Chapter 12

"Mouse" Ryan, they all called him.

In the hunter organization "White Wolf", most people's filthy blood comes from the ferocious and cruel dream beast - "Wolf of the Empty Court".

His nickname among wolves seems to be a great irony.

But he is proud of it.

Is there anything wrong with being a timid mouse?

Insidious, cunning, greedy, slippery, etc...

For him, it's all compliments.

Only such people can live long.

Oh, yes, and a keen sense of smell and clear vision.

Judging the situation is his life-saving magic weapon.

From being a street gangster at the very beginning, he spent so many years, I don't know how many organizations he has been in, and how many times he has been a traitor.

No one can kill him, no one is willing to kill him.

"Mouse" Ryan's intelligence network, only he himself knows how deep it is.

But this time, he took refuge in a woman.

When the miraculous wolf-like veterinary posture brought destruction and blood like destruction, and gracefully transformed back into human beings, Ryan understood that the night of the hunters might have a different master.

What this woman brings will be an unprecedented revolution!

But it doesn't matter, even if she fails, "Mouse" Ryan will be fine.

A wizard's brand of loyalty?

Ha, sorry, he has already secretly obtained the method of cracking it.

Relying on false surrender, he didn't know how chic he had been living these years, but those masters who were betrayed by him had already turned into piles of loess.

And those idiots who couldn't see the situation clearly and hanged themselves on a tree, such as the third leader Kaji... have already proved with their own lives how cheap and dangerous trust is.

When he was working for Herris, he also relied on this trick to convince the leader of the white wolf that he was such a vicious intelligence dealer.

Now, it is even easier to lie to such a little girl and eldest lady...

Rats - they also have their own ambitions!

If he could get a way to control the animalization, he would no longer have to depend on others, and be a rat that only deserves to run rampant in the sewer.

Ah, with incomparable strength, coupled with the intelligence network he controls, he can be his own emperor in the sun!

At that time, everyone will submit to him...

Ryan looked back from the surroundings and landed on the owner of the bookstore. He carefully judged and observed with all his forty years of experience.

Finally came to the conclusion - this young man is just an ordinary person.

Although there is a gargoyle on the table, but this gargoyle does not have the slightest ether fluctuation, like... no, this is a small object that ordinary people would use as decorations in their homes.

but……

His eyes moved to Ji Zhixu again.

The hunter looked respectful and humble, as if the other party was a god-level powerhouse.

Ryan was confused for the first time.

Is he old? Is it because the mouse's eyesight is not sharp enough, and the sense of smell is not sensitive enough?

No, it doesn't.

He has always been confident in his own judgment. Not long ago, he accurately judged that Herris would make a big move, and this guy's expression towards their subordinates was not right recently, so he turned to this side early on. A fatal disaster was avoided.

As it turns out, he was right.

And this time, he also chose to believe in himself.

But out of respect for the new owner and natural caution, he decided to see what good words this guy would say before he could get this kind of treatment.

Lin Jie's idea is very simple, as long as he appease the other party's anxiety, let her understand that this scumbag is indeed not as good as her, now the other party is afraid of her, and she has won the victory, the rest just needs to wait.

He said: "You don't have to worry too much, things are easier than you imagined, your enemy is not him now, but something else, what you fear is only fear itself, so... just wait for a while, it will There is news."

That's it?

That's it? !

If you can solve the problem by just waiting, what do you need the Secret Ritual Tower and the hunter for?

Ryan frowned tightly, expressionless, but his facial muscles were slightly distorted, big words, empty words, ambiguous words, these are the tricks used by liars, he is very familiar with them!

Years of hard work made him so familiar with this rhetoric that he couldn't be more familiar with it.

He judged without hesitation that this was a complete liar!

But what surprised him was that Ji Zhixu looked like he was being educated humbly, nodded and said in a low voice: "Thank you for your teaching, I benefited a lot from the book last time, but this time the situation is unusual, I hope……"

"Huh..." Ryan tried to calm himself down, but the pride of being a mouse now seemed to be thrown on the ground and trampled on.

He is indeed old, otherwise how could he choose such a stupid master?

What, an inexperienced little girl?

Damn it, how could such an obvious liar not be spotted!

Lin Jie suddenly put down the teacup with a delicate expression, and said, "Sorry, wait a minute, I have some things to deal with, it will take about five minutes."

Hiss... It's really bad, waiting for the guests to read as usual, and drinking a little too much tea.

Just when it was time to go to the toilet, I chatted with this young lady.

Although it is not impossible to endure, it is not good for the body after all.

And it's not necessary, presumably the other party will forgive him for this kind of physiological needs.

Ji Zhixu froze for a moment, then nodded, and said obediently: "Okay, please go ahead."

Lin Jie stood up, walked towards the stairs on the second floor, and disappeared at the corner of the stairs under the watchful eyes of the two.

Ji Zhixu was about to ponder over what the bookstore owner said, when Ryan next to him suddenly leaned over, gritted his teeth and said, "Boss, what are you doing?!"

Ji Zhixu frowned, turned his head and said coldly: "I brought you here only because the information you have may be useful, not because I trust you or value you. What's the matter with your tone now?"

"Don't forget the brand on your neck. You are my retainer now, not a wild mouse running around everywhere. Maybe you need to learn some rules."

Ryan's face twisted in an instant: "He is a liar, an out-and-out liar! Yes, I don't know the rules, but I understand this, I understand it too well. Although his deception is superb, I can find out at least Three people on the same level as him!"

A fool who has been deceived into turning around, actually looks at him with such superior eyes, like looking at a mouse in the gutter...

Ji Zhixu's face darkened, and he scolded in a low voice: "Shut up! I shouldn't have brought you here. Sure enough, the eyes of humble and narrow-minded people only have humble and narrow-minded things. If you are still useful, I will kill you with one sword right now. about you!"

"I'm loyal to you, you'll know right away..."

Ryan slipped out the poisonous arrow quietly from behind, covered up the killing intent in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "I'll prove it to you when he comes down."

"Roar..."

Suddenly, a hiss sounded from the abyss in the bookstore.

Ryan and Ji Zhixu were taken aback for a moment, and turned their heads to look at the counter at the same time.

The pitch-black statue twisted and swelled at an extremely fast speed, flicked its long tail, and spread out its huge bat wings, like a huge shadow from hell, covering the figures of the two.

It roared silently with a big mouth, and the evil blood-red light in its eyes was blazing, staring at the person who showed killing intent—Ryan.

Then he flew over suddenly, grabbed Ryan's head with his claws, ignored his exhausted struggle and extremely disbelieving frightened expression, bit off his head and swallowed it, then ate his torso clean, and finally stretched out The long tongue licked clean the blood stains on the floor and the cabinet.

This process only took less than a minute, and Ryan couldn't even make a scream.

The gargoyle turns back into a statue.

"Thump, thump, thump."

When Lin Jie came down the stairs, he saw Ji Zhixu standing blankly in front of the counter, staring at the floor in a daze.

He said a little strangely: "Hey, your subordinate, what about others?"

Ji Zhixu came back to his senses suddenly, looked at Lin Jie with a pale face, and smiled with difficulty: "He...he is in a hurry."
