Chapter 377

A16 Manor, side hall.

Just as Greg was about to open his mouth, an extremely dazzling light suddenly flashed outside the window, followed by loud noises and violent vibrations.

"Boom—boom—"

In an instant, as if the ground was collapsing, the buildings of the manor were all tilted down a little.

Greg was stunned on the spot before he could react, he was pulled by the inertia and fell directly to the ground, and the servants and guards who followed behind him all rushed in and were thrown to pieces. In the panic, the butler was thrown Woke up from the fall, got up and shouted trying to maintain order, the scene was once chaotic.

"Calm down, calm down! Master, master, are you okay?! What's going on outside..."

The loyal butler wiped the blood from his face, and rushed over to support his master.

Ji Bonong looked at the housekeeper who was more flustered than himself, he couldn't help but shook his head, patted the other's hand, and said in a deep voice, "It's okay, it's probably an earthquake."

He looked at the gradually subdued light outside, and his inspiration alertness was still throbbing like a dull pain.

Although his thoughts were still a little confused, he looked at the clock wheel worm in Boss Lin's hand that fluctuated for more than half a circle, and he basically understood what happened just now.

Time has been reset, and the entire time and space have begun to flow again like a reversed hourglass.

Although it looks the same as before, the sand flowing down is no longer in the order of the original sand, that is to say, the explosion, flashing and shaking in front of the eyes seem to be seamlessly connected with the picture a few seconds ago, but in fact, they Already on the timeline after the reset.

Ji Zhixu was at the side with a confused face, a subtle dizziness as if he had just finished a roller coaster ride, and felt that everything in front of him seemed the same and yet different.

She looked up at the swaying crystal lamp, and the rotating vision merged into a solid body.

The memory before turning back time began to gradually return to my brain with the shaking crystal chandelier, and Miss Ji opened her eyes wide - turn back time? !

She turned her head suddenly and met Ji Bonong's gaze.

The father and daughter looked at each other, feeling a tingling chill tacitly.

Time... Isn't that the rule mastered by the God-level who was caught by Boss Lin and almost ate him in the end?

Although I don't know exactly what happened, but I can probably feel that there must be a connection between the two. That god-level escape was probably planned by Boss Lin from the very beginning, and it was not until this moment that it exerted its last remaining heat , has become a crucial pawn in Boss Lin's hands.

Otherwise, if Boss Lin wanted to kill that god level directly, he would never have let him go.

And judging from the person who broke in was Joseph's disciple Greg, and the reaction of the former, this pawn affected the decisive battle between the Corpse Food Cult and the Tower of Secret Rites thousands of miles away. up!

What kind of courage and power is this, with the god level as the chess game, and the next chess game with the entire NUO Gold as the board.

Ji Zhixu was short of breath, his hands and feet were numb, and it was difficult to calm himself down.

The seismic waves calmed down after tens of seconds, and the outside also returned to gloom and darkness.

Lin Jie almost found a chair and got into it. Fortunately, the earthquake stopped quickly enough to save his precarious face. After holding onto the table, his first reaction was to quickly check whether the clock he was holding tight just now was intact.

"call……"

Lin Jie looked at the clock wheel slowly turning again in his hand, and the cute little worm, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it is not bad, this thing is probably enough to buy several of me...

"What, it turned out to be an earthquake."

Lin Jie left the table next to him very naturally, patted the ashes on his body casually, with a calm expression on his face, as if he wasn't the one who almost got into the table just now, and sighed: "I thought it was a big deal. Well, as the saying goes, you can’t run away from big earthquakes, but you don’t need to run away from small earthquakes, you still don’t have enough life experience.”

"Hey." He sighed, turned his head, looked at Greg who fell to the ground, stretched out his hand and smiled, "Are you okay? Why are you so impatient? Young people are still too naive. If you come to me, come to me. In a hurry, I won't run away."

"It's okay, I'm fine..."

Seeing that smile, Greg shivered subconsciously, shook his head desperately, and stood up quickly.

