Chapter 390

This meeting can even be described as "breaking up on bad terms".

All the scholars who participated in the meeting felt that the atmosphere was going downhill, and it froze like a mountain rain was about to come.

No one dared to express their opinions on the almost provocative proposal of Maria, who has become a god, so Maria made a decision on this matter directly. In the following meeting, the scholars reported each other tremblingly, and left in a hurry after the dissolution. Go, for fear that I will become a sandwich between two gods.

Maria returned to her office where she had been away for a long time.

The quiet office seemed to have never been moved, and it was exactly the same as when she left, but there was no dust on the desktop, which showed that someone cleaned it regularly. Maria looked around and found that there was no trace of ether.

Of course, she wouldn't put confidential materials in such an obvious place as the office, but that didn't mean there wouldn't be such fools sneaking in.

Sitting on the chair, Maria thought about the dusty days of the past, reached out and opened Somayer's super long report, browsed through ten lines at a glance, and read the information about the bookstore owner over and over again, quickly Keep connecting the clues in your mind.

"Boom boom."

The expected knock on the door did not interrupt her train of thought.

"Come in."

While talking, Maria raised her eyes to look at the person coming, then closed the report, pushed her glasses, raised her frown, and showed a relaxed smile: "Who did I think... so it was my dear Little nephew, it's been a long time since I saw you."

The young man who walked in was naturally Maria's only nephew, Hood, the second-generation ancestor of the Truth Society who was known to everyone and used his privileges to misbehave every day.

Maria stood up and hugged the approaching Hood rather intimately.

With Maria's status, and the powerful strength of being promoted to the god level, she is still so approachable to Hood, which shows how much she loves Hood.

Hood also returned a warm hug, and said with some excitement: "Aunt Maria, welcome back!"

Maria reached out and touched his head, and said softly, "Did you study hard when I was away?"

"Hmph," Hood raised his head confidently and smiled, and then said with a serious face, "Auntie underestimated me too much, and now I am quite different from before."

"Really?" Maria seldom showed a sincere and warm smile: "I also heard that you are very insightful on many issues in the meeting now, and you have been recognized by many scholars, and there are a group of very good ones. partner?"

"Of course!" Hood raised his chin and said with affirmative eyes: "We are all like-minded friends!"

"Likewise..."

Maria's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had an inexplicably ominous premonition, but she still kept smiling: "Why are you like-minded and legal, how about telling aunt?"

"Of course, that's what I want to talk to Aunt Maria this time."

After Hood finished speaking in a relaxed tone, immediately, his eyes, which were originally full of respect and trust for his elders, gradually became fanatical and tinged with strange colors. His voice was low and his eyes were fixed on Mary. Ya, as pious as reciting a prayer: "We will always believe in the omniscient and omnipotent owner of the bookstore—Mr. Lin."

The smile froze on Maria's face.

The movement of her pushing the glasses was suspended in mid-air, as if she had suddenly turned into a statue.

She looked at the familiar relatives in front of her, but they were completely unfamiliar, and felt a chill rushing up from behind.

Maria was silent for a while, took a deep breath, and when she put her hand down, the expression on her face became extremely stern.

This expression is the one that terrified Hood since he was a child.

Whenever he got into trouble, Maria would always show this expression.

"I see you...you haven't grown up yet."

Maria said in a low voice: "There were outsiders here just now. I'm afraid there are many eyes and ears among those people. It's not convenient for me to talk about it. Now with you, my only nephew, I think it is necessary to make it clear."

"That Lin Jie, you can't be trusted..."

"You're talking nonsense!!!"

Hood was suddenly enraged, and directly slapped Maria's desk with a "slap". He spread his hands, his eyes were full of enthusiasm, and he gritted his teeth: "Boss Lin is our only..."

In the middle of Hood's speech, seeing Maria's calm but awe-inspiring face, he suddenly thought of how out of bounds his actions were.

Reason prevailed a little and told him that the person in front of him was his most respected elder.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Auntie."

Like a different person, he retracted his hands, stood still and began to be at a loss.

Maria stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, calm down, Hood, I can tell, you're just being controlled by that boss Lin, as long as..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hood's guilt-ridden expression turned ferocious in an instant, as if he had heard something ridiculous, he slapped Maria's hand away, and said with a sneer, "You don't understand at all! Ignorant people Boss Lin is here to save us! He gave us a new life, without him, how could we get rid of the quagmire of "knowledge only" and understand that only our own wisdom is the real power!"

