Chapter 18 Absenteeism
Old Xu laughed as soon as he heard it, "Then this kid is really lucky!"

After Lao Xu left, Song Jiang took Meng Zhe around to familiarize himself with the environment, and he said with a masterful face, "Let me tell you, I am familiar with this place, so feel free to ask if there is anything you don't understand."

Meng Zhe looked around and said, "Are you really familiar with this place?"

"Of course, I've been working here for a while anyway." Song Jiang still said confidently.

Meng Zhe sighed after hearing this, "You idiot, it's really lucky to live to this day!"

After hearing this, Song Jiang said triumphantly, "Can I meet you?!"

Seeing that Song Jiang didn't know anything about the real situation here, Meng Zhe didn't say anything more, because everything is what one hears and one sees is believing. Instead of wasting words and explaining to this kid, it's better to let him see for himself What is the world is full of wonders.

Although Song Jiang hasn't been back here for a few days, the atmosphere in the library is still as dead as before, and just now, Lao Xu seemed to have something to leave in a hurry, and he didn't even go through the entry procedures for Meng Zhe... …

After Song Jiang briefly introduced the situation in the library to Meng Zhe, he idly wandered among the bookshelves, picking up this book for a while, and picking up that book for a while.

When Meng Zhe saw him, he asked him curiously, "Has the library business always been so bleak?"

Song Jiang nodded helplessly and said, "There are almost no customers during the day, and if one or two come in occasionally, they basically go to the wrong door, and they go out quickly after walking around. It will be better at night..."

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhe was puzzled and said, "Even during the day, only people with bad luck can enter this place, let alone at night... Who on earth introduced you to work here?"

Song Jiang said with a puzzled face, "My aunt? Is there any problem?"

"Auntie?"

"Of course it's my aunt. Our Song family is weak, and my parents died when I was very young... Now it's just me and my aunt who live together."

After hearing this, Meng Zhe pinched his fingers and said, "Is your aunt married?"

Song Jiang didn't understand, so he shook his head and said, "No...why are you asking this?!"

Meng Zhe sneered as soon as he heard it, "One day I will have a chance to take me to meet your good aunt!"

Seeing that Meng Zhe's tone was a bit weird, Song Jiang said quickly, "What do you want? Let me tell you, it's fine if you torment me alone, but don't harm my aunt, she is the only relative I have in this world. gone."

Hearing what Song Jiang said, Meng Zhe didn't say anything else, but couldn't help feeling in his heart, it's really not easy for this silly kid in front of him to grow up so big...

For the next whole day, Meng Zhe was in charge of looking after the store, while Song Jiang was holding his little broken notebook and kept typing. Although his novels had very few subscriptions, they were still an income. After all, talk is better than nothing, right?
As for Meng Zhe, he kept wandering around in the library, knocking here and touching there... until he came to a bookshelf full of old books, he suddenly felt something strange.

Meng Zhe first put his hand on the bookshelf to feel it for a while, and soon found that the upper part of the old bookshelf was restricted, that is to say, there should be a space behind the bookshelf, but ordinary people can't find it at all.

Although Meng Zhe discovered the existence of this space, his mana has not yet fully recovered, so he will not be able to open the restriction for a while... But the existence of this area just shows that there is indeed a problem with this library.

At noon, Song Jiang searched Lao Xu's office for two bowls of instant noodles in order to save some money, but Meng Zhe said sullenly after eating two bites, "I want to eat lobster pasta."

Song Jiang almost spit out a mouthful of old blood when he heard it, it was all mixed up like this, how dare he say that he wants to eat lobster pasta?But he didn't dare to say that, so he coaxed and lied, "It's okay, let's go to the supermarket to buy it after get off work, and let's eat this for a meal now."

Unexpectedly, what Song Jiang didn't expect was that Lao Xu didn't come to take over as early as usual that night. It was dark outside and he couldn't be seen, and Song Jiang didn't answer his calls...

"Is something wrong with Lao Xu?" Song Jiang said worriedly.

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhe who was next to him snorted softly and said, "Don't worry, he won't die even if you die... It should be delayed by some personal matters."

When Song Jiang thought that when he asked for leave for the past few days, he would be replaced by Lao Xu. Of course, he couldn't say anything now that he had something to do. At this time, guests began to come in one after another, so Song Jiang hurriedly stood up to say hello.

But I don't know why, Song Jiang always felt that the guests who came tonight were different from usual, but he couldn't tell what was different for a while, until the old guest, the uncle in the top hat, Song Jiang wanted to understand what went wrong ...

"Oh? Isn't this Xiao Song? It's not fifteen today, why are you on the night shift?" The uncle in the top hat said with a smile after pushing the door open.

Of course Song Jiang couldn't say that Old Xu was absent from work, so he replied casually, "Director Xu should be a little late today, so I'll keep an eye on him for a while..."

Unexpectedly, Song Jiang spoke halfway, but suddenly saw a translucent guest walking by the uncle in the top hat. At this moment, he realized that all the guests who came in before were all translucent, but the uncle in the top hat in front of him was a real entity. .

At first Song Jiang thought it was his eyes that were dazzled, but he rubbed his eyes and looked again, and found that those people were still translucent, so he immediately kicked the cashier beside him with a livid face and said, "Brother Meng! Brother Meng! You Wake up!"

Meng Zhe, who had been dozing off under the cashier counter, sat up annoyed, "Where is the soul calling? It's so loud! Can you get off work?"

The sudden appearance of Meng Zhe really startled the uncle in the top hat who had just entered the door. He took a few steps back one after another, and then looked suspiciously at Meng Zhe, who had just woken up and had messy hair...

Seeing Meng Zhe woke up, Song Jiang whispered to him, "Why are those people transparent?!"

Meng Zhe raised his eyes after hearing this, his eyes suddenly darkened and said, "They are all spirit bodies, naturally translucent... Don't worry, these things are generally not harmful."

When Song Jiang heard that the guests who were dangling around were not human, he immediately felt chills down his back, and began to regret listening to his aunt's advice and coming to work here, but he didn't realize at the time that when Meng Zhe and the uncle in the top hat were four When the eyes meet, there is a strange atmosphere around for no reason...
