I'm Really Not The Demon God's Lackey Chapter 13

The insidious and cunning “mouse” is something I’d never dream of.

He has been in various organizations for decades and has been safe and sound. On the surface, he is just an ordinary intelligence dealer, but in fact he has eyeliners all over the various forces. He can be called the king of that unknown dark country.

In the end, he died without a sound or even a trace in such a seemingly ordinary bookstore.

Died on his proud “sensitivity”.

Ji Zhixu sat down again, but felt like sitting on pins and needles.

Her hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and she couldn’t help but glance at the gargoyle on the counter next to her.

The demon who devoured a living human being in an extremely cruel manner just now has turned into a quiet and dark statue again.

It was as if nothing had happened.

The statue placed there didn’t even move its position, squatting silently towards the door.

It’s just that I don’t know if it’s Ji Zhixu’s illusion, its blood-red eyes seem to be more vivid…

Ji Zhixu looked at Lin Jie who came down the stairs like nothing else, and thought, this must be a warning from the owner of the bookstore!

He must have seen Ryan’s disrespect and suspicion long ago, but he didn’t bother to point it out, but let the gargoyle kill this ignorant and fearless guy directly.

An understatement.

He didn’t even bother to do it himself, and he didn’t want to see the ugly appearance of this guy struggling in the face of death, so he made an excuse and left.

No, he wasn’t even actually making an excuse, he was saying “five minutes is enough to take care of something”, wasn’t he talking about the time he took to kill Ryan between going up and down the stairs?

This… This is so in line with the temperament of dark wizards!

Proud, elegant, cruel, vicious… more violent than hunters.

No wonder Wilde was here at the time.

This destructive powerhouse who almost represents the image of the dark wizard in recent years should be, at least, a very good friend with this bookstore owner…

“What did you just say, if you have any ideas, just tell me, I will try my best to help, you are welcome.”

Lin Jie smiled kindly at Ji Zhixu, and sat back in his seat.

Ji Zhixu shivered, took his eyes away from the gargoyle for a moment, and said cautiously: “No, it’s nothing, I just thought, can you lend me another book… I’m very sorry, my entourage was a little rude just now, but please Believe me, that is not my will.”

At this moment, she felt at a loss, like a little girl who didn’t understand anything.

Instead of just annihilating the cold-blooded hunters who annexed the White Wolf leader’s base camp.

But when a person who was talking to me just now was instantly killed beside him, there was not even a trace left.

To experience that shuddering, imminent death.

It’s impossible not to feel the fear deeply.

For Ji Zhixu, the most terrifying thing was that not only did Ryan have no room to resist at that time, she also didn’t react at all.

In other words, assuming that the gargoyle attacked her at that time, there is a high probability that she would just disappear without a sound.

If her attitude towards Lin Jie was respect before, now it is reverence from the bottom of her heart.

Lin Jie laughed dumbfounded, and said: “What does it matter, I am a bookstore, if you want to borrow it, you can choose whatever you want, do you want to see the books on these shelves?”

“However, each person can only borrow three books at a time. If you want to buy them, the price will be higher, and it is only limited to the books on the shelves behind you.”

He pointed to the three rows of bookshelves behind Ji Zhixu, all of which were books that he had read and kept copies of.

Ji Zhixu shook her head, how could she dare to pry into this vast and mysterious library at will, she only stayed at the prologue of the last book “Blood and Beasts”.

Going deeper, she was afraid that her spirit would go crazy because of looking directly at the forbidden words.

You can only wait for the strength to improve further.

“Please recommend another suitable book for me, my will is too weak.”

She sat on the stool with her hands on her knees and said carefully.

She is obviously a mature and glamorous Yujie in her twenties, but now she looks like a pitiful and lovable kitten.

Lin Jie felt that the eldest lady’s attitude was a bit inexplicable.

Why did he only walk away for five minutes, and she acted as if she saw a tiger, and her words became lighter.

It seems that something has been hit mentally.

Lin Jie thought for a while, and the only changing factor in this process should be the subordinate who suddenly left in a hurry.

When he was upstairs at that time, he vaguely heard the quarrel coming from downstairs.

In this case, according to his guess, this subordinate probably felt that it was very inappropriate for the eldest lady to condescend to come to this dilapidated bookstore.

So she wanted to dissuade the eldest lady from staying away from him as a “liar”, but Ji Zhixu had already established trust in him, so she refused.

In the end, the two broke up unhappy, and the subordinate may have gone home to report the young lady’s rebellion.

Alas, that’s right, this is the character set of a young lady who can meet a scumbag.

“In that case, I do have a book I can recommend to you.”

Lin Jie stood up, took out a book from the bookshelf, patted the dust vainly, turned his head and squinted his eyes: “By the way, that subordinate of yours doesn’t have the right eyes.”

“It’s better to say less about absolute loyalty.”

Ji Zhixu felt a little hesitant in his heart after what happened just now, and wavered: “But…”

The power of runes passed down from ancient times by the white wizards, especially the brand of “loyalty”, is very popular among high-level nobles and rich people.

Of course, different wizards draw different runes, and only I can know how to remove them.

If Ryan’s brand fails, it means—

Heywood, the white wizard supported by his father, probably sold the dispelled rune to others without authorization.

Lin Jie handed over the book in his hand and said in a low voice: “Others are hell, you will never be able to correctly judge what other people are thinking, can you? No means can completely expose a human heart to you. In front of you.”

“The only thing you can rely on and believe in is yourself.”

“So, work hard, when you are as indestructible as steel, no one can beat you.”

Ji Zhixu took it with both hands, looked at the cover and muttered: “Steel…”

Lin Jie smiled and nodded.

Yes, it is “How the Steel Was Tempered”.

“Look more, if you learn something from it, it will be helpful.”

“In this way, one day, when you look back on the past, you won’t feel regretful for being inactive and wasting your time, nor will you feel guilty for being despicable and living a vulgar life.”

“You have a mission of your own.”

When Ji Zhixu left the bookstore and stood in the rain in a daze, the words of the bookstore owner still lingered in his ears.

She looked at the “Iron Will” in her hand, and slowly turned the pages.

In an instant, an unknown force filled her mind and soul, making her feel that everything in front of her was invisible.
