Chapter 227 - The Song of Saya and the Encounter of the Two Girls
Chapter 227: The Song of Saya and the Encounter of the Two Girls
Ling Pingan walked to the bookshelf and easily found a book that the customer would definitely like.
“Sailor Moon”!
That book was the favorite of countless girls!
It was a story about a group of cute girls waving magic wands and representing the Moon to destroy evil.
Speaking of which, the comic book was also the only foreign published comic book in Ling Pingan’s shop.
It was the representative work of the cultural output of the Fusang Kingdom!
Its adapted comic was once popular in half of the Federal Empire more than ten years ago!
When Ling Pingan’s aunt was very young, she used to hold a magic wand every day and would say, “I will represent the moon to destroy you!”
Thus, when she took charge of this bookstore, an original series of “Sailor Moon” was stocked from the Fusang Kingdom and federal empire. They were the same writing, but the language was different.
Generally speaking, Fusang, Silla, Siamese, Cochin, Lanfang, and other kingdoms within the range of the Federal Empire were all using the Federal Empire’s language, calendar, and even laws and regulations.
After all, only a fool would put down the mature universal language to create his own.
Wouldn’t that only trouble themselves?
Hence, even though it was the original comic, it was written in the Federal Empire of Xia’s language.
It was at least a few hundred pages weight when held in the hand!
As it was the original comic from more than a decade ago, there were very few on the market.
In the entire Jiangcheng City, Ling Pingan was probably the only one who had it!
That was unavoidable because it was the era of the mobile internet now.
A niche product like Fusang’s comic could no longer attract people.
The children of today were all watching the hot-blooded comic produced in the Metropolitan Territory!
No one was waving magic wands and shouting on the roof of their homes, “I’ll destroy you on behalf of the moon!”
Thinking of this, Ling Pingan still missed it a little.
Fusang’s comic was also a memory of his childhood.
“That customer probably hasn’t seen it before…” he thought, “She will like it!”
After all, the audience of this kind of girl’s comic was that ignorant girl like the customer.
Holding these four series of comics, Ling Pingan started to walk back.
Walking in front of the customer who was drinking tea, Ling Pingan handed over the comic in his hand. “Customer, take a look…”
“I specially chose this for you…”
“I think you will like it!”
Hmm, other than feeling that the comic was suitable, the most important thing was the price!
This set of comics from the original collection was originally priced at 128 yuan!
Now, on some auction websites, it could be sold for more than 600 yuan!
Of course, that was the price in auctions. The actual price was around 300-400 yuan.
… ..
Ran Bing heard footsteps behind her.
She looked up and saw the book that was handed to her.
It was different from the previous ‘Firearm Spirit’.
This book didn’t look any different.
Even the cover looked very ordinary. There was only a young girl with her back to her face, looking up at the top of her head.
But…
The moment Ran Bing took it and touched the page of the book.
A whisper came into her ears.
“Saya… Saya…”
“Saya… Saya…”
“My lovely daughter…”
“My kind daughter…”
“Mommy Loves You…”
It sounded like a warm and sweet children’s song. It sounded like a children’s song written for her daughter by a mother who loved her daughter deeply.
But…
In this low voice, Ran Bing could only see blurry and distorted figures.
Countless terrifying monsters.
And the deepest terror and the final omen!
When the singing gradually stopped, the girl on the cover with her face behind her suddenly turned around.
She looked at Ran Bing and smiled sweetly.
“You… take my place and be mother’s good daughter!” She smiled sincerely and cutely.
She reached out her hand.
Ran Bing could not help but also reach out her hand.
The two hands met in the air and tightly held each other.
“Remember!” The girl said brightly, “You must not anger the mother!”
“Otherwise, mommy will get angry!”
She opened her mouth, and her white teeth, one after another, were extremely sharp.
Countless granulation and black smoke emerged from her body.
Ran Bing watched as cold sweat dripped down from her forehead.
The girl suddenly turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.
On the cover, four big words appeared.
“Song of Saya”.
Ran Bing was in a daze as she read the title of the book.
