Since it is speculated that there may be a hidden mezzanine in the library, the next focus is how to get to this hidden "0 floor".
Qin Lu's "plate transposition" skill has been used up. If he wants to use it again, he has to wait 24 hours. Even if Xin Yan uses a catalyst to speed up, he has to wait 12 hours.
Yue Xingwen's "Escape Plan" can teleport with teammates, but this skill can't specify a precise angle and can't directly reach the corresponding coordinate position.
No one else has the skills to ignore architectural obstacles, so if they want to enter the so-called "mezzanine", they still have to find the entrance to the mezzanine.
Zhang Xiaonian speculated: "The database on the first floor is more than 5 meters high, and the mezzanine is likely to be hidden inside the database. The database is surrounded by solid wood bookshelves, which are full of books. Will it be? One of the books is the mechanism to open the mezzanine?"
Ke Shaobin said excitedly: "I think so too! There are countless books in the database. When we usually go to the database to upgrade the skill books, we don't read all the books carefully. If there is an institution in it, it is really difficult to get caught. Students find out."
Yue Xingwen shook his head and said, "The database we usually see is definitely not the same as the current one."
Jiang Pingce agreed and said: "Yes, the entire building of the library is now in the examination state, and when we usually go to the database to upgrade our skills, it is not in the examination state."
Yue Xingwen continued: "In the usual database, everyone has an independent space and does not interfere with each other. We have never been to the database under the examination state."
Ke Shaobin thought about it, Xingwen and Pingce were right. Usually, after taking the test, everyone would go to the database to upgrade their skills with their points. The system is automatically separated and each enters its own data room.
But now, the library is in exam mode, and the elevator shaft has been completely blown up. The -1 floor database at this time must be different from what they usually see.
Ke Shaobin said earnestly: "Yes, the current -1st floor data room may also have a zigzag structure with four corridors!"
Yue Xingwen glanced at his teammates and said, "Everyone, be careful later. Let's go to the 1st floor first, and follow the stairs to the -1st floor to see if there is a mezzanine at the location of the stairs."
At this time, everyone was on the 10th floor, and Yue Xingwen once again started the "Fast Speed" team to accelerate. Everyone quickly climbed down the stairs and came to the first floor in a blink of an eye.
Everyone banged around in the stairwell for a while, but did not find the existence of the mezzanine, so they had to continue to the -1 floor.
In the process of going down, Zhang Xiaonian used a laser rangefinder to measure the height of the stairs, while reporting: "The total height of the stairs from the 1st floor to the -1st floor is 54 meters, which is the same as the database we usually see. The heights are the same.”
Jiang Pingce said: "At this height, it is indeed possible to build another floor." He raised his head and carefully observed the surrounding walls. The walls of the stairwell are all smooth cement walls, painted with white paint, which are consistent with other floors. Jiang Pingce said: "Xiao Nian, try to see if you can dig it out."
Zhang Xiaonian summoned the excavator and tried it in the middle of the 54-meter-high wall. As a result, the bucket of the excavator was directly broken by the wall.
Zhang Xiaonian said helplessly: "The building of the library building is very strong and cannot be destroyed by violence."
It can't be violently destroyed, and it can't be moved directly. It seems that you can only go to the database on the 01st floor to find out if there is an agency. Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other and walked side by side towards the door on the -1st floor.
Like the other floors, the -1 floor also has four doors in the east, west, south, and north directions. Which door should I enter? Everyone didn't know what to do. Yue Xingwen didn't want to waste time guessing here, so he randomly pointed to the north gate and said, "Enter this gate, everyone be careful."
Yue Xingwen took the initiative to take the lead, Jiang Pingce walked side by side with him, and the others followed closely behind them. 12 people quickly passed through the door and entered the database on the -1st floor. However, the scene in front of them made everyone freeze in place—
database!
This is the real library repository!
I saw row after row of solid wood bookshelves reaching the top, more than 5 meters, neatly arranged in the spacious corridor, each row of bookshelves were labeled with labels, such as social science, western philosophy, law, economics study and so on.
There are countless books on the shelves, densely packed, like a sea of books.
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other and looked at each other.
After a while, Yue Xingwen said: "This should be a collection of all the major books in the entire library, right? The length of the corridor is about 50 meters. This floor is probably also composed of four corridors?"
Jiang Pingce said, "Go and have a look."
Everyone quickly ran to the end of the corridor. It turned out to be a familiar 90-degree corner, followed by another very similar corridor. They continued to run forward. After passing through two consecutive corners, they returned to the starting point.
Like other floors, the -1 floor is also a "back"-shaped structure.
Ke Shaobin looked around suspiciously: "The bookshelves here are all directly on the roof, don't you see the mezzanine? If there is an agency, with so many books, how should the agency find it?"
