"Melgan's Cube", "The Hundred Nights of Sodom", "Harold and the Dream Mirror".
The names of these three books can be found from the copied information, but the specific content and background are not introduced. Lu Ning asked Chen Qiguang, and he only knew that this was a relatively famous fairy tale series "Dream Mirror" and the most famous one. Representative, and also the first three books. When asked more, he could only say that he had not seen it.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because this is not a normal fairy tale in the first place. It's almost a dark fairy tale. I know that many people who like novels, fantasy and dark literature speak highly of these three books. And many works have been derived from it." Chen Qiguang said, "The authors who wrote these three books were all two or three hundred years ago and have long since passed away. I am not very interested in this thing, and I am still my previous girlfriend I understand a little bit after I like this.”
"Does anyone else know?" Zhou Weiyuan asked.
"Senior Teng is a cadre of the student union, Senior Sister Liushan is the top student in the School of Mechanical Engineering, and Uncle Zhen is not of our age. We are not very familiar with this kind of thing... right?" Chen Qiguang said uncertainly.
"But the library should have this kind of book." Lu Ning stood up.
"Yes, I went to the library with my girlfriend to borrow these books before, but I don't know if they can still be seen in libraries in this world."
As they were talking, footsteps were heard from the stairs. Teng Zijian and the other three came back first. No one had a very good look on their face, and it was obvious that they had not gained much.
"Senior, what's wrong?" Chen Qiguang asked quickly.
"The monsters here... are very poor." Teng Zijian shook the leather bag on his waist twice, and the clear jingling sound showed that there were not many coins in it. Those who were pretending to be dead started to make some movement at this moment, and they all showed worried expressions.
"The good news is that the monsters here have obvious weaknesses and will be destroyed naturally as long as they enter the shadows." Liu Shan leaned against the wall, looking a little tired.
"Where's the Lantern Knight?"
"They are different, so the difficulty is also different." Uncle Zhen sat in the corner and chuckled, "I wonder what the young man and the girls have discovered?"
"Some gains, but not much." Lu Ning replied, "Uncle Zhen is the oldest here, right? Do you know the dream mirror story?"
"What?"
Judging from this reaction, I have probably never heard of it, but it is also expected.
"You can go to the library, which contains the works of this series." Liu Shan said.
"We have this plan." Lu Ning nodded, "Since you said that, you probably know something about this?"
"The monsters here all come from those three books. We have known this for a long time." Teng Zijian said, "I used to have a teammate who was very familiar with this series of stories. He quickly identified the origin of the monsters here. And it helped me get through those first tough times.”
"There was an accident?"
"Yes, these monsters do not completely reproduce the conditions described in the story, or the description of the story itself is one-sided. He saved several people because he was familiar with those stories, and died because of this empiricism."
Teng Zijian took out an energy bar and took a bite. Apparently remembering some unpleasant past events, he stopped talking. Ning Yeyi took out the school map and took a sneak peek at the location of the library.
E7, which is the number of the library, is located in the center of the entire campus, on the sixth floor, and nothing else is clear.
"Everyone is back."
Ning Yeyi and Lu Ning were discussing quietly, and Yan Rong and the others had also returned. These four people didn't gain much. They exchanged glances with Teng Zijian and others and immediately understood each other.
"Obviously, if you want to gain anything here, you have to deal with enemies like the Lantern Knights." Qin Yulou shrugged, "This is not a good thing."
"We, businessmen, wouldn't be able to save much this time. The worst we can do is wait for about ten hours before continuing in another world." Teng Zijian shook his head, his expression a little dejected.
"Yan Rong, let's discuss something." Lu Ning beckoned Yan Rong and others over, and whispered about his findings and plans to go to the library to find those books. After mentioning this, Yan Rong immediately looked at Rong Han.
"I actually found some things upstairs." Rong Han took out a small tablet, six or seven memory cards, and a charger that supports hand cranking from the bag where everyone packed things.
