Insidious and cunning "rat", I'm afraid I can't even dream of it.
He has been safe and sound for decades between various organizations. On the surface, he is just an ordinary intelligence monger, but in fact, his eyes are spread across various forces, and he can be called the king of that unknown dark country.
In the end, he died silently, without even a trace, in such a seemingly ordinary bookstore.
Died on his proud "sharpness".
Ji Zhixu sat down again, but felt like he was on pins and needles.
Her hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but glanced at the gargoyle on the counter next to her.
The demon that devoured a living human just now in an extremely cruel manner has now turned into a quiet and pitch-black statue.
As if nothing had happened.
The statue placed there didn't even move its position, and squatted silently towards the door.
I just don't know if it's Ji Zhixu's illusion, its blood-red eyes seem to be more vivid...
Ji Zhixu looked at Lin Jie who was walking down the stairs as if nothing had happened, and thought to himself, this must be a warning from the bookstore owner!
He must have seen Ryan's disrespect and suspicion long ago, but he didn't bother to point it out, but directly let the gargoyle kill this ignorant and fearless guy.
An understatement.
He didn't even bother to do it himself, and didn't want to see the ugly appearance of this guy struggling in the face of death, so he made an excuse and left.
No, he didn't even make excuses, he was saying "five minutes is enough to deal with something", isn't he talking about the time he kills Ryan between going upstairs and downstairs
This... This is so in line with the temperament of dark wizards!
Arrogant, elegant, cruel, ruthless... more violent than hunters.
No wonder Wilde was here at the time.
This destructive powerhouse who almost represents the image of the dark wizard in recent years should be a good friend with the owner of this bookstore, at least...
"What did you just say, feel free to say anything if you have any ideas, I will try my best to help, you're welcome."
Lin Jie smiled kindly at Ji Zhixu and sat back in his seat.
Ji Zhixu jolted, took his eyes away from the gargoyle, and said cautiously: "No, it's nothing, just wondering if you can lend me another book... I'm very sorry, my entourage was a little rude just now, but please Believe it, that's not my will."
At this moment, she felt at a loss, like a little girl who didn't understand anything.
Instead of the cold-blooded hunter who just annihilated and annexed the White Wolf leader's base camp.
But when a person who was talking to him just now was killed by his side in an instant, not even a trace was left.
Experience that shuddering, near death.
This can't help but deeply feel the fear.
For Ji Zhixu, the most terrifying thing was that at that time, not only did Ryan have no room to resist, but she did not react at all.
In other words, assuming that the gargoyle attacked her at that time, there is a high probability that she would disappear into the world so quietly.
If her previous attitude towards Lin Jie was respect, now she is in awe from the bottom of her heart.
Lin Jie laughed dumbly and said, "What does it matter? I am a bookstore. If you want to borrow it, you can just choose it at will. Do you want to look at the books on these shelves?"
"But everyone can only borrow three books at a time. If you want to buy them, the price will be higher, and only the books on the shelves behind you."
He pointed to the three rows of bookshelves behind Ji Zhixu, which were filled with books he had read and kept copies of.
Ji Zhixu shook her head, how dare she spy on this vast and mysterious library at will, and the last book "Blood and Beast" she only stayed at the prologue.
Going deeper, she was afraid that her spirit would go crazy by looking directly at the forbidden words.
We can only wait for the strength to increase further.
"Please recommend another suitable book for me. My will is too weak."
She sat on the stool with her hands on her knees, speaking carefully.
She is obviously a mature and glamorous royal sister in her twenties, but now she looks like a pitiful and lovable kitten.
Lin Jie felt that the young lady's attitude was a bit inexplicable.
Why did he only walk away for five minutes, and she spoke lightly as if she had seen a tiger.
It was as if something had hit the soul.
Lin Jie thought for a while, the only change in the middle should be the subordinate who suddenly left in a hurry.
When he was upstairs at the time, he vaguely heard a quarrel coming from downstairs.
In this case, according to his guess, this subordinate probably thinks that it is very inappropriate for this eldest lady to come to this broken bookstore.
So I wanted to dissuade the eldest lady from staying away from him as a "liar", but Ji Zhixu had already established her trust in him, so she refused.
In the end, the two broke up unhappily, and the subordinate may have gone home to report the eldest lady's rebellion.
Alas, that's right, this is the character of the eldest lady who can meet the scumbag.
"In that case, I do have a book that I can recommend to you."
Lin Jie stood up, dug out a book from the bookshelf and patted the dust, turned his head and squinted his eyes: "By the way, your subordinate's eyes are not quite right."
"It's better to say less about absolute loyalty and the like."
Ji Zhixu was a little hesitant in his heart after what happened just now, and shook his head: "But..."
The power of runes that the white wizards have inherited from ancient times, especially this "loyalty" brand, is very popular among high-level nobles and rich people.
Of course, the runes drawn by different wizards are also different, and only I can know how to remove them.
If Ryan's brand fails, it means—
Heywood, the white wizard supported by his father, probably sold the disarmed runes to others without authorization.
Lin Jie handed over the book in his hand and whispered: "Others are hell, you can never correctly judge what others are thinking, can you? No means can let a person's heart be completely exposed to you. in front of you."
"The only one you can rely on and believe in is yourself."
"So, work hard, when you're as indestructible as steel, no one can beat you."
Ji Zhixu stretched out his hands to take it, looked at the cover and murmured: "Steel..."
Lin Jie smiled and nodded.
Yes, it is "How Steel is Made".
"Look at it more, if you comprehend something from it, it will be helpful."
"In this way, one day, when you look back on the past, you won't feel remorse for being mediocre and wasting your time, and you won't feel guilty for being a despicable person and living a vulgar life."
"You have your own mission."
When Ji Orio left the bookstore and stood in a trance in the rain, the bookstore owner's words still lingered in his ears.
She looked at the "Iron Will" in her hand and slowly opened the pages.
In an instant, a nameless power filled her mind and soul, making her feel that everything in front of her was invisible.
