I open a bookstore in the human world

Manager Cao patrolled the mall every day, seeing the great changes in the shadow bookstore day by day, and he had to admit that Boss Song really put his mind into it.If such a bookstore is not located in Lijin but somewhere else, as long as the service can keep up, there will definitely be many customers.

It's a pity that it opened in Lijin... Manager Cao shook his head lightly and sighed, mourning for Song Lan and Shadow Bookstore for three seconds.

It's not that he said his own despondent words, it's because the feng shui of this place is so evil, except for those who sell gold, there are almost no shops that can break the law of "opening a shop will lose money".

Manager Cao was secretly worried about the "Qiantu" of the Shadow Bookstore, but the owner, Song Lan, did not panic at all, and even had time to visit other merchants in the Lijin Mall with a small gift.

The employees of other stores are also very curious about this newcomer.Everyone has heard that this out-of-town boss surnamed Song plans to open a bookstore in the shopping mall, and has rented a large piece of land in one go. Not only has the decoration been done, but it will open soon.

Everyone is a social person, and they are in business. They know what to say and what not to say. Naturally, they will not say some bad things in front of Song Lan, and they will say "opening the door", "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and so on. auspicious language.After all, the manpower is short, but every employee including the cleaning staff in the shopping mall gave Song Lan a flower and fruit tea gift box produced by the Shadow Bookstore. No matter what these people think in their hearts, they all look happy on the surface.

Before Qin Shi left Jincheng, Song Lan said that since he came, he just stayed to help for a while, and the opening was about to start, and he was still busy during this time.

I have visited all the merchants on the first and second floors, and now there is only the last one that has not been visited - the weird gold shop on the third floor.

"Brother Song, what do you think is the origin of the ghost on the third floor? I saw her on the third floor yesterday, but she just glanced at me and went in, as if she was not curious at all. What do you think she is?" Do you recognize our true identity?" Qin Shi followed Song Lan, chattering in a low voice.

Song Lan popularized science for him: "Normally, the senses of ghosts are very sensitive, and they can 'smell' out the smell of other creatures. The higher the strength, the stronger this ability is. This is the instinct of ghosts. If there is no With this kind of instinct, many ghosts have already been captured and dissected by the ghost exorcist master or the Chinese Academy of Sciences." The implication is that the ghost on the third floor should have recognized Song Lan's true identity.

Qin Shi's face was complicated, and there was a little depression in his expression: "Then why didn't I feel that there was a ghost living on the third floor when I came here." To be honest, if Song Lan hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't be here until now. Know that the big beauty on the third floor is not human.

Song Lan said slowly: "I haven't finished yet, ghosts can 'smell' the special smell of other creatures, but at the same time they can also hide their own smell from the other party to find out. It's the same sentence, the stronger the ghost, the more powerful it is. The stronger the ability to hide, for example, if I deliberately hide my smell, you won't be able to find out."

"Oh..." Qin Shi nodded half-understood, and then realized, "No, Brother Song, so that said, the ghost on the third floor is not weak? Uh, at least stronger than me?"

Qin Shi thinks that he has a good fighting power among ghosts, so is that woman, bah... the female ghost is stronger than him?Sure enough, ghosts can't be judged by appearances.

Song Lan suppressed her smile, her expression was a bit serious: "She is much stronger than you."

Qin Shi was even more depressed: Even if he was strong, he was still "much stronger". Isn't this too shocking?

"No matter how powerful you are, you can't compare to Brother Song, right?" Qin Shi took the opportunity to flatter her a little, "After all, you can detect her scent."

Unexpectedly, Song Lan's expression froze, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Seeing this, Qin Shi felt a "thump" in his heart, and said in disbelief, "Could it be that she is stronger than Song Ge? This is impossible! You are already a ghost!"

No matter how powerful a ghost is, it will rarely be able to beat a ghost messenger, unless it is the kind of fierce ghost that destroys the world and the fledgling ghost messenger.

