With mixed feelings, Andrew flipped open the book in front of him, as though he was welcoming a predestined fate.
His fingers touched the cover and pages of the book, and he slowly lifted it up. The paper was clearly thin and weightless, but Andrew seemed to feel a tremendous pressure at this moment.
The invisible pressure came from all directions, from the gaze of the void, from the eternal stars in the firmament …
Andrew's heart skipped a beat. Chaotic screams suddenly sounded in his mind. His temples were throbbing, and there seemed to be shadows dancing around him. A strong sense of danger was knocking on his brain and heart.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The repeated attacks made his heart contract again and again. His entire body trembled, and he found it difficult to breathe as though he was drowning.
"Ha … Ha …"
He panted hard, feeling that he wasn't flipping open a thin book.
Instead, he was pushing open a heavy door that contained a taboo truth.
Andrew was sweating profusely as he stared in horror at the spot where his hand touched the page. The page and the cover slowly separated, and at the same time, he felt his strength being drained.
And at this moment, he couldn't stop. Remember the URL: m.9biquge.com.
That's right, he couldn't stop! He couldn't stop!
Andrew panicked as he realized that his body was no longer under his control. His arms were moving on their own, exerting enough strength to open the book.
The pages of the book flipped open, and the distorted taboo and filthy runes were like wind, dust, or the sun. Andrew felt as though he was being pushed by a storm of "knowledge."
This gale was like a bone-scraping steel knife that slashed across his thoughts, making him want to retreat, scream, and escape uncontrollably.
"No, no! Ahhhhh!!! "
Andrew subconsciously let out a silent cry. The pain and frenzy were destroying his rationality.
He felt his consciousness flying, spinning, and being pulled, passing through a grotesque world. Behind the opened door in front of him, light radiated in all directions. In the depths of the darkness, there were things that emitted endless light, like rings and bubble-like halos.
Just a glimpse through the crack of the door had shattered his soul.
The amount of information that exceeded what he could bear was seized by Andrew's vision on the surface of the halos, causing him to expand, explode, and be destroyed in an instant.
And because of the storm of "knowledge" that surrounded his thoughts, Andrew's soul didn't perish. Instead, it fused with the storm …
Gradually, it transformed into a new life.
All of this happened on the level of spirit, thought, and soul. Therefore, on the surface, Andrew only opened the book "excitedly". Then, his expression changed, and he fell into silence.
His head was lowered, and his gaze was lifeless, becoming pitch black and deathly still.
However, in the depths of his pupils, a ring slowly began to light up … a ring that had no beginning, no end, an endless and boundless circle.
Five minutes passed.
"Mr. Lin, is Vice President Andrew alright?"
Prima, who had been watching from the side, felt uneasy. She looked at Andrew's back that was strangely quiet as he sat in front of the counter and finally couldn't help but ask.
In fact, five minutes ago, she seemed to have seen the Vice President's body twitch, and it wasn't a normal twitch. It was as if he was being suppressed by some invisible force and was struggling with all his might …
What was even more frightening was that on Andrew's back, from within his suit, a series of twisted and thick meridians, as well as something that looked like lumps of flesh, had appeared.
It was as if there was some monster, at that moment, lurking in his body.
"Shhh —"
Lin Jie immediately raised his finger and gestured for Prima to be quiet. He also looked at the little girl with dissatisfaction.
Prima immediately covered her mouth, feeling a little panicked.
Lin Jie glanced at Andrew. Seeing that he wasn't disturbed, he waved at Prima, got up, and walked to the side.
Prima followed with a heart full of apprehension.
Lin Jie looked at her, a little baffled, and said, "Can't you see that he's engrossed in reading? He's so engrossed, what can happen? "
Prima raised her head and looked at Lin Jie's incomparably natural expression. Then, she thought of the abnormality on Andrew's body, and the doubts in her heart grew deeper and deeper.
Although, although Mr. Lin had a close relationship with Wapu, who was in charge of the night, and it was very likely that he was an existence of a higher level.
But this didn't seem to mean that he was necessarily a "kind" character in the usual sense.
However, from Andrew's behavior at the beginning, he should have offended Mr. Lin from the beginning, which was why he came to apologize. Therefore, it was normal for Mr. Lin to punish him slightly.
Prima tried hard to comfort and convince herself.
Lin Jie also looked at Andrew. Seeing that he was clearly immersed in the world of the book, he continued with a smile, "This business is in the bag … Scholars are indeed scholars. They are all lovers of books, and they can understand the true essence of the book. Look at his fascinated expression, it's as if he's been eaten by the book. No wonder Hood and the other rascals came to steal the book."
He muttered, "So the Truth Society is the real big customer. Should I continue to develop and strive to take over the entire Truth Society?"
Prima suddenly shivered, and a look of horror appeared in her eyes.
As if he's been eaten by the book?
Take over the entire Truth Society?
Heavens … What is Mr. Lin trying to do? This seems to be a very extraordinary plan …
Wait, she heard everything. What should I do?! Will I be silenced?!
The black-haired girl's face became very pale, and she looked at Lin Jie in horror.
Lin Jie looked back at her and was even more confused. He thought for a moment and wondered if his tone was a bit too harsh and scared the child. Therefore, he reached out and touched Prima's head, and said softly, "Sorry, did I scare you? I was a bit anxious. After all, it's not easy for the bookstore to have business, so we have to work harder."
Prima looked at Lin Jie's gentle smile, swallowed, and hurriedly shook her head. "No, no …"
I didn't see anything!
Lin Jie felt that this child was a bit strange, but since she said that she didn't see anything, it shouldn't be a big deal.
He asked Prima to boil a pot of hot water for him, and he returned to his seat.
Andrew seemed to have broken out of his daze and was slowly flipping through the remaining pages of the book. His eyes were full of devotion and … fanaticism.
"How do you feel?"
Lin Jie sat down and asked eagerly.
"I've never felt better." Andrew stared at the book in his hand. "It's just that I seem to understand it, but I also don't seem to understand it."
"It's normal. The things in this book need to be slowly tasted and comprehended."
Isn't this nonsense? If you can understand it immediately, then why would I sell it?
Lin Jie smiled. "For example, the book said that there is another way of expression besides language."
"If you can grasp this way of expression without language, then you can understand the entire world."
"Do you know what it is?"
Andrew looked at Lin Jie with bright eyes, and he said word by word, as if he was reciting a doctrine. "All things are one … One is all, and all is one."