Zhang Xiaonian also scratched his head in confusion: "I just measured it. The length of the corridor is 50 meters. The area of the four corridors is exactly the same as the other floors.
Just when everyone was wondering, suddenly, a familiar mechanical female voice sounded in their ears: "Welcome to the examination room in the library reference room. Next, it will be your graduation assessment time."
This voice obviously came from the skill instructor I saw in the control center just now.
Ke Shaobin hurriedly asked, "Graduation assessment? Will we graduate successfully if we pass it?"
Skill tutor: "No. You can only get a diploma after passing the graduation assessment. If you want to graduate successfully, you have to participate in the graduation defense and get a degree certificate."
Everyone: "..."
This library system is really perverted. There are exams for admission and exams for graduation
Yue Xingwen frowned and asked, "What are the test rules? Do you answer the questions like the entrance exam?" Remembering the entrance exam at that time, he drew a paper and the test was full of idioms.
The skill instructor said: "The exam begins."
As soon as the words fell, the bookshelf in front suddenly collapsed, and the densely packed books smashed towards them like bricks!
Yue Xingwen hurriedly opened the dictionary: "Jin Chan escapes!"
He teleported to the other side of the bookshelf with his teammates, and escaped the falling books in a thrilling manner, avoiding the tragedy of being overwhelmed by a large number of books.
However, before he could stand firm, the bookshelf in front began to tilt again—
Ke Shaobin's expression changed: "Damn it! The domino effect, the bookshelves in the four corridors will all collapse soon!"
Jiang Pingce said decisively: "Xiao Nian, build a wall!"
Zhang Xiaonian immediately raised his right hand, and in an instant, the reinforced concrete shockproof walls more than 5 meters high rose up around the 12 people, blocking the collapsed bookshelf abruptly!
Everyone stayed within the protection range of the earthquake-proof wall, only to hear the loud noises of "Boom" and "Crash" in their ears. The domino effect caused the bookshelves to collapse one after another, and all the books fell. Suddenly, books as thick as bricks Flying all over the place, the entire database is a mess.
Liu Zhaoqing smiled bitterly and said, "This time, we are really 'travelling in the sea of books'."
Xu Yishen was helpless: "There are books everywhere. Once the protective wall of Xiaonian is removed, we will be instantly submerged, right? So, the graduation exam of the database is to let us fight against tens of thousands of books?"
Liu Zhaoqing said: "It's better to let me dissect a corpse like the entrance exam."
After 3 minutes of shaking the mountain outside, it gradually became quiet. It seemed that all the bookshelves had collapsed. Yue Xingwen took a deep breath and said, "There is no way to hide, go out and have a look."
Jiang Pingce said, "I'll go up first."
He raised his right hand, quickly drew a coordinate system, used a formula to control himself to rise, came to a height of 5 meters, and looked out—
Seeing that the expression on Jiang Pingce's face was a little strange, Yue Xingwen hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Pingce looked down at Xingwen, and wrote another formula to make Yue Xingwen also fly up and hover beside him. Yue Xingwen followed Jiang Pingce's gaze and looked out, and his scalp suddenly became numb.
Seeing the ugly faces of the two of them, Ke Shaobin was nervous and curious, and hurriedly asked, "Xingwen, Pingce, what's going on outside?"
Yue Xingwen said: "It's the spirit of calligraphy."
Everyone was very puzzled: "Book Spirit?"
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "After these bookshelves collapsed, all the books seemed to have lost their restraints, and a lot of book spirits emerged from the books. For example, "Journey to the West" monsters, "Liao Zhai Zhi" The female ghosts in "Idiosyncratic"."
Everyone: "..."
What kind of terrifying scene is this? All the characters described in the book have become spiritual bodies, and the positive characters are easy to handle, but what about the villains
Liu Zhaoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "So, do we have to fight against thousands of book spirits?"
Jiang Pingce said: "Look at the floating frame."
Everyone looked up, and sure enough, there was a familiar floating box in the upper right corner, which contained a line of prompts—[Escape from the library for graduation exam, countdown to 01:00:00].
In an hour, he escaped from the data room.
Xu Yi sighed deeply: "With so many book spirits, how can the 12 of us be able to fight?"
Jiang Pingce and Yue Xingwen looked at each other, the latter seemed to have thought of something, and whispered a few words in Jiang Pingce's ear.
The next moment, Jiang Pingce simply nodded, looked back at everyone and said, "Xingwen thinks of a way to deal with Shuling, let's try it first. Everyone stay here and wait for our news."
Jiang Pingce grabbed Yue Xingwen's arm lightly with his left hand, and quickly wrote a formula with his right hand. In a blink of an eye, the two jumped out from the top of Zhang Xiaonian's wall and disappeared in front of everyone.
