Dimensional Bookstore

When Su Ran woke up, it was still dark. He sat at the head of the bed, listening to the ticking of the alarm clock, his heart beating so fast that it was about to explode.

It had been ten days, and he had the same dream every night. In the dream, he was dressed in a black robe, like a wizard, hiding from the pursuit of the Church with his companions.

If it was just like this, it would not be enough to scare him.

What really terrified him was that he was a murderer who burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil!

In his dream, he had used death magic to kill the people in a village, he killed 99 virgins and used their souls as sacrifices, and he even conducted inhumane human experiments!

The bloody scenes made him tear his eyes and almost go crazy. And what made him most horrified was still to come.

Every night after he woke up from his dream, the book would appear at the head of his bed, glowing slightly.

Yes, that book, the book he brought back from that person's store. He took a few books from the bookcase without even reading them, and only discovered the strangeness of the book when he got home.

The title was written in blood-red cursive characters that he didn't recognize. After reading it for a long time, it made people feel sick. Su Ran always suspected that he could smell a faint smell of blood. Then there was the book cover. The book cover was slightly yellow and delicate to the touch. It was made of an unknown material. Su Ran felt his scalp tingling when he touched it. He even had a bad visual sense that he was touching human skin.

Because of this bad impression, Su Ran didn't even open the book, but threw it directly into the trash can downstairs.

Then that night, his nightmare began. Blood, killing and evil appeared in every corner of his dream, and he could only read it over and over again while awake, and then collapsed again and again in his dream.

For a moment, he even wanted to end it all by committing suicide!

Then when he finally got out of the dream, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he found something that made him collapse even more.

That book!

The book that he had thrown into the garbage dump downstairs!

At this moment, it appeared at his bedside again, with the pages turned from the middle, and a faint evil red light emanated from it.

At that moment, Su Ran's mind was blank. The fear not only made him unable to speak, but also made his whole body stiff and unable to move.

After an unknown period of time, he slowly regained consciousness. He tentatively got out of bed slowly and moved backwards step by step towards the door. What relieved him was that the book had been staying there quietly, and there was no other abnormality except for the glow.

He quickly rushed into the living room to get a plastic bag, ran into the bedroom, closed his eyes and put the book in it, and this time threw it into the trash can at the entrance of the community.

Then, the next day, he woke up from his dream in a sweat, and then found the book he had lost again from the bedside table.

...

In the next few days, he tried to sink it into a pond, burn it, and tear it up. What made him desperate was that the book was safe and sound, and even if he threw the book to another city, the book would still appear at his bedside the next day.

He even installed surveillance in the bedroom, wanting to know what happened in the room while he was sleeping.

Then he desperately discovered that after he fell asleep, the book suddenly appeared at the head of the bed. What frightened him even more was that a huge red skull appeared above the open book! The skull stood in front of his bed, with blood-red ghost lights floating in its dark eye sockets, staring at him in his sleep. In the surveillance video, his face was as pale as a dead person!

He knew he couldn't go on like this.

This was the book he bought from the terrible man, and the words that the monster-like man said were full of deep meaning when he savored them carefully.

The monster was using this method to make him go back to find him! Although he resisted this from the bottom of his heart, he had no choice.

If this continued, even if he was not killed by this horrible book, he would die from continuous nightmares.

He threw the book into the trunk of the car with a pale face and drove in panic towards the direction of the man's bookstore.

The alley was too small for the car to drive in. He got out of the car and trembled as he picked up the black plastic bag containing the book from the trunk. He looked up inadvertently and saw the black cat squatting on the high wall, looking at him thoughtfully.

There was a human-like thinking in those golden eyes, as if the person sitting there was not a black cat, but a human who turned into a black cat!

Su Ran was frightened by his own thoughts and then quickly shook his head with a smile. This book made him nervous, so that he now felt abnormal when he saw a black cat.

As if to prove something, he smiled and greeted the black cat who was looking down at him: "Hi, see you again."

The black cat stared at him silently, and its furry tail swung behind it. After Su Ran finished speaking, he also felt a little crazy. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, ignored the black cat, and walked into the alley.

"How pitiful." An elegant and noble male voice sounded behind him, "It looks like it has entangled him."

Su Ran froze in place, goose bumps popping up one after another in an instant.

No way?

Could it be what he thought?

As if to respond to his inner speculation, the black cat with smooth fur walked up to the high wall in front of him with elegant cat steps. The golden cat eyes narrowed slightly, the cat's mouth opened and closed, and uttered a human voice that made him collapse. : "I suggest you throw away the book in your hand quickly, otherwise you will be killed."

At that moment, all kinds of urban legends about black cats came to Su Ran's mind. It is said that black cats are psychic and are messengers from the underworld...

"This... Master Cat?" Su Ran asked tentatively, "Why do you say that?"

Victor thought to himself: Of course because I used magic to trick you into buying this book. But he wouldn't say that to Su Ran. He said enigmatically: "Because that bag exudes an ominous aura. If I'm not wrong, is there a book in it?"

