Chapter 156 Book Friends
"It's not even." Qin Jian stopped slowly in mid-sentence and gave up.

Intuitively, there was a pit ahead, but looking at Qin Jian who couldn't hide his smile, He Si couldn't help but ask, "What is that?"

"It's a perfect match, a perfect match made in heaven and earth."

"Who wants to match you?"

"It's not fair anyway."

After bickering like a child, the entanglement surrounding He Si completely disappeared, and her mind returned to the purpose of her trip.

"The Duke of Argyle's camera hasn't arrived yet, and I can't summon my illusion at will. I'm afraid the traces of the little stone can only be found through the four cases of people who suddenly fell into coma. Otherwise, let's go and join forces with Fan Yu."

"No rush." ​​Qin Jian shook his head.

"Are you going to wait and see?"

"Not really, it's just that Fan Yu said that those four people are from far and wide, so visiting them one by one would be a waste of time."

"Although they are far apart, the real crux lies in Yan Yan. The other three people were all affected by that book. I think we can just go to Yan Yan."

"Listen to Ah Si." After Qin Jian finished speaking, he added, "But before that, I want to go to a place first."

"where?"

"bookstore."

"That book..." He Si immediately understood what Qin Jian meant, and Qin Jian stopped talking and took He Si's hand toward the exit.

"Wait a minute," He Si took two steps, as if being hindered by something, and then stopped again, "Yanyan is an Internet writer. If you want to read this book, you can search it on your phone."

"That would be faster." Qin Jian followed suit, but did not take out his mobile phone. He stared blankly at He Si with a pair of dark eyes. He was obviously used to holding hands with the shopkeeper, waiting for her to hand the book to him.

"Sure enough, we can't expect too much from the old man." He Si sighed and resignedly started searching on her phone, "This is it, where is the magical cultural relic."

Hearing this, Qin Jian did not argue, lowered his head and leaned over. On the densely packed square characters, their hair was blown up by the breeze, almost tangled.

But He Si didn't realize at all how close the two people's posture was now. Instead, she thoughtfully put the phone between the two of them: "It's too long. I don't know where this Guanyin sitting upside down appears?"

"Well, indeed," Qin Jian's slender fingers hovered above the screen, wanting to operate, but hesitating a little, "Can I search? I often hear Xiao Lin say that you can search for keywords."

"I don't know," He Si was stumped and randomly tested the buttons, "I'll give it a try."

"Don't worry, if you can't find it, you can ask Xiao Lin for help."

"What are you looking at?" A clear female voice sounded from behind. The two people who were busy studying the web page functions did not even notice the approaching person. They were startled. He Si even instinctively turned off the screen of her phone and stepped back. After several steps, I finally saw the person coming. She was a little girl wearing black-rimmed glasses and a bookish look, who looked a bit like Yanyan.

"I'm sorry for scaring you, I just...just," the girl said, sticking out her tongue, "I'm just curious if you are book lovers?"

"Book friend?"

"I just heard you talk about where the magical artifacts are. Are you here to check in too?"

Unexpectedly, the little girl she met in the hotel at the beginning was so popular. He Si sighed secretly and was about to recognize her identity as a book friend to make a conversation. She nodded halfway, but Qin Jian took over the conversation. "No." He said firmly, and the eyes in the black-rimmed glasses opposite him also lost their luster, but then Qin Jian said, "But I have a friend who likes this book very much."

"No wonder, I knew I heard it right." The little girl was excited again, but He Si couldn't guess Qin Jian's intention.

"He learned that we were coming to Longxing Temple and insisted that we check in for him. I was about to take pictures but couldn't contact him. I didn't know what angle would satisfy him, so I wanted to find a detailed description in the book, but I just found it roughly. I’ve been searching, but I haven’t been able to find the corresponding chapter.”

Qin Jian was born to be eye-catching, but now his expression of confusion and asking for help made the little girl completely unable to resist, and he immediately recommended: "That's it, then you must go to the Mani Palace to take a picture."

"Is it the famous Guanyin sitting upside down?"

"Yeah, yeah, look, this is what I just took." The girl said, taking out another book from her backpack, "I'll lend it to you. I brought this specially. Like me, you If the original work and the Guanyin statue are photographed together, your friends will definitely be satisfied."

"This is a good method. I want to use that page in the book directly to compose the picture. Can you help me find it?"

"Yes, just using the cover is too cookie-cutter. Different chapters contain different cultural relics. Why didn't I think of that?" The little girl said to herself, without stopping, she quickly turned the page to what Qin Jian was looking for. That page.

The two of them were talking back and forth like this, while He Si stood aside and studied quietly - it turned out that if he had just become a book friend, it would be contradictory to ask for details now, but like Qin In view of this, if I start with a friend, all difficulties will be easily solved. Of course, all this requires a good skin.

He Si sorted out the steps of deception and abduction, and the conversation on the other side came to an end. Qin Jian began to thank him as usual.

"Thank you very much. I didn't expect that by such a coincidence, I would meet someone who is a fan of this book here."

"It's not entirely a coincidence."

"Not exactly...what do you mean?"

"Yanyan's autograph signing was originally held at the Loft Bookstore nearby, which happened to be today. Unfortunately, I heard that Yanyan was ill, so the autograph signing was cancelled."

"Are you sick? Is it serious?" He Si interjected pretending to be casual.

"I don't know, but she hasn't updated in a while. This has never happened before."

"So...are you here to pray for her?"

"No," the girl winked playfully, "The autograph signing is gone, but the previously announced check-in bonus event has not been cancelled. In order to appease the readers who came, the organizer also specially added more information, relying on the original book and any mentions in the book. If you take a group photo with a cultural relic, you can receive a full set of new book peripherals, and those whose group photo is selected by the official will also receive a to-sign."

"I understand, the cultural relics in the book closest to the event location are here, so it's not entirely a coincidence that I meet a fan of this book here."

"That's right, so when I heard you guys discussing that book, I thought you were also book friends," the girl said, waving to the two of them, "My mission is complete, bye."

He Si watched the girl's energetic back disappear outside the wall, and couldn't help but think of Yan Yan again. She was also so energetic in her memory. Lao Chaofeng's thoughts had long been diverted from the girl. He couldn't understand the peripherals or to sign, but he caught the key point from the dancing description just now - in the attic bookstore not far away, there were a large number of books that were useful to them. Information about Yan Yan and her book.

"My cell phone doesn't work. It seems I have to go to the bookstore."

"That's right," He Si thought, and then said unconvincingly, "What a cunning old man."

"This is called scheming."

"The idioms are very particular."

"I learned it all from Fan Chu."
