Looking at the densely packed books on the bookcase in the chemistry area, which is more than two meters high and nearly ten meters long, Feng Yan said excitedly: "Ha, it seems like I don't know where to start. It's really interesting."
Generally, when a large number of prompts appear and you feel that you have no idea where to start, you should first observe the whole of these prompts. After observing the whole, find some breakthroughs and then explore further. This is Feng Yan's observation rule.
After scanning through it, Feng Yan took a preliminary note of the structure of this bookshelf. There were 10 rows of bookshelves in this bookcase, and each row was filled with various chemistry books. There were 10 small shooters installed on the top of the cabinet. The lamps are installed about every one meter apart. The lights are not strong. They should be prepared just to make the bookcase look brighter.
"Well...at first glance, there doesn't seem to be any effective information to extract...the quality of the books is very good, and...it seems to be very thick."
Feng Yan looked at the appearance of all the books with a smile and found a problem. All the books on the bookshelf were hard-packed and almost all were thick. He specifically looked at the bookcase in the non-chemical area behind him and found that the other bookcases were not like this. Yes, there are hard sides and soft sides, and most of them are soft sides. This is normal. Library books should be like this. There are so many hard-sided books, and they are not all dictionaries. This shows that the books in the chemical area anomalies.
After writing down this anomaly, Feng Yan quickly began to observe the details of the row of books at eye level with him. This is a very direct and normal way of observation, and it is also the layer of books where the system is likely to place clues. Why do you say this? Take supermarket shelves as an example. Generally, those products placed on the shelves that are at eye level with customers or at an angle of 45° up and down are recommended products by the supermarket, that is, products with greater profits, and are referred to as products that the supermarket hopes customers will buy.
Supermarkets place such products in places that are obvious and easy for customers to observe, and put those products with less profit in lower positions, even on the top or bottom floors where they are not easily seen by customers. This is because they don’t want customers to Buy these less profitable items.
Taking this as an example, bringing thinking into the bookcase is the same definition of thinking. If the system gives clues, it will be given at the same level as the player's line of sight or in the book layer within the visual field at an angle of 45° up and down.
Of course, this is a difficult mode, and it stands to reason that it may not necessarily follow this conventional thinking. However, since the total time is only 5 minutes, it is very likely that there will be plots that do not follow the routine. Under the limited time limit, most of the The probability will be abruptly pulled back to the normal plot rhythm.
Feng Yan was very sure of this and was not blind at all. He concluded that the clues would be in the upper and lower 45° bookstores, so he directly chose the middle bookstore to start the search without being affected by any confounding factors and thus wasting time.
Feng Yan was observing while walking quickly from left to right. His goal was very clear. When time is limited but the amount of information is large, useful information will not be hidden in places where players need to waste time, such as this In the current situation, the system may hide prompts in books, but it is absolutely impossible for players to check them one by one. With so many books, 5 minutes is definitely not enough to read them one by one. Similar prompts must be in the surface. .
Feng Yan only looked at the top of the row of books at eye level with him, and immediately found something wrong with one of them.
There are nearly a hundred books in this row of bookshelves that are nearly ten meters long. Most of these books are covered with a layer of dust. No wonder, Anna just said that no one has come to the library for several years. Feng Yan didn't know if there had been a cleaner in the library before, but what he knew was that the no one Anna was referring to must also include the cleaner, otherwise there wouldn't be so much dust on the books. Besides, even if there was a cleaner, , must have been killed by Anna’s lunatic.
There was a little space between these books and the top of the bookcase. It was from this gap that Feng Yan saw traces of missing dust on the top of one of the books.
Feng Yan took out the book and looked at the appearance carefully, and said to himself: "The dust at the bottom of the pages is the most missing. According to the habits of a normal person, picking up books from such a crowded bookshelf will definitely Use your index finger, middle finger, or two fingers together to pick up the connecting base of the book, and cut out an oblique angle from the top of the book. Then it will be easier to take it out... So... this book seems to have been taken out by the curator. It has come out, which means that there is a book spirit in this book."
Feng Yan was very careful when he took out the book just now. He did not use this method to take out the book. Instead, he put his fingers into the gap between the book and the other two books, and then pulled out the book in order not to damage it. Dust-infested area above.
Based on Anna's reminder just now, no one has come to this library for several years. Most of the books are covered with dust, but there are also a few, such as the dusty one in Feng Yan's hand at this time. It is obviously in The books were taken by someone during this period. Who took these books?
It can be inferred from Anna's complaint that when the curator has nothing to do, he will select books with book spirits and let them out for a walk, so the book must have a book spirit at this time.
In the absence of floodlight prompts, it is not difficult to find the book spirit in this way, but not everyone can observe it so carefully, especially when there is not much time.
"Easy, then there must be a book spirit in the book in my hand, and the system's intention is obvious. It wants me to summon the book spirit. Summoning the book spirit requires a formula, and I don't know the formula. What should I do? Woolen cloth……"
Feng Yan tried to open the English chemistry book in his hand, wondering if the system would give him prompts like before, but this time the system did not give any formula prompts or requirements. Two minutes had passed.
This book can be opened. When you open this English book, the content is very normal. Feng Yan understands English, but this is an English book about chemistry. There are many rare words that he cannot understand very clearly. In addition, The book was mixed with some molecular structures and the like, which made it even harder for him to understand, but it didn't matter. He didn't intend to read it carefully in the first place, he just flipped through it casually. Feng Yan held the book in his hand and his mind began to think quickly. .
"Then the hint is in trouble. Let's sort out the clues we got after going to the bookcase. There may be some clues that have not been used, or there are some strange settings."
After thinking about it like this, Feng Yan immediately thought of what puzzled him before, that the books on the bookcase in the chemistry area were all packaged in hard shells.
"The books on the bookcase are all hard-covered. What benefits or results will this setting bring?"
Casting his gaze to the gap between the books in front of him, he found that the books on the left and right sides and even the top, bottom, and left sides were not only covered with hard shell material, but also had a very small gap between each book. This situation allowed each book to stand independently even without the left-right confrontation caused by other books. Feng Yan quickly realized it.
