Chapter 135

Lin Jie waited outside the door for a while, and finally the door slowly opened.

The old Wang, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, was wearing a loose black robe with complex golden patterns and trimmings, and did not wear his iconic mask, revealing the old face covered with hideous scars, right at the door Then he showed him a respectful and enthusiastic smile.

This is not the first time that Lin Jie has seen Wilde's true face. In fact, when they first met, Wilde was in a downcast posture without a mask.

However, Lin Jie did not judge people by their appearance, and still chose to indoctrinate Lao Wang at that time with chicken soup, and warmly recommended the first book "Resurrection" to him.

Wilde opened the door more, made a gesture of invitation, and said cautiously: "Boss Lin, why are you here?"

"I want to talk to you about something, but you haven't come to me to borrow books recently. I just hired a new assistant to help me look after the store. If I have some free time, I will come by myself."

Lin Jie smiled and walked into the door.

"I took the liberty to visit, shouldn't I bother you?"

Wilde waved his hand quickly: "No, no, it's my honor for you to come here in person."

Lin Jie smiled and said, "That's good. To be honest, you live really far away. I almost thought I would have to take a bus for three or four hours."

Wilde closed the door. Hearing this, he couldn't help thinking, I clearly saw you appearing directly at the door of my house without any movement.

He laughed twice and explained: "You know, I need a more secluded environment."

Lin Jie deeply agrees: "I understand that if there is no good environment to do these research work, it will indeed be more troublesome. I have a deep understanding of this."

Thinking of the remote location of the bookstore, Wilde nodded thoughtfully.

Lin Jie chatted with Wilde in this way, but his eyes were involuntarily attracted by the old man's clothes.

The robe looked mysterious and simple, like some kind of mage robe, the kind that most people would never wear out.

Hmm... Could this be Lao Wang's home pajamas?

Haha, this old man is already old, but he still has a heart of a middle school student, but men are still teenagers until they die, Lin Jie deeply understands.

Wilde suddenly felt Boss Lin's gaze passing over his robe representing the disciple of the "Dark Emperor" Augustus faction, and then cast him a meaningful and friendly gaze.

Lin Jie was afraid that his eyes would be mistaken for prejudice, so he praised frankly: "The taste in clothes is really good, Lao Wang."

Wilde's heart skipped a beat. Could this sentence imply that his teacher was good, and he chose the right one? !

A bold guess once again surfaced in my mind.

Boss Lin, he really knew the teacher!

Wilde thought of the book "Death of the Void", which seemed to describe a magical and bizarre world, connecting the rules of life and death, which made it difficult for him to understand.

At that time, the owner of the bookstore once said that this book was written by a giant.

But... Augustus is the descendant of giants who have survived since the first era. Apart from him, there are no other giants in this world anymore.

Therefore, either the book has survived from the First Epoch to the present, or it was written by Augustus, maybe it's like... It's like Wilde gave his most proud masterpiece of creation to the owner of the bookstore, Augustus also presented Lin Jie with his favorite work.

No matter what it is, the mystery of the owner of the bookstore seems to be deeper, like layers of fog, and it is impossible to see what is the answer behind the mystery.

Maybe... maybe it's a real god.

Wilde felt parched from his guess, full of shock in his chest, and after guiding Lin Jie to sit down, he poured a glass of water for both him and himself, took a few sips to calm down.

He put down the cup, decided to express his position, and said cautiously: "Thank you for your compliment, I think so too, this dress has a very special meaning to me, it represents the most important period in my life Times, no matter what, I will never forget."

Lin Jie nodded, so that's the case. I have kept it since I was young, just to commemorate my two years in middle school.

What a nostalgic Lao Wang, alas, no wonder he was deceived by his own children at that time.

I believe that such a person will not help the evildoers.

If he really came into contact with the "Blood Feast" organization, it must have been forced, or he had other plans.

From Lin Jie's current perspective, Lao Wang's demeanor is more like the latter.

Wilde carefully observed Lin Jie's expression, and saw that his complexion seemed to soften a little bit, with a hint of approval, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Did you come to me because of my own decision?"

Lin Jie leaned forward slightly, folded his hands on his knees habitually, and said seriously: "That's right, you have something to do with the 'Blood Feast' again, right? Did you forget how I persuaded you? "

Wilde said solemnly: "Actually, I want to take advantage of their gathering to develop them into customers of the bookstore, your believers."

"?"

"Wait."

Lin Jie stretched out his hand and couldn't help but said, "My believer?"

Wilde realized that he had made a slip of the tongue. The owner of the bookstore never said that he needed believers. He always only recommended books to customers, guiding them out of the past and regaining their lives.

What really made him understand Lin Jie's intentions was the previous "Corpse Eating Rituals", because of the various sacrificial rituals described in this book.

The so-called sacrifice must have an object of sacrifice, and the way described in the book is so cruel and tyrannical, if the object of sacrifice is a god, then it must be an evil god.

As for Boss Lin who wrote this book, there is no doubt that he is a priest.

But in fact, the guess in Wilde's mind is that the two are one... That's why he accidentally said it now.

"Ahem, I mean... believers in books."

Wilde covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and then said with firm eyes: "I have been helped by you all this time, after thinking about it, a mere gargoyle is not enough to repay, but everything materially seems so insignificant.

"So, I decided to practice your ideas, let these people who have gone astray find the true meaning of life, and let them also listen to your teachings!"

"..."

Lin Jie's eyes were complicated, and he didn't expect that Lao Wang rejoined the "Blood Banquet" for this reason.

No, no, no, this cannot be called "joining", it is "infiltrating" and preparing to instigate a rebellion and disintegrate this group!

This, this is really enlightening!

Boss Lin was very moved, and felt that the chicken soup he had spent in the past two years had not been in vain.

But this matter was indeed too dangerous for a person of Lao Wang's age, so he decided to persuade him again.

Lin Jie earnestly said: "Old Wang, it's great that you have this kind of heart, but..."

His gaze was fixed, over Old Wang's shoulder, and landed behind the room partition wall.

A pool of dark red blood was flowing on the floor...

"But what is that?"
