I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

Li Yuan could only make out the five-pointed star drawn with blood-red dye on the surface of the round table.

As for the other symbols and patterns, he couldn't understand them.

Li Yuan stroked his chin, looked him up and down for a while, and muttered softly:

"Hmm... the design is a bit strange, it doesn't look like commonly used furniture."

Unable to guess the purpose of the desktop, Li Yuan shook his head.

Then he took a chair out of the system space.

He prepared to place the round table on it and observe it carefully.

But just as he bent down to pick up the round table,

Suddenly, a 'clunk' sound came from inside the round table.

There seems to be something hidden inside!

Li Yuan quickly placed the round table on the chair and began to carefully feel along the patterns on it.

Just as he randomly pressed a red fan-shaped pattern,

With a "click," the mechanism was immediately triggered.

A drawer suddenly popped out from the side of the round table!

Li Yuan quickly stood up and went over to check.

Inside the drawer were three beautifully crafted, antique books.

Li Yuan curiously took the book out of the drawer.

On the black book cover, there were some gold patterns and words.

Li Yuan gently stroked the golden letters written on it:

Volume One: The Demon

"Oh, is that the Book of Demons?"

Li Yuan looked at the name in the book and showed a surprised expression.

He casually opened the cover and flipped through it carefully.

The records above all describe how to summon demons.

How to communicate with demons and how to make a pact.

The book contains detailed records of rituals, incantations, and related rules.

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head. This thing wasn't very useful to him, but it was better than nothing.

He then looked at two other books.

These are Volume II: Symbols and Volume III: Overview.

The "Symbols" contain the true names, marks, and barrier symbols of various demons, used to restrain them.

The overview records various real-world cases, risks, costs, and lessons learned.

Li Yuan casually flipped through it and chuckled, teasingly saying:

"I never imagined the owner of this warehouse was a demon strategist. Could he be a warlock?"

After putting away the books, Li Yuan looked around the small warehouse again.

But nothing else was found.

But recalling the surveillance footage he saw in Eddie's office,

There must be some unspeakable secrets in this warehouse.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained the same for decades.

Doing something that seems meaningless.

Li Yuan composed himself and looked around the small warehouse again.

They wanted to find the hidden secrets within.

Then he suddenly remembered the stench he had smelled when he first opened the warehouse door.

Perhaps because he had been there for so long, Li Yuan had actually gotten used to the stench and had completely ignored it.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan quickly wrinkled his nose.

Sure enough, he found some clues.

The closer he got to the inner wall, the more pronounced the stench became.

With a wave of his right hand, Li Yuan instantly stored the shelf leaning against the wall into his system space.

A filthy padlock was suddenly revealed below.

"Damn, they hid it pretty well."

Li Yuan waved his hand and summoned his greatsword, severing the lock in one strike.

Then, holding the greatsword in one hand, he yanked the keyhole with the other.

The hidden door was suddenly pulled open with a "whoosh".

"Cough...cough cough..."

The stench that hit him made Li Yuan stumble back a few steps. He covered his nose and complained:

"Holy crap, did he raise a demon in there?"

Li Yuan stood at the doorway, letting the smell inside dissipate.

Only then, with a look of disgust, did he walk into this secluded space.

Inside the long and winding secret passage,

Li Yuan endured the stench...

I looked around curiously at the statues of God, the cross, and the Bible hanging on both sides of the wall.

The records in those three books also confirmed Li Yuan's guess.

It seems the owner of the warehouse really is keeping a demon here, but I wonder how powerful the demon is.

However, as they went deeper into the secret passage, the stench emanating from it became even more pronounced.

Li Yuan felt the air around him become damp and cold.

Clearly, the demon here is no ordinary being.

After turning another corner,

Li Yuan finally arrived at the secret chamber at the end of the secret passage.

The secret room wasn't dark; instead, several orange wall lamps were lit.

On the floor in the very center of the secret chamber,

A red pentagram magic circle was drawn using a certain fine sand-like powder.

On the magic circle lay a female corpse with dried skin.

Li Yuan stared at the mummified corpse whose face had been gouged out, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Wow, I can only say that the power of human greed is unimaginable; people even dare to touch something like this."

Because Li Yuan clearly saw that

On the head of the corpse, there seemed to be some soft tentacles, gently swaying.

But then, Li Yuan shook his head again, muttering to himself:

"However, according to the records in those books, he should not be a monster of the Kelvin type, but a demon."

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief; he certainly didn't want to become an investigator...

At this moment, he turned his gaze to the altar beside him.

There was an open book there.

Judging from the material of the pages, this book is very likely from the same set as the other three books.

Li Yuan carefully bypassed the magic circle and arrived at the edge of the altar.

He picked up the fourth book on the shelf and began to carefully look through it.

Volume 4: The Seal

The above describes the ultimate ritual for permanently confining a demon to a vessel in the human world.

This is also the core of these four books.

As Li Yuan read the contents...

He also learned the purpose of the female corpse.

Similar to how hellish demons frequently possess humans they fancy,

However, this Semitic Canaanite demon,

The true God descends directly into the container prepared by the believer.

Just as Li Yuan was watching with great interest,

But their ears keenly picked up the footsteps coming from the secret passage!

"Damn it! Someone came in. I should have closed the door!"

Li Yuan suddenly looked up and saw the guy who had bid against him for the warehouse.

At this moment, he sneaked into the secret room with a shifty look on his face, a dagger in his hand.

"Hello!"

Li Yuan, holding the Book of Demons, called out to the man.

But the other party didn't react at all.

At this moment, his eyes had changed from cautious to greedy.

They were slowly moving closer to the corpse.

"This demon seems to have some ability; even when sealed away, it can still tempt others."

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head, then waved his right hand.

He subconsciously unleashed the [Hammer of Judgment].

Get ready to knock the intruder unconscious.

But just as the skill hit the target,

Li Yuan immediately regretted it.

Because that guy was too close to the magic circle.

He was now falling forward unconscious, about to touch the magic circle made of red powder on the ground.

Seeing this, Li Yuan suddenly rushed forward.

He swung his greatsword in an instant, slashing at the man who was about to fall!

But Li Yuan was ultimately a step too slow.

Just as the sword tip was about to strike him,

The man crashed heavily onto the magic circle.

With a muffled thud,

The originally neat red magic circle was instantly destroyed.

The red powder was swept irregularly and scattered all over the ground.

"Damn it! This bastard's insane!"

Li Yuan cursed under his breath as he did so.

With a "crack," the surrounding wall lamps shattered instantly.

The once brightly lit basement was instantly plunged into darkness.

Just as Li Yuan's eyes were adjusting to the brightness in the basement,

Several jet-black tentacles suddenly shot out from the woman's face.

It pierced straight into the man lying on the ground!
