    ?

    "Welcome back, gentlemen."

    Zhen Lian bowed to Li Yanyi,

    "good."

    Li Yan responded, and just as he was about to enter the room, he suddenly stopped and glanced at her: "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

    Zhen Lian raised his head when he heard the words, and said softly: "There is one more junior sister at the Red Lantern Festival."

    "so?"

    Zhen Lian took a cautious look at Li Yan: "It's Miss Dorothy from the Black Rose Theater. This morning she volunteered to join the club and paid a tuition fee of 10,000 US dollars. Well, it was Liang Hui who brought her here  .¡±

    She hesitated for a while before adding: "Liang Hui brought her here."

    Zha Xiaodao whistled playfully.

    Li Yan frowned: "Where is she?"

    "I was in the church, and Dorothy was very interested in the allusions of the gods in the "Secret Book of the Sun", so I lent her the book."

    Li Yan nodded, and was about to leave. Zhen Lian hastily added: "In order to preach, I explained to her some great deeds of the blue-clothed emperor."

    Li Yan laughed dumbfounded after hearing this: "It doesn't matter at all."

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    "Everything in the world is in the red crown emperor, which is equal to the ultimate source of life. And the black robe emperor exists in everything in the world. It uses false logic and knowledge to take off the red crown of the old king, and human beings  As a sacrifice, enslave them forever."

    The "Secret Code of the Taiyin" in Zhen Lian's hand is a Portuguese traveler's handwritten English translation of an ancient Chinese book, with monochrome photos of Qinli bamboo tubes attached to it, and behind each photo are the traveler's handwritten English notes  .  This book has gone through several generations of masters, and the translation has been more or less completed, even if the text of some photos is illegible.  Even if you only read English, you can understand 60% to 70% of it.

    Dorothy had been reading with great interest, but suddenly, she saw a section in translation and couldn't help frowning.

    This section is written in the larger blank space between the two photos, and it is impossible to tell which photo is the English translation for. There are four photos, but five sections are written here, and the extra one  section reads:

    "The red-crowned emperor once intercoursed with an Indian woman in an unknown way, and gave birth to a god with partial human blood. It, no, he was dressed in blue, adhering to the will of the red-crowned emperor"

    The English handwriting in this paragraph is slightly different from the front and back, and it is not easy to find if you don't look carefully.  Moreover, there are more than four grammatical errors in less than a hundred words.  In some places the ink is still new and does not match the color of the rest of the writing.  This made Dorothy secretly watch out.

    She flipped through a few more pages, and found several commentary passages that seemed to be imposed, and these passages, without exception, mentioned the so-called "Emperor in Blue".

    Dorothy stroked the paper, and she was almost 90% sure that these contents were non-existent, and they were not the original text in the Taiyin Secret Code, but were added by later generations.

    Gangsters, greedy sorceresses, false scriptures, are these people really reliable?

    Squeak~

    The wooden door with a somewhat rotten handle was suddenly pushed open. Dorothy, who was in deep thought, exclaimed and raised her head in a panic.

    Li Yan stared at Dorothy's flushed face, and looked around: "Are there any mice in the room? Ma'am."

    Dorothy rolled her hair, forced a smile and said, "Miss Zhenlian's book is quite interesting."

    She stood up, walked up to Li Yan and stretched out her slender white and tender palm: "It's really not easy to see you, Mr. LiangHui?"

    "I usually like drama art. I bought the tickets through a friend's network. You can call me Li Yan."

    Dorothy squinted her eyes, as if she had caught a golden cat with a bell: "I don't know, what style of drama does Mr. Li Yan like? Classicism? Realism? Comedy or tragedy? Can you give me an example?"

    "Don Juan."

    Without waiting for Dorothy to ask more questions, Li Yan changed the subject: "Miss Dorothy didn't come to see me to discuss religion and drama art, did she?"

    Dorothy lowered her head and pondered for a while, then raised her head and said: "Miss Zhen Lian said that the emperor in blue is a wise and generous god. I am willing to dedicate my life's wealth and serve His Majesty wholeheartedly. As long as you can help me  get rid of it."

    "How about sitting down and talking?"

    Unexpectedly, Dorothy shook her head, and then said: "But I hope we can be honest with each other. In this last days of gods full of steam machines, I have experienced too many disappointments. Most of the liars who coveted me died at its hands  Then, the emperor in blue will make me loseHope?  "

    Dorothy looked directly at Li Yan.

