Chapter 240: Asgard and the Book of Wisdom (9)

The warehouse was silent, and the sunlight poured down from the high window lattices, illuminating the dust floating in the air, placing the hidden bookstore in a sacred pillar of light. At this moment, the noise outside seemed very distant, like the sound of being blown by the wind.

Cheng Mo observed the white chalk lines on the table, which were shaped like butterfly wings instead of human arms. Suddenly, Cheng Mo remembered the term "butterfly effect". It was coined by meteorologist Lorenz in the sixties and originally meant that a butterfly in the Amazon rainforest of South America, with an occasional flap of its wings, could cause a tornado in Texas, USA, two weeks later.

In fact, most people don't know that this sentence is just an abstract description of Lorenz, because he entered three more decimal places when he used a computer to perform a weather simulation, which was only three decimal places, causing a huge difference in the calculation results.

However, this statement is very problematic, in the real world, no matter how many times a butterfly flapps its wings, it cannot change the probability of a hurricane in nature, and this probability is still determined by the nature of the entire weather system, and the nature of the butterfly cannot be changed.

Nothing to do with butterflies. If it really matters, there are so many butterflies in the world, and there are butterflies flapping their wings countless times every minute, if they can really cause a hurricane, how busy is the hurricane?

So in physics there is no such thing as the "butterfly effect".

But it is not completely absent, the "butterfly effect" exists in the "chaos theory" of mathematics, which is used to explain nonlinear relationships.

Cheng Mo thought of the term "butterfly effect" at this time, thinking about "free will" and "determinism", whether the old man's death was a chain reaction caused by "butterfly wings", or whether the "arrangement of fate" made him walk on the established route, which made Cheng Mo confused.

Maybe the father was the butterfly flapping his wings, or maybe the Book of the Law doomed the old man.

Whatever the reason, Cheng Mo felt a little panicked, panicked that fate was sailing in an unknown direction, and panicked that fate was manipulated by an invisible hand.

In the gloomy warehouse, the pillar of light that enveloped the bookstore moved slowly over time, and Crowley watched him silently from the poster. Cheng Mo seemed to feel some kind of calling, and he slowly walked towards the "bookstore".

To be precise, it is only a bookstall, but to separate it from other bookstalls, each of which has partitions and simple sliding doors. At this time, the other bookstalls were all closed, but the old man's bookstall was not closed because of the murder, but there were several red and white cordons around it.

Cheng Mo walked to the cordon and cautiously drilled under the cordon, the scene had obviously been investigated by the police, so the incident should have happened during the day yesterday. There were also a lot of blood stains on the brown wooden chair where the old man was sitting, even more obvious than the one on the table, indicating that the gangsters had attacked the old man's neck with a sharp weapon at that time.

Judging from the fact that there was no trace of struggle at the scene, the other party was very good at killing, not to mention that one blow was fatal, and it also made the other party directly lose his resistance.

Cheng Mo walked to the side of the chair, he remembered very clearly, yesterday the old man locked the Book of Law in the drawer, he reached out to pull the drawer, the drawer was not locked, there was a slight friction sound in the cold air, and it was easily pulled out by Cheng Mo halfway.

It was a messy affair with two briar pipes, boxes of tobacco, cigars, and an elaborate lighter with the skull logo engraved on it, in addition to a pair of tarot cards, a brass astrolabe, a golden Bafengte sigil, a silver inverse pentagram, a black candlestick and incense candles, and three old books.....

The only thing is that there is no Book of the Law.

The aroma of hazelwood and musk came to his face, and Cheng Mo picked up the thick brown-yellow candle and glanced at it, which was sealed with petals, leaves, and beetles, even if it was not lit, the fragrance was suffocating.

Cheng Mo put the candle back in the drawer, and flicked those objects that looked a little weird, it seemed that these objects belonging to black magic had been around for a long time, the workmanship did not look like the product of an assembly line, it should be a handmade work, and the material could not be determined, like a collection, and it seemed to be something prepared for some kind of black magic ritual.

This is normal, what kind of occult do people who study the occult not order these mysterious things? Therefore, Cheng Mo didn't pay much attention, and just took out the three books on the side of the drawer.

The cover of the book just now was still hidden in the back half of the drawer, and it was impossible to see what the book was, and when Cheng Mo took the book out of the drawer, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Even Cheng Mo is now well-informed, and he is still shocked by the book he took out casually.

Although the name of this book is very common and it is also a book that has been read by countless people, this version is extremely rare.

