I’m Really Not The Demon God’s Lackey

408 - Fire Monument, Wedge of Life

"Nuojin's industrial pollution is getting more and more serious.

As usual, Lin Jie got up early to open the door of the bookstore, looking at the thick fog outside and having a headache.

I often don't see a little sun for several days in a row, but Lin Jie doesn't mind it. He has been a mansion for more than 20 years in the 21st century.

Male; After coming to Nuojin, I can just use the severe smog and home isolation as an excuse not to go out.

But today's fog' is really too big, and it has reached the point of "three meters indistinguishable between men and women, five meters indistinguishable between people and animals".

The white mist that rises high is like a woman's white gauze skirt. This mist without vital signs is also like a skirt.

It flows slowly against the ground, as if it were a living thing.

Lin Jie looked outside through the open store door, and the thick fog could not help but remind people of the "fog capital" of the earth.

The bookstore was quiet and no one was there. Moen had already gone to the branch in the central district to take care of it, while Joseph went to the equipment market to help purchase the new store.

The tools used, only Lin Jie-person stayed in the empty bookstore.

Lin Jie was very curious about Joseph's suspected performance beyond ordinary people's abilities last time, but it is a pity that Moen and Joseph-Zhi

So busy that he couldn't sit down and talk to them properly.

When Morn has completely set up a branch in the central area, the retired Joseph will be my new assistant in the old bookstore. By then, there should be

a lot of time to ask. he

Lin Jie thought so, then just like before, he picked up a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it.

But what surprised him was that he had read this book.

"Books taken at random from the bookshelf should not be repeated. This is a library of books on the entire earth."

Lin Jie picked up a few more books in disbelief, but found that they were still repeated.

He had read every book, and he knew exactly what should appear on the next page.

Lin Jie had to come up with a terrifying but reasonable idea: "Is it not that the book is repeating, but because I have already

Have you read all the books?"

This is impossible! .

That is a library of books on the whole earth. How could it take three years to read them all? It must be Xiao Hei who made a mistake.

It seems that I have to find time to ask Xiao Hei, otherwise the next day will be so boring. "

Lin Jie nodded and put the book back again.

Then he frowned and found that it was already past the early morning and the sun should come out, but the fog became thicker and thicker.

However, he floated into the bookstore along the open store door, like a few remnants of unwilling souls.

At this time, looking outside again, this thick gray fog has become like a thick barrier, and it is impossible to even identify the road.

It seems that it is impossible to open the store today - Lin Jie put down the book, walked to the gate of the newly installed second floor rolling shutter, and reached out to force the gate.

Pull down, the roller shutter 1] makes a rattling sound.

Sudden

A hand slightly larger than normal, wrapped in black gloves, reached in at the moment when the roller shutter was about to close, and moved the roller shutter.

The whereabouts of the door was blocked, and his strength was so great that Lin Jie had to stop to avoid any danger.

The roller shutter [ ] is reopened.

Lin Jie saw a burly man in a black cloak standing at the gate. ,

His whole face was completely hidden in the darkness, completely invisible, the cloak was like some wet mist, and his hands were

holding a box.

He is a head taller than Lin Jie, faint muscles can be seen under the cloak, his hands are unusually thick, and he looks better than Joseph as a whole.

Sturdy.

But his hands trembled slightly, and he seemed a little nervous and respectful for no reason.

"Such a heavy fog today.

Lin Jie was a little surprised and said, "I thought I would not be able to wait for the guests, but I didn't expect anyone else to come over to read a book?"

The man in black robe shook his head: "It's our rudeness to keep you waiting until today."

The man in black robe is unbelievably strong. A few days ago, he killed a big living person with his bare hands, but now he looks like a primary school student.

The same respect stood beside Lin Jie.

After he came from the lower city to kill Humphrey and got the "Dream of Chaos", he returned to the lower city and dedicated it to the top of the church.

At that moment they thought that the beginning of all beginnings, the master of all things, the archetype of all chaos and order that have been waiting to wake up from the dream

is the owner of this book.

So he came back here and came to the owner of the bookstore.

"Oh?"

Lin Jie raised his eyebrows: "So, you've heard of me? It's just for me?"

He then made a joke and said, "It's not really that long, time always flies by when I'm reading, come in

Indeed, for this man, perhaps the change of times is as simple as turning a page of a book.

Fortunately, from the first era when human beings were still ignorant, after thousands of years, they finally waited for what they should serve.

Owner.

Naturally, the man in black robe did not dare to disobey Lin Jie's order, and hurriedly walked into the bookstore. Although he was big and scary, the whole person looked very awkward.

promote.

Lin Jie closed the shutter and noticed the details on the black robe.

That

It is a gray mark, consisting of withered trees and two crossed long swords.

"Plague Church?"

