'It's just … a simple job?'
Hearing this, the girl looked at the bookshelves around her. Her body tensed up subconsciously, and she pursed her lips without saying a word.
Just by lying here, she could feel such a terrifying and heavy atmosphere. It was hard to imagine what these books, bookshelves, and the entire bookstore were.
She didn't even dare to close her eyes now, because according to her current perception, once she closed her eyes, the creepy feeling would be infinitely magnified …
At that time, the scene in front of her wouldn't be this dim and shabby bookstore in the dark.
Instinctively, she didn't want to be in close contact with these things every day. Just thinking about it made her hair stand on end.
But if she didn't agree …
In a better situation, she would continue to face the pursuit of the Truth Society. Perhaps she could successfully escape, but the following days would still be full of uncertainty and confusion for her.
Apart from the information she learned from the Truth Society, she knew almost nothing about the outside world.
But if she couldn't get rid of the pursuit, perhaps … her real life would only last for a few days before coming to an end.
In a worse situation, if she refused, she might not even be able to walk out of the bookstore's door. The first website was m.9biquge. com
As an android who had just left the culture fluid and hadn't been exposed to such a complicated situation, the girl's little brain was now a bit blank.
If she weighed it, the danger level of both sides seemed to be about the same?
In fact, it seemed that staying here was the best choice.
Provide a new identity, provide protection, and the price was …
"If you don't want to, I won't force you. You have your own plans, and I won't interfere. Don't be so nervous."
Lin Jie saw the hesitation and nervousness on the girl's face. He stood up and smiled. "Don't think so much for the time being. Let's talk about it after you recover.
Before you recover, I will still take you in. After that, whether you stay or leave … is up to you. "
He reached out and helped the girl up, put her hand on his shoulder, and gestured for her to lie down on his back.
"It's just that the new identity, or the subsequent troubles, will have to be solved by you. After all, I'm just an ordinary bookstore owner, not a charity."
Solving some problems for customers within his ability, or turning into a life coach for psychological counseling, these were all long-term investments. He wanted to get closer to customers and make them trust him.
Even if he didn't have a book he wanted to buy, he would think of it as he chatted, right?
In other words, this was an equivalent exchange.
However, the girl he picked up was different. She was not a stable source of customers and could even bring unpredictable dangers.
No matter how kind and enthusiastic Lin Jie was, it was impossible for him to help a complete stranger for nothing.
The girl hesitated for a moment before slowly placing her hands on Lin Jie's shoulders. She then climbed onto his back in a very jerky manner.
Lin Jie reached out to support the girl's slender thigh, carefully avoiding the wound, and walked towards the stairs.
"I don't have any extra rooms here. You can sleep on my bed first. I'll sleep on the recliner. I'll buy a new bed tomorrow."
The girl stared at the back of his head without blinking. The warmth of the man's body pressed against her skin, giving her a completely different experience.
So close, so hot … I can even hear your heartbeat.
Lin Jie went upstairs and opened the bedroom door. After taking two steps in, he felt that the girl behind him seemed to be nervous. Her two hands were tightly gripping the back of his collar.
"What's wrong?"
He turned around and saw the girl's gaze fall on the Dream Catcher on his bedside. He smiled and said, "It's pretty, isn't it? One of my old customers gave it to me. It's a local product that can make people have good dreams. It's called the Dream Catcher.
Good dreams?
Was he referring to the Abyss Predator that was emitting an aura?
When she was 277, she saw the same spider web fragments in the laboratory. They were placed in layers of protective arrays to protect them.
It was said that they came from a type of dream beast called the Abyss Predator. They had the power to weave small dreamscapes and drag people into terrifying dreamscapes that were full of illusions to slowly kill them.
And here, it seemed to be made into some kind of casting tool.
This "old customer" … What kind of existence was he?
But … No matter how she thought about it, this kind of strange thing couldn't make people have good dreams. If it was tested to be effective, how did he know?
Thinking of this, the girl's gaze was attracted to the longsword on the table.
At this time, Lin Jie also said, "And that sword. It's a souvenir from a customer. It's a symbol of the family's glory. It's very precious."
Compared to the Dream Catcher, the longsword's aura was much more righteous. It was grand and magnificent, but the white flame-like brilliance was equally dangerous.
The sword seemed to have been casually placed on the table. It was as if the owner of this bedroom was a knight who was skilled in killing. Even when he was sleeping, his weapon would not be far away from him.
He could pull out the sword at any time and behead any intruder.
On the surface, it looked like he had placed her in his bedroom, but in fact, this was a blatant warning …
Lin Jie felt that the girl behind him seemed to be more nervous after hearing his explanation. He thought that she might be more afraid of the new environment. He put her on the bed and took out his spare clothes from the closet. He handed them to her and said, "Don't worry, no one will hurt you here. If you feel scared, just call me."
The girl took the clothes and silently thought, There really isn't any "person" here …
She raised her head and asked without any rhyme or reason, "Human … Is the temperature of a human's body this high?"
For the time being, she would just treat this man as a human.
"High?" Lin Jie laughed involuntarily. He touched her forehead with his hand and said, "You're too cold. This is a sign of excessive blood loss. Remember to cover yourself with a blanket at night."
He pulled the blanket from the side and said, "I only have things for myself here, so I'll just put up with this for now."
After putting on her clothes, the girl lay down and obediently covered herself with the blanket. She looked at him with a pair of black eyes, like a chick that had just hatched and wanted to imprint the first image she saw into her mind.
Lin Jie put away the sword on the table to avoid scaring the little girl. Suddenly, he thought of something and turned his head to say, "Since you don't have a name, do you want to give yourself a new one?"
The girl nodded.
"Do you have any ideas? If not, I'll help you come up with one. "
Lin Jie looked at the sky outside the window. The dark clouds that had covered Nuo Jin for a month had finally dispersed, revealing a trace of the bright moon.
"Moon, how is it? From today onwards, your name is Moon. "
