Library, twelfth floor, librarian's office, dark.
A boxy white screen is the only source of light in the room.
"Hey! Have you discovered it? However, even if you discover the specialness of 'it', what's the use? The principal will not let you rookies come into contact with the 'axis' prematurely." A high-backed boss chair swiveled Turning around, a slender leg swayed playfully in the air, and then suddenly lifted up and rested on the black wooden desk, crossing its legs in a very chic way, "But, unexpectedly you can find the specialness of 'it' It is enough to prove your potential. Well, five people have sensed it, which is not bad. Only me, Xiao Ming, and that smelly monkey sensed it back then. However, induction is induction, but what can you do? How much you understand depends on your own understanding."
"Ah! It's so boring. How about a little surprise for you? Principal, do you have any objection?"
"No? Okay, okay. It's really boring. I said principal, what do you mean by keeping me here? Don't you know it's really boring to stay in this school? You really want to suffocate me, don't you. Beat me. Let’s discuss it, let me ‘go out’ for a walk? Can I promise to come back on time?”
"Okay! You're cruel! Do you want to suffocate me to death? I won't let you succeed. Hehe, I'll go find the 'toy' myself... quack..."
…
"Warning: Students of the special class Yin Kuang, Li Shuangmu, Bei Dao, Wang Ning, and Tan Shengge, the five of you are approaching the warning area. Please leave quickly, otherwise you will be severely punished!"
"Warning: Students of the special class Yin Kuang, Li Shuangmu, Bei Dao, Wang Ning, and Tan Shengge, the five of you are approaching the warning area. Please leave quickly, otherwise you will be severely punished!"
Two consecutive warnings were issued, which showed the principal's anger.
Yin, Li, Bei, Wang, and Tan quickly stopped, then looked at each other indifferently, and then backed away from the white pillar in the center of the hall. The other students who were busy searching various bookshelves paused again, looking here and there in surprise, and finally unconsciously glanced at the white pillar.
Obviously, combined with the previous warning from the principal, it is not difficult to understand that this white pillar is the "stairs" leading to the second floor of the library.
"What are you doing standing still?" Zhu Tong suddenly yelled fiercely. Some boys and girls in Class 1236 took action again. The other group of people, including the boy in Tsing Yi, continued what they had just done after receiving the instructions from the boy in Tsing Yi. It’s obvious that Class 1236 is not a monolith.
Class 1207, on the other hand, was relatively more disciplined. Tan Shengge waved and everyone became busy again.
Yin Kuang ignored them, but looked at Li Shuangmu and said, "Did you find anything?"
"It's very strange," Li Shuangmu touched his chin, his bright eyes roamed up and down the white pillar, and said, "Have you noticed that all the arrangements here are centered on that pillar."
"Yeah. And it's in the very center."
"Not bad. In addition, it gives me the feeling that everything here is supported by this pillar. Also," Li Shuangmu pointed up at the equilateral triangle pattern on the ceiling and said, "This huge figure is also Very weird. I can’t say what it is.”
Yin Kuang raised his head and stared at the equilateral triangle pattern on the top, and said, "It seems like... By the way, have you ever played with a drill?"
"Drill? I've never heard of it."
Yin Kuang laughed dryly and said: "It is a tool used by carpenters to drill holes. Wrap two ropes around the drill shaft, and then move another cane connected to the rope. Pulling the cane back and forth can make the rope rotate. This causes the drill spindle to rotate, and then the hole can be made. I have used this tool before. This post, and the three ropes wrapped around the post, are very similar to a drill. Of course, the drill consists of two ropes Drive, and here are three.”
"Then what?"
"Then I was wondering, is this totem pole telling us that the entire white pillar is provided by the three entangled ropes that provide some kind of power to make the pillar rotate. Although to our naked eyes, the pillar appears to be stationary. , but if you follow the three bodies with your eyes, you will find that this pillar is slowly rotating... "
After hearing this, Li Shuangmu quickly looked at the three protruding and entwined rope-like lines on the white pillar. After looking at it quietly for a while, he said, "Sure enough, the pillar is shaking. It's like... a... Bearings?”
"I think so too. Or I can boldly guess that it is this shaft that supports the entire library. That's why the principal strictly prohibits us from approaching it."
"But..." Li Shuangmu looked around and said, "And if according to what you said, it is the pillar supporting the entire library, but this library is obviously slanted, but..."
