Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

Seeing the group of gang members who were about to fight in front of Corey's store, Dorothy thought of this, and Greg frowned after seeing this scene, and hurriedly urged Dorothy.

"Let's go find other places quickly, don't stay here..."

"Um……"

Dorothy nodded, and then quickened her pace with Greg, and soon they reached the other end of White Pearl Street.

"Dorothy, the atmosphere on White Pearl Street is not right recently. If we can't find the book, let's go back quickly."

Sensing the slightly subtle atmosphere around him, Greg said seriously. After Dorothy, who was beside him, looked around, she suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and pointed forward with her fingers.

"Ah, there is an old bookstore over there, let's go over there and have a look!"

"A used bookstore?"

Listening to Dorothy's words, Greg looked in the direction of her finger, and then saw the signboard of a store.

"Barnard... Do you collect used books? Hmm... there really is a place that sells used books, go and have a look."

Then, Dorothy and Greg walked to the bookstore together, and after opening the store door, they came into a slightly dim space.

Rows of bookshelves nailed by old wooden boards are arranged, and old books are placed on them. The young man looked at the siblings who came in with alert eyes.

"Excuse me, sir, do you sell second-hand books here?"

Looking at the alert fellow in front of her, Dorothy said.

Chapter 63 Opportunities

"Used books? Yes...we mainly collect books here, but we can also rent books and sell books."

Standing behind the counter, the alert guy answered Dorothy's question, and Dorothy continued to talk after listening.

"Then may I ask if you have these books here?" Dorothy took out a note from her pocket and handed it to the clerk behind the counter. The clerk frowned slightly after reading it.

"The fourth volume of "Glorious Gospel"...the third volume of "Rhetoric and Speech"...the third volume of "Adolph's Logic"..."Basic Etiquette"..."Geometric Arithmetic"...Hey, guest, what do you want?" There are a lot of books here, I don’t know if there are any in the store, how about this, you wait here, I will call the boss.”

The counter clerk replied to Dorothy, and Dorothy immediately agreed.

"Well, then I will trouble you."

Afterwards, Dorothy watched the clerk go up the stairs behind the counter to the second floor.

……

On the second floor of the bookstore at this time, a bald old man was standing in a dark secret room. In front of his eyes was an altar made of bright red bones. On the altar, there was an ear growing on the squirming flesh and blood. and a mouth.

"So, you still haven't seen the mentor in the end?"

Facing the bloody altar, Clifford spoke solemnly, and the mouth on the altar began to speak, and Buck's voice came through.

"No, I visited the mentor's dream cocoon from the dream world, but the dream cocoon refused to open to me. I couldn't enter the mentor's dream, and couldn't see him in person."

"Sigh...the mentor's preparation for promotion is too cautious. It seems that it is impossible to rely on the mentor for the time being." Clifford said with a sigh, and Buck also responded through the altar.

"Well... so we need to be more careful now. Since the mysterious association can counter-divinate, all kinds of information are still unclear, so don't directly search for them in the city for the time being."

"Then leave them alone?"

"It's not that we don't care about it... Maybe we can use other channels to find them, such as the Anyin Bureau..." Buck continued, listening to Buck's words, Clifford couldn't help but look puzzled.

"An Yin Bureau?"

"Yes, that association has voluntarily disclosed our information to the Anyin Bureau twice, and I wonder if there is any connection between them and the Anyin Bureau that even our informants don't know about.

"Or to put it more boldly, James has already noticed the existence of the insider, but he can't confirm who it is. The association was actually formed by James secretly applying to his superiors for additional staff. They hid in Igwinter as other Form an association, bypass Igwent and separate and carry out the search operation on us alone, so as to bypass our informant."

Buck continued to speak seriously about his conjecture. After hearing his conjecture, Clifford was slightly taken aback, and then said.

"You mean to say that the mysterious association is actually a clone of the Anyin Bureau?"

"That's right... Otherwise, when an association from out of town comes to Igwynte, it can't help but target us. If he was originally a cover-up of the Security Bureau, it would make sense!" Buck said in a reasonable tone. Speaking of which, Clifford also nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems that what you said makes sense. There are no scarce mysterious resources in places like Igwent that can attract other associations. It would make sense if it was also the Security Bureau. But... since James is capable Apply for more manpower, so why doesn't he apply for one or two chances of divination?"

"Huh... divination is so easy to apply for. There are more than 80 cities in Preet and more than 80 Anyin sub-bureaus. Each of them has its own difficult problems that need to be solved by divination. There are only so many divination resources. I I suspect that their general office is not enough for themselves, how much can they distribute to the following? James has to compete with more than 80 colleagues, in comparison, it must be much more convenient to apply for manpower..." Buck said with a cold snort , it seems that he still has a good understanding of the Anyin Bureau.

