I'm Really Not The Demon God's Lackey Chapter 408

“The pollution from the NUO industry is getting worse…”

As usual, Lin Jie got up early and opened the door of the bookstore, feeling a little headache looking at the thick fog outside.

I often don’t see the sun for several days, but Lin Jie doesn’t mind. He has been an otaku for more than 20 years in the 21st century. After coming to Nuojin, he can just use the serious smog and isolation at home as an excuse don’t go out.

But today’s fog is really too big, and it has reached the point where “men and women can’t be distinguished at three meters, and humans and animals can’t be distinguished at five meters”.

The white mist rising high is like a woman’s white gauze skirt, and this lifeless mist is also like a skirt, flowing slowly against the ground in a special way, like a living thing.

Lin Jie looked outside through the open store door, and the thick fog reminded people of the “Fog City” on the earth.

There was no one in the bookstore. Moen had already gone to the branch in the central area to manage, and Joseph went to the equipment market to help purchase tools for the new store. Lin Jie was left alone in the empty bookstore.

Lin Jie was very curious about Joseph’s suspected performance beyond ordinary people’s abilities last time, but it was a pity that Morn and Joseph had been busy all the time, so he couldn’t sit down and talk with them.

When Moen has completely established a branch in the Central District, the retired Joseph will be my new assistant in the old bookstore, and there should be a lot of time to ask him…

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

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

“Strange thing… the books randomly taken from the bookshelf should not be repeated, this is the entire earth’s library.”

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

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

Lin Jie had no choice but to have a terrifying but reasonable thought – “Could it be that it’s not because the books are repeating, but because I’ve read all the books?”

This is impossible!

That is the whole earth’s library, how could it be possible to read all of them in three years, it must be Xiao Hei’s mistake.

“Hmm… It seems that I have to find time to ask Xiao Hei, otherwise the days to come will be so boring.”

Lin Jie nodded and put the book back.

Then he frowned, and found that it was already past the early morning, and the sun should have come out, but the fog was even thicker, and it floated into the bookstore along the open door, like a few remnants of unwilling souls.

Looking outside at this time, the thick gray fog is already like a thick barrier, and the road cannot be recognized at all.

It seems that we can’t open the shop today… Lin Jie put down his book, walked to the newly installed second-floor rolling gate, stretched out his hand and pulled down the gate forcefully, and the rolling gate made a rattling sound.

Sudden–

A hand wrapped in a black glove, slightly larger than normal, stretched in at the moment when the rolling shutter was about to close, and stopped the rolling shutter from falling. His strength was so great that Lin Jie had to stop his movements, lest anything happen. Danger.

The shutter door was 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, and there was some wet mist on the cloak, and he was holding a box in his hand.

He was a head taller than Lin Jie, with faint muscles visible under the cloak, his hands were unusually thick, and overall he looked stronger than Joseph.

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

“It’s such a heavy fog today.”

Lin Jie was a little surprised, and said: “At first, I thought that there would be no guests, but I didn’t expect anyone to come over. Do you want to read?”

The man in black shook his head: “It’s our disrespect for keeping you waiting until today.”

The black-robed man was unbelievably strong. A few days ago, he crushed a large living person to death with his bare hands, but now he stood respectfully beside Lin Jie like a primary school student.

He came from the lower city to kill Humphrey and got the “Dream of Chaos”, and then returned to the lower city to dedicate it to the top of the church. At that moment, they thought that everything that had been waiting to wake up from the dream began. The beginning, the master of all things, the archetype of all chaos and order is the master of this book.

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

“Oh?”

Lin Jie raised his eyebrows: “So, you’ve heard of me? Did you come here just for me?”

He then joked, “Actually, it’s not that long. Time flies by when I’m reading. Come in.”

…Indeed, for this person, maybe the change of times is just as simple as turning a page of a book.

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

Naturally, the man in black didn’t dare to disobey Lin Jie’s order, and hurried into the bookstore. Although he was big and scary, he looked very cramped.

Lin Jie closed the shutter door casually, and at the same time noticed the details on the black robe——

It was a gray mark made of dead trees and two crossed swords.

“The Plague Church?”

The man in black nodded respectfully: “Yes.”