The black-robed man nodded respectfully: "Yes."

Lin Jie returned to the back of the counter, with his elbows folded on the counter, leaning forward with a strange expression: "It seems that you have come to see me, you have made an appointment.

Great determination. "

Xiacheng District and the Plague Church, these two things he has been investigating, but he has never gotten more accurate information.

The reason is that the upper and lower urban areas are completely separated and traffic is prohibited.

And the mysterious black-robed man in front of him turned out to be from the Church of Plague.

So, that is to say, he actually crossed the barrier between the upper and lower urban areas! I have to say, it is simply amazing.

In the same way, wearing a black robe to cover up his identity is also excusable.

The man in black robe trembled with excitement when he heard this.

Yes, because he was guided by the Lord, he ran from the lower city to the upper city twice.

With the help of the top leaders of the church, it took several days to cast a spell from the original passage to release such a large fog, hindering the exploration of those extraordinary people.

Just to reach Boss Lin's bookstore safely.

He really wanted to tell everyone in the Xiacheng District church at this time, and everyone's efforts were not in vain.

Boss Lin knows all about it!

"I came here under your guidance." The man in black robe said nervously, and then he got a little nervous from his black robe.

Take out a book.

Lin Jie glanced at

It reads "Myths and Legends".

"what?"

Isn't this the book I gave to Ji Bonong? In all, Lin Jie gave Ji Bonong five books, among which "Myths and Legends"

It is Lin Jie's own work.

I'm ashamed to say, thinking that he mixed private goods with books that no one likes at all, it may affect Ji Bonong's sales, really.

Is a little embarrassed.

But he never expected that there would be readers who got the book and came to him to discuss it.

The main content of this "Myths and Legends" is some boring discussions originating from the ancient myths and civilizations of human beings.

Guess, is this man in black robe in front of you an archaeologist? That's why you're interested?

The man in black robe caressed the book, and in the shadow where Lin Jie could not see, on his chin covered with octopus-like tentacles,

Showing a slightly crazy smile, the book cover reads "Dream of Chaos".

Lin Jie couldn't help but smile: "You got this book from Ji Bonong's auction, it seems that you like this book very much, but

And have a very unique opinion.

"More than joy - this is a book that only a true God can write!"

The man in black robe held the book tightly in his arms, and his hoarse voice contained enthusiasm.

"Hahaha, this praise is too exaggerated."

But I am very useful, more praise, more praise

Although he usually sends other people's books, this is the first time someone has come to discuss his own books with him, and it is considered as a peer.

Praise is more precious.

"Speaking of which, I've always been interested in other people's opinions. What do you think of this book?" Lin Jie folded his arms and said with a smile.

road.

The man in black robe trembled: "Magnificent, dreamy, great, unbelievable, the content of this is incomprehensible, but it is fascinated

Getting drunk is like crossing the limitations of time and space and seeing another incredible world--like!"

His fiery gaze was looming under the black robe: "Not just me, everyone in the church is looking forward to you!"

Lin Jie nodded knowingly, and it seemed that he was indeed traveling with him: "Your church? It seems that you are discussing this book well."

"Yes yes, it means a lot to us."

The man in black robe nodded again and again and said, "So the members of the church asked me to visit with gifts in order to appreciate your gift."

After saying that, the man in black robe slowly pushed the box in his hand to Lin Jie.

"Hey, why don't you come here? You are so polite! How can academic discussions be like this?

Lin Jie said modest words, but in fact he had already opened the box. The contents of the box made his complexion--change, his eyes--condensed,

Immediately changed from business mode to work mode.

That's not some gold jewelry, but - a shard.

That fragment Lin Jie was very familiar with, because he also had one - exactly the same.

At that time, Ji Zhixu came to ask him for cooperation, and there was a fragment in the pile of gifts, which was unearthed from the Xiacheng District.

relic.

And the man in black robe in front of him actually brought the second piece!

The Plague Church is not only interested in mythology and literature, but also in the archaeology of Xiacheng District. In front of this black-robed man, he should

The job is to do archaeology.

I heard that Lin Jie is also researching these, so come to discuss?

"Do you know the origin of this fragment?"

Lin Jie asked with a frown, and at the same time took out another fragment and put the two pieces together.

The broken and indecipherable words were finally barely recognizable.

black robe man immediately

Bowing his head, he said respectfully and humbly: "It's not very clear, we can't understand the above text, but

This fragment contains an ancient soul. "

"Ancient spirits? Indeed, time will bring spirits to--all things that are ancient, these things from ancient times,

Nature has an ancient atmosphere. "

Lin Jie played with the shard, picked it up, and said, "The text on it means 'Monument of Fire, Wedge of Life'."

He narrowed his eyes: "Maybe you can't understand, in other words, this is a token of a witch named 'Life'."
