Chapter 2

Lin Jie talked with all kinds of customers in the bookstore all the year round, and mastered the skills of observing words and expressions and some simple speech skills.

The phrase "You seem to be in trouble" doesn't mean anything by itself.

Just like the opening line of the magic stick is always "I see your seal is black".

This is just a psychological suggestion.

Or you can think of this as an in-game FLAG that, when set up, triggers further dialogue.

When people hear the word "trouble", they will subconsciously wonder if they have really encountered any trouble recently.

And obviously, life is not going to be smooth sailing for most of us.

Whether it is a big trouble or a small trouble, it is a trouble.

When customers start to complain, it is when Mr. Lin instills chicken soup for the soul and quickly draws closer.

However, there is a chance that this trick will fail.

For example, the other party is really a very lucky child, or he is very wary of strangers, making it difficult to communicate.

But Lin Jie is very sure at the moment.

He must be able to open the other party's chatterbox.

Because the rain must have been a very bad trouble in itself for the drenched woman in front of her.

Ji Zhixu stopped wiping his body with a towel, looked up at the young man behind the counter with a calm and confident smile, and said in a low voice: "Yes, I have encountered an annoying trouble."

She couldn't judge whether the other party was an enemy or a friend.

But even if it is an enemy, she is at her weakest now, and she probably can't retreat in front of an existence that can make her feel mysterious.

Since he wants to play tricks, it's better to follow him.

Let her see how divine this guy is and what his purpose is.

If it is a friend, then everyone is happy.

If it was the enemy, then she bought herself more rest time.

When the woman in front of her raised her head to look at him, Lin Jie realized that her eyes were not black, but a deep iron gray with vicissitudes, and there were some flocs in the pupils, like exquisitely polished gems.

On the woman's fair ears, about three centimeters long blood-red narrow rhombus earrings twirled and shone.

No matter how you look at the details, this guest is full of stories.

Lin Jie asked, "Is it a problem in interpersonal relationship?"

Since she didn't complain about the rain, then, for a woman of this age, the most likely thing to have is a relationship problem.

Of course, we must not directly define whether it is love, friendship or family affection.

But let's say - relationships.

The general technique of liars, magic sticks and Mr. Lin is to speak relatively "ambiguously", leaving room for both yourself and the other party.

Ji Zhixu's heart sank.

Just twenty minutes ago, what happened in the hunter's secret stronghold was a mutiny against her.

It is her former colleagues and partners who are chasing and killing her now.

Greed blinded their eyes.

In other words, it's not wrong to regard this as her trouble in dealing with interpersonal relationships.

And this incident was known to outsiders in just twenty minutes.

Such a speed of transmission cannot be known after the fact.

So there are only two possibilities.

First, the hunter group had been planted with eyeliners, and had already tipped off the news before the incident happened.

Second, the young man in front of him has the ability to control the overall situation.

She looked at the dark red bubbling blood oozing from the towel, and a little acidic white smoke, she was silent for a moment, nodded and sat down, put her finger on the handle of the teacup, and tapped lightly: "I have been betray."

Oh?

Lin Jie raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

It's so bloody?

Is it her boyfriend who cheated on her mistress, or is the boat of friendship turned upside down?

But after all, Mr. Lin is a life mentor who sells chicken soup for the soul, not a gossip.

The more bloody, the more room to play.

"Everything has two sides. Although you have been betrayed, it's an opportunity to see others clearly."

He stretched out his hand to pick up the teapot and poured some water on the opposite side. With serious eyes, he said earnestly: "Some people will leave whether they stay or not. Those who want to leave can have thousands of reasons."

really.

The Egg of the Magic Mirror is just a fuse that triggers their greedy desires.

Even without the temptation of monsters to the soul.

One day in the future, the same drama as today will be staged.

The difference is just a difference of reason.

Ji Zhixu rubbed the cup wall, then smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "You are right, but this betrayal has caused me to lose a lot, and I have also been seriously injured. What's the use."

I lost a lot and got hurt... Is it because I lost a relationship and got hurt? Alas, what a sympathetic experience.

Lin Jie couldn't help feeling pity in his heart.

It seems that this is a frustrated and sad person who met a scumbag.

Physical wounds are easy to heal, but spiritual wounds are hard to heal.

And at times like this, he is especially needed as a chat teacher!

Lin Jie put his hands under his chin, looked directly at the other party, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Of course it is useful. Now you know what is the real face and what is a fake heart, and then you will not show mercy to those who hurt you, even if they were once People close to you, when you think about the pain you've been through, they're unforgivable monsters."

Loudly!

Ji Zhixu looked at the other party's dark and awe-inspiring eyes, subconsciously breathing rapidly.

Under the warm light, these eyes seemed to carry a magical power like an abyss, with three parts of compassion and seven parts of coldness, like a god who loves all living beings but is aloof.

Generally bewitching.

Ji Zhixu snapped back to his senses, shook his head viciously in his heart, and woke up.

Since the other party found her, there must be a purpose.

Now it seems that it is not an enemy, but it seems that she wants to use her to do something against the hunter organization...

Hunters who use the filthy blood from dream beasts as a source of power are sometimes called demons in the eyes of orthodox wizards.

From this point of view, the other party is not one of the three forces I guessed just now, but a high-ranking wizard who hates hunters?

Those thugs who have naturally mastered the power of words and letters.

"So……"

Ji Zhixu calmed down, took a deep breath in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "What do you think I should do?"

"Since they are not human beings, you can also use an eye for an eye and an eye for an eye!"

Lin Jie said in a low voice.

He is not selling those stomach-warming chicken soups that only numb the soul, otherwise a few words will make people tired, but they will not be able to keep long-term customers.

Facing the scumbag, you should give it a hard blow!

For a woman who seems to be very assertive like the other party, the loss at the moment is just a temporary confusion. As long as she is guided, she can act.

Sure enough, it was the character of wizards, Ji Zhixu opened the other palm under the table, it was covered with blood, her lips squirmed slightly... Isn't it human?

She has no such determination and preparation.

"But before that, you need to think about your thoughts and purpose first, and be prepared."

Lin Jie looked calmly, looked at the woman in front of him with a thoughtful expression, smiled and said:

"I thought you might need this book."

Seeing Lin Jietu poorly, he started his sales promotion business.

But this is not the right time to take a book directly from the shelf behind you, it's too obvious.

So he handed out the "Confessions" he was reading.

Ji Zhixu took it over in a daze.

The words "Blood and the Beast" are written on the cover of the book.

She has definitely read a lot of books, but she has never seen this book on the market.

Is it a book written by an unpopular author?

And, why give her the book?

Ji Zhixu frowned, opened his eyes with some doubts, then his pupils suddenly constricted, and his face changed suddenly.

The pages of the book are densely packed with ancient words, these words are twisted and combined, changing from moment to moment, no moment is the same, but people can read the meaning from them, each moment constitutes tens of thousands of different words!

This is... taboo knowledge!

The hunter was pale and trembling. The knowledge contained in it was so horrible that it was disgusting.

She immediately closed the book, trying to hold back her breath.

A message like a brand has been left in the fearful mind.

"Beastization!"
