I'm Really Not The Demon God's Lackey Chapter 171

Lin Jie didn’t even read the contents of the book, but his face was made ugly by the leather cover.

In the village with the custom of making human skin drums, out of respect and yearning for the souls of the dead, the human skins on the backs of people who had just died were used to make drum heads, and the souls were summoned through specific sacrificial ceremonies.

They believe that the human soul leaves the body from the back, so the piece of human skin on the back is the portal for the human soul to go to the underworld, which has the function of psychic.

Moreover, these human skins are all handled by special old priests in the village, who are proficient in business and full of sense of ceremony.

So although this custom sounds a bit weird at first glance, it is actually a primitive manifestation of death culture, and it will not make people feel too unacceptable…

Of course, this is just Lin Jie’s personal opinion. After all, he has studied folk customs for so many years.

For ordinary people, this thing is still a bit creepy when you think about it.

But this personal book is different, it comes from Congreve.

The guy who made a secret deal with the Dome Church to create something like the “Holy Moon Brain” was out for profit, so naturally it was impossible to pull out any culture. It can be seen.

Judging from Qili’s description of Congreve, Lin Jie thinks the latter is more likely.

Thinking that this human skin might come from an innocent person and was the product of a tragedy, Lin Jie felt that the book in his hand became a little heavy.

Whether it is the use of addictive substances of unknown raw materials to control the congregation, the dome church that uses the so-called gods as a cover for wanton killings, or Congreve, who traded with him and used human skin as a book cover, are already beyond the normal cognitive level Heinous.

“An organized and purposeful evil organization, a perverted murderer.”

Lin Jie read silently and opened the personal book.

And Bella’s further detailed explanation supports Lin Jie’s inner thoughts: “We can’t read the words on it, but this book itself has been studied almost once, and this book is completely made of human skin. .”

“The cover is made of the back skin of a middle-aged man, and it is put together in two pieces. In order to maintain the similarity of texture and thickness with the paper, each piece of ‘paper’ is made of a baby…”

When Bella said this, she found that the sound of young people flipping books behind the counter disappeared, and the sound of the entire bookstore disappeared during this pause, leaving only a frightening silence.

She skipped a beat in her heart for no reason, and looked at Lin Jie, who looked at the open book in her hand without saying a word.

But I don’t know if it’s Bella’s illusion, the black eyes reflecting the pages of the book are like the sky before the storm. Although the heavy lead cloud is stagnant, in fact, a storm and thunder are already brewing.

“Mr. Lin?”

Lin Jie nodded, smiled slowly and said, “Go ahead.”

Bella looked at Lin Jie with the same smile as usual, and inexplicably felt a chill down her spine, and an idea popped into the head maid’s mind: Mr. Lin is angry.

But Lin Jie said to let her continue, Bella took this as a warning, did not dare to think too much, cleared her throat, and then continued to tell the situation.

But for some reason, the voice subconsciously lowered a little.

Lin Jie looked back at the pages of the book.

Of course he was angry.

This personal book is full of crimes, and the bloody cruelty behind it is simply outrageous.

“call……”

Lin Jie took a deep breath in his heart, suppressed his emotions, and settled down to read the contents of the book.

“Ok?”

When his eyes touched the first character, he recognized it, which was the inscription on the holy sword he placed on the second floor.

At the same time, it is also the common text used by elves.

In terms of time, this is already the language of the second era, and it has long been annihilated in the long river of history after that dark age. No wonder Qi Li has such financial resources, and there is no one who can translate this book.

Of course, it probably has something to do with not letting too many people know about the existence of this book. If the scope can be expanded, I believe Qi Li should be able to find such a linguist.

For example, Pharaoh.

But now he’s off to the undercover blood feast, so he probably doesn’t have much time.

Fortunately, Lin Jie received Candela’s memory in the dream. Although most of it was incomplete, at least the language was packaged as a gift.

Lin Jie read it carefully and found that the content in the book was quite different from what he had imagined.

This is not something like black magic that most human skin books would associate.

The blood-red handwriting on the human skin book is like a person talking to himself. There are no answers to the questions, and there are no questions about the answers. Sometimes they suddenly make long speeches, and sometimes they are simple orders.

To put it bluntly, it’s like talking to another person who doesn’t exist.

The tone is very condescending, but the words are full of deception.

It feels like a diary of a perverted murderer who fights against his own spirit every day.

“Is Congreve crazy?”

Lin Jie recounted what he saw, and Qi Li and Bella looked at each other, unable to understand what kind of trick Congreve was playing.

Moreover, this thing is not a big news, and it is far from the “congreve’s real reliance” they expected, which is unavoidably disappointing.

Qi Li said: “But at least, we can know that he did intercept that batch of goods and gave them to the Dome Church.”

The book clearly mentions the matter of the Dome Church. The whole process is very clear, and there are also places where the two parties meet. As long as the transaction is still going on, they can follow the clues and completely expose this crime.

Do not.

Lin Jie suddenly narrowed his eyes – this is probably not written by Congreve.

He turned from beginning to end again, and finally cleared his mind.

The people who wrote these words mostly used orders and bewitching tone, and also mentioned “Ash Chamber of Commerce is nothing more than that”, “help you get up and kill Qi Li”, “for a great cause” and other similar words.

It is obviously unreasonable to say that Congreve went crazy. The long-winded demagogues are too objective and logical.

Lin Jie immediately thought of it, isn’t this just a pyramid scheme?

So to change the way of thinking, if this human skin book is something like a “magic mirror”, Congreve is speaking, and these words are automatically “written” on the human skin book to talk to him, then everything will be said Got it.

However, he is still not sure, and it is difficult for him to translate so much content in a short period of time, and there are many places that he does not understand.

And this is a bit of a horrifying conjecture. It has not been confirmed. It is better not to say it casually to scare the two girls.

“Leave this human skin with me for now. There are still some parts that I haven’t fully translated. You should first investigate where they are connected and see if you can find any clues.”

Lin Jie also introduced Claude, saying that he is next door now, and you can ask him for help.

He watched the reluctant Qili and Bella leave, temporarily put the human skin book aside, and his eyes fell on the box containing the heart fossil again.

He didn’t notice that on the human skin book he put aside, a line of blood slowly leaked from the end of the last page——

“Find.”

“arrive.”

“you.”

“Yes.”
