Chapter 62 It’s Scary to Think About It Carefully

Qingcheng, Elm Street.

In an unknown stationery store.

Chen Yu put his hands around his neck, squinted his eyes, and sat slumped on the mahogany chair in a Ge You lying posture.

Opposite him, a girl with black-rimmed glasses smiled and ironed the tea set with neat movements and skillful techniques. After a while, the overflowing aroma wafted out from the teapot.

Licking her lips, the girl with glasses took the lead in pouring a cup and held it in front of Chen Yu: "Try it. Authentic teapot Longjing."

Chen Yu: "...it should be called West Lake Longjing."

Girl with glasses: "I brewed it in a teapot."

Chen Yu: "But you made coffee."

"Oh...really." The girl with glasses lowered her head and sniffed the yellowish substance in the cup carefully: "It's about the same. It tastes pretty bad anyway."

Chen Yu: "..."

"Come on, have a taste."

"No." Chen Yu waved his hand: "We have something to talk about. Drinks are waived."

"What can be the matter?" The girl with glasses put down the tea set, stretched lazily, and then wiped the water stains on her hands with her long skirt: "We are just meeting old friends and chatting."

"You and I are not old friends."

"Is the regular customer head office here?"

"Why are you looking for me?" Chen Yu became a little irritated, straightened up and said in a tough tone: "I don't want to fight with you, haha."

"No emotional intelligence." The girl with glasses pouted, took off her black-rimmed glasses, and shrugged: "Okay. I just want to sell you some stationery. Do you want to buy it?"

"...How to buy it?" Chen Yu asked after thinking for a moment.

"It's still the same as before." The girl with glasses put on her black-rimmed glasses. With a flash of her right hand, she produced a notebook from nowhere and handed it to Chen Yu: "Settling a special coin, this notebook costs five yuan."

Chen Yu: "It's the end of the world, do you still have this coin?"

"This is a rule." The girl with glasses blinked her left eye.

"It's no use asking for money."

"In this world,

No one needs money. "

"...Okay." Chen Yu took a deep look at the girl with glasses and took out his mobile phone: "What is the current exchange price."

"A special coin, three hundred and six thousand."

Chen Yu: "...Good guy. He's almost dead, yet he's still speculating."

"Hurry up and pay." The girl with glasses urged.

"...Wait a minute, no." Chen Yu looked at the girl with glasses tightly and said, "According to your normal rules here, shouldn't I be the one to choose what 'stationery' to buy?"

"Oh... yes. But as a store owner, I can also take the initiative to recommend it." The corner of the glasses girl's mouth raised: "And you may want this recommendation."

Hearing this, Chen Yu didn't waste much time, directly opened his phone and transferred 1.5 million.

"Thank you." The girl with glasses was very happy and handed over the notebook happily: "What you want to know is inside."

Putting away the phone, Chen Yu reached out to take it and quickly opened the first page of the notebook.

On the smooth page, there was only one line written - [21 million special coins. 】

Chen Yu: "..."

Girl with glasses: "..."

Chen Yu: "What does this mean?"

"Have I answered your question?" The girl with glasses pushed up the frame of her glasses.

Chen Yu: "???"

"That's right." Picking up the cup of coffee again, the girl with glasses smiled: "You want to ask, who am I."

"...That's right."

Girl with glasses: "When you ask this question, I will answer: If you want to know my true identity, you need a lot of bitcoins."

Chen Yu: "And then."

Girl with glasses: "Then you will ask, how many Bitcoins are needed."

Chen Yu: "...and then."

"Then I'll tell you." The girl with glasses pointed to the notebook in Chen Yu's hand: "A total of 21 million special coins are needed."

Chen Yu: "..."

Girl with glasses: "...(well-behaved)"

Chen Yu: "Are you kidding me by riding a horse?"

"I didn't." The girl with glasses shook her head.

"Believe it or not, I'm going to tear you apart." Chen Yu gritted his teeth and burst out with energy.

Fierce winds suddenly appeared!

The entire stationery store was immediately blown to pieces...

The bespectacled girl raised her hand to block the strong wind that hit her face, and she also burst out with energy.

moment!

