Protagonist interpretation rules

Chapter 17 Facing Fear
After some exchanges, Bai Yue also learned the name of the white cat. It calls itself Baishu, which is the abbreviation of this bookstore.

Bai Yue naturally accepted this magical cat.

This is an idealistic world. Inspirations can be transformed into spirits, and settings in works can be applied to reality. So it makes sense for the bookstore’s will to turn into a cat, right?

Moreover, Bai Shu lies in his arms like a round dumpling, feels fluffy, and does not shed hair without feeding. It is perfect as a companion.

Unfortunately, the only fly in the ointment is...

——It is too good at critical criticism.

At this moment, the white cat was walking slowly, inspecting the facilities in the bookstore. It jumped on the counter, stretched out its front paws, and straightened a tilted book. Then, a pair of blue eyes looked at the decorations between the wall and the window. Looking back and forth on the product, it's like a leader inspecting work.

The only staff member of the bookstore carefully accompanied Bai Mao, and Bai Yue felt a little nervous inexplicably.

"Meow meow meow. (They are all worthless fakes and rubbish. These calligraphy, paintings and porcelain are not worthy of any evaluation from me. When will they be replaced?)"

The white cat turned to look at the boy aside. Bai Shu's eyes were stern, waiting for the other person's response.

"Well...we don't have money to buy real hard goods yet. If we remove them, there will be nothing left in the store."

Bai Yue showed a flattering smile: "Can you please slow down this matter for now? From now on, I will definitely work hard to make money to contribute to the bookstore..."

"Meow~" (There's really nothing I can do about you~ Forget it, I understand you, take your time on this matter.)
The white cat's tail was curled in front of its front paws. It turned its head and thought for a moment, then meowed: "Well, hang up your real painting first, and remember not to add a work label."

"Okay, okay, I'll find someone to frame it right now."

Bai Yue nodded, and the young man immediately asked doubtfully: "But why not add a label? Is there anything special about it?"

"It's nothing special. It's just that the name of your painting is really weird. I find it embarrassing."

"Ah, I think this name sounds nice, right?"

"I suggest you improve your poor artistic skills."

Bai Shu yawned and shook his ears: "But don't worry, you are my master, so I will not dislike you personally."

"Ah...thank you..."

Bai Yue felt a little aggrieved at this time.

In the previous life, when he helped name his best friend's works, he was mercilessly attacked by the other party, saying that he was like a 'hopeless illiterate' in naming. Bai Yue has always been worried about this, and felt that the other party was just slandering him. Own.

Unexpectedly, after time traveling, even cats would dislike my naming skills.

But the white cat didn't pay attention to Bai Yue's little mood.

Bai Shu urged: "Hang the painting as soon as possible. I must gather enough knowledge to help you refine the settings in the work."

"Collect cognition and refine settings?"

Bai Yue was stunned and quickly picked up the cat: "Can you tell me the connection and meaning between them?"

"Cognition is cognition, setting is setting, just follow it." The cat in his arms tilted his head slightly, looking like he was looking at a fool.

"All right……"

Bai Yue responded bitterly. The next moment, the boy seemed to have thought of something. He picked up a novel about the Eastern Kingdom from another world and placed it in front of the cat.

"Can the settings in these novels be extracted?"

Bai Yue looked expectantly.

After all, his store is currently full of novels about the different world Long Aotian and the Kingdom of East. The protagonist in them can fly using the system, and can wield all kinds of super powers at will.

"What are you thinking about? How can a counterfeit that has not been deeply baptized and not supported by inspiration have a setting?"

There was gradually more worry in the white cat's eyes: "Are you okay? Are you sick? Do you want to have your brain treated?"

Bai Yue fell silent.

He silently put the Dongguo novel back to its original position, and then straightened the book under Maomao's stern gaze.Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere did not last long. Bai Yue's personal terminal suddenly lit up, apparently receiving a notification.

The boy put down the cat, unlocked the screen, and discovered to his surprise that this message was sent to the general public by the government.

"Abnormal weather detection, emergency rainstorm warning?"

Bai Yue murmured, and the next moment, the brisk music sounded in the bookstore again, and the communication interface of the personal terminal lit up.

Lao Wen called.

Bai Yue's expression became serious.

According to the memory shown in "The Strange House of Anglers", Bai Yue knew that the enthusiastic businessman was by no means a mediocre person. He seemed to have the same status as the painter Gu Tianzong, and was once one of the core members of the Utopia.

He finally came to the door.

Bai Yue didn't hesitate and pressed the answer button.

"Good morning! Boss Bai, we have prepared the goods you ordered last night!"

Lao Wen's tone was as polite and energetic as ever: "My people will arrive at their destination soon. Do you have time to come out and pick up the goods?"

As if he noticed something, Bai Yue turned his head and looked out the window.

At some point, dark clouds quietly covered the sun, and the sky darkened.

The wind started blowing in the street, and the breeze swirled, gradually becoming colder and sharper, and the gradually growing airflow finally sent out a threatening low whistle towards all pedestrians.

Before anyone could react, lightning flashed across the sky, and cold raindrops followed one after another.

Exclamations rang out one after another, the heavy water droplets had already formed into gray slashes in the howling wind, and the sudden heavy rain drove away the helpless crowd.

After a while, the cross streets around the bookstore were completely cleared by the turbid rain curtain.

In Bai Yue's sight, a slender figure suddenly appeared not far from the street.

The girl was walking alone in the rain. Her silver hair reached her waist. She wore a brown trench coat, a white shirt with a tie, a light-colored pleated skirt, and black boots. Her outfit was mature and fashionable.

She was carrying a black box, without an umbrella, but no rain fell on her. The howling wind and rain surrounded the girl, and the ferocious weather was like a loyal subject.

"BOSS, I'm near my destination."

The cold voice was lost in the wind. She held her earphones, but the sound of chewing potato chips came from the earphones.

"Thank you for your hard work. I have already said hello to Boss Bai. You just need to send the goods in... Oh, damn my Coke!"

The sound of bottles being knocked over and the young man's exclamation sounded at the same time, and you could completely imagine what was happening on the other side of the headset.

The girl seemed to be used to the BOSS's lack of tone. She waited in the rain for a while. When the earphones calmed down, she asked again: "Do you need me to control him?"

"You are already a mature employee. You can do whatever you want."

Along with Lao Wen's laughter, the communication was hung up.

The girl nodded. During the conversation, she had arrived at the door of the bookstore. The glass looked hazy in the rain, and she could only see the warm light inside.

The next development will naturally not be unexpected.

It was nothing more than screams, curses, panic, despair, and finally humility and prayer.

She has done similar work many times, but she doesn't think scaring bugs is an interesting thing. On the contrary, this kind of work only makes her feel bored.

The girl didn't knock on the door, she opened the door and entered.

The next moment, layers of fear like a turbulent wave exploded in her mind.
