Returning from the abyss

Chapter 205 The Library Encounter

If the situation is not good, it will not be good. What needs to be done must be done.

Today's Sabbath activities are still not over, but the rainy weather continues, and the results of the weather forecast are not accurate.Both Lu Ning and Ye Nai changed into raincoats, and it was even more difficult to recognize anyone walking on the street where everyone was dressed the same.

"Where do we start?"

"Hmm... Although I said I want to go to District [-], I still have something I'm more concerned about." Lu Ning took out her phone and found Wei Yin's name.

She would not make the mistake of procrastinating and killing key people. It is best to call her as soon as possible today.

"Hey?"

Not long after the connection was made, Wei Yin's energetic voice came from the opposite side.

"Vine? I am..."

"I know who you are! Are you outside? In the car? I'm so glad you called me. Come to the second district. I'm looking through literature in the school library."

The other party keenly noticed the somewhat noisy environment on Lu Ning's side, and quickly interrupted the name she was about to say.

Lu Ning was also a little surprised by this cautiousness and speed of response.But thinking about what Wei Yin is doing now, it's not surprising.

The two took a car to the second district, that depressing university town.

This time Lu Ning finally walked into the campus.Unlike ordinary universities, here does not have the youthful vitality that ordinary universities have.Although some students were walking around outside, they all seemed to be in a hurry with their books in their hands, and they didn't even have the time to stop and say a word.Lu Ning and Ye Nai looked for the address given by Wei Yin. It was the reading room on the third floor of the university library. There were documents from all over the world.

Wei Yin is not here alone, she is also looking for documents here with her mentor, a gentle middle-aged man named Gunk.And even when introducing them to her mentor, Wei Yin only introduced them by their surnames, and didn't say their full names.

"My name is Gunk. You are not students here. You can just call me by my name." Gunk didn't mind his students' little thoughts, and said to the two with a smile, "I know the subject that Wei Yin is studying, and If you can’t find the exact evidence of history inside, you can only start from the outside, so I brought her here to find information, but it’s a pity that I still have a few projects in hand, so I can only guide her. It would be great if a friend is willing to come and help her."

"Well, can we find it casually?" Ye Nai was slightly shocked by the huge collection.

"The library is open to everyone. Anyone who is thirsty for knowledge will be treated equally here, just be careful not to damage the books. If you are not familiar with it, Wei Yin can show you around first."

Lu Ning noticed another meaning in Gunke's words.

"Are you saying that you can read any book here? It doesn't matter who it is?"

"If it's not for the popularization of knowledge, what's the point of building a library?" Gunke smiled, "I know what you're thinking, of course, non-school staff can only borrow books in the library, this is to avoid the loss of precious books Otherwise, you can borrow any book here."

Lu Ning's eyes lit up immediately.

As the core education block, the second district library is more than three or four times larger than the fifth district. The collection of books here is so large that the border can hardly be seen at a glance. The bookshelves exude the smell of old paper, camphor and ink Between is the favorite path of every good scholar.

Wei Yin led Lu Ning and Ye Nai through the rows of bookshelves, and introduced them to the books and classifications in different languages.Undoubtedly, Wei Yin has mastered the most languages, a total of eight. Although some of them are only in the state of reading and writing, they are already very good at this age.

Both Lu Ning and Ye Nai are only familiar with two kinds, and they have already tried their best to recognize which one they belong to.As they walked, they became Wei Yin's attendants carrying books, but just listening to her talk about the history of these books is very interesting.

"By the way, if there are records in history, maybe this one can also... "Research on Aristocratic Lineage and Inheritance". Lisufo was once made a viscount after he cured the plague. In theory, there should be one here too."

She slid her fingers across a row of thick books, and found the one corresponding to the Viscount with the surname "H", but happened to bump into the other hand.

"Eh?"

Wei Yin turned her head and saw a thin, gray-haired man with a gloomy face, and his fingers were on the book.

