"Beast transformation!"
Ji Zhixu was so shocked that she almost stood up from her seat, but she forced herself to suppress her impulse.
The information in the mind is as solid as if it has always existed, firmly imprinted in the memory.
It even gave her a burning pain sensation as if she were being branded.
"Beast Transformation: Power extracted from blood, controlled by blood..."
Ji Zhixu's eyelids twitched as he held the book in his hand. He was still terrified. What on earth was this? !
The hunters' power comes from dream beasts. They gain some of their power by injecting potions with filthy blood as the main ingredient. They are those who gaze into the abyss and become part of it.
Injecting dirty blood is a very dangerous act, and the first injection even has a certain mortality rate.
This is also a threshold to becoming a hunter.
If the dosage exceeds a certain ratio, the hunter will soon be infected, and the uncontrollable filthy blood will rage in the body, causing a certain degree of abnormality.
The specific phenomena can be roughly divided into three stages: personality distortion, evaporation of reason, and physical alienation.
The higher the concentration of foul blood, the stronger the hunter's power and the deeper the anomaly.
Among the physical alienation, the most common one is bestiality.
That kind of beast transformation is uncontrollable!
The strength of those old hunters who have accumulated too much filthy blood is unimaginable, but usually, they are tortured by the beast transformation and even unable to move, which is very painful.
Ji Zhixu wanted to do was not to be a human being, that is, to get strength through the second injection, to repay a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye!
But she didn't expect that this mysterious bookstore owner would actually teach her the method to control the filthy blood!
Completely controllable beast transformation!
This is a problem that hunters and wizards from ancient times have been unable to solve!
"Confessions..."
Clearly feeling the blood in his body howling in submission, Ji Zhixu's voice trembled slightly and became a little hoarse: "Is this what you want me to do?"
What a lunatic!
A powerful madman!
This short piece of information is enough to subvert the power system on which the entire hunter community relies for survival!
Once this skill spreads, the order that the hunters have established based on the filthy blood will be broken!
By doing this, she was essentially launching a conquest against the old world.
She might be a saint, or she might be a sinner.
All the choices of fate and the tide of the times are now in her hands.
She wanted to repent for this dead old world.
Ji Zhixu's breathing gradually became heavier. He lowered his head and stared at the book in his hand. He could see it clearly in this quiet bookstore.
Lin Jie looked at the woman with her head lowered and her shoulders trembling slightly, and sighed in his heart.
Alas, this is a woman who has been heartbroken.
Sentimental.
Although she looks like a strong woman, that is just an appearance, a fragile shell.
Look, he is almost crying with just a few words of comfort and encouragement.
Of course, sometimes, we cry not because we are sad, but because we have someone to talk to and rely on.
But after venting her vulnerability, she needs a shot of confidence to boost her self-confidence, to make her believe that she can do it, believe that she can face everything and show her true self!
He said, "Yes, I need you to do this, and you must do this, not to repent, but to be honest with yourself."
The young man opposite had already withdrawn his gaze and whispered, as if to her, or as if to himself:
"Let the trumpet of Judgment Day be blown as it pleases. I will stand before the Supreme Judge with this book in my hand. I will loudly declare: 'This is what I did, what I thought, and what I was. I spoke of good and evil with equal candor.'"
What Lin Jie said was exactly the original text from Rousseau 's "Confessions".
He smiled and said, "Everyone has the primitive desires of a beast. This is the truth, isn't it?"
Ji Zhixu looked up suddenly and saw Lin Jie pick up her teacup and clink it with the cup in front of her. He looked up at her and said, "How about a toast to a brand new tomorrow?"
a long time.
She put down the book in her hand, solemnly picked up the teacup and drank it all, then smiled and bowed her head slightly cautiously and said: "Thank you for your guidance, I will follow your wishes."
Lin Jiecai took a sip, then saw Ji Zhixu finish the drink in one gulp. He paused and couldn't help but twitching his lips.
Why did she drink it all? He just said it symbolically, just wanting the other person to drink more hot water to warm his stomach...
What's more important is that he had just added water to the other side, and it was a cup of real boiling water!
How could she drink it all without blinking? !
Forget it …
After all, she had just broken up with her boyfriend, so it was possible that she was in a trance... right?
Lin Jie put down the cup and asked tentatively, "Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Ji Zhixu shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
During the time they were talking, her injuries had completely healed.
This is the power of filthy blood.
Well, since the other party said so, he would just take it as nothing.
After all, if she was really burned, the other party would not be able to talk to her properly now.
"Do you want to rest a little longer?"
Lin Jie pulled out a black umbrella from under the counter and shook it. "Unfortunately, my bookstore is too crowded. There is no extra space or guest room, so I can only take you in until tonight."
"Here is the umbrella. You can take it with the book. The deadline for returning the book is one month, with a maximum grace period of seven days. Remember to bring the umbrella back when the time comes."
His bookstore is more like a simple library than a bookstore, with only books and bookcases.
"I'll be leaving in a moment."
Ji Zhixu took the umbrella, signed her name and information on the registration book that Lin Jie took out, and whispered cautiously: "Can I get to know you?"
Me?
I guess what I said just now was not too inappropriate, or is it true that women who have been heartbroken are easily taken advantage of?
Lin Jie blinked and gave a business smile: "My name is Lin Jie, I'm just an ordinary but helpful bookstore owner."
He put the books in a plastic bag and glanced down at the register.
Name: Ji Zhixu... huh?
The only daughter of Ji Bonong, the famous wealthy man who developed underground resources in the Lower City District, seems to be named this?
Lin Jie felt that his memory was pretty good, and this name was quite unique, so he was definitely not mistaken.
Add to that her outstanding appearance and the evening gown that looked like it was custom-designed.
He pretended to be calm and put the registration book back silently .
This is still a big fish.
It will definitely be a rip-off... make enough money to renovate the bookstore!
Ji Zhixu was not disappointed, but instead felt that it was expected.
Since the other party doesn't want to reveal his identity, she can only rely on her efforts. At least all the betrayers must be eliminated before the stipulated one-month deadline!
Then, seek help for the next step...
She took two steps back, picked up the umbrella and book in one hand, tucked her cane under her armpit, put the other hand on her chest, and bowed to Lin Jie.
"Good night, then."
Lin Jie scratched his head. Should he say that she is worthy of being a young lady? Such etiquette is a bit too exaggerated.
Ji Zhixu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up again respectfully, turned around and walked out of the store, pushed the door, opened the umbrella, and walked forward in the heavy rain.
Suddenly she pressed the mechanism of her cane, her whole body became alert again, and she looked forward vigilantly.
An old man holding an umbrella was walking towards her, with a hunched back, walking slowly in the rain, holding a book in his hand.
