Chapter 1862 (1/2)
”This Is this the library? ” When the door of the secret room was pushed open, I was completely shocked by the scene in front of me!
”Yes, this is our library, but the design is a bit exaggerated.” The ghost's answer was that it was tepid, but I couldn't calm down, because the library in front of me was too exaggerated.
Behind the door of the library is a long straight bridge. The bridge deck is made of a kind of black rock, without railings and columns. The piers below are also made of the same black stone, but there is no base. Under each pier supporting the bridge deck is a slowly rotating magic array flashing blue light, but below the magic array is a starry sky. Yes, it's the starry sky. The entire library is almost like being built in space. Except for this bridge, there is no wall, floor, ceiling around it. There is nothing that normal buildings should have. There was no building in the whole room. It was as if a bridge had been built in space.
”Who built your library?” Looking at the bridge in front of me and the void around me, I asked with a little surprise.
The ghost shook his head and said, ”I don't know this. I was just one of the administrators here at the beginning. I don't know when it was established. But I know that there are a lot of books here, and each of them is a very precious book. ”
”But why can't I read?”
”That's because the book is down there.”
”Below?”
”Yes, on the opposite side of the bridge.” The ghost replied, ”this bridge is the dividing line of this space. If you look at it like this, you think the bridge is positive, but when you climb to its opposite side, you will find that the bridge is also positive when you look at it from the opposite side. And when you're over there, the direction of gravity shifts, and you walk under the bridge just like you walk on the bridge deck. All the books here are at the bottom of the bridge, and ordinary people would never have thought of them under the bridge if they didn't know. ”
”Where does that long bridge lead to?”
”It doesn't work anywhere.” The ghost said: ”from here, the parts beyond 200 steps are all illusions. Once you cross the line of 200 steps, you will enter the long bridge of infinite circulation. At that time, whether you go forward or turn back, there will be only one result, that is, the long bridge that can never be finished.”
”What if you jump into the void on both sides?”
”That's the same. There is also a continuous infinite space in the void. If you jump off the bridge deck, it will float forever, and you can't turn back. As long as you leave the bridge more than five meters away, the surrounding will become completely unstressed, even if you have wings or flying skills, don't want to come back. In the glorious period of the great library, there were many thieves who had sneaked into the library to steal books, but they were all trapped in this space without exception
”I think it's more precious than those books when you hear it.”
”You can say that, but unfortunately, the room can't be moved, so if you want a book, you'd better take it and go.”
I recognized the meaning of the ghost. ”What? Is there any time limit here? ”
”Almost.” The ghost said: ”from the moment the door opens, the time will start here. In half an hour, there will be a space storm. Except for the bridge itself and the books hidden in the bridge, all the extra things will be blown into the void there. So if you want a book, you'd better find it and leave here within half an hour. By the way, we've been here for five minutes already. ”
”I see. We're going down.” I said and climbed down the edge of the bridge. According to the ghost, as long as you don't leave the bridge deck for five meters, you can fly normally, so it's not a trouble to go down to the opposite side of the bridge. The only trouble is that after crossing the boundary below the bridge body, there will be a gravity fault. Taking this place as the dividing line, the direction of space gravity above it is downward, and the direction of space gravity below it is indeed upward. If you don't pay attention to it, it's easy to lose balance, but if you're prepared in advance, it's no big deal.
After climbing to the opposite side of the bridge according to the ghost's instructions, I stood at the bottom of the bridge. However, because the direction of gravity there was opposite, even standing at the bottom of the bridge felt the same as standing on the bridge deck. Moreover, it was different from the bare bridge deck above. On both sides of the bridge bottom, there were arch supports as supporting structures. From the reverse side, I could see that they had similar functions to railings.
As soon as I stood at the bottom of the bridge, I immediately found the books mentioned by the ghost, but there was no bookshelf in my imagination. Some stones have been removed from the deck at the bottom of the bridge. The space left is just like a row of bookshelves, and those books are placed in the bookshelves inlaid on the ground at the bottom of the bridge.
In fact, although the bridge is very long, there are not many bookshelves under it. There are only three bookshelves inlaid on the bottom of the bridge. The largest one is a frame of eight meters by three meters. There are a lot of books and they are very dense. Preliminary observation shows that there are at least thousands of books. The so-called ”license plate” is engraved on the top of the book. It seems that there is a ”magic” on the top of the bookshelf.The second bookshelf is obviously much smaller than the first one. The size of this bookshelf may not be as large as that of some refrigerators. Moreover, it is different from that of the front bookshelf, which is full of books stuffed in and squeezed on the side. All the books here are placed horizontally in special grooves, and each book is placed in a separate small area with its cover facing up There is a big gap between them, and there is a light film on the surface of each groove, which will flash twice from time to time.
”These are the most valuable books?” I asked, looking at the sign on the top of the second shelf, because it said ”secret code.”.
The ghost heard me and said, ”yes, these are the most precious treasures of this library.”
After getting the affirmative answer, I nodded, and then put Ling and Xiaochun out and asked them to help me carefully take out those books and put them into Fenglong space. Moving books is not a move. Besides, these books are too precious. I dare not let those death guards and Kirin warriors move them. Anyway, there are not a few books in this bookshelf, which will be finished soon. Of course, we have carefully checked before moving the books. There is no book of the world on this shelf.
The first two bookshelves were not found, and the last one was left.
Unlike the two bookshelves in front of us, there is no writing on the title board of this bookshelf. Instead, a skeleton with a sickle and a robe is directly drawn, which clearly means death and warning.
The area of the bookshelf under the title board is slightly larger than that of the No. 2 shelf, but there are two less books on it. The main reason is that each book on this shelf is sealed tightly. There is a box like an ossuary box on the outside of each book, and there is a strong seal on the outside of each box, which obviously does not want people to open the box.
”My Lord, please speed up a little. We have only fifteen minutes left.” While I was observing the so-called forbidden book shelf, the ghost next to me suddenly made a warning.
I nodded and went to the bookshelf and squatted down. I thought about calling Ling. Professional things or let professionals deal with better, these books with strong seal by Ling processing more reassuring.
