Joseph's deep dark blue pupils looked up and down Ivan Zackley, confirming that he had never seen this person before.
But Ivan's eyes seemed to know Joseph, and the fear in his eyes fell into Lin Jie's eyes.
Lin Jie blinked and couldn't help feeling strange... This robber seems to know Joseph.
"you you… "
Zachary got up quickly, then took a few steps back silently.
He opened his eyes, and the more he wanted to forget, the more doubted his existence, the more he saw the last scene before he passed out, the clearer it became.
And the more he was able to discover that the tall middle-aged man in front of him was the one he saw when he climbed out of the ruins of the factory, who was transformed into the sun and fell from the sky.
Joseph narrowed his eyes and wondered about this man's reaction, but after thinking about it for a while, he was still not sure whether he knew the poor refugee in front of him.
He has saved and met too many people.
This moment of hesitation made Zachary's fear even worse. When he stepped back, he stumbled and fell backwards.
"Eh-ah!"
Lin Jie subconsciously put down the book in his hand and wanted to stand up.
"Bang! Whoa-"
Zachary panicked and slammed into the bookcase, Lin Jie's newly brought out the layers of books that had not been sorted out for a while—
Morn and Joseph opened their eyes at the same time.
Zachley raised his head subconsciously and looked up, but saw the crumbling books in his field of vision. From this perspective, it was as if a magnificent high-rise building had collapsed. It will break the seal when it falls to the ground.
For Joseph, these books are the power and knowledge of Boss Lin - all of those books record extraordinary truths, and any book may be able to create a god-level extraordinary person.
Even if Boss Lin doesn't care about it, he can't, and these books must not land!
Therefore, at this moment, Joseph's pupils were constricted, his muscles were tense in an instant, and ether was burning all over his body from the inside, covering every inch of the structure of his body, and even the air around him became a little hot and twisted in an instant—
Joseph disappeared almost instantly, and appeared next to the book that was about to be dumped in the next second. He raised his strong arm and pressed against the pile of books that was about to be dumped.
But he overlooked one point, that is, his injury has not healed, and the power of the gods has not been completely controlled by him.
So, while the ether bursting out from within him was protecting these books, it couldn't restrain and escaped outwards like a trace—
"Crack!"
The moment the book was held back, the wall behind the bookshelf... cracked.
There were cobweb-like cracks on the wall, and some ash fell from the wall.
At the same time, several refugees near Joseph felt like they had been hit with a sap in the back of their head, and they all fainted.
but!
None of these books fell to the ground! Big success!
Joseph breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and finished the bookshelf respectfully.
Lin Jie: "…"
Boss Lin's buttocks, which had not been raised, sat back again, and then put his hands on his chin, and fell into complete contemplation.
If he read it right just now, he rushed past him at a flash-like speed, and the person who caused the wall to crack the next second was Joseph...
No, no, there is not necessarily a causal relationship between the two.
Lin Jie thought about it seriously. After all, Nuojin even has outrageous geological phenomena such as periodic strata collapse, so maybe the stratum has not been stable recently. There was a small earthquake that was not easy to detect, so the cracking of the wall is also very serious. possible.
He could see clearly just now, Joseph just caught the book, and didn't touch the counter or the wall at all.
Could it be…
As a police officer in a secret department with prosthetic limbs, Joseph's force value has reached the realm of bullying
It's not impossible... In his previous life, the trained martial arts masters on Earth could chop marbles with their bare hands. In this world where the technology tree is crooked, this level is normal.
Not worth the fuss at all.
Lin Jie nodded secretly, covered his mouth and coughed twice, looked at the crack on the wall, and said, "Joseph, it seems that your injury is recovering well... The response is quite fast, thank you."
"No no no, Boss Lin is very polite, I just don't want your precious books to fall to the ground and become dusty." Joseph smiled and said respectfully: "This is what I should do, even if I don't do it, you Presumably the assistants will do the same.”
"Oh... yes."
Lin Jie looked up at Mo En, she still looked calm, as if everything she saw in front of her was true and normal.
Indeed, even Morn can play six, presumably Joseph's situation is very normal.
After all, Joseph is the leader of the secret department of the Central Police Station. There are no two brushes that can’t be justified. By analogy, it may be the kind of special forces trained since childhood
But then again - Lao Tzu's wall! ! !
Joseph, what are you paying me for! ! !
Forget it, he was still a wounded, and it was also to protect the book, not to mention that these refugees had to be dealt with by Joseph.
"Huh..."
After taking a few deep breaths and calming his aura, Lin Jie calmed down.
He was about to ask, but with a glance out of the corner of his eyes, he found that among the refugees, only the guy who robbed him before fainted, and all the others fell unconscious.
