"The snow hasn't melted yet …"
The young man walked far away, his figure gradually disappearing into the night. But the meaningful words and the look in his eyes when he turned back seemed to still be in front of her.
The father and daughter of the Ji family stood respectfully in the cold wind for a long time, until they could no longer see Lin Jie's back. Then, they straightened up and looked at each other.
Ji Zhixu was speechless. She looked at the guests leaving one after another from the main entrance. The dispersing noise made the huge manor return to emptiness and silence. Suddenly, the corners of her lips curled up and she said meaningfully, "An ordinary man is innocent, but treasuring a jade ring is a crime — Boss Lin once told me this."
Ji Bonong walked into the manor and said helplessly, "Do you have to speak in riddles with me? Boss Lin's meaning is so obvious. Are you afraid I won't understand? "
He sighed. "The greed of the human heart has always been immeasurable …"
Ji Zhixu followed him, her smile deepening. "But I'm afraid their strength doesn't match it."
—
After the guests left, the A16 manor, which had been lively for three whole days, became completely quiet. It was as if the singing and dancing of the day were just an illusion.
Ji Bonong walked in the semi-open corridor of the manor and looked at the garden outside. Although there was no more wind or snow, the sky was still dark.
For him, the familiar scenery of the past was completely different. The website of the website was m.9biquge. com
He looked down at his palms. The power he had gained after becoming an Extraordinary gathered in his body. The surging aether filled every corner of his body, as if it was excited and restless in anticipation of something.
Ji Zhixu followed behind him, holding the brass box containing the five books. The sound of the butler instructing the servants in the back hall to tidy up could be heard clearly. Even the sound of the snow melting outside seemed to be right next to his ears.
All these sounds, loud and soft, blended together, giving off an irritating and terrifying feeling.
Ji Bonong took a deep breath.
It seemed that … he still needed some time to get used to this power.
Or … it was a chance to practice.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks, the corner of his mouth raised into a contemptuous smile, and said in a calm tone, "If you want these five books, please come and buy them in three days according to the rules. The highest bidder gets them, and the rest is off the table. I've been doing business for so many years, and I don't have the habit of giving preferential treatment."
His voice echoed in the corridor. After waiting for a while, a low and hoarse male voice suddenly responded to him.
"Heh, Chairman Ji is so ambitious …"
A man in a black sorcerer's robe emerged from the shadows and appeared at the end of the corridor.
Right on the heels of that, as though they had received some sort of signal, a few whooshing sounds rang out as several supernatural beings appeared in different ways in the surroundings. These supernatural beings were all familiar faces to Ji Bonong, and they had not even removed their splendid attire for the banquet. They had no intention of concealing themselves at all.
Ji Bonong looked around and said with a smile, "Didn't everyone leave? Is it because the snow is too heavy and you want to stay overnight at my humble abode? "
"Don't play dumb, Ji Bonong."
The leader of the dark sorcerers took off his hood, revealing a ferocious and greedy face. It was Supervisor Aude. His gaze was fixed on the box in Ji Zhixu's hand. "You were the one who broke the rules first. Rohr Resources can only be controlled by mortals, and now you want to be above supernatural beings …"
A sacrificial knife slid down from the dark sorcerer's wide sleeve, and he held it in his hand in a battle stance. He said in a low voice, "You don't have the right to hold these five books!"
Ji Bonong sneered. "It's not up to you to decide whether I have the right or not."
Aude narrowed his eyes. "So, you're openly defying the central command and betraying the mission of Rohr Resources since its establishment?"
Ji Bonong sighed. "Mission? Are you talking about being a dog for supernatural beings like you? Generation after generation, every chairman of Rohr Resources is just a dog for you! Living under your surveillance, there will never be a day when you can turn things around. There will only be a fate that is arranged and a weakness that is controlled at will. "
He looked at his clenched fist. "I've had enough …"
Aude snorted coldly. "Have you had enough? This lofty status and almost endless wealth, the life that so many people dream of, yet you still think it's not enough. Isn't it your greed that's causing trouble? It seems that you've really been brainwashed by that bookstore. I have to get rid of you, this damned pest, for the central command! "
Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed out, turned into a black shadow, and appeared behind Ji Bonong in a flash. He raised his sacrificial knife and chanted a spell. At the same time, the other supernatural beings also activated their own abilities and used them on the two people in the center. The moment they got close —
"You're right. The greed of the human heart is indeed immeasurable."
Ji Bonong raised his head, and the veins on his face surged like earthworms. He cracked a terrifying smile. "Not only you, but also … me."
