Chapter 365 Cutting the Line and Order

"Locke Lee's autograph session will start tomorrow. This seems to be his first autograph session. I'm really looking forward to it."

In a book club at Harvard University, members of the get-together discussed together.

"Yes, the few books he wrote are good, but the most outstanding one is Lord of the Mysteries."

"I heard that he is young and handsome, and he is also a billionaire."

"Really? Billionaires write books too."

"Perhaps because of hobbies, several of his works, especially the Lord of the Mysteries, are liked by many people. There will definitely be a lot of people tomorrow, so we have to go there early and line up."

"Okay, let's go early tomorrow!" The people in the reading club were discussing enthusiastically, especially the girls. Locke's promotional posters were all hung up, and their handsome appearance made their eyes shine when they thought of it. .

"I'll go too..." A long-haired girl with glasses sitting in the outer corner of a circle of people listened to other people's discussion and wanted to intervene, but she never had any sense of presence, and often said a word without saying a word. No one cares.

At the same time, a red-haired girl was in the dormitory holding a book of Lord of Mysteries. The book was well preserved, but it was obvious that it had been read many times:
"Cthulhu-style novels are really interesting, especially the description of the Lord of Mysteries is more vivid and interesting. I really don't know how Locke Lee can build such a huge world. Tomorrow's book signing must go early. OK."

The next morning, the signing event of the Lord of the Mysteries officially started under the organization of Random House. After the accumulation of popularity in the past two years, the novel has gathered a group of die-hard fans. A cultural center like Boston has an exceptional proportion. height of.

Accompanied by Ashley, Locke came to the scene and saw a long line at a glance. After he appeared, there was a commotion in the line.

Especially those girls who deliberately lined up in advance, their eyes lit up when they saw Locke, and they felt like their fantasies had come true in reality.

"It's about to start!"

"It's a good thing we came early."

"What's the matter, look at those people in the front line, they are all crazy. I heard that someone lined up here last night."

Those who were in a slightly higher position couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Looking at the long queue behind them, they felt that it was worth it to come early.

Even those who seldom participate in fansigns know that the higher the ranking, the better, because at the beginning, idols are more energetic and able to interact with fans more, but after the end, they are tired and must not be in the mood Talk a lot.

The red-haired girls who were ranked No. 20 were a little annoyed at this moment, staring angrily at a girl with glasses standing in front of her.

And the girl with glasses was expressionless, but her body shook unnaturally, and she didn't dare to turn her head to look at the red-haired girl, obviously a little guilty.

As early as a few days ago, when I learned that Locke Lee, the author of Lord of the Mysteries, was going to hold a signing event in Boston, the red-haired girl was very excited. She is a lover of various horror works, and after being exposed to the mystery After being the master of the book, I was immediately attracted and became a fan of this book, so I also collected a lot of information about the author, and I also know how rare it is to hold a book signing with Locke's current achievements. Just this once in a lifetime.

So she had already made plans in advance, freed up the time of the day, and prepared various items in advance. She came here since last night and prepared to stay up all night to queue up. She must ask Locke to give her the first autograph.

But what she didn't expect was that when she arrived, there were already several boys who looked like homeboys queuing up there, and seeing that they were well equipped, they were obviously veterans.

This made her a little disappointed, but fortunately, she was also in the top ten golden position, so she stood behind this girl with long hair and glasses.

The seats are prepared in advance, and the night is not too difficult. Although most of them are nerds here, they are all loyal fans of the Lord of Mysteries. Everyone gathers together to chat about the plot and express their feelings, and the time passes quickly.

However, she soon discovered that the girl named Emma standing in front of her knew very little about the plot of the Lord of Mysteries, not even as good as some ordinary fans, which made her a little disappointed. Like some coquettish sluts who claim to be hardcore fans, they are actually interested in the author's appearance.

Locke Lee's appearance is of course good, but as a hardcore fan of horror elements, the red-haired girl prefers the work itself. Fortunately, apart from the Lord of Mysteries, this girl's other hobbies are quite similar to her, and She is actually a member of the reading club with herself, but I really have very little impression of her.

The night passed quickly, and when it was almost dawn, some people came to line up one after another. Standing behind her was a very tall middle-aged man and a little girl of thirteen or fourteen.

Listening to their conversation, it should be a pair of father and daughter. The father should be a fan of the Lord of Mysteries, and the girl wants to get her father's attention and praise, so she watched it together, because from the girl's words, She can feel that there is no emotion that a die-hard fan should have.

This is actually not a surprise. There are not many girls who like horror elements, let alone girls of this age.

After dawn, more people lined up. Looking at the long queue behind, the red-haired girl felt even more grateful that she came to line up last night.

It's just that what she didn't expect was...

"Emma, ​​you are really here, great, thank you for helping me line up!"

"You're welcome!"

Seeing someone jumping in line, the red-haired girl was a little upset, but it seemed that it was Emma's friend in front of her, so she endured it, but what she didn't expect was that the girl who jumped in line not only didn't have the consciousness of being a queue jumper, but actually Also called friends and companions.

After a while, the girls rushed over one by one, and they all lined up in front of Emma. This made the red-haired girl couldn't bear it anymore, and she got angry immediately, and couldn't help shouting: "You guys are endless!"

"We're Emma's friends. We're together, so it's not considered jumping in line." Those girls who jumped in line said confidently. At this time, Emma, ​​the girl with long hair and glasses, seemed a little guilty and didn't dare to look at her, but she also acquiesced this argument.

"Let me just say it!" Those who jumped in line were all triumphant.

"If only one person came to queue in advance and could jump in the queue infinitely, it would not be very fair to those of us who are behind in the queue."

At this time, the tall man standing behind the red-haired girl took out an ID and shook it, then said: "If you continue to do this, I will take you back for questioning in the name of disturbing public order."

Frightened for a moment, these people who jumped in line finally calmed down. Some people were not convinced and wanted to continue arguing, but when they met the indifferent eyes of the little girl's father, their minds suddenly went blank, and they forgot all the words they had spoken. As soon as it was cold, he lowered his head, not daring to meet the other party's eyes.

"Who else!"

The middle-aged man saw that the other party was submissive, and said a classic quote, but no one dared to pierce it anymore, so he just shrank his neck and waited quietly for the start of the autograph session. Going back, but the air obviously became a little quieter.

"Sure enough, Dad is the best!" Seeing this, the girl didn't think there was any problem at all, but said with some pride.

"You are great too, my slugger!" The middle-aged man smiled and encouraged the girl.

The red-haired girl also found it interesting when she saw this. The middle-aged man's eyes were not aimed at her, but she still felt a little scared, so she didn't say anything, and didn't know what she was thinking in the quiet atmosphere.

Originally, I had a good chat with Emma, ​​the girl with long hair and glasses, and the red-haired girl also had some good feelings for her, but because of this episode, those good feelings completely disappeared.

Waiting until Locke arrived at the signing event, the atmosphere here was ignited at once, and the red-haired girl completely put aside other things first, and hugged the book tightly to her chest with anticipation.