    "I don't know if the emperor in blue can do it. I'm willing to give it a try."

    Li Yan turned serious.

    Dorothy exhaled, and then, she walked to a wardrobe mirror, faced Li Yan, and showed her back to the mirror.

    "What did you see? Mr. Li Yan?"

    "A sexy beauty."

    Dorothy smiled at Li Yan, and then she took off a platinum chain from her neck, on which was connected a dark chafing dish-shaped part, which was a small triathlon.

    Dang lang~

    The necklace was thrown on the table by her. Under the candlelight, Dorothy's forehead was dripping with sweat, and her voice was hoarse: "What now?"

    In front of the mirror, Dorothy was still shining brightly, but the back of the slender beauty in the mirror disappeared, replaced by a cloud of black smoke, with octopus-like mouthparts and tentacles surging out of the black mist, and the tentacles curled up.  There are quills, parchments, inkwells, hourglasses, clocks, and occasionally the remains of various animals, including half mice, fish eyes, and human faces.

    "A sexy beauty with a terrifying back."

    Li Yan narrowed his eyes.

    "Help, help me"

    Dorothy screamed in pain, her towering chest heaved violently because of fear, and her tone was even crying: "It is calling me, turn back, I can't turn back, anyone who looks directly at it is dead  ,please help me."

    Li Yan picked up the triathlon necklace on the table, put it on for Dorothy, and stuffed the triathlon into Dorothy's neck.  The back figure appeared on the broken mirror.

    For a while, Dorothy's face was pale, her pupils were dilated, and she could hardly breathe. She grabbed Li Yan's shoulder, her nails sank into Li Yan's clothes, and she couldn't breathe for a long time.

    "It really won't hurt youit can't confuse youotherwise, now you'll either become a lunatic or become a part of it."

    Li Yan helped Dorothy to the table and poured him a pot of black tea.  "Haven't you seen it?" he asked.

    "I have heard others describe it."

    "who?"

    "My adoptive father, my best friend, and many others, they're all dead."

    Dorothy raised her head, her hair was sticky with sweat: "Can you help me, sir?"

    "I'm not sure, I'm not interested in knowing its origins, family heritage, sects, wraiths, antique curses, whatever. I can try to help you, the kind that gets paid, that's before that, I have to ask more  In a word, do you really want to drive it away, or kill it?"

    "certainly!"

    Dorothy opened her eyes wide: "It is the most terrible parasite. It kills everyone close to me. It will kill me."

    "If you don't look back, you won't. If you wear a triathlon, you won't."

    Dorothy shook her head frantically, and she murmured to herself: "I can't stand it, it splits my soul, you know, every night when I go to bed, there are countless voices arguing in my head, Princess and the Pea yelling for more  Too many luxuries and jewels, Jane is a war freak, thinks about her steam soldiers all the time, Celtic makes me dance all night. One morning I woke up in a revealing ballet dress I had never seen before.  With a loaded pistol in my hand, I almost lost my mind."

    "It also brings you honor, fame, and status. You have become the greatest drama actor at the end of this century, and countless people are fascinated by you. Have you ever thought that if you get rid of it, your drama will still be that amazing?"  Are you obsessed with the magic in it?"

    " How can you be sure, sir, that removing it would make my play lose its charm?"

    Dorothy was a little unconvinced.

    "I'm just offering a possibility, and I decided to ask you to come."

    Dorothy was in a daze for a while, opened her mouth several times, but swallowed the words.

    "Everything has a price, Miss Dorothy, can you afford this price?"

    Li Yan asked with a smile.

    Dorothy's eyes flickered, but she didn't answer.

    Li Yan patted her on the shoulder: "Come to me after you think about it."

    Dorothy lowered her head sadly, and just as she was about to leave, Li Yan said again: "By the way, I know that recently many people have given you a lot of strange things, including an anti-steamism book."  If you don¡¯t need it, can you give it to me? It will be regarded as a deposit.¡±

    Dorothy nodded with a disappointed expression: "I will send someone to deliver the book tomorrow. Goodbye, Mr. Li Yan."

    "Say hello to Jane for me."

    Li Yan on the chair said so, (remember this website website: www.hlnovel.com)Head: "I will send someone to deliver the book tomorrow. Goodbye, Mr. Li Yan."
