The treacherous and cunning "rat" would never have thought of this.
He had been in and out of various organizations for decades and was safe and sound. On the surface, he was just an ordinary intelligence dealer, but in fact, he had spies all over the place. He could be called the king of the unknown dark kingdom.
In the end, he died silently and without a trace in such a seemingly ordinary bookstore.
He died because of his "acuity" that he was so proud of.
Ji Zhixu sat down again, but she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
Her hand that was holding the teacup trembled slightly, and she could not help but glance at the Gargoyle on the counter next to her.
The demon that had just devoured a living human in an extremely cruel manner had now become a quiet black statue.
It was as if nothing had happened.
The statue did not even move from its original position. It was silently squatting at the door.
Ji Zhixu did not know if it was an illusion, but its blood-red eyes seemed to be brighter …
Ji Zhixu looked at Lin Jie who was walking down the stairs as if nothing had happened. She thought to herself, "This must be a warning from the owner of the bookstore!" She remembered the URL: m.9biquge.com.
He must have seen Rui En's disrespect and suspicion, but he did not bother to point it out. Instead, he let the Gargoyle kill this ignorant and fearless guy.
It was an understatement.
He did not even bother to do it himself, nor did he want to see this guy's ugly struggle in the face of death. Therefore, he just casually made an excuse and left.
No, he did not even make an excuse. He said, "Take care of some things, five minutes is enough." Wasn't he talking about the time he took to kill Rui En?
This … this was just like the temperament of the Dark Wizards!
Arrogant, elegant, cruel, and ruthless … They were more violent than hunters.
No wonder Wang Erde appeared here.
This Annihilation Level, who represented the image of the Dark Wizards in recent years, should be very good friends with the owner of the bookstore …
"What did you say just now? If you have any ideas, just tell me. I will try my best to help. Don't be shy."
Lin Jie smiled kindly at Ji Zhixu and returned to his seat.
Ji Zhixu quivered and withdrew her gaze from the gargoyle. She said cautiously, "No, nothing. I was just wondering if you could lend me a book … I'm very sorry. My attendant was a little rude just now. But please believe me, that was not my intention."
At this moment, she felt at a loss, like a little girl who didn't know anything.
He was not a cold-blooded hunter who had just annihilated the white wolf leader's base camp.
However, when a person who had just been talking to him was killed in an instant right next to him, not even leaving a trace behind …
He felt the chilling sensation of impending death.
It was impossible not to feel a deep sense of fear.
To Ji Zhixu, the most terrifying thing was that not only did Rui En not have any room to resist, but she also didn't have time to react.
In other words, if the gargoyle had attacked her at that time, there was a high probability that she would have quietly disappeared from the face of the earth.
If her attitude towards Lin Jie before was respect, then now it was reverence from the bottom of her heart.
Lin Jie laughed involuntarily and said, "It doesn't matter. This is a bookstore. If you want to borrow, you can just choose. Do you want to look at the books on these shelves?"
"But each person can only borrow three books at a time. If you want to buy, the price will be higher. Moreover, it is only limited to the books on the shelves behind you."
He pointed at the three rows of bookshelves behind Ji Zhixu. On those bookshelves were books that he had already read and saved copies of.
Ji Zhixu shook her head. She didn't dare to casually pry into this vast and mysterious library. The book "Blood and Beasts" from last time, she was still stuck at the preface.
If she went deeper, she was afraid that her spirit would go crazy from looking directly at the taboo words.
She could only wait for her strength to increase further.
"Please recommend a suitable book for me. My will is too weak."
She sat on the stool with her hands on her knees and said carefully.
She was clearly a mature and elegant woman in her twenties, but now she looked like a pitiful and lovable kitten.
Lin Jie felt that this young miss's attitude was a bit strange.
He had only left for five minutes, but she looked like she had seen a tiger. Even her tone was a bit softer.
It was as if she had received a blow to her spirit.
Lin Jie thought about it. The only change in the middle should be the subordinate who had suddenly left because of an urgent matter.
When he was upstairs, he faintly heard the sound of an argument coming from downstairs.
If that was the case, according to his guess, this subordinate probably felt that this young miss condescending to come to this broken bookstore was very inappropriate.
Thus, he wanted to persuade the young miss to stay away from this "swindler". However, Ji Zhixu had already built up her trust in him, so she refused.
In the end, the two parted on bad terms. That subordinate probably went home to report the young miss's rebellion.
Ai, that's right. This is the image of a young miss who can meet a scumbag.
"If that's the case, I do have a book that I can recommend to you."
Lin Jie stood up and took out a book from the bookshelf. He patted the dust off the book and turned his head, squinting his eyes. "Oh right, that subordinate of yours has a strange look in his eyes."
"It's best not to talk about things like absolute loyalty."
After what had just happened, Ji Zhixu was a bit hesitant and wavered. "But …"
Light Magi had passed down the power of runes since ancient times, especially the brand of "loyalty". It was very popular among the upper echelons of the nobility and the rich.
Of course, different Magi drew different runes, and only the person who drew them knew how to dispel them.
If Rui En's brand lost its effectiveness, it meant that …
Haywood, the light Magus that her father had supported, might have sold the dispelling rune to someone else without permission.
Lin Jie handed over the book in his hands and said in a low voice, "Others are hell. You will never be able to accurately judge what others are thinking, right? No matter what method you use, you will never be able to completely expose a person's heart to you. "
"The only person you can rely on, the only person you can trust, is yourself."
"So, work hard. When you are as indestructible as steel, no one will be able to defeat you."
Ji Zhixu received the book with both hands and muttered as she looked at the cover, "Steel …"
Lin Jie smiled and nodded his head.
Yes, it was' How Steel Is Forged '.
"Read it more. If you can comprehend anything from it, it will be helpful."
"That way, one day, when you look back on your past, you won't feel regret for being mediocre and wasting your time. You won't feel guilty for being despicable and living a vulgar life."
"You have your own mission."
When Ji Zhixu left the bookstore, she stood absentmindedly in the rain, the words of the owner of the bookstore still lingering in her ears.
She looked at the 'Steel Will' book in her hands and slowly flipped through the pages.
In that instant, an unknown force filled her mind and soul, making her feel as if everything in front of her had nowhere to hide.
