Chapter 388

"Hi, Boss Lin." Joseph tried his best to smile to make himself less embarrassed.

Lin Jie looked bewildered, and then said in surprise: "Your injury is really serious...It's much more serious than I imagined."

Although he already knew that Joseph was on a mission at the Tower of Secret Rituals, Lin Jie still didn't expect that the mission would be so dangerous that it would cause Joseph to be seriously injured like this.

Joseph smiled wryly... Sure enough, Boss Lin was disappointed. Boss Lin predicted my failure, but he didn't expect me to fail to such an extent.

"Is it the mission of the Secret Ritual Tower? It has come to this point?" Boss Lin restrained his surprise, took off his umbrella and coat and handed them to Mo En. Mo En took the clothes and hung them in the room, then retreated to the dark place middle.

Xiaobai seemed to have not seen Lin Jie for a long time, so he hurried up to rub Lin Jie, and Lin Jie gently touched its head.

The mission of the Tower of Secret Rituals... Joseph sighed in his heart. From a certain point of view, the mission of the Tower of Secret Rituals really made him fall into such a state.

Joseph sighed, although Lin Jie had already raised a point, but he was still not used to putting resentment on the secret ceremony tower, so he said: "It was Wilde, I fought a battle with him, and my injuries are all thanks to him."

Lin Jie frowned, and this completely verified what he had been thinking all along... Wilde really went on the wrong path.

Lin Jie couldn't help sighing, he didn't know what was going on with Wilde now, he might have to pour a few bowls of chicken soup on him to get him back to the right path, and all of a sudden he was burdened with more heavy responsibilities.

But with the image of a widowed and lonely old man like Wilde, how can he beat a strong man like Joseph... Oh yes, Wilde also raised a dog, hiss, could it be that Wilde let the dog kill him...

He looked at Joseph with more sympathy.

Facing such gazes, Joseph lowered his head in shame, as if he was a student who did something wrong.

"Since you're all here, let's recuperate here." Lin Jie said generously, then turned to Mo En, and said, "Let's tidy up the basement together, you can't stay in the bookstore all the time, it's not good to rest here .”

Mo En hesitated for a while, thinking about the situation in the basement, but immediately nodded and said, "Okay, Boss Lin."

Lin Jie pushed open the door of the basement. There was nothing in the basement except for some sundries and the ancient dragon fossils given by Qi Li before, and it was tidy by Moen.

Moen pushed Joseph into the slightly dark basement, and the moment he stepped in, Joseph froze all over his body.

He subconsciously looked at Mo En, who was expressionless, and Lin Jie, who was looking at the basement with his hands on his hips. Both of them looked natural, as if they were facing an ordinary room.

But as soon as he stepped in, Joseph felt the vast ocean-like traces of ether, which were almost everywhere, and this was just a trace of ether. It was hard to imagine how powerful ether was once filled here...

Joseph trembled all over, such a powerful ether seemed to suffocate him.

Moen supported Joseph and let him sit on the chair.

The world that Joseph, who has already stepped into the god level, can perceive is very different. He can recall in his mind that there used to be scattered ethers here, and those massive ethers could easily kill him.

Joseph didn't dare to move around, sat slowly on the chair, and then accidentally bumped into the table next to the chair.

hiss--

There was a chill in his heart, and the moment he touched the table again, Joseph seemed to hear the roar of the ancient dragon full of disaster aura, which seemed to be full of unwillingness and anger in the vastness, and his anger was accompanied by a powerful hurricane. own face...

Joseph opened his eyes wide... This small basement seemed to have once trapped a dragon.

If it's just an ordinary person, I'm afraid they have been driven crazy by the powerful mystery...

Joseph panted slightly, steadied himself, once again faced the strength of the bookstore owner so truly, the more frightened he was, the more he let himself clearly feel that he was just an ant in his hand, crushed to death at any time, the more he threw him down His charity is as sweet as sugar.

Lin Jie blinked, seeing Joseph's face turned pale in doubt, and then quickened his hand movements, propping up the old unused bed, and asked:

"Then what's your situation now? Of course, you can stay here as long as you want, but don't you need to go back and report? After all, this is the mission of the Secret Ritual Tower..."

Joseph lowered his head and didn't speak for a long while, unable to see his thoughts. Every time Lin Jie mentioned the Tower of Secret Rites, his heart seemed to be baked repeatedly on the cutting board.

Lin Jie had no choice but to see that Joseph did not speak, and asked seriously: "Since it is the task of the Secret Ritual Tower, there should be five insurances and one housing fund, work-related injury reimbursement or something?"

Normal companies have this kind of thing, and the Secret Ritual Tower looks like a national organization. This kind of thing should be more complete, isn't Joseph so honest that he doesn't even ask about this kind of thing? Didn't even sign the contract?

"Ah?" Joseph seemed to have never heard any term, and then subconsciously replied, "No, no."

Lin Jie straightened up in wonder, and muttered, "What kind of black-hearted enterprise is this? It's really inhumane. You've been cheated..."

Upon hearing this, Joseph's eyes flashed a light, and then he felt sad, and raised his head to look at Lin Jie's tall back... Did he really want to tell me the true face of the Secret Ritual Tower?

And it's still so direct, maybe my indecision over and over again has made Boss Lin lose his patience.

"You're right, I woke up too late."

"It's not too late now." Lin Jie turned to look at him, and said with a smile, "Now I understand that they are just a company that eats people, so don't go there anymore."

"Yes, yes, I understand." Joseph replied hastily.

Lin Jie pulled out the big bed that had been tidied up with all his might, then, afraid of the ashes on his hands, he continued, "Do you have any plans for the future?"

Facing Lin Jie's question directly, Joseph was a little impatient. In fact, he was also very confused and wanted to get an answer from Lin Jie, but Lin Jie obviously wanted him to face this question directly, and even said that this question might be Boss Lin's test of himself.

"...I still need to think about it." Joseph said, and then naturally thought of Melissa, the person I care about most in this world, "Maybe this is the opportunity, I want Melissa to be completely independent. The fact that I'm still alive may be Melissa's biggest obstacle."

If the Secret Ritual Tower knew that she was still alive, maybe Melissa would still be implicated... Joseph lightly clenched his fists and gradually fell silent.

Lin Jie blinked, completely unaware of what Joseph was talking about.

No, would someone really use their own suspended animation to let their children grow up?

Lin Jie couldn't keep up with Joseph's brain circuit anymore, but the father and daughter seemed to be very awkward all the time, and it was really difficult for him to interfere with other people's way of life, so he nodded.

What an awkward pair of father and daughter...

Seeing Lin Jie nodding, Joseph felt moved.

It seems that I did not answer wrongly. I answered the answer that Boss Lin wanted correctly, but I also verified it from the side. If the Secret Ritual Tower knew that I was still alive, maybe it would really use me to control Melissa...

If everything before was still speculation, now Lin Jie's affirmation undoubtedly made him completely disheartened.

The Secret Ritual Tower...why did you push me to this point?

"You can rest here with peace of mind." Lin Jie hesitated and said, then waved to Mo En, the goddess of the night followed him humbly and obediently.

click.

The door was gently closed, only the remaining light was taken away, and Joseph was completely plunged into darkness.
