A burst of urgent footsteps interrupted the tranquility of Mansion No. 72 in the Central District.
The maid went upstairs and gently pushed open the master's room.
The master hadn't gone out for three days. If this continued, she would be starving, right?
"Miss Maria?"
The maid opened the door and saw the person who was curled up in bed. Since her master, President Maria, came back from the slums, she rushed home crying as if she had seen a ghost. She locked herself in the house and didn't go out for three days.
As a scientific research family, Maria inherited her parents' business and became the president of the Truth Society through her own efforts. The maid who had watched her grow up saw Maria so frightened for the first time.
The maid plucked up her courage and walked to the bed. She saw that the person under the quilt was like a little girl, trembling non-stop.
The maid lifted the quilt, and Maria screamed like a frightened bird. Her face was pale, her eyes were red and swollen, and her hands and feet were cold. In just three days, she seemed to have lost weight.
"Miss … Maria?" The maid slightly opened her mouth and was frightened by her condition.
Maria was trembling, and her eyes were empty. Although she maintained herself, she had lost her mind forever.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" The maid asked anxiously. Remember the URL: m.9biquge.com.
"Life, life has come to an end. The goddess who protected human life and reproduction has completely disappeared …" She choked and said.
The Life Witch had saved her several times in the Lower City District, and she had almost become the vessel of the Life Witch. Now that she had fallen, she could clearly feel it.
The Life Witch was the embodiment of the rules of human life in the entire A Zier Continent. As the rule of reproduction and survival, her fall meant that human beings were like a piece of paper that could be torn at any time.
Maria, who had completely accepted this fact, had lost her mind forever.

Brion Heathley took out an exquisite pocket watch from his high-end custom-made suit and stared at it until the hands turned to ten o 'clock. He put away the pocket watch and looked out of the window.
The outside of the car was shaking as if it was floating in water. The greenery was neat, and there were high-end shops on both sides of the street. Most of the people here had been doing business for generations.
"Under the control of the central government, Nuo Jin is really great …" Brion suddenly sighed and turned to look at the well-dressed driver sitting in the front row.
"That's right, Master," the driver quickly replied.
"Yeah, there isn't even a single poor person in Nuo Jin." Brion continued to sigh. "Just by looking at such a happy and prosperous Nuo Jin, I feel that my hard work and efforts have not been in vain."
"Master, you're really kind."
Of course, this was the Central District. How could there be poor people here … The driver complained in his heart, but of course, he didn't dare to say it out loud. The old man in front of him wasn't a simple person.
"Indeed, I'm too soft-hearted to see the poor." Brion sighed.
He was actually one of the heads of the Judiciary Bureau that controlled the entire Nuo Jin.
He was the most respected person in Nuo Jin.
The so-called Adjudicating Bureau was the central authority that controlled Nuo Jin. They had inherited their positions from generation to generation. Their ancestors were the twelve great men who created Nuo Jin.
As the descendant of the great men, Brion Heathley also became a member of the Adjudicating Bureau by virtue of his own excellence. Although his position wasn't very high, otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to inquire about the bookstore owner's branch.
Half a month ago, the Adjudicating Bureau gathered under the inverted tree thousands of meters below the Central Central Park. In the end, they came to two conclusions. One was to wait for the Road of Fire Sword to make a move against Lin Jie. The second was to inquire about the purpose of Lin Jie's branch.
Brion, as the youngest member of the old men and women, was very confident in accepting this task to inquire about the purpose of the bookstore owner's branch.
Unfortunately, Brion didn't think that the bookstore was very strong.
Brion found that the owner of the bookstore was alone from the beginning to the end. His only companion was the assistant who came to open the branch. Although he had shown power beyond imagination several times, Brion still maintained a skeptical attitude.
Lin Jie's behavior was changeable, and it was impossible to accurately guess his purpose.
If there was no purpose, then what was he doing these things for? But if there was a purpose, with the strength he showed now, he could directly destroy Nuo Jin, but he didn't do so. Instead, he kept distributing his power, opening branches, and developing his own forces.
A real powerhouse disdained to cooperate with ants. If Lin Jie could surpass the strength of the Tree Witch, he would have already made a move.
Therefore, Brion took the initiative to inquire about the purpose of Lin Jie's branch.
If this matter is done, then he can undoubtedly quickly become the central figure of the Adjudicating Bureau.
"Master, we're here." The driver parked the car in Area A, No. 48. The original Fred family mansion was completely renovated, and the wide door was too luxurious for a bookstore.
Brion got out of the car and could see that there was only a delicate girl in this big bookstore.
Brion remembered that this girl used to be an Android of the Truth Society, but now she has been transformed into a real girl by Lin Jie. Her strength is difficult to judge.
"Welcome." Before Brion had fully entered, Moen had already bowed to him like a robot.
The branch had just opened, and Brion was the first customer. From a certain point of view, he was the first person to be tested by Boss Lin.
Brion leaned on his cane and walked to the front of the bookstore counter with a smile.
"Hello, Miss, your bookstore is really luxurious." Brion said with a smile, "This kind of decent bookstore is really suitable for the atmosphere of the Central District."
Moen didn't answer and looked at him as if he was looking at an ant. Brion had never been looked at like this before. He wanted to refute, but he was suppressed by Moen's gaze to the point that he couldn't breathe.
Moen's bookstore was not like Lin Jie's inexhaustible books, but the books were personally selected by Boss Lin.
Moen and Vincent agreed that this was Boss Lin's trust in them. Hence, they figured out the general content of each book but didn't read them. After all, if they were really allowed to read, even Moen and Vincent would fall into a frenzy.
"Since you've walked into this bookstore, are you ready for the trial?" Moen's dark eyes reflected a bright light, like the stars in the night sky.
"What? Trial? "Brion looked at Moen in confusion. This was different from what he had expected.
According to the information in the Central District, the bookstore owner would first show off when selling books, and then pretend to be a bookstore owner. He wouldn't do anything to ordinary people, and he didn't like people mentioning his powerful identity, nor would he easily show his divine power.
Brion wanted to use this conversation to find out the identity of the bookstore owner.
But this young girl had actually used her powerful Extraordinaire status to firmly suppress him the moment he came in.
The girl in white had already turned and walked to the dark bookshelf. She picked out a book from it and held it in front of Brion as if it was a treasure.
Moen stroked his hair and tucked it behind his ears, looking a little demure. If the book in her hand was ignored, the book with the smooth cover …
It looked like, like a human skin book?! Brion's eyes widened slightly.
"Maybe letting you really appreciate Boss Lin's works can change you a little." Moen tilted his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly because of Boss Lin's book.
