Rebel Demon King

Chapter 863 Asgard and the Book of Wisdom (9)

The warehouse was quiet, and the sunlight cast down from the high window lattices, illuminating the fine dust floating in the air, placing the hidden bookstore in a sacred beam of light.At this second, 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 not shaped like human arms, but butterfly wings.Suddenly, Cheng Mo thought of the word "butterfly effect".It was proposed by the meteorologist Lorenz in the 60s, and the original meaning was: a butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America occasionally flaps its wings a few times, and it may be caused in Texas two weeks later. A tornado.

In fact, most people don't know that this sentence is just an abstract description of Lorenz. The reason is that he entered three extra decimal places when he used the computer to perform meteorological simulations. It's a world of difference.

However, such an expression is very problematic. In the real world, no matter how many times a butterfly flaps its wings, it cannot change the probability of natural hurricanes. This probability is still determined by the nature of the entire weather system and the nature that cannot be changed by butterflies. decided.

No matter what you say, it has nothing to do with butterflies. If it does, there are so many butterflies in the world, and countless butterflies flap their wings countless times every minute. If the "butterfly effect" can really cause a hurricane, how busy is the hurricane?

So in physics, the "butterfly effect" does not exist.

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

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

Maybe the father is the butterfly flapping its wings, maybe the "Book of the Law" doomed the old man's fate.

Regardless of the reason, Cheng Mo felt a little apprehensive, apprehensive about fate heading in an unknown direction, apprehensive about fate being manipulated by invisible hands.

In the dark warehouse, the beam of light covering the bookstore moved slowly with time, and Crowley watched him silently on the poster.Cheng Mo seemed to feel some kind of calling, and he walked slowly towards the "bookstore".

To be precise, it can only be regarded as a bookstall, just to separate it from other bookstalls. Each bookstall has partitions and simple sliding doors.At this moment, all the other bookstalls were closed, except the simple sliding door of the old man's bookstall was not closed because of the murder. It was only surrounded by red and white cordons.

Cheng Mo walked to the cordon, lifted the cordon and sneaked under it. The scene had obviously been investigated by the police, so the incident should have happened yesterday during the day.There were also a lot of blood stains on the brown wooden chair the old man was sitting on, even more obvious than those on the table, which indicated that the criminals attacked the old man's neck with a sharp instrument.

Judging from the fact that there was no trace of struggle at the scene, the opponent was very good at killing people, let alone a fatal blow, and made the opponent directly lose their resistance.

Cheng Mo walked to the side of the chair. He remembered very clearly that the old man locked the "Book of Law" in the drawer yesterday. He reached out to pull the drawer, but the drawer was unlocked, and there was a slight rubbing sound in the cold air. , was easily pulled half out by Cheng Mo.

It was messy inside, with two briar pipes, boxes of tobacco, a box of cigars and an exquisitely shaped lighter with a skull engraved on it, a deck of tarot cards, and a brass astrolabe , the golden sigil of Baphomet, the silver inverted pentagram, a black candlestick and scented candle, and three ancient books
Only there is no Book of the Law.

The mixed aroma of hazel wood and musk rushed over. Cheng Mo picked up the thick brown candle and took a look. It contained flower petals, leaves and beetles. Even if it was not lit, the fragrance was strong and suffocating.

Cheng Mo put the candles back in the drawer, and moved the strange-looking objects. It seemed that these black magic objects were quite old, and the workmanship did not look like the product of an assembly line. Unsure, like a collection, or something prepared for some kind of black magic ritual.

This is normal. What kind of mystics do you study if you don't have these mystical things?So Cheng Mo didn't pay much attention, but just took out the three books on one side of the drawer.

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

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

Although the title of this book is common and it has been read by countless people, this edition is extremely rare.

Cheng Mo held the book, feeling quite heavy in the hand. The binding was very gorgeous and exquisite. It was written in exquisite red velvet, with silver guards on the four corners, a silver buckle between the front and back covers, and an oval-shaped plaque in the center of the cover. A silver plate with a crowned head of a wild boar engraved on it. There is also a silver plate in the center of the back cover with a shield divided into 4 pieces. There is a star in the arc at the upper left of the shield, and a crown is also placed on top of the shield. .

Cheng Mo stared intently at the exquisite cover several times, and determined that it was most likely the "Geneva Bible" published in the fifteenth century.

This book can be called the original of the Bible, and it is a much more expensive ancient book than the Book of the Law.Immediately, Cheng Mo regretted that he didn't wear gloves. Then he thought that he was in a carrier state, so he could not leave any traces on the book, so he flipped through the book with peace of mind, and then gently placed it on the table away from the blood. corner of .

Then Cheng Mo took out the second book from the drawer, which was exactly the opposite of the first book. The cover was soft black sheepskin, and on the sheepskin were written a few swashbuckling characters in a dignified color like blood—"black book of "Satan" ("Satan's Black Book"), Cheng Mo has never heard of this book, but it can be put together with the "Geneva Bible" to prove its preciousness.

Cheng Mo opened it and looked at a few pages. The front was full of words and graphics introducing black magic rituals. 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. This book looked even older. The dark brown leather was covered with scratches, and the edges were already damaged. It was turned over, revealing the fur edges of the leather, with a hexagram engraved in the middle 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 opened the cover exuding a stale smell with some curiosity. The yellowed parchment was sewn together by thick blackened threads, and all the words and symbols on it were as incomprehensible as the cover.

No matter what content is written in this book, it is worth a lot just because of the sense of age that cannot be outdated.Cheng Mo carefully put the book away, and even deliberately placed it in a place where the sun could not shine, as if he was afraid that the book would turn into dust if it was exposed to the sun.

