The fate of these old-era nobles will not be much better than that of lunatics or aliens.
"You did a good job...I thought you would indulge them, or mercifully try to change them."
"Because they are just like weirdos." Lu Li did not let them fend for themselves because: "The memories in their heads are still useful."
"I will make Clair give them what they deserve."
Lu Li wanted to know the purpose of the corridor riddle, but the nobles took away all the homologues, and it would take time to dig out the memories from their brains.
The fire was burning, and the wood to be burned fell into Lu Li's hand: a precious autobiography of a demon hunter. They had been burning these things for warmth and lighting.
It is unimaginable how many precious books recording civilization they burned in the past twenty years.
The only good thing is that they were not stupid enough to burn only the books and leave the bookshelves, so there are still two buildings and the collection of books on them left.
"Move them all back."
Lu Li was not going to read through each book one by one until he found clues to "The Dream Demon". These books would be sent back to the Land of Light, where scholars would sort them out and find what Lu Li needed.
There were some torn fire starters scattered around the fire, which were also sorted by the merchant Anthony.
Lu Li continued to investigate the library, walking past the weird piles of garbage mixed with human skeletons.
At this time, the businessman who was still packing books came to Lu Li with a book.
"Ronan's Exploration" - The title of this book was covered with charcoal, and a new name was written next to it: Sal's Diary.
This scion of a prince and noble named Thrall stole a large blank space in "The Collected Works of Ronan" and used every word on the title page to praise his lineage and the long history of his family. Instead, he simply skipped what happened and how to hide in the Demon Slayer.
Association, the longest story is about how he had to participate in killing a viscount's young daughter and eating it because of hunger, and then developed pica, a habit of eating human flesh.
"Compared to the disgusting, swollen, abscessed, squirming weird flesh, the girl's tender meat, the girl's sweet blood, the girl's elasticity, the most delicious food I can recall is only in the prince
The dinner at the birthday banquet." Sal described it in his diary.
According to the diary, in the next few months, they successively ate several relatives and friends who were not nobles, but also a low-status tax official. The owner of the diary was not among the top echelons of refugees, especially after eating several more people.
.
It's almost Sal's turn.
What made him pray for the blessings of his ancestors was that they discovered the riddle at this time, a terrible evil spirit, but the exorcist actually used it to guard the association... The nobles mastered the essence of the riddle and used it to hunt intruders.
The weirdness of the Slayer Association.
So they had a bonfire in the basement, until Sal's thirst for human flesh grew worse and he planned to eat the little finger of someone sleeping next to him tomorrow -
The diary ends here, and Sal has no chance to write in his diary again.
His best ending is to be exiled for attacking his own people, but considering these people cannibalized more than once...
The library is not completely sealed. For example, water flows along the cracks in the wall. There is a small freight elevator in the removed door of the library's utility room, and there is a damp hole with a stinky smell described by businessman Anthony——
Here's why libraries aren't flooded with stinky excrement.
While the businessman Anthony was moving books, Lu Li went to the second underground floor. It was used as a training hall for trainee exorcists. It was quite spacious. Now, some dark creatures were entrenched here. They were weak and smelly, and they fed on each other and their excrement.
The unfaded creed carved on the wall is revealed in the light:
[We use colors to outline the beautiful world, use descriptions to imitate the life of the earth, fill the world with hope as our bones and faith as our flesh and blood]
Lu Li continued to explore downwards, but the stairs leading to deeper levels were blocked. The stone used was very familiar to Lu Li - deep sea stone.
It seems that the Demon Slayer Association once wanted to seal some kind of weird thing underground.
The problem is that as the existence suppressed in the deep sea escapes, the deep sea stone loses its sealing effect...
Are the sealed secrets still underground, or have they already escaped from the association?
Lu Li had no intention of disturbing the unknown existence and returned to the library.
The merchant Anthony only emptied one bookshelf and placed a single book beside the fire.
"Main Volume Investigation of Abnormal Creatures on the Continent"
What made it taken out by the merchant Anthony alone was not the content, but when he opened it, a piece of paper sandwiched between the pages like a bookmark fell towards the fire.
The invisible force lifted it up and dropped it back into Lu Li's hand.
[Those who read this note, I want to say that we never gave up, we really tried our best, we stopped them for a long, long time...so long that everyone despaired, so long that we ourselves had differences. They couldn't kill them.
After all, we reproduce like insects and are as powerful as giant beasts. We never give up, but we must face the fact that there are fewer and fewer of us and more and more of them... At first it was the extraordinary ones, and after they died, it was the turn of legends
They, and then the demon hunters...the demon slayers...the exorcists...]
[Now, it’s my turn. I hope that you who read the note are not waiting for death in despair, but are bathing in the sunshine after the storm]
【We are exorcists】
【——The Exorcist Max Legg】
Lu Li placed the piece of paper on the "Main Volume Investigation of Continent's Abnormal Creatures" and asked the businessman Anthony to deliver it to Tesla.
I explored the upper floors of the Demon Slayer Guild, but nothing was left.
The biggest gain from this trip to the Demon Slayer Headquarters was the three remaining bookshelves in the library.
I hope there are clues to the "Incubus" and the truth.
When Lu Li returned to the underground library, he noticed that his disgust was gradually disappearing. This was definitely not because he was used to this place...
The nobles took away the homologous ones that rejected the weird ones.
It won't be long before this Marian-style building filled with the aura of weirdness and disgust, this exorcist association that once served as the front line of mankind's resistance to weirdness, will be occupied by weirdness.
The businessman Anthony did not leave after moving the library.
"I'm about to set off for the World's Backcrest Mountains."
Lu Li asked the businessman Anthony to bring a message back, and it came back with a message: "You can't leave just yet."
"What's wrong?"
"One of the homologues brought back by the stupid and self-righteous nobles can be easily communicated. It says that the Exorcist Association is suppressing a kind of weirdness. If it is left for too long, the weirdness will escape."
"The riddle of the riddle?"
"You know? Yeah...that's it."
"Do you want to leave it at the Exorcist Society?"
"No, it is to stay in the land of light. It is useful to us, so in order to prevent the suppressed weirdos from escaping, it provides a way: let us collapse there..."
"I'm not saying you have to destroy the Exorcist Association, but destroying it directly is the quickest way."
