When the extremely thick white mist dissipated, Melissa looked at Block 23 and sighed softly—there was a bookstore that changed her fate.

She was wearing a long leather windbreaker, and when the desolate street wind blew by, it also made her sleeves rattle.

Melissa was keenly aware that the sudden white mist was not formed naturally, but by the power of some powerful supernatural beings. When she was approaching the 27th block, she saw a figure in black robes hurriedly coming out of the bookstore, holding a book in his arms. It seems to be holding a book.

Now she was sure, the thick fog was not formed naturally, but the man in black robe - the new bookstore customer? she thinks.

Thinking of this, Melissa's heart began to ache faintly.

A sense of alienation from time to time welled up in my heart-new guests came, and old guests left completely.

She has fiery red hair, her ponytail is no longer raised high, but cut short and tied low, her hands are in the pockets of her red leather jacket, her expression is not as lively as it used to be, as if she grew up overnight ten years old.

After the battle in Block 67, she used the overclocking learning from the books given to her by the owner of the bookstore to allow herself to comprehend the power of gods across classes. She was promoted to the level of destruction in one fell swoop and mastered some rules in advance. He has grown to a height beyond the reach of his peers.

—even higher.

However, the price - lost his father forever.

The Secret Ritual Tower awarded her posthumously as a family member of the martyr again, and had the opportunity to directly become a senior executive of the Secret Ritual Tower, as compensation to the martyr's family, and also an affirmation of her talent and talent.

Melissa smiled wryly. She never expected to have the opportunity to become the so-called martyr's family twice.

She sighed softly, the feeling of grief had already turned into numbness when she heard from Uncle Winston that her father had died in battle. She clenched her fists and walked towards the bookstore.

Confusion is worn around her neck like a shackle, and at the same time, she puts the shackles on herself, and is approaching the execution ground every day... Maybe she should take revenge, but who should she seek revenge?

Winston said that Wilde and his father had died together, and perhaps this was the best result.

Melissa was in pain and confused. When she was at a loss, she had already reached the 23rd block. When the white fog cleared, she came to the door of the bookstore unknowingly.

Now I don't have the face to meet Boss Lin, after all, Boss Lin has already given him a chance - turning back time and manipulating the battlefield, he has already given himself and his father a way to survive, but it still failed.

She walked into the bookstore slowly, at least saying sorry to Boss Lin.

...

When Lin Jie was gently placing the gift from the black-robed man from the lower city—the piece of life, he felt as if there were guests coming. He couldn't help but sigh, in such a heavy fog today, there were actually two customers here .

He raised his head in joy and saw a familiar face.

Hiss, Melissa? ! Lin Jie almost threw the fragment of life in his hand to the ground.

Lin Jie's brain with an IQ of 270 began to spin rapidly, and he immediately thought that Melissa was here to find Joseph, right? But Joseph seemed to have said that he could not tell Melissa that he was still alive.

Although I really don't understand this kind of education method, Melissa really looks very grown up... Lin Jie looked Melissa up and down, indeed, this child has grown a lot in all aspects, even her clothes are old-fashioned A lot.

"Melissa, you're still here after all." Lin Jie said lightly.

"...Boss Lin." Melissa lowered her head, her red hair was no longer flamboyant, but pressed against her head docilely, her voice was indescribably hoarse, "I'm sorry."

ah? Why are you saying sorry to me? ... Lin Jie fell into deep thought, but he still frowned, as if he had a headache for this former brat.

Could it be that this child grew up so fast? You already know that the previous communication with me—wrestling with me, challenging me, etc. are all childish behaviors, disrespecting me, a highly respected (self-conceived) bookstore owner?

Are you growing up too fast? ! Lin Jie was shocked.

Melissa raised her head quietly, glanced at Lin Jie, saw his serious face, and did not answer whether to forgive herself.

With the help of the bookstore owner, he still failed to protect his father and let him leave completely in that war. This kind of thing disappointed Boss Lin, and he really should apologize.

"At least, at least Wilde is dead." Melissa raised her head and said a little firmly.

"Ah? Lao Wang is dead?" Lin Jie was immediately shocked, "Who told you?"

Ok? Melissa opened her eyes wide, and at the same time, Lin Jie and Lin Jie looked confused.

"No, no?" Melissa was already feeling guilty. In her eyes, the horrific battle on No. 67 was beyond her capacity as a child, especially the collision between the gods at the end. Of course she was Did not witness Wilde's death.

To be exact, no one saw it, not even Joseph.

Is Wilde really dead? ... That dark wizard was very cunning, Melissa was not completely sure before seeing the corpse.

"I don't know his life or death, I just want you to confirm it." Lin Jie said seriously.

Melissa: "..."

"Forget it, let's leave this alone." Lin Jie put down his work and frowned.

To be honest, although Wilde let the dog commit murder and joined a cult, he did not harm anyone. He is still a good person, so he should not die, and it is strange to discuss whether he will die or not here.

No matter what happened to Wilde, he had given gifts to Lin Jie and took care of business, so he was considered a friend. Lin Jie couldn't easily believe that a friend just disappeared.

"You came to me because of your father's affairs?" Lin Jie asked, clearing his throat.

Melissa is still in the shock of the fact that Wilde has not been eliminated... Mr. Lin asked me to confirm Wilde's life and death? Are you implying that Wilde is still alive? !

Melissa clenched her fists so tightly that her nails were almost embedded in her flesh.

She had difficulty breathing, and an unspeakable storm surged through her chest—she could not accept the fact that Wilde was alive.

"I know about your father, but I hope you can get out of the grief, because you still have a bigger task waiting for you." Lin Jie comforted him seriously: "The most important thing is to let the dead see your growth, That will make him happy."

Melissa raised her eyes and walked out of the fact that Wilde was still alive.

Bigger tasks? ... Could it be that he continued to kill Wilde to avenge his father? Even if Boss Lin doesn't say this kind of task, I will do it. Melissa took a deep breath——

"I will let my father see my growth. I will let him know that what he cannot accomplish, I will accomplish. What he cannot do, I will do..." Melissa said with a slight sob .

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Good boy."
