Chapter 3

"Beastization!"

Ji Zhixu almost stood up from his seat in shock, but he forcibly restrained his impulse.

The information in the mind is as solid as if it existed in the first place, firmly imprinted in the memory.

It even made her feel the scorching pain of being branded.

"Beastification: Power extracted from blood, controlled by blood..."

Holding the book in his hand, Ji Zhixu's eyelids twitched, and his heart was terrified. What the hell is this? !

The power of the hunters comes from the dream beasts, and part of their power is obtained by injecting potions with filthy blood as the main raw material. They are people who stare into the abyss and become the abyss.

Injecting filthy blood is a very dangerous act, and the initial injection even has a certain fatality rate.

This is also a threshold to become a hunter.

And if the dose exceeds a certain ratio, the hunter will soon be infected, and the uncontrollable filthy blood will wreak havoc in the body, causing a certain degree of abnormal phenomenon.

The specific phenomenon is roughly divided into three stages: distorted personality, evaporation of reason, and alienation of the body.

The higher the concentration of foul blood, the stronger the hunter and the deeper the anomaly.

Among the alienation of the body, the most common is animalization.

Such animalization is uncontrollable!

The strength of those old hunters who have accumulated too much filthy blood is unimaginable, but under normal circumstances, they are tortured by the phenomenon of animalization, and they are even unable to move, which is very painful.

What Ji Zhixu wanted was not to be a human being, but to use the second injection to gain strength, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye!

But unexpectedly, this mysterious bookstore owner actually gave her the method to control the filthy blood!

Completely controllable animalization!

A problem that hunters and wizards from ancient times have not been able to solve!

"Confessions..."

Clearly feeling the howl of surrender from the blood in his body, Ji Zhixu's voice trembled slightly, a little hoarse: "Is this what you want me to do?"

What a madman!

A mighty madman!

This short piece of information is enough to subvert the power system that the entire hunter group relies on for survival!

Once this skill spreads, the order established by hunters relying on filthy blood will be broken!

In doing so, she is tantamount to setting off a conquest against the old world.

She may be a saint, she may be a sinner.

All the choices of fate and the turmoil of the times are now in her hands.

She will repent for the dead old world.

Ji Zhixu's breathing gradually became heavy, and he lowered his head to stare at the book in his hand, which was very clear in this quiet bookstore.

Lin Jie sighed inwardly as he looked at the woman with her head lowered and her shoulders trembling slightly.

Alas, this is a lovelorn woman.

sentimental.

Although it looks like a strong woman, it is actually just an appearance, a fragile shell.

Look, just a few words of comfort and encouragement, she was about to cry.

Of course, sometimes, crying is not because of sadness, but because there is someone to talk to and rely on.

But after venting her fragility, she still needs a shot of boosting her self-confidence, making her believe that she can do it, that she can face everything, and show her true self!

He said: "Yes, I need you to do this, and you must do the same, not to repent, but to face yourself honestly."

The young man on the opposite side had already withdrawn his gaze and whispered, as if speaking to her, or whispering to himself:

"Blow the trumpet of the Doomsday if you will, and I will stand before the Supreme Judge with this book in my hand. I will declare aloud: 'This is what I do, what I think, and who I am. I Speak good and evil with equal frankness.'”

What Lin Jie said was the original text of Rousseau's "Confessions".

He smiled and said: "Everyone has a beast-like primitive desire, this is the truth, isn't it?"

Ji Zhixu raised his head suddenly, and saw Lin Jie picked up his teacup, touched the cup in front of him with a "nail" sound, and looked up at her: "Cheers to a brand new tomorrow, how about it?"

a long time.

She put down the book in her hand, solemnly picked up the teacup and drank it down, smiled, then bowed her head cautiously and said: "Thank you for your guidance, I will follow your wishes."

Lin Jie just took a sip, and seeing Ji Zhixu finishing his drink in one gulp, he paused and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

Why did he drink it all? He just said a symbolic sentence, just wanting the other party to drink more hot water to warm their stomach...

And more importantly, he just added water to the other side, it was a real glass of boiling water!

Why did she drink it all without blinking? !

Forget it.

After all, she just lost her love, so it is possible that she is in a trance... right.

Lin Jie put down his cup, still tentatively asking: "Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Ji Zhixu shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

During the time the two talked, her injury had completely healed on its own.

Such is the power of foul blood.

Well, since the other party said so, he should be fine.

After all, if he was really burned, it would be impossible for the other party to talk to him properly now.

"Would you like to rest for a while?"

Lin Jie took out a black umbrella under the counter and shook it: "Unfortunately, my bookstore is too crowded, there is no extra space, and there is no guest room, so I can only take you in until tonight."

"Here is the umbrella. You can take it away with the book. The deadline for returning the book is one month, with a maximum of seven days. Remember to bring the umbrella back when the time comes."

His bookstore is not so much a bookstore, but more like a simple bookstore, except for books, it is a bookcase.

"I'll be leaving in a while."

Ji Zhixu took the umbrella, signed his name and information on the registration book that Lin Jie took out, and whispered cautiously: "Can I get to know you."

I?

What I said just now should not be over the limit, or is it true that a woman who is broken in love is really easy to take advantage of it?

Lin Jie blinked and showed a business smile: "My name is Lin Jie, I'm just an ordinary but helpful bookstore owner."

He packed the books in a plastic bag and glanced down at the register.

The name Ji Zhixu...huh?

That's the name of Ji Bonong, the famous tycoon engaged in the development of underground resources in the lower urban area, his only daughter?

Lin Jie felt that his memory was not bad, and this name was also considered distinctive, so he definitely did not remember it wrong.

Coupled with the other party's outstanding appearance, and the evening dress that looked like a custom design.

He pretended to be calm and put the register back in silence.

It's still a big fish.

You can definitely cheat... earn enough money to decorate the bookstore!

Ji Zhixu was not disappointed, but rather expected.

Since the other party didn't want to reveal her identity, she could only rely on her efforts to at least get rid of all those betrayers before the one-month deadline came!

Then, come back for help with the next step...

She took two steps back, took the umbrella and books with one hand, tucked the cane under her armpit, pressed the other hand to her chest, and saluted Lin Jie.

"Good night, then."

Lin Jie scratched his head, should he be called the eldest lady, this etiquette is a bit too exaggerated.

Ji Zhixu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up straight again respectfully, turned around and walked out of the store, opened the door, opened the umbrella, and walked forward in the heavy rain.

Suddenly, she held down the mechanism of the cane, and her whole body became alert again, looking forward vigilantly.

On the opposite side came an old man holding an umbrella, hunched over, walking slowly in the rain, holding a book in his hand.
