  Chapter 224 223. Stealing a book is not stealing

Lu Yi quickly remembered his first time The night when I came to the abandoned city.

Of the few fellow travelers at the time, only the young boy named Shishi survived.

Lu Yi is the author of the ancient capital who knows from the stone. Now he encountered the stone again in the investigation of the disappearance of the ancient capital. It can be said that it is some kind of fateful connection.

"Do you know?"

Drizzt was a little surprised. After all, Lu Yi was obviously not a foreigner like the abandoned city. The guy he could know should be encountered during the mission. of.

As for ordinary Silent Place missions, passers-by are either dead or injured. If you can stand here so well, you always feel that something is wrong.

"You know you."

Lu Yi replied. He looked up and down the stones. This originally weak boy has now become a little handsome, even if he doesn’t wear clothes. The well-fitting old suit also has some handsome temperament, which is completely different from the fierce thugs next to him.

Is this the true portrayal of the changing face of reading?   Lu Yi couldn't help thinking.

"Are you a gangster?"

He blurted out, and he could see the thugs next to him pick up his eyelids, and he was about to raise his hands.

"It's not a gang, it's a company."

Shishi corrected it, and at the same time raised his hand to stop the thugs. It seemed that he had a high status in this rental car place.

"Because I am literate, I was assigned to be an accountant here."

"Oh."

Lu Yi didn't bother with the name of the gangster, anyway. The mafia is still a big company, and they are all similar things.

"But very good, Mr. Lu Yi, I haven't heard from you in the past few years, I thought you were already."

When Shishi saw Lu Yi, he thought of the time The scene of that night, I can't help feeling lingering.

But soon, the joy of the familiar people still alive replaced that anxiety.

Carefully calculate, it has been three years since the last time I came here, and it is indeed a long time.

"No, I have no shortcomings, but my life is a bit hard."

Lu Yi waved his hand.

"By the way, are you still reading the book of the ancient capital?"

Lu Yi glanced at Shishi's novel.

"Well, I think he wrote very well."

Stone picked up the book in his hand.

"Also, when I was young, my mother often read to me stories from "Old News in the Deserted City" and scared me to sleep, so I felt that he was very close to me."

"That's really your real mother."

Drizzt murmured.

"Hmm."

Shishi didn't know if he didn't understand or he did think so, he was nodded, and took out the old book from his arms.

The pages of the book have long been worn out. Obviously, after years of flipping, Lu Yi took a look at the book. The book is indeed very worn out. The author's signature page for the title page is missing.

"Are you going out of town?"

Stone looked at the form that Drizzt had filled out, and confirmed again.

"Yes, I am going to Hanxu."

Lu Yi nodded, suddenly thought of it.

"Have anyone rented a car on your side recently and left without returning the car?"

"There is no such thing, what's the matter?"

After thinking about it, he asked strangely.

"No, just ask."

Lu Yi thought for a while, then said to Shishi.

"The book of the ancient capital, people at your age should not read it, otherwise it will easily affect their lives. I will take it for you here. This is for your good."

I picked up both the "Mouse in the Painting" and "Old News in the Deserted City".

Stone was a little confused, but after thinking about what Lu Yi looked like that night, he did not dare to speak.

"?"

Drizzt watched Lu Yi put both books into his arms, and glanced at the stone that he dared not resist.

"How do you bully children and steal other people's books?"

He couldn't help but say.

"Stealing a book is not stealing, and I do it for his own good. If a teenage youngster is addicted to this kind of horror novel every day, it is not good for the society or himself. You say yes. No?"

Lu Yi said righteously.

Drizzt twitched the corner of his mouth. Although he knew that Lu Yi was worried that the ancient capital's book would have a bad influence on this young man, just like that mercenary, this method was still too simple and rude.

"Remember, at your age, you can only read these entertainment books between 8 and 9 pm on weekends every week. At other times, work and study."

Lu Yi said again.

The stone is ignorantly nodded.

The two thugs on the side looked at the conversation between Lu Yi and Shishi, a little dumbfounded.

"Then let's go, I'll come back to see you when I have time."

Lu Yi picked up the key and took the car with Drizzt and Sia. Soon The abandoned capital was opened.

The remaining stone, sitting on the chair, seems to have not reacted yet.

"Boss, a few of them just now."

A thug came over and asked the stone.

"Don't care, it's my friend."

Shishi looked towards the direction where the three people's car left, looked thoughtful.

"Let us swing the oars, and the boat pushes the waves away"

Lu Yi sang a song while feeling the cool wind blowing on him.

He is sitting in the passenger seat, and Xia is in the back seat. She is very interested in this thing about the car, probably because the kingdom of night doesn't have it. The girl sits in a precarious position, her body swaying slightly with the car.

"You don't need to be so nervous."

Lu Yi said, the night outside is deep, and the road is very smooth. If you don’t consider the entire process of development, it’s like It's like a gallop on the country roads.

You can see scattered lights in the distance. Indeed, as Drizzt said, there are some scattered villages and towns along the road, so don't worry about being attacked by monsters.

"Can you drive?"

Drizzt suddenly asked.

"No, what's the matter?"

Lu Yi replied decisively.

"Then we will find a place to rest later, I can't drive all night."

"Oh, then I will take the time to sleep."

Lu Yi said, he was about to turn sideways and close his eyes to rest.

"Stop, what are you doing in sleep?"

Drizzt was puzzled.

"You have to rest later, then you must fall asleep, I can't sleep anymore, so it's reasonable to sleep now!"

Lu Yi is serious.

"It seems to be true."

When Drizzt muttered, Lu Yi had closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep.

"I feel a little dizzy."

It was probably the first time Shia was in a car, and she soon fell into motion sickness.

"You, don't vomit. You should close your eyes and rest. You can lie down. No, don't lie down. Just sit down like this."

Stir was frantic.

Xia soon fell asleep too.

The deserted city at night is silent.

Drizzt drove the car, and his sleepiness gradually came up.

At this time, he suddenly discovered that the lights that were faintly discernible in the distance were gone.

The entire world was plunged into darkness.

This feeling is very similar to the feeling in the dense fog of Night Country.

Drizzt did not stop directly, but continued along the road seen by naked eye.

He feels a bit cold on his back.

Turning on the high beams, Drizzt suddenly saw that there seemed to be a creature ahead.

For a moment, Drizzt couldn't react, and the vehicle ran into the thing directly.
