Chapter 106 Human Skin Book
Under the cover of night, a figure was running fast on the street. He was running so fast that his figure could not be seen at all. Only an elongated afterimage was left.
The streets are filled with red-eyed zombies.
However, these zombies had no effect on the running man at all.
He flew past quickly, and only when their backs disappeared did the zombies' heads fall down in unison.
Finally, Chiyou stopped in front of a tall building.
For several hours, he controlled his clone to travel thousands of kilometers from the city where the devil's treasure chest was found to the current location of the protagonist group.
Chiyou has always been a man of executive style. Since he has decided to make Li Shouyun fail in the first villain battle, he will not go back on his word.
"Then let this city fall into complete chaos."
Chi You put the Miao Dao aside, took out a gold-grade longbow from his waist bag, tied the message he had written long ago to the arrow feathers, and the arrow turned into a stream of light and shot accurately into the house.
Chiyou didn't care how the people in the house would react after seeing the information. After shooting an arrow, he immediately left and headed to the next area where the Eagle Claw Gang was located.
In less than twenty minutes, Chiyou notified the Eagle Claw forces in every area.
Tomorrow will surely be quite lively.
But now, he has something else to do.
He is very concerned about the images within the Godhead.
He wants to investigate.
If you really want to use Godhead as a trump card, it won't hurt to know more about it.
After the divine nature merged into his body, he had a feeling that attracted him to the corners of the city.
If I really have to describe this feeling, it's a bit like the protagonists are being led by fate.
But this time, the luck surrounding him did not change at all.
Therefore, it was not the destiny bestowed by the world's will that led him to the church.
Could it be that the Godhead led him here?
In the image, the side where the master of the godhead is located clearly represents darkness and evil, which is obviously not the same as the will of the world that chose Li Shouyun.
But what if Li Shouyun is a product of brainwashing by the world's will?
So if he gathers all the godhood, will he end up being a puppet of the evil god?
It's not impossible.
But even though he had this worry now, after a brief hesitation, Chiyou still rushed to the place that exuded attraction.
He might need to face the will of the world in the end, and simply relying on upgrading and getting equipment would definitely not be enough.
The evil god may be a choice, and it may be the only choice.
Chiyou hurried to the corner of the city and arrived at his destination.
"church?"
In front of Chiyou was an old church with its door closed, exuding a depressing atmosphere.
Chiyou tried to push it, but it didn't move.
The next moment, ice crystals flashed.
The heavy door broke in two with a loud bang and slammed heavily on the ground.
Chi Youmai walked into the church. He took out a prop from his waist bag and threw it onto the ceiling. The ball lit up and barely illuminated the church like a light bulb.
Chiyou looked around, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
There were absolutely no signs of human life in the church, no teams, and no signs of zombies.
Not to mention...
"It's not just that no one has come for three months."
Chiyou's hand brushed across the table in the hall. There was a thick layer of dust on it. It was impossible for it to be damaged to this extent in three months. It would take at least a dozen years, or even longer, to accumulate such a thick layer of dust.
The church is simple in structure, closed, and has simple facilities. There are no other rooms, and the only thing in the hall, apart from the chairs, is a high platform in front.
There are seven statues on both sides of the platform, looking weird and strange.
The first statue on the left side near the platform looks like a handsome man with three pairs of wings on his back.
The second one looks a bit like a snake and a whale.
The third one grew a pair of devil wings.
The fourth one is the two-headed bird.
The fifth had horns on his head, a sharp tail, and a beard.
The sixth one looked like a giant fly.
The last one was very fat, with two goat heads hanging around its neck.
Is this a statue of the seven deadly sins?
Sister Chiyou has been hospitalized for a long time. In addition to studying, she occasionally reads some bizarre mythological stories to relieve the pain.
When Chiyou came to accompany his sister, he also watched a lot.
The details vary greatly in different mythological stories, and the demons of the seven deadly sins are also different, but the symbol of the handsome angel statue has never changed.
The embodiment of arrogance, the fallen angel Lucifer.
But if I remember correctly, in most of the mythological stories he read, Lucifer and Satan were closely related, and in many stories the two were simply the same entity.
So who is the statue on the platform?
Seven statues surround a platform, and on top of the platform sits an unfinished statue. No one knows what it is, but its status is clearly higher than the seven deadly sins.
Could this be the evil god?
"There should be books in the church that record the gods worshipped."
Chiyou searched the church but found nothing.
"The only thing left to search is the platform."
Looking at the platform surrounded by statues, Chiyou always felt that there was danger there, but there was really no intelligence around. He hesitated for a moment, and then, relying on his clone's fearlessness of death, he stepped onto the platform.
After stepping onto the platform, it was not as dangerous as I had imagined.
The platform is circular with a diameter of less than ten meters, and the statue occupies nearly half of the area.
In front of the statue, there is a table with a thick book on it. The book is very worn out, but there is not a speck of dust on it. It is out of place in this dusty church.
Chiyou picked up the book. The cover felt strange. Just touching it made him feel icy cold and hair-raising.
human skin book.
Three words emerged in Chiyou's mind. Although there was no evidence and he couldn't tell the difference, he instinctively had a feeling that the cover of this book was made of human skin.
The devil is worshipped in the church.
The human skin book on the platform.
What cult ruins are here?
Chiyou turned the book over and saw four large dark red characters written on it: "Chapter of the Devil".
Another strange thing happened.
Mythological stories like demons and angels are not part of the mythological system of Chiyou’s country. A human-skin book that should have been passed down from long ago actually has the language written in the native language of Chiyou’s country?
Logically speaking, it should be the writing system of other countries.
Chiyou opened the book. Every page inside was made of the same material as the cover, so although the book looked thicker, Chiyou finished reading the entire book in less than twenty minutes.
The content is very simple, describing a war between hell and heaven.
But the result is not victory for one side, but loss for both sides.
Hell and heaven collapsed, leaving only the Lord and the King of each alive.
At the end of the book, there is a sentence saying that Wang is always working hard to rebuild hell.
That’s the end of the book.
The book contains some famous sayings of the King of Hell and some of his deeds, but it mainly talks about the war between heaven and hell.
Chiyou studied it some more, even cutting each page with a knife to see if there was anything inside, but he found nothing. In the end, he could only put the book in his waist pocket and searched the church again, but there was really nothing inside, so he left.
And the moment he walked out of the church, the ancient church collapsed.
Chiyou turned around in surprise and doubt.
Collapsed?
What is going on?
Although the church is old, it has not fallen into disrepair or is on the verge of collapse. How could it suddenly collapse?
Could it be this?
Chiyou thought of the human-skin book that he had put into his waist pocket. Could it be that the purpose of the church's existence was to allow people to discover this human-skin book? After it was taken away, the church had no meaning to exist, so it collapsed?
…
Ps: There is no need to guess the role of the church and this book. They will only be used in the last chapter of the finale. The rebirth of the protagonist and the truth of the end of the world will also be explained in the last chapter. It has been planned long ago, so don't worry.