Ning Yeyi's eyes lit up when he saw the charger, but then he realized that the charger was also specially designed for tablets and could not charge a laptop.
"Now that you have found some information, this is for reference first. We need to recharge the tablet and then see what is in the memory card. The light outside is already very dark, and now we will be less affected when we go out. A lot." Yan Rong seemed always full of action and was immediately ready to take the next step.
"Then we two plus you, and then..." Lu Ning looked around and saw that a certain amount of force must be left on guard here, and the charging must be rotated. As if aware of her intention, Zhou Weiyuan walked out directly and grinned: "It's easier to do things with acquaintances, and a lazy person like me doesn't have the strength to shake that thing for a long time."
"Let's unpack the parcel and prepare what we need to pack back. Teng Zijian and the others are fairly trustworthy, but it's just him, Liu Shan, and Uncle Zhen. You'd better stay away from those people." Ning Yeyi warned in a low voice.
After a little preparation, the four people who regrouped walked towards the door, still covering their eyes first. Yan Rong slightly moved the cloth blocking his eyes, felt it, and said: "It's okay, I still feel a little uncomfortable. But we’ll definitely be fine if we run over.”
At this time, there were only four black stars left in the sky, two of which were getting smaller and smaller. Their influence could be ignored compared to the main two. The two main stars gave people the impression that they were no more than the size of the sun at sunrise. Since the light was emitted by flames and was not strong in itself, the surroundings had turned into rust-colored darkness.
Lu Ning rushed out as fast as she could. Yan Rong was undoubtedly the fastest. Ning Yeyi was not slow either, following Yan Rong. Lu Ning's athletic ability was not good enough to compete with them. It was almost the same, but Zhou Weiyuan was even worse. He was out of breath and barely managed to stay behind.
Because the light was fading and there were not many monsters on the road, Lu Ning didn't know where the monsters could hide at this time. After his thoughts were distracted for a moment, the library was already close at hand. Originally, the distance between D1 and the library was not very far.
As soon as they entered the door of the library, the first reaction of the four people was to take out their weapons.
It's not because there are any enemies, but the way the library looks now is really weird.
The general structure of the library of Avionics University is a circular hall from the main entrance, with library rooms on the left and right, opposite the elevator, and the reading hall and small reading room at the rear on both sides. No matter how luxurious the decoration here was originally, you can't see much of it in this kind of world.
But now, on the road leading to the library on the left, there is a row of white candles burning neatly. They are normal candles and normal flames, but in the dark environment, they seem to form a strange road to the underworld.
Looking away from the first sight, Lu Ning saw the debris all over the ground.
They were the remains left behind by the death of monsters that had no access to light, covering the entire hall. Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi turned on their headlights and shined a light on them, and immediately understood why these monsters gathered in such a dark place.
The straight line formed by the row of white candles points to the entrance of the passage on the right, where a pair of armors are scattered.
The four people still remember the style of the armor. The dark blue shape and the black hole spiraling into the heart. This appearance that once gave everyone great pressure is now just piled there like a pile of rags. There should be darkness inside. Gone were the body and the flames, the threatening flaming sword and energy shield.
"The Lantern Knight...is dead?" Lu Ning was a little surprised. She walked closer and found that the black hole in her heart was no longer rotating, and the armor showed no signs of movement. If she looked carefully, she could see the black hole. The center had been broken open, leaving a small opening.
"This must not be the work of some monster, right? Although the Lantern Knight is a low-level soldier, there is light on his body." Zhou Weiyuan said.
"It is precisely because it died and the light disappeared that all the monsters here died. But... attacking and killing so many monsters..." Ning Yeyi looked a little unbelievable. She looked at Yan Rong, who also Shaked his head.
"If I know the weakness and the weapon is handy, I'm about 50% sure to rush in and kill it, but that's only the most ideal situation."
At this moment, everyone heard a faint singing sound.
