"Did you mistake me for someone else?" Lin Jie asked doubtfully.
Lin Jie had already seen a witch as powerful as Silver, so he wasn't nervous when encountering an existence of the same level.
Although he was only the owner of a bookstore, Lin Jie was someone who had seen the world. He had stopped the terrorist attack at the Path of Fire Sword and helped establish the Sun God Sect, which was one of the best in the world. There was even a big shot from the former police station in the store …
Therefore, in the face of the Life Witch's somewhat unfriendly attitude, Lin Jie didn't panic, but he was a little surprised.
"Mistake me for someone else?"
The Life Witch narrowed her eyes slightly. The situation was a little different from what she had imagined.
Lin Jie looked at the Life Witch who was becoming more and more dangerous and fierce. He felt that not all witches were as beautiful and kind as Silver.
However, the Life Witch only had half a human face. The other half was full of scales, and her body was almost made of flames. These flames flowed on her body like magma, emitting a high temperature like a cloak, as if it could burn the surrounding bookshelves at any time.
She looked very scary, didn't she?
"Yes." Lin Jie nodded cautiously. "You've mistaken me for someone else."
The Life Witch was a little hesitant. The person in front of her did seem to be a human. From the aura, although it was mixed with an evil and disgusting smell, the essence seemed to be … She looked around. The endless bookshelves were filled with eternal and familiar darkness. The entire bookstore seemed to be an endless black hole. The first website was m.9biquge. com
No! He was speaking a flowery speech! A thousand years ago, she was swallowed by the "darkness" and fell. She thought that she could escape and leave the coordinates, waiting for the instructions of fate to revive. However, she didn't expect that today, a thousand years later, she would be revived in the stomach of an evil god.
Lin Jie saw that the Life Witch didn't speak anymore. She seemed to have calmed down and could talk.
Lin Jie cleared his throat and said, "My name is Lin Jie. I'm an ordinary bookstore owner, but I was lucky enough to come in contact with Silver and learned a lot from her. You should know her, right?"
Lin Jie kept talking about his identity, but the Life Witch seemed to see through his current identity and into a darker place behind him.
His shadow continued to expand as he rambled on. In the end, it was an endless dark hole. It was not a terrifying monster, nor was it a powerful force. It was just pure darkness. This darkness seemed to be able to devour everything.
The universe, the starry sky, all things, all life … would be devoured by it.
And this was what the Life Witch feared the most. Her face was already half-human, half-beast, and now, in the flames, her entire face was distorted.
The Life Witch closed her eyes, and her fiery red eyes were covered. She hoped to resist this powerful and terrifying fear by sinking herself into the darkness she had created.
"That's why …" Lin Jie earnestly explained his identity, but he saw the Life Witch close her eyes.
Lin Jie frowned. Only then did he realize that the Life Witch was not listening to him at all. Moreover, because the flames on her body were burning fiercely, they were gradually spreading.
Lin Jie's first concern was the books on the bookshelf next to him. A trace of anger surged in his heart, but he still politely said, "Wait, can you restrain your flames?"
In the past and now, he could tolerate people being rude to him, and he could also forgive people acting rashly. However, if someone wanted to destroy his books, then he would really be angry …
The Life Witch closed her eyes tightly and said in a low voice, "I'll never mistake you for anyone. I was born to be your enemy. If you want me to extinguish this flame of my own accord, don't even think about it!"
She did not know how many years had passed. She had once set up a bonfire to illuminate a part of the world. In the endless darkness, if she was not careful, she would be devoured. She kept countless humans as pets just for a sense of security.
"Whether it's the past or the present, I will continue to light this flame. This flame will burn brighter and brighter until it burns all of your evil lair!"
She suddenly opened her eyes, and the flames spread out like wings. They turned into monstrous flames that engulfed everything and rushed towards Lin Jie.
Lin Jie subconsciously wanted to use the aether stored in his Dream Space to protect the books, but he forgot to dodge.
The next moment.
The huge black shadow that had been entrenched behind him suddenly expanded …
Rip —
Lin Jie opened his eyes wide and looked at everything in front of him. His shadow turned into a mysterious black mass that gradually began to twist and transform into numerous tentacles. The tentacles tied the Life Witch up the moment she rushed towards him, and the next second, they tore her apart.
The red flames were like flowing blood, and hot magma splashed out. In an instant, the Life Witch's face twisted in pain, and her limbs were broken and torn apart.
However, Lin Jie's first thought was … Was the blood or flames too hot? Would they burn the floor and bookshelves?
It was also when this thought appeared that the floor turned into a deep black hole except for where he was standing. The Life Witch's blood that was like a furnace evaporated in an instant before it touched the floor.
"Ah —!"
The Life Witch let out the last cry of her life. This time, she couldn't escape, and she couldn't set up her coordinates like thousands of years ago.
Perhaps this darkness had been waiting for him for thousands of years, or it could be said that the history of thousands of years didn't exist for it at all. Time couldn't wear it down at all. It had already seen through everything and was waiting for this moment.
The Life Witch's head was crushed by the black tentacles, and the eyeballs on the half-human face rolled to Lin Jie's feet. Lin Jie lowered his head and looked at the Life Witch, and the Life Witch's eyeballs seemed to be still staring at him.
To be honest, it looked a little scary …
This thought slowly emerged in Lin Jie's mind, and then the eyeballs were eaten by the darkness.
In the blink of an eye, the Life Witch was completely devoured, and the fire of life that had protected the continuation of human reproduction from ancient times was completely extinguished.
After eating the Life Witch, the expanding darkness began to shrink slowly, and turned into a humanoid shadow that stood in front of Lin Jie.
Lin Jie looked around. It was as if nothing had happened, and even the book on the counter hadn't changed at all.
"Little Black, you … ate the life?" Lin Jie smacked his lips and asked with a little surprise.
Little Black didn't answer, but just looked at Lin Jie like a ghost, but Lin Jie already knew the answer.
Maybe the Life Witch didn't recognize the wrong person, but the person she was afraid of wasn't Lin Jie, but Little Black behind Lin Jie … If that was the case, then the Life Witch was indeed wronged.
Moreover, the reason Little Black took the life coordinates was that he really wanted to eat the Life Witch. He didn't eat the stone tablet directly because he wanted to be fresh …
In the legends of the Life Witches, there had always been stories of using bonfires to resist the darkness, and that darkness might be the evil god that destroyed the ancient Elven Kingdom and made all creatures fall into madness.
Could it be that Little Black was that evil god?
Lin Jie's face suddenly became a little complicated.
But Little Black had never harmed him, and even helped him achieve many small things that could have been ignored. From the time he transmigrated to the present, he had always been on Lin Jie's side, and just now too …
Lin Jie looked at Little Black. He wanted to ask him if he was a bad person, but he felt that his question was a little naive.
Maybe there was no justice and evil in this world. Lin Jie thought that he was kind. From the time he was born until now, he had helped countless people, and he wasn't inferior to Vincent in the slightest. Every customer who came to this bookstore, no matter if they were down and out or poor, he would do his best to enlighten them and save them.
Lin Jie was a good person, and no one who knew him would refute this.
But the Life Witch just attacked him indiscriminately, and wanted to … kill him.
Who was right and who was wrong?
He looked at the round "wedge" again. It had lost its light and turned into an ordinary broken stone.
If it wasn't for Little Black, he would have died.
"Thank you, Little Black, for saving me just now."
