2218, December 1, Golden Lion County, London.

On a secluded street, a bookstore with a small store with a small store is quietly open.

The black signboard has the words "books" written in capital letters. Whether it is old or retro decoration gives people a feeling of time and space disorder.

No one knows when this store was opened here, and almost no one will visit it. It is the kind of street shop that you pass by the door every day but never walk into, maintaining a subtle sense of existence.

At noon, Zilin pushed open the wooden shop door and walked into the shop with a creaking sound of door shafts.

This bookstore is a single-story building. After entering the house, you will find that the space inside looks much larger than from the outside, but it still makes people feel crowded because... there are books everywhere here.

In this bookstore with a cross-shaped overall layout, whether it is on the bookshelf against the wall, on the table, on the ground, or in various corners... as long as you glance over, there will be books in your sight.

These randomly stacked books form a strange and chaotic space, filled with the unique smell of paper and leather.

It is in the depths of such a broken shop where it is difficult to stand and walk, and there is an office desk, with a sofa chair and a man sitting at the back of the table.

He looked 20 or 30 years old, with messy hair, wearing a black casual suit, with an open collar, and looking unkempt.

He is the boss here, his surname is Tian.

When Zi Lin walked in, Boss Tian didn't even raise his eyelids.

He just sat there lazily, holding a book in one hand and slowly stirring a cup of coffee on the table with the other hand.

"I'm back." Zilin walked all the way to his desk and spoke.

"This is not your home, what are you going back?" Boss Tian still didn't look up.

"Then I have to say hello when I enter the house." Zilin said.

"Look, I just hate you..." Boss Tian finally put down the book, looked at the other party, shrugged, "You are so well-educated."

"Hehe..." Zilin laughed dryly and complained, "Sometimes I would think... In the past, there were all people who came here. Did you swear words or draw your guns as soon as you entered the door?"

"That's the scorer..." Boss Tian scratched his hair, "There are also polite young people like you, but we can talk about that topic in the future, now..." He suddenly paused for a second and asked a question, "How is it?"

"Let him run away." Zilin replied, "You know why you still have to ask?"

"And!" Boss Tian also laughed dryly, "I know 'faceless' has run away. I'm asking... how do you feel?"

"You want to ask me what I think about 'failure'?" Zilin replied, "That's quite a lot... I think I can talk for a few hours. Are you sure you want to listen?"

"No need." Boss Tian continued, "Just tell me what part of this 'failure' is your own responsibility, what part is objective factor, and what part is my problem... it's fine."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Zilin replied in a tone of course, "I am responsible for the actions, and that must be my own responsibility."

"Oh...so that." After hearing Zilin's answer, Boss Tian showed a smiley expression, said a few words, took another sip of coffee, and took the opportunity to calm his emotions.

"Slow down..." After a few seconds, Zilin seemed to realize something, "You said I would do the 'two things', one was to set up a test of Che Wuchen, and the other was to recruit Wuwei... Actually, was it a lie to me?" He thought afterwards, "Did you run away when you got Wuwei from the beginning? So for you, the second real thing is to 'observe my reaction after failure'?"

"Well... Since you have already thought about it yourself, remember and learn it." Boss Tian put down his coffee and continued, "Sometimes, the shortcut to the destination is not a straight line. Take some detours appropriately... Let multiple lines intertwin together, but you will get twice the result with half the effort."

"Use strategies for the situation, don't be limited to things... I know, you told me." Zilin said.

"It's still a long way from 'knowing' to 'knowing'." Boss Tian said, "I don't have much time left for you, so keep working hard."

Upon hearing this, Zilin was silent for a moment.

After thinking for a while, he said, "By the way...before the action, you told me that there are two active people in this world who can imitate other people's appearance. Who is the other one besides 'faceless'? Can we consider recruiting him?"

"Impossible." Boss Tian replied without thinking, "This kind of disguise ability is a hot item in the upcoming 'chaotic times', and another guy has been pulled over by other organizations long ago."

"Okay..." Zilin curled his lips, "Anyway, I have a backup plan. During the 'trial', the judge will bring the 'doctor', and the number of people is still enough."

"The number of people has never been a problem." Boss Tian added accent to this sentence, "The key is... there are several special abilities whose abilities are 'necessary' and 'will play an irreplaceable role at some point'; no matter whether there are enough people who come to participate in the 'judgment', these people, or these abilities, must be mastered by the Counter-Cross Cross."

"So sooner or later, I have to look for 'faceless'?" Zilin asked.

"Yes." Boss Tian said, "But next time you go to find him, you don't have to 'recruit' him, you can kill him."

"What does it mean?" Zilin said, "While you said that his ability is 'necessary', and then..." When he said this, he suddenly thought of something. After a few seconds, Zilin glanced at him, "You haven't told me anything, right?"

"I didn't tell you too much." Boss Tian looked confident, "The reason is the same, the time has not come." At this point, he changed his subject, "But now, your faceless action has failed, so you can tell you..."

"Okay~ OK~ Listen carefully." Zilin tilted his head, looking helpless.

Boss Tian then moved forward, put on a mysterious expression, lowered his voice and said, "i_kno_a_guy..."

Zilin didn't know why the other party suddenly spoke to him, but he was also very good at playing, so he immediately put on an expression similar to Boss Tian, ​​raised his eyebrows and responded: "so?"

"Before the trial begins, you have to set up a bureau and get him." Boss Tian replied.

"I have to set up a plan..." Zilin said weakly, "What kind of demon is this time? Can't you just look for it?"

As a result, not only did the boss Tian not answer his question, he also stared at the dead fish's eyes and asked in a contemptuous tone: "You forgot what I just asked you to learn?"

"Ok, ok...my_bad." Zilin raised his hands, made a gesture similar to surrender, and responded with a smile.

"Of course... you really have to go there once." Unexpectedly, Boss Tian changed his mind immediately.

"Where are you going?" Zilin was too lazy to complain and asked the key points directly.
