I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon Chapter 217 - The Terrifying Tributary (1)

Chapter 217: The Terrifying Tributary (1)

Standing in front of the new bookshelf, Ling Pingan scratched his head.

“It doesn’t seem to be very suitable!” He said.

The old Republican guest liked conspiracy theories and books about the masterminds behind the scenes.

However, the books he bought yesterday didn’t have anything to do with it.

Moreover..

Ling Pingan turned around and glanced at the guest who was dressed in simple clothes.

He recalled his experiences.

When one reached middle age, everything was difficult to settle.

There were old people at the top and young people at the bottom. The pressure of life came from all directions.

The meager salary might not even be able to cover the living expenses of a family!

Every month, he had to take out his phone and carefully calculate his expenses.

Perhaps reading these conspiracy theories and Masterminds’ books was the best way for him to relieve his stress.

It was also one of his few hobbies and entertainment.

Therefore, how could Ling Pingan Bear to let him sell him some books that he might not like even though he had only one piece of jade to buy books?

I should give him the best service! Ling Pingan thought.

Although he might lose money on this deal.

In the long run, he would make a profit.

It wasn’t just because the old Republicans loved to band together, a single customer would attract more customers.

It was also because the sense of moral satisfaction was something that money couldn’t make up for.

After all, he wasn’t short of money to spend!

Thus, Ling Pingan turned around and walked to another bookshelf. Then, he stood on tiptoe and took a thick tome from the top of the bookshelf!

Ling Pingan picked up the book and flipped it over. He looked at the cover that was still covered in a protective membrane.

“The secrets of the northwest.”

This was the name of the book.

This book was the culmination of the Federal Empire’s alien theory!

The key point was that this book had been banned before.

The department in charge of culture and publis.h.i.+ng in the Federal Empire had once banned it.

The reason was: this book made up a national organization and slandered the imperial family and the cabinet!

Although the ban was quickly rejected by the Council of Ministers.

However, this also made the publication of this book extremely difficult!

It was said that there were less than 5,000 copies published in total, and most of them could not reach the market!

Ling Pingan had also found this book by chance from the wholesale market.

Of course, the price was not cheap!

Just to buy it back, he had spent more than 300 yuan!

Initially, Ling Pingan’s plan was to collect it.

Because he believed that this book would definitely rise in value!

Therefore, he placed it on the innermost shelf of the bookstore.

But..

Now, Ling Pingan felt that it was like a pearl in the dark with him.

Perhaps, that old Republican was its true owner!

After all, Ling Pingan didn’t believe in any aliens at all.

As a materialist, Ling Pingan only believed in things that he could see with his own eyes.

If there really were aliens..

Then ask it to drive a flying saucer and appear in Jiangcheng City!

Holding the book, Ling Pingan walked back.

At the same time, he was a little touched by himself.

“I am indeed a gentleman!” The young bookstore owner felt that he had been sublimated at this moment.

Therefore, he hummed a song lightly.

“At this time, the person who has already grown to love is on the way…”

Halfway through his humming, he was stunned.

“Who sang that?” He scratched his head, unable to recall.

He wanted to continue humming, but he forgot the following tune and lyrics.

Thus, he could only smile embarra.s.sedly.

This kind of thing often happened. After all, he had not seriously listened to a song for many years.

There was no other way. With the flow of traffic, there was no song to listen to!

Therefore, this kind of song that came out of nowhere often appeared.

… ..

“At this time, the one who has already grown to love is on his way…”

A light tone came from behind.

Situ He turned his head and saw the owner of the bookstore, who was holding a book wrapped in a thick liquid, walking to his side.

“Customer…” The owner of the bookstore, whose head was covered in fog, had two flames s.h.i.+ning like sunspots. “I picked this book specially for you!”

With an unquestionable tone, he handed the book wrapped in a thick unknown liquid to Situ He and stuffed it into his hand.

At the first touch, Situ He felt that his hands had been tightly wrapped by the thick unknown liquid.

A cold, strange, and terrifying feeling followed him like a shadow.

After a moment, the liquid finally let go of him.

“The essence of the soul…” A voice said by his ear.

Situ He lowered his head and saw the cover of the book.

The viscous liquid slowly showed a dark green color and began to boil.

Invisible bubbles emerged from it one after another.

In each bubble, there was a cold and ruthless eyeball.

