Chapter 40: "witness"

I don’t know if the shopkeeper used Mr. Lu Xun’s famous article "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore" when he named Baicao Bookstore.

When Zhang Yun walked into the bookstore, the first thing he saw in front of him was the stall in the middle, neatly arranged teaching materials. The bookshelves on both sides of the booth were filled with various popular novels.

Due to the influence of the national online shopping, various physical stores have suffered a huge blow, and bookstores can still be opened, thanks to the students.

Students who are still growing up prefer to choose the review materials and workbooks they want in the bookstore. Or buy a copy of "Reader", buy a comic, for leisure and entertainment.

"It seems that the students still go to the bookstore now?" Zhang Yun muttered, and walked inside, bypassing a few chirping students.

There are countless novels in the bookstore. However, Zhang Yun followed the bookshelf and looked from the front to the back. After looking for it for a long time, Zhang Yun didn't find a science fiction novel.

No, I still found one, and that is "The Rift" by Mo Fei.

It is prominently located on the popular novel bookshelf.

Picking it up, Zhang Yun took a brief look at the introduction.

"The Rift" is about the encounter between earth civilization and alien civilization in the future era, and the relationship between the two sides will change from mutual hostility to mutual cooperation. The "crack" does not mean the rift between the earthlings and the aliens, but the gradual elimination of the gap between the two in cooperation and communication, and mutual understanding.

Quite idealistic thinking.

"I think it should be... not bad, right?" Zhang Yun roughly speculated.

Zhang Yun hasn't read many science fiction novels either. At most, he has read a "Three-Body", or because it was too popular back then, he followed the trend. Thinking about it carefully, science fiction literature does not seem to have much influence in China, and there are basically no people paying attention to many science fiction novels and magazines.

The same is true in this parallel world. In this bookstore, there is not even a place for science fiction.

At least until now, Zhang Yun has only seen the science fiction novel "The Rift".

""Crack" is a very good science fiction novel. The author Mo Fei described an alien civilization completely different from humans in it. It is worth seeing." Suddenly, a woman's voice came from beside Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun looked back and saw a beautiful woman in a knee-length dress standing next to her. The woman has long hair in a shawl and wears a pair of rimless glasses.

Huh? Encounter in a bookstore?

The old-fashioned plot flashed in Zhang Yun's mind, but he said: "Sounds good. This book seems to be very popular?"

The woman smiled and said, "Of course, this book has been featured in "Science Fiction" magazine and it has been very popular this year. Many students have come to buy it."

"It looks like it's really hot." Zhang Yun responded and said.

"Are you looking for science fiction? I can recommend it for you." The woman said with a smile.

"That's great, I haven't even found a science fiction novel anywhere." Zhang Yun said with joy.

"In the corner, no one pays attention to science fiction." The woman said, bending down and took out a book from the corner beside her. "This book, "The End of the World", is about time travel."

Zhang Yun took it, and the woman took another copy: "This book, "Xinghai", is a work by the Chinese surgical illusion master Longqi, which talks about interstellar civilization."

"There is also this book, "Countless Stars", which is from the side of the stupid, and it is also about civilization, but it is about the war between the empire and the Federation."

"There is also this..." The woman, like a few treasures, introduced to Zhang Yun one by one. After a while, Zhang Yun held seven or eight books in his hands.

Zhang Yun listened to the novels for a long time, and found that every science fiction novel he could find similar on the earth.

For example, time travel, there is "Interstellar"; star civilization, there have also been "Star Wars" and so on; the war between the empire and the federation, it sounds like "our journey is the sea of ​​stars" "The Legend of the Galaxy" also has a certain The degree of similarity. (Actually, the subject of opposition between the Empire and the Federation, the first thing I thought of was "Jianke"!!!)

Oh, but the former is a book, and the latter is a film and television work.

Although the themes of these works are similar, Zhang Yun still took it, and prepared to go back and refer to it to see what different ideas can be found.