"It's fine." Lin Jie shook his head: "By the way, what did you want to say just now?"

Greg opened his mouth, and the butler became vigilant when he saw him, stopped in front of Ji Bonong and said in horror: "It's him, stop him, don't let him come over, he just threatened me with a knife and knocked me out, sir , he might not be the real Greg, but an assassin!"

The servants, who had fallen to the ground, were shocked immediately when they heard the words, and ran over to subdue Greg, and the scene became chaotic again.

Greg hadn't come to his senses and was at a loss for a while. Although Lin Jie didn't know what Greg did just now, he probably knew that it was a misunderstanding during the short time together, so he came out and explained, dumbfounded: "Mr. Housekeeper, you Maybe I misunderstood, he came to look for me, and he is a child, how did he knock you out?"

The housekeeper was quite frightened before, but he was still very clear about the person who almost put a knife on his neck, and he said firmly: "No! I know it very well! It's him! Mr. Lin, don't be fooled by him!"

Lin Jie spread his hands, and had no choice but to cast his eyes for help to the real owner of this side hall.

Ji Bonong quickly stood up and said: "Enough, these two are our distinguished guests, this is definitely just a misunderstanding, Albert, you may be blind, now you go to the banquet location to appease our guests Bar."

Butler Albert naturally couldn't refute the will of his suzerain, so he just glanced at Greg, saluted but stubbornly said: "Yes, sir, but... a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. With my loyal heart, I beg you not to be in the same room as someone with a knife."

There were indeed exclamations from the guests outside. It seemed that the sudden earthquake had frightened many people.

The banquet was temporarily suspended.

Ji Zhixu came over and whispered to Ji Bonong: "Father... let's go out first, the guests outside still need to be taken care of."

Ji Bonong glanced at Greg, who was full of anxiety, and nodded understandingly: "Sorry, Mr. Lin, please forgive me for not staying with me."

Of course Lin Jie expressed his understanding: "Please go ahead, it would be better if you can come back later and tell me what happened just now."

What happened... Aren't you the clearest?

Ji Bonong couldn't help slandering in his heart, but he still had to keep a humble smile on his face: "I will find someone to confirm the specific situation, and I will let you know as soon as you finish talking with Greg."

With the departure of Ji's father and daughter and the housekeeper, the servants followed suit one after another, leaving only Greg and Lin Jie in the room.

Lin Jie took a deep breath, sat down again, and subconsciously wiped the dust on the small clock in his hand.

"Okay, tell me, what made you flustered and scared the butler like this."

Lin Jie felt that as an adult, he should not show timidity in front of children, so he cleared his throat, pretending to be very calm and said in a soft voice: "No matter what happens, don't panic, everything can turn around, calmness is not necessarily It works, but panic must not work, as I said before, if you encounter difficulties or problems, you can tell me."

"As the saying goes, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, right? I will help if I can."

Lin Jie looked at Greg seriously.

The young nobleman came back to his senses at this time, but he was even more confused. He looked at the direction outside the window, remembered the time that seemed to have been changed, and the teacher who was still in an unknown state, stammering and dancing, not knowing what to do. How to say: "Yes...but...I, you...just now...I'm sorry...how..."

Lin Jie comforted: "Don't worry, just speak slowly."

Greg took a deep breath, and just as he opened his mouth, there was a vibration in his palm, and he realized that his sweaty palm was still tightly holding the communicator. He was shocked, and when he looked down, he found that the note was "" tower".

It is the staff of the Secret Ritual Tower who specializes in emergency notifications!

Could it be that the teacher's battle finally came to an end? !

"Feel sorry!"

Greg jumped up excitedly, bowed to Lin Jie, and after the latter agreed, he anxiously walked out of the side hall through the small door on the other side, and quickly connected not far from the door——

"Apprentice knight, Your Excellency Greg."

An unfamiliar voice came from the opposite side.

Not Chief Winston.

Greg's heart skipped a beat.

The boy said in a deep voice, "It's me."

"Your mission has been cancelled."

"what why?!"

