The Ninth Secret Bureau

Chapter 186: Book

Views:

The book lying on the rocking chair gives people a weird feeling. It is obviously just an inanimate appliance, but somehow it gives people the feeling that it is a living thing, and it is accompanied by the old rocking chair. , the pages it opened also trembled slightly, like an old man in his dying years sleeping soundly in a chair, exuding an indescribable leisure.

The pages of this book have turned yellow, and the paper it uses is rather strange, at least it is different from the pages used in Chen Xian's impression. Each page is about as thick as two or three sheets of ordinary paper stacked together. The color is dim and dull, and many fine lines can be vaguely seen, as well as some features similar to animal pores, and even some soft fluff can be seen if you look closely, and the page is blank without any content.

Are the pages made of parchment

Chen Xian looked at the strange book in silence, and instinctively analyzed and speculated that since he had seen real ancient parchment scrolls in the shop of the old liar a few years ago, he had a certain understanding of parchment, at least Know the general appearance and state of the parchment.

Most of the real parchment is relatively thin, and when the light passes through, you can see the clear skin texture, the traces of pores left on the skin tissue, etc., which look far more conspicuous than the pages of this book now. Because of this, Chen Xian can roughly conclude that, The pages of this book should not be made of sheepskin, but it must be some kind of animal leather... a very familiar leather, delicate and shiny. Slippery but with a gloomy and dead air.

"What did you bring me here for?" Chen Xian asked, and looked back at the sacrificial demon standing behind him, "You don't want to carry out your sacrificial ceremony here, do you?"

The sacrificial body demon turned a deaf ear to Chen Xian's words, or in its current state it could not hear Chen Xian's voice at all.

In the corner of the room was an old yellowed and old oil lamp, which was currently lit with a little fire. With this dim light, Chen Xian could see very clearly that the sacrificial demon seemed to be a little different from before.

It was standing motionless against the wall, very similar to human eyes rolling. Its fiery red eyeballs with yellow swirls were also rolling upwards as much as possible, and the deep throat kept saying "cluck" The weird sound, like the sound of a living person being strangled and out of breath, protruded outward. The raised Adam's apple was also twitching uncontrollably.

What happened to the sacrificial demon

Chen Xian looked at it in a daze, a little confused about the current situation. Before, the Sacrificial Demon was mighty and domineering and hammered himself on the ground, why is it like this now? It looked as wilted as frost-beaten eggplant.

"People who want to escape from the game... We finally meet..."

Suddenly, an extremely strange voice sounded in the room.

The voice was eerily low, as if it came through some kind of sound transmission device, and strange sounds like electric currents could be heard from time to time.

"Who is talking?" Chen Xian asked with a frown.

If an ordinary stranger fell into Chen Xian's situation and suddenly heard that strange and strange voice, even if he was not frightened half to death, his heart would beat uncontrollably faster, but Chen Xian didn't. He seemed to be aware of this dangerous situation early. It was commonplace, and there was no trace of nervousness on his face, as if he had calmed down from the previous state of rage.

"Have you forgotten me?" The voice was still speaking in a leisurely manner, and the voice gradually changed from an unfamiliar tone to one familiar to Chen Xian.

He will never forget that voice.

Consonance Peak.

The Fog Man who announces the start of the game.

"It's you."

Chen Xian nodded, and the black light parasites covering his body continued to squirm. As it moved, it seemed to have sensed the subtle changes in Chen Xian's mood. Those liquid metals kept protruding in the shape of meridians of the human body but then shrunk in an instant, repeating this strange movement all the time.

"You are the main body?" Chen Xian asked.

At this time, as if an invisible person invisible to the naked eye was turning the pages of the book, the book lying on the old rocking chair suddenly trembled twice and turned the pages by itself, making a very clear sound of turning the book.

Chen Xian was silently observing that weird book from the beginning to the end, only to see that after it quickly turned a few pages by itself, the "paper" used for the pages changed into another look.

Different from the first page, the blank page that appeared this time... seemed to be made of some kind of fish skin tissue, with many mottled and dense dents. Just seeing those scars that made the scalp tingle, Chen Xian felt a sense of drowsiness. Reminiscent of the fishy-smelling scales it had before.

"I've been looking for someone like you for a long time..." the voice said slowly.

At this time, Chen Xian also noticed the source of the voice.

This is the book.

It is the book that speaks!

Although Chen Xian came up with a very intuitive answer, he couldn't believe his own judgment, because he could never have imagined that... the real culprit behind this extraordinarily strange case turned out to be a book!

"Are you talking? Are you a book?" Chen Xian stared at the old book that was turning pages automatically, his eyes filled with disbelief, "You did all of this?"

"You say I'm a book?" The voice seemed a little unhappy, and the tone became dangerous, "This description is the greatest insult to me..."

With a bang, the pages of the old book were closed, and only then did Chen Xian see the cover of the book clearly.

When Chen Xian saw the cover of this book, he couldn't help feeling horrified.

Ugly and stinking.

Chen Xian retched instinctively, this was the first time Chen Xian experienced the feeling of being so nauseated that he couldn't help but want to vomit.

"It turns out that you are not an abnormal life..."

"If I were you, I would worry about my situation first." A weird smile appeared on the corner of its mouth, and it spoke in a very soft voice, and every ups and downs in its tone were inexplicably disgusting.

Chen Xian hummed, and looked down at his hands.

"Is this what you did?"

"I've been looking for you for a long time... since the day I woke up... I've been looking for you..." It seemed to have a special feeling in its tone, and Chen Xian could feel the heartfelt joy in its words, "As I wish...you were still attracted by me..."

"Bring me here?" Chen Xian's expression froze, as if he realized something from these simple words, "Your goal from the beginning was me? Killing those people is also to lure me out?"

It was silent for two seconds, then suddenly smiled.

"From the beginning to the end, this is a game that belongs to me. I have arranged the most reasonable story for you. You performed in this story... very perfect. I have never liked a character so much."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Chen Xian's mood seemed to change uncontrollably, and his voice became a little higher, "You arranged all of this?"

The old book opened automatically without warning, and opened a certain page in the middle.

Unlike the pages Chen Xian saw before, the content of this page is not blank... It is densely filled with red words.

"On that seemingly ordinary day, Chen Xian's excellent body finally received a strange case arranged by Huo Jiazi. Hearing that there were many innocent victims in this strange case, Chen Xian made up his mind to deal with it. This strange case also needs to deal with the hidden me behind... He went to Lingxi Mountain according to the instructions of his superiors. He wanted to protect the little girl who seemed dangerous but would never die. Chen Xian was really stupid, even though she It's just my bait, but how can I be willing to kill my own bait? That's too cruel!"

"They seem to be very nervous. In fact, they don't need to be so nervous, because I don't want to kill anyone, I just want to have a little prelude to fear... Shhh, the mirror rang."

"I like bugs, so I want them to get in touch with the things I like, especially Chen Xian. It seems that the pressure on him is not strong enough. I need to add another fire to draw him to me, such as throwing a Beautiful lie, I said that I would kill all humans in Ningchuan City tonight."

"He believed it."