"There is this one too." Zhang Yun was thinking about it, and the woman took another novel over. "This novel is quite interesting. At the beginning, it said that the male protagonist was exiled to an alien space. He tried to survive in this space. He wanted to escape, and finally found a way. But when he thought he could finally escape, he found that he had just entered the next alien dimension. In the end, he desperately discovered that he was actually there all the time. Infinite loops in countless spaces..."

"Infinite loop..." Zhang Yun muttered along the woman's words.

"Yes, infinite loop, no end." The woman repeated.

"Infinite loop..." Zhang Yun suddenly lit up, "If you write that out, it should be ok!"

Zhang Yun said to himself.

"What are you talking about?" The woman who was describing the plot couldn't help but ask Zhang Yun when she didn't hear Zhang Yun's words clearly.

"Nothing, thank you for introducing these novels for me." Zhang Yun smiled kindly, and then put all the books in his hand back on the shelf.

The woman was stunned: "You don't want to buy it?"

"When did I say I would buy it?" Zhang Yun wondered.

"...Fortunately, I was still selling sales here for a long time, but you didn't even buy it." The woman sighed in disappointment when she heard Zhang Yun say this.

Now it was Zhang Yun's turn to be stunned: "Are you...selling?"

"Otherwise, who would be okay to say this!" The woman said gloomily, "I wonder if someone will finally clear the backlog of science fiction in my store for a long time, and you won't even buy a copy.

"It wasn't like that when you came to the bookstore last time. At that time, you bought all the books that were related to screenwriters."

When the woman said this, Zhang Yun remembered it in a daze: "You, are you the owner of this bookstore?"

The original owner did come to this bookstore before and bought a lot of books about screenwriters. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yun will directly come here to find inspiration.

When reminded by the woman, Zhang Yun vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen this very quiet girl in a dress.

He said why this person came to introduce him so enthusiastically, he turned out to be the owner of the bookstore!

Seeing that Zhang Yun bought a lot of books last time, she took the initiative to sell them this time!

Zhang Yun couldn't laugh or cry when he understood.

I thought I was going to a bookstore to encounter it!

"Strictly speaking, I am actually the boss's wife." The woman corrected.

"Yes, yes, lady boss." Zhang Yun changed his words. "I didn't recognize it just now. I thought you were a science fiction fan."

The woman glanced at Zhang Yun: "How enthusiastic science fiction lovers can be so enthusiastic to recommend science fiction to others?"

"That has to be a demon." Zhang Yun said in a serpent.

In real life, few people are really nosy. There are people who come to help enthusiastically, that is absolutely nothing to ask for!

Like the scenario where the male protagonist is reading a book on TV, and the female protagonist ran over to introduce the plot, it really only happens in the TV series.

——No, even in the TV series, isn’t that also an excitement?

"In this way, you have been talking about it for a long time, and I will buy two copies." After thinking about the logic, Zhang Yun felt that people had spent a long time talking and felt a little embarrassed to spend no money.

When you buy two novels, you should pay the "phone bill".

"Forget it, you won't solve the problem by buying two copies." The lady boss said, put the books on the shelf, turned around and left.

Seeing the boss's wife leaving, Zhang Yun hesitated, but took two copies and went to the front desk to pay the bill.

"Said no need." The lady boss said while scanning the code.

"Just take care of the business." Zhang Yun said casually.

The lady boss rolled her eyes: "If you really think so, please help me pack all the science fiction that no one reads, otherwise, those books will have to be thrown away sooner or later."

"No one bought and put it there, what to throw away?" Zhang Yun asked strangely.

The lady boss said: "There is something wrong at home. I want to redeem this bookstore. It may be changed to a breakfast shop."

After that, she said again: "Should I be cheaper and sell it to you?"

...

After half an hour, Zhang Yun looked at the tens of science fiction on the floor and scratched his head helplessly.

"The sales success rate of beautiful women is really high!"

Zhang Yun sighed and called Liu Mingyang instead.

"Hey, Director Liu, the script has ideas."

"Really? Tell me about it?"

"A suspenseful story with cyberpunk as the background." Zhang Yun said so, "I have thought about the name, so it's called-"The Witness"!"
