If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 396 The Bible
Lancelot is dead.

As a member of the transfer students who were at odds with Mandy and Lin Nian, Lancelot's death should have made them gloat or open champagne to celebrate, but they had no such interest at the moment—to be precise, Mandy Dee didn't have this interest. After leaving the death scene, she rushed to the school library without looking back.

In the library, Lin Nian was sitting on a chair holding a copy of "Portrait of Criminal Minds" and munching on it. Mandy hurriedly walked through the countless bookshelves, muttering and flipping through the books on the shelves. Come to the librarian's attention, but due to the incident at noon, few people can bear their temper and stay in the library to read books, so she can't disturb other people by doing such nonsense.

"What are you looking for?"

"A very old book."

"How old?"

"Your dad wasn't even born when it was written."

"How do I know how long ago my father was born? I'm an orphan."

"Oh, sorry. I found it!" Mandy suddenly yelled, and pulled out a dusty black-covered book from the bookshelf in front of her.

Lin Nian, who was sitting on the long table next to the bookshelf, squinted at the book in her hand, "It took you so long to find this book?"

"It's not easy to find a Bible that is intact and free from graffiti in an age when young people dare to joke about God. Who would dare to open a Bible that is placed in an obvious place? Open the contents inside the cover They've probably all been replaced with "PlayBoy." Mandy walked to the desk in a hurry, put the book in her hand on the table, dusted it and opened it.

"What is PlayBoy?"

"Don't pretend to be innocent, I see you raised your eyebrows." Mandy muttered and flipped through the Bible back and forth, as if trying to find something.

"After we found a transfer student dead in the toilet, you immediately ran here to read the Bible. Are you frightened and want to use God's manuscript to warn the evil devil? What clues did you find in this old book that was eating ashes?" Lin Nian finished flipping through the "Portrait of Criminal Minds" in his hand and closed the book, looking at Mandy who was concentrating on it.

"The transfer student named Chu Zihang said that the victim had tent nails in his head." Mandy said, "Tent nails are not wooden nails, not BBQ skewers, but tent nails. You are not curious about the murder weapon." Thousands of thousands, why does it have to be tent pegs?"

"I'm not curious." Lin Nian said, "Why should I be curious about such an obvious thing?"

Mandy was still flipping through the contents of the Bible, Lin Nian had already stretched out his hand and helped her turn to one of the pages, Mandy originally wanted him not to make trouble, but after glancing at the contents of the book, her eyes fell away. I can't pull it out anymore.

"The Israelites were capricious, not satisfied with one god, and most of the time they got into trouble because they had rebelled against the teachings of God at that time. At that time they were suffering from the brutal rule of their enemies King Jabin and General Sisera. God knew and sent a prophet to form an army. The prophet found a man named Barak to lead the army. Barak said that if you want me to believe you, then you must join this army and fight for me."

"The prophet said. Their enemy, the enemy of God, General Sisera, will not die by her hand, but by a woman. This is God's will. Anyone who does not obey God will die. "Mandy glanced at Lin Nian, lowered his head and pointed to the story in the Bible and continued to tell in a low voice, "The Israelites who lost their way and believed in God soon won the victory, but General Sisera managed to escape from the battlefield. Entering a tent, the owner of the tent gave him a glass of milk. After drinking the milk, Sisera fell into a deep sleep."

"Then the owner of the tent drove a tent nail into General Sisera's head with a hammer, and the nail pierced into Sisera's head from the temple, and then came out from the other side and pierced into the ground, so that Sisera's head was nailed into the ground, and before he died, he seemed to be praying to God in repentance." Lin Nian then finished the last cruel paragraph.

"Tent pegs." Mandy slowly pushed the Bible to the center of the table, "This is the way to die in the Bible."

"The clue you want." Lin Nian reached out and rubbed his hand on the pages of the Bible, then withdrew his hand and rubbed the dust on his fingertips, "It turns out that you have spent so much time coming here to verify this, you should have said it earlier Maybe I'll tell you directly."

"How did I know you were so bored memorizing the Bible? I didn't expect you to be a Christian!"

"As I said, I just have a good memory." Lin Nian wiped the dust off the table with his hands, "How can this clue help us?"

"The person who crucified General Sisera was originally named Jael in the Bible, a female name. She was a Gentile woman, but she had sufficient faith and knowledge of God and understood God's will. After seeing Sisera's body, the prophet They all have respect for the heroic woman, and bluntly said that she saw the radiance of God in her, and she was God's agent at the moment she killed Sisera." Mandy looked at the Bible and read a passage, "Sisera Bow down at her feet, bend down at her feet; bend there, there you fall and perish."

"The Israelites fell into Sisera's violent rule because they betrayed God. After they re-believed in God, they got the blessing of God and killed their enemies. Does it mean that those who do not respect God will eventually face cruel death?" Lin Nian said, "This story in China can be roughly summed up in two idioms: Is it too late to mend the situation after it is dead?"

"Why did the murderer choose such a religious method of death? What is he implying?" Mandy rubbed her fingers and asked herself softly.

"His behavior was instructed by the gods. Anyone who pursues him is against the gods? Oh, in that case, the tragedy of the transfer student being nailed to the wall can also be explained. The murderer is God's chosen people, God As an agent, it is understandable to have some power." Lin Nian said with a low smile.

"This joke is not funny, it turns out that in modern society anything that dares to call itself a 'god' will be crushed by realism," Mandy whispered.

"There are many ways to die in the Bible, and those ways of dying don't seem like they should appear in the Bible. Instead, they are more suitable for horror movies." Lin Nian crossed his hands and fingers, "But these ways of dying basically have a reason. , the more miserable the death, the more justifiable, and most of them have only one reason—the dead have betrayed the will of God.”

"Broiled by fire, pierced into the internal organs, eaten alive by insects, intestinal disease, and eaten by dogs." Mandy quickly flipped through the Bible, and the more she read it, the more she felt palpitations. Under Lin Nian's reminders from time to time, she will soon These odds and ends are more or less related to the ways of death related to betraying God. After reading it, her face turned pale.

These death methods in the story are extremely tragic. If it is put into reality, what kind of terrifying scene will it be?Being crisped by fire. What kind of painful process would it be for a living person to be crisped by fire?

"The tent spikes are obviously just the beginning." Lin Nian said, looking directly into Mandy's eyes, "There are still fourteen transfer students, and the remaining fourteen people will probably have to suffer from these hardships of betraying God. Even In this way, do you still want me to get out of the matter? You may not be able to solve this matter by yourself, right? "

"...We can't let him go on like this." Mandy took a deep breath, "If our deduction is true, then we will face fourteen lives!"

"Even if the fourteen people wanted to kidnap you before?" Lin Nian looked sideways at Mandy, who had already told him more or less about the transfer students.

"They are looking for the murderer, we are also looking for the murderer, we have the same enemy."

"When the two sides are facing each other, the best solution is for a third party to intervene and set up a foreign enemy?" Lin Nian smiled. "It's an old routine, but it's often very effective."