She knew that this book recorded all the secrets of a monster named Saya.
If she could finish reading it, then as the reader she would inherit everything about Saya.
She would become the daughter of the Great One!
Don’t ask why she would become someone else’s daughter after reading a book!
The Great One was a terrifying existence.
The bloodline was nonexistent, and the genes did not matter.
The soul and the will were the only ones.
They did not even know what kind of offspring they would give birth to.
Ran Bing trembled as she flipped open the first page of the book.
A strange picture blew into her face.
It made her dizzy. She was in a trance and almost collapsed!
She immediately closed the book.
Her current strength was not enough for her to read it.
At the very least, she had to cultivate the Firearm Spirit to the fourth form!
With the support of the Firearm Spirit, then she was qualified to read the first few pages of the book!
She took a deep breath and looked at the owner of the bookstore, asking, “Sir, what’s the price of this book?”
“Although a rare edition like this is usually more expensive…” the owner said, “But… since it’s you, customer, three hundred yuan…”
The fire in his eyes slowly flickered.
Ran Bing knew that she had gained a great advantage!
Because she would be soon qualified to read this book, the Song of Saya.
Moreover, reading it would make the Firearm Spirit stronger.
The stronger the Firearm Spirit meant that she would be stronger too.
Therefore, with this book, she had enough confidence in the future when it came to finding and saving the world or even restoring the world!
At least!
She could open up a safe zone for the survivors on the ground!
It would allow the elderly and children to obtain a safe environment.
She could also make the so-called religion of the god of light, which was most likely controlled by the umbrella, unable to bewitch and enslave the people!
That was the only goal that Ran Bing had at the moment!
Thus, she bowed deeply. “Thank you so much!”
“I don’t know how to repay you!”
Ling Pingan looked at this rich girl who suddenly bowed to him. He was stunned, but he was used to it.
Almost all of the customers who came here were a little abnormal.
But in general, the customers were all good people.
So, Ling Pingan smiled and said, “You’re too polite…”
“Next time, just bring a few more customers!”
Yes, go back and bring your friends, especially those who like comics or reading books, to my bookstore!
Ran Bing listened and nodded solemnly. “If there’s a chance, I will!”
As long as she got permission, she would look for her companions when she went back.
… … ..
He watched the customer disappeared into the fog.
Ling Pingan turned around to look at the time on the wall. It was almost ten o’clock.
“Let’s go to bed after watching the news…” the young bookstore owner happily sat down at the counter with the three hundred yuan bills in his hands.
He counted the bills and was very happy!
Tonight’s business was his biggest business in the month.
“As expected, when doing business, you still have to have a heart-to-heart with the customers!”
“Only sincerity can win the customers!” The young bookstore owner muttered to himself.
“At the same time, I should put the same thought into writing novels!” His gaze became firm. “By writing novels that the readers like, I can win them over!”
Thinking of this, he turned on the television.
… … ..
Ran Bing walked in the fog.
The flashlight in her hand shone on the fog.
As she walked forward, the Song of Saya that she held in her arms softly sang.
“Saya… Saya…”
“Saya… Saya…”
In the song, the football symbol above her head floated again.
Thus, she successfully passed through the wall of light.
Countless monsters looked at her.
Countless whispers spread in the fog.
But…
Ran Bing could not hear clearly or understand what these things were saying?
She could only hold on to the flashlight and continue to move forward.
Suddenly…
An identical electric light appeared in the fog in front of her.
It was also a flashlight.
The electric light shone into the fog and illuminated the fog.
Ran Bing could not help but turn the flashlight around and shine it at the person. At the same time, the person also shone the flashlight at her.
A voluptuous and charming figure was faintly discernible in the fog.
Was it a human?
Ran Bing could not help but say, “Hello!”
A beautiful and moving female voice came from the fog, “Hello!”
She walked over.
It was a girl that even Ran Bing could not help but drool at her.
She was about 172 centimeters tall, and her tight black combat uniform outlined her perfect figure.
There was no emotion on her peach blossom-like face.
She looked extremely cold!
