Chapter 116

"It's getting late. If you have nothing else to do, go back early. It's quite dangerous for you to come out at night alone."

After negotiating things, Lin Jie was ready to close the door to see off the guests.

Of course, this is not an order to evict customers. If it was during the daytime, he would still be happy to chat with Miss Ji, after all, this is really a super-super big customer.

Even if she doesn't buy it herself, it's okay to introduce a few more friends, such as Miss Doris.

The problem is that it was already close to eight or nine o'clock when Vincent came before, and it was already ten o'clock after a chat. Ji Zhixu came again, and it was almost eleven o'clock now.

Usually, he closes the door early at eleven o'clock and goes to bed.

He put down his teacup and looked at the sky outside, and felt that he was lying with his eyes open. It wasn't early, it was almost late at night.

This young lady is really courageous. As a young woman who is beautiful enough, she dares to come to such a relatively remote neighborhood alone at night.

The law and order here has never been particularly good.

"In this case, I will go back first and wait for Mr. Ackerman's arrival."

Ji Zhixu nodded, although she is now a hunter close to the destruction level, enough to be called a "strong man", but those who come and go in this bookstore, and those who have various ideas about the bookstore, are all old forces. For her, there is indeed a great danger.

If it weren't for the fact that the original recipe was too important, she would definitely bring her cronies.

Ji Zhixu stood up and packed his things, closed the box again and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Lin Jie felt his sleeves being pulled, turned his head suspiciously, and saw Mo En's clear and bright eyes looking at him, and then turned to look at the box on the counter.

Straightforward...

Lin Jie immediately understood that the child had taken a fancy to the box.

It's beautiful and shiny. She couldn't help opening the box just now, probably because she really likes it.

Boss Lin was in a bit of a dilemma for a while, although most of the relics of the former scumbag would be destroyed and buried in cement together, but from the perspective of the box itself, the value should be quite high...

After deliberating for a while, he decided to give it a try, and said, "Wait, my assistant seems to like this box very much, I wonder if I can..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Zhixu only hesitated for a moment, and then put the box down again. He was very happy, even a little impatient, took out the contents, and then stretched out his hand and pushed it over.

"no problem."

"……Thank you."

Lin Jie didn't know how to feel, so he had to smile: "In this way, I don't have anything valuable to exchange, do you want anything from the bookstore?"

Ji Zhixu was taken aback for a moment, then ecstasy surged in his heart, suppressing his excitement, his eyes fell on various places in the bookstore.

Without the seal of the brass box, the breath of the original formula leaks out, which will inevitably attract some coveters. The Wolf of the Empty Court itself is a destructive level dream beast, and the filthy blood produced is of a very high level. It is also possible to come to the powerhouse of the destruction level.

She thinks this is the second test of her ability by the owner of the bookstore.

So even considering the danger, she still chose to hand over the box.

But maybe it was her decisiveness that attracted the favor of the owner of the bookstore, so she gave her the chance to reduce the difficulty... She must grasp it well!

And this time, Mr. Lin is talking about the things in the bookstore, that is to say, not only books, but also other things.

Although each of the books in the bookstore contains infinite mystery and power, they cannot improve her strength in a short period of time, and she has no way of judging how much the books can help her in her current situation.

Ji Zhixu's first thought was naturally the gargoyle, but the power of the gargoyle is only panic level, which means that she just has an extra assistant of the same level. For her now, her ability to help is limited.

She pondered for a moment, then turned her eyes to the red rose that she had been paying attention to just now but didn't dare to look at.

The roses on the counter were not seen when I came here before, and they should have been added during this period.

The delicate and charming rose, which had been maintaining a budding posture at the moment, seemed to notice her gaze, the petals trembled slightly, revealing an eyeball and looked at her, and the greedy malice flashed away.

Ji Zhixu's spine shivered, and he vaguely felt a strong threat to the soul.

But when the threat arose, she kept floating behind her quietly, and the "steel will" generated by her soul blocked her countless tentacles in front of her, immediately blocking that feeling.

This flower... feels so terrifying. With her current strength, she is absolutely unable to compete. She must rely entirely on the addition of "Iron Will" to barely stop it.

However, she could feel that the flower didn't really intend to do anything, it seemed that it was just trying to scare her as a prank.

But she thought about it again, isn't this the best help?

"call……"

Ji Zhixu pointed to the roses in the flowerpot on the counter: "I want your roses, can I?"

"...?"

Lin Jie was slightly taken aback.

Roses... There are books all over the room, and there are well-made gargoyles. I want his roses. What does that mean?

It really wasn't that he thought too much, from all aspects, this pot of roses was the lowest value in the bookstore, and the meaning of roses, from Earth to Azir, from ancient times to the present, has not changed.

But he said it himself. Ji Zhixu wanted roses, but she was at a loss. Of course, Lin Jie was kind, and even handed over the flowers and pots to the other party.

However, looking at the brisk back of the other party who closed the door and left, there was a joyful smile on the corner of his mouth.

Boss Lin folded his hands and propped his chin, looking at the empty counter, lost in thought, his smile gradually disappeared.

...

Central area, mechanical reincarnation.

Andrew stands in front of the part of Factory 01 that is being rebuilt.

After the Mirror's Egg incident, he used the emergency regulations to temporarily keep his position, but the price was that he was monitored, and he had to supervise the work here, looking for clues to the attackers, and was unable to participate in the decision-making of other matters.

In this attack, a total of three factories were destroyed on a large scale, 01, 07, and 13. 01 was a factory for experimenting with blood medicine, 07 was a factory for the mud tire project, and 13 was a storage warehouse.

What they have in common is that they are all explosions caused by detonating the Philosopher's Stone from within - only these three factories need to use the Philosopher's Stone recently, which makes it more convenient for the inner ghost.

The inner ghost must still be on the move, but they have drastically reduced his power and committed suicide without a doubt!

No, maybe the inner ghost is at the top...

He paced back and forth, looking coldly at the low-level scholars who were rebuilding.

The alchemy product next to his ear—a miniature long-distance communication headset—came a voice, which made him stop and his face changed.

"President, the people of the Zhizhi faction already know that this group of lunatics who take pleasure in plundering knowledge are very interested in bookstores..."

Andrew's face was extremely gloomy in an instant. He had already canceled this order some time ago!

Someone intercepted his canceled order!
