Chapter 271

Andrew called the ruby... Jerome.

Ji Zhixu froze for a moment, then suddenly felt his scalp tingling, and then a chill began to surge up from his back, and his whole body tensed up instinctively.

She looked at the ruby ​​in Boss Lin's hand, and her whole heart seemed to be clenched by fear, making it difficult to beat.

As if the fog was cleared, some details that I hadn't noticed just now suddenly became very clear.

That red gem is actually an extremely pure sage's stone, and what is contained inside is an extremely huge ether energy, but because it is too fresh, there is still a trace of bloody breath from life.

Then a more terrifying cognition leaped to my mind——

This Philosopher's Stone is Jerome!

Ji Zhixu turned his head to look at his father with difficulty. The latter's face was pale, and he didn't dare to wipe off the cold sweat. He looked back very stiffly, and his eyes clearly expressed fear and helplessness.

Although he is just an ordinary person, he understands the world of extraordinary people far better than ordinary extraordinary people, and he is not a fool. Of course, he immediately understood what the owner of the bookstore meant.

Although he said "it doesn't matter what the price is or what it is", but he turned his head and casually pointed out that the gemstone he was playing with was actually a human life...

It is obviously saying, if you can't satisfy me, then what will be the price you will pay, and the living example is before your eyes.

"It's an extremely terrifying existence. It's not only a powerful force, but also an invisible power created by words..."

In a trance, Ji Bonong even had the feeling that when he was young, he saw the people who really controlled Nuo Jin in the Central District.

This is a different experience than when facing a high-ranking transcendent.

He has come into contact with a lot of extraordinary people, and most of them will directly release their force field as an extraordinary person as soon as they meet, and use the most direct power to shock them mortals.

The law of the jungle preys on the strong, and instinctive trembling and fear will directly destroy people's reason and dignity. This is a very efficient way to make mortals surrender.

But there has never been one like the one in front of you. There is no aura of a transcendent in your body, but every word is like a devil whispering, like tentacles that penetrate every corner, tightly grasping every inch of your psychological activities, making people frightened to suffocation.

Just a few words of dialogue can break your defenses.

After the terrible fact was exposed, Ji Bonong looked at the red gem in horror, as if he saw the twisted corpse without skin wriggling in it.

Its internal organs and bones were forced to curl up in it, struggling to twist into a fleshy appearance, and let out a silent and terrifying cry towards the outside world...

Ji Zhixu turned his head calmly, feeling that his father had probably lost his mind a little, and his whole body suddenly became muddled, as if he had lost his soul.

This is the real warning!

The protection ability of the ring of the hermit loses its effect at a higher level of mystery.

Don't act rashly now, if they can go out safely, Ji Bonong will definitely be fine.

She twitched the corners of her mouth and gave a stiff smile: "It's funny, it's funny, how can a person become a gem, it's such a funny joke..."

"You think so too, right?" Lin Jie sighed, "But this Jerome really deserved what he deserved."

For a monopoly group as big as the Luoer Resources Group, the news must be better than that of a small bookstore owner like him.

A deputy director of such an important scholar organization as the Truth Society has died. Probably as soon as something happens, those various organizations and institutions will immediately get information.

Judging from Ji Zhixu's reaction and answer just now, this is indeed the case.

It doesn't take much effort to explain.

So Lin Jie just took the mentality of sharing gossip, and after removing some extraordinary factors from the previous exchange between Andrew and him, he told Ji Zhixu again.

Emphatically, I also criticized the actions of a scum like Jerome, and by the way expressed deep sympathy for the little girl Prima who was working in the book cafe next door.

He brought up his previous evaluation of Andrew's sense of humor, and asked with a smile: "Do you also think that he is very humorous, and even said that this gem is Jerome who came to return to me? In fact, I just asked him to bring Jerome here to discuss how to pay for my door..."

"Pay... the door?"

Ji Zhixu froze for a moment, then turned to look at the wooden door of the bookstore.

It still looks barely intact, but it does show traces of repairs.

Lin Jie felt very angry when he thought about it, and explained: "The door has already been repaired by Moen, but because of Jerome, there was such a big hole in the door."

He gestured about how big it was, full of resentment: "It's such a big one, how much money will it cost to make it up, do you think he should pay for it?"

Ji Zhixu nodded: "Yes."

It turns out that Jerome offended Boss Lin in this way, and he really deserved it...

Lin Jie sighed: "But people are already dead, so I can only mend it myself—ah, sorry, let you listen to me talk about such a bunch of useless things, what request did you just say? "

Ji Zhixu's expression froze, and he cheered up, finally it was the most critical time.

It seems that Boss Lin is quite satisfied with their previous performance, otherwise he would not have asked this question.

She took a deep breath and said solemnly: "On behalf of Luoer Resources Development Group, I want to obtain authorization from you to become an agent of your bookstore, and to promote and sell books for you within the scope of your permission."

Lin Jie was stunned for a moment, he vaguely remembered that Ji Zhixu had asked tentatively when he visited before, but at that time she could not represent Luo Er's resources, so he didn't go deep into the chat.

It must be a good thing to let Rohr Resources sell books as an agent.

He has been worrying about the lack of customers, which can be solved immediately, and maybe he will never be short of money again.

But at the same time, it is also less fun for him, because what he likes to do the most is to chat with these strange customers in the name of selling books, pour them chicken soup, and help them solve some life problems.

And one factor must be taken into consideration——

Not all the books on his shelves are for sale.

Because of the huge cultural and geographical differences between the two worlds, some content may not be understood by residents here, which will definitely cause some problems at that time.

If you want to solve it, Lin Jie will have to check it, manually screen it, and then pick out some of the books to sell.

This is a very troublesome thing.

Lin Jie was hesitating and thinking, but suddenly saw the shadow inside the half-opened suitcase lid in front of him, and suddenly "lived" over, extending downward into an indeterminate shape, as if a hand covered the golden apple inside the box.

Blackie!

Lin Jie blinked, and an intuition told him that this was Xiao Hei whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