It was just humming, and it seemed to be an unknown tune. The melody was full of the joy of victory and harvest, but it felt a little creepy in such a quiet environment. Lu Ning immediately returned to the team, and Yan Rong raised his gun and was the first to walk into the library where the white candle extended.
Because they did not cover up the sound of footsteps, the singing stopped when the four people approached.
Candles were spread to the left and right of the huge library, lighting up the bookshelf in the front row like a grand ceremony. In the aisle between the two huge bookshelves, stood a young woman.
She was wearing a brown leather jacket, blue jeans, spiked leather boots, and a wide-brim women's hat. She held a cane with a black tip wrapped with silver-tipped metal in her right hand, and a black-covered book in her left hand. . Her appearance was so beautiful that Lu Ning couldn't even tell her age from her face. The woman had a polite smile on her face, but her eyes were slightly scary.
"It's not a monster."
The woman spoke. Unlike her stunning appearance, her voice was a little hoarse, a more neutral contralto, but her tone was not hostile.
"Who are you?" Yan Rong asked.
"I recognize you, Yan Rong. I have heard about your abilities. You are the top one among the martial arts tourists." The woman laughed. Although she was not rude, it always made Lu Ning feel that there was something strange about her. weird.
After laughing, she raised her right hand and tapped her chest with the handle of the cane as a courtesy: "My name is Shang Wenxue. I don't think you know my name. I belong to the 'Pterodactyl' and where you are." 'Fire Mane' is not part of the same battle sequence."
Pterosaur?
Lu Ning glanced at Yan Rong. There were nine Rosicrucian legions in total, with three battle sequences. Firemane and the 'Sea Serpent' she was in were within the same battle sequence, which meant that there was a high probability that there would be coordinated missions. Distribution, of course, this is only for groups, she has never received this type of task for individuals.
The Pterodactyl was one of the three more suitable legions that Li Mingdeng had mentioned when she asked about joining. If she remembered correctly, the people of the Pterodactyl should be decapitation infiltrators who could fully adapt to various environments.
"You are wrong, I know you." Yan Rong poked the gun to his side and returned the smile, "The hunting mission was completed in four hours in one day, the hunting scene was completed in sixteen hours in two days, and all ten members of the team survived. This way If I haven’t heard of the remarkable achievements, then don’t get involved with Firemane’s group of fighting madmen.”
"It's just an occasional success. I'm ashamed to be heard by you all." Shang Wenxue covered her mouth and chuckled. Lu Ning noticed that she even wore leather gloves on her hands. This outfit was obviously not the initial outfit when she entered the scene.
"Don't be too modest if you have strength. Although we are not in the same battle sequence, we might as well cooperate if we meet in the scene. Did you light the candles outside?" Yan Rong asked.
This directness and forced change of topic made Zhou Weiyuan behind him raise his eyebrows. Fortunately, the other party was not a complete stranger, otherwise he might not be able to hold back and take over the diplomatic work again.
Shang Wenxue was obviously stunned for a moment by Yan Rong's way of starting a new topic. Then he nodded and said, "Because it's very dark here, so I lit some candles. These are sold by merchants. It'll be fine." .”
Lighted "some" candles?
Lu Ning looked around and saw that the number of these white candles was close to a hundred at least. Not to mention how she brought them with her, the money alone was not a small amount.
But no one would talk about it. After all, the money belonged to Shang Wenxue, and she didn't have to ask others how she wanted to spend it. Lu Ning's eyes soon fell on the book in her hand, which was the main purpose of her coming to the library.
"Melgan's Cube".
"It seems that you have also found something? That's great. This way the search speed can be faster." Seeing Lu Ning and others' eyes quickly falling on the book, Shang Wenxue said happily, but her tone It was a bit too high, so much so that Lu Ning and others felt a weird sense of suppressed excitement.
"Are you feeling well?"
Zhou Weiyuan didn't stop anyone, allowing Yan Rong to ask this question directly.
"Thanks for worrying, there's nothing wrong with me."
Shang Wenxue still responded with a smile.
Despite this, everyone still looked doubtful.
