    ?

    Zhixu Pavilion, a bookstore, is nestled deep in the intersection of alleyways in the old city, sandwiched between rows of hardware stores, hair salons, snack shops, and real estate agencies.  A very old nanmu hangs on the lintel, and the three characters on it are agile and elegant, and there is no trace of the smoke and fire in the world.

    At this moment, the night is dark, and the whole street is like an elderly cat, with drooping legs and paws, a faint dream.

    The few street lamps were all broken, and the only faint light shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bookstore, swaying in the dark night, and finally went out silently.

    When Xia Qian woke up, she happened to see the moment when the light flickered.

    Mimi stared for a while before she realized that she was currently curled up on the sofa in the corner of the bookstore.  How did I fall asleep when I thought about finishing the last box of books and going home from get off work?

    She wanted to stand up, but her legs and feet were unbearably numb, so she simply sat down for a while.  Then, she heard some noises.

    At first she thought it was the noise coming from the street outside, but then she felt that something was wrong. Although the sound was small, it didn't seem to come in through the doors and windows, but rather, it seemed to be inside the house.

    She looked up and saw that there were round tables with books and magazines spread out in the middle of the bookstore, and the bookshelves against the walls almost reached the roof.  There is a semi-open attic near the roof, and behind the railings are rows of low and scattered bookshelves, among which sofa seats and tatami mats are scattered here and there.

    At this moment all of this is covered in darkness, only vague outlines.  But the shattering sound is still there, and it can't go away from time to time.

    The first thing Xia Qian thought of was Leng Changen.

    Leng Changen also works here. The bookstore is not big, and there are very convenient machines for checking books and self-service payment, so there are usually only her and Leng Changen here.  But she quickly remembered that although Leng Changen lived nearby, he left work on time yesterday afternoon.  He said that he was going to spend the night with his friends in the suburbs, so at this time, he could not have returned.

    Thinking of this, she felt a chill on her back.  If it's a thief, the one who steals books is usually called Ya thief, so it shouldn't hurt anyone

    Without making a sound, she lay back again, pulled the coat aside, and covered most of her body including her head.

    The voice continued, and it sounded more like a whisper, which made Xia Qian even more uneasy.  It is unlikely that a thief is talking to himself. Could it be that two came in?

    With a click, something fell to the ground, and the whispering stopped immediately, and the surroundings were as quiet as if everything just now was just an illusion.

    She bit her lower lip tightly for fear of making a sound, but she clearly heard footsteps coming towards her.  The sound of footsteps stopped beside her, and her hand shaking uncontrollably while pulling the corner of her coat.

    Then a sigh was heard.

    This sigh is full of twists and turns, a tune that is half into the wind and half into the clouds (Remember the website of this site: www.hlnovel.com