Su Ran's eyes lit up and she answered repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"

"And it's a book made of human skin." Black Cat added.

Su Ran's face suddenly turned green. Although he had already made assumptions before, he was even more panicked now after being confirmed by Black Cat.

"What should I do?!" He was sweating profusely and looked up at the black cat standing proudly on the wall, as if looking at the last straw. "Can you save me? I don't want to die!"

Victor pretended to be embarrassed and said: "This is difficult to handle. I don't care, but you just..." He closed his mouth and hesitated to speak, looking at the anxious young man below.

Su Ran almost knelt down in front of this appetizing cat ancestor. He broke down and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Black Cat glanced at him and said slowly: "You have to pay some price."

Su Ran's eyes lit up and she immediately said: "As long as you can help me get rid of this book, I can dedicate half of my personal property to you!"

Victor glanced at him with disdain and scolded: "Don't just open your mouth to ask for money. Is this vulgar?"

Su Ran nodded understandingly and immediately changed his words: "I will build a golden body for you and offer you incense every year!"

Victor: ...Always feel like something is wrong?

Victor felt that there was a deep cultural generation gap between him and this human being.

Too lazy to talk to this ignorant human from another world, he said bluntly: "The price is your soul."

Su Ran's face slowly changed after tasting these words. He took a step back in horror and shouted in the black cat's puzzled eyes: "I'm not dead yet! Don't even think about detaining me to the underworld!"

Victor:? ? ?

"Victor." A familiar cold voice suddenly sounded from around the corner.

Su Ran turned her head in panic, and asked Le Jing to fold her arms, lean against the wall, and raise her eyelids to look coolly at the black cat on the wall.

The next second, in front of Su Ran, the mysterious and cool messenger of the underworld, Master Black Cat, let out a weak little cat cry: "Meow." Then he jumped down neatly with his tail between his legs, and trotted over to The young man grabbed his trouser legs in front of him and asked in a flattering tone: "Why are you here?"

The young man glanced at him, and his voice contained no emotion or anger: "What were you doing just now?"

The black cat turned his head to look at Su Ran with a guilty conscience, with a hint of threat in his eyes: "I will practice my spoken Chinese with this gentleman. If you don't believe me, ask him!"

Faced with the calm gaze of the young man that contained pressure, Su Ran tremblingly chose to tell the truth: "He...he said he would help me lift the curse of the book, but the price is my soul."

The young man lowered his head and glanced at the black cat coolly, raised his feet to break free from the black cat's claws, turned around and left, leaving behind a clear command: "Go back and make instant noodles."

Victor turned around and glared at Su Ran fiercely, and then hurriedly ran to catch up with the young man. The sound of bargaining between the black cat and the young man could be heard in the distance.

Su Ran wiped his face in confusion, feeling that this development was really fantastic. After more than ten seconds, he finally came to his senses. He picked up the plastic bag and chased after the man and the cat: "Wait!"

The young man turned sideways and glanced at him: "Is something wrong?"

Su Ran, sweating profusely, raised the bag in his hand to the young man and said quickly: "I bought this book from your store! You are responsible!"

The young man's eyes lingered thoughtfully on the black plastic bag for a moment, then he raised his chin forward and said calmly: "Let's talk about it in the store."

So Su Ran carefully followed Le Jing into the bookstore, with a fearful attitude as if Le Jing's store was some sort of dragon's den.

Le Jing looked at him speechlessly and couldn't help but tease: "Why are you so afraid? I won't kill you."

As a result, Su Ran's complexion became much better visible to the naked eye, and he didn't look as nervous as before.

Le Jing:……

He narrowed his eyes in displeasure and asked coldly: "Tell me, what's going on?"

But Su Ran, who was supposed to hold Le Jing's lap and cry for help, suddenly fell silent. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the TV hanging on the wall with a pale face.

Le Jing followed his gaze and was startled for a moment.

The third episode of "Revolutionary Road" that he uploaded to the video website was playing on the TV. Ever since Victor discovered the play he had uploaded to his computer, especially after discovering that he also appeared in the play, he became completely obsessed with "Revolutionary Road." He thinks the computer screen is too small, so he usually watches it on TV after connecting to the Internet.

And this episode is playing the plot of Tatora giving a speech at the witch gathering place to mobilize witches to join the war.

Of course that's okay.

The camera should never have given a close-up of a book on the table where Dodora was working.

Dark yellow cover, blood-red cursive words. Earthlings can't understand it, but with Le Ling's translation, he knows the meaning of the blood words.

"Blood Sacrifice"

Su Ran opened the plastic bag with trembling hands, and looked at the evil and terrifying book that An Jing had placed in the bag in horror.

Dark yellow cover, blood-red cursive words. Although he didn't know the meaning of the blood words, his experiences in these days made him deeply engrave every character in his heart.

There was no need to verify too much, the same creepy and weird feeling could not deceive people.

At just one glance, his intuition had sounded the alarm: the book in the camera and the book in his hand were the same.
