"Tick, tick."
Moen specially installed a pendulum clock in the new bookstore, which could make her feel the passage of time soberly.
The crisp sound echoed in the bookstore, making the huge bookstore seem empty, with an indescribable coolness, but this is not the reason why the bookstore has no customers.
The branch in the central district has been open for more than ten days, but unfortunately it is too busy.
This situation is different from the conjecture that Morn and Vincent discussed together before. They originally thought that there would be a large number of guests, and they selected a group of senior family members of Boss Lin through the spread of the bookstore.
Unfortunately, there were no guests at all.
Morn, who has the power of the moon, certainly knows why.
But it doesn't matter, their goal is not here, the real Nuojin high-level has buried secrets, just waiting for everything to start.
"Ji Zhixu, it seems that he has completely become the family of Boss Lin." Mo En whispered, and his voice echoed in the quiet bookstore.
As a witch of the night, with the power of [Eye of the Moon], there is almost nothing in the entire Nuojin that can escape her eyes, including of course Ji Zhixu's actions.
"There is a group of people. I thought she was going to increase the number of Boss Lin's family by publishing Boss Lin's books, but I didn't expect that he would gather everyone in the form of an auction, select suitable favored ones, and take advantage of the spirit of those extraordinary people. Control parasitic them when they fester."
A loud and familiar voice suddenly sounded in the bookstore, directly telling Mo En what he was thinking, Mo En didn't need to look back to know who it was.
Vincent, with blond hair and a full-cheeked beard, was the image of a benevolent priest.
"From a certain point of view, Ji Zhixu not only chose the most suitable and qualified favored person for Boss Lin, but also sought enough clones for himself, which is really smart."
"Of course." Mo En curled the corners of his mouth invisibly and said, "She is the one chosen by Boss Lin."
"Most of the nobles are already Ji Zhixu, no wonder you don't have any guests." Vincent said with a smile, then walked to the opposite side of Morn and sat down, "In this case, Ji Zhixu and his daughter are completely Boss Lin's attendant."
"It's their honor," Moen said as a matter of course.
In Mo En's opinion, being the canine tooth of Boss Lin is probably the luckiest thing for Ji's father and daughter.
This is indeed the case. Without Boss Lin, Ji Zhixu would have died long ago.
"Since Ji Zhixu has taken care of it well, let's do it." Mo En ordered... As the owner of the branch, she, from a certain perspective, represents the will of Boss Lin.
"Central District...?" Vincent asked slightly hesitantly.
"It's just the witch of the tree, Flaxinas, nothing to be afraid of." Morn looked back at the window, and there was a beautiful kingfisher on the window sill.
"The witch of the tree... is it the witch of the tree?" Vincent muttered in surprise.
The kingfisher chirped twice and disappeared from the windowsill.
Ji Zhixu, who was far away in the 67th block, put down the pen, and the memory of the clone from the kingfisher was completely transmitted to her brain.
"Witch of the tree..." Ji Zhixu took a deep breath, then turned back and said to Ji Bonong: "Then let's do it, this is Ms. Moen's order, and Ms. Moen's will is Boss Lin's will."
Ji Bonong raised his eyebrows. He really gained extraordinary abilities from Boss Lin's book "The Palm of the Void". He has the power to twist the economy and commerce. The collapse of the currency economy and commerce is only in Ji Bonong's thoughts. .
…
Spona Palaci is the youngest daughter of the noble Palaci family in the central district. She was pampered from a young age and occasionally developed an arrogant temper, but Spona is very smart—
As long as you pay attention to your sense of proportion, a little arrogance will also make people know that you are not easy to mess with, and make those who look down on superficiality stay away.
Because of this, she is arrogant and doesn't have many friends... But Ji Zhixu, the eldest lady of Rolle Resources, is one of them.
In her eyes, although Ji Zhixu was born ordinary, she is a young girl of the new era with erudite knowledge, mysterious birth and stalwart eyes.
Unfortunately, since her parents asked her to learn dance, she gradually separated from Ji Zhixu.
Sibona's housekeeper often reminds her that the Ji family of Luoer Resources is a businessman with a lowly bloodline, but they are just tools. .
But Sibo Na didn't care, she only thought that Ji Zhixu was very smart, much better than the average noble lady who only had makeup powder in her head.
Making friends with Ji Zhixu can make her feel a sense of superiority.
For a long time, no, until today, Ji Zhixu was like her idol.
Sibo Na has no interest in dancing. Her real dream is to become an extraordinary person, not a tool for future marriage.
