Chapter 159: Strange Ancient Books

"when?"

"It won't be in the near future, school will start soon! Let Grandpa Tosta, Blood Guard, and Ghost Guard continue to search, tentatively... Christmas! If there is no news about the old man during the Christmas holiday, I will personally Go take a trip!”

"Okay! I'm with you!"

Qin Weijie glanced at Tom and smiled: "I have to! You think you can escape!"

Qin Weijie smiled and pointed to the apple on the coffee table: "Peel an apple for me..."

As Qin Weijie opened Jiu'er's letter, Tom rolled his eyes at Qin Weijie dissatisfied: "Young master, you really treat me as your servant, right... Didn't you say that eating with the skin on is healthier? "

Qin Weijie looked at the letter in his hand and said, "Sweet without skin!"

"Yes! It went smoother than I thought!" Qin Weijie suddenly exclaimed.

Tom's half-peeled apple was frightened by Qin Weijie's hand, and the original intact apple peel was broken in the middle. Tom couldn't help but frowned, and threw the half-peeled apple into the trash can, and took it again. He continued to peel an apple, looking at Qin Weijie displeased as he peeled it.

"Can you please stop being so surprised? What happened again?"

"I told you a few days ago that the batch of cultural relics from the lost ancient country of China has been revealed... The batch of cultural relics collected by the British Museum have little value as a whole. They are mostly documents and artifacts. It can be concluded that there is no way to practice mystical methods. .

However, Jiu'er investigated and found out that there was a mysterious wealthy businessman who was obsessed with Chinese culture. He once went to the ruins of Bactria with the Tsarist Russian expedition and brought back a lot of things from China, but that guy was a little unlucky and offended a certain high-ranking official in the parliament.

When he brought those things back from China, all the antique artifacts on the ship were seized, leaving him only a batch of strange ancient books..."

Tom frowned slightly: "Ancient books? Why do you use the word 'weird' to describe it!?"

"According to Jiu'er's letter, there should be some kind of mysterious 'curse' in those ancient books. Ever since those ancient books were brought back, the unlucky wealthy businessman had nightmares all day long and was losing weight. Finally, eight years ago, Died in his sleep.

I heard that the second son of the wealthy businessman said that his father's death was extremely horrific. He was so thin that he was reduced to skin and bones. A tall man with a height of 1.8 meters weighed less than 80 kilograms before he died. His skin also turned jet black. His expression after death was extremely ferocious, his eyes wide open as if he was afraid of something.

After the death of the wealthy businessman, the old house where ancient books were stored and most of the inheritance were inherited by his eldest son, and this terrible curse also fell on his eldest son. In the end, his eldest son could not escape the curse. Four years ago and His father also died in his sleep, and the appearance of his death was almost the same.

Later, because the legitimate son was a good man from Longyang and had no heirs, after the legitimate son died, he left the old house and inheritance to his younger brother, the second son of a wealthy businessman.

The second son realized that the family might be cursed. After thinking about it, he thought it was related to those ancient books, so he discarded them all. But the strange thing was that every time the ancient books were discarded, it would appear again the next morning. In the original basement.

The second son of the wealthy businessman tried many times and even burned the ancient books. As a result, the ancient books appeared in the basement again the next day. At the same time, the guy also started to have nightmares. The strange thing was that he only knew that he had nightmares. , but every time I wake up, I can’t remember the content of the dream.

The poor guy had no choice but to move out of the old house. Miraculously, as long as he moved out of the old house, the nightmares that followed him would be reduced. Although he still had nightmares every now and then, compared to having nightmares in the old house, The frequency is much lower. "

"It sounds a bit like a magical accident caused by the leakage of magic items. Hasn't the Ministry of Magic investigated it? There are many similar cases every year. 80% of the cases handled by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic have similar incidents." Tom He analyzed and handed the apple to Qin Weijie.

Qin Weijie took the apple and took a bite: "The point is this. The Ministry of Magic sent three groups of Aurors to investigate, and for the first time a pendant with curse magic was found in the basement of the old house. The Aurors Thinking that the pendant had influenced the family, they put away the pendant and left.

As a result, the owner of the old house was still having nightmares a few days after leaving, and began to lose weight day by day. The Aurors went to investigate for the second time, and found no trace of magic. Just in case, the Aurors even used magic to seal the items. The ancient books were sealed and taken away, but the next day the ancient books reappeared in the basement of the wealthy businessman's old house.

The third time, the Aurors were anxious. Since they couldn't take it away, they would destroy it directly. They used extremely skilled hands to cast all kinds of magic, even black magic, but the result was still ineffective. The Aurors just Can call it a day in frustration. The strange thing is that those Aurors who attempted to sabotage had accidents one after another in the next few days. They either lost arms or legs or had brain problems. The two most miserable ones just threw themselves into the street..."

After listening to Qin Weijie's story, Tom couldn't help but gnash his teeth: "Tsk, it's indeed a bit weird. Are you going to take a look?"

"Jiu'er has already purchased the old house and bought the ancient books by the way. We can go there and have a look at any time, but before we go, I have to find an old acquaintance to ask about those ancient books." Qin Weijie's lips curled up slightly.

"who?"

"That unlucky Pierce! Jiuer said that Pierce's blindness seemed to be related to the old house..." Qin Weijie took out his wand and pointed at the fireplace. A green flame ignited in an instant: "I'll contact Pierce first and ask him to come over in the evening."

Tom and Qin Weijie looked at the flame burning in the fireplace. The flame jumped and crackled. After a long time, the flame finally changed. A one-eyed man's head poked out of the flame, looking around with a puzzled look. When he saw Qin Weijie, his resolute and serious face was instantly filled with a flattering smile.

"Master! It turned out that you contacted me!" Pierce smiled apologetically.

Qin Weijie said unhappily: "Haha, you still know I'm the young master! Tell me where you've been recently?"

"Captain Desmond asked me to investigate the case of the attack on the magic diplomat. The case has reached a dead end and there has been no progress recently! By the way, young master..." Pierce lowered his voice and looked around vigilantly:

"I found out the identity of the vampire. The other party belongs to the 'Solomon Pillar God', which is a secret organization active east of the Balkan Peninsula and west of the Mesopotamian Basin. The deceased Diplochi is codenamed 'Benobe' in the 'Solomon Pillar God'"