These eyeb.a.l.l.s looked at him.

The voice beside his ear gradually became blurry.

“What is it?”

Along with this question-like voice.

Eyeb.a.l.l.s emerged from each bubble.

These eyeb.a.l.l.s looked at Situ He coldly and mercilessly.

“It’s the three souls and seven spirits!”

One by one, the bubbles shattered.

The shattered bubbles fell back into the strange viscous liquid, and the eyeb.a.l.l.s quickly dissolved in the liquid.

Slowly, they merged back into the viscous liquid.

Seeing this scene, Situ He’s body trembled.

He finally knew how crude and stupid it was for him to use the secret technique of ghosts and souls on paper people in the past.

Souls were nameless and shapeless, but they had a form and a substance.

Using them on paper dolls was equivalent to using a supercomputer to do the simplest accounting.

What did a supercomputer do?

Simulated!

Simulated nuclear weapons, simulated the orbits of celestial bodies, simulated the changes in weather!

Souls were also ordinary!

Its methods were endless, and its use was profound!

And his usage was the most crude method of using it!

And this book was a book that recorded countless taboos about the soul technique!

At this moment, the sticky and strange liquid slowly soaked into the page.

Four crooked words appeared on the cover bit by bit.

This book was called ‘Three Souls and Seven Spirits’.

On the lower left corner of the cover of the book, the mark of the author appeared quietly.

It was something like a seal.

Situ He looked carefully and finally recognized the name of the author. “Xuan Jun?”

He frowned.

This was a very typical ancient name.

But the problem was..

Who was Xuan Jun?

Situ He couldn’t remember. There had been such a person in history?

But..

He knew the significance of this book to him!

With it..

There would be no obstacles in his path!

If it was before, he would not have been worried about his talent and potential, but now, there was no doubt about it!

“I will definitely be able to keep up with commander-in-chief’s footsteps!”

He was full of confidence as he clenched the book in his hand!

… … … … ..

Ling Pingan looked at the guest in front of him and hugged the book of Secrets of the Northwest tightly

He gently picked up the teacup and took a sip of the sweet tea.

“As expected, this guest is also very interested in the aliens and the mysterious base that is rumored to have collected all kinds of alien s.h.i.+p wreckage and even alien remains that the federal empire found from all over the world!”

Speaking of which, aliens were also the topic of menstruation in the Federal Empire.

The so-called unidentified flying objects were reported to be seen on the news every year.

All kinds of public accounts from the media were filled with conclusive statements. The cabinet of the Federal Empire had lied to the public and hid the aliens in the secret base in the Northwest Desert.

There were even some who said that the cabinet’s treacherous ministers might have already gotten in touch with the aliens. There were even some who suspected that the cabinet’s treacherous ministers were blackmailing the aliens for self-respect so that they could become the current Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao.

Ling Pingan almost laughed his head off.

And the current Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao!

Only a fool would want to do that!

Wasn’t it good to be the cabinet’s prime minister and ministers who were happy?

However, this was also a tradition of the Federal Empire.

Ever since the Federal Empire was established, the people had long been suspicious and distrustful of the central federal government and the cabinet.

And this was the responsibility of Emperor Taizu.

This was because Emperor Taizu himself was full of wariness and distrust toward the civil officials.

He had once said publicly: the death of the previous dynasty, the civil officials’chaotic laws, the generals’chaotic lives, the country was torn apart, the country was not a country, and the world was destroyed! One had to be wary of the precedent!

Great!

Taizu took the lead in suspecting his own cabinet ministers.

The people below naturally put on a thick layer of colored gla.s.ses toward the civil officials, especially the cabinet in power.

They always felt that Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao would appear among these people.

Even today, it was the same.

What was more troublesome was that along with the great development of technology, technological progress.

Other trends of thought emerged.

For example, the theory of behind-the-scenes capital, the theory of the manipulation of financial groups, and the theory of the manipulation of military industrial complex.

These trends of thought and the traditional theory of crafty manipulation were mixed together, allowing conspiracy theorists to spread across all groups.

Now, looking at this man who was holding the book “Northwest Secret” that had been banned, he refused to let go.

Ling Pingan also shook his head!

There was no such thing as aliens?

Anyway, Ling Pingan didn’t believe it.

In Ling Pingan’s eyes, aliens were just like feudal superst.i.tions.

They were all lies.

