"It's getting late. If you have nothing else to do, go back early. It's dangerous for you to come out alone at night."
After negotiating the matter, Lin Jie was ready to close and see off the guests.
Of course, this is not an order to evict guests. If it was during the day, he would still be happy to chat with Miss Ji more, after all, this is really a super-large customer.
Even if she doesn't buy it herself, it's okay to introduce a few more friends, such as Miss Doris.
The problem is that it was nearly eight or nine o'clock when Vincent came, and it was ten o'clock after some chatting. Ji Zhixu came again, and it was almost eleven o'clock now.
Usually, he closed the door early at eleven to go to bed.
He put down the teacup and looked at the sky outside, and felt that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open. It was not early, it was almost late at night.
This eldest lady is indeed bold. As a young woman who is beautiful enough, she dares to come to such a remote neighborhood alone at night.
The law and order here has never been particularly good.
"In that case, I will go back first and wait for Mr. Ackerman's arrival."
Ji Zhixu nodded, although she is now a hunter close to the destruction level, enough to be called "strong", but the people who come and go in this bookstore and have various ideas about the bookstore are all old-fashioned forces. For her, there is still a great danger.
If it weren't for the fact that the original formula was too important, she would definitely bring her cronies.
Ji Orio stood up to pack his things, closed the box again and prepared to leave.
At this time, Lin Jie felt that his sleeve was being pulled. He turned his head suspiciously, and saw Mo En's clear and bright eyes looking at him, and then turned to look at the box on the counter.
straight to the point...
Lin Jie immediately understood that the child had taken a fancy to the box.
It's beautiful and shiny. She couldn't help but open the box just now, probably because she really liked it.
Boss Lin was a little embarrassed for a while. Although he said that this kind of relic of the former scumbag would be destroyed and buried in cement together, the value of the box itself should be quite high...
He considered it for a while, but decided to give it a try, and said, "Wait, my assistant seems to like this box very much, I don't know if it can..."
Before the words were finished, Ji Zhixu hesitated for a moment, and then put the box down again. He was very happy, and even a little impatient to take out the contents, and then stretched out his hand and pushed it.
"no problem."
"… Thank you."
Lin Jie didn't know what to think, so he could only smile: "In this way, I have nothing of value to exchange. Do you want anything in the bookstore?"
Ji Zhixu was stunned for a moment, and then ecstasy surged in his heart, suppressing his excitement, his eyes fell on all parts of the bookstore.
Without the seal of the brass box, the leakage of the original formula will inevitably attract some pretenders. The Wolf of the Sky Court itself is a destructive dream beast, and the level of filthy blood produced is very high. It is also possible to come to the powerhouse of destruction level.
She sees this as the second test of her abilities by the bookstore owner.
So even considering the danger, she still chose to hand over the box.
But maybe it was her decisiveness that attracted the goodwill of the bookstore owner, so she also gave her the opportunity to reduce the difficulty... She must take good care of it!
And this time, Mr. Lin is talking about the things in the bookstore, that is to say, not only books, but also other things.
Although each book in the bookstore contains infinite mystery and power, it cannot improve her strength in a short period of time, and she has no way to judge by herself how much the books can help her current situation.
The first thing that Ji Zhixu thought of was the gargoyle, but the power of the gargoyle is only panic level, which means that she just has an assistant of the same level. For her now, her ability to help is limited.
She pondered for a while, and turned her eyes to the red rose that she had been very concerned about but did not dare to look at.
The roses on the counter, which I hadn't seen before when I came here, should have been newly added during this time.
The delicate rose, which had been in bud at the moment, seemed to notice her gaze, the petals trembled slightly, revealing an eyeball to look at her, and the greedy malice flashed away.
Ji Zhixu's back froze, and he vaguely felt a strong threat to the soul.
But when the threat appeared, it kept floating behind her quietly, and the "Iron Will" generated by her soul blocked her countless tentacles in front of her, and immediately blocked that feeling.
This flower... It feels so terrifying. With her current strength, it is absolutely impossible to compete, and she must rely entirely on the bonus of "Iron Will" to barely block it.
However, she could feel that this flower didn't really mean to do anything, it seemed that it was just trying to scare her as a prank.
But she thought about it, isn't this the best help
"Huh..."
Ji Zhixu pointed to the roses in the flowerpot on the counter: "I want your roses, can I?"
"…?"
Lin Jie was slightly stunned.
Roses... There are books all over the room, and a gargoyle with good workmanship doesn't want his roses, what does that mean
It's not that he thought too much. In all respects, this pot of roses is the lowest value in the bookstore, and the meaning of roses, from the earth to Azir, has not changed since ancient times.
But he said it himself. Ji Zhixu wanted roses, but it was her own loss. Of course, Lin Jie was very kind, and handed over the flowers and pots to the other party.
But, looking at the brisk back of the other party closing the door and leaving, there was a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.
Boss Lin folded his hands on his chin, looked at the empty counter, fell into contemplation, and his smile gradually disappeared.
…
Central area, mechanical reincarnation.
Andrew stands in front of the part of Factory 01 that is being rebuilt.
After the Mirror Egg incident, he used emergency regulations to temporarily keep his position, but at the cost of being monitored, and he had to supervise the work here to find clues about the attackers, and was unable to participate in the decision-making of other matters.
In this attack, a total of three factories were destroyed on a large scale, 01, 07 and 13. 01 is the factory for blood-based medicine experiments, 07 is the factory of the mud tire project, and 13 is a storage warehouse.
The common denominator is that they are all explosions caused by detonating the Sage's Stone from within - only these three factories need to use the Sage's Stone recently, which makes the inner ghost more convenient.
The inner ghost must still be on the move, but they have drastically reduced his power and committed suicide without a doubt!
No, maybe the inner ghost is at the top...
He paced, staring coldly at the low-ranking scholars who were rebuilding.
A sound came from the alchemy product in his ear—the miniature remote communication headset—which made his footsteps stop and his expression changed.
"President, the knowledge-only people already know that this group of lunatics who take pleasure in plundering knowledge are very interested in bookstores..."
Andrew's face was extremely gloomy in an instant, and he had cancelled this order some time ago!
Someone, intercepted the order he canceled!
