Knowing that "Twelve Movements of the Evening" was in the library, Tianyang didn't want to delay any longer. Although it was already noon, he didn't even have time to eat lunch. He left the apartment in a hurry and headed straight for the library in the upper city of the fortress.
The Great Library is located in the upper city of the fortress. It contains a variety of books from the Reverse World. The collection is rich, thanks to decades of exploration of the Reverse World.
Arriving at the library, Tianyang went straight to the administration office and found the librarian.
The librarian was a woman in her late 40s, wearing the library's dark blue uniform, with her hair neatly tied up on her head. She wore a pair of glasses and had her lips tightly pursed, and she looked like a serious person.
Tian Yang asked politely, "Hello, I would like to ask if there is a copy of the sheet music of Twelve Movements of Dusk in the library."
The administrator looked up at him and said, "Name."
The boy was stunned: "What's the name?"
The administrator's mouth sank: "Of course it's your name, could it be mine?"
Tianyang quickly reported his name. After the administrator entered it, he quickly said, "You don't have a library card. According to the regulations, I don't need to answer your question."
Tian Yang asked in a pleading tone: "I am a night walker. Can you please make an exception? I have something urgent to do."
The administrator said slowly, "Even if the city lord comes and doesn't have a library card, I will still say the same thing. Everything must be done according to the rules. If everyone comes to ask me for concessions, how can I work?"
Tian Yang said helplessly: "Then I'll apply for a library card."
The administrator nodded surprisingly and began typing on an electronic board: "Name."
Tian Yang was startled: "Didn't I say that just now?"
The administrator said unhappily, "How do I know who you want to apply for a library card for? Do you still want to apply for one? If you do, answer my question now!"
"Okay, okay, Tianyang, my name is Tianyang."
"gender?"
"Do I look like a woman?"
"post?"
"night Stalker."
"address?"
"Room 402, Qingyun Apartment, 7th Avenue, Upper Town Second District."
... ...
After entering the information, the administrator looked up and said, "You can go back."
Tianyang spread his hands and said, "I don't think I have received the library card yet."
The administrator said in a tone that never changes: "According to the regulations, I have applied for you. The result will be available within five working days. If your application is approved, the library card will be sent directly to the address you filled in."
Tian Yang exclaimed: "Five working days?"
The administrator had lowered his head and no longer answered any questions from the boy.
Tianyang walked out of the library in a depressed mood. His stomach was rumbling, so he had to find a restaurant nearby and have lunch.
In the evening, he drove the electromagnetic locomotive to the medical center. It was almost dusk, and the setting sun was about to jump into the west of the sea. In this rare good weather, the Sky Fortress unfolded its circular dome, allowing people in the upper city to see the beautiful scenery of the vast red clouds.
Tianyang's figure riding on the motorcycle was stretched out by the light, and his silver-gray hair was dyed with a layer of golden yellow.
He sent a text message to Xun, telling the girl that he was waiting outside the gate. Xun replied quickly and appeared at the gate five minutes later.
Seeing Tianyang, she hurried over.
Xun, who had changed out of the white uniform of the medical center and put back into her own clothes, looked so gentle in the sunset.
Unknown
I wonder if it’s because of the Glorious Class, but nowadays, every move of girls carries a hint of holiness.
"You really came."
Looking at the boy on the motorcycle, Xun smiled somewhat implicitly.
Tianyang smiled faintly and said, "Of course it's true, get in the car."
"Um."
The unicycle has only one seat, but of course, it is possible to squeeze another person into this seat.
In that case, the two of them will inevitably be close to each other.
As if she had foreseen this, the girl's face was red when she got on the bus. I don't know if it was because of the setting sun or...
"Tianyang!"
A crisp voice rang out.
Tianyang looked over and saw Xiaoniao walking out of the gate of the medical center. Today, Xiaoniao was not wearing the Night Walker uniform, but the wide-sleeved long dress that was popular among girls in the Fortress recently.
She was about to run over, but when she saw Xun in the car, Xiaoniao was stunned for a moment and then slowed down.
As for the girl sitting on the motorcycle, she subconsciously grabbed the corner of Tianyang's clothes and held it tightly.
The atmosphere became a little depressing.
Tian Yang felt that something was wrong between the two girls. He coughed dryly and broke the silence: "Why are you here?"
Xiaoniao suddenly looked a little flustered, and then said: "I, I'm here to see a friend. Are you... are you going on a date?"
Tianyang couldn't help but cough violently.
He finally stopped coughing, shook his head and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about, I..."
"right!"
Xun, who was sitting in the back, suddenly said, "We are going to have dinner together, and then take a walk along the seaside promenade in the outer ring area. Miss Xiaoniao, do you want to come with us?"
