I'm Not the Hands of the Devil

chapter 2: The word heal and teach

Over the years, Lin Jie had chatted with all kinds of customers and understood some basic observation and communication skills.

The line 'you seem to be having some trouble' has no meaning of its own. That's similar to how a fortune teller will always start with, “There's an ominous aura that looms around you.”—it's a psychological suggestion.

It was a bit like a flag in the game. Once the requirements are met, the next part of the conversation will follow.

Whenever people hear the word “problem”, they will unconsciously reflect on whether they have actually experienced any problems recently. It goes without saying that most people's lives will not go smoothly along the way.

Problems, whether big or small, are still problems.

And as soon as the customer started grumbling, it was time for Master Lin to hand out the chicken soup and close the distance.

However, there is also the possibility of failing while using this kind of cold reading trick.

For example, the other party could be truly blessed with incredible luck throughout their lives, or perhaps, he might be guarded from strangers, making it difficult to communicate.

However, Lin Jie was very confident that he could keep this person open, as the drenched woman before him was indeed in a terrible predicament.

Ji Zhixiu was wiping herself dry when she suddenly stopped in the middle of the road to raise her head and look towards the smiling young man behind the counter. “Yes, I'm having an annoying problem.”

He was unable to determine whether this person was a friend or an enemy, but even if he was an enemy, it was impossible for him to escape from this seemingly mystical entity in his current weakened state.

Since he made things unnecessarily complicated, he would just play along with him. He would find the purpose of this person and see how holy he was.

If he were a friend, this would be a pleasant surprise.

If he was an enemy, then he would utilize more time for him to rest.

Meanwhile, Lin Jie noticed that his eyes were not black but iron gray. There were glittering spots on her pupils that resembled beautifully polished gems. At the top of his ear, there was a three centimeter wound that was still covered in blood.

No matter how he looked at her, this woman was someone with many stories to share.

Lin Jie asked, “Are you facing any problems in your interpersonal relationships?

Since there are no complaints about this rain so far, the next most likely problem for women of her age is relationship issues.

Of course, he couldn't limit it to just love, friendship, or family, so he chose to use the words — interpersonal relationships.

A common technique used by con artists, middlemen, and Master Lin was to throw away something vague to give room for error.

On the other hand, Ji Zhixiu's heart suddenly became heavy after hearing those words.

Just 20 minutes ago he was betrayed by his hunting group in a secret place. The people hunting him now were none other than his former comrades.

Greed has blinded their eyes.

In other words, Lin Jie wasn't wrong to say that she was facing problems in her interpersonal relationships.

Ji Zhixiu was shocked. Outsiders had learned of the matter in a short period of just 20 minutes. Such spreading speed was clearly unreflectable.

There are only two possibilities.

One, he had planted the informant in his hunting group, and the informant informed him right after the matter had occurred.

Two, this young man before him possessed a kind of ability that knew everything

Ji Zhixiu quietly watched as the towel, which was now seeping into the deep red blood, gradually evaporated into a wisp of acidic smoke before she finally sat down near the counter. He tapped his finger lightly onto the teacup in front of him before speaking softly, “I was betrayed.”

Oh? That's unsurprising.

Lin Jie raised his eyebrows.

It's more melodramatic than I thought. Was his girlfriend cheating on him in the back, or was he stabbed by one of his close friends?

This was undoubtedly top-tier gossip, but Master Lin was a life mentor and not a middle-aged aunt who spoke behind the back of others.

Melodrama just means there's more to be dug out of it.

“There are two sides of everything in this world.you are betrayed, but it can also be an opportunity for you to see what kind of person they are actually”

Lin Jie lifted the teapot and filled his cup with more hot tea before continuing in earnest, “Those who chose to leave will eventually leave. Once they make a decision, they can find thousands of reasons to justify it.”

Ji Zhixiu could very well relate to those words.

The Magic Ovum Mirror was just the axis that triggered their greed. Even if it were not for that, one day would eventually arrive where they would make the same decision as they did today.

It would still be the same result, just for a different reason.

Losing too much. He must have been heartbroken by an asshole. Haa, how sad.

Lin Jie felt sympathy for him.

Wounds on the body can be easily treated, but wounds on the liver take a long time to heal. At times like these his incredible advice is most needed!

Lin Jie placed both of his hands on his chin as he observed Ji Zhixiu closely. A moment later, he spoke in a stern tone, “This will come in handy. You have learned to distinguish one's true face and one's false intentions. you will not pity those who have hurt you because of your past relationships again. The pain you are suffering now will make you wiser than ever.”

These words are powerful and resonating!

Ji Zhixiu stared at Lin Jie's ink, her eyes blank, and her breathing involuntarily became heavier.

Under the dim and warm light, his eyes seemed to be carrying a kind of mysterious magic that was pulling him in. He could feel sympathy and partisanship from her, as if he was a higher being who embraced all life and guided humanity in the right direction. .

It took a while before Ji Zhixiu regained her senses from a daze, and she shook her head vigorously.

He felt that the young man before him had some purpose in his mind to approach him here. At this point, the impression he got from him was that he was not an enemy but an ally who wanted to help him deal with the group of hunters …

Hunters who use the dirty blood of dream creatures as their source of power are considered evil in the eyes of honest witches. Ji Zhixiu concluded that this person did not belong to any of the three factions he had suspected before, rather, he was a high-level magician who hated hunters.

The thugs had an innate mastery of language and words.

“Then..”.

Ji Zhixiu steeled her resolve and took a deep breath. “What should I do?”

“Because they have acted inhumanely, there is no need to uphold courtesy with them. You can handle them in exactly the same way as they treat you. Teeth change teeth, eyes change!” replied Lin Jie.

He did not serve ordinary chicken soup that killed one's soul. Otherwise, he would be lost, making it difficult to maintain him as an ordinary person.

When faced with a bastard, one had to retaliate with a heavy blow!

His customers seemed to be in a confused state at the moment, but as long as he showed the way for him, he would be able to free himself from the confusion and take action.

The disposition of a witch indeed!

Ji Zhixiu opened her other palm, which was hidden under the table. It was covered with blood. Her lips moved a little.

… Putting aside my humanity?

He was not ready or decided to go that far.

“you need to ascertain your thoughts and intentions first. Only then can you prepare yourself properly. ”

Lin Jie calmly looked at the now pensive woman with a smile.

“I think you might need this book.”

The time was ripe for Lin Jie to show her hands, and she smoothly directed the conversation to her merchandise.

Given the atmosphere, it didn't seem wise for him to take the book off the shelf behind him. That would make his intentions too clear.

So, he shifted the book he was reading, Confessions.

Ji Zhixiu accepted it with a blank expression on her face. There were three words written on the cover of — Blood and Beast.

He had read many books during his life, but he had never seen this book before.

Was it written by an obscure writer? Why was he given this book?

With a slight frown, Ji Zhixiu opened the book hesitantly. A moment later, his pupils shrank and his expression changed.

The courtyard was filled with dense ancient characters. These ancient characters warped, combined, and fluctuated all the time. No two lines of characters are the same, but they are strung together into meaningful sentences. Each and every one of these characters can form thousands of words!

This is ... taboo knowledge!

The hunter's face was pale and his body was trembling. The information contained within it was frightening and made him nauseous.

He immediately closed the book, and it took a great deal of effort to catch his breath.

A message had been engraved within his frightened mind.
