Chapter 242

With mixed feelings, Andrew opened the book in front of him as if welcoming a doomed fate.

Fingers touch the book cover and pages, and slowly lift them up. The paper is so thin and qualityless, but Andrew seems to feel the huge pressure coming suddenly at this moment.

That invisible pressure comes from all directions, from the gaze in the void, from the ancient sky and stars...

Andrew was terrified, a chaotic scream suddenly came from his mind, his temples were bulging and beating, and there seemed to be shadows dancing wildly around him, and a strong sense of danger was beating his brain and heart.

boom! boom! boom!

The blows again and again made his heart contract hard again and again, his whole body trembled, and it was difficult to breathe like a drowning person.

"Ha ha……"

He panted hard, feeling that he was not opening a thin book.

Instead, it is pushing open a heavy door that contains forbidden truths.

Andrew was sweating profusely, staring fearfully at the place where his hand touched the page, the page and the book cover slowly separated, and at the same time, he felt his strength being drawn.

But at this moment, he couldn't stop.

That's right, can't stop! can not stop!

Andrew found in a panic that his body seemed to be out of his control, and his arm was now acting on its own initiative, exerting force enough to open the book.

The pages of the book were flipped open, and the distorted taboos and filthy runes were like wind, sand, or the sun blowing towards the face. Andrew felt that he was being pushed and pushed by the storm of "knowledge".

The gust of wind was like a bone-scraping steel knife, cutting across his mind one by one, making him want to back, scream, and escape uncontrollably.

"No, don't! Ahhhhh!!!"

Andrew let out a silent cry subconsciously, the pain and frenzy were destroying his sanity.

He felt that his consciousness was running, spinning, and pulling, passing through the bizarre worlds. The door opened in front of him was shining brightly, and things emitting infinite light were in the depths of the darkness, like rings and bubbles. halo.

Just a glimpse through the crack in the door shattered his soul.

The amount of information beyond tolerance was captured by Andrew's sight on the surface of those halos, causing him to expand, explode, and destroy in an instant.

And because of the "knowledge" storm blowing in his mind, Andrew's soul did not die, but merged with this storm...

Gradually turned into a new life.

All of this happened at the level of spirit, mind and soul, so on the surface, Andrew just opened the book "extremely excited", and then fell into silence after his expression changed.

He lowered his head, his eyes were dull and lifeless, and became dark and dead.

However, in the depths of the pupil, a ring slowly lit up... an endless circle with no beginning, no end.

Five minutes passed.

"Mr. Lin, Vice President Andrew, is he okay?"

Prima, who had been watching by the side, felt uneasy. Seeing Andrew's strangely quiet back sitting in front of the counter, she finally couldn't help asking.

In fact, five minutes ago, she seemed to see the vice president who had heard about it twitch all over, and it was not a normal cramp, but seemed to be suppressed by some invisible force, struggling with all her strength... …

What was even more frightening was that on Andrew's back, at that moment, thick twisted meridians and lump-like things emerged from the suit.

It was as if some monster had lurked into his body at that moment.

"Shh-"

Lin Jie immediately raised his fingers, made a quiet gesture to Prima, and glanced at the little girl with great dissatisfaction.

Prima immediately covered her mouth, a little panicked.

Lin Jie glanced at Andrew and saw that he was not disturbed, so he waved to Prima, got up and walked to the side.

Prima followed anxiously.

Lin Jie looked at her inexplicably, and said, "Didn't you see that he was reading books obsessively? He's interested, what could be the matter?"

Prima looked up at Lin Jie's incomparably natural expression, and recalled the strange condition on Andrew's body, and her doubts grew deeper and deeper.

Although, although Mr. Lin has a close relationship with Vapujisi, who is in charge of the night, it is even very likely that he is a higher-ranking existence.

But this seems... It doesn't mean that he must be a "good" character in the usual sense.

However, judging from Andrew's performance at the beginning, he should have offended Mr. Lin from the beginning, so he came to apologize, so it is normal for Mr. Lin to punish him slightly.

Prima tried to comfort herself.

Lin Jie also looked at Andrew, saw the expression clearly immersed in the world of books, and continued with a smile: "This deal is stable...Scholars are indeed scholars, and they are all people who love books. Seeing his fascination, he seems to be eaten by books, no wonder Hood and those bastards came to steal books."

He murmured: "It turns out that the Truth Society is the real big customer. Should I continue to develop and try to win the entire Truth Society?"

Prima shuddered suddenly, her eyes showing horror.

Like being eaten by a book?

Take down the whole Truth Council?

Oh my god... What exactly does Mr. Lin want to do? This seems to be a very amazing plan...

Wait, she heard it all, what should I do? ! Will it be silenced? !

The black-haired girl's face became very pale, and she looked at Lin Jie in fear.

Lin Jie turned his head and looked at her, even more inexplicably, thinking for a while, whether he had frightened the child with his tone of voice just now, so he reached out and touched Prima's head, and said softly: "I'm sorry, is it true? I scared you, and I am a little anxious, after all, it is not easy for bookstores to have business, so we have to pay close attention to efficiency."

Seeing Lin Jie's gentle smiling face, Prima swallowed, and quickly shook her head: "No, no..."

I don't see anything!

Although Lin Jie felt that the child seemed a bit strange, since he said he didn't, it shouldn't be a big deal.

He asked Prima to help boil a pot of hot water, and he returned to his seat.

Andrew seemed to have escaped from the state of trance, and was slowly flipping through the remaining pages of the book, his eyes were full of pious focus and... fanaticism.

"how do you feel?"

Lin Jie sat down and asked very eagerly.

"It's better than ever." Andrew stared at the book in his hand: "It's just that I seem to understand it, but I don't seem to understand it."

"Normal, the things in this book need to be savored and comprehended slowly."

Isn't this nonsense? If you can understand it at once, what else am I selling?

Lin Jie smiled and said, "For example, it is said in the book that besides language, there is another way of expression."

"If you master this non-verbal expression, you can read the whole world."

"Do you know what it is?"

Andrew looked at Lin Jie with bright eyes, and paused every word, like reciting a doctrine: "All things are one thing...one is all, and all is one."
