Chapter 542 The Second Half of the Devil's Handwriting
Lulu's library is an out-and-out treasure trove. After watching "The Fall of the Dragons", even Lux lingered here.
It was only after Lulu came back and reminded them that it was time to rest that they came to their senses.
"Lulu, while I was cooking, did you or your friends pick up a book here? It's called "The Devil's Handbook."
"Hmmmmmm..."
Lulu frowned when she heard this: "This book... I don't seem to have any impression of it."
She patted the handrail of the stairs: "Search "Devil's Script"!"
ladder:……
No response.
"...Eh?" Lulu scratched her head.
"Well, there is no title on the cover of that book. You have to open it to find it." Chai Anping guessed that this might be the reason.
"I did collect a lot of strange books. Those were the books I brought from a weird ruins. Hmm... I'm not sure if some books have strange properties, but I should all
It should be sealed securely."
Chai Anping laughed twice: "I opened the book and read half of it."
Lulu looked at her steadily: "You do have a strange aura about you. Since that book wants you to see it, maybe you should try coming here alone again."
The person chosen by the devil's handwriting?
Chai Anping raised his eyebrows, wondering if he was close to the devil... Emotional power is indeed one of them!
Is this the reason?
The two of them put down their books and returned to their rooms, both feeling a little worried.
The bloody truth hidden in the fog of history cannot be explored by anyone. That is to say, their current strength has completely transcended the scope of mortals, so the side effects are only so small.
"Gracie, I can't sleep."
Lying in bed, Lux had a rare insomnia.
"Um……"
Chai Anping was also a little unable to sleep: "How about some exercise?"
"Don't you want it?" Lux wrapped her hands around Chai Anping and spoke in a sweet voice: "Be careful that Miss Lulu hears you."
"You're right, Lulu is so weird, she might really jump out and scare us." Chai Anping thought for a moment and nodded cautiously.
So the two just hugged each other quietly, feeling each other's warmth and listening to each other's breathing and heartbeat.
Lux lightly touched Chai Anping's collarbone, leaving a moist feeling, silently telling how much she loved this moment.
Chai Anping patted her back gently, humming a lullaby from her past life as if coaxing a child.
After a long time, Lux's breathing became even and she fell into a deep sleep.
Chai Anping grinned and waited for a while before getting up and out of bed.
The windows in the room are light-proof, so even if the sky outside is still shining, it will not affect your sleep.
Just now, he inexplicably felt the appearance of the "Devil's Script" again. This feeling of not coming made him very concerned, so he decided to check it again.
He quietly left the room and returned to the library.
"Retrieve the "Devil's Script"!"
As expected, the stairs began to move this time, and soon brought him to the top floor of the library.
"The Devil's Script" lies quietly on the bookshelf, bound by chains, waiting for the reader to come.
"I am really destined to be with you..."
After touching his nose, Chai Anping reached out to take down the book, untied the restraints, and started again.
In this towering library, the devil's whisper sounded again.
[There is a problem with my state, I am a devil! I am a devil! I am...a devil?]
The sharp brushstrokes seemed to reveal the madness on the page. Chai Anping frowned. He had just finished talking about hunting the God of Death, and now Behemoth suddenly said that he was not in the right state... Is there something missing in the middle?
【It’s mortals...influenced!】
[Investigation on the influence of mortal thoughts on physical existence: secretly controlling ten towns and gradually increasing the understanding that "Behemos is a lust demon".
The investigation failed. The ups and downs of his own status and the increase in the number of people are irregular. It is suspected that the mortals in the mainland are jointly influencing it.】
[Investigation 2:...
Investigation failed.]
[Investigation 3:...
Investigation failed!]
【……
Investigation 21:……
I am the devil! I am the devil! I am the devil!
Investigation terminated.】
[I continue to embark on the journey of pursuing knowledge. After completely accepting the identity of a demon, my desire for knowledge becomes more and more pious. Only knowledge in the world is eternal! I am a lust demon!
The heavenly being Barcelona invited me to participate in the study of runes. I accepted his invitation and became a member of the "World Truth" organization.
After joining the organization, I learned that the Celestial Beings had been secretly collecting world runes. They were also studying the integration of world runes with star magic to draw on more rune power.