It is richly bound, with delicate red velvet writing, silver guards at the corners, silver buckles between the front and back covers, an oval silver plate carved with a boar's head wearing a crown in the center of the cover, and a silver plate in the center of the back cover, on which is carved a shield divided into four pieces, with a star in the arc on the upper left side of the shield, and a crown on top of the shield.

Cheng Mo stared at the beautiful cover several times, and was sure that it was the Geneva Bible published in the fifteenth century.

This book is the original Bible, and it is more expensive than the Book of the Law. Suddenly, Cheng Mo regretted that he was not wearing gloves, and after thinking that he was currently in a carrier state, he could not leave any traces on the book at all, so he turned the book over a little with peace of mind, and then gently placed it in the corner of the table away from the bloodstains.

Then Cheng Mo took out the second book from the drawer, which was the opposite of the first book, the cover was a soft black sheepskin, and on the sheepskin were written a few flowery characters in a heavy color like blood - "Black Book of Satan"), this book Cheng Mo had never heard of, but it was enough to prove its preciousness when it was put together with the Geneva Bible.

Cheng Mo opened it and read a few pages, the front was full of words and graphics introducing the rituals of black magic, there was no doubt that this was a book about black magic.

Cheng Mo put the "Black Book of Satan" next to the "Geneva Bible", and took out the last book in the drawer, the book looked even older, the dark brown leather was covered with scratches, the edges had been torn up, revealing the leather raw edges, and in the middle was carved a six-pointed star and some words and symbols that Cheng Mo couldn't understand at all, a bit like ancient Latin, and a bit like ancient Hebrew.

Cheng Mo was a little curious and opened the cover that exuded a stale atmosphere, the yellowed parchment was sewn together by thick threads that had turned black, and all the words and symbols written on it were as incomprehensible as the cover.

No matter what kind of appearance is written in this book, it is worth a lot of money just by virtue of this old sense of age. Cheng Mo carefully put the book away, and even deliberately put it in a place where the sun could not shine, for fear that the book would turn into dust.

He took out all the drawers and checked them carefully, but found nothing else, so Cheng Mo searched the bookstore for a while, but still didn't find the Book of Law. Seeing that the time was not early, Cheng Mo could only leave, but what to do with these three priceless books made Cheng Mo hesitate, he held the metal handle of the drawer and looked at the three books on the table for a while, and still said sorry to the old man in his heart, and then closed the drawer again, holding all three books in his arms.

Just when he was about to use teleportation to go out, there was a sound of the door opening the door, and a serious conversation, at this time, Cheng Mo had already used teleportation, and he only heard a sentence: "The deceased's name is Dastière de Rochefort-Cilliux, a collateral of the De Rochefort-Cillières family, no close relatives, single and widowed in the apartment not far away, and was once the deputy director of the Pitier Salpetriel Hospital..... After retiring, he opened a used book stall here and has been operating it for more than ten years.... He is a kind person, and there are no disputes with his neighbors and surrounding operators, and he has always been alone and has no friends....."

"There's nothing suspicious about it?"

"He seems to be a member of the seventeenth rank of Freemasonry...... Is this suspicious?"

It's a pity that Cheng Mo left in a hurry and didn't hear the crucial conversation behind him.

——————————————————————————

Cheng Mo returned to his apartment in Calvados on Boulevard Bodenis with the three books, and locked them directly in the safe, now is not the time to study them, he has more important things to do. Open the lockbox in the cloakroom, take out the copy of Choi Hyun-taek's iris contact lenses and fingerprint gloves from it, put them in the inner pocket of the jacket and go directly out of the living room.

Xie Minyun is doing daily meditation and meditation, she will do this kind of training every day to strengthen the control of the body, although the body is carried by the "God gene", but it is not as easy to use as the carrier, the energy consumption is higher, not to mention, the absorption of energy is only equivalent to about twenty levels, which also leads to the use of skills far less than the carrier.

However, meditation and physical exercise can reduce energy loss and increase energy transmission.

"Have you bought the book?" Xie Minyun, who was sitting on a yoga blanket, opened his eyes in the bright sunlight and turned his head to look at Cheng Mo.

"Nope. Cheng Mo shook his head, "Which old gentleman died?" ”

"Huh?" Xie Minyun was slightly startled, she frowned and said, "Did Stern King do it?"

"It doesn't look like it. If it were Stern King, he wouldn't have resorted to such brutal measures. Cheng Mo's mind appeared with the face of Saionji Red Pill, and he felt that Saionji Red Pill was much more suspicious than Stern King.

