Jiang Cheng pursed his lips, his tone a little sad, and after exhaling, he said, "I don't want the tragedy to happen again."
This scene was seen by Yuan Xiaoyi, as if hope was rekindled, and a trace of rosy appeared on her originally pale face. She recalled: "Senior, the school library is similar to the abandoned playground and the medical building. They are all in the university. It is recognized as one of the most evil places."
"Xiao Hui often goes to the library to read, so she knows more about the library than we do. She will also tell us some things about there in private."
"Compared with other libraries, Jiangtan University's school library has many strange things." Yuan Xiaoyi hesitated for a moment, "For example, the library will close at 9 p.m. and all teachers and students must leave."
"After everyone leaves, the library will not be lit at night, and no one will be on duty. I heard that people from the campus security office avoid going there during night patrols."
When it came to patrolling at night, Jiang Cheng suddenly thought of the two security guards he met outside the abandoned playground last night.
The people from the security office dared to take a look at the abandoned playground, but they could only avoid the school library at night.
Comparing the two, Jiang Cheng gained a new understanding of the horror of the school library.
After all, this is also the origin of the Heart-Eating Demon.
Yuan Xiaoyi didn't seem to think too much, and just continued: "Of course, these can only be said to be strange, but...but the fact that the fourth floor of the library is empty is very strange."
As if worried that Jiang Cheng wouldn't understand, Yuan Xiaoyi reorganized her words and explained: "Senior, you may not know that our school's library looks very big, but the space structure inside is very unreasonable. Not much.”
"It's fine in normal times, but during exam weeks or during certain important periods, there simply aren't enough seats."
"We students, as well as some teachers, have reported this to the school many times, but every time the school finds reasons to evade it."
"It is said that the building is too old and the fourth layer of waterproofing is not done well. It needs to be repaired before it can be put into use. They have already made a plan. Let us wait patiently for the next arrangement."
"But..." Yuan Xiaoyi raised her head and looked at Jiang Cheng with doubts in her eyes: "A teacher once told us privately that since she came to this school, the school has said that it will rebuild the fourth floor of the library. , but it hasn’t moved until now.”
"By the way." Yuan Xiaoyi lowered her voice, "This teacher graduated from our university and has been graduating for more than 10 years."
Jiang Cheng has been to the school library, and the layout of the space inside is indeed strange. According to the story told by Director Zhou, it was the night watchman who arranged it this way.
Jiang Cheng believes that what Director Zhou said should be the truth.
The purpose of such an arrangement is naturally related to the Heart Corruption Demon.
Jiang Cheng had already thought about the whole story in his mind, but there was no expression on his face. He just nodded and said, "Xiao Yi, listen to what you said, is there something wrong with this library?"
The angle of his questioning was just right, and he did not delve into any details, otherwise it would be easy for "Yuan Xiaoyi" to see the flaws.
"Yes, senior, if it was just a simple water leak, how could it have taken so long? After all, repairing the fourth floor of the library will be good for the school."
"Then one day, after Xiaohui came back from the library, she came to us and told us mysteriously that she finally knew why the fourth floor of the library had been abandoned until now."
"It's not that the school said the building is old or leaking or something like that, but it's because of a case that happened many years ago."
Hearing the word "case", Jiang Cheng subconsciously sat up straight. The highlight he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
After having been with Yuan Xiaoyi for so long, the unknown feeling in his heart became more and more obvious. If he continued like this, something might happen.
"What case?" Jiang Cheng tilted his head and asked naturally.
"That happened a long time ago, going back decades when Jiangtan University was first established." Yuan Xiaoyi recalled.
"This building existed before the school was founded, but it was not a library at that time. As for what it was, Xiaohui said she didn't know."
"Later, the building was assigned to the school, and the school renovated the building based on the original structure and transformed it into the current library."
"By the way, Xiaohui also said that the library at that time had a fourth floor."
"What I mean is that the fourth floor can be used." Yuan Xiaoyi emphasized.
"It's just that the location is not very convenient and the lighting is not good, so it only stores some less popular books, and very few people come here to borrow them."
It seemed that the word "unpopular" gave Jiang Cheng a hint. He pretended to look at Yuan Xiaoyi in confusion, and asked with a natural expression: "What kind of books are they, are you clear?"
"Yes..." Yuan Xiaoyi recalled: "There seems to be history, but according to Xiaohui, it doesn't seem to be official history, but some unverified history and so on. There seem to be some foreign books, black The cover seems to be very thick and heavy.”
Frowning, Yuan Xiaoyi seemed to be searching in her mind, "Xiaohui mentioned it to me, but I...I can't remember clearly."
Jiang Cheng shuddered when he heard these words. It felt like a cold steel knife scraping against your skin.
The next second, following the direction from which the cold feeling came, Jiang Cheng noticed that it was the corner of Yuan Xiaoyi's eye!
She was observing herself secretly.
No.
You are testing yourself!
Oops......
A chill hit him, and Jiang Cheng instantly knew where he had betrayed himself.
It's a book.
The other party only casually mentioned that there were some unpopular books stored on the fourth floor of the library, but he seemed like a cat that smelled something fishy.
Unless...it was something he knew beforehand, something to do with the book, that wouldn't be the case.
Now that the matter has come to this, Jiang Cheng will certainly not be stupid enough to think of explaining or making amends. After a moment, Jiang Cheng gave his answer.
He turned to look at Yuan Xiaoyi with doubtful eyes, a trace of anxiety that was almost uncontrollable appeared on his face, and urged: "Xiao Yi, now is not the time to show off. Think carefully about what is on the fourth floor of the library." What kind of books are there?”
"As long as it's something Xiaohui mentioned, you must tell me, tell me completely, maybe a few words can save your life."
After saying this, Jiang Cheng seemed to be in a bad mood, and his tone became weaker, with a hint of regret, "Xiao Lin and Xiao Ting are no longer here. A large part of the reason is that the preparations were not done well. If... If I had asked more questions, maybe they wouldn't have died."
"Senior." Yuan Xiaoyi seemed to suddenly think of something, "I remembered, Xiaohui said, there is a sign hanging on the 4th floor of the bookshelf that stores foreign language books, and it is also in foreign languages."
"After translating it, it seems..." she paused, "it seems to be occultism."