Maria's wrist was hurt by Hood's bump, and when she heard these words, she looked at Hood suddenly with extremely sharp eyes, revealing a trace of God-level coercion.

Hood feared and loved Aunt Maria since he was a child, and Maria's serious expression was often accompanied by stormy criticism, which almost made him have a conditioned reflex.

He had just refuted Maria and was frightened by Maria's eyes. He quickly took two steps back, subconsciously held his head and said, "I'm sorry, aunt, I'm sorry, I mean, I mean, you shouldn't have said that— —His greatness cannot be questioned."

At the same time, his expression began to become uncontrollably ferocious, especially between the brows, between the frowning brows, it was constantly moving like hallucinations, as if something else was about to come out under the skin.

Maria looked at Hood with a painful expression, and suddenly froze for a moment, then suddenly recalled the people she saw in the lower city, if those things can be called human...

Based on her findings and what she has seen and heard over the past few months.

They are all the same as Hood's current situation. First, the brain's thinking began to mutate, and their cognition was completely changed. In the end, even their bodies became dark nutrients unconsciously, and their body and mind began to become not their own. , but part of that darkness.

Maria turned around slowly, not wanting to see Hood's ugly face that she couldn't even control herself, and said in a deep voice: "Look at your current appearance, Hood... If your growth is like this, I would rather you Stay in the past."

"I have to tell you, Lin Jie, the Boss Lin you are talking about is just a liar, he is not a god at all!"

There was a buzz in Hood's head.

Disrespect...disrespect...how can you be disrespectful to God? !

The third eye on Hood's forehead suddenly opened, and he pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, and rushed towards Maria——

Maria took a deep breath, and without even turning her head, she invoked her god-level power.

Hood was directly controlled silently, but Maria was still a step too slow, the dagger slipped and cut off a few strands of her long black hair, without any hesitation.

If she hadn't escaped at that time, as the most vulnerable body part of a god-level scholar, she would have suffered heavy injuries.

The sadness and anger that had existed briefly in Maria's eyes disappeared. Seeing that Hood was still about to rush over with a grim expression, she sighed, raised her hand and swiped lightly——

Hood let out a scream and fell to the ground.

Blood spattered, and Maria directly cut off one of Hood's arms.

All this happened in a short moment, as if some kind of thin-skinned tube was completely broken, and countless worm-like tentacles stretched out from the smooth cut surface, Hood's body seemed to be some kind of Nests for molluscs.

"This... what the hell is this thing?!"

Some pictures seen in the lower city flashed in Maria's mind.

The moment she saw these things, she actually felt a tinge of wanting to vomit for a long time.

This was the first time she felt this kind of situation after she became a god.

Hood moaned and wailed in pain on the ground, and Maria's eyes flashed unbearable, but this situation made her feel powerless.

"Hood, I won't give up on you, aunt will cure you."

Maria murmured, took out a tube of transparent potion from her sleeve, and stabbed it into Hood's neck quickly and accurately.

Hood was like a beast that had been sedated. It slowly subsided and lost consciousness, but the arm seemed to have its own consciousness and was still wriggling, and the eyes on his forehead were not closed, but tightly closed. stared at Maria.

Maria looked at the messy office and clenched her fists——

"Master of the bookstore, I want to see who you really are..."

"Dong dong." Another knock on the door disrupted Maria's thinking, and before she could say please come in, the other party opened the door unceremoniously.

The door was opened a crack, and Maria saw that familiar disgusted face appearing from the door.

"It seems that the situation is not good, my respected President Maria."

Andrew said enthusiastically, "Do you want me to help?"

Maria put aside the mask she used to pretend, and asked, "My nephew, did you let him contact the bookstore owner?"

"No, no, you've wronged me."

Andrew said with a smile, and then walked into the bright office: "Boss Lin who Hood contacted himself - this matter was before I was forgiven - was selected, which is something to be proud of, You should be happier."

Maria squinted her eyes, furious in her heart, but still got up calmly, suppressing Andrew with a god-level personality.

Andrew was trembling all over, gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Even if you are already at the god level...for that Boss Lin, you are just a slightly bigger ant. I advise you to give up, because you will never And don't even try to beat us because he wants us to win."

Maria put her hands into the pockets of her white coat, walked to the desk, and sneered, "Really?"

Then, she casually took out an old notebook from the drawer, and shook it in front of Andrew. Under the reflection of the lens, there was a pair of provocative eyes.

"You seem to be confident, but I heard that the owner of the bookstore also sheltered a certain smuggler for a notebook with similar content some time ago, and he must be interested in this. Tell me, will he support you or me when the time comes? "
