Ge Leige didn't even know how he finished his breakfast.
His mind was still in a mess when he walked to the garden of the manor and looked at the lively scene where many guests had gathered again. Other than them, who could imagine that the entire manor had almost been annihilated by the god-level's domain a few minutes ago?
Although everything was back to normal now, it was probably just a prelude to something that was about to happen …
According to past experience, the sudden appearance of the god-level that had never appeared before must have been deliberately arranged by the owner of the bookstore.
Since he already knew that the Miyie Tower had sent Ge Leige to spy on them, and had even purposely let Ge Leige follow him, he must have purposely let him know about this god-level existence.
In that case, this god-level identity might be the key to this matter?
All sorts of messy guesses flashed through Ge Leige's mind, but he still couldn't figure out how this god-level's appearance had anything to do with the bookstore owner's purpose and influence on the current situation.
Although on the surface, that god-level seemed to have only come for the bookstore owner, and only had Lin Jie as his opponent and wanted to kill Lin Jie.
However, this manor was also the second battlefield between the Miyie Tower and the Corpse Food Cult.
Ge Leige had acted as a spy for the Miyie Tower, Charlotte was definitely Wang Erde's backup, and Fitch was related to the Road of the Fire Sword. The bookstore owner, who controlled everything, definitely wouldn't let an unrelated person in to disturb him. Therefore, this guy who had suddenly appeared must have …
Wait … Road of the Fire Sword? Remember the URL: m.9biquge.com.
Ge Leige suddenly felt that he had grasped the faintly discernible clue.
Among the few forces in the manor, the Mystic Tower was the first to be eliminated without a doubt. As a new force, the Corpse Food Cult knew everything about them. Moreover, Charlotte was one of the people who had been affected back then, so it was naturally impossible for them to be involved.
The only one left was Fitch, who had the keyword "Road of the Fire Sword"!
Ge Leige felt that he had an epiphany.
That's right, this was the hint that the bookstore owner had placed in front of him from the beginning.
Could it be that … this god-level being that he had never seen before was one of the people behind the Road of the Fire Sword that the bookstore had been planning to deal with?
In other words, the purpose of the bookstore owner this time was still to guide them to discover the deeper hidden side of the Road of the Fire Sword.
But … why did he let that god-level being go?
With the strength that the owner of the bookstore had shown, it was impossible that he had let them go because of negligence. He must have other motives.
It was impossible for Ge Leige to figure this out on his own.
'Looks like I can only wait until the banquet is over and find time to report to Section Chief Winston. I'll borrow the power of the Secret Ritual Tower to investigate …'
Ge Leige's heart was filled with unease. Looking at Lin Jie, who was happily chatting with Charlotte and Fitch, he couldn't help but tremble.
He still had a lot of doubts in his heart, but there was one thing that he was certain of.
In that case, Nuo Jin had now gathered three new God-level entities because of the bookstore owner, and each one was more dangerous than the last.
This was no longer the center of the storm. This was the center of a nuclear explosion …
One careless move and Nuo Jin would be destroyed.
The youth, who had already been tortured by the pressure for an entire night, wanted to cry but had no tears. He could only comfort himself that it would be fine once he got used to it …
"Ge Leige?"
Lin Jie's voice suddenly sounded from the side. Ge Leige turned his head abruptly and saw that the owner of the bookstore had ended his conversation with Fitch and Charlotte at some point. He looked over with an expression that said he hadn't had enough, so he stammered, "Do, do you have any instructions for me?"
Lin Jie patted him on the shoulder, "Why are you becoming more and more reserved? Relax a little and interact more with others. It'll be very helpful for you, especially Fitch. He was very touched by what you said this morning, and he agrees with what you said very much."
"He just told me that the small conflicts from before were all misunderstandings. He feels that you're also someone worth befriending."
At least, Fitch had immediately nodded when he asked, so it wasn't a problem to say that he said it himself, right?
"Although you two come from different backgrounds, you can definitely become friends since you agree on some ideals. And it's precisely because of this that you might be able to understand some … things that are different from what you know."
Ge Leige felt that there was a deeper meaning in these words.
No, this was no longer a hint … This was telling him to go and ask for information now, and then report it to the Myrtle Tower.
Lin Jie put his arm around Ge Leige's shoulder and pushed him forward, smiling as he said, "How about I give you a mission?"
Sigh, when he thought of how severe this child's social phobia was, he felt that he needed to help him out.
His tit for tat with Fitch earlier must have been because he wasn't good at expressing himself, right? With such severe social phobia, normal treatment wouldn't be very effective anymore, so it was best to use exposure therapy and let him interact more with others.
Seeing Ge Leige turn back to look at him hesitantly, Lin Jie smiled and waved his hand, expressing his encouragement.
Ge Leige turned back to look at Fitch, who had at some point snapped out of his stupor. The latter's aura was completely different now, and there was a trace of hopelessness in his weathered face.
He really didn't know what he had seen in that experience of losing his mind just now …
Fitch even took the initiative to pour him a drink and waited for him to take it before saying, "In your files, I'm just a pitiful bug who was used as a test subject by the Road of the Flaming Sword, right?"
“！”
Ge Leige jerked his head up. How did this fellow know …
Fitch shrugged indifferently and revealed a strange smile. "I roughly know why, but it's hard to explain it to you clearly … The process is very complicated, but the result, in short, is that because of my ability, my spiritual perception is slightly higher than the average Extraordinaire's, so when I looked directly at her, I was directly pulled into that god-level evil intention."
Ge Leige seemed to understand a little. "So?"
Fitch said in a low voice, "That god-level is very special … Her original body exists in the four-dimensional space, so the evil intention wasn't temporary, but traversed the entire timeline since its existence. I directly obtained all of her evil intention and related memories."
"It also includes some things about the Road of the Flaming Sword, the Myrtle Tower, and that plan that involves myself."
He shrugged. "So, if you want to ask me anything, just ask. After all — "
Fitch clinked his wine glass with Ge Leige's, the back of his bare hand as transparent as glass under the sunlight for a moment. "This is a mission given to you by the Lord."

While Lin Jie and his customers were chatting happily, Arnal, who was running for her life with all her might, was curled up in a certain timeline.
Having lost almost all of her power, she could no longer maintain her human mimicry and had completely changed back into a butterfly-like form made up of thousands of strands of light. Her body was constantly showing signs of collapsing, flickering as if her signal had been cut off, and a few translucent insects would drop down from time to time.
She wandered aimlessly and madly in the long river of time, losing her mind. "My … My power … Give it back to me … Give it back to me!"
Suddenly, she felt that the power that originally belonged to her was ignited in a fragile container like a torch. She immediately jumped towards the tempting light in ecstasy.
