Chapter 44: The Inside Story of the Crossing
In Levi's stunned eyes, he found that the old monk with the human skin book was completely shriveled, as if his life was constantly being withdrawn. But there was no pain on his face, and the features that were almost gathered together smiled, as if they had planned to succeed.
"Lord, what is this?" Levi walked out from behind the Buddha statue, looked at the head of the Fujiwara family, and asked.
He wasn't ready to go into hiding, and decided to go straight to the showdown.
A bad premonition lingered in his heart, especially the scorched corpse in the middle of the summoning circle, and he was not mistaken, even the location of the wound, the degree of the burn, the height, the size of the body, and so on were exactly the same as his stand-in fanaticism.
Combined with the Fujiwara family's claim that he had picked him up at the Demon Buddha Temple, Levi had a guess that he couldn't calm down. The main thing is, why, they are now in the Demon Buddha Temple in Mt. Hiei.
But the head of the Fujiwara family didn't seem to hear any sound, he just looked at the charred corpses in the circle, and his face was full of fanaticism.
"Fujiwara family master!" Levi stepped forward directly, stretched out his hand, and was about to grab the neck of the Fujiwara family master.
But his hand went straight through the body of the head of the Fujiwara family. There is no feeling of touching the real thing.
This is......
Levi directly took out the revolver and shot the head of the Fujiwara family, but the bullet went straight through his skull, and he still smiled feverishly, as if he was celebrating and excited about the successful launch of this technique that had been prepared for decades.
"Is this an illusion?" Levi was stunned.
"It worked!" The excited voice of the head of the Fujiwara family came.
Levi turned his head suddenly, the old monk had completely turned into a puddle of ashes, and in the center of the circle, the charred corpse had turned into a face that was extremely familiar to Levi.
That's his face!
The entire plane shattered, the Buddha statue, the temple, the head of the Fujiwara family, and the face that was exactly like him shattered before his eyes.
Levi found himself next to the Bone Tree, the roots of the trees exposed everywhere were jagged, and a skull suddenly grew on the trunk of the Bone Tree, and then, human hand bones stretched out from both sides of the skull, and the two white bone arms respectfully held a leather book and handed it to Levi.
"Everyone, ......," Levi shouted, he recognized it, and the book was the book in the hands of the old monk in the illusion just now.
The giant tree of bones in front of him may really be the head of the Fujiwara family.
"Are you really the head of the Fujiwara family? That is to say, I was not picked up by you from the Demon Buddha Temple, but summoned by you from another world? Answer me! Levi looked at the skull, and the last sentence was uttered almost word for word.
The skull looked at Levi, at this moment, he lowered his head stiffly, as if he didn't dare to look at Levi, he just silently stretched out his arm, and the human leather book was handed to Levi.
The cover of the human skin book seems to be rubbed with a human face wailing in pain, and the entire book cover seems to be a living human skin. What puzzled Levi the most was that the text on the cover of the book was not Sakurakuni's script, but a syllabic character similar to Latin.
D-class language proficiency still made Levi recognize the Latin text on the cover, Necronomicon!
When Levi reached out and touched the Book of the Dead, the system prompt sounded without any movement.
[The host has come into contact with the valuables and is in the process of collecting them...... Congratulations to the host for obtaining the EX-level item "Necronomicon"!

Synopsis: Books with forbidden knowledge ......]
The "Book of Necronomicon" in front of him turned into a streamer and disappeared in an instant, and then Levi looked at the rating of this weird human skin book in a daze, EX-level!
The highest-rated equipment in his hand now is only the A-level Sky Feather Feather Slash. The A grade is above the S grade, and in addition to the regular top-to-bottom rating such as SABCD, there is also a rating of EX, which is unknown.
After seeing Levi take the "Book of the Necromy", the most violent earthquake occurred in the entire Fujiwara Prefecture, and the walls of all the nearby houses almost collapsed, creating a huge crack in the center of Fujiwara Prefecture, almost separating the whole of Kyoto.
The body of the Bone Tree began to dissipate, and the Book of Necrofunctions automatically appeared in front of Levi, pages of paper flipping through them, and the Bone Tree gradually turned into a streamer into the Book of Necrokonomicon, rubbing into one of the pages.

The Bone Tree disappeared completely, the earth stopped shaking, and the central area of Fujiwara Prefecture became a bottomless pit.
Levi put away the Book of Necronomicon in his hand and looked at the page of the bone tree, he could now be 100% sure that this bone wood must be the head of the Fujiwara family.
Angry? Because the head of the Fujiwara family deceived himself.
But when he thought that if it weren't for the summoning ceremony of the head of the Fujiwara family and the old monk, he might have died completely in that forest fire. This evil and ominous church does not know what it is planning, but it does give him a second life.
Even his system may be inextricably linked to their so-called sect.
He had so many questions he wanted to ask the head of the Fujiwara family, including the name of their sect, their purpose, why they summoned him, what the outer gods were, and so on.
Now all he knew was that the only two people who had ties to the church had died, the old monk had died in the ceremony that summoned him, and the head of the Fujiwara family had died not long ago.
And not so long ago, on the other side of the Fujiwara Prefecture West Courtyard.
Koizumi, Tsuchigomon, Nagato, and Lotus Ka are all trapped here. The three of them were back to back, Koizumi was already injured all over his body, he was originally a sword master cultivated by the Fujiwara family, although he was not the top one, but he was still able to kill demons.
And behind the Tsuchigomon Nagato, there seems to be a tengu phantom, more like a stand-in messenger than Levi.
The solid Zen staff in Master Lianhua's hand had already bent, and the breathing of the three of them was very rapid.
Countless bones and roots attacked them, and several people supported each other to barely survive.
At this moment, the earth shook, and the bones and roots disappeared one by one in a very short time.
"Gotta ...... Saved......"