The indifferent voice seemed to pronounce a certain result, and Greg tremblingly said as if struck by lightning: "Old Joseph... how is the Radiant Knight doing now?"

"At present, the entire battlefield is covered by a huge amount of ether, and our personnel cannot enter and exit, so we cannot give you an accurate answer."

Greg was stunned, looked at the window on one side, lifted the curtains and looked into the distance, saw the gap in the sky, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and said: "Then what is the result of their battle?"

"Judging from the final display results of the ether monitor, it should be the same death, and the details need to wait for the feedback from the logistics department that is currently investigating on the spot."

Greg didn't speak for a while, as if frozen in place.

should?

"Wen...Where's Section Chief Winston?" After a long time, Greg took two deep breaths to adjust his breathing, so as not to lose his composure completely: "He was the one who was contacting me before, why..."

"He is located in the center of the battlefield. He has probably been affected, and his whereabouts are unknown." The tone on the other side did not fluctuate: "Okay, trainee knight, you have asked enough questions. As Joseph's disciple, if Joseph has news, we will I will notify you as soon as possible, but now, in order to prevent Wilde's possible conspiracy, please end your mission and take over a new mission—"

"Kill Charlotte."

Greg hangs up the communicator.

A strong suspicion suddenly arose in my heart.

Impossible... Impossible, since Boss Lin intervened, it proved that he must have responded to their request and rescued Joseph, so it could not be the end of "both perish".

But the biggest problem is that in order to prevent Wilde's life and death from being in doubt, the Secret Ritual Tower allowed his disciples to continue with more dangerous tasks when the situation was not yet clear.

This is simply... taking advantage of his hatred.

...

It was terrifying... After receiving the latest information and reviewing everything that happened just now, Ji Zhixu trembled all over. He didn't know whether it was because of excitement or fear, and couldn't help covering his mouth with his hands.

Although she didn't witness the battle between the gods at the scene, but just now, she saw Boss Lin dialing the needle of the clock wheel worm.

Judging from the crying expression on Greg's face when Greg rushed in, at least before time went back, Joseph was definitely at a disadvantage in the battle situation, and he might even die soon.

Now, however, the situation is unknown.

As they have witnessed before, when the god level manipulated the time reversal, it was pure time reversal. If there is no external interference, everything will just return to the original position.

In other words, if Boss Lin wants to influence the situation of the battle, simply turning back time cannot completely change the ending.

Therefore, Boss Lin deliberately let the god-level transcendent go, just to let him use the huge power of rules revealed by death to push the roulette wheel of fate at this specific time, just like a little bird that caused a storm. small butterfly.

During this process, the most frightening thing was that Boss Lin actually calculated the opponent's trajectory clearly. Not only did he completely kill the opponent, but he also manipulated the fate of Wilde and Joseph.

From the very beginning, from when he walked out of the bookstore... no, from when Ji Zhixu decided to invite him to the banquet out of selfishness, or earlier, was it the moment when Andrew sent the rotifer, or the acquaintance with Wilde and Joseph? In short, all of this is already in Boss Lin's plan!

How terrifying, the thinking of a high-ranking person that is enough to be feared just thinking about it, cannot be speculated with the thinking of ordinary people at all.

"Miss Ji?"

A familiar address startled Ji Zhixu, she immediately turned around and saw Lin Jie coming out of the side hall after closing the door with a clock wheel in his hand, still greeting her.

"Lin, Boss Lin..." Ji Zhixu felt guilty of being caught for doing something bad, he put down his hand covering his face awkwardly, and tried to flatten the corners of his mouth: "Why did you come out, what's the matter?" order?"

However, his gaze involuntarily moved to the bell rotworm, and his body trembled slightly.

"It's nothing... just suddenly remembered, you forgot to take the gift just now, really, how can it still be in my hand after giving it away."

Lin Jie took Ji Zhixu's hand, stuffed the chrysalis into Ji Zhixu's cold little hand, and said with a smile: "After seeing my demonstration just now, you shouldn't be afraid, right? Look, it really doesn't Horrible, even kind."