Yin Kuang shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. Or, we have entered another space, just like our dormitory. Or, we are already standing on an inclined plane, just because everything around us is inclined. , so we thought we were standing on level ground. What do you think?"
"That makes sense."
"Also, what I can't figure out is that since this pillar may be a pillar supporting the library, why does the principal use it as a passage to the second floor? Don't you think this is very weird?"
Li Shuangmu frowned, then relaxed and said, "It's better not to think about these problems. Don't forget that we only have less than an hour." After hearing this, Yin Kuang said, "That's right. By the way, you What book did you find?"
Li Shuangmu held up a bamboo slip that looked quite ancient and said: ""Qionghua Sect Sword Forging Technique"! I want to see if there is any way to remove the rust of the sword. You should also go and have a look, maybe you can find some awakening skills. What about Dragon Soul’s method?”
Yin Kuang smiled "haha", nodded, looked at the white pillar that was as thick as two people's arms, and then plunged into the rows of bookshelves.
A few minutes later, Yin Kuang pushed a cart of various information carriers to the reading area where 1237 gathered. At this time, Li Shuangmu, Tang Rouyu, Qian Qianqian, Bai Lu and others were already immersed in reading, looking like they were studying hard and hungry.
Seeing Yin Kuang coming over, Tang Rouyu said: "Yin Kuang, take a look at this. It may be helpful to you." After saying that, Tang Rouyu picked up a piece of tortoise shell, put it gently on Yin Kuang's trolley, and said: " This is a record about the dragon soul. But it uses hieroglyphics. Can you understand it?" Yin Kuang said: "Yes. I have already prepared. I spent a lot of learning points to exchange for various language and writing abilities. Mastery of hieroglyphs is one of them. Thank you, Miss Tang."
"Why are you so polite?" Tang Rouyu smiled, then lowered her head again, put her hand on her forehead, frowned slightly, her slender jade fingers moved gently on a roll of bamboo slips, her red lips pursed, as if she was talking, but also seemed to be thinking. What are you wearing
When Yin Kuang saw it, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He suddenly felt that Tang Rouyu at this moment had a certain temperament that was very attractive to him. He couldn't put it into words or describe it, but it happened to be this scene of a beautiful woman lowering her head and carefully studying the book. , but made Yin Kuang a little distracted. As if aware of Yin Kuang's gaze, Tang Rouyu suddenly raised her head, met Yin Kuang's gaze, was stunned, and said, "Is there anything else?"
Yin Kuang instinctively wanted to dodge at first, but suddenly thought of something, his slightly trembling eyes froze again, and he looked at Tang Rouyu without hesitation and said: "It's nothing. It's just that I think... the way you were reading just now , pretty good-looking." After saying that, Yin Kuang felt relaxed, and even his somewhat stiff smile became softer and more natural.
"Ah?" When Tang Rouyu heard this, she said softly, but her eyes averted a little, and a slight blush climbed onto her cheeks. But after all, it was Tang Rouyu who calmed down after a slight loss of composure, smiled charmingly, nodded and said, "Really? Thank you."
"Haha." Yin Kuang smiled and pushed the trolley past Tang Rouyu. After passing Tang Rouyu, Yin Kuang took a breath and whispered softly, "It feels good..." The voice was so soft that even Yin Kuang himself didn't hear it clearly.
After Yin Kuang walked over, Tang Rouyu, who had lowered her head, raised her head, looked at Yin Kuang, and couldn't help biting her delicate lower lip, "This guy..." The voice was also very low, and she could barely hear it clearly. He groaned and lowered his head again to think.
After sitting down, Yin Kuang gently took down the information carriers one by one from the trolley and placed them on the table. From left to right, there are the tortoise shell that Tang Rouyu gave to him, an ancient bamboo slip, a brocade silk with exquisite patterns, an ancient book bound with yellow thread, a thick leather notebook, and a PAD that looks like crystal clear glass. There were only a few items, and Yin Kuang didn’t take more. He knows very well that in such a short period of time, if you are greedy for too much, you will get nothing in the end.
Yin Kuang first picked up the tortoise shell that Tang Rouyu handed him and rubbed it gently. He felt that there was even lingering fragrance and warmth on it, and he couldn't help but feel a little distraught. However, he soon came back to his senses, secretly scolded himself, and stared at the tortoise shell intently. text above.
However, he gradually frowned, and his face showed horror:
"Slay... dragon... extract... soul!?"
