Chapter 339

"!"

Greg was taken aback when he heard the words, then he was shocked, and immediately became vigilant.

Here we come... These are the words and tricks commonly used by bookstore owners, as mentioned many times in the information.

By provoking a topic, it seems that you are talking about your troubles in a normal chat, playing the role of a good old man, but in fact it is luring you to relax your vigilance, weave traps step by step, and wait for the prey to fall into the net.

Then, in the process of gradually deepening, the rhythm of the conversation will be completely controlled by the other party, and your thinking will fall into the control of the other party unconsciously.

Your information is fully exposed, and your trust in the owner of the bookstore will also reach an unreasonable level, the kind that sells yourself and counts the money to the other party.

So far, all those who have entered the bookstore, or have had contact with the owner of the bookstore, as long as they do not show obvious hostility, basically they will eventually become fans of the demon in front of them.

It's as if someone's cognition has been tampered with... No, although they haven't monitored this process so far, they believe that this is actually some kind of mind control method used by the owner of the bookstore.

As for those who showed hostility... the grass on the grave should be three feet high now.

When Greg first heard this statement, he was very worried and nervous.

Because his idol Joseph is also one of these people.

But fortunately, Joseph has always maintained his rationality, and his evaluation of the owner of the bookstore is very objective, and he has a very clear understanding of the possible harm caused by the bookstore.

It's just out of kindness, and what the owner of the bookstore asked him to do was beneficial, so I kept helping him.

...at least, Greg himself thought so.

He attributed this to Master Joseph's personal will.

To be able to overcome the despicable methods of the evil bookstore owner with his own belief in justice, he really deserves to be Lord Joseph!

Although Joseph, who was in the trough period at that time, was defeated by this demon by force because of his inattention, Lord Joseph was Lord Joseph after all, and his invincible will that burned like a raging flame was his most worthy of following.

Therefore, as Joseph's trainee disciple, he, Greg, must not embarrass the teacher when faced with the same trick!

Greg took a deep breath silently, gave himself enough psychological construction, and told himself that he must not reveal too much information, and it should be fine to just say a few words about his troubles...

Then he said in a low voice: "I originally belonged to another department. In fact, I should be regarded as an outsider. I didn't come from the cultivation department of the Secret Ritual Tower. It was only later that Master Joseph valued me, so I joined the intelligence department."

"Before that, I could only be regarded as a part-time job in the Secret Ritual Tower, but for my current colleagues... it's more like I walked through the back door."

He couldn't help but hook his lips in a self-deprecating manner.

The bigger reason is actually that the fact that he paid for his idol with great fanfare was too high-profile. When others inquire about it, and then think of Joseph's acceptance of him as a disciple, they will show a clear expression.

As for his ability?

It doesn't really matter, whether he is strong or weak, anyway, he has done things that normal people seem to think are ridiculous and extravagant, and that's enough.

They could look at him strangely, and gossip behind his back... Although there was no malice, Greg would of course feel uncomfortable. This feeling was like being excluded.

Of course, Greg would not complain to others in the Tower of Secret Rituals, or tell his family members.

But the person in front of him is neither a colleague nor a relative, but an "enemy" who has only met once (in the form of a cat).

There will be no burden, no sense of shame, it seems... instead, it has become a perfect confidant?

But this kind of thing is too easy to become a handle, so he will never tell his dark history in front of this devil, so the degree of ambiguity is very good.

Lin Jie crossed his hands and propped his chin, thoughtful: "I see, are you feeling bored because of xenophobia and criticism... It is indeed a problem that cannot be ignored."

He took a sip of the tea he just made, narrowed his eyes and said, "I think you should be very repulsed to talk about this with others, because their words and deeds have hurt your self-esteem, so you don't even think about them. What will you do after thinking about it, anyway, even if they repent, the impact of what they do and what they say on you will not change in any way.”

"Since that's the case, why expect these people to give up their own ideas? Telling others about this matter will only make you look naive, am I right, classmate Greg?"

Greg was startled, and stammered: "You, how could you..."

"How do I know?"

Lin Jie showed a mysterious smile, I will tell you that I have seen countless teenagers like you, and the problems they often encounter are similar?

At this time, Greg said something nonsense for himself and secretly scolded himself for being stupid. The owner of the bookstore is known as "omniscient and omnipotent". Do you need to ask such a simple truth?

But... It is undeniable that this is indeed what he really thinks in his heart.

Lin Jie spread his hands, and continued: "A little bit of psychological knowledge, plus some simple tricks to use. If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Greg shook his head quickly: "No, no need!"

He secretly thought that he was very dangerous, and he was almost caught in a trap, but it didn't matter, he was still in a very sober state until now, and he would not take the bait at all.

Huh, the devil? As long as he is firm enough, he will not be controlled at all.

"Okay." Lin Jie withdrew his hand that wanted to take the book regretfully, and said instead, "How about you treat me like a 'tree hole'?"

Greg asked suspiciously, "A tree hole?"

"Just tell the tree hole what you can't tell others, such as troubles and secrets, it will neither respond nor spread, it doesn't even have its own thoughts, no worries, it just listens quietly. "

"Although I can't compare with the real tree hole, but you and I are half strangers, and I won't deliberately go to your colleagues to talk nonsense, telling me is tantamount to talking to the tree hole .”

"Sometimes, suppressing yourself for too long is a very uncomfortable thing."

Lin Jie showed his trademark friendly smile, and said with a smile, "What do you think?"

Although he said so, Lin Jie has quietly expanded "confide your troubles to me" to "confide your secrets to me"...

If you want to keep customers, you need not only good things, but also more flexibility.

Greg hesitated, looking at the gentle smile in front of him, he felt that this proposal coincided with his inner thoughts...

Yeah, just talking about insignificant things, not revealing the plan in the tower, it's okay, just talking.

Ah, no no no no, what is he thinking!

This is the beginning of being deceived by the devil, unbelievable! Be sure to hold on!

But if it is said, isn't it just right to win the trust of this devil, and then get the key point to break the current anxious battle, and prove his worth?

Greg struggled for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It might be easier to say it, but I also have a question and would like to know your thoughts."

Lin Jie raised his eyebrows: "My thoughts?"

"Yes." Greg nodded: "My teacher...Master Joseph, if you and Wilde are in a confrontation, who do you think-who has a better chance of winning?"
