Chapter 312

"Hood...yes, that's him."

"In this way, it makes sense—Boss Lin does have the ability to make a second-generation student who was not so unusual suddenly become a university student."

"It's just that I didn't expect that according to the logic, he should have offended Boss Lin, but he was promoted anyway. It seems that he even received more gifts than ordinary bookstore customers..."

People like Ji Zhixu, who are obviously relatively early among the guests with written records, have just reached the peak from the early stage of the panic level. Not only is the progress slow, but they have not broken through the destruction level so far.

But this Hood directly jumped to a height unimaginable by ordinary scholars.

Judging from the analysis and research report of the logistics department in the tower, although Boss Lin didn't say anything, his help to customers is actually graded, depending on how much the customer pays.

For example, Joseph himself donated the magic sword to Boss Lin, and provided a series of help, so he got the chance to recover his strength and be promoted to the god level.

Another example is Vincent, the price he paid was more complicated. It can be said that he lost everything as a normal person, or he became a tool of Boss Lin, but each price was extremely heavy, so he directly became He reached the god level and took charge of a new religion.

Although Ji Zhixu came into contact with the bookstore earlier, he actually paid relatively less for it, so he didn't get much.

What price did Hood pay for him to have the ability he has now?

Joseph has no answer for the time being.

After thinking about it, he came back to his senses, stopped at the door and turned around, first rectified the team members he had brought, and emphasized again the assigned tasks, a series of preparations that needed to be made, and so on.

Then lead people to follow Andrew and Hood and go deep into the core area of ​​Nuojin.

Because of the Oswald incident last time, Claude was seriously injured and still recovering. He did not participate in this operation.

These should be Claude's work, but Joseph can only do it himself.

As long as he thought of this, and thought of his disciple's tragic situation at that time, the anger towards Wilde in Joseph's heart became more and more intense, but the higher it was, the more he suppressed it, until he beat that anger into a flaming sword.

But now, in the past few days, there is another different voice in his heart.

Wilde said at the time that the reason he wanted Oswald's soul was to restore the gargoyle that had been given to Boss Lin, whom he referred to as "Lord".

In other words... Boss Lin knew about Wilde's action, and it was very likely that he signaled it.

It is true that in subsequent investigations and Caroline's testimony, it was indeed proved that Oswald was actually the ghost who had been planted by the Road of Fire Sword for many years.

If everything is Boss Lin's idea, then judging from the results, it does seem to be very good for the Secret Ritual Tower.

But just starting from Joseph's own perception, the whole process was extremely uncomfortable.

Wilde seems to be following Boss Lin's wishes to help the Tower of Secret Rites, but in fact he is just reporting his own malice and taking revenge on Joseph!

If it were someone else, then only Oswald would need to be killed, and the matter would be over.

But no, the person appointed by the owner of the bookstore was Wilde, who had a grudge against Joseph.

He turned Oswald into a powerful monster, caused the Tower of Secrets to lose dozens of knights, and almost killed Joseph's only disciple directly. In the end, he proudly said that he was helping the Tower of Secrets, and then walked away go.

Joseph felt that he was suddenly sober.

He suddenly understood—how could God care about the opinions of insignificant people?

Perhaps in Boss Lin's view, the matter was resolved perfectly, but in Joseph's view, it was a symbol of chaos... It's just that it wasn't the evil of chaos, but pure chaos.

After seeing the rise of the Corpse Eater Cult, Joseph's thoughts became clearer.

Wilde called Boss Lin "Lord", so the evil sect he founded naturally believed in the bookstore owner named Lin Jie.

All the evil deeds of those believers, whether it is blood sacrifice or other atrocities, are actually acquiesced by the bookstore, and may even be promoted.

The Tower of Secret Rituals has heard a lot of rumors. The Corpse Eater called their Lord "the disseminator of the Gospel of Flesh", "the author of the Corpse Eater's Ritual"... everything matched the hermit in the bookstore .

So according to these statements, it is very likely that Boss Lin wrote the cruel teachings of the Corpse Eater Cult!

Then, Joseph couldn't help thinking, what should he think of Boss Lin?

The justice in his heart seemed to be about to tell him the answer, but due to some shaky reasons, he couldn't say it.

"Your Excellency Sheng Yan, do you know why I came here specifically for you?"

Avoiding many dangerous experimental areas, killing an unknown number of mutated dream beasts or unknown creatures, and walking to the door of an area locked by a seal and a thorn-like iron fence, Andrew suddenly asked.

Joseph glanced back, the knights he brought kept a distance from the two of them, but it was very easy to hear clearly.

Probably not to say something confidential.

He looked at Andrew and asked casually, "Why?"

Andrew said with a smile: "Because we are all customers of the bookstore. In a sense, we seem to be the best partners who have crossed the organization. Naturally, we must trust each other."

"..." Joseph didn't expect him to be so direct.

He looked forward, and Hood was opening those barriers: "Mechanical reincarnation is the most secret place of the Truth Society. In fact, even if outsiders can't understand it, it is absolutely impossible to show it to people from other organizations."

"I will find your Excellency. The previous reasons are all nonsense. There is only one real reason. The bookstore is a bridge of trust between us, allowing our thoughts to communicate with each other."

"But when I actually saw Your Excellency, I realized that I might have thought a little bit wrong. Although I can still entrust my trust, I can't be unreserved."

Joseph's pupils shrank, and he said, "Why?"

"Although we are all guests who have entered the bookstore, me, you, Hood, or even... Wilde, we are all guests, but you are different."

Andrew looked back at him with deep eyes, and whispered: "You are not pure."

"Open! Here is..."

Ahead, Hood suddenly raised his volume, then stopped abruptly.

Everyone looked there, and they were all shocked by what they saw.

The bright light swept over everything, making people involuntarily cover or close their eyes.

This is a huge, complex building structure like a honeycomb. It is extremely high and wide, and the top is covered with dazzling white light balls. The metal frame and gear tracks combine all platforms and rooms, and all of them are people.

A large number of people walking, working, and wearing white coats... people who look exactly the same, with cold and numb expressions!
