My Waste Husband
Chapter 1407

Chapter 1407

On the way to the library, Henry tried to make the Heretic God speak more than once. However, the Heretic God had never said anything and had completely learned how to control himself.

The library of Ensver City was jointly managed by the three major academies. There were many books stored in it. Whoever entered the library had to pay ten thousand as a deposit. That was an eight-month salary for an academy teacher.

In this advanced civilization, there were still reading materials made of paper. It could be said that these were antiques, which led to the library being very deserted. But the three academies did not care. It was normal for the library to be empty, but every city must have a building like this.

After identity authentication, Henry finally entered the library after he paid a deposit and a series of other things. He was told that all his behaviour would be monitored. Even if the book got slightly damaged, the deposit paid would not be returned.

Henry swept the inside of the library. There was no one in the large library. Rows of bookshelves were filled with neatly arranged books.

Henry looked at the catalogues and searched for nearly half an hour before he found a book about the totems. It didn't tell a lot of things. It only mentioned some very simple things, which made Henry generally understand what he needed. Then, Henry searched the whole library but couldn't find a second book related to the totem.

According to the information Henry had acquired, totems were the existence of faith. Some people had even mentioned that the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth had something to do with totems. Totems could be made for True spirits, and during ancient times, totems controlled everything in the world. In this world, there were three types of totems. However, each of the three types of totems was completely different from the other. In fact, in every era, the totems would change, and there were many different types of totems. It was impossible to determine.

Although the information Henry got was very little, he could sort it out. If the totem was really the legendary existence of the Core civilization and the Heretic God had a totem himself, he needed to figure out its origin. Of course, Henry did not fully believe in the words of the Heretic God. Who knew whether the word totem was deliberately said by the Heretic God or not.

By the time Henry finished with the library, it was already noon.

Henry received several messages from his communication device, many of which were related to Radiant Island. Many media outlets had already begun to seize this mysterious organization, and verbey worked very fast. The media had already revealed that bandits had committed crimes outside the city, and the people of Radiant Island had come forward to stop them.

These masked men of Radiant Island claimed to be the Reapers, but what they did was for Justice.

During this period of time, they wanted to discuss whether the island's existence was a good or bad thing. It was immediately pushed to the front page of Ensver City's official website, and everyone who had a residence in Ensver City could make their point. However, there were not many who supported the island's existence. After all, the sudden appearance of a large-scale force would make people uneasy.

Henry walked out of the library leisurely and went to the community where he lived.

At the gate of the community, Henry suddenly saw a well-dressed grey-haired old man sitting at the gate. In front of the old man, there was a set of Chinese chess!

Henry walked over with curiosity and looked at the chessboard in front of the old man. When he got closer, he found that there was still some difference between this game and chess on the surface, but not much. At least the chessboard was the same.

"Well, do you also know something about Chinese chess?" Seeing that Henry had been staring at the chessboard in front of him, the grey- haired old man asked excitedly.

Henry shook his head and said, "I don't quite understand rules, but I'm a little interested."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." Hearing this, the old man became more excited. He quickly took out a thumb and sat down for Henry. "Come, young man, I'll teach you. I'll teach you a lesson. Let's play two rounds."

After the old man finished speaking, he started to tell Henry the story without waiting for Henry's reply. Henry listened with great interest.

In the end, Henry found that this was just the same as what he played on the surface, but there were some names, such as the rook in the chess game, which was called "Tiger" here, but it still played a similar role.

"Well, young man, do you understand now? Do you understand enough to play a few games? This is very simple. I'll let you get addicted to it." The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Henry, looking like an old liar.

Henry could tell at a glance that the old man was obviously obsessed with chess. Anyway, he had nothing to do, and Henry was also happy to play two games. This point in culture is the same in both worlds.

"Sure." Henry nodded.

"Then come on!" The old man shook off his arm. 'TH let you have a tiger and a deer first. What do you think?"

The tiger was the rook in the chess, and the deer was the horse in the chess. The old man already made a considerable concession.

"Okay." Henry said with a smile.

Three minutes later, the old man widened his eyes and looked at the chessboard in front of him.

"Checkmate!" Henry pushed a tiger to the end of the old man's chessboard. Henry's move made the old man have no chance to take action.

"This!" The old man looked at the chessboard and stared at Henry.

"Old man, you can't defeat me." Henry laughed, stood up, and was ready to leave.

When the old man saw that Henry was going to leave, he quickly reached out his hand. "Don't go, let's have another round! I just let you win. This time I won't let you, let's have another round!"

Henry saw that the old man didn't want to let go and said helplessly, "Okay."

After another five minutes, the old man widened his eyes again and looked at the chessboard in front of him. He lost again!

"How is this possible?" The old man was a bit stunned. This game only took less than five minutes in total, and the opponent completely won him with overwhelming superiority.

"No, let's do it again. Let's do it again." The old man was not reconciled.

"Forget it. I don't have time today. Let's talk about it when I have the time." Henry turned his head and looked behind him. Not far behind Henry, a group of people came aggressively. The leader was a man in his sixties. He was wearing a black suit. The people behind him were all very respectful to him. Henry's intuition told him that these people came for him.

"All right." The old man in front of Henry sighed. "I'm here every day. If you have time, come and play with me."

"Okay, I'll come when I'm free." Henry got up with a smile and then walked to the opposite side of the neighbourhood gate.

The group of people was led by Master Niu. Master Niu saw Henry from afar. As soon as he came up, he found that Henry hurriedly got up and went elsewhere.

Master Niu chuckled and said, "Oh, you're still a little alert. I'm afraid that he is at the late stage of Divine Realm, so we should be careful."

"Understood." The people behind Master Niu all replied.

"Let's go." Master Niu followed the direction that Henry left.

The old man sitting at the gate of the community saw Master Niu and the others passing by. He looked in the direction in which Henry left and said with a smile, "It's really not safe anywhere, but it's much better than those places."
