Chapter 68

As a professional, Caroline has extraordinary calmness and calmness, and her psychological quality and her own strength are outstanding even in the Secret Ritual Tower.

Otherwise, the elders would not choose to let her come into contact with a god level that has no clear information.

Before performing a task, there will definitely be sufficient preparations.

Before Caroline came to the bookstore, she carefully reviewed the integrated No. 113 I-level regional files that were reported back and forth.

Including the initial template provided by Joseph, as well as the information of other "bookstore customers" recorded in front of you.

There are also some scattered opinions and speculations left by various departments of the Secret Ritual Tower.

If she is not fully prepared, she will not come over to have a conversation with a god level.

She clearly knew that the owner of the bookstore had god-level power, and she also knew some general logic of his behavior.

First of all, he plays the role of an ordinary bookstore owner in this bookstore, and this bookstore will provide customers who enter the bookstore with three services including "borrowing books, buying books, and reading books".

However, judging from the current information and her personal experience this time, it seems that the owner of the bookstore actually prefers to do good things to help others and chat with people.

As long as you don't harbor evil thoughts towards him, or have some doubts or even disrespectful thoughts.

He won't make a move, or in other words, he won't make a move himself.

Therefore, Joseph, who had a bad attitude at the beginning, was just in a coma. Compared with other gods, the bookstore owner really deserves this "friendly" evaluation.

Secondly, he has almost omniscient power, which is known from the dialogue between Andrew, the vice president of the Truth Society, and Doris, the sage of the iris.

Personally certified by a strong man at the destruction level.

So it's best not to hide what's on your mind, and don't get away with thinking you can hide the past.

In the end, all the books in the bookstore were written with unusual power in forbidden language.

The power of these books may not be strong, nor can they be achieved overnight, but they must be carefully selected by the owner of the bookstore, and they can definitely solve your problems at that time.

This is a gift of his selfless generosity——

As for the fees charged, they are nothing compared to the value of the book, and presumably it is also a fun play of the bookstore owner.

When Caroline heard that Lin Jie asked her to stay and read the book, she was not surprised or surprised.

Instead, there is a kind of excitement and anticipation of "finally here".

She looked at the rows of bookshelves in the bookstore. The neatly arranged books seemed unreal under the dim light, as if shrouded in some kind of illusion.

But there is no doubt that a sense of mystery crept into Caroline's heart, which shocked her.

"Can I...can I see for myself?"

Caroline's soul seemed to be seized by a higher level of mystery, and she asked subconsciously.

After she finished speaking, she came to her senses, and looked at Lin Jie nervously, feeling bad, if the owner of the bookstore originally planned to recommend a book directly to her, wouldn't she offend him by doing so?

Lin Jie didn't care much, the recommendation book was just a recommendation, and it was their freedom for the guests to go shopping by themselves.

For example, the former office worker named Ackerman proposed to go shopping casually at the beginning, and he also respected the other party very much.

In a serious business, you never buy or sell by force, it is all persuaded by Xiaozhi with emotion and reason.

What's more, he has already seen the obvious heartbeat from the other party's expression and eyes. Obviously, it is very exhausting to go out to work in this terrible rainy day. He is definitely very happy to have a place where he can rest reasonably. of.

At this time, he has turned a market researcher who had no desire to buy into a potential customer, and no amount of words will actually have a more obvious effect.

After all, they already have missions, and it is difficult to evaluate the value of opening a store in such a large area, and the desire to buy books will not be so strong.

Just let her feel it.

Lin Jie smiled and adjusted the books on the bookshelf to novels and essays, and picked up the boiling electric kettle and poured a glass of water: "Of course, you can take a look at the books here and chat with me. It's part of your job too, isn't it?"

He pushed the cup over, hinting that it was okay to fish in the research process.

"Evaluate things like tasks, and don't rush for a while."

Caroline breathed a sigh of relief, took the cup handed over by the owner of the bookstore, looked at the rising white mist, and felt that he was indeed very friendly.

Obviously she did come for the purpose of evaluation, and the owner of the bookstore knew it clearly, but he was so tolerant and easy to her.

No wonder Joseph would choose to hand over the magic sword to him.

Not only has great strength, but also this indiscriminate kindness...

At this moment, she had already made up her mind. Seeing that the owner of the bookstore had read her book again, she hesitated for a moment, then stood up with a cup in her hand and walked towards the rows of bookshelves behind the counter.

Only when you get closer, you will find that this bookstore is not as narrow as the first impression.

There are thirteen rows of bookshelves behind the counter, and each row is more than five meters long. It is only because the light is dim and the arrangement is tight, and the floor is full of books, that the whole bookstore feels very cramped.

She walked slowly through the rows of bookshelves, her eyes wandering over the spines of the books.

"Book of the Dead", "Dream Quest for the Flower of the Secret Realm", "Chasing Shadows of the Past"...

The title of each book made her heart beat wildly.

This was information that no one had come across before, but even though she was excited in her heart, she still kept her composure on the surface. She just recorded the title of the book and didn't dare to take it down to read at will.

In the end, her eyes fixed on a book called "The Staring Eye".

This... should be a book about some kind of investigative skills, right?

It is her job to identify and assess the danger of a certain thing, a certain object, or a certain person. For her, this is a very important ability.

Caroline was not sure, she reached out and took the book down, took a deep breath, and slowly opened it.

Secretly and dimly, she felt horribly, as if a pair of eyes were staring at her from behind her.

But in front of her eyes, the taboo words that rushed to her face overwhelmed her reason.

...

"This, this book...is it okay?"

Lin Jie looked up at the book in Caroline's hand.

"Watching"... is also a very classic collection of emotional essays, but I never thought that such a very strong-looking Yujie OL would like this kind of delicate and sad type of book.

But her voice seemed to be trembling a little, and her complexion was also a little grim. It seems that she felt a little touched when she was reading a book?

It seems that people cannot be judged by their appearance, she seems to have a sensitive heart.

Lin Jie put the book into a bag, and said: "It's okay, alas, this kind of book is sometimes a bit uncomfortable, but it will pass soon."

Caroline forced a smile and said, "It's really... uncomfortable, and I should be able to get used to it soon, thank you."

...

Caroline walked out of the bookstore, turned on the communicator in the rain, and sent the results of this evaluation to the elders.

"call……"

She let out a long breath, touched her eye sockets with a pale face, and couldn't help shivering.

The feeling of being gouged out by countless sticky tentacles and replaced with a new one, she never wanted to try again in her life.

The new eyes are like living creatures wriggling. When she stares at something, she can see the countless information attached to it emerge and disappear.
