"Beastification!"
Ji Zhixu was so shocked that she almost stood up from her seat, but she forcefully restrained her impulse.
The information in her mind was as firm as if it had always existed, firmly imprinted in her memory.
It even made her feel the burning pain of being branded.
"Beastification: Power extracted from blood, controlled with blood …"
Ji Zhixu held the book in her hand, her eyelids twitching. She had a lingering fear. What on earth was this?!
The hunters' power came from dream beasts, and they obtained part of their power through injecting drugs that used tainted blood as the main ingredient. They were people who stared into the abyss and turned into the abyss.
Injecting tainted blood was a very dangerous act, and there was even a certain mortality rate for the first injection.
This was also a threshold to become a hunter.
If the dosage exceeded a certain ratio, then the hunter would be infected very quickly. The tainted blood could not be controlled and wreaked havoc in the body, causing a certain degree of abnormality.
The specific phenomenon was roughly divided into three stages: personality distortion, rationality evaporation, and body mutation. The first website was m.9biquge. com
The higher the concentration of tainted blood, the stronger the hunter's power, and the more serious the abnormality.
Among the body mutations, the most common was beastification.
That kind of beastification was uncontrollable!
The strength of the old hunters who had accumulated too much tainted blood was unimaginable. However, under normal circumstances, they were tortured by the beastification phenomenon, and even couldn't move. It was very painful.
Ji Zhixu's idea of not being human was to obtain power through a second injection, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye!
However, she did not expect that the mysterious owner of the bookstore would actually give her the method to control tainted blood!
Completely controllable beastification!
A problem that hunters and wizards had been unable to solve since ancient times!
"Book of Confession …"
Clearly feeling the blood in her body crying out in submission, Ji Zhixu's voice trembled slightly and was a little hoarse, "Is this what you want me to do?"
What a lunatic!
A powerful lunatic!
This short piece of information was enough to subvert the power system that the entire hunter community relied on for survival!
Once this skill was spread, the order that hunters now relied on tainted blood to establish would be broken!
By doing so, it was equivalent to starting a war against the Old World.
She might be a saint, or she might be a sinner.
All the choices of fate, the tides of the era, were now in her hands.
She wanted to repent for the dead old world.
Ji Zhixu's breathing gradually became heavier. She lowered her head and stared at the book in her hand. It was especially clear in this quiet bookstore.
Lin Jie sighed inwardly as he looked at the woman whose shoulders were trembling with her head lowered.
Sigh, this is a lovelorn woman.
Sentimental.
Although she looked like a strong career woman, it was actually just a facade, a fragile outer shell.
Look, with just a few words of consolation and encouragement, she was already on the verge of tears.
Of course, sometimes, crying wasn't because of sadness, but because there was someone to talk to and rely on.
However, after venting her weakness, she still needed a boost to her confidence. She needed to believe that she could do it, that she could face everything and reveal her true self!
He said, "Yes, I need you to do so, and you must do so. It is not to repent, but to be honest with yourself."
The young man opposite her had already retracted his gaze. He whispered, as if he was talking to her, but also as if he was talking to himself.
"Blow the horn of Armageddon if you want to. I will hold this book in my hand and stand in front of the supreme judge. I will announce loudly, 'This is what I do, what I think, and who I am. I will say good and evil with the same frankness. '"
What Lin Jie said was the original text of Rousseau's "Confessions".
He smiled and said, "Everyone has the primitive desire of a beast. This is the truth, isn't it?"
Ji Zhixu suddenly looked up and saw Lin Jie pick up his teacup and clinked it with the cup in front of her. He looked up at her and said, "Let's toast to a brand new tomorrow. How about it?"
After a long time.
She put down the book in her hand, solemnly picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp. She smiled and then carefully lowered her head and said, "Thank you for your guidance. I will follow your wishes."
Lin Jie had just taken a sip when he saw Ji Zhixu drink it in one gulp. He paused and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Why did she drink it all? He was just saying it symbolically. He just wanted her to drink more warm water to warm her stomach …
More importantly, he had just refilled the water for the other side. That was a cup of genuine boiling water! Ahhh!!!
How could she drink it all without blinking?!
Forget it.
After all, she had just fallen out of love. It was possible that she was in a daze …
Lin Jie put down the cup and still felt uneasy. He probed, "Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Ji Zhixu shook her head. "Thank you for your concern. I am fine."
During the time the two of them were talking, her injuries had completely healed.
This was the power of the tainted blood.
Well, since she said so, he would treat it as if she was fine.
After all, if she was really scalded, she wouldn't be talking to him now.
"Do you want to rest for a while?"
Lin Jie took out a black umbrella from under the counter and shook it. "Unfortunately, my bookstore is too crowded. There is no extra space and no guest room, so I can only take you in until tonight."
"This is the umbrella. You can take it with the book. The deadline for returning the book is one month. At most, you can give me seven days. Remember to bring the umbrella back when the time comes."
His bookstore wasn't so much a bookstore. It was more like a simple library. Other than books, there were only bookcases.
"I'll leave in a while."
Ji Zhixu took the umbrella and signed her name and information on the register that Lin Jie took out. She cautiously said in a low voice, "Can I … understand you?"
Me?
I shouldn't have crossed the line. Or is it that a broken-hearted woman is really easy to take advantage of?
Lin Jie blinked and revealed a business smile. "My name is Lin Jie. I am just an ordinary bookstore owner who is willing to help people."
He put the book in a plastic bag and looked down at the register.
Name: Ji Zhixu … Hm?
Ji Bonong, the only daughter of the famous tycoon who was involved in underground resource development in the downtown area, seemed to be called this name?
Lin Jie felt that his memory was quite good. This name could be considered unique, so he definitely remembered it correctly.
In addition, she had an outstanding appearance and seemed to be wearing a custom-designed evening gown.
He put back the register without saying a word, pretending to be calm.
This was a big fish.
She could definitely … earn enough money to renovate the bookstore!
Ji Zhixu wasn't disappointed. Instead, she had a feeling that this was within her expectations.
Since the other party didn't want to reveal his identity, then she could only rely on her own efforts. Before the one month deadline was up, she had to at least take care of all the traitors!
Then, she could ask for help with the next step …
She took two steps back and held the umbrella and book with one hand. She held the cane under her armpit and pressed the other hand to her chest. She bowed to Lin Jie.
"Then, I wish you a good night."
Lin Jie scratched his head. Should he say that she was worthy of being a young mistress? This etiquette was a bit too exaggerated.
Ji Zhixu let out a sigh of relief. She respectfully stood up straight and turned to leave the store. She opened the door, opened the umbrella, and walked forward in the heavy rain.
Suddenly, she pressed the trigger of the cane and her whole body became alert again. She vigilantly looked in front of her.
An old man holding an umbrella walked over. His back was hunched as he slowly walked forward in the rain with a book in his hand.