"Uh..." Lin Jie propped up the counter with his arms and looked down at the refugees who were so frightened that they fell to the ground.
Joseph turned around and was quite surprised. This person was obviously not an extraordinary person, but he was still able to maintain his own thoughts under the pressure of a god-level extraordinary person.
Under the shock of the skyrocketing ether pressure, Zachary did not faint, but sat on the ground with a dull look, recalling the scene of crawling out of the ruins of the factory in his mind.
He was now certain that Joseph was the last scene he saw before he passed out, the knight in flames.
Me, will I be silenced? ! Zachley swallowed and recalled that the Central District Government had concealed this matter, but he had inadvertently seen—
The more you know, the faster you die.
Zachary's heart was completely gripped by fear, but, but now he is left alone, and he has to think about the lives of his comrades...
"Are you all right?" Lin Jie asked Zachary.
"No, it's fine." Zachley got up from the ground cautiously and forced a smile. In fact, his legs had already been weakened by the shock.
"Your companions... why are you fainting?"
Lin Jie frowned and looked at the refugees lying on the ground.
Shouldn't it be because of Joseph? He didn't touch these people.
Zachary's mouth twitched slightly, isn't that what you did? !
Taking 10,000 steps back was also done by this burly man you instructed, but you turned around and asked me with an innocent face? ! are you human
He could feel very clearly that the breath that was exuding in an instant just now was exactly the same as when he was in a coma.
"Probably... fainted from hunger?"
Zachley actually smiled... Since the other party asked this question, he must have wanted him to pretend he didn't know, didn't know what just happened, didn't know Joseph's identity, he didn't know anything.
Can't say, absolutely can't say that I have seen Joseph... I will be silenced.
Lin Jie: "?"
"Old, boss... To be honest, we haven't eaten for a few days." Zackley said tremblingly: "We originally worked as laborers in Block 67, but Block 67 experienced weekly, weekly, and periodic subsidence. , we are homeless, and only then did we think of robbing your bookstore, it is really desperate."
"Yes, sorry!"
Zachary folded his hands together, terrified, and out of the corner of his eye was secretly aiming at Joseph, telling what he had been through all along.
To him, the fear of the bookstore owner in front of him could not equal the fear given by Joseph, but Joseph was so respectful to the bookstore owner, which showed that the bookstore owner was even more terrifying than Joseph. Offend a more powerful person!
It was so...
After hearing this reason, Lin Jie's heart moved, and he thought of the tragic situation in Block 67 reported on TV. He had already guessed something, and he didn't want to bring them to justice, and now there is no reason to send him to the police station. .
"Oh, now that you know I'm sorry, don't do this kind of thing again."
Lin Jie thought for a while, and felt that these people probably couldn't afford to buy books, but it was always his principle to be helpful, so he smiled and said, "I'm so hungry, let's have a meal here."
As soon as the words fell, Zachary's legs went soft.
"No need, no need, thank you for your kindness."
Zachary waved his hands again and again, and at the same time kept saying: "Let's go, let's go."
It was true that Zachley hadn't eaten for a few days, but at this moment, he burst into a powerful force, dragging his fellow accomplices, and hurriedly crawled out of the bookstore.
"Hey, wait a minute." Lin Jie suddenly shouted behind him, making Zachary even faster.
"Boss Lin called you."
Joseph whispered, and Zachary froze immediately.
"Anything else? Boss."
Zachley turned his head, wanting to cry without tears.
"As the saying goes, it is better to teach him how to fish than to teach him how to fish." Lin Jie pondered and said slowly: "Even if I teach you a lesson today or let you have a good meal, and the same thing happens again, you are afraid I will still steal it in the future.”
"In that case, I'll give you a book." Lin Jie smiled and looked at Zachary: "No charge, but if this book can help you get out of poverty in the future, it's not impossible for you to repay me. ."
Lin Jie said, turned around and reached for the book on the shelf.
Zachary was stunned for a moment, and there was some indescribable feeling in his heart.
It's okay, I don't want to be a good person anymore... But why did this happen to him again.
But this feeling only lasted for a moment. When he moved his eyes and stared at the back of the bookstore owner, he suddenly realized that the bookstore in front of him was a bookstore, but it was as dark and deep as the mouth of an evil beast. The smile of this harmless bookstore owner was hidden in the darkness, and it was filled with a delusional power as evil as poison.
He turned around, as if stirring the dim light, then took out a book from the deep bookshelf and placed it in front of Zachary, who subconsciously held his breath.
"It's an old technology, but it's still very practical today, and I believe it can bring you a whole new path."
Lin Jie solemnly pushed the book "How to Pickle Vegetables" in his hand.