Lin Jie went back behind the counter, folded his elbows on the counter, leaned forward, with a strange expression: “It seems that you have made a lot of determination to come to me.”

The lower city and the Plague Church, these two things he has been investigating, but has never gotten more definite 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 Plague Church.

So, in other words, he actually crossed the barrier between the upper and lower urban areas! I have to say, it’s simply amazing… And in this way, it’s understandable to wear a black robe to cover up your identity.

The man in black trembled with excitement when he heard these words.

Yes, because he was guided by the Lord, he ran from the lower city to the upper city twice. It was indeed very dangerous, so that he spent a few days with the help of his tribe and church officials to cast a spell from the original passage to release such a large area. The fog hinders the investigation of those extraordinary people, just to reach Boss Lin’s bookstore safely.

At this time, he really wanted to tell everyone in the church in the lower city that everyone’s efforts were not in vain.

Boss Lin knows everything!

“I came here entirely under your guidance.” The black-robed man said nervously, and then nervously took out a book from his black robe.

Lin Jie took a glance——

“Myths and Legends” is impressively written on it.

“what?”

Isn’t this the book I gave Ji Bonon? Counting, Lin Jie gave Ji Bonong five books, among which “Myths and Legends” is Lin Jie’s own work.

I am ashamed to say that I am a little embarrassed to think that he mixed private goods with such books that no one would like, which may affect Ji Bonong’s sales.

But he never expected that some readers would get the book and come to him to discuss it.

The main content of this “Myths and Legends” is some boring discussions that originated from ancient human myths and civilizations. It can be regarded as an archaeological book. Could it be that the black-robed man in front of us is an archaeologist? That’s why you’re interested?

The man in black caressed the book carefully. In the shadow that Lin Jie couldn’t see, his jaw covered with octopus-like tentacles showed a slightly crazy smile. Dream”.

Lin Jie couldn’t help showing a smile: “You got this book from Ji Bonong’s auction. It seems that you like this book very much, and you have very unique insights.”

“It’s not just because I like it… This is a book that only a true God can write!”

The man in black held the book tightly in his arms, and there was fanaticism hidden in his hoarse voice.

“Hahaha, this compliment is too exaggerated.”

… But I am very useful, more praise, more praise.

Although he usually gives away other people’s books, this is the first time someone has come to discuss his own book with him, and it is considered a compliment among colleagues, which is even more precious.

“Speaking of which, I’ve always been interested in other people’s opinions. What do you think of this book?” Lin Jie said with a smile while crossing his arms.

The man in black trembled and said: “Magnificent, dreamy, great, unbelievable, the content in it is incomprehensible, but it is fascinating, as if crossing the limitation of time and space, seeing another incredible world! “

His fiery eyes were faintly visible under the black robe: “It’s not just me, everyone in the church is looking forward to you!”

Lin Jie nodded in understanding, it seems that he is indeed a colleague: “Your church? It seems that you are discussing this book seriously.”

“Yes yes, it means a lot to us.”

The man in black nodded repeatedly, and said, “So in order to thank you for your gift, the members of the church asked me to come and visit with a gift.”

After finishing speaking, the man in black slowly pushed the box in front of Lin Jie.

“Hey, come here as soon as you come, and you are so polite! How can academic discussions engage in such things…”

Lin Jie said modest words, but he actually opened the box. The contents of the box made his expression change, his eyes fixed, and he immediately changed from a business mode to a work mode.

It was not a gold jewel, but a fragment.

Lin Jie is very familiar with that fragment, because he also has a piece that is exactly the same.

At that time, Ji Zhixu came to ask him for cooperation, and among the pile of gifts he gave was a fragment, which was a relic unearthed from the lower city.

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

The Plague Church is not only interested in mythology and literature, but is also very good at archaeology in the lower city… The man in black robe in front of him should be engaged in archaeological work.

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 unrecognizable characters were finally barely recognizable.

The man in black immediately lowered his head and said respectfully and humbly: “It’s not very clear, we can’t understand the words on it, but this fragment contains an ancient soul.”

“Ancient souls? That’s true. Time will bring souls to all ancient things. These objects from ancient times naturally have an ancient atmosphere.”

Lin Jie played with the fragment, picked it up, and said, “The writing 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’.”
