Maria habitually pulled the front of her white coat, and when she caught the air with her hand, she remembered that she wasn't wearing an office or real thing today.

It's a white lab coat, but an ordinary piece of casual clothes.

She spends most of her life in the laboratory, for her, she rarely wears clothes other than a white coat, she almost

Dedicated her whole life to the Truth Society, but today she is going to meet someone special.

Maria touched the fragment of the stone tablet in her pocket, and could feel the strong breath of life in it.

As a mortal, Maria, who has suffered from bottlenecks for a long time, is extremely eager to break through herself, and finally chooses to go to Xiacheng to gain experience.

Finally resisted the pollution there, obtained a breakthrough, and got the fragments of this witch of life.

This is all her capital and courage, relying on this fragment to survive in the deep lower city full of countless pollution.

Maria pushed her glasses, her long black hair fell behind her like a waterfall, and in front of her was Block 23.

With her hands in the pockets of her gray trench coat, she looked at the old bookstore that didn't even have a signboard.

The boss is sitting at the counter talking to a girl, according to the information, this girl should be the assistant of the owner of the bookstore.

He is also another leader of Helios.

"Boss Lin, the new store is ready, I can officially go there today."

Mo En said this, Lin Jie nodded, explained a few things to her, and told her to be careful on the road.

Maria stood in the doorway, only to hear the end of such a conversation.

One - it sounds normal.

But thinking of what the intelligence said, the branch was occupied by a large number of senior followers of the Sun God Cult on the first day of its opening.

Very bad.

Morn nodded at last and walked out of the bookstore.

The moment she turned around, her calm eyes saw Maria, who subconsciously met her gaze.

At that moment, Maria stiffened, as if seeing an ancient dark night sky.

Until Moen completely passed her by, she still stood still and didn't dare to move.

The shards in the palm exude a warning-like heat.

"Did you like something? You've come, why don't you come in and see? You seem to have been standing at the door for a long time."

Lin Jie was just here to close the door, but he didn't expect to see a person outside.

Now that it's at the door of my shop, that's my customer.

Adhering to this principle, Lin Jie showed a business smile and opened the door wider.

Maria's stiff body slackened, and her original confidence and momentum were shattered by Moen's warning, and she became weaker for no reason.

Ability to use this level of power

This bookstore owner, perhaps, is stronger than she imagined - a little bit.

But Maria, has never been afraid of power and terror. On the contrary, she has the courage to challenge, even when she went to the lower city, and even when she came to the bookstore today.

Yes.

As the president of the Truth Society, and as a relative of Hood, there are some things she must figure out.

Maria stepped forward and walked to the owner of the bookstore.

"Hello ma'am, would you like to buy some books?"

Lin Jie said with a smile.

Maria raised her head slightly and looked at the bookstore.

"I am a member of the Truth Society. I heard that Boss Lin in this bookstore is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, so he came to visit him specially."

Maria took a deep breath and said with a smile.

Lin Jie couldn't help but fall back tactically, more and more members of the Truth Society came to the bookstore, I don't know who was promoting him like this and boasting

He is really very insightful.

I think only Andrew, oh, just inspired his research on alchemy, as for. Hope

More to come!

Lin Jie waved his hands again and again, and said modestly, "I've only read a few more books, how can it be considered knowledgeable."

"Boss Lin is humble."

Maria didn't smile, but her eyes turned cold: "It was said by my nephew Hood, he said that he was taught once by you, and let him

Individuals have changed. "

The mutation and power of Hood are too similar to the pollution in Xiacheng. This Lin Jie must be inseparable from Xiacheng.

of.

Lin Jie smiled and said humbly: "It's your nephew who is smart, I just enlighten him, and he has already changed amazingly.

Extraordinarily talented. "

He thought to himself, it turned out that this was Hood's aunt, the president of the Truth Society who was in retreat.

I'm afraid it's not because I came to the door to ask for guilt. Let's talk about Hood first. Anyway, Hood is now his own.

He didn't care about stealing from the store. The thing about tying up people and beating them up was over.

He said: "In the past six months, Hood's progress has been obvious. I think it has something to do with him falling in love with reading books. You also read him.

Interested in the book? How about buying a copy?”

"I didn't come here to buy books."

Maria - talking - subconsciously looked up at the bookshelf behind the bookstore owner, which seemed to be - an endless vortex, let Mary

Leah felt a shock from her soul.

this book

The shop owner's trick is probably to send the book to the selected person. The book contains huge power, and the selected person can't restrain the force.

Desire for quantity, accept books, but the moment you accept books will be swallowed up by books and become the bookstore owner's scroller.

