The store manager walked up to Ringer, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and the two of them returned to where they had set off.

Looking at the bustling streets in front of him, Ringer had a sense of unreality, as if the places he had just visited were hallucinations, and maybe he hadn't gone anywhere.

Behind it is still the same emerald storefront, but there is no sign.

"Okay, if you have any questions now, just ask." When the store manager laughed, his eyes narrowed and he seemed to be in a good mood.

When she set out from here, she said that when she returned, she would tell Ringer the purpose of the trip.

But Ringer is now more concerned with another thing than that.

"What was it that gagged me in that darkness just now?"

When he asked this question, his gaze involuntarily fell on the store manager's slightly curled lips.

"Hey, that's what you're asking?" The store manager didn't seem to expect Ringer to ask such an inconsequential question first, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Yes, please tell me, I care."

"Haha, you're surprisingly innocent," the store manager laughed, "Okay, then I'll tell you, it's mine." ”

The store manager tapped his finger on his lips and said it nonchalantly.

"Because my hands were too busy at the time, I had to use this place to gag your mouth."

Although there had been a guess for a long time, after it was really confirmed, Ringer's heart was still slightly shocked, and at the same time, he felt a little relieved, at least it was not a strange creature in the dark......

"Like it? If you like that feeling, you can do it every time we meet in the future, this is a special benefit for excellent employees~"

The store manager leaned forward, and his slightly upturned lips were particularly attractive.

Ringer was shocked, but quickly retracted.

"Thank you manager, but no, no need......

Then quickly change the subject:

"Why did the store manager do that?"

The shopkeeper stretched out his right hand in front of Ringer, and a delicate inkwell with a feather appeared in the palm of his white palm.

"For it."

"What is this?" Ringer stared at the mouth of the bottle, which seemed to be black enough to swallow the light.

"Ink from the abyss."

"Abyss...... Was there anything else around us at the time? Ringer remembered the cold thing that had licked the back of his neck.

"Yes, an old friend of mine, who hates light and all sounds, that's why I told you to keep quiet. We're friends, but if I make her angry, she won't necessarily give me face. She licked you back then, right? She must have liked the taste of you, so she gave me so much ink and brought you with her. The store manager looked at the inkwell in his palm with satisfaction.

Seeing the expression of the store manager, Ringer suddenly had a feeling of being sold, and the store manager at this time looked like one of those unscrupulous bosses who used the beauty of employees to make deals, and he was the betrayed employee.

"But don't get me wrong, I'm not bringing you here for this purpose, but also to tell you something important." The store manager clarified.

"Something important?"

"Do you know where this is?"

Ringer shook his head in disagreement.

The shopkeeper withdrew his palm and looked at the lively street nearby.

"This is another world different from the Ios continent, and it is also a world that is open on the Emerald, but it will not be long before this world dies."

Ringer's pupils shrank slightly.

"It's like moving a shop from one place to another, but the emerald moves in the world, and this is the world where the emerald used to be in business. So when I first came here, I asked you to feel the world, this world that is about to die...... It's good for your future work, but you don't seem to be aware of it. ”

"Remember the first old man I took you to? That palace was located in the highest heaven of the heavenly realm, and the people who reveled there were all the gods of the heavenly realm, and the one with a few balls floating on his head was the only god king. ”

"The place after that is the abyss, you already know this, the one who licked you, the one who gave me the ink, is Manos, the lord of the abyss, and he also knows that this world is about to die."

"And then the one in the library is the great sage of the human race, and the only one among the human race who knows the truth."

The store manager said everything slowly, and his tone was calm and calm.

"What about the last few graves?"

Some people died, but not completely......
