Chapter 196: The Book of Demons

Wu Mei nodded again and again, "Yes, why didn't I expect that I would meet a white-robed person again, if I still have the same appearance and height!" Then you'll be 100% sure it's a clone! ”

Nie Tian snorted, and then asked, "Did they say what they were doing with this energy?" ”

"Nope!" Wu Mei shook her head and said, "Let's look layer by layer, we will definitely be able to dig out the secrets here little by little!" ”

The temple was made up of sealed stone chambers, and the walls of the passage were burned with cotton wicks soaked in oil, but the light was still dim.

When leaving the staircase, Nie Tian stretched out his hand and extinguished the cotton wick with a flick, and darkness suddenly shrouded the figures of the two of them.

Unlike normal floors, the stairs in the temple do not go straight up, and after going up to the first floor, you need to go to the other end of this floor to have a staircase leading to the upper floor.

With Nie Tian's night vision and Wu Mei's spiritual power, the road was easy, the oil lamps on the road were extinguished by the two of them one by one, and the two figures were like ghosts in this temple, quietly and silently came to the place leading to the third layer.

Compared with the ground floor, there were fewer people living on the second floor, and Nie Tian clearly heard that many people were in a state of wake, but they all stayed in the separated secret room, and it seemed that there were strict rules that they could not move around without permission, or these white-robed people living in the temple were used to staying in their own secret rooms.

Fortunately, these white-robed people are only human beings, and there have been no monsters for the time being, and Nie Tian and Wu Mei are almost unimpeded all the way.

"It's still two people, a quick battle!" Listening to the movement on the top of the stairs, although the two people above did not talk, their breathing and even the sound of their heartbeats were heard clearly by Nie Tian, and there was no suspense that the two were solved by Wu Mei again.

"There are nine floors in total, let's speed up a little." Wu Mei counted it outside, and this temple was layered on top of each other, and when it reached the highest point, it was a total of nine floors, that is, Wu Mei and Nie Tian needed to go up six more floors to reach the top of the temple.

"Good!"

Nie Tian nodded when he heard this, in this temple, there was a kind of anger everywhere, and the fierce aura and bloody smell emanating from these people showed that none of them were good things, and dying unconscious was already cheaper for them.

Wu Mei released her spiritual power all the way forward, and all the things within ten meters of this layer also appeared in Wu Mei's mind, and after seeing nothing special, they rushed to the fourth layer.

It seems that at the stairs on each floor, there are people guarding them, and the white-robed people guarding each floor are a little higher than the ability of the lower floor, but they are just as Nie Tian thought, they all look exactly the same.

For Wu Mei and Nie Tian, they are still too weak, they were all killed by Wu Mei in seconds, Nie Tian looked at Wu Mei who was decisive in killing, and sometimes he was in a trance Is the beautiful woman in front of him really the Wu Mei he knows?

The structure of the pyramid makes the space smaller and smaller with each upper floor, and when it reaches the fifth floor, it is only less than 400 square meters in size, and unlike the lower floors, there is no separate secret room here, and the smell is much better.

Above the sixth floor, Nie Tian could already look at the entire floor of space at a glance, and there were some objects stacked in this space, and soon his eyes were attracted by a huge book placed on a simple solid wood table.

The book is bound with a wooden cover, and the cover is covered with leather and metal accents. The book is about one meter long, half a meter wide, and about 20 centimeters thick, making it the largest book Nie Tian has ever seen.

Nie Tian stepped forward and moved the book, feeling that this book could have the weight of an adult strong man, he opened it page by page, and found that the book had a total of 357 pages, and 8 of the last sheets were torn off, plus the number of missing pages in the back, it was exactly 365 pages.

The pages inside, presumably made of some kind of animal skin, are all handwritten in cuneiform, using red, blue, yellow, green, and gold as decorative colors, and the first words of all the paragraphs are carefully decorated, some of which occupy half of the page.

Nie Tian and Wu Mei carefully looked through it and found that all the handwriting in the book was exactly the same, and none of the chapters showed changes in handwriting due to age, illness, or emotional influences.

"TMD, these white-robed people are really demons!" The more Wu Mei looked at it, the heavier her face became, and she cursed in a low voice.

"What's wrong? Problematic with these books? Nie Tian looked at Wu Mei with a puzzled expression, and now his mind did not flash out the translation of these cuneiform characters, and he couldn't make out the words in the book, could it be that Wu Mei knew these words?

"How do I know what's written on this?" Wu Mei shook her head and said in a low voice: "But I know what this page is made of, human skin, all made of human skin, and if such a huge book is to be completed, it will take ordinary people at least 20 years, and the handwriting in the book from beginning to end does not fluctuate at all, and none of the chapters show the changes in handwriting due to years, illness, or emotional influences, which shows that this handwriting book was completed in a very short time!" But who could write such a masterpiece in such a short time? ”

"What do you mean, this book wasn't written by people!"

"Yes! And you can make paper out of human skin, not what a demon is! I think it's a devil's book! ”

Wu Mei followed Professor Li to study the theory of superpower, and dabbled in a wide range of items, including relatively rare collectibles, including human skin products.

Although Nie Tian was a little surprised, he was still more concerned about how to leave this space, and he didn't care what this book was made of.

And he knew that there had been a record of using human skin to make books since ancient times, and he didn't take this matter to heart, and said to Wu Mei: "Look at the illustrations above, can you get some useful information!" ”

"Most of the illustrations above are depicting monsters with terrifying appearances, as if they are biological genetic modification projects, and there is nothing special about them!"

Wu Mei shook her head, gave up her place to Nie Tian, pointed to an illustration in the book, and continued: "Only this page is special, there is a circular town drawn on it. ”

"Round town! If the walls of my hometown are not demolished, won't they be round? Nie Tian was shocked, and hurriedly looked at the illustrations in the book, but after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't find which city was on the painting, and muttered, "Where is the painting?" ”

At this time, Wu Mei said: "There are 9 round towns in the world, and the one I can think of is Baghdad, the other is Jerusalem, and Milan is also round......

Nie Tian listened to Wu Mei's explanation, thought for a while, and suddenly became enlightened, and said to Wu Mei: "The small county town in my hometown is also a round town, and all my bizarre encounters started from this round town.

I took a closer look at the illustration, and it wasn't a specific town, but a huge installation. At that time, our small county town was designed according to this look! ”

"That's it! So what do you think this book of demons is about? Wu Mei asked curiously.

"I think it's a book about genetic technology and space travel technology!"

"Then this is a treasure, if we bring it back, won't human technology be another breakthrough?"
