Chapter 112

"Is this what he left behind?"

Lin Jie looked at the brass box in front of him.

This is a cube with a length, width, and height of about 20 centimeters. It is very important to start with, and each surface is painted with complex and mysterious lines.

A square is recessed in the top surface, and a section is sunken downward. The eight corners are inlaid with rubies about the size of the fingernail of a little finger, forming a vague whole and "locking" the box.

There is no doubt that it is very delicate, with a strange and exotic style, and it looks very precious, which is very suitable for Ji Zhixu's status as a "rich man".

Sure enough, the person who can "scum" such a young lady will not be an idle person...

If, as Lin Jie guessed, the box contained tokens of love, or photos that the scumbag deliberately left behind as a threat, then this box was equivalent to a safe.

Making the safe like a treasure chest, this guy is also quite stinky.

Lin Jie had a subtle disgust on his face.

Ji Zhixu saw Lin Jie's face looking at the box, and when he found a trace of disgust in his eyes, he felt uneasy in his heart, and his hands holding the cane tightened.

Worse, could it be that the seal on the box was too simple, then wouldn't her behavior of looking for the owner of the bookstore seem a bit overkill, looking for trouble for nothing?

She didn't know anything about the runes of the white wizards, but since Herlis locked the original formula of the "filthy blood" of the Wolf of the Empty Court in this box, it showed that he believed in the safety of the box.

This is the foundation of a hunter organization!

The man who once single-handedly made the "White Wolf" one of the most well-known hunter organizations in Nuojin, is absolutely unambiguous about this.

Although in the past month, he was tempted by the egg of the magic mirror, his mind gradually deteriorated, he lost his mind, and finally became a crazy and blind martyr.

But in fact, before that, Herris was a wise and calm person who was absolutely calm, calm, and good at planning.

Ji Zhixu's time in White Wolf is not short. If she was dissatisfied with this organization, she would not have joined here at the beginning - because of Ji Bonong's support, she has enough other options.

Herries was once a consummate leader, schemer.

This can still be seen when he was only affected by the Magic Mirror Egg for a week - he used the death of Kaji to get away, and turned to the Red Cult as a shield, and planned to use Charles' body to assassinate Wilde .

Ji Zhixu got some clues in that last underground stronghold, enough for her to piece together a rough truth.

Herris did these three things secretly and quickly, except for the third thing that was suddenly noticed for some reason, which led to the rapid demise of the subsequent Red Sect...

Of course Ji Zhixu knew there might be something hidden in it. After all, Wilde was a customer called "Lao Wang" by the owner of the bookstore.

But as the influence of the Egg of the Magic Mirror deepened, he was gradually swallowed by the animal nature in the filthy blood, and he no longer had the ability to think. The subsequent madness and defeat seemed to be doomed.

In short, Herries never forgot to bring the formula when he was the craziest, which shows that he attaches great importance to the formula.

For a cautious and confident person who attaches so much importance to the formula, the rune seal on this box is definitely not simple.

Ji Zhixu thought about it, maybe it was not easy for them, but not necessarily for the owner of the bookstore...

She quickly bowed her head and said: "Well, this is his relic. It may be insignificant to you, but it is a very crucial step for me. I beg you to do me this favor. I will repay with all my things you."

relic...

Lin Jie secretly twitched the corner of his mouth, forget it, the grievances and grievances of these rich people are probably always related to the cement pillars full of corpses.

A person who dared to deceive the eldest lady of a giant monopoly company probably already thought about what would happen to him.

He was able to struggle for a few rounds, to be honest, it was already very remarkable.

I hope he has sincerely repented when he left.

"Everything is unnecessary... This box is quite interesting, and I don't need your so-called repayment."

Lin Jie smiled and said, "I guided you at the beginning, just because you needed guidance."

This sentence is indeed true. At the beginning, when Ji Zhixu didn't reveal his name, he still solved the other party's problems.

"I made a slip of the tongue, sorry." Ji Zhixu nodded in shame, with a slight blush on his fair face.

In fact, as soon as she said this, she regretted it. Isn't everything she has now given by Mr. Lin? Speaking of repaying, it would be too ignorant, she should have given everything.

"There's nothing to apologize for, just remember to read the book often."

Lin Jie shook his head dumbly, and entered the process of conversation therapy again, thinking it would be better to have a chat with the other party first, so he put the box aside for the time being, signaling Mo En to take care of it.

However, he was rather surprised why the eldest lady asked him to unlock the lock.

Hmm... On the one hand, it's the other party's trust in him, and on the other hand, it seems to show that the other party doesn't have many people they can trust.

By the way, Lin Jie thought about it, and then remembered that Ji Zhixu's subordinate who ran away in the middle of his speech last time, that guy seemed to be going back to report the young lady's rebellious behavior.

Even the subordinates dared to go back and make small reports in person. This eldest lady was far from the freedom she imagined. She still lived in the shade and shadow of her father.

In this case, there is indeed a great lack of trustworthy people.

She should have a deep conflict with her family now, otherwise she would never meet a scumbag, especially Ji Bonong. I don't know if Ji Bonong talked to her last time.

Lin Jie thought for a while, and then simply asked, "Has your father talked to you?"

Ji Zhixu's eyes widened, as expected of Mr. Lin, he even knew this.

She nodded: "he just came to me some time ago, but he obviously still treats me as a child, but I have grown up."

Lin Jie could hear the pride in her tone, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have successfully persuaded him, congratulations."

Ji Zhixu said: "Yes, I have successfully persuaded him to stand on my side. He said that he would find time to come and talk to you in person, about more sales channels for books in bookstores... Please forgive me for my pretense. advocated, made some suggestions to him, otherwise he would not let me proceed."

Lin Jie blinked, wait, miss, what did you talk about with your father?

This is like a small retail and wholesale shop that is suddenly told that "you have been spotted by the richest man and he wants to cooperate with you", which is outrageous.

Although it is not necessarily a bad thing, but it must be a troublesome thing... There is no real room for cooperation, at most cheating... Oh no, a little investment or something.

However, after all, it was Missy's wish, Lin Jie nodded: "Okay, I understand."

That being said, he looked helplessly at Ji Zhixu, shook his head, and sighed: "You need to cultivate someone you can trust, you can't always come to me for such things."

Ji Zhixu always felt that the owner of the bookstore looked at him like a child who hadn't grown up, doing something unreliable.

She opened her mouth, could it be that the opening of this box is really that simple...

Although she could indeed find the wizard supported by her family to open the box, since the last time "Rat" Ryan died, she found that the brand of loyalty of this underground intelligence controller had been contacted, and she began to suspect that there was a trafficker among the white wizards. A traitor to the Unbrand method.

In desperation, I chose to come to the bookstore...

"Crack."

The two of them suddenly heard the sound of the box turning at the same time, turned their heads at the same time, and saw Mo En holding the box in his hand, and his hand was in the middle of the box.

The entire box was divided into four parts, opened like petals, with the upper four corners as the vertices of the "petals", split outward about thirty degrees.

And in the center, what Moen is "twisting" in his hand is the sunken part at the top of the box, which has now become a "lid" and Moen picked it up.

The girl was expressionless, with some surprise in her eyes. She looked at the two of them and put the cover back in embarrassment: "Well, I accidentally opened it."