“I’m Han Li… major-general of the United Nations Security Council!” She stretched out her hand.
“Ran Bing!” Ran Bing stretched out her hand. “Vice-captain of the A1 floating city adventure team!”
The two pairs of eyes confirmed each other through the fog.
Now, for the first time, they confirmed a fact that they had always suspected. The fog was the entrance to countless worlds!
It could even be connected to different dimensions!
“I just finished paying tribute…” Ran Bing said.
“I’m planning to pay tribute!” The girl named Han Li said.
Then, she asked, “How’s your world?”
“It’s terrible!” Ran Bing said, “But I’m working hard! I’ll make it better!”
Ran Bing thought of the Old World that she had heard of.
The people lived and worked in peace, and the world was peaceful and prosperous.
A girl like her could go to work, study, and fall in love without any worries.
Until the disaster arrived, and everything was changed.
She looked at the other party and asked, “What about your world?”
The young girl’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. “My world… is also in a terrible condition…”
Monsters and evil spirits were still ravaging countless lands.
The gravity of the Abyss was pulling the world towards the end.
The future and hope of the entire world were on her shoulders.
But…
She smiled like a flower. “I’m changing everything!”
Donglin city, Linhai city…
The land of millions of square kilometers was safe!
The demons were severely injured!
The development of psionic energy was spreading, and arcanists would slowly appear.
She believed that one day, her world would have a floating city!
“Good luck!” Ran Bing said seriously.
“Good luck!” Han Li also wished sincerely.
“If there’s a chance…” Ran Bing looked at Han Li and said, “If we can meet again…”
“At that time, let’s talk about our respective worlds!”
“I hope that our worlds can be restored to their original state!”
“Yes!” Han Li nodded. “I hope that our worlds can be restored to their original state!”
Thus, the two girls bid farewell.
One walked back to the path she came from.
The other walked toward the destination she was going to.
… ..
Han Li looked at the girl who gradually disappeared into the distance.
She took a deep breath.
She worshipped and admired the ruler in the fog even more.
“What a great existence that is…”
“He extended a helping hand to one world after another…”
“We should all thank him!”
Without him, Han Li knew what would happen to the world that gave birth to her?
The Abyss would devour it.
Everyone would be doomed!
So, she held a bottle in her hand.
The cloud and fog that was contained in a thin glass bottle.
Now, she finally felt like paying tribute!
The feeling of pilgrimage!
… … … ..
Watching the news on TV, Ling Pingan began to yawn out of boredom.
“Our station’s latest news, the Fusang Kingdom has announced that from the fifth day of this month, all visitors from the federal empire will receive a subsidy…”
“Each visitor will receive a voucher worth 5,000 yuan…”
“It can be used to compensate for the hotel fees and to purchase various goods…”
However, Ling Pingan was drowsy when he heard this.
That was because this was the basic operation.
Every election season, Fusang and Silla would start to make their presence felt.
What was the point of subsidizing the visitors?
Back then, the Silla people had even given away concert tickets for free.
The most popular groups and celebrities of Silla had all gathered together to hold concerts and meet-ups.
The tickets were given to the federal voters who were willing to go to Silla.
It was all, for one thing, to canvass votes!
As for why the Federal Empire did not care about such blatant interference in the internal affairs of the Federal Empire?
Because…
Broadly speaking, from a certain point of view.
Especially from a traditional point of view.
Fusang, Silla, Lanfang, Cochin, Siam, and other kingdoms all belonged to a part of the world!
Under the old tributary system, they were called vassals.
Now, they were called ‘good-neighborly, friendly, and cooperative partners’.
So…
They naturally had the right to interfere in the internal affairs of the Federal Empire!
Everyone in the world cared about the affairs of the world!
That was their legal right!
Both the Datong Party and the Gonghe party recognized it.
They had to recognize it!
That was a tradition! It was also a culture!
Turning off the television, Ling Pingan yawned as he walked to the door and pulled down the shutter.
He was too sleepy!
He had to sleep early that day and prepare a greeting card the next morning and mail it before Teacher’s Day. He had to ensure that all the teachers received his greeting card!
