"No …" Maria struggled, but her body was controlled by the black shadow. She wanted to break free, but she found that her body was separated from her soul uncontrollably.
She could feel that her soul was being torn out of her body, and she couldn't help but scream in horror.
Maria didn't dare to struggle anymore. She knew that if she moved, she would really die. This black shadow wasn't controlling her body, but her soul.
"Are you okay, Ms. Maria?" Lin Jie came out from behind the counter and wanted to support Maria, who seemed to have a seizure.
"Ah!!"
The moment Maria saw Lin Jie, she screamed at the top of her lungs. Her pale blue pupils shrank, and she showed a horrified expression as if she had seen a ghost. Her originally calm, quiet, and arrogant face was distorted beyond words.
"Help! Help, help!! " Maria was completely seized by fear. She shook off Lin Jie's hand and opened her eyes wide. She could clearly see that the black shadow that had just controlled her was standing behind Lin Jie.
Quietly, noiselessly, he stared at her like that.
"Ah, Ms. Maria, calm down."
Lin Jie saw Maria gasping for breath. It seemed that something extremely terrifying had appeared in front of her, and the object of her fear … was behind him.
Lin Jie suddenly turned his head and saw Little Black. Remember the URL: m.9biquge.com.
The harmless Little Black that could help repair light bulbs and turn on the power switch.
"Little Black." Lin Jie was stunned and subconsciously whispered.
The black shadow tilted its head and disappeared in an instant. Maria seemed to have lost the object of her game and fell to the ground like a rag bag.
Maria was afraid … It was Little Black that had stood behind him without him knowing.
Lin Jie's view of Little Black was that of gratitude. After all, it gave him the entire human world's library and realized his biggest dream.
Moreover, Xiao Hei was very friendly and had never hurt his friends, including Mo En Yue Sefu. He had also never affected the other customers in the bookstore. Therefore, Lin Jie regarded Xiao Hei as a spirit creature in the anime that he had seen before.
As for Little Hei's purpose and identity, Lin Jie didn't care. After all, everyone had their own secrets. Moreover, he had never felt Little Hei's malice, and it didn't appear often.
But today was different.
This was the first time Blackie had appeared in front of others, and it seemed to have struck fear into them.
This was the first time Little Black attacked a customer of the bookstore, and from a certain point of view, Little Black did nothing wrong.
Even though Lin Jie appeared very friendly, he could clearly feel that Maria was here to cause trouble. After all, Hood's matter was still there.
Moreover, Blackie looked like a ghost to a certain extent. It was normal for an ordinary person like Maria to be frightened.
"Madam!" Lin Jie forcefully grabbed Maria's shoulders and forced her to calm down. Then, he smiled and comforted her. "There's nothing here. What happened to you just now?"
After hearing this, Maria's pale and blank face came back to her senses. She seemed to have calmed down a little. She stared blankly at Lin Jie's warm smile that was releasing a friendly aura. Lin Jie squinted and said with a smile, "Look, our bookstore is very clean. There's nothing here."
As he spoke, a huge black shadow gradually expanded behind him. The black shadow existed behind his smile, and even his entire body was shrouded in shadows. Countless dark tentacles extended from the shadows, like the head of a snake-haired banshee, waving about.
Lin Jie's gentle words of comfort turned into a terrifying threat.
"You, you, you, you …" Maria stuttered in horror. Before Lin Jie could react, she had already taken several steps back. She almost rolled and crawled out of the bookstore as if there was a terrifying existence behind her. No matter how Lin Jie tried to persuade her to stay, she didn't care.
Lin Jie was speechless.
Did she have to run like this? She even dropped her things …
Lin Jie frowned and picked up an old notebook that Maria had dropped on the ground. Looking at Maria running away, he sighed and turned around. The moment he turned around, Blackie, who was baring his fangs and brandishing his claws, instantly shrank into a black shadow that was about his size.
"What's wrong with you today? What are you trying to do? " Lin Jie's tone was a little unhappy and confused. He said in a low voice, "You clearly want me to spread the book. Why did you scare her away? Isn't this the task you gave me? "
Blackie didn't move. He was like a child who had failed in his prank and was obediently listening to Lin Jie's scolding.
"But … it seems like you want to keep that fragment?" Lin Jie walked back to the counter and looked at the three fragments on the table.
Lin Jie looked at Blackie, pointed at the fragment, and said, "Do you want to eat this?"
Blackie didn't have any reaction. He just quietly faced Lin Jie.
If Blackie wanted to eat this stone tablet fragment that came from the Life Witch, did it mean that Blackie was an enemy of the Life Witch?
Blackie brought Lin Jie here. Now it seemed that it wasn't a coincidence. It was because Blackie came from here.
He understood this place, and he needed something here.
So Blackie … What role did he play in the history of A Zier Continent?
Lin Jie pondered and stared at the black shadow in front of him.
After a moment, Lin Jie took a deep breath, slowly raised his hand, and reached out to the black shadow.
Lin Jie didn't know why he was doing this. She probably wanted to touch Little Black, right? This was the first time he had tried to do this since he met Blackie a few years ago.
What was in the shadow? Was it a solid body, or was it as cold as water?
Unexpectedly, Lin Jie's pupils suddenly contracted. He suddenly saw Blackie do the same thing!
It seemed to be imitating him. The two reached out at the same time, and their fingertips touched in an instant.
Lin Jie's fingertips clearly emitted a temperature that he had never expected before. This temperature seemed to be similar to the temperature of his own hand. Lin Jie was slightly stunned and wanted to take a step further to touch Little Black.
But he disappeared in the next moment. Like a flickering TV signal, he suddenly blurred and was then erased.
Lin Jie's fingertips stopped in midair, as if no one had ever appeared.
Lin Jie retracted his hand and looked at his empty palm. It was as if he could still feel a trace of reality.
Blackie … was a human?
Lin Jie shook his head. A human couldn't be in this form. Maybe he just used a human form to simulate a temperature similar to his.
And … Blackie probably didn't want to eat the Life Witch's fragment.
After all, just like the Golden Apple incident, if Blackie wanted it, he would have taken it away on the spot.
Lin Jie pulled his thoughts back from Blackie and looked down at the three fragments on the table again.
Lin Jie frowned and carefully put the three fragments together with a serious expression. As Lin Jie expected, the three fragments were perfectly put together, as if they had never been broken.
Lin Jie took out a magnifying glass from the drawer. The inscriptions on the round stone tablet could be clearly seen.
"Life does not rest, the flame does not extinguish … what and what?" Lin Jie read. This ancient language was different from the Elvish language of the Second Era. It seemed to be a variant of an even older language. Although he could recognize it, there were always some parts that he couldn't recognize, just like how people nowadays who learned simplified Chinese characters could recognize traditional Chinese characters.
The light in the bookstore gradually dimmed. Lin Jie looked up and found that it was getting dark.
So he walked to the door and looked at the desolate 23rd Street. He suddenly thought of Maria's experience today. The president of the Truth Society wouldn't call the police, right?
It's useless to call the police … The police's main fighting force is in my store.
It doesn't seem possible to exorcise ghosts … Lin Jie was mostly responsible for the establishment of the largest church in Nuo Jin.
Well … there's nothing to worry about.
I just hope that Maria's rationality as a scholar is still stable.
"Whoosh." He closed the shutter door of the bookstore. The bookstore fell into darkness and then suddenly lit up. Lin Jie turned around and saw that the stone tablet on the table was emitting a faint dark red light.