According to her investigation, in the past few years, her good sister Ji Zhixu seems to have become a powerful superhuman. Maybe she secretly contacts her to get the chance to become superhuman.
This made her admire Ji Zhixu even more, and even secretly carved her name on the corner of the table to motivate herself.
After several days of training at the dance academy on the outskirts of the central district, Spona finally returned home.
"Dad! Mom!"
Sibona carried her calfskin box, pushed the door open, and stood there in surprise.
Her father, mother, elder brother and elder sister were sitting motionlessly around the round dining table, but it was not meal time now.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Spona whispered, but no one answered him in the empty room.
She turned around and saw that the driver had parked the car like a machine, and sat in the car motionless, with no intention of coming out, just like parents, brothers and sisters sitting at the dining table.
Spona frowned suspiciously, pulled away the chair at the dining table, and sat on the chair carefully.
The parents and siblings had the same radian smiles, and their eyes were quietly blooming in their sockets, not even blinking.
"Mom, what happened to you?"
"We're all right, my dear Spona." The parents said at the same time in the same voice.
Spona: "..."
A faint unease filled Si Bona's body. She looked around randomly. The maid, the driver, and even the black cat and the hound all seemed to have the same expression. on Bona.
The corners of the mouth have a similar arc... Even the black cat is.
Sibo Na took a deep breath and almost fell off the stool. She stood up nervously and walked quickly towards the door—
- It is extraordinary! Someone controlled my parents with supernatural powers! Si Bona has not received the training of superhumans since she was a child. She is a completely ordinary person. She hurried to the door and wanted to leave here.
"Where are you going, my dear Spona." A voice suddenly sounded in the whole mansion, and the voice came from everyone in the whole house, and dozens of mouths made the same tone.
"Ah!!" Sibona screamed and tripped over the carpet.
"Where are you going, my dear Spona." Her mother walked towards her, the curvature of the corners of her mouth seemed to be measured with a ruler, and her mother's face suddenly looked like a split flower—with several fleshy petals blooming, Become a cruel flower of flesh and blood.
Before Spona could scream, spores gradually grew in the middle of the flower—
"Tell me where you are going, my dear sister," said her sister, standing behind her mother, with the same expression.
"I, I, I, I'm going to Ji Zhixu sister!" Si Bona sat on the ground with weak legs, thinking in her mind that she was the only extraordinary person he knew.
Contrary to Spona's expectations, after the mother's entire head turned into a sunflower, after hearing Ji Zhixu's name, the flesh flaps began to gradually close, returning to the original stiff face.
In an instant, her face began to loosen again, and it began to come alive like ashes had fallen off a cement wall, and the first sentence she said was—
"What are you looking for from me, Spona?" Ji Zhixu said from his mother's mouth with a smile.
"Ji... Ji... ah!!!"
Sibona opened her eyes wide in surprise and opened her mouth wide. She got up from the ground screaming and rushed out of the house.
Ji Zhixu, who was wearing the shell of Spona's mother, looked at the stumbled girl and tilted her head in confusion.
…
Sibo Na rushed out of the gate. As a noble lady, she rarely even used her feet on the soil. She stumbled a few steps and fell several times. Her knees and elbows were smashed with blood, but the fear made her feel no pain at all. .
Go to the Central Police Station, where is the place where Dad works, the Palachi family is the uncrowned king of the entire Central Police Station.
"Help help!!" she shouted as she ran.
She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she was far away from home, and then began to cry loudly and helplessly.
"Mom and Dad!!" She was at a loss on the street, but the scene on the street made her even more incredible—
Those workers who usually work obediently, smashed factories and stores as if they were possessed by demons. They held the flag high, like a madman, and there were dozens of explosions in the distance.
The originally well-organized central area was now chaotic like hell.
Si Bona held her head, these things seemed to shatter her three views in an instant.
"What happened..." She muttered to herself, watching the leading workers, dragging a noble lady out with all her strength, and slamming it to the ground.
Si Bona opened her eyes wide and looked at the somewhat familiar noble lady. Si Bona wanted to stop it, but the leading worker raised her head, but a delicate smile appeared on her rough face. Saw exactly the same at home.
Seasonal weaving…
"Ahhh!!!" She screamed and ran away.
Spona ran like crazy, but that smile seemed to be everywhere, on everyone's face.
"Boom—" The headless, fly-like Spona bumped into a burly man.
She raised her head, the face of a benevolent priest reflected in her eyes, the priest's gentle smile was completely different from Ji Zhixu, and he held a book called "The Sun Canon" in his hand.