Tianyang looked back at Xun in surprise, but saw that the girl had a rare firm expression, and the hand that was pinching the boy's clothes had relaxed a little.
The bird blinked, looked back and forth at the two in disbelief, and then said, "No, that's not necessary. I won't bother you two anymore. Let's have a meal together some other time when we are free."
"Okay, let's go first." Xun leaned forward slightly, leaned on Tianyang's back, and whispered, "Let's go."
Tianyang could only shrug at Xiaoniao: "Then we'll go first, bye."
"goodbye."
After watching the unicycle leave, Xiaoniao turned around and waved to the figure above.
That person was actually Yan Bing!
As the motorcycle drove along the highway in the upper city, Xun felt her heart almost jump out of her throat. Although she looked calm just now, in fact, the girl was extremely nervous.
"Um...are we really going to eat out?"
The wind blew Tianyang's silver hair, and he asked carefully.
Xun bit her pink lips lightly and hummed, "I suddenly want to go out for dinner, you don't mind, do you?"
Tian Yang laughed heartily: "Of course not, I was thinking that I should find a chance to invite you and Xiao Jie out for dinner. After all, you treated me to two dinners, and I haven't reciprocated you yet, I feel embarrassed."
"In that case, let's go back and call Xiaojie?"
Xun said quickly, "No need, I'll just tell him later. It's okay for him to eat food from a custom-made machine anyway."
"I see. Well, okay. I happen to know of a restaurant that serves good food, but it's downtown..."
Xun blinked and said, "Go ahead. I haven't been back to the downtown area for a long time."
Tianyang nodded:
"Then eat as much as you want later, it's my treat!"
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, the boy woke up on time, opened the window, and took a deep breath of the fresh morning air.
He touched his belly and laughed.
He and Xun ate a lot last night. Of course, he was the one who ate most of the food, while Xun basically just tasted a little.
As a result, after a night, he didn't feel hungry and simply skipped breakfast.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Tianyang planned to go to the hospital to see Liu Jinglin. Just as he was about to leave, he received a text message from Xun.
Tianyang thought the girl asked him to pick her up, but when he opened the communicator, the text on it shocked him.
Xun’s message was simple: Liu Jinglin passed away!
But this news was like a bolt from the blue for Tianyang!
He hurried out and rushed to the medical center, but when he arrived at the ward, the room was already empty.
"Tianyang."
Xun came from the other side of the passage. The girl was holding an electronic board in her hand with a heavy expression on her face.
Tianyang hurried over and whispered, "What's going on?"
Xun shook his head and led the boy to a deserted corner: "I don't know either. I only found out when I came to the medical center this morning."
"I asked a few doctors, and they said that his condition suddenly worsened last night, and he died at dawn. The patient's body has now been taken care of by his family, and he should be buried in the next few days."
Tian Yang frowned and said, "How could this happen? Teacher Liu woke up yesterday. Hasn't he passed the critical period?"
Xun sighed, "That's true in theory, but the human body is a sophisticated machine. Sometimes, a trivial problem can cause the entire machine to break down."
"Besides, the patient was seriously injured before. Even if he wakes up, it is possible that his condition will suddenly deteriorate. However, because of that incident, Tiebi will probably investigate what happened in the ward yesterday."
Tianyang suddenly realized that it seemed that Luo Shan had already told the trustworthy people about what she had discovered, so Tiebi took action.
Xun looked at him worriedly: "You have to be careful. Liu Jinglin only saw you yesterday. If anyone among those people is hostile to him, they might target you too."
Tianyang is now certain that Liu Jinglin's "suicide" is probably related to Su Lie's matter. Otherwise, Liu Jinglin would not have written this name in the reverse world language on his palm yesterday.
The young man was in a low mood. He was thinking whether Liu Jinglin had been implicated because of his investigation into Su Lie.
If this was the case, he really didn't know how to face the lecturer's family. At the same time, the boy was furious. The mastermind behind the scenes even involved Liu Jinglin. How hateful!
Three days later, Lao Xu informed him that Liu Jinglin's funeral would be held today.
After receiving the news, Tianyang immediately rushed to the Fortress Cemetery and bought a bouquet of flowers on the way.
The cemetery is still as quiet and solemn as ever.
From a distance, I saw a group of people. They should be the people who came to attend Liu Jinglin's funeral.
Thinking about it now, perhaps when Liu Jinglin met this lecturer in the cemetery, the person he came to visit was his own mother
Could it be that he was once Su Lie's friend
With many questions in mind, Tianyang came to Liu Jinglin's grave. After greeting Lao Xu, he went forward with him to lay flowers.
Liu Jinglin's wife had a sad face, which made Tianyang feel uncomfortable. The young man secretly vowed to get to the bottom of this matter!