The trap of a wisher's bait, really clever.

She turned her head quickly, lest her will be subjected to a verbal confrontation that seemed to be unable to continue, Ma

Leah subconsciously tightened his pockets—it was time to let him know who he was protecting.

"Is there something else?" Lin Jie asked suspiciously.

Maria raised the corner of her mouth and slowly took out the fragment from her pocket.

"—Probably know this thing?"

Maria's eyes flickered.

In her mind, she had already foreseen that Lin Jie would lose his composure and panic when he saw the beacon belonging to the witch of life.

look.

Bi Jing, the witch of life, is his natural enemy no matter what, if he really came from the lower city, the flame lit in the dark is exactly the

Light that disperses pollution

Maria slowly awakened the shard, injected power, and the heartbeat-like resonance of power gradually agitated, making her more and more excited.

Lin Jie blinked and saw the very familiar fragment, his smile froze.

Maria snorted coldly, seeing Lin Jie's broken mask-like smirk, she felt very happy.

"It's this

Lin Jie was stunned for a while, then twitched the corners of his mouth: "What a coincidence, I was telling the guests yesterday that it was like a miracle of fate, this first

There are always three shards - the day will come to me. "

Maria opened her eyes wide and watched in disbelief as Lin Jie reached out and took out two boxes from under the counter and opened them.

So, like mass production--like, two fragments appeared in front of Maria's eyes.

"- How could it be?!" With treasures that I almost paid for with my life? Besides, it's those polluted deaths

The enemy, if it is the existence of the lower city, you should be afraid of it!

Maria felt that the world was spinning in front of her, but the fragments in front of her were indeed the real thing, containing the vigorous power of the witch of life.

The agitation that was like a heartbeat was getting faster and faster, which made Maria's heartbeat speed up, and even felt a little uncomfortable.

"It's all from the guests." Lin Jie played with the two pieces and said, "Speaking of which, I've been studying these two pieces for the past few days.

The film did have some results.

"It seems that you are also here to discuss things about fragments. It seems that you are both a scholar and an archaeology enthusiast?" Lin Jie laughed

He wrote: "Look, this one was sent by the people of the Plague Church."

"Oh, by the way, do you know the Plague Church?" Lin Jie seemed to remember something, "They are a church in Xiacheng District,

They also came to ask me about these fragments, and they wanted me to teach them in the past, and what to do with the whole church to find them

This last fragment. "

"But look, this last one came as soon as it was said, so, ah, it's a wonderful fate - eh, what's the matter with you, guest

?"

Lin Jie watched in amazement as Maria's pupils shrank and covered her mouth, as if thinking of something frightening.

"- I'm fine.

Maria shook her head with difficulty and said calmly.

Even after being out of downtown for months, the cruelty and gloom of the Church of the Plague and the lives of those who live in the downtown still make the

She felt nauseated just thinking about it.

Those people live in the ground where the sun never sees the light of day, the muddy water of the quagmire never reaches the calf, and what flows in it is not muddy water, but

Internal organs and minced meat, the dead cannot be buried in the loose and smooth soil, they are smashed together with a hoe when they rot, and they become underground living creatures.

part of the state.

Those who may no longer be called human, the infinitely degenerated eyes are small and full of malice, the skin is hard

Rough and even with scales, most of the head has turned into tentacles, she can't see their full face, or maybe it's because of him

Each of them has its own deformity.

But one thing is the same, they always look up at the soil above, as if waiting.

She once guessed that the plague church, which worships this mutation, may be waiting for the return of the source of the mutation.

The wish to return to the ground has never disappeared.

And now, the owner of the bookstore said he was going to give lectures to the members of the Church of the Plague?

The monsters of the Plague Church have to wait for the bookstore owner to go to the lower city. Could it be that the man in front is the plague

Is the church waiting?!

Maria felt like her heart was being clenched, and she felt suffocation.

The passage overseen by the Truth Society was destroyed, and at the same time, the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce claimed to have excavated a second passage, and now, the plague church’s

The ambition is clear, everything is not a coincidence, but a long-planned conspiracy!

"It's alright.

Lin Jie said, and then prepared to take the third fragment.

Maria opened her eyes wide, fear spreading like a tide, clutching the shard tightly in her hand as if she had caught the straw when she was drowning.

, at the same time quickly want to withdraw his hand.

However, she suddenly found that she couldn't move!

no no no no

Maria was in a cold sweat and saw the shadow reflected on the wall moving slowly, and her hand seemed to be controlled by the shadow.

Like offering treasures, the fragments in the box were slowly delivered to Lin Jie.

Not one Mary shouted in her heart in horror.
