What am I looking at! How can I look at it casually? I can't even move!
Ackerman's pupils were trembling violently, representing the intense struggle in his heart at this moment.
He looked at the gentle and amiable smile of the bookstore owner and felt a deep sense of mockery and malice from it.
The bookstore owner's eyes were like looking at a clown who had walked into a trap. The more he seemed to be welcoming guests, the more condescending he was.
This guy must have seen through his disguise long ago!
Because he thought the other party knew nothing and pretended to be an ordinary customer and said, "I'm just looking around."
The bookstore owner used such a mocking way to reply, "You're just looking around."
He just wanted to see the fear and helplessness in the intruder's eyes. The meaning he wanted to express was too clear — this was a blatant threat and deterrence.
Didn't you just want to look around? Then look around, I won't stop you. You said you can't move? Sorry, this is just an unintentional mistake of my little pet.
Ackerman had never suffered such humiliation.
Killing people was just a matter of nodding the head to the ground, but the bookstore owner wanted to destroy his heart! Remember the URL: m.9biquge.com.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried to make himself move, it was useless.
The veins on his forehead were bulging and bursting, and the corners of his eyes were bloodshot. It could be said that he had exhausted all his strength.
He swore that under normal circumstances, his current strength was enough to directly smash all the buildings in the vicinity of the bookstore into the ground.
However, on the surface, he seemed to be frozen in place, maintaining the same posture as he looked at the rose. There was no other movement at all.
He was completely sealed by an invisible force, so he couldn't move at all.
What was even more terrifying was that Ackerman felt that he was "losing."
Something in the depths of his soul was being torn out by the eyes in the rose and "devoured."
If a more vivid analogy was used.
He felt like a slender jelly. He was originally tightly wrapped in plastic, but now, a hole had been torn open and he was being sucked out.
This was a very abstract feeling, but it made him feel a bone-deep fear. But what was even more terrifying was that he couldn't stop it and couldn't catch the part of himself that was losing.
Thus, he finally understood that it wasn't ether or some kind of invisible force that stopped him from moving. Thus, his strength didn't decrease at all, and he didn't feel any resistance.
What was restraining him was a power from the heart.
The rose's "eye" was telling him, "Don't move!" Thus, he really stopped moving.
What the hell is this?
Ackerman was terrified. As he looked at the rose, his anger and fear turned into helplessness and even pleading. In this short minute, he felt what despair was.
He couldn't imagine what would happen if he had to stay in this state until he died …
The extraordinary body of an Annihilation class hunter allowed him to live for three whole months without eating or drinking. When he died, his heart would only be filled with joy and relief.
The owner of this bookstore must be a devil who plays with people's hearts!
Ackerman screamed in his heart.

Lin Jie was in a very good mood today.
First, the seed he planted finally grew into a beautiful red rose seven days later.
It didn't seem right for a rose to bloom in seven days, and roses were clearly shrubs. It was strange that this thing had grown on its own.
But since the elfin lady said it was a rare species, it must have its own characteristics.
Many people nowadays wanted to raise flowers and plants to cultivate their temperament, but in reality, whatever they raised died. This flower's species, which grew quickly and was easy to raise, might be its selling point.
And it didn't say it was a rose. It might be a different species. It just looked a little like a rose.
Second, there was a new customer.
These few days, there were no old customers returning, nor were there any new customers.
There were signs of returning to the cold and deserted days.
Although he felt that those days of leisure were good, who wouldn't want to have a group of people to talk to and make a lot of money?
However, even though the explosion had attracted a group of people, his bookstore was still deserted and desolate.
Even the video store next door had more business, but there was no one in his bookstore.
This made Lin Jie reflect on whether or not to renovate the bookstore.
In fact, he had been fighting for the renovation.
However …
No renovation → can't attract customers → no business → no money → can't renovate.
This was an endless cycle!
Sigh, but it was fine. Wasn't there another customer now?
As long as it developed, it would be his meat.
Lin Jie was very happy to welcome the new customer and maintained his usual enthusiasm. His attitude was as warm as spring.
But when the customer said that they were just looking around, they didn't have much desire to buy. He had to find a way to stimulate them.
Lin Jie was thinking about this when he suddenly realized that the customer who had just said that he was just looking around had been standing by the counter for a long time.
He looked over with some confusion. "Customer, do you have anything else to ask? Didn't you say that you were just looking around? "
The customer didn't answer. His gaze was fixed on the counter.
Lin Jie followed his gaze and saw his own potted roses.
He suddenly understood. Then he reached out and moved the flowers in front of him where the light could shine. He smiled and said, "You also think that the flowers I planted are beautiful, right?"
He deliberately turned the front of the potted plant to the outside so that the guests could better see the beautiful scenery.
Although his bookstore was a little shabby, if he could see such a beautiful flower in such a place, the effect would definitely be more stunning than in a luxurious place.
It seemed that his efforts weren't in vain!
"Ha …"
As the position of the potted plants moved, Ackerman's gaze suddenly moved away from the abyss.
He suddenly took a deep breath as if he had been untied and shivered. Then, he watched with a pale face as the flower turned its eyeball a few times in front of the owner of the bookstore. Then, it turned back and hid in the petals.
Because of the sufficient light, Ackerman could clearly see that the inside of the temporarily opened bud was densely packed with squirming eyeballs …
He even suspected that he had been injected with too much tainted blood and was hallucinating. But when he looked up and saw the owner of the bookstore's warm smile, he knew that it wasn't an illusion.
It was a real purgatory.
Ackerman took a deep breath. "Beautiful, very beautiful …"
He suddenly didn't want to get the Annihilation certification at all. He also didn't want to find Wang Erde. Those ambitions and desires had disappeared. He just wanted to sit on a recliner and think about the meaning of life.
