Juliana’s workshop Chapter 15: Strange leather books


   The shadows of the portraits are just some vignettes. At the end, Lulunaka walked around in front of all the portraits hanging in this hall. The dirt that made the portraits hideous and terrifying disappeared one by one. In the light of her lantern. Moreover, the evil alchemist dragged Zhen Dina and introduced her to the characters in these portraits. She had to look directly at the creeping things in the portrait. She was not allowed to turn her head until the light of the lantern evaporates. .

   This is not a beautiful experience for Zhen Dina. It’s not a good thing to be forced to look at those old and evil portraits-she is not the kind of little girl who is afraid of ghost stories, but in such an environment, even women like Jessica will feel uncomfortable. Naturally, she can’t avoid… to be afraid of things that girls are afraid of. After being manipulated by Lulunaka like this, she might really become afraid of this silent and dark space.

   Those portraits that have no parasites of evil, although they have lost their disturbing filth, it does not mean that the portraits are reassuring. Junia and Jessica stood in front of a certain portrait. The portrait should be a certain generation of the owner of this ancient house, but the features of the face are really not thoughtless. If it is not because of the lack of maintenance of the portrait and the paint falling off, or the portrait is deformed because of parasites, then the male in the portrait, the dark eyes, look like…

  ”This eye really looks like the compound eyes of an insect.” Jessica said, “If you cover half of your face and only look at the eyes, then you will draw an insect.”

   “It’s not just him.” Junia said, “His ancestors are fine to say, but his successors seem to have more and more ‘characteristic’.”

  If you take this portrait as the center, you can see the same peculiar and interesting portrait by extending it on both sides. If you look to the left, the characters in the portrait will be more and more simple in dress, but the appearance is undoubtedly human; but if you look to the right, you will find that these gorgeously dressed people are becoming more and more insect-like—at least The face is so.

   “I hope they just drew and played like this.” Jessica wanted to reach out to touch the portraits, but she still withdrew her hand-although there is no filth, it is nothing to touch filthy things. Good idea, “Now some powerful people also want to deify themselves in portraits…or paint themselves like the devil. Of course, if you hang out in such a grand manner, they will be condemned or even punished by the church after all.”

  ”The cross of the church can be hung in such a place.” Junia replied, “There is no place to hang the cross here. It will only stain the cross black.”

   At this time, Lulu Naka was already standing on the stairs leading to the second floor, and Zhen Dina, whose face became very bad, followed her weakly. “Two, do you stay here or follow me to take a look elsewhere?”

   Junia and Jessica looked at each other and walked over to Lulunaka. They are not familiar with this place, and Lulunaka is like returning home, moving freely here, and even knows everything about this place. As a guide, she is indeed qualified-but this is just the most Strange place. She is so familiar with this place, so familiar to doubt what she has ever experienced.

   came to the second floor. Rows of portraits were also hung in the corridor on the second floor, but the content became more diverse, not just portraits of characters. In front of the portrait Lulunaka passed by, there was a puff of smoke, and some dirt was “burned out” by the lantern. The light ball used by Jessica for lighting has become an unnecessary thing. The magic power can be saved, so she canceled her spell. Lulunaka’s lantern is already enough to illuminate, and there is no more reassuring light than this, although the green looks a bit weird.

   Junia followed Lulunaka, and Zhendina and Jessica walked behind. He asked Lulunaka: “This place is strange, but is it related to what we need to track down?”

   “Oh, you should be able to see something, right?” Lulunaka smiled at Junia, “Didn’t you look at the portrait for a long time? You should also see the weirdness of this place. Where are you now?”

   Junia did not answer, Lulunaka went on to say, “Don’t you think that the people who live here are very insects and have fate?”

   Junia doesn’t think it’s just fate. The owners of some portraits look like insects in clothes.

  ”Since it’s a family with insects, it naturally has something to do with what we are looking for now.” Lulunaka continued, “And such an ancient house, besides scary things, maybe there are What about some surprises? Don’t you think so?”

   Junia didn’t want the surprise Lulunaka said, but now she is the dominant one. He is the one who asks for others. No matter what Lulunaka wants to do, he just Can cater first.

  Under the leadership of Lulunaka, they came to what should be considered a study. When the long-closed door was opened, everyone smelled the musty odor wafting out of it, which was the smell of disturbed air in the still space.

  Lulunaka walked in first, and the other three followed her. The study they entered was not small. There were several bookshelves posted on the walls. Some books even needed to be climbed up by a wooden ladder to get them. This is not so much a study room as it is a small library with a desk. Whether it is a bookshelf or a desk, including those decorative objects, it has been covered with a thick layer of dust, even if there are guests visiting, there is no plan to raise it. On the outermost side of the study, there is a window to see the outside. Look at the direction of the window. If you stand there, you can probably see the scenery outside the manor.

   How long has no one visited here? Only Lulu Naka knows. The dust here did not hinder Lulunaka~IndoMTL.com~ She walked to the edge of one of the bookshelves, took out a thick-skinned book, and began to read it. “Huh… really interesting discovery.” She whispered, looking very interested.

   Jessica also walked to the edge of a bookshelf and reached out to touch the spine of those books. “The books here have been for hundreds of years? I think this place will be a bookseller’s paradise.”

   “If you want these books, you can find someone to move it back then. You know this place, and I don’t think I can stop you from coming here to clean up in the future.” Luluna didn’t raise her head either. , Just said to Jessica: “But there are some books, I think it’s better not to show them to others.”

   Jin Dina approached Lulunaka with a curious look, “Are these books valuable?”

   Lulunaka suddenly raised her head, with a strange joke on her face, “No, some will make you tied to the torture rack to enjoy the warmth. For example, this interesting book.” Lulunaka held the hand The book was lifted up, allowing Gendina to see the cover of the book. The cover of the book with pores, but looks very smooth, and does not conflict between the two, has a light color, and looks like some kind of leather…

   Zhen Dina looked at it for a while, her face turned blue, and she took a few steps back. Junia and Jessica looked at something wrong, and walked over, and then their faces changed at the same time.

   Lulunaka is holding a book with a cover made of animal leather, but this animal is not an ordinary animal, but a human, intelligent and rational animal…

  Books made of human skin are scary and disgusting no matter what era they are placed in. And Lulu Naka, who was holding such a book, laughed like a devil, “Look at you, your face has changed, it’s really funny.”