"Really..... It's a shame. Xie Minyun whispered, she folded her hands and silently recited a prayer, and then stood up, "Shall we leave now?"

Cheng Mo nodded: "What about Sister Bai?" I'll go talk to her." ”

"She went out after you went to Wangfumen, and she hasn't come back yet. Xie Minyun replied, saying that she walked into the bedroom and activated the carrier in the living room, Xie Minyun looked down and saw that she was still wearing the battle uniform of the Taiji Dragon, "Do you want to change your clothes?"

Cheng Mo thought that it was not impossible to fight later, so he said, "No need." ”

Because the two of them were carriers, they didn't let the guards follow, and when they got out of the apartment, Cheng Mo took Xie Minyun and walked straight to the Eiffel Tower. Even in the cold winter months, the Eiffel Tower is still crowded with tourists as Christmas approaches, especially today when the red sun shines on the Seine and the towering Eiffel Tower.

Tourists are everywhere taking pictures, some with mobile phones and selfie sticks, others with tripods and SLRs, taking pictures of the beauty of Paris.

Cheng Mo took Xie Minyun to the parking lot next to the Eiffel Tower, and walked towards a BMW X5 with a casual glance. Before they could get there, two people got out of the car.

Among them, Niu Gao Ma is extremely strong, the Russian Nicholas who has been working for Cheng Mo, and there is a tall man with one eyelid who is from Han Guo at first glance, and it is naturally Li Shixian of the three-star Li family.

Cheng Mo did not greet the two of them, and introduced Xie Minyun to Nicholas and Li Shixian. Nicholas didn't know Xie Minyun's identity, he only knew that several people had lived and died together on the train, and he was very emotional when he saw Xie Minyun.

Li Shixian was quite surprised when he heard Xie Minyun's name, although the look of surprise was only fleeting, but then his attitude towards Xie Minyun was very respectful, not at all as casual as Nicholas.

Cheng Mo used his mobile phone to send an email to Napoleon VII and Saiyuan Temple Red Pill, and led the three of them towards the Musée de l'Homme (Museum of Mankind), along the way Nicholas and Xie Minyun talked a lot about little Lori Rebecca, Xie Minyun did not show any disinterest, and listened very carefully. As for Cheng Mo, he and Li Shixian whispered a discussion about the trade dispute between Japan and the Republic of Dahan, as well as the situation of Samsung.

At present, it is not good for Samsung and the Li family, without photoresist and hydrogen fluoride, Samsung will not be able to manufacture memory, at present, the two companies of the Republic of Dahan Samsung, SK hynix, the two major factories of the global memory market share of more than 7 percent, the short supply of people in Japan will make the Republic of Dahan in the global semiconductor industry market are limited.

However, the masters of the United States completely ignore them, and what is worse is that Samsung is at a critical moment in the competition with TSMC's 5nm process hegemony, and the Japanese people are stabbing sideways, which is undoubtedly a heavier blow to Samsung.

Li Shixian was worried about this, saying that he was insignificant at Samsung, but there was no way to gloat about Samsung's imminent weakening by Ritai and Wanwan.

Cheng Mo just said lightly: "Samsung's crisis is naturally your opportunity, there is no need to be so frustrated." ”

Li Shixian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Opportunity? I have given up now, I can get my Uloporos back, and I will be satisfied if I can develop my entertainment industry well." Saying that, Li Shixian patted Cheng Mo on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "If you are interested in the entertainment industry, we can cooperate, and the star-making level of our Republic of China is still first-class.....

Xie Minyun was beside him, and Li Shixian didn't dare to say anything to Cheng Mo, otherwise he would definitely tell Cheng Mo that as long as Cheng Mo saw the idol of the Republic of Han, no matter who could make an appointment with him. However, Li Shixian thought that this temptation was definitely nothing to Cheng Mo, after all, Xie Minyun was so perfect, where could those idol stars in the Republic of Dahan be compared.

Thinking of Xie Minyun's distinguished status, Li Shixian's heart became extremely depressed.

When you arrive at the Museum of Man, the alley is filled with the aroma of coffee, and the long street is surrounded by cafes and art galleries, and near noon, there is quite a lot of people, and the rows of cafes are crowded with people of all colors, and even the open space is full of chairs.

Cheng Mo led the three of them to the Museum of Mankind, and to a café called Cafe de l' Homme on the top floor, where Napoleon VII's butler Maurice was guarding the entrance......