Song Lan glanced at Qin Shi faintly, and complex emotions flashed in her eyes: "Who said that woman is a ghost?"

"Brother Song, did you say she was a ghost... Uh, I didn't seem to say it was Li Guihou." Qin Se scratched her head embarrassedly, and opened her mouth wide in shock the next second, "Besides Li Gui, how could there be ghosts appearing?" In the human world?"

"Yes," Song Lan pointed to herself, "Ghost messengers like me can walk freely in the human world."

Qin Shi: "..."

Qin Shi: "I'm @%￥%! That female ghost is also a ghost messenger?!"

Song Lan nodded slowly, with a serious expression on her face: "If I'm not wrong, she is at least an intermediate-level ghost messenger." Smell can't deceive people. The smell emanating from the other party makes Song Lan feel familiar, that is The taste that only intermediate and high-level ghost envoys will have.

I just don't know why, the other party didn't deliberately hide her aura, otherwise Song Lan would not be able to discover the other party's identity with her ability.Could it be that she is not afraid of revealing her identity at all, or does she not care at all?

Qin Shi was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "The ghost messenger didn't do a good job of subduing the ghost, why is he still opening a gold shop in the human world? Uh... Do you want to experience life?"

It's not just a gold shop, according to Manager Cao, the female ghost surnamed Xia has been open for more than two years!Song Lan slandered.

"I can't guess her purpose, but what is certain is that this mall has become like this, and she must be involved." Song Lan said.

Qin Shi felt that his brains for getting into the country's top 5 universities of science and technology were no longer enough: "Brother Song, so now we plan to bring a box of flower and fruit tea to visit that—that old senior?"

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know how to honor the Lord Ghost Envoy who was said to be more powerful than his master, so he had to use "Old Senior" instead.

emmmm calling a beautiful woman who looks younger than me "senior", this sense of disobedience is not usually strong.

Song Lan raised her eyebrows and asked back, "What else do you want to give?"

"Well..." Qin Shi couldn't answer either.That's right, if the other party is really as powerful as Song Lan said, they should have everything - you know, ghost envoys can receive wages from the underworld, and the higher the level, the higher the wages, a bit like those in the human world. Same job title.Some ghost envoys who are more diligent in catching ghosts can still receive a lot of bonuses from the underworld every month.

"So, just bring this." Song Lan patted Qin Shi's shoulder, "It's good to be normal. I think that senior is quite low-key, and he probably doesn't want to be special."

When Song Lan came to the mall for the first time, he restrained his aura, but it probably wouldn't be of much use in front of ghost messengers with a higher level than himself.Song Lan was almost sure that the other party would be able to guess her identity, but she hadn't moved for so long, and even showed that she didn't want to get close to her. It seemed that the other party at least had no malicious intentions towards her.

The two ghosts talked and walked up to the third floor, and came to the door of the "Lazy Gold Shop" - the name is strange enough, normal gold shops shouldn't be called "Zhou Dafu", "Lao Fengxiang" or something like that ?

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" Song Lan yelled into the store very politely, and walked in while talking.Qin Shi followed behind him, holding the flower and fruit tea gift box in his arms, looking around nervously.

After a while, there was movement from the deepest part of the counter, and then a head popped out from under the counter. It seemed that the owner of the head was just sleeping, and the pattern on the face was still printed by the pillow.

Qin Shi: "..." Is this the supposedly powerful Ghost Messenger?really!

But to be honest, yesterday he just took a look from a distance, and the other party disappeared. Looking at it now, this person's appearance can be called a must-have: a head of jet-black long curly hair is somewhat messy and draped over his shoulders , a face only the size of a palm, probably a little pale because of not seeing the sun all year round, but it did not diminish the beauty of the other party at all, but instead highlighted a unique morbid beauty.Her facial features are actually not particularly good-looking when viewed separately, not to the extent that the eyes are as big as copper bells and the lips are as small as cherries, but when taken together as a whole, they are particularly charming and harmonious, compared to some plastic surgery The face is a hundred times better.