"Which department are you a student from?"

Before Wei Yin could speak, the man spoke first, with a professor-like sternness in his tone.

"Yes, I'm sorry! I'm Wei Yin from the Department of History, may I ask if you are..."

"Department of history? Noble blood? Study this?" The man looked up at the book, then at Lu Ning and Ye Nai, "What about you?"

"They are my friends, help me check the information..."

"Nonsense! What if outsiders come in and break the books here?"

The man's voice became more severe, and Wei Yin was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hand and apologized repeatedly.

This professor-like man glanced at Lu Ning and the two, and reached out to pull out the book. However, at this moment, Lu Ning suddenly handed a few books in his arms to Ye Nai, and walked forward. Come and hold down the book that the other party is about to pull out.

"Lu Ning? That's the professor! I'm not in a hurry to find this book!" Wei Yin reminded Lu Ning in a low voice.

"This matter has nothing to do with you."

With a smile on her face, Lu Ning looked up at the professor in front of her. She could see a look of shock and anger in the pupils of the other party, and at the same time, the strength in the other party's hands became hesitant.

"Professor Li Yanke, it's the first time we met, I just came to find this thing today, isn't it a little late?"

After finishing speaking, Lu Ning suddenly pulled hard and snatched the whole book from the other party's hand. At the same time, a flat metal badge attached to the cover of the book fell down, making a clanging sound on the ground. the sound of.

"You... you actually destroyed the books here! Where's the security? The security—"

Lu Ning didn't pay attention to the annoyed expression of the other party, but picked up the badge with her body, turned it to the front, and glanced at it.On the surface of the copper cast metal, a blue rose is blooming, and the background is a triangular coat of arms.

She threw the badge and book to Wei Yin who was a little at a loss behind her, while she stood between the two of them.

"I don't think we have conflicts." Li Yanke glanced at the badge in Wei Yin's hand, "It seems that you..."

"It's boring to say it." Lu Ning put a finger on her lips, "Let me explain in advance, that is not a good thing. We have found more than one, but we have never used it. As for the reason... there is no merit. Shoulu, do you understand?"

Li Yanke frowned.

"Where's the evidence?"

"Here."

Lu Ning took out the sawtooth dagger under her clothes, turned the hilt towards Li Yanke, and lowered her voice.

"You will understand after a touch. Even if you choose to inherit here, I have nothing to lose. On the contrary, you may fall here?"

Li Yanke touched the hilt of the sword hesitantly, and then let go immediately.

"I heard that you are a trustworthy person." Lu Ning put the short sword back, "Although I don't know how far it can go, but now you should also notice that something went wrong. Choose to stay...then Just try to avoid this danger."

"……thanks for reminding."

Even so, Li Yanke still glanced at the badge unwillingly, but Shiwen Ye Nai stood next to Wei Yin with a smile. In the case of one-on-three, he, who is not an expert in martial arts, was not sure.

"Is Professor Li alone all the time?" Lu Ning noticed his gaze, and said that the other party's attention was drawn back.

"Yes, except for the necessary information exchange, I act alone... What? Do you want to win me over?"

"I'm not interested in that. It's just that I meet more people, but there are fewer people in the second district. Can you understand what I mean?"

Li Yanke nodded slowly.

"In that case, let's meet up if we have a chance, have a cup of coffee or something."

Lu Ning sent out an invitation, and Li Yanke accepted it after thinking about it, and then quickly left the area.

"Huh... finally sent away. Wei Yin... Wei Yin?"

As soon as she turned her head, Lu Ning saw that Wei Yin was carefully looking at the badge, and she was spreading the book on the floor with her other hand and was quickly turning the pages.

"Have you found anything?"