… ..

Situ He raised his head and looked at the owner of the bookstore.

In his head that was covered in fog, two points of HP were gradually dimming.

This was a sign that he wanted to send off his customers!

Situ He immediately stood up and said to the ancient G.o.d, “It’s getting late, I won’t disturb you anymore…”

“I’ll send you off!” The other party stood up.

Situ He wanted to refuse, but he remembered that the fog tonight seemed to be unusual, so he nodded. “Thank you so much!”

This proud ancient G.o.d would not speak without thinking.

“It doesn’t matter!” He said softly, walked to the door, and opened it.

Situ He quickly held the book in his hand tightly and walked out.

He walked Situ He to the road in front of the door, and then waved goodbye.

Situ He quickly bowed and thanked him.

Then he turned on the flashlight, and a strong light shot out, hitting the thick fog.

He walked forward and followed the light.

Gradually, the fog enveloped him.

He also walked slowly and carefully.

Unlike last time, tonight’s fog was particularly difficult to walk through!

Every step seemed to require a lot of strength.

Situ He only took a dozen steps before he felt a little tired.

He took a breath, but the book in his hand suddenly began to shake.

Situ He raised his head and looked at the fog in front of him.

He saw a huge creature moving slowly in the distance of the fog.

It had three legs, and its huge head were faintly discernible in the fog.

As it moved, its head kept rotating 360 degrees.

One by one, the strange scarlet compound eyes flickered like the electronic components of a radar.

“What kind of monster is this?” Situ He swallowed his saliva.

“Tribute!” A voice whispered in his ear.

Bang Bang Bang!

At this moment, the figure of the monster came to Situ He from the distance of the fog.

He lowered his head and looked at situ he.

He saw the flashlight in situ he’s hand, so he ignored it.

Three legs pa.s.sed through situ he’s body one by one.

The thick fog tightly wrapped him, so Situ He could not see his specific shape and appearance.

He only knew that it was a terrifying creature with three legs!

Moreover, it was at least seven to eight meters tall!

However, Situ He did not have time to catch his breath.

In the fog in front of him, cl.u.s.ters of glowing spheres suddenly appeared.

These spheres were as big as small cars.

They floated in the fog and moved forward in groups.

Countless jellyfish-like glowing tentacles hung behind these b.a.l.l.s.

They floated slowly and pa.s.sed by situ he like jellyfish.

Those glowing tentacles even touched Situ He, intentionally or unintentionally.

It was like a curious child discovering a toy.

Then, when they saw the flashlight in situ he’s hand, they reluctantly left.

In front of these spherical monsters, Situ He did not even dare to breathe. His heartbeat was almost completely still.

This was his instinctive reaction.

It was his subconscious self-protection!

It was not until these spheres were far away that his consciousness and thoughts returned.

“What is it?” He took a deep breath and felt that his entire body was drenched.

Just now, he felt as if he was a naked person who had encountered a fierce tiger in the forest.

The fierce tiger’s sharp teeth had already bitten his fragile cervical vertebra.

This feeling was terrifying and horrifying!

It was the feeling of a living creature facing its natural enemy!

It was also the feeling of a creature facing the terror of certain death!

“A group of little cuties!” A voice whispered in his ear, “They have just hunted a suitable prey and are rus.h.i.+ng to offer it to the great ruler!”

“Prey?” Situ He frowned, not quite understanding.

“To the higher races, only the civilization of an entire world can be considered as prey!” The voice said, “And these little cuties are the most efficient hunters among all the higher races!”

“They are also the race that wants to please the ruler the most!”

Situ He was about to ask something more.

A violent sound came from the distance of the fog.

In the violent sound, a twisted and deformed ball of terrifying meat slowly crawled out of the fog.

“Go quickly!”The voice beside situ he’s ear urged anxiously, “The unclean one is coming!”

“He doesn’t have a good temper!”

“Unclean one?” Situ He didn’t quite understand this name.

However, he could clearly feel that in the depths of the fog, the meat ball that was crawling bit by bit was radiating some terrifying and horrifying mind energy in all directions!

This terrifying radiation energy was rolling in the fog.

This was the first time Situ He had seen something that could unleash its power in the fog!

Without a doubt, it was an extremely terrifying G.o.d-level monster!

Thus, Situ He hurriedly held his flashlight and walked in another direction with quick steps.