They achieved initial success, but they had already reached the maximum efficiency of indirect utilization of the world's runes, which they named 'Inscription'.
The inscription is great, and I have learned more about the ‘unsealed secret book’ through this, and the truth of the world is opening its arms to me!]
It can be seen with the naked eye that since the end of the investigation, Behemoth's words have become cumbersome and garrulous, and there are even some meaningless groans, which have been automatically omitted by Chai Anping.
Moreover, this period of cooperation with Barcelona was quite long and occupies a considerable space in the notes.
"His condition is indeed not right anymore."
[The research on runes is deepening day by day. The knowledge is so tempting that I can't help but be addicted to it.
Finally, the last experiment began. Before this experiment began, I foresaw the fragmentation of the organization. Barcelona, like me, has a crazy obsession with knowledge.
We successfully shattered a rune.]
"..."
Chai Anping was stunned. Is the rune you smashed wrapped around my hand?
[Smashing the runes confirms the destructibility of the runes, and the fragments still have some power. The utilization efficiency of the runes has reached 100%!
But at the same time, the cost of shattering the runes was beyond everyone's imagination. The heavenly beings who supported the experiment were wiped out by the will of the world. All those involved in the experiment were punished. Both Barcelona and I were severely damaged.
I escaped from the organization, and the ‘Unsealed Secret Book’ refused my questions from then on.]
【Pain! The truth rejected me!】
[Aurelion Sol, who returned from the universe, rejected my request. He said that I had fallen and was no longer a pious seeker of knowledge.]
【No, I am a lust demon! 】
In the notes, Behemoth seemed to have completely fallen into madness. He started various strange experiments and tried to regain the right to use the unsealed secret book, but the results were undoubtedly failures.
He has been shut out of knowledge!
Despair accelerated his madness, and any of his experiments were tantamount to atrocities.
[At a certain moment, I understood that this was my fate after destroying the runes, this was my destiny!]
[I am not a devil, I am just a poor guy who was rejected. I finally tried to absorb the power that had been tempting me, so I became stronger than ever.
The door to knowledge was forcibly opened by me, and the "unsealed secret book" that was out of control told me countless truths.
Ah ~ truth!
So sweet!
I absorbed all the energy called 'lust', and irreversible distortions occurred in my body, but my thirst for knowledge undoubtedly became purer.
Aurelion Sol was wrong, I am still the most devout seeker of knowledge in the world!!!]
[Barcelona wants to seize my runes, how dare he! But he is the one who knows the ‘unsealed secret book’ best besides me, and he does have a reason...
It's a pity that he didn't know that I had become extremely powerful, so I killed him!
He will eventually return from the stars, so I erased all his power and memory at the same time.]
【……】
[There was a war between the heavenly beings and the gods born from nature, and I joined the side against the heavenly beings. At that time, the gods were shocked to realize that the heavenly beings had become extremely powerful while unknown to the public. They combined the world's runes with
The stars merged and gave birth to extremely powerful "star spirits". The star spirits became part of the rules of Runeterra. They are the same as the gods born in nature! They even control the universe!]
[The war was cruel and countless gods died. Why didn’t Aurelion stop it? Did he leave the continent again? 】
[The Star Spirits try to fight against the entire continent, they are going to lose!]
【Why?!】
[Aurelion Sol is back! He wears a golden crown on his head, but there is a celestial being standing on his back!!!]
[How dare the gods dare to blaspheme Aurelion Sol like this!!!]
[The Celestials have won. They used despicable magic to control the great Aurelion Sol. He is no longer great. He is killing his children. I saw him shed tears.]
[On the eve of death, I record my last thoughts here.
When dawn comes, I will try to dispel the magic of heaven. This is the only thing left that I can do. I let the "unsealed secret book" go, but I don't think that knowledge has left me. On the contrary
, I achieved true piety at this time.
I have complete control over my 'lust'.
I understand Aurelion Sol's criticism of me. Looking back on my book, I seem to have made too many mistakes.
I am a lust demon, but it seems I am not.
I am just a seeker of knowledge, a poor soul lost in the vast knowledge.]
