Chapter 380 Inside the Cafe
"Okay." The lifeless Takatsuki Izumi clapped his hands, and showed a harmonious and happy smile to the very good-looking fan in front of him.
She picked up the signature pen and took the "Black Goat's Egg" from Li Xuan's hand.
Maybe it was a coincidence, maybe it was an accident, even though Li Xuan deliberately shook his finger at the moment the other party took the book, he still didn't touch the other party.
Li Xuan's expression did not change in any way.
The rustling sound of the signature pen across the paper is transmitted.
"Okay, the signing is over." Takatsuki Izumi's tone of voice was also very lazy, just like his image.
She pushed the book and moved it in front of Li Xuan.
A seemingly happy smile appeared on Li Xuan's face, and he picked up the book.
"Thank you Takatsuki Izumi-sensei." He stretched out his hand to the other party while speaking.
Since turning is useless, attack with a straight ball.
"You're welcome~" Takatsuki Izumi said, but she didn't mean to extend her hand. She seemed to realize that Li Xuan was still standing and didn't leave, and explained with a little apology: "Today is not a handshake meeting... If If we shake hands, everyone will want to shake hands, and there won't be enough time..."
The meaning is obvious.
"Well, it doesn't matter." Li Xuan, who was rejected, withdrew his hand calmly, nodded to him, and then walked out of the venue very simply.
Was it on purpose... or "inadvertently"...
On the street outside the venue, under the warm sunlight, Li Xuan held "Black Goat's Egg", raised his head slightly, and stared at the "Takatsuki Izumi" signed on the cover...Three beautiful fonts, thoughts flowed in his mind.
Hmm... who knows...
It doesn't matter if you fail, as long as there is a replacement.
Moreover, Takatsuki Izumi cannot escape after all.
The fate of being signed by oneself...
Temporarily stopping his thinking, Li Xuan stopped walking and continued to walk towards the "stable area".
On the other side of the venue, the meeting lasted for half an hour and then ended.
"Ms. Izumi Takatsuki..." Shunji Shioya, the editor of Izumi Takatsuki from Shōeisha, ran over and said to her with a smile, "Your reputation is really great. There are many fans who don't want to leave outside until the end of time."
"Ah... It's a pity that I didn't succeed in meeting these fans..." Takatsuki Izumi said regretfully with a drawn voice.
"That's the end of today's itinerary, teacher." Shioya Shunji said, "I'll take you back, teacher, so that you won't be troubled by fans who recognize you."
"It's okay, I can't recognize it after wearing a hat and a mask." Takatsuki Izumi responded.
"Okay, then teacher, I'll leave first." Shioya Shunji didn't make much excuses, and left directly after saying a word.
For a while, there were only a few staff members who were packing up and Izumi Takatsuki who was still sitting at the table.
"'Mu Muliang' who used to be in the same ghoul organization as me in China died." At some time, a man with white hair and red eyes wearing a red mask and a white coat with a round collar appeared beside Takatsuki Izumi.
The man is the cadre of "Qingtongshu", Tatara.
"Oh...it's the guy you said before who is not weak and wants to be pulled into the organization..." Takatsuki Izumi didn't even turn his head, his tone of voice and eyes became different from before, no longer lifeless, but With an inexplicable sharpness.
She rested her hands on the table, propped her chin up, and with a smile on her face, she asked, "How did you die?"
"It was killed by the guy who came from the United States recently." Duo Liang responded.
"It doesn't look like an ordinary guy..." Takatsuki Izumi picked up the pen on the table and turned it around, "Didn't the gecko say that he had met the other party?"
"Well, we fought briefly." Tatara nodded, "He was very angry when talking about the other party, but according to what he said, the actual strength of the other party should not be strong."
"Not strong? Ha ha." Takatsuki Izumi smiled, "When fighting against the gecko, the opponent didn't take Quink, right?"
"The gecko said it took a rusty iron rod or something."
"That's definitely not Quinke." Takatsuki Izumi concluded.
"Why do you say that?" Duo Liang asked.
"Because I met him just now." Takatsuki Izumi leaned back, raised his head to look at Tatara, pointed his index finger at his pupils, "That guy... feels to me... very dangerous... "
"Even Aite, you think it's dangerous..." Duo Liang was slightly lost in thought.
The girl whose name is Izumi Takatsuki and whose real name is Yoshimura Aite continued: "Anyway, it's better not to have too much relationship with this person."
"Then our plan to find Lishi?"
"continue."
"understood."
Then, Duo Liang disappeared.
"The director of ACG...Li Xuan..." Fangcun Aite shook his chair, looked at the ceiling of the venue, and murmured, "Come here...and the purpose of trying to get in touch with me...what is it? ?..."
……
"Try this today." Li Xuan took out a few hams and placed them on the counter.
"Oh oh oh oh! It's food again!" The SS-level ghoul "Magic Ape" Yuaner Gu Jian said excitedly because he had just returned to the coffee shop a few days ago because of something.
He has a fatter build, with a suit hair comb and a thicker nose.
After several days of visits by Li Xuan, he has a certain relationship with the people in the coffee shop.
"It's just enough for the number of people in the coffee shop, let's share one piece for each person." Li Xuan said.
Each piece of ham has a lot of weight, and saving some food will allow them to experience human happiness other than human flesh.
What's more, the food made with Li Xuan's cooking skills is peerless and delicious even in the human world.
The taste is definitely better than the pure and unprocessed human meat they usually eat.
"Good!" Gu Jian Yuan'er put away the ham and said happily.
"You are a human being, and you are still the director of the Ghoul Administration...Why are you so kind to us ghouls?" Dong Xiang's voice came from the side.
"Hmm... this is a question worth thinking about." Li Xuan groaned and took a sip of his coffee.
And then... uh... nothing more.
"No more?" Dong Xiang asked doubtfully, frowning beautifully.
"No more." Li Xuan's response was flat.
"..." Dong Xiang just felt a little baffled.
"Give."
A book is thrown over.
Dong Xiang caught it, took a closer look, and found that it was a book that was loaned out a few days ago.
"After reading it, it's pretty good."
"That shouldn't be painted on it." Dong Xiang noticed the signature on the cover and said.
"That was signed by the author of the book I met on the road, so it adds value to the book?" Li Xuan read.
"Crap." Dong Xiang pouted, and put the book back to its original place.
"By the way, where's your uncle?" Li Xuan asked Dong Xiang.
He remembered that if the store manager wasn't around when he was there, Sifang Lianshi would basically be there, which could be regarded as a kind of surveillance.
But now the store manager has something to do, and Sifang Lianshi is not there either.
"He's gone to work too." Dong Xiang responded.
So it's a signal that the relationship has improved and the vigilance has been lifted...
Li Xuan thought in his heart.
"Then the relationship between the boy and Li Shi has become so good?" Li Xuan glanced at the two people talking happily at the window, and asked in a low voice.
"It seems because I read the same book." Dong Xiang replied, "It happens to be the same book you just returned."
"Really?" Li Xuan read plainly, and then smiled, "Then as fellow book friends, they probably don't mind communicating with me."
"Don't..." Dong Xiang wanted Li Xuan not to disturb those two.
After all, Li Shi's purpose is to prey on that human kid.
And as members of the "Stable Zone", although they themselves rely on eating the corpses of those who committed suicide to survive, they will not control the ghouls' own predation.
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Li Xuan had already stood up and walked towards the two of them.
Forget it.
Anyway, with his ability to make the store manager vigilant, there shouldn't be any problems.
Dong Xiang thought in his heart.