"Rip —"
The sound of flesh being torn suddenly reached their ears. One of the panic-grade supernatural beings, whose eyes were blinded by greed, seemed to have his abdomen pierced by an invisible hand. Blood splattered all over the corridor, and his internal organs instantly flowed all over the ground.
The supernatural being's expression had yet to change. He was half ferocious and half shocked.
He looked at the big hole in his abdomen and swayed twice. Before he fell, his body was torn into pieces in the next instant, and his limbs fell to the ground.
It was as if there was a rain of blood in the corridor.
Aude's pupils constricted. The other supernatural beings were all frightened and stopped moving at the same time. However, due to the temptation of the five books in the brass box, none of them chose to run at this moment.
Ji Bonong had indeed become a supernatural being!
This thought flashed through Aude's mind.
It was obvious that this was the result of the bookstore owner. According to the intelligence, Lin Jie and Ji Bonong had only been alone for less than half a night, and it had allowed him to reach the level where he could kill a panic-grade supernatural being in an instant.
The central command's attention was indeed not groundless …
"Is this what you're relying on?"
Aude shouted angrily, "You really betrayed the central command! You're dead meat! The central command will not tolerate a supernatural being controlling Rohr's resources. Whether it's you or that Lin Jie, you're both dead meat! "
"When Boss Lin said the snow won't melt, he was referring to the remnants of the old era like you, right? Heh, I don't need the central command to tolerate me. Let them be angry all they want … "
Ji Bonong stood where he was. An invisible force swept out again and cut another supernatural being in half. He spread his arms and said, "From today onwards, Rohr's resources will be separated from the central command and move towards freedom and independence! Do you see that? The era of freedom is coming. We'll be in control of ourselves! "
"The outcome of the battle has been decided. Winter will be over, and spring will be coming. This is something that no one can stop. When the sun shines, the snow will melt."
As soon as Ji Bonong's impassioned words fell, one of the hunters, stimulated by the fresh blood and the frenzied greed in his heart, completely unleashed his power. In an instant, his mind was completely swallowed up by the tainted blood, and he turned into a beast with an unrecognizable face and charged over.
His strength and speed had reached the extreme, and he even dodged Ji Bonong's attack.
Ji Bonong's attention was diverted for a moment.
Aude suddenly raised his hand, and the sleeves of his black wizard robe slid down. A strange bell carved from pale white bones was circled around his hand.
This was a sacrificial item from a strange ancient tribe in the lower city. It was a grade I supernatural item, and it could produce a bell sound that even Annihilation Grade beings could not resist.
"I'll let you know that your wishful thinking is nothing but a daydream!"
Aude laughed coldly and shook the bell. "You're only fit to become the nourishment for my ascension!"
The entire corridor was distorted, and it began to fall into an illusion. It was like countless mirrors, reflecting light, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.
"Ascension … Haha, then what about these five books? Are you going to hand them over to the central command? If you're really loyal to the central command, you should report me to them directly instead of coming here alone, Aude. "
Ji Bonong sneered. "Even at a time like this, you still don't forget to find excuses for your greed. You guys are really hopeless."
"Is there a need for trash like this to exist in this world?"
He muttered to himself. "It's better to let this world suffer less."
The supernatural beings who were just torn apart by Ji Bonong but still had some breath left in them let out heart-wrenching roars. Accompanied by the crisp sound of the bell, it was extremely ear-piercing.
Aude squinted his eyes and was ready to enjoy a more pleasurable wail. Then he suddenly stopped moving, and at that moment, his pupils dilated.
Ji Bonong suddenly disappeared.
Or rather, he turned into something else.
His body swelled up, and with his back facing the night sky, he cast a shadow on Aude's body. The high-quality robe was torn apart, and he suddenly turned into a huge monster.
Ji Bonong's eyes became incomparably huge, and countless worms rolled in his eyes like boiling water.
"You … You, you, you?!"
Aude was shocked, and his brain could not think at all.
No, this is definitely not a supernatural … What the hell, what did the owner of the bookstore do?!
"Ha, hahahaha …" Ji Bonong's voice became joyful, as if there were countless voices overlapping. "The current me, am I still the mortal in your eyes? Supervisor, you've been watching me for so many years. Have you seen clearly? "
Then, he slowly opened his abdomen. His body became flat and elongated like a skin bag. After his abdomen was separated, it was no longer organs, but countless hands.
"Take a closer look …"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Aude let out a shriek of despair as the rationality that had been seized by the five books finally returned to him. He desperately tried to escape, but he was pulled back by the countless hands that reached out from Ji Bonong's body.
Ji Bonong sneered and closed his body.
His body shrank back to its original form. Looking at the corridor that was completely covered in blood, he muttered, "If you want to take Boss Lin's book for free, you have to pay the price …"
