Accidentally … Opened it?!
Ji Zhixu was stunned, and she could not help but stare blankly at the opened brass box.
In the instant that the aether waves dissipated, there was still a tail left. The entire box seemed to have unlocked a layer of invisible shackles, and the luster on the surface changed slightly.
Like an illusion, a blood-red viscous liquid seemed to "overflow" from the opened box, emitting an evil aura.
However, it was only a momentary daze. In the next moment, all she could see was a faint red glow from the box.
Lin Jie was also a little confused. He had just handed the box to Moen for the time being. How could she have opened it without looking at it for a few minutes?
However, after thinking about it, this child had been extremely curious about everyday things ever since he had saved her. She wanted to touch and touch everything she saw. Now that he had given her a box that looked like a Lego toy, it was like throwing a meat bun at a dog, and there was no return.
In addition to her perverse learning ability, it was not strange that she could open the box's lock.
So be it. After all, Miss Ji's request was to open this box.
There was no difference between him opening it and his assistant opening it.
However, this child had touched other people's things without permission, and it was left behind by a scumbag … Perhaps it was a dark history used to threaten Ji Zhixu, and he still had to apologise properly. The web address was m.9biquge. com
Under the gazes of the two, Moen pushed the box forward until it was in front of Lin Jie. He then quickly put his hands behind his back, like a child who had been caught doing something naughty. He looked at Lin Jie with a guilty conscience and said softly, "I only wanted to try."
You just wanted to give it a try, so you opened it after trying, right?
Even if the runes sealing the box were simple, the number of runes that covered the box was not small. Only a light Magus who was proficient in runes could do that.
Could it be that this young lady was actually a light Magus who was proficient in runes?
Ji Zhixu thought of this and was no longer suspicious. On the contrary, she felt that it was only natural. As expected of Mr. Lin's assistant!
Ji Zhixu nodded secretly. Yes, how could someone who could be an assistant in a bookstore be simple?
While she thought it through, Lin Jie pushed the box to Ji Zhixu. He smiled apologetically and said, "She's just a child who doesn't know any better. I'm sorry. She's not very mature yet. Although she's talented in some areas, she still lacks common sense. I haven't taught her how to interact with others."
Mo En blinked and nodded solemnly. "Yes."
So, by "touching it like a child", you mean opening the rune box that He Lisi carefully hid? That's even scarier than "trying" …
Ji Zhixu cursed inwardly, but then she changed her mind and her gaze changed. From Lin Jie's words, she understood that this girl who seemed to be a light Magus was actually taught by Mr. Lin.
Moreover, she wasn't mature and lacked common sense. Coupled with the feeling she had just now, could it be …
Ji Zhixu's heart skipped a beat, and a terrifying thought popped up in her mind. However, because it was too terrifying, she could only suppress her thoughts and not dare to think further. She forced a smile and said, "It's alright. Mr. Lin is someone I respect and trust, and so is your assistant. There's no need to hide these things."
Lin Jie shook his head, thinking that it was no wonder this young lady had been trashed. She really didn't have the slightest bit of vigilance.
Although the person she trusted was his Teacher Lin, and the person who had caused her to trust him was obviously himself, this didn't stop him from thinking that she had exposed some of her weaknesses too easily.
In fact, he and Miss Ji had only met three times. Even if he was trustworthy, the people around him might not be.
Lin Jie looked at Ji Zhixu, and habitually crossed his hands to support his chin, "I remember telling you before that others are hell. In fact, I often say this to others, but not many remember it. In the end, they all pay a heavy price for it."
"I hope you don't repeat the same mistakes. Think carefully about how you felt when you were betrayed. I will punish Mo En. You should also be more cautious. After all, these things are your secrets."
However, you won't lie to me. Everything about me is exposed to your eyes, so there's no need to be cautious.
Ji Zhixu was filled with reverence and even felt a little wronged. However, since Lin Jie had spoken, she could only obediently lower her head and say, "I will. Thank you for the reminder."
However, the strong indeed had their own principles. Mr. Lin didn't even glance at the contents of the box.
But perhaps … No, in fact, he didn't care. It was just a primitive formula. An existence like Mr. Lin should be used to these things.
Ji Zhixu thought to herself, then turned her gaze to the opened brass box in front of her.
The inside of the box was lined with black velvet. The center was sunken, and there was a crystal reagent tube about ten centimeters long. The top was sealed with a cork. Inside the tube was a blood-red liquid.
The bright red viscous blood kept surging inside, clinging to the reagent tube as if it was alive. It shone with a gem-like luster.
Set off by the black velvet, it was even more dazzling. Through the refraction of the transparent crystal, the surrounding brass decorations were reflected in a thin red color.
It was so beautiful, so moving, and so tempting …
This was the primitive formula for the tainted blood that contained the power of the dream beast.
"Bang!"
Ji Zhixu's heart beat with the frequency of the blood's contraction. She felt an instinctive tremor from her bloodline.
This was because the tainted blood she had came from the Sky Wolves. That was why she felt this way.
This meant that the primitive formula in front of her was genuine!
"Phew …"
Ji Zhixu stared blankly at the reagent tube in the box. She heaved a sigh of relief. This meant that she and her new hunter organization had their own foundation.
They had the primitive formula and replaced the original Sky Wolves. They were the orthodox!
Ji Zhixu's biggest worry was solved. She felt much more relaxed. Then, she turned her gaze to the side of the box.
In the gap between the brass decorations and the black velvet at the bottom of the box, there was a folded white letter. It was all crumpled up.
Ji Zhixu stretched out her hand to take out the letter and smoothed it out. She realized that there were two of them. They were both secret letters to He Lisi.