The fire is rolling! The ground shakes!

Through the window of the stationery store, you can clearly see the sky outside the window is thundering...

Chen Yu: "⊙._.⊙..."

Five seconds later.

The girl with glasses quickly gathered her strength. As if nothing happened just now, he casually drank the coffee in his hand and smacked his lips: "Is there anything else you want to know?"

Chen Yu: "...No more. I really bothered you today, so I'll go back first."

"You don't always have the chance to see me." The girl with glasses laughed.

After a slight pause, Chen Yu stopped in front of the door. He was silent for a long time, turned around and said, "Who are you?"

“To know my true identity, I need many, many bitcoins.”

"How much do you need?"

"It's written in the notebook. 21 million pieces."

Chen Yu: "..."

"Actually, you still have another question you want to ask." The girl with glasses suddenly said: "I can give you a discount, thirty-six special coins."

"What do I want to ask?" Chen Yu asked.

"You want to ask..." The girl with glasses bent down, picked up a pen from the ground, and shook it at Chen Yu: "You, Chen Yu, can you save the magic city."

Hearing this, Chen Yu's pupils suddenly shrank.

"I just guessed, right?"

"...Did you really guess that?"

"Hey." The girl with glasses grinned: "That's another question. It's worth 4 Bitcoins."

"How much do you know about me?" Chen Yu's face became increasingly ugly.

"I told you when we first met." The girl with glasses adjusted her black frames: "I know everything."

One male and one female, one tall and one short.

The two of them stood in the messy store, looking at each other.

Wait for the branches and leaves to gradually fall, for the dust to gradually stop, and for the vagueness outside the window to gradually dissipate. Chen Yu stiffly took out his mobile phone and transferred all his savings through his bank card.

"That's all I have." Chen Yu's voice was hoarse.

"The rest, you owe me. After all, you are a regular customer, so you still have this privilege." The girl with glasses seemed to know how much Chen Yu had transferred. She unscrewed the pen, wrote an IOU in a flash, and threw it away. Out: "Next time we meet, I'll pay you back."

The IOU was swept by the strange air current.

After wandering around the room twice, it fell quietly into Chen Yu's hands.

Holding the IOU tightly, Chen Yu's eyes never left the bespectacled girl's face: "Tell me. Can I save Magic City?"

"No." The girl with glasses answered simply and neatly.

"……I do not believe."

"Believe it or not." She shrugged, and the bespectacled girl waved her hand away: "The demise of mankind is determined from a time perspective. Stop fussing and accept your fate. And... you have no money, you are a pauper. I can’t buy any more stationery. Let’s go.”

"..."

After continuing to be silent for a while, Chen Yu took one last look at the girl with glasses, turned around and pushed the door open.

"Creak-boom."

After closing the door, a few traces of night fell.

He raised his head and looked at the long-extinguished streetlights on both sides of the street for a while. He suddenly remembered something and turned around to open the door!

I saw that the originally messy stationery store was actually empty!

Scattered papers, broken glass windows, dusty computer screens, black curtains covered with mold... Every corner reveals a strange decay.

It seems like no one has been here for many years...

Keeping the action of opening the door, Chen Yu stood there in a daze, feeling a coldness running straight from his tailbone to Tianling Gai.

There were goosebumps all over my body.

…

(ps: Friends, happy New Year’s Day! Happy New Year’s Eve!

By the way, let me tell you about the situation of this book, because this book has an ending first and a beginning later. From the middle stage, all plots revolve around the stunning ending. Therefore, the hole in front must be filled slowly, and the hole in the back must be dug continuously.

At present, it has nearly 1.4 million words, which is only in the middle and late stages. The complete story is shown, at least there is "quite long" content.

As the new year approaches, more and more things are weighing on me, from family, company, and society... I really don’t have enough time. Sorry for the slow update.

Finally, in the essay competition jointly organized by China Literature and the National Library a few days ago, the 300-word short story "Dansheng" that I wrote won the only first prize among the 2,500 essays submitted nationwide. Very happy.

I hope that this New Year’s luck can also spread out and give all readers a wonderful start to the New Year. )
