Just tidying up the registration... an easy job
Hearing this, the girl looked at the bookshelves around her, her body tensed subconsciously, and she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Just lying here, you can feel such a terrifying and heavy atmosphere, it is hard to imagine what these books, bookshelves and this entire bookstore are.
She doesn't even dare to close her eyes now, because according to what she perceives now, once she closes her eyes, once the creepy feeling will be infinitely magnified...
At that time, the picture in the darkness will not be this dim and dilapidated bookstore.
Instinctively, she didn't want to be in close contact with these things every day, just thinking about it made her hair stand on end.
But if you don't agree...
In a better situation, she will continue to face the pursuit of the Truth Society. Maybe she can escape smoothly, but the next days will still be full of unknowns and confusion for her.
She knows almost nothing about the outside world except what she has learned from the people of the Truth Society.
But if she doesn't get out of the hunt, maybe... her real life will come to an end after only a few days.
At worst, she might not even be able to walk out the door of the bookstore after she refused.
As an artificial human who has just been separated from the culture medium and has not been exposed to such a complicated situation, the girl's little head is a little down now.
If you measure it, the danger level of both sides seems to be about the same
Even, it seems that staying is the best option.
Provide new identities, provide asylum, at the cost of…
"If you don't want to, I won't force it. You have your own plans and I won't interfere. Don't be so nervous."
Lin Jie saw the hesitation and nervousness on the girl's expression, stood up, and said with a smile, "Don't think about it so much for now, let's talk about the injury."
"Until your injury heals, I will still take you in. After that, it's up to you to choose whether to stay or go."
He reached out to help the girl up, put her hand on his shoulder, and motioned her to lie on his back.
"It's just that you have to deal with your new identity or follow-up troubles. After all, I'm just an ordinary bookstore owner, not a charity."
Solve some things for the guests within their ability, or incarnate as a life mentor to conduct psychological counseling, these are long-term investments, in order to shorten the relationship with the guests and enable them to trust him.
Even if you don't have a book you want to buy, just chat and think about it, right
In other words, this is actually an equivalent exchange.
However, this girl who was picked up is different. She is not a stable source of customers, and may even bring unpredictable danger.
No matter how kind and enthusiastic Lin Jie is, it is impossible to give a complete stranger a completely unrewarded and disproportionate help.
The girl hesitated for a moment, and then slowly put her hands on Lin Jie's shoulders, lying on his back with a very jerky movement.
Lin Jie stretched out his hand to support the slender thigh of the girl behind him, carefully avoiding the wound, and walked towards the stairs.
"I don't have any extra room here, so you can sleep in my bed first, I'll change to a reclining chair, and I'll buy a new bed tomorrow."
The girl stared at the back of his head unblinkingly, and the temperature from the man's body pressed against her skin, bringing a completely different new experience.
So close, so hot... I can hear my heartbeat.
Lin Jie went upstairs to open the bedroom door, walked in two steps, and felt that the girl's body behind him seemed a little nervous, with both hands tightly grasping the back collar of his clothes.
"What's wrong?"
He turned his head and saw that the girl's eyes were on the dream catcher on the head of his bed, so he smiled and said, "It's beautiful, it was given to me by an old customer of mine, it can make people dream well. It is a local product called dream catcher, and it is effective for personal testing.”
good dream
Are you referring to the net that is emitting the breath of an abyssal predator
When she was 277, she had seen cobweb fragments with the same breath in the laboratory, which were protected by a device composed of layers of protective arrays.
It is said to be from a dream beast called abyss predator, which has the power to weave small dreams and drag people into terrifying hallucinatory dreams to kill slowly.
And here, it seems to be made into some kind of spell casting prop.
What kind of existence is this "old customer"...
But... no matter how you think about it, this kind of thing that looks very strange can't make people dream. This personal test is effective, how did it measure it
Thinking so, the girl's eyes were drawn to the long sword on the table again.
Lin Jie also said at this time: "And that sword is also a souvenir from the guest. It is a symbol of family glory and is very precious."
Compared to the dream catcher, the aura emanating from this long sword is much more decent, grand and gorgeous, but the white flame-like brilliance is equally dangerous.
This sword seems to be placed on the table casually, as if the owner of this bedroom is a knight skilled in killing techniques, and even when sleeping, the weapon should not be far from him.
At any time, he can draw his long sword and decapitate any intruding enemy.
It seems that she has been placed in his bedroom, but in fact, this is a clear warning...
Lin Jie felt that the girl behind him seemed to be even more nervous after listening to his explanation. She felt that she might be afraid of the new environment, so she put her on the bed, pulled out her spare clothes from the cabinet and handed it over, saying: "Don't worry. , no one will hurt you here, if you feel scared, just call me."
The girl took it and thought silently, there really is no "people" here...
She raised her head and asked without end, "Humans... Are humans all so high in temperature?"
Let's just treat the man in front of him as a human being.
"Gao?" Lin Jie laughed dumbly, and touched her forehead with his hand: "It's because you are too cold, this is a sign of excessive blood loss, remember to cover the quilt at night."
He pulled the quilt on the side and said, "I only have what I use here, so I'll leave it alone for now."
The dressed girl lay down on her back, covered the quilt obediently, and looked at him with a pair of black eyes, like a chick that had just broken its shell, trying to imprint the first figure she saw in her mind.
Lin Jie put away the sword on the table so as not to scare the children, suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said, "Since you don't have a name, do you want to get another one?"
The girl nodded.
"Any ideas? If not, let me get one for you."
Lin Jie looked at the sky outside the window, because the dark clouds that had blocked Nuojin for a month dissipated, finally revealing a bright moon.
"How is it, Moon? From today, your name is Moon."
