Even though Shang Wenxue has quirks that everyone can detect, no one can be too wary of this person who maintains a polite and friendly attitude. After she briefly explained the arrangement of the library, Lu Ning, Ning Yeyi and Zhou Weiyuan quickly understood how to find books, and then started searching quickly.
At this time, Yan Rong was much slower. After all, this was not her specialty. When everyone was looking for a bookshelf, she might still be matching book titles one by one in a certain row.
"Yan Rong, you are actually quite slow like that." Zhou Weiyuan said.
"Stop talking nonsense! You are so careless and careless about missing important books!"
"Why……"
Although the three books are collectively called the Dream Series, this is a naming given by posterity. According to Shang Wenxue, the contents of the three books are not exactly the same. "Melgan's Cube" is a travelogue, full of absurd and bizarre fantasy stories, and each article is like a novella. "Fairy Tales of the Hundred Nights of Sodom" is a collection of short stories. It does not use a whole article to describe a world like Melgan, but each small story vaguely alludes to the world view behind it. As for "Harold and the Dream Mirror", it was written earlier than these two books. It is an adventure story that depicts adventures and explorations in various worlds from the perspective of the protagonist Harold. The series is called "The Dream Mirror". "Hence the name, but this book is also recognized as the one that has received the most artistic processing, and its settings are somewhat different from the other two.
The most amazing thing about this series is that the three creators don't even know each other.
The earliest "Harold and the Dream Mirror" was only two years earlier than the latest "Melgan's Cube". Due to the difficulty of communication at that time, it was difficult for this book to be circulated to Melgan's country. The styles and contents of the two books are also completely different. Together with "The Fairy Tale of the Hundred Nights of Sodom", the three books tell stories under the same world system. It was not until the three authors were in their later years that readers discovered that they were still the same. Someone contacted them out of curiosity.
Harold, who was over ninety and no longer capable of conducting interviews, gave brief answers.
“I had a long dream and then I wrote about it.”
Surprisingly, Melgan and Sodom gave similar answers.
"For a period of time, I was always having continuous dreams, as if I was seeing myself in another world. I thought it was very interesting, so I wrote it while I still remembered it. Later, I accumulated a book .”
"Some of the dreams you have had cannot be remembered clearly, but some are very impressive. I told the children stories about the most impressive ones. In fact... they quite liked them."
This magical commonality has led some followers to believe that the three people were inspired by something at the same time. Some of the more fanatical people even say things like "Those worlds are real, they are just pens through which those worlds show us their existence."
With the development of science and technology, more and more people are creating creations, whether real or fake. So far, there have been more than a thousand derivative works of "Dream Mirror" that are somewhat famous, and there are countless various creations. . Harold, Melgan and Sodom naturally became the originators of this series.
——"Dream Mirror Trace"
Lu Ning gently turned the pages of the book. In this harsh environment, the paper of the book has become very fragile and will break if you are not careful. But she was still able to read this book of research and interviews by candlelight. It's not too long. Lu Ning found it in the theology category. He doesn't know why it was classified in this way.
Those three books had been found a long time ago, and everyone soon discovered that finding clues to the fundamental issues of this scene was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Not to mention Sodom's short story collection, which totals 121, Melgan describes a total of 17 worlds. Harold's book is even thicker, and I don't even have time to read it all. How many worlds.
Typical information overload.
Ning Yeyi is currently reading the part about the world of lights in Melgan's book, while Shang Wenxue is quickly checking out the relevant parts of Sodom's story. Zhou Weiyuan stared at Harold's book with a bored expression for a long time without turning a page, making people wonder if he had wandered off somewhere long ago.
In addition to these three books, everyone also found a lot of related things, really "a lot".
It's not hard-to-find information at all, but a large amount of information that is mixed with whether it's true or false. It's so large that just a few people can't finish it.
"These things alone are not enough." Lu Ning carefully closed the page and sighed, "We need to find the director, or the relevant general person in charge, and understand the scope of the LR plan, otherwise these will only be Become a distraction to us.”
"Indeed." Ning Yeyi knocked his head, "The description of the world of lights in "Melgan's Cube" is very close to the current situation. The Legion of Lights controls the light, and other monsters are eager to become part of the Legion of Lights. Member. But the world of lights in this book is very large, far more than just a campus."
"Ah, speaking of this..." Shang Wenxue immediately spoke after hearing this. His voice was slightly higher, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, "Have you tried to see the border?"
She made some awkward gestures with her hands, and then said with a smile: "I took a look and found that the land outside the school is covered with that kind of dark black material, and the scenery outside looks like It looks like it's burning, and just getting close will give you a burning sensation."
"It's not surprising, every world is closed." Yan Rong said.
"But in my last world, there was a normal outside world." Shang Wenxue spread his hands.
"What?" Lu Ning and others immediately cheered up.
"It sounds like we didn't come from the same world." Ning Yeyi smiled faintly, "Can you tell me what your last world was like?"
"It's a dry and windy world." Shang Wenxue immediately began to tell. "The strong wind in that world can even make you feel like you are flying. But excluding that, you can clearly see the city outside the campus. Although those The buildings are also in the same shabby condition."
"tattered?"
"It's weathered. Most of the buildings look like dangerous buildings. Windows and other things have long been broken. Occasionally, light objects may be blown up by the wind. If they are hit, they may be injured."
"Then have you tried to go out and take a look?" Zhou Weiyuan asked.
"No, the campus is guarded by a group of birdmen." Shang Wenxue said this with a look of hatred on his face, "Those guys are sitting on the top floor of the building. Things from outside can come in, but things from inside If you try to get out, you will be shot by a high-density beam of light."