Cheng Mo pulled out all the drawers, checked it carefully, and found nothing else, so Cheng Mo searched for a while in the bookstore, but still did not find the "Book of Law".Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Mo had no choice but to leave, but how to deal 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. I still said sorry to the old man in my heart, then closed the drawer again, and hugged all three books in my arms.

Just when he was about to teleport out, there was a sound of opening the door and a serious conversation. At this time, Cheng Mo had already used teleportation, and he only heard the sentence "The name of the deceased is Dastier de Roche." Chefort-Ciliac, a collateral branch of the Rochefort-Ciliac family, no close relatives, single and widowed in the apartment not far from Plais, which used to be Pitiersalpe The deputy director of Trier Hospital. After retiring, he opened a second-hand bookstall here. He has been running it for more than ten years and is friendly. He has no disputes with neighbors or other operators around him. He has always been a loner and has no friends."

"Is there nothing suspicious?"

"He seems to be a member of the seventeenth class 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 took the three books back to Calvados's apartment on Bodenice Avenue, and locked the three books directly in the safe in the cloakroom. It's not time to study them yet, he has more important things to do Do.After locking the safe, Cheng Mo dragged out the combination box in the closet, dug out the copied Cui Xianze iris contact lenses and fingerprint gloves, put them in the inner pocket of his jacket, and went straight out of the living room.

Xie Minyun is doing daily meditation. She does this kind of training every day to strengthen the control of her body. Although it is said that the body is carried by the "God gene", it is not as easy to use as the carrier, and the energy consumption is higher. The energy absorption is only equivalent to a level [-] carrier, which leads to the fact that the skills used are far less powerful than the carrier.

Meditation and physical exercise can reduce the loss of energy transmitted from the satellite to the body, and can also broaden and improve the energy transmission path.In terms of fantasy novels, it means that the practice of body and mind can enhance the absorption of heaven and earth aura and the conversion rate of aura.

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

"No." Cheng Mo shook his head, "The old gentleman is dead."

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

"It doesn't look like it. If it was Stern King, he probably wouldn't use such a rough method." Cheng Mo's mind appeared the face of Xiyuan Temple Benimaru, and he felt that Xiyuanji Benimaru's suspicion was bigger than Si Thon King is much bigger.

"It's such a pity." Xie Minyun said in a low voice. She put her hands together and said a prayer silently, then stood up, "Shall we go now?"

Cheng Mo nodded: "Where is Sister Bai? I'll go and talk to her. "

"She went out after you went to Wangfumen, and she hasn't come back yet." Xie Minyun replied, and 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 Tai Chi Dragon battle suit "Do you want to change clothes?"

Cheng Mo thought that it might be possible to fight later, so he said, "No need."

Because both of them are carriers, they didn't let the guards follow them. After leaving the apartment, Cheng Mo took Xie Minyun and walked straight to the Eiffel Tower.Even in the cold winter, there are still many tourists at the foot of the Eiffel Tower near Christmas, especially today is a good weather, the red sun shines on the Seine River and the towering tower, dispelling a lot of chill.

There are tourists taking pictures everywhere, some with mobile phones and selfie sticks, some 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, glanced casually, and walked towards a BMW X5.Before they got there, two people got out of the car.

Among them, Nicholas, a Russian who has been working for Chengmo, is very tall and strong, and there is a tall man with single eyelids who looks like a native of Han, which is naturally Lee Se-hyun of the Lee family of Samsung.

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

Li Shixian was quite surprised when he heard Xie Minyun's name. Although the surprised expression was only fleeting, his attitude towards Xie Minyun was very respectful, not as casual as Nicholas was at all.

Cheng Mo sent an email to Napoleon VII and Xiyuanji Benimaru each on his mobile phone, and then led the three of them towards the Musée de l'Homme (Museum of Humanity). Nicholas and Xie Minyun chatted a lot about Xiaoluo along the way. Xie Minyun did not show any disinterest in Li Rebecca's matter, and listened very seriously.As for Cheng Mo, he and Li Shixian discussed in a low voice about the trade dispute between Japan and the Republic of Korea, as well as the situation of Samsung.

The current situation 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 in the Republic of China, Samsung and SK Hynix, have a combined global memory market share of more than 7%, the short supply of Japanese people will limit the market of the Republic of China in the global semiconductor industry.

However, the American masters completely ignored them and didn’t say anything. What’s worse, Samsung is at a critical moment of competing with TSMC’s 5nm process, and the Japanese will undoubtedly deal a heavier blow to Samsung.

Li Shixian was worried about this. Although he was insignificant in Samsung, he couldn't gloat that Samsung was about to be weakened by the joint efforts of Japan and Wanwan.

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

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

With Xie Minyun at the side, Li Shixian didn't dare to say nasty things to Cheng Mo, otherwise he would definitely tell Cheng Mo that as long as the idols of the Republic of China are attractive to Cheng Mo, no matter who they are, they can ask him out.But Li Shixian changed his mind and felt that this temptation must not be a big deal to Cheng Mo. After all, Xie Minyun is so perfect, how can those idol stars in the Republic of China be able to compare.

Thinking of Xie Minyun's noble status, Li Shixian became extremely depressed.Originally, he thought that Cheng Mo was just an ordinary chosen person. As long as he got Uroboros back, he would be able to break the cooperation between the two people with Cheng Mo as the leader. Boros, he is still just a younger brother.

When we arrived at the Museum of Humanity, the alley was filled with the aroma of coffee. Apart from cafes, there were various art galleries around this long street. Near noon, there were quite a lot of people. Even the chairs in the open space were full of people.

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