I'm Really Not the Demon God's Lackey Chapter 408: Monument of Fire, Wedge of Life

"Haa, Norzin's industrial pollution is really getting worse…"

As usual, Lin Jie woke up early and opened the bookstore door, feeling slightly giddy as he saw the thick fog outside.

The sun hadn't been visible for a few days in a row, but Lin Jie didn't mind. He had been an otaku for more than 20 years in the 21st century. After coming to Norzin, he could use the heavy smog as an excuse to stay at home.

However, the fog today was really too thick, reaching the point where it would be impossible to distinguish the gender of a person standing three meters away.

The rising fog moved slowly along the ground like the hems of a flowing white dress, making it seem as if it were alive.

Lin Jie looked out through the open door of the shop, the thick fog reminded him of Earth's 'City of Fog.' (T/L note: Most likely referring to London)

The bookstore was empty and quiet. Mu'en had already gone to the branch in the Central District, and Joseph had gone to get material and tools needed for the new store. Only Lin Jie was left alone in the empty bookstore.

Lin Jie had been very curious about Joseph's display of extraordinary power previously. Unfortunately, both Mu'en and Joseph had been very busy, so he couldn't sit down and talk to them.

Once Mu'en fully sets up the branch in the Central District, Joseph, who has retired, would be my new assistant in the old bookstore. I should have lots of time to ask him then... Lin Jie thought to himself before picking up a book from the bookshelf and flipping through it.

However, to his surprise, he had actually read this book before.

"Strange… Books taken from the bookshelves at random shouldn't be repeated. This is the whole Earth's entire library."

Lin Jie didn't believe it and drew a few more books from the shelves, but found that this was the same case.

He had read each of these books and knew what would appear on the next page.

A scary but reasonable thought came into his mind. Could it be that the books aren't repeating, but it's because I've already read all the books?