"Indeed... That's true... Then, if that mysterious society is really a clone of the Security Bureau, how should we deal with it?" Clifford said seriously, and Buck also replied.

"Don't make any big moves recently, especially the search for that mysterious association is temporarily terminated. On the other hand, we can find opportunities to deepen the erosion of the Igwent branch. If our informants in the Anyin Bureau If we can get more and finally come into contact with James himself, then I believe we can also get a lot of information about that mysterious association."

"Well... now that's the only way to go, but where can I find this opportunity..."

Clifford said in a deep voice, and at this moment, a voice sounded outside the dark room.

"Mr Clifford, are you there?"

Hearing the voice outside, Clifford was startled, and then said to the altar.

"Okay, let's stop here today..."

"Ah."

As he spoke, Clifford knocked on the bright red altar, causing the mouth and ears on it to return to squirming flesh, then he turned on the mechanism, walked out of the dark room, and said to the man in front of him after closing the dark room.

"What's the matter?"

"That's Mr. Clifford, there are a lot of old books that a customer wants downstairs, and I can't find them all. Please come and find them yourself." The clerk responded immediately, and Clifford snorted coldly.

"Hmph... I'm looking for books again. I'm troublesome. I might as well close this store in the future. Anyway, I haven't received any good things for a long time."

While talking, Clifford walked downstairs. When he walked to the counter on the first floor and wanted to see who was looking for books, he suddenly paused.

What appeared in front of Clifford at this time was a young man and a young girl, and the appearance of the young girl directly reminded him of some important information.

'White hair, red eyes... Could it be...'

"Excuse me, are you the owner of this shop?" Dorothy asked, looking at Clifford who was a little stunned, and Clifford responded immediately.

"Ah, yes, yes, haha, I am the owner of this store. May I ask this gentleman or lady, which one of you is looking for a book?" With a smile, Clifford said directly, while Dorothy was Respond immediately by raising your hand.

"It's me, sir. Do you have any of these books here?"

While talking, Dorothy passed the note in her hand to Clifford, and Clifford immediately opened it to check it after receiving it.

"The fourth volume of "Glorious Gospel"...the third volume of "Adolph's Logic"..."Rhetoric and Speech"...ah...they are all books related to middle school courses. This lady really loves learning, it is worth it Praise, just right, I have all the books you want here, please wait a moment, I will find them for you, this may take some time, sit down slowly, both of you."

While talking, Clifford looked at the guy at the side, and then said.

"Danny, serve black tea to the two guests..."

"Black tea...Understood, sir."

While talking, Clifford walked towards the old bookshelf, and began to look for books on the bookshelf, while the guy at the side ran upstairs and started pouring tea on a coffee table.

After filling two teacups with black tea, the buddy thought about the code word he had received before, then went to a cabinet and opened a drawer, and took out a glass bottle filled with bright red viscous liquid.

Then, the clerk returned to the tea table, poured a drop of liquid into each of the teacups on the table, put it on a plate, and walked carefully down the stairs.

Walking to the counter, the guy put the tray with two cups of black tea on the counter, and then said.

"It will take a while for the boss to find the book, please drink tea here and wait, guest."

While the guy was talking, Clifford, who was looking for a book among the bookshelves not far away, was also inadvertently observing his brother and sister who were facing away from him at the counter from the corner of his eyes.

"I didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon..."

Chapter 64 Rental

Looking at the two cups of black tea brought by the waiter in front of the counter, Dorothy pursed her lips, and then spoke.

"Thank you boss for being so thoughtful, but I don't think I should use the tea. My brother and I have just finished eating and drinking, and we still can't drink anything else for the time being, do you think Greg?"

While Dorothy was talking, she looked at Greg beside her and said, Greg, who was casually flipping through an old magazine, came back to his senses and nodded and said yes after hearing this.

"Well, yes, the juice in that restaurant just now is quite delicious. I accidentally drank too much, and I don't want to drink anything now."

Listening to Dorothy's brother and sister's response, the clerk behind the counter looked a little embarrassed, and he looked at Clifford who was looking for a book among the bookshelves in the distance.

"Boss...this..."

"Heh heh... let's forget if the guest doesn't want to drink it. Let's take the tea back. We can taste it later." Clifford, who was looking for a book, smiled and said to the clerk. Hearing what Clifford said, the clerk nodded, Then brought the tea back.

Then Clifford continued to bury his head in his search for books. From an angle that could not be seen by others, Clifford's expression suddenly became gloomy and cold.

'Damn it...you don't want to drink it...and I didn't think that the man was Gregory, so if you want to use force, you can't do it. Such a good opportunity can't be easily let go... '

Thinking of this in his heart, Clifford glanced at Dorothy not far away from the corner of his eye, and then at the old book in his hand, and then made a decision in his mind.

