Chapter 906 Elegance
Finally, in a document called "Research on Ancient Japanese Mysterious Culture", he found some records similar to the symbols in the account book. The document describes that these symbols are an ancient spell text that originated from the Onmyoji culture of the Heian period. At that time, in order to cast powerful spells, Onmyoji created this unique writing system to record and seal various mysterious powers. However, most of these spells have been lost because their power is too strong and improper use will bring great disasters. It has been recorded in history that some greedy wizards tried to use these spells for personal gain, but they were eventually backfired by the spells and ended up in a tragic end. Moreover, the inheritance of these spell texts is extremely secretive, and only a very small number of Onmyoji families know the secrets. Lin You's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and he realized that he might be involved in a huge mystery. Where did this "spell account book" come from? What secrets does it hide? Will the warning of the black-robed man really come true? A series of questions circled in his mind, making him both excited and scared. But at this time, Lin You had made up his mind that no matter how many dangers lay ahead, he would uncover the truth behind this account book.
The air conditioner in the Kyoto University Library made a slight hum, and Lin You's fingertips repeatedly rubbed the yellowed pages. There were seven heavy ancient books stacked in front of him. The latest one, "Research on Ancient Japanese Mystical Culture", had been folded countless times, and the sticky notes sandwiched between the pages were densely filled with notes. The sunlight outside the window shone through the stained glass, casting mottled blocks of color on the table, reflecting the strange symbols on the account book in a flickering manner. "Dong--" The sound of the bell from the distant clock tower startled Lin You. He realized that it was past noon without realizing it, and he felt a sharp hunger in his stomach. Just as he was about to close the book, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the marble floor came from far away. Lin You subconsciously looked up and saw a man in a black suit walking through the corridor of the reading room. The man's well-tailored suit had a cold and hard luster, and he was playing with a silver pocket watch between his pale fingers. The dial was faintly engraved with the five-pointed star totem of the Yin-Yang master. The man's eyes swept the entire space accurately like a searchlight, and finally locked onto Lin You. He raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth, walked straight through the rows of bookshelves, and sat down in the empty seat opposite Lin You. The leather seat made a slight creaking sound, forming a strange contrast with the rustling sound of turning books around. "You must be Lin You, I want to talk to you about the 'Spell Account Book'." The man's voice was low and magnetic, but it made the hair on the back of Lin You's neck stand up instantly. Lin You suddenly closed the book, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and looked at the other person vigilantly. There was a murderous aura between the man's eyebrows and eyes, and a light blue spell mark could be vaguely seen behind his left ear, like some kind of mysterious tattoo. "Who are you? How do you know I have that account book?" His voice unconsciously raised, attracting dissatisfied glances from several students sitting next to him. The man took off his black gloves elegantly, revealing the faint spell mark on the back of his hand. "My name is Sato, and I'm a sorcerer." He tapped the table with his fingertips, and a talisman with the word "seal" engraved on it silently stuck to Lin You's open notebook. "Our Sorcerer Association has been looking for this account book. It is related to the safety of the entire sorcery world." "Sorcerer?" Lin You's voice was full of suspicion. His eyes swept across "The Tale of Genji" on the bookshelf behind Sato, and then looked down at his notes filled with sorcery symbols. "This is ridiculous. How could there be..." "Look at this." Sato suddenly raised his hand, and a faint blue flame ignited in his palm. The flame jumped between his fingers, but it did not burn the skin at all. Instead, it made the cold light in his eyes even more fierce. The air around him suddenly became scorching hot, and the notebook of the student sitting next to him moved without wind, and the paper made a rustling sound. "Eight hundred years ago, Abe Haruaki's disciples sealed all their life's learning in that account book, including forbidden techniques that could subvert the world. If it falls into the hands of someone with bad intentions..." Sato's words were interrupted by a piercing chill. The temperature in the reading room dropped sharply, and the chandelier above suddenly began to shake violently. Lin You was horrified to see several figures in black robes emerging from the bookshelves. Their faces were hidden in the shadows, and only the black curse power flowing in their hands twisted and squirmed like living things. "Oh no, it's a curse master." Sato's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly pulled Lin You's wrist. He quickly formed a seal with his other hand, and a golden talisman flew out from his sleeve, turning into a barrier in front of the two of them. The curse power in the black-robed man's hand pounced like a venomous snake, hitting the talisman with a piercing scream, and the glass of the reading room was instantly covered with spider-web-like cracks. Lin You felt his temples throbbing, and the warning of the black-robed man last night echoed in his ears. Sato dragged him and stumbled into the maze of bookshelves, with the footsteps of the curse masters following behind him. The ancient books on the bookshelf were affected by the curse power and fell from a height. The hardcover books hit the ground with a dull sound, and the parchment scrolls exploded in the air, raising debris all over the sky. "Go right!" Sato suddenly pushed Lin You to the left aisle, and turned to face the pursuers. The hem of his suit moved automatically without wind, and the bag of spells on his waist popped open, and dozens of spells flew out like a flock of butterflies. Lin You heard the fierce collision of spells behind him, mixed with the sharp laughter of the curse masters. He staggered and held onto the bookshelf, but in panic he caught a glimpse of the pattern on the cover of an ancient book - it was a deformation of a symbol in the account book. "Don't be dazed!" Sato appeared behind him at some point, his forehead covered with cold sweat, and his white shirt was burned by the curse power. He grabbed Lin You again and ran towards the emergency exit at the back of the library. The curse powers of the curse masters brushed against the ends of Lin You's hair, leaving hideous charred marks on the wall. When they finally broke open the fire door, Lin You heard the loud noise of a bookshelf collapsing behind him. The two ran wildly in the narrow fire escape, and their footsteps echoed in the enclosed space. Sato's spells continued to cast a barrier behind him, and each time a spell burned, it would make a sound similar to the breaking of a guitar string. Finally, they turned into a moss-covered alley, and Sato quickly formed a seal, and the curse power at his fingertips outlined complex patterns in the air. A light blue barrier instantly rose at the entrance of the alley, completely isolating the figures of the pursuers. "Huh..." Sato slid to the ground against the damp wall, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, but found that the cigarettes were already soaked with sweat. He smiled self-deprecatingly and looked up at Lin You,