Accidentally, Qin Shi's true nature was exposed, and he stared at the beautiful woman in front of him with blinding eyes.

Song Lan slapped Qin Shi on the back of the head, signaling him to calm down a little, and then showed a self-confident smile and introduced himself: "Hi Miss Xia, I'm the owner of the bookstore who just moved next door. My name is Song Lan, I just arrived here, and I brought you a little gift."

With that said, he handed over the flower and fruit tea gift box.

Xia Lan squinted her charming eyes and glanced at the faces of Song Lan and Qin Shi, her eyes fell on the beautifully packaged gift box, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and she stretched out a pair of soft and boneless lips. hand, pointed to the table, and lightly parted her lips: "Thank you, let's put it here."

Qin Shi's eyes lit up again: The beauty is indeed a beauty, even her voice is so nice!

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to introduce herself at all, Song Lan's smile froze a bit, but she put down the flower and fruit tea gift box according to her words, turned her gaze, and pretended to scan the space behind the counter inadvertently——

A huge sofa and reclining chair took up almost the entire space. Apart from that, there was nothing behind the counter.

Obviously, the Xia beauty was lying on it just now.

As if sensing Song Lan's gaze, Xia Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, leaned over to cover most of Song Lan's sight, and said, "Boss Song, is there anything else?"

Song Lan shook her head with a smile: "No... Uh, well, there is something wrong, a friend's birthday is coming up, I want to pick a gold jewelry for him as a gift, I wonder if Boss Xia has any recommendations?"

Paused, as if she was afraid that Xia Lan might suspect something, Song Lan quickly added: "I've visited all the gold shops downstairs, but I didn't find one that I was satisfied with. I heard that the gold jewelry in Boss Xia's shop is different from theirs. , come and take a look."

It's not all a lie.When I gave gifts to the employees of the gold store downstairs, the other party heard that Song Lan would go to the third floor to give gifts later, and began to talk about the mysterious Boss Xia on the third floor.

The clerks said that the gold jewelry sold in her gold shop is different from that of ordinary shops. It is an unknown brand. The gold is of good quality and the style is very special. If it is placed in other places, it will definitely be welcomed by customers.But the strange thing is that Boss Xia doesn't seem to plan to promote his store. He didn't hire anyone to distribute leaflets or advertise. Few people know that there is such a gold store on the third floor of Lijin Mall—— Few people have ever gone up to the building, let alone stepped into the gold shop.

The shop assistants were all very strange, thinking that Boss Xia was not like an ordinary businessman at all.

Song Lanxin said that of course she is not an ordinary businessman, she is a ghost.I just don't know why the ghost messengers are hiding in the human world to sell gold, and this sale has been going on for more than two years.

Song Lan wouldn't be so surprised if it was a different product, but Xia Lan was selling gold jewelry.You must know that gold is a thing to ward off evil spirits. Although a ghost like Song Lan has a certain immunity to gold, he can't bear to stay in a space full of gold all day long.

As for ghosts like Qin Shi, their immunity was even lower. He had only stepped into this gold shop for a few minutes, and his face was a little paler than before.If it wasn't for Xia Lan's beauty that attracted his attention now, he might not be able to hold on anymore.

Hearing that Song Lan was going to buy gold jewelry, Xia Lan's eyes flashed an unclear light, and then a somewhat lazy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Oh? What kind of gold jewelry does Boss Song want to choose? Rings ? Bracelets? Necklaces? Earrings? Or things like Buddha statues to ward off evil spirits."

I don't know if Song Lan's heart is too serious, he always feels that the other party's articulation is very clear when he says "to ward off evil spirits".

"I haven't studied these, so please ask Boss Xia to help me choose." Song Lan pretended not to notice Xia Lan's implication, "The other party is a young man, he is quite tall, and I have never seen him wearing any jewelry. , I don’t know what he likes.”

"What does he do?" Xia Lan seemed to really regard Song Lan as a customer who picked out gold jewelry, and asked in an orderly manner.

