The next moment after making the selection, the space of the dark system seemed to begin to surge.

Loya suddenly felt a damp breath, and then the breath disappeared at the same time as the system made a sound.

[You have accepted the event, in which you only need to complete some tasks. 】

[Special readers-anonymous book publishing]

[The number of your works becomes 1]

I was all ready to go into battle, and in the end I still wrote a book.

Thinking about it, Loya clicked on the system description:

[I asked the traveler: Why are you wandering? 】

[The traveler said: My hometown is no longer there, only a distant place remains. 】

[I asked Lonely: Why don’t you want to leave? 】

[Loneliness said: Listen, listen, it was me who was left behind by her. 】

[So I asked the singer: Please be more sad. 】

[Don’t let loneliness go away, don’t let travelers feel homesick. 】

Chapter 28 People in need

Loya thought this time would be as smooth as the previous times. Based on the description provided by the system, he directly took out a copy of "The Old Man and the Sea" and solved the incident perfectly.

It was not until three days later that the book was returned intact.

Loya stared at "The Old Man and the Sea" which was sent out just in the morning, and fell into deep thought.

[This book has been returned by the recipient, reading progress: 0%]

In other words, I didn’t even read the preface, or even the title of the book.

There is no other way, Loya can only mess it up, but the system prohibits it.

[Due to the special nature of the incident, communication channels are now open]

An ordinary piece of white paper appeared in front of Loya. The so-called communication channel should be writing on it.

I took out my pen and thought about it for a while, and finally gave up on any long speech and wrote a simple sentence instead.

"If you need help, ask me for help and I'll help you."

After sending this sentence, Loya did not do anything extra.

His principle is to help those in need within his ability.

And if the other party insists on refusing, Loya will not do anything to impress himself.

Let’s put it aside for now.

Such a decisive refusal can at least prove that the recipient now has a way out. Even if the incident fails in the end, it can also give Loya some comfort.

"I never thought I would encounter such a problem one day."

Talking to himself, Loya put away "The Old Man and the Sea".

If he receives a reply, it means that the recipient is so desperate that he seeks help from a stranger whom he has never met, and who may even have some purpose.

If no reply is received, the event fails, and there is no reward or punishment.

Generally speaking, Loya prefers the second outcome.

It was already nightfall, and just as Luo Ya was about to return to his residence, the Ministry of Culture's communicator rang again.

Well, it seems that we don’t want to go back.

After connecting the communicator and waiting for the other party to speak, Luo Ya said directly:

"Kelsey, don't forget to pay your overtime pay."

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds.

"Come to my office." The old woman interrupted the communication.

She is still so unkind.

I wish you will choke on your drinking water tomorrow, and may you grow old and lose your beauty the day after tomorrow.

Cursing continuously in his heart, Loya pushed open the office door with a straight face, sat down on the sofa without any image, and spread his legs.

"what!"

"...There is something urgent."

As soon as he heard that there was something serious, Luo Ya straightened his sitting posture and said seriously:

"You also know that there is someone waiting for me at home. If you have anything to do, it's best to talk during the day."

"Feel sorry……"

Realizing something was wrong, Kelsey's tone was sincere, she handed Loya a cup of coffee and sat across from her.

This is why Loya doesn't hate her.

I always feel that Kelsey has a heavy burden on her, which leads her to subconsciously ignore some common sense, which is not really indifferent.

After five days of therapy with Liz, Kelsey spoke out.

"After several days of diagnosis, I concluded that the child's psychology was in a state of self-isolation and she needed someone to enter her heart."

"Originally Theresa was the most suitable for this kind of job, but she said you are the best candidate."

Luo Ya thought for a long time and couldn't figure out why he was the best candidate, but now he obviously couldn't shirk it.

"Okay," Loya sighed, "What should I do."

"Try to interact with her for an hour every night. As for how to interact...it depends on you."

"Then I'll go get ready first." Loya stood up and left.

When I walked to the door, I heard a voice behind me:

"Thanks for your hard work."

Smiling, Loya closed the door.

Returning to the Ministry of Culture and picking up pen and paper, Loya was still ready to do what he was best at - writing stories.

