Lin Jie waited outside the door for a while, and the door finally opened slowly.
And Pharaoh, who hadn't seen him for a long time, was wearing a loose black robe with intricate golden patterns and trimmings, not his signature face mask, revealing that old face covered with hideous scars, just outside the door. Then he gave him a respectful and warm smile.
This is not the first time Lin Jie has seen Wilde's true face. In fact, when they met for the first time, Wilde was not wearing a mask.
But Lin Jie did not judge people by their appearance, and still chose to instill chicken soup with the old king at that time, and enthusiastically recommended the first book "Resurrection" to him.
Wilde opened the door more, made a gesture of please, and said carefully: "Boss Lin, why are you here?"
"I want to talk to you about something, but you haven't come to me to borrow books recently. It happened that I hired a new assistant to help me check the store. When I have some free time, I will come by myself."
Lin Jie smiled and walked into the door.
"I take the liberty to visit, shouldn't it bother you?"
Wilde waved his hand quickly: "No, no, it's my honor to come here in person."
Lin Jie smiled and said, "That's good. To be honest, you live a little far away. I almost thought I had to take the bus for three or four hours."
Wilde closed the door. Hearing this, he couldn't help but think, I clearly saw you appearing directly at my door, and there was no movement at all.
He laughed dryly and explained, "You know, I need a more secluded environment."
Lin Jie agreed: "I understand that doing these research work without a good environment will indeed be troublesome. I have a deep understanding of this."
Wilde nodded thoughtfully, thinking of the remote location of the bookstore.
Lin Jie talked a few words with Wilde, but his eyes were involuntarily attracted by the clothes on the old man.
The robe looked mysterious and simple, like a mage's robe, the kind that ordinary people could never wear.
Hmm... Could this be Lao Wang's pajamas
Haha, this old man is old, but he still has such a heart of middle school, but men are still teenagers until they die, and Lin Jie understands it deeply.
Wilde suddenly felt Boss Lin's sight, passing over his robe representing the disciple of the Augustus faction of the "Dark Emperor", and then cast a meaningful glance at him with a hint of friendly smile.
Lin Jie was afraid that his eyes would be mistaken for strange prejudice, so he calmly praised: "The taste of clothes is really good, old man."
Wilde's heart skipped a beat. Does this sentence imply that his teacher was good, and he chose the right teacher? !
A once bold guess came to mind again.
Boss Lin, he really knew the teacher!
Wilde remembered the book "Void Silence", which seemed to depict a strange world full of magic, connecting the rules of life and death, which made him incomprehensible.
At that time, the owner of the bookstore once said that the book was written by a giant.
But... Augustus is the last descendant of the giants who survived from the first era to the present. Apart from him, there are no other giants in this world.
So either that book has survived from the First Age, or it was written by Augustus, and maybe it's like... just as Wilde gave his favorite creation work to the bookstore owner, Augustus Gustas also gave Lin Jie his proud work.
No matter what it is, the mystery of the bookstore owner seems to be deeper, like layers of fog, and it is impossible to see what the mystery behind it is.
Maybe... it might be the real God.
Wilde's mouth was dry because of his guess, and he was full of shock. After guiding Lin Jie to sit down, he poured a glass of water for the other party and himself, and took a few sips to calm down.
He put down the glass, decided to express his position, and said cautiously: "Thank you for your compliment, I also think so, this dress has a very special meaning to me, it represents the most important part of my life. Times, no matter what, I will never forget.”
Lin Jie nodded, it turns out that it has been kept from when he was young until now, just to commemorate his middle two years.
What a nostalgic old king, alas, no wonder he was deceived by his own children at that time.
I believe that such a person is not a helper.
If he really came into contact with the organization "Blood Banquet", he must have been forced, or had other plans.
From Lin Jie's current view, Lao Wang's demeanor is more like the latter.
Wilde carefully observed Lin Jie's demeanor. Seeing that his expression seemed to soften a little, with a vague approval, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Are you coming to me for my own decision?"
Lin Jie leaned forward slightly, put his hands on his knees habitually, and said sternly: "Yes, you are related to the 'Blood Banquet' again, right? How did I persuade you, have you forgotten? "
Wilde said solemnly: "Actually, I want to use this meeting with them to develop them into bookstore customers, your believers."
"?"
"Hold on."
Lin Jie stretched out his hand and couldn't help but say, "My believer?"
Wilde realized that he had made a blunder. The owner of the bookstore never said that he needed believers. He always only recommended books to customers, guiding them out of the past and reborn.
What really made him understand Lin Jie's intentions was the previous book "The Ritual of Corpse Eating" because of the various sacrifice rituals described in this book.
The so-called sacrifice must have an object of sacrifice, and the way described in the book is so cruel and tyrannical, if the object of sacrifice is a god, then it must be an evil god.
And Boss Lin, who wrote this book, is undoubtedly a priest.
But in fact, Wilde's guess in his heart is that the two are one... So I accidentally said it now.
"Ahem, I mean... believers of books."
Wilde covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and then his eyes were firm: "I have always been helped by you, I have thought about it, a mere gargoyle is not enough to repay, but everything in material seems so slight.
"So, I decided to practice your ideas, let these people who have gone astray find the true meaning of life, and let them also listen to your teachings!"
"… "
Lin Jie's eyes were complicated, and he did not expect that Lao Wang rejoined the "Blood Banquet" for this reason.
No, no, this can't be called "joining", it's "breaking into" to prepare for a rebellion and disintegrate this group!
This, this is so enlightening!
Boss Lin was very moved and felt that his chicken soup for the past two years had not been in vain.
But this matter was indeed too dangerous for a person of Lao Wang's age, so he decided to persuade him again.
Lin Jie said bitterly: "Pharaoh, it's good for you to have such a heart, but..."
His eyes narrowed, and he went over Old Wang's shoulder and landed behind the partition wall of the room.
A pool of dark red blood was flowing on the floor...
"But what is that?"
