After hearing this, Chu Yao asked calmly: "If you don't come to the bookstore to read, what else can you do?"

"Little girl, if you had met me earlier, maybe I would have believed what you said." The old lady lowered her head, a sharp edge flashed at the end of her eyes, "But you don't know, this bookstore already has nearly three thousand people. No one has visited since the day. I am staying here just to wait for today’s visitor.”

"I was just passing by and came in to take a look out of curiosity." Chu Yao smiled, "You are joking. This bookstore is close to the street. How can no one come in to buy books?"

The old lady simply put down what she was holding and said directly: "You don't know yet, but not just anyone can come into this bookstore. If you can come in, it means you are the chosen one."

She took out a book from the drawer below. The cover and bottom of the book were pure and flawless black, and it was also coated with a layer of bright paint. You could vaguely see some reflections.

The old lady turned the book to the last page. There was only one line on it, which said today's date and time, "A distinguished guest is visiting."

"Maybe the author of this book made a mistake." Chu Yao shrugged.

After all, it was not her who dreamed about the location of the bookstore, but Zhang Tianen. The person who was supposed to come to the bookstore on Yuhua Road and the "distinguished guest" they were looking for should also be Zhang Tianen.

Chu Yao guessed that maybe people like Zhang Tianen, who had come back from the dead and gained "eternal life", would meet the old man in their dreams, and then be guided to this bookstore.

As for what they are going to do, Chu Yao will wait and see.

The old woman shook her head slowly. She raised the book in her hand and showed Chu Yao the contents one by one.

The entire book was blank, except for the page she turned to before.

When she held the book in her hands, her spine became straighter and straighter, as if what she was holding was not just a simple book, but a sacred object.

"Little girl, you must have experienced some incredible things not long ago, right? For example, you were doomed for no reason. It came so suddenly that you were completely unprepared."

"After you experienced pain, suffering and despair, you thought it was over. But you woke up from the nightmare again, didn't you?"

"I can feel your confusion, but now that everything has happened, you should also understand that this is not a simple killing, but some foreshadowing."

Chu Yao lowered his eyes, seeming to be thinking about her words, and the old woman's face also showed some satisfaction.

The people they can choose must not be unenlightened Kuchiki, they just don't understand what happened to them.

Of course, the old lady herself had moments of hesitation and confusion, and it was only through the guidance of others that she understood her mission.

"You said you were waiting for me here, then I want to know, why me? What can I do?" Chu Yao asked.

"It's very simple. The people who come to this bookstore are neither absolutely pure and innocent souls nor villains with heinous sins. Their souls must be between black and white, just like they are on the boundary between life and death. "The old lady recounted, "To put it in more straightforward terms, the person we are looking for must be someone who has died once and been resurrected."
