“！”
Ge Leige was stunned when he heard this. Then, he quivered and immediately became vigilant.
Here it comes … This was the common speech technique of the bookstore owner that was mentioned many times in the intelligence.
By starting a topic, it seemed like a normal conversation to let you talk about your troubles and play the role of a good person. In fact, it was luring you to let down your guard, weave a trap step by step, and wait for the prey to fall into the trap.
Then, in the process of gradually deepening the conversation, the rhythm of the conversation would be completely controlled by the other party, and your thoughts would unconsciously fall into the control of the other party.
Your information would be exposed, and your trust in the bookstore owner would strangely reach an unreasonable level. You would even sell yourself to the other party to count the money.
So far, everyone who had entered the bookstore or had contact with the bookstore owner, as long as they did not show obvious hostility, would basically become fans of the devil in front of them.
It was as if someone had tampered with their cognition … No, although they had not monitored this process so far, they believed that this was actually a method of mind control by the bookstore owner.
As for those who showed hostility … the grass on their graves should be three feet high by now.
When Ge Leige first heard this, he was very worried and nervous.
Because his idol, Yue Sefu, was also one of these people. Remember the URL: m.9biquge.com.
But fortunately, Yue Sefu had always maintained his rationality. His evaluation of the bookstore owner was very objective, and his understanding of the possible harm the bookstore could cause was very clear.
It was only out of kindness, and the things that the bookstore owner asked him to do were beneficial, so he had been helping him.
… At least, that was what Ge Leige thought.
He attributed this to the personal will of Yue Sefu.
To be able to rely on his belief in justice to defeat the despicable means of the evil bookstore owner, he was indeed worthy of being Yue Sefu!
Although Yue Sefu was defeated by this devil because of a moment of carelessness, Yue Sefu was still Yue Sefu after all. His undefeated will that burned like a raging flame was the most worthy thing to follow.
Therefore, as a probationary disciple of Yue Sefu, he, Ge Leige, could not embarrass his teacher when faced with the same trick!
Ge Leige took a deep breath and prepared himself mentally. He told himself that he could not reveal too much information and that it should be fine to just talk about his troubles …
Then, he said in a low voice, "I originally belonged to another department. In fact, I should be considered an external employee. I didn't come from the Miyie Tower's Cultivation Department. It was only later that Lord Yue Sefu thought highly of me that I joined the Intelligence Department."
"Before this, I could only be considered a part-time worker in the Mystic Cult Tower. To my colleagues now … it's more like I've taken the back door."
He couldn't help but smirk at himself.
The bigger reason was that he had been too high-profile when he had paid for his idol's bill in such a big way. When people asked about it, they would connect it to the fact that Yue Sefu had taken him in as a disciple, and they would show an expression of understanding.
As for how capable he was?
It didn't matter. It didn't matter whether he was strong or weak. In any case, he had indeed done things that normal people would find ridiculous and extravagant. That was enough.
They could look at him strangely and gossip behind his back … Although they didn't mean any harm, Ge Leige naturally felt uncomfortable. It felt like he was being ostracized.
Of course, Ge Leige wouldn't complain to others in the Mystic Cult Tower or tell his family about it.
However, the person in front of him was neither his colleague nor his family. He had only met once (in cat form) as an "enemy."
He didn't feel burdened or ashamed. It seemed like … he had become the perfect person to talk to.
However, this kind of thing could easily become a weakness. Therefore, he would never reveal his dark history in front of this devil. This level of ambiguity was very good.
Lin Jie crossed his arms and supported his chin. He said thoughtfully, "So that's the case. Feeling annoyed because of xenophobia and criticism … This is indeed a problem that can't be ignored."
He took a sip of the tea that he had just brewed and narrowed his eyes. "I think you should hate talking about this with others because their words and actions have already hurt your self-esteem. Therefore, you won't even think about what they will do after hearing your thoughts. Anyway, even if they repent, their actions and words will still affect you."
"If that's the case, why should you hope that these people will give up their thoughts? Talking to others about this will only make you seem childish. Am I right, student Ge Leige? "
Ge Leige was shocked. He stammered, "You, how did you …"
"How did I know?"
Lin Jie showed a mysterious smile. Would I tell you that I have seen many young people like you, and the problems that I often encounter are similar?
Ge Leige scolded himself for saying such nonsense. Everyone knew that the owner of the bookstore was famous for being "omniscient and omnipotent." Did he still need to ask such a simple truth?
But … it was undeniable that this was indeed his true thought.
Lin Jie spread out his hands and continued, "It's just a little psychological knowledge and some simple skills. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Ge Leige quickly shook his head, "No, no need!"
He thought that it was a close call. He almost fell into a trap, but it didn't matter. He was still very clear-headed and wouldn't take the bait at all.
Hmph, devil? As long as he was firm enough, he wouldn't be controlled at all.
"Okay." Lin Jie regretfully took back his hand that was about to take the book and said, "How about you treat me as a 'tree hole'?"
Ge Leige was puzzled, "Tree hole?"
"Just tell the tree hole the things that you can't tell others, such as your troubles and secrets. It won't respond, nor will it spread them. It won't even have its own thoughts. It won't have any worries. It will only listen quietly."
"Although I can't compare to the real Tree Hole, you and I can be considered half a stranger. I won't deliberately run to your colleagues to tell them. Telling me is tantamount to telling Tree Hole."
"Sometimes, suppressing yourself for too long is a very uncomfortable thing."
Lin Jie showed his signature amiable smile and said with a smile, "What do you think?"
Although that was what he said, Lin Jie had quietly expanded "tell me your troubles" to "tell me your secrets" …
If he wanted to keep customers, not only did he have to have good things, but he also had to be more flexible.
Ge Leige hesitated. Looking at the gentle smile in front of him, he felt that this proposal was exactly the same as what he had in mind …
Yes, he was just talking about some unimportant things. It wasn't like he was revealing the tower's plan. It was fine, he was just talking about it.
Ah, no, no, no, no, what was he thinking!
This was the beginning of being deceived by the devil. He couldn't believe it! He had to control himself!
But if he said it, wouldn't he be able to win the devil's trust and then obtain the key to turning the situation around and proving his value?
Ge Leige was conflicted. He gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It might be easier to say it, but I also have a question that I want to know your thoughts on."
Lin Jie raised his eyebrows, "My thoughts?"
"Yes." Ge Leige nodded, "My teacher … Lord Yue Sefu, if you and Wang Erde were in opposition, who do you think has a higher chance of winning?"
