"Since Kuroro has said so, I might as well ask you a question."

"what?"

There was another book in Jiang Ye's hand. He opened the book and read it with his eyes closed. He raised his eyes after turning to a page of the text under the gaze of the other party, and raised the cover of the book to cover the lower half of his face.

"Are you trying to steal my mind ability?"

Kuroro thought that Jiang Ye had been guarding against him all the time, but this was normal.

He laughed in a low voice, before he heard Jiang Ye continue to say:

"sure."

"?"

"Don't you want my ability to read? I'll give it to you." Jiang Ye slowly put down the book covering his face, revealing a faint smile on his lips.

Kuroro blinked: "This is another 'reward' you said?"

Did you give away all your ability to save your life?

"No, I haven't taken out another 'reward' yet, but before I leave, I will hand it over to you."

"Hasn't Jiang Ye ever thought about the price of losing the ability to read?" Kuroro felt that this person had a clear mind and was one of the few people he wanted to know more about.

"It doesn't matter, just treat it as an experiment." How could Jiang Ye really give the other party the ability of thinking, what he wanted to give was the new ability of thinking simulated by his own ability.

Yesterday, the members of the Phantom Brigade mistook his mind ability as a "contract", so he might as well fabricate one and try it out...

"It's the first time I meet someone who takes the initiative to deliver to your door. You are really different."

Jiang Ye thought he was praising himself, "You are really polite, tell me, what conditions do you need?"

Kuroro looked at Jiang Ye, who didn't care about losing his precious mind ability, and was not interested in getting a mind ability, but the other party kept urging him to act.

In view of Jiang Ye's unique personality, he still spoke carefully, "Maybe Jiang Ye has ever thought about joining the Phantom Troupe? We usually have a lot of activities and have a lot of time for you to write."

"No, I won't join any organization after I leave Beat the Enemy."

"it's a pity."

"Come on, just take away my reading ability here, Kuroro." Jiang Ye put down the book in his hand, with an expectant smile on his face.

Jiang Ye has always been enthusiastic about seeing new things, including the other party's ability to read.

Kuroro thought about it for a moment, and finally decided to comply with the other party's request. Anyway, he didn't suffer.

"Then before that, can I have a little insight into the specific use of your mind ability?" He said.

"Yes." Jiang Ye nodded, and said immediately, "Then let's make a small 'contract' first."

"Ah."

Jiang Ye rubbed his chin with his finger and thought for a while, "Kurolo Luxilu cannot blink for the next 10 minutes. If he blinks, the bandage on his head will break, and during this period, I cannot attack Kurolo Luxilu Sirul, otherwise all the books on the shelf will be burned to ashes."

"..." What a strange contract.

"Do you want to sign a 'contract'?"

"it is good."

At the same time, Kuroro was secretly observing the changes in Jiangye, and he really saw the dark projection that the knights and the others mentioned.

Is it the state when the ability to read is activated...

"The 'contract' is established." Jiang Ye said, his eyes fixed on Kuroro's bandage.

Kuroro's eyes moved slowly, but he didn't blink.

Jiang Ye raised his eyebrows, looked up at the clock in the bookstore, and then took out a pack of cigarettes to smoke alone.

"Huh—" He took a breath and deliberately blew air in front of Kuroro.

People with telekinetic abilities can indeed challenge the limits that many ordinary people cannot achieve, so when Kuroro wants to do it for 10 minutes without blinking, he can really do it.

But at present, he only feels the bondage of the "contract" to both parties, and has not yet experienced how things will happen if the content of the "contract" is violated, so he needs an opportunity.

Obviously, Jiang Ye will not be the first person to break the "contract".

So he blinked quickly when his eye sockets were reddish from the white smoke. At that moment, the bondage connecting him and Jiang Ye was broken, together with the bandage on his forehead.

The first condition for stealing the mind ability is achieved.

Feeling the sudden slack in front of his forehead, Kuroro reached out to catch the bandage that was broken by an unknown force, and looked at Jiang Ye again for a moment, "Is this the 'contract', if no one breaks it after 10 minutes Will the 'contract' disappear by itself?"

"That's right, after all the conditions have been clearly given." Jiang Ye looked at his forehead without any precautions, and replied directly and clearly.

The second condition is fulfilled.

The cross tattoo on Kuroro's forehead was revealed without any concealment, and the young man who was still bookish just now turned into a dark and complex temperament.

With a smile on his lips, a book appeared in his hand, "Then please put your hands on the cover, and I will accept it carefully."

Jiang Ye looked over with a cigarette in his mouth, without any hesitation, he stretched out his right hand and pressed on the cover.

A force surged out from the book, with a plundering aura to absorb all of his thoughts.

But what it can absorb is only the mind ability that Jiang Ye deliberately simulated, so for Jiang Ye, he just felt a little more relaxed.

The third condition is fulfilled.

Mind ability to steal success.

When Jiang Ye withdrew his hand, Kuroro also put away the book that appeared because of his ability to read.

"Okay?" Jiang Ye asked.

"I did receive Jiang Ye's ability to read," Kuroro said with a satisfied smile.

"Then this meeting should come to an end. I hope that after this meeting, you will not come to me again. I still want to live a quieter life." Jiang Ye stamped out a cigarette butt with his toes, and said, "Also, I hope You can make good use of this mind ability."

Kuroro responded, "Well, I will."

"This is another 'reward'." Jiang Ye took out a pocket book from his coat pocket, which looked a bit old.

Kuroro was slightly taken aback, and looked back and forth after receiving it, "Is this...a fable?"

"It's indeed a fable on the surface, but the deeper meaning is still waiting for Kuroro to continue digging, so let's do it first, and I'm leaving." Jiang Ye smiled meaningfully, and waved at the other party.

"OK, bye……"

Jiang Ye took the things he bought and walked out of the second-hand bookstore, leaving Ku Luoluo alone in front of a pocket book to ponder, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up after walking away.

This fable definitely does not have the desired result of the Phantom Troupe, only what Jiang Ye wants to tell them, which is the same as the fable itself: Don't easily believe what strangers say...