"Guardian Angel of the Weathered World?" Ning Yeyi opened another chapter of the book in his hand and read out a passage in it:
[Angels should return to heaven, but why do you stay here?
I asked this question, but the angel did not respond.
Angels always stand at the top and rarely respond to what happens on the ground. I was lucky enough to see an angel flying once, riding the wind with its broken wings, turning everything in an area into light as divine punishment.
Then, I understood that they could not be launched into the air.
Broken wings can only support one glide. Once they leave that high place, it will be difficult to return. This is the destination of angels.
But if this happens, the number of angels will continue to decrease, right?
This idea is also wrong, after all, how did the original angels appear? I didn't know it at the time.
"Guardian angels come from the Kingdom of God."
The mysterious traveler said this, then wrapped his clothes tightly and walked away in the strong wind, as if he had revealed some terrible secret.
But where should the Kingdom of God be located? 】
"There are a lot of those birdmen." Shang Wenxue shook his head, "And there is no need to launch a suicide attack. They occupy the commanding heights, and the attacks launched from above are enough to destroy those who try to cross the border. They don't even need to go down personally. .”
"But if there are a large number...are they really the highest combat power in that world?" Lu Ning asked this sentence.
"What should I say?" Shang Wenxue gave her a strange look.
"We already know that the Legion of Light controls light in this world, and the leader of this legion is the Lamp Holder. The strongest one in the Rainstorm World should be the Rain Master. It is obvious that there is a real ruler in these worlds, right?"
"Yes." Ning Yeyi said, turning back a few pages.
Priests are always wrapped in large robes, and even their faces are tightly wrapped. It is always whispering incantations that people cannot understand, and it seems that it will not stop until the end of the world. Those who try to attack the priest will be attacked by angels first. Such a situation is naturally suspicious, but the priest will not respond to anything happening outside.
"Tsk." Shang Wenxue smacked his lips, "It's a pity that I didn't see it..."
"Not to mention that, what we have now are not enough, right? Do we need to go somewhere else? It can be said that the world is safer at night, so it should be a good time to act." Yan Rong said.
"Well, I think we should take this opportunity to check out the three locations mentioned in the mission." Lu Ning expressed his thoughts, "Since it is necessary to go to investigate, it means that clues must be obtained there, and no matter where All over the world.”
"Then I propose to go to A1." Zhou Weiyuan said, "We can just go back and talk to them, and then we can get there by walking around a park area. It probably won't take twenty minutes."
"If you want to go there..." Shang Wenxue hesitated and looked at everyone, "Be prepared for battle."
"What? There are powerful monsters there?"
"There are tourists there."
Shang Wenxue's expression seemed to be giving advice, but there was a hint of eagerness in his tone.
"I heard some tourists talking, so there must have been a lot of tourists there. I don't know if there are monsters, but the mixed crowd of tourists will definitely be a big fight."
"Did I hear you right? You seem to be looking forward to it?" Yan Rong raised his eyebrows.
"Don't you look forward to it?" Shang Wenxue asked her.
Yan Rong looked at her and then at the others.
"Of course I wouldn't worry if I was the only one, but if it's a team operation, I don't want everyone to be in danger."
"Ah, ah, ah, you are truly worthy of being a fire-maned person, admirable." Shang Wenxue said in an exaggerated tone, "Then it seems that I am not suitable to act with you."
"Are you sure you weren't affected by this scene?" Yan Rong asked in a deep voice.
"How could it be? It might be a little more troublesome at dusk, but the situation outside now is as pleasant as going out to admire the moon! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, am I too rude? Please don't mind it, that's how I am after all People...that's why they are not suitable to act together with you." Shang Wenxue bowed slightly to everyone, "The brief moment of joining hands with you is also a beautiful thing in life. I hope we can have more topics to talk about next time we meet, sorry. I took the first step."
After that, she put on her hat, picked up her cane and walked out.
After a moment of silence, Lu Ning spoke: "Yan Rong, what happened to her?"
"I don't know. After all, I haven't really met her. But from what I heard from some friends who have experienced scenes with her, this person is difficult to communicate with but very reliable. I thought she had a boring personality, but I didn't expect it. ...I can only say that it is better to meet in person than to be famous.”
"Allow me to ask a question that may be a bit stupid..." Zhou Weiyuan raised his arm, "Compared between you and her, who would win in a real fight?"
"I will probably be the one to fight head-on, but her methods should be more about assassination and conspiracy. You always say that martial arts are second to none, but that only refers to the form of ring combat. How can a fight be so fair? scene?"
"So you may not be able to win?"
Yan Rong seemed to understand what Zhou Weiyuan meant: "You use my strength to do risk assessment, right?"
"I'm not sure about this person's character at all, so we should take some precautionary measures, right?" Zhou Weiyuan put the book on the table back into his backpack, "But one thing she said is right. If there are really many tourists there, we You have to be ready for battle.”
Everyone packed up a few books and walked out of the library. Yan Rong also took a handful of white candles. Shang Wenxue did not recycle these things when he left, but Yan Rong thought they might be used later.
Back in D1, Ning Yeyi told everyone about the discoveries in the library and the current plan. She did not avoid Teng Zijian and the others, but only slightly modified the experience of monk Wenxue, saying that he was a classmate, and took the opportunity to draw the conclusion that "many people are going to A1 to investigate, there should be some clues about escape there."
The word "escape" was extremely tempting to Teng Zijian and others. When Yan Rong and others distributed the items and prepared to act together, Teng Zijian finally couldn't help but speak.
"Excuse me...can we go and see it with you?"
Ning Yeyi winked at Zhou Weiyuan behind his back, and Zhou Weiyuan walked up to Teng Zijian with a smile and started the bargaining he was best at.
