Pollution throughout the territory - #291 - Chapter 287 Sabbat: The Temptation of Knowledge

Xia Ren’s hands shook and he was so frightened that he almost threw the book away.

“Isn’t this the alien book I saw at the house of the ghoul cub Zhang Xiang? Why is it also available here?”

Could it be that…Yuchen’s family is a sect that believes in ghouls?

“No, it doesn’t look like it.”

He still clearly remembers the vision he saw when he opened the secret passage to the sixth floor in the Dawn Center.

In that dark cave, humanoid creatures wrapped in black robes kept walking past him. Under their black robes, filthy mucus with a pungent smell flowed out. Their cries were like the cries of babies, which made people feel it from the bottom of their hearts. to their evil.

The old man who had just received him and the old lady sitting in front of the spinning wheel did not emit any weird and unpleasant smell, and their faces looked relatively clean. They should not be ghouls.

Xia Ren calmed down, feeling very confused.

On the one hand, he wanted to open it and read the contents of this evil book, but on the other hand, he was afraid that he would lose his mind and become crazy after reading it. After all, this body’s resistance to reason and pollution was really terrible.

In the end, Xia Ren decided not to read it. His main purpose of entering the ancient dream was to see the rulers of the old days. The family ceremony was about to begin, and there might be clues to the old gods in it. He couldn’t stop here and read about evil spirits. The book is too risky to take.

He reluctantly put the “Corpse Food Ceremony” back on the table, but he couldn’t move his eyes away.

Because there is more than one book on the table.

He stretched out his hand and then retracted it, repeating this process several times. When Yu Chen next to him saw this, he couldn’t help but wonder: “Father-in-law, what are you doing?”

Seeing that he wanted to pick up a book and read it, Xia Ren quickly stopped him and said, “Children, don’t read these things.”

He paused: “Let me filter it for you first.”

Just looking at the name, it shouldn’t matter, right?

Xia Ren swallowed, took a deep breath, and picked up another book.

“Apocalypse of Glachi”

“This damn temptation!”

Unable to read, he put it down and picked up another one.

“Unnamed Sacrifice Book”

Heart hurts!

Xia Ren reluctantly touched the cover and took another book.

“Raleye Text”

“Um?”

Xia Ren’s eyes widened unconsciously when he saw the title of the book. He felt that this book seemed to have some mysterious connection with himself.

What’s worse, the right atrium collects venous blood from the whole body and pumps it out from the pulmonary artery through the right ventricle. At this time, the venous blood flows in the pulmonary artery. Through gas exchange in the lungs, it becomes oxygen-rich arterial blood and is sent to the left side by the pulmonary veins. The atrium, and then pumped through the aorta in the left ventricle to the various tissues and organs throughout the body.

To put it simply, it’s exciting!

His intuition told him that the things recorded in this book were inseparable from him and he couldn’t miss it no matter what.

An idea suddenly came to mind.

“Since I was able to bring the Ancient One Crystal and Shoggoths here in the last ancient dream, can these books be used as well?”

Once the thought pops up, it spreads like crazy in the mind like weeds.

Xia Ren looked around. The only outsider in the room at this time was the old lady in front of the spinning wheel. She was busy all the time and should not notice him.

So he unzipped his shirt and stuffed the “Raleye Text” into his chest.

Yu Chen was stunned and said nervously: “Yue, father-in-law, isn’t this good…”

Xia Ren glared at him: “As long as you don’t tell, who knows?”

“…”

Yu Chen couldn’t talk back.

He felt very uneasy because his father-in-law, who had always been obsessed with saving face, actually stole his family’s belongings in front of him.

What happened to this world?

Cold, shaking, crying.

Guessing that he could carry two more books in his clothes, Xia Ren began to look eagerly for other books that he liked.

“Shuge’s Requiem Mass”, “The Secret of the Worm”, “The Book of Ebon”…

At the bottom of the many books, Xia Ren saw a book that was more unique than the others.

Its cover uses numbers and straight lines to outline several five-pointed star shapes of different sizes. These five-pointed star shapes overlap and form a complex and profound pattern similar to a magic circle. Around it, a It was surrounded by a ring, and there was a circle of words written in the ring that Xia Ren had never seen before.

“Door.”

When he saw this pattern, this word automatically popped into Xia Ren’s mind.

This pattern is a door.

“But what kind of door is it?”

Xia Ren couldn’t understand.

He then looked up and saw the title of the book written in a string of words he had never seen before at the very top of the cover.

No, it’s not that I haven’t seen it before.

Xia Ren recalled that the structure of the three paragraphs written on the human skin fragment found at Lebo’s house was similar to the title of this book!

“Is it the same language?”

His hand reached out involuntarily and took it in his hand.

This book has gone through countless years, and its appearance has long been damaged. The edges of the book seem to have been eaten by some kind of insects, leaving dense holes.

Before Xia Ren had time to carefully observe the appearance of the book, a yellowed page of paper slipped from the inside and fell to the floor.

He quickly bent down, trying to pick up the paper and stuff it back. As soon as his hand touched the paper, he suddenly realized that he had read the words on it.

“Oops!”

Subconsciously, he wanted to close his eyes, but before that, he couldn’t help but take another look.

It seems… nothing’s wrong.

There was no fear, no strange visions, no evil thoughts in my mind.

He didn’t even understand what was written on the paper.

After his nervousness calmed down a little, Xia Ren picked it up and read it again with courage.

Still can’t understand.

“I understand, it’s okay if you don’t understand.”

Liu Xiuxiu once said that pollution is actually knowledge, but this knowledge is beyond the scope of human understanding, so people who try to understand will lose their minds and become crazy.

When Xia Ren saw the three paragraphs of text on the skin fragment, he didn’t understand it at first glance. When he suddenly understood it, the system immediately reminded him that he was contaminated.

“So, does illiteracy actually have this benefit? The lower the education level, the lower the harm?”

Yu Chen saw his father-in-law muttering to himself in a low voice while pulling the books on the table. He didn’t know what it meant. He didn’t dare to ask casually, so he could only watch silently.

After careful selection for a while, Xia Ren finally hid “Raleye Text”, “The King in Yellow”, and this weirdest book under his clothes.

Seeing Yu Chen’s hesitant expression, Xia Ren patted him on the shoulder and said, “Forgive me, son, this is the last time.”

“I don’t want to do this either, but this knowledge is so fascinating.”

Yu Chen: “…”

…

…

At eleven o’clock at night, the melodious church bells echoed over the entire town.

The old man walked in from outside the house, stood in front of Yu Chen, took out his notebook and respectfully wrote on it:

“Master, the ceremony is about to begin.”
