Maria's eyes were still calm and proud, and she didn't seem to feel that she was at a disadvantage.

Andrew's current strength is still far from the god level. Under Maria's suppression, he is actually full of a sense of crisis, but he looks at Maria's blue eyes without any fear, and even suddenly laughs— —

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Andrew leaned back slightly.

Maria's face suddenly turned cold, and she remained silent with a stern face, as if she couldn't understand Andrew's smile.

"Oh, why are you so nervous, President Maria."

Andrew raised his hand and spread it out, maintaining a smile: "If the notebook in your hand is what Boss Lin wants, and Boss Lin supports you as a reward for you to get the notebook, then of course I have nothing to say. "

"After all, the talents and talents you have shown and the gifts you have presented to Boss Lin are indeed beyond my reach." Andrew performed a noble courtesy to Maria: "As long as Boss Lin is happy and feels that you It should be, then to me, you are the well-deserved president of the Truth Society, and I will be your pawn."

Maria sneered and said, "Then, what you think is that the position of president of the Truth Society is justified only with the approval of the owner of the bookstore? Why! Sure enough, you have been completely brainwashed by that guy..."

Andrew's smile was fanatical and weird: "Why? Just because the Lord's greatness is incomparable."

"Crazy." Maria cursed in a low voice, giving such an evaluation.

Andrew seemed very satisfied with Maria's evaluation, and didn't refute it. He even nodded and continued, "But it's a pity..."

"What a pity?"

Maria took advantage of the situation and asked. She knew that Andrew was completely unable to use normal words to persuade him. If he wanted to get more information, he could only see how much the other party was willing to say.

"It's a pity that you don't believe in Mr. Lin at all..."

Andrew whispered: "You don't even want to use this notebook to ask for anything, or expect to get benefits from Mr. Lin, but have another purpose."

"But Boss Lin is a great and benevolent existence. As long as you pray to him, you will get a response and gain strength, even for a person like you who has no faith." Andrew said, "So, it's so unfair."

"Do you think it's fairer for such injustice...I should be allowed to offer sacrifices to Boss Lin."

Andrew put his hands on his chest and said, "Please hand me this notebook."

As expected, Maria thought so. She looked at Andrew with a blank expression on her face. The gaze from the god level made Andrew's hair stand on end, but his posture and expression did not change in the slightest.

After a long time, she said, "You are dreaming."

Andrew narrowed his eyes: "Since you know that Boss Lin is studying this note, aren't you afraid that I will snatch it and kill you?"

Of course, it wasn't him who did it, but Raziel.

"Ha." Maria's long black hair hung down behind her, she looked at Andrew with cold eyes, and sneered: "You can try it, Raziel has already tried it, hasn't she? If he succeeds I won't be coming up from downtown either."

Andrew was silent for a moment. Although he had already prayed for great strength from the bookstore owner, it was still difficult to deal with this woman.

But now Andrew can be sure that although Maria has reached the god level, she has not yet mastered the almost heaven-defying domain like Wilde and Joseph.

Otherwise, at such a close distance, facing this level of provocation, she would definitely not just fight back with words.

"My respected President Maria, I can't understand what you are talking about at all. The collapse of the mechanical reincarnation is just an accident."

Andrew pulled out a smile. Although he didn't know what made Maria feel safe, the things about the devices in the mechanical reincarnation must not be exposed.

"Since you've said you're going to vote in three months, let's wait three months."

After Andrew finished speaking, he picked up Hood from the ground.

Hood, who passed out of a coma, completely lost consciousness, but his right hand is still covered with countless slippery tentacles. They are like mollusk creatures without five senses, lurking in Hood's body, and now they have finally gained control of this body.

"Okay, Hood." Andrew patted those restless tentacles, and the tentacles began to slowly quiet down, and a new arm gradually grew out. Except for the torn clothes, his arm seemed to have never been disconnected. Pass.

Maria silently watched how Andrew treated her "nephew". She secretly clenched her fists without saying a word. Although she really wanted to take back her only relative directly, she was even more afraid that when Hood woke up, it would be another stranger. .

"Farewell, President Maria."

Andrew took Hood away from her office.

Maria breathed a sigh of relief until she could no longer feel his breath. She looked down at the blood on the ground, and it began to evaporate and disappear, as if some invisible creature had completely left the office... Mary The sub-nerves relaxed, and sat down on the stool.

After relaxing on the chair for a while, Maria raised her hand, and a mirror-like ring appeared in the palm of her hand. Countless enchantment runes were faintly visible on it, and a fragment of a broken stele was floating in it.

Maria's eyes showed respect. The dark red shards were engraved with countless different words, but they couldn't be interpreted due to too many missing parts, but just looking at them, one could feel that it was enough to trigger Trembling, the temperature was as hot as a bonfire in the dark.

She put away her palms, leaned slightly on the back of the chair, closed her eyes, and the memories from the downtown came roaring back, and those daily feelings of wandering on the verge of mental breakdown filled her mind.

If it weren't for this original witch's token, Maria would have died in the city long ago.

And the explosion that Rachel set up at that time did make Maria escape from death, no, it can even be said that she died once, and this token brought her back to life...

Presumably, no matter how powerful the bookstore owner is, he can't do anything against the witch's power.

Mary closed her eyes and meditated, suddenly opened her blue eyes, and took a deep breath. Whether it was for the truth, the Truth Society, or Hood, she had to go to the bookstore.

...

Lin Jie sat lazily on the newly purchased sofa in the bookstore, watching the TV with snowflakes.

After the last heavy snowfall in Nuojin, the weather began to gradually warm up, resulting in continuous rainy days, causing Lin Jie's old TV set to kill time to also start to emit snowflakes.

Lin Jie stood up holding the remote control, patted the TV box hard, the snowflakes began to dissipate, and the host in the news broadcast was finally able to say a complete sentence——

"According to our newsletter, a large-scale collapse occurred in the internal laboratory of the famous scholar organization Truth Society in the scholar-inhabited area of ​​the Central District." The host said seriously: "The casualties are temporarily unknown. Experts say that this is a periodic phenomenon. Caused by ground subsidence..."

Lin Jie raised his brows, listening to the reporter's analysis - the gods periodically subside the ground... The geological conditions of your continent of Azir are really getting more and more outrageous.

I originally thought that the blizzard plus earthquake was the limit, but I didn't expect that there would be such a saying.

"Well, after all, it's a completely man-made city. It's normal to have some problems with the foundation, and since the lower city is underground, the ground must have been hollowed out, and the subsidence is reasonable."

Lin Jie forced himself to believe it.

However, this time it directly affected the Truth Society... I don’t know if Andrew, Hood, and Prima have anything to do?

Thinking of this, Lin Jie felt that it was necessary for him to express his condolences to these three regular customers, so he took out the communication device, but before he got through, he heard the TV continue to say: "Currently, the Truth Society will not accept interviews temporarily, and The communication line is also temporarily disconnected..."

After a short thought, Boss Lin decided to call Ji Zhixu. Also in the Central District, Miss Ji should know the situation more clearly, and there was one thing she agreed to last time but she didn't reply, so I'll let you know by the way.

The communicator rang once and was connected, and Ji Zhixu who was opposite said respectfully: "Boss Lin, do you have any orders?"