Even without the help of the system, he can still write the stories that are familiar in his memory.

Only about 5 minutes passed before the story was completed.

Loya walked into the medical room and opened the innermost door.

What comes into view is a white world.

Walls, floor, ceiling and bed, there is nothing else here.

And even at night, the lights never went out.

The surroundings were all white, and only Liz curled up on the corner of the bed added a different color to this small world.

She had already put on the dress given by The Shining, and her smooth blond hair had regained its luster after treatment, but she still hugged her legs and remained motionless, burying her face between them.

Luo Ya came to the bedside and said softly:

"Hello Liz, I'm here to make friends with you Loya."

Seeing that Liz didn't react at all, Loya continued:

"I am good at writing and telling stories. If you like it, I will bring new stories to tell you every night."

With that said, Loya began to read the manuscript.

"According to legend, there was a poor fisherman on the sea who caught a copper bottle one day..."

With the ups and downs of Loya's voice, the story quickly becomes engrossing.

The fisherman wanted to sell the copper bottle to support his family, but he heard a cry for help inside. The fisherman opened it and released a devil sealed inside.

At first, the devil vowed to repay the person who saved him, but after a full thousand and eight hundred years, the hatred in the devil's heart became more and more intense, and he finally decided to kill whoever saved him.

"But the fisherman was very unwilling. He said: 'I saved you, but you repaid me with kindness.'"

"I regret saving someone I shouldn't have saved, which led to me ending up like this!"

After reading this, Loya suddenly raised his voice, and then stopped abruptly.

Taking a secret glance at Liz, the girl quietly raised her head, revealing her two eyes. Her aqua blue eyes were staring at him with energy.

"Oh my gosh, I actually forgot to write it later."

Luo Ya looked annoyed and said disappointedly:

"Forget it, Liz doesn't like hearing my stories either."

"Whether the devil who repaid kindness with revenge succeeded in killing the fisherman? It seems that this story is destined to have no ending."

After saying that, Luo Ya turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly felt the corner of his clothes being gently pulled.

Smiling softly and looking back, Loya tried to approach her. Just before his right hand was about to land on Liz's blond hair, the girl retracted again.

take it easy.

Loya comforted her softly: "It's very late today, I'm very sleepy, and Liz is also very sleepy, right?"

"Don't worry, if you like it, I will come again tomorrow night... Good night."

Before leaving, Loya turned off the light, and darkness once again occupied the small room.

After observing for a while and making sure there was nothing unusual, he returned to the office.

"You turned off the lights," Kelsey was surprised. "You are indeed the best candidate, Loya."

"I understand why Amiya likes you so much."

"Um...can't you turn off the lights?"

"Based on the experience of the past few days, Liz will be stressed in a dark environment... That's it, this record can be deleted."

After briefly reporting the situation, he returned to the room and coaxed W. Loya closed his eyes to face tomorrow.

And the book collector on the other side will also end this night.

"Scadi, what are you looking at?"

Juan was about to go upstairs to sleep when he turned around and found that the person downstairs was reading a piece of paper.

"No, nothing."

Skadi folded the paper and returned to his room.

It should be the same person who delivered the book in the morning.

Skadi didn't like reading and couldn't even read or write, so he didn't open the book.

This time when she got the piece of paper, the words on it turned into a deep male voice, and it seemed that only she could hear it.

But Skadi doesn't feel the need to help, at least she now has a new companion and a new start.

Without throwing the paper away, Skadi lay back on the bed.

Tomorrow, Juan will accept the bounty mission with himself.

Chapter 29 One night, one story

The next day, bounty hunters Skadi and Juan prepare to embark on the journey.

The weather is sunny today, but in Iberia, the weather is always fickle, and it may become stormy in the afternoon.

Old Jose didn't want to see his son get too close to Skadi, but when he saw the look in Juan's eyes, he couldn't help but shook his head and said nothing.

"Scadi," Old Jose called, "I'll give you something when you come back."

"Oh."

Scarty adjusted his hat and didn't take old Jose's words to heart.

This operation was Juan's insistence on carrying out, and Skadi seemed to be uninterested.
