As a professional, Caroline had extraordinary composure and calmness. Her mental fortitude and personal strength were among the best even in the Miyie Tower.
Otherwise, the Elder Council wouldn't have chosen her to come into contact with a God-level that they didn't have clear information on yet.
Before carrying out a mission, they would definitely have sufficient preparation.
Before Caroline came to the bookstore, she had carefully reviewed the reports from the beginning to the end. After integration, the files of the Class I area 0113 had been compiled.
This included the initial template provided by Yue Sefu, as well as the information of other "bookstore customers" recorded in front of her.
There were also some scattered opinions and speculations left behind by various departments of the Miyie Tower.
If she hadn't been fully prepared, she wouldn't have rashly come over to talk to a God-level.
She clearly knew that the owner of this bookstore had God-level power, and she also knew some of his general behavior and logic.
First of all, he played the role of an ordinary bookstore owner in this bookstore, and this bookstore would provide customers who entered the bookstore with three services: "borrowing books, buying books, and reading books."
However, from the current information and her personal experience this time, it seemed that the owner of the bookstore actually preferred to do good deeds and chat with others.
As long as they didn't harbor evil intentions toward him or have some doubts or even disrespectful thoughts. The first website was m.9biquge. com
He wouldn't make a move, or rather, he wouldn't make a move himself.
Therefore, Yue Sefu, who had an unfriendly attitude at the beginning, was only unconscious. Compared to other God-levels, the owner of the bookstore was indeed worthy of this "friendly" evaluation.
Secondly, he had near-omniscient power. This was learned from the conversation between the vice president of the Truth Society, Andrew, and Iris Sage Doris.
An Annihilation-level powerhouse had personally verified it.
Therefore, it was best not to hide your inner thoughts, and don't think that you could be lucky enough to hide it.
Finally, all the books in the bookstore were written in taboo languages with unusual powers.
These books themselves might not be powerful, and they weren't done overnight, but they must have been carefully selected by the owner of the bookstore. They would definitely be able to solve the problem at the time.
This was his selfless and generous gift.
As for the fees charged, they were nothing compared to the value of the books. Presumably, this was also a kind of acting hobby of the owner of the bookstore.
When Caroline heard that Lin Jie had asked her to stay and read the books, she wasn't shocked or surprised.
Instead, there was a kind of excitement and anticipation that "it's finally here".
She looked at the rows of bookshelves in the bookstore. Those neatly arranged books seemed unreal under the dim light, as if they were shrouded in some kind of illusion.
But there was no doubt that a sense of mystery crept into Caroline's heart, causing her mind to tremble.
"Can I … see for myself?"
Caroline's soul seemed to be seized by a higher level of mystery as she asked subconsciously.
After she finished speaking, she came to her senses and looked at Lin Jie nervously. She thought to herself, Oh no, what if the owner of the bookstore had intended to recommend a book to her directly? Would she offend him by doing this?
Lin Jie didn't really care. A recommendation was just a recommendation. Customers were free to shop on their own.
For example, the office worker named Ackerman had suggested to walk around casually at the beginning, and he had respected him.
When doing business, he never forced people to buy or sell. Everything was done by persuading them with reason and emotion.
What's more, he had already seen the obvious temptation in the other party's expression and gaze. Obviously, it was very tiring to come out to work on this terrible rainy day. She was definitely very happy to have a place to rest reasonably.
At this time, he had already turned a market research staff member who originally had no desire to buy into a potential customer. No matter how much he said, it wouldn't have a more obvious effect.
After all, she had a mission to begin with, and it was quite difficult to evaluate the value of opening a store in such a large area. Her desire to buy books wouldn't be so strong.
Let her feel it for herself.
Lin Jie smiled and adjusted the books on the bookshelves into novels and essays. He picked up the boiling electric kettle and poured a glass of water. "Of course, you can look at the books here and chat with me. This is also part of your job, isn't it?"
He pushed the glass over, hinting that she could slack off during the research process.
"There's no rush to evaluate things like the mission."
Caroline breathed a sigh of relief and took the glass handed over by the owner of the bookstore. Looking at the white mist curling up, she felt that he was indeed very friendly.
Obviously, she did come with the purpose of evaluation, and the owner of the bookstore knew it clearly in his heart, but he was so tolerant and easygoing to her.
No wonder Yue Sefu chose to hand over the demon sword to him.
Not only did he have great strength, but he also had this indiscriminate kindness …
At this moment, she had already made a decision in her heart. Seeing that the owner of the bookstore had already started reading his book again, she hesitated for a moment, then stood up with the glass in her hand and walked to the rows of bookshelves behind the counter.
Only when she got closer did she realize that the bookstore wasn't as narrow as it looked at first impression.
There were thirteen rows of bookshelves behind the counter, and each row was more than five meters long. It was only because the light was dim and they were arranged closely together, and the ground was piled with books that the entire bookstore felt very cramped.
She slowly walked past the rows of bookshelves, her gaze lingering on the spines of the books.
The Book of the Dead, The Flower of Dreamland, Chasing Shadows of the Old Days …
The name of each book made her heart beat wildly.
This was information that no one had ever come into contact with before. But even though she was excited in her heart, she still remained calm on the surface. She just recorded the title of the book and didn't dare to take it down casually.
In the end, her gaze landed on a book called "The Staring Eye".
This … should be a book about some kind of investigative skill, right?
Appraising and evaluating a certain matter, a certain item, and a certain person's level of danger were all her job. To her, this was a very important ability.
Caroline wasn't sure. She reached out and took the book down. She took a deep breath and slowly opened it.
Surreptitiously, darkly, she was horribly aware that a pair of eyes seemed to be staring at her from behind.
And in front of her, the taboo words that came to her face drowned her reason.

"This, this book … Is it okay?"
Lin Jie raised his head and glanced at the book in Caroline's hand.
"Seeing You Off" … It was also a classic collection of emotional essays. But he didn't expect that such a domineering OL would also like this kind of delicate and sad type of book.
But her voice seemed to be trembling a little, and her face was a little pale. It seemed that she had some feelings when reading the book?
It seemed that one couldn't judge a book by its cover. She seemed to have a sensitive heart.
Lin Jie put the book into the bag and said, "Are you okay? Sigh, this kind of book can be a little uncomfortable sometimes, but it will be over soon."
Caroline forced a smile and said, "It's indeed … uncomfortable. I should be able to get used to it soon. Thank you."
— —
Caroline walked out of the bookstore, turned on the communication device in the rain, and sent the results of the evaluation to the elders.
"Phew …"
She let out a long breath. Her face was a little pale as she touched her eyes and couldn't help but shiver.
The feeling of having her eyes gouged out by countless sticky tentacles and replaced with a new one was something she didn't want to experience again in her life.
The new eyes were like living creatures squirming. When she stared at something, she could see countless information attached to it appear and disappear.