Afterwards, Clifford said with a look of surprise.

"Oh, there are a few books that don't seem to be here. I'm sorry, I need to go up and take a look. Guests, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

"Well, we're waiting here." Dorothy nodded and said, and then Clifford immediately went back to the counter and went up the stairs, and soon came to the third floor.

Then, Clifford came to the wall and turned a candlestick mechanism. A cabinet was silently rotated open to reveal a dark dark room. Clifford walked into the dark room and picked up a finger-thick book from a desk , book with red cover.

"Since you don't drink medicine, you should always read books, studious little girl, feel the temptation of 'cup'..."

While thinking, Clifford opened the book, tore off the first few pages, and then put it into one of the books in his arms.

Afterwards, Clifford closed the darkroom and came out. After finding a few more books on the bookshelves in the house, Clifford went downstairs with a stack of books in his arms. He laughed again after seeing the Dorothy brothers and sisters again.

"Hehe... Sorry for keeping you waiting, little girl, all the books you want are here." While talking, Clifford put the book in his hand on the counter with a smile.

After carefully checking the titles of the books one by one, Dorothy said with some doubts.

"Well, it's true that they are all the books I want, but why are there a few missing?"

"This... I'm sorry, many of the books here are very rare, so they are only rented and not sold, and you can't rent too much at one time. This lady remembers to return them after reading them, and then rent others. " Clifford continued, listening to his words Dorothy also nodded.

"Well... that's true, after all, rare books can't be sold just because they are sold, so now...Gregor, please help pay for it."

"Oh, are you done? Then it's my turn."

While talking, Greg began to pay the money out of his pocket. Normally speaking, Dorothy has no financial means now, so Greg, the parent, will naturally pay the money.

Then, Dorothy packed all the books on the counter into her bag, and then left the bookstore with Greg. Looking at the backs of Dorothy and his sister when they left, Clifford showed a meaningful smirk.

……

Sitting on the carriage going back, Dorothy touched the books in the schoolbag, and then said to Greg.

"By the way, Greg, what do you think of that bookstore just now?"

Listening to Dorothy's words, Greg thought for a while before speaking.

"I feel that the atmosphere is a bit weird, but most of the shops on White Pearl Street are like this, as if everyone has a little secret behind them. This is a normal phenomenon on that street. And the boss... Hey, I feel It's a bit too enthusiastic...By the way, Dorothy, the books he gave you are all right, there won't be fakes in them..."

Greg spoke while thinking, and Dorothy nodded in reply.

"Well, it's all right, all the books I'm looking for."

"Yeah, that's fine..."

……

In the carriage, Dorothy and Greg returned to Nanyang Flower Road all the way. After returning home, Greg went to take a shower, while Dorothy went back to her room with her bag in her arms and closed the door Then sat down on his desk.

Then, he took out the old books that he had rented before, and quickly flipped through them one by one. Finally, when Dorothy was flipping through the third volume of "The Gospel of Radiance", she found a few hidden pages in the book.

Pulling out all these folders, Dorothy held them in her hands and watched them carefully, and then a slight smile appeared on her mouth.

"Sure enough, you sent me a secret message..."

That's right, what Dorothy is holding in her hand at this moment is the secret biography, a fragment of the secret biography of the "cup".

After seeing that the stronghold of the Holy Communion on White Pearl Street was actually a bookstore, Dorothy, who was thinking about how to solve this stronghold, had some other solutions.

Dorothy knew that the purpose of the Holy Communion was to corrupt Greg by corrupting herself, and according to Aldrich, there are generally two ways for the association of the "Cup" to corrupt people, one is drug control, and the other is Knowing the temptation of drugs, and after Dorothy saw the bookstore opened by the Holy Communion, she immediately put her mind on the second one.

How could there be no secret message in the bookstore, which is the stronghold of the Holy Communion?

Since the Sacrament Society wants to corrupt themselves, if they send them to their door to buy books there, they will definitely not let go of this great opportunity, and will find ways to corrupt themselves, either by using drugs or using poison awareness.

And what Dorothy has to do is to find a way to avoid drugs, so that they can only use drug awareness.

That's why Dorothy must take Greg to the bookstore.

If Dorothy went to the bookstore by herself, maybe the group of lunatics at the Holy Communion would bite directly when they saw a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, directly control herself in a strong way, and then pour drugs, even if she escaped successfully Expose the essence of the Extraordinary.

But as long as Greg is by his side, those who are afraid of Greg will not come hard, as long as he and Greg don't eat or drink anything in the bookstore, then their medicine will be useless.

Dorothy knew the truth, so it was very simple not to eat anything, and in order to prevent Greg from eating what they prepared, Dorothy suggested beforehand to find a restaurant to eat before buying books, but it turned out that they Neither sibling ate what was served at Communion.