"For work...he works in Huaguo Tea Shop, and likes planting flowers and drinking tea in his spare time." Song Lan thought about it carefully.

"Planting flowers requires frequent use of hands. It is inconvenient to wear a ring. He is also a man, so earrings are definitely not suitable for him... How about a necklace?"

Xia Lan walked lazily and swayingly to a jewelry display stand, and pointed sleepily at the things inside: "This olive bead is more suitable for men. It's a classic boss style, and everyone in business likes it."

Song Lan silently glanced at the big gold chain that Xia Lan was pointing at, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "Uh...he likes more simple and elegant ones, I'm afraid this is not suitable."

"You like simple and elegant ones? How about this plain chain?" Xia Lan pointed to a gold chain next to it without any decoration.

"It doesn't seem to have any special features..." Song Lan seemed to really plan to buy something for Xie Daonian, so she chose it.

"Don't worry, you can add a pendant." Xia Lan led Song Lan to another display stand, "You can choose a pendant here."

Song Lan immediately took a fancy to one of the leaf-shaped pendants. It was slender and slender, with sharp tops and bottoms and a bulge in the middle. It was also finely engraved with the veins of the leaves. The workmanship was exquisite, as if it was a real golden leaf.

"Can you show me this?" Song Lan pointed.

Xia Lan yawned, she seemed sleepy, and said lazily, "Of course."

She opened the glass display stand, took out the brocade box containing the pendant, and handed it to Song Lan.

Song Lan noticed that during this period, the other party didn't know whether it was intentional or not, the fingertips touched the pendant, but she didn't respond.

Song Lan narrowed her eyes, and felt that the female ghost in front of her was really not simple: the ghost was afraid of gold, and it was unbearable to even get close to it, and it was even more uncomfortable once it was touched.But the other party behaved so normally, as if holding something in his hand that wasn't something that ghosts should fear.

For the first time, Song Lan doubted her judgment: Is this really a ghost?

Song Lan didn't dare to be as showy as the other party. He took the brocade box extremely cautiously. He felt that the skin on his hands was covered with goose bumps because he was too close to the gold jewelry. He just glanced at it and returned it to Xia Lan, saying: Just decided to have this.

Unbearable, unbearable nausea and dizziness... Sure enough, Jin Jin is born to be the nemesis of ghosts, even if Song Lan is stronger than ordinary little ghosts.

As for Qin Shi, this guy has already used the excuse of peeing to escape. Even if there is a peerless beauty by his side, he still can't overcome his instinct and doesn't want to stay in this golden ghostly place.

Seeing Qin Shi's appearance, Song Lan sighed: Everything in this mall is good, but there are too many gold stores. It seems that in the future, only ordinary human employees can be hired here, and his ghosts can't be managed.

Xia Lan wrapped the leaf pendant Song Lan chose and the previous gold chain, and asked Song Lan with a smile, "How do I pay?"

"Uh, Alipay..." Song Lan didn't expect Xia Lan to move so fast, so fast that he didn't even have time to think about the payment.

In such a hurry, could it be that there is something that I can't let myself know, and I want to drive myself away as soon as possible?Such a thought popped into Song Lan's mind, and his heart was shocked——

It seems that there is really some secret hidden in this ghost!

Thinking of this, Song Lan even wanted to stay and find out.But Xia Lan didn't give him a chance at all. After paying the money, she stuffed the packaging bag into his hand and said quickly, "Thank you for your patronage and welcome to visit next time."

Song Lan: "..." There was no room for him to interrupt at all.

Under such circumstances, staying here will inevitably arouse the other party's suspicion and vigilance. Song Lan had no choice but to go out with the packing bag, and said as she walked, "Then when the bookstore opens after a while, Boss Xia will come to play. If you I want to give you a discount on something."

There was no response quietly behind him, Song Lan suddenly felt strange, took out his mobile phone and pretended to read the news, but in fact he was looking at the movement behind him through the reflection on the mobile phone screen.

No one behind.

The author has something to say:

Is this chapter fat enough?
