Section 329 The Untouchable Future
"Why?" Chen Yan didn't look back, his finger lingered on the next page. "You know, I'm interested in the knowledge of demons. Especially when it comes to my interests. ”
"Because it's not yet the day you open it." The voice continued, and then Babylon the Great stepped out of the darkness, dressed in red and dragging to the ground, its tiny bare feet like white jade, contrasting with the pitch-black floor.
She slowly walked behind Chen Yan, her beautiful face without a smile.
"Unknown confusion, untouchable fate. A book that writes about what is meant to be. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to hold back my curiosity. But nothing in this world comes without a price. To touch the future that cannot be carried is to pay the price of being unbearable. ”
Speaking of this, Babylon the Great stopped and looked at Chen Yan's back silently. "Trust me, it's for your own good."
"For my good?" Chen Yan was silent, and then chuckled. I haven't heard this for a long time. Although people have often said this to me before, the purpose is for themselves. ”
"I know I can't dissuade you, you can try." Babylon the Great raises her eyebrows lovingly. "Try to turn the last few pages?"
"If you don't say I'll do too." Chen Yan said indifferently, and really put his finger on the last few pages. For a moment, he felt an indescribable aura encompass him, darkness, despair, fear, silence. There is no future...... Despite being in the library, it was as if he saw the end of the world, the end of all things.
A sharp pain came, and he lowered his head, only to realize that his fingertips had blackened and then disappeared.
It's like an eraser of your handwriting.
Chen Yan was so hot that he left his fingers, and his pupils contracted slightly. "What is this?"
"The power of fate. You've touched a plane you shouldn't be in. Big Babylon whispered, stepped forward and grabbed Chen Yan's fingers, her slender palm rubbed slightly on Chen Yan's fingers, feeling very gentle and silky. A faint warmth enveloped Chen Yan's fingers, and he regained his sense of the fingers again.
The black ash of the fingertips shook off, revealing new fingers.
"Regeneration?" Chen Yan looked at his finger with some curiosity, it was hard to believe that it had disappeared a few seconds ago.
"It's just de-escalating the conflict." Babylon the Great raised his head and looked at Chen Yan's face. "Existence erased by the Book of Demons cannot be regenerated, but fortunately you have only been in contact with it for a short time, and it is timely to return it. Otherwise, no one will be able to retrieve your finger. ”
"I see." Chen Yan sighed. It was brief, but he did feel the kind of power that Babylon the Great mentioned, that kind of price. She was right, this book is indeed not something she can open now, and the result of opening it is destruction. It is not death, but a negation of the meaning of existence, an incomprehensible absolute.
Chen Yan had never seen such a power, and he didn't want to see it.
"The Book of Demons, when will it be turned to the end?"
"I don't know." Babylon the Great replied. There was a twinkle in his eyes. "All I know is that every flip of it adds strength to us, like our mother, to grow and grow stronger. We will add new companions until the last day. ”
"And then?" Chen Yan raised his eyebrows. "Just like the legend of the main material world, destroy everything?"
"Where do you think we're going to do that?"
To Chen Yan's surprise, Big Babylon asked curiously, looking confused. "We've never been given such orders, and we don't feel any calling. And I'm living a good life now, enjoying this life, why destroy? ”
"Uh......" Chen Yan opened his mouth, speechless. He can't be said to be a legend of the main material world, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the judgment at the end of the world. Although gods and demons are no longer ethereal in this world, this kind of legend is too nonsense. Demons have demonic wills, how can they really be as legendary? Do you want to live and die?
"Well, maybe I'm overthinking." In desperation, Chen Yan could only shrug his shoulders and end the topic.
Babylon didn't ask, but just took the book of demons from Chen Yan and put it back on the shelf. "It's not that I don't want to show you, but this book belongs here, in this position. And I was born from it. If you take it, you know the consequences. ”
"Will you be your mortal enemy?" Chen Yan asked with a smile.
"Will be the mortal enemy of all demons." Babylon the Great replied. "No one wants to put their fate in the hands of someone else, and neither do you. Even if you are one of us. ”
"Okay." Chen Yan said with a smile, and raised another question. "Speaking of which, you've said more than once that I'm one of you, but why can't I feel the characteristics of the demons? And your face ......"
"Just because you don't feel a trait doesn't exist doesn't exist. As for my face. Babylon the Great paused abruptly and smiled strangely.
"Are you sure you want to see me like that guy?"
That guy was referring to the Hell Knight, Chen Yan knew. So he shook his head decisively. "No, I think it's better."
"Look, isn't that the answer?" Babylon the Great said with a smile. "Women love beauty, maybe you should discuss the topic of beauty with me? My room is good, and there is good red wine, if you like fresh, I have a lot of tender and delicious little ones for you to choose. ”
"I ...... Forget it. Chen Yan had a loud alarm in his heart. Looking at the smiling Babylon in front of me, it was as if I saw her beautiful face melt in front of my eyes and turn into a skeleton like a knight of hell. Immediately, I felt a cool breath from head to toe.
This is no joke, and according to Babylon the Great, it is a real possibility. Demons are all skeletal faces, why is she different?
"Well, what a boring man." Big Babylon looked at Chen Yan for a while, and found that he really didn't want to roll the sheets with himself, so he could only sigh helplessly. "Then go up there, Loki and Oberon are looking for you. Looks like I'm in a hurry. ”
"They're looking for me? Why didn't you say it earlier? ”
"Who cares if they're not in a hurry, it's not mine." Babylon the Great said impatiently. "Besides, is there such a thing as sacrifice that needs to be taken so seriously? Just a few little souls. ”
"......" Chen Yan was too lazy to talk to Big Babylon, turned around and rushed out of the library.
Sacrifice?
Have you finally waited for this? Babylon the Great may not have known that sacrifice was normal and ordinary for them, but it was extraordinary for themselves.
Because this is the only way for me to return to the main material realm at the moment.
Be......
Go home......