"This badge...is not a noble family badge, it has other meanings. By the way, the blue rose badge represents the meaning of 'miracle', and is awarded to those who have accomplished great pioneering deeds. The blue rose awarded by the queen in history There are only 24 badges, including here! [End of the plague disaster that spread to half of the kingdom, using human power to fight against natural disasters, creating an impossible possibility, accordingly awarded to 'Rissufer Hightofi Erke's blue rose badge, no matter what happens to future generations, this feat will remain in the royal room of honor forever.]”

The badge pattern recorded in the book is exactly the same as the one in her hand.

"Lisufo's merits? Doesn't that mean..." Lu Ning hurriedly reached out and took the badge from Wei Yin, feeling it carefully, but didn't feel anything special.

"Isn't this a bad code?"

"Evil Code? Lu Ning, what are you talking about? Although it's strange that the book will have a badge attached to it, it can't be Evil Code, right?" Wei Yin was a little surprised.

"No—could it be—"

At this moment, a hand suddenly emerged from the ground, grabbed the book in Wei Yin's hand, and then pulled it hard, directly pulling the back cover of the book off.Ye Nai's reaction speed was fast enough. As soon as he put the book aside, he immediately flung out the iron folding fan in his sleeve, but he was still a step too slow, allowing the hand to retract to the ground with the back cover.

"Li Yanke!"

Lu Ning immediately rushed to the aisle outside the bookshelf, just in time to see Li Yanke slowly walking towards the exit, while another person floated up from the ground, appeared in front of Li Yanke, and gestured an "OK" gesture to him.

"Your goal is the back cover of that book?"

"If I were you, I wouldn't have caught up." Li Yanke turned around and took the back cover from that person, "I lied to you, I already have an ally, the team led by Zhao Xihua. Let me introduce, this is Chang Zibin who is here to help."

"Wall penetration..."

"Little girl, our eldest lady asked me to say hello to you. That badge was originally what we wanted to get, but since you found it would be troublesome to do it face to face, I will settle for the next best thing." Chang Zibin smiled, "In addition, I might as well tell you that my ability is not wall penetration, but a phantom trap. Part of the ground where you came to us has been turned into a trap by me."

Lu Ning sneered, squatted slightly, and pulled out the pistol from the boot.

Seeing this thing, the expressions of Li Yanke and Chang Zibin suddenly changed.

"I don't have to chase after you, as long as the bullet can catch up with you. Tell me what it is!"

"It's not good to be so violent at a young age..." Li Yanke showed her the back cover of the book, "You should know. Here is the pedigree of the evil tree."

On the back cover of the book, there is indeed a drawing of an evil tree, and the position representing the ten mass points is a black hole. In addition, there is a flat area in the lower right corner, which seems to be the position where the emblem is embedded.

"This thing is of no use to you."

"Does it work for you?"

"As you said, there are very few tourists in the second district, so there are many things that only I know. I have clues that you can never think of. On the contrary, I have been restrained a lot in the past fifteen days. Even the search for the evil scriptures has been stumbling... The task has not been completed, which really bothers me." Li Yanke turned to look at Lu Ning, "I think it is just right now, the badge and the back cover are separated, and we hold them separately. It also avoids the situation where all the clues of one party's accident are cut off."

"Can the two be separated?"

"Of course they will merge together in the end. This is the 'fate' of Risuvo. Nothing can prevent everything from returning to the original point. Although it sounds ridiculous, this city full of crimes actually symbolizes peace."

Li Yanke laughed.

"But many people are looking forward to tearing up this peace."

"Bullshit."

Wei Yin came out from behind the bookshelf, obviously angry.

"Although I've lived here for a long time, even I wouldn't say it's a peaceful place. You talk so much just to find a reason to justify your actions. Fate? What else can a dead man have in Risuvo Is there any fate?"

"Perseverant girl, Lisufo's death directly contributed to the establishment of the city. What do you think? The back cover of this book, the planning of the entire city... I might as well remind you some more information, in the myths and legends of various countries in the world In the novel, there are many legends about the bodies of some gods turning into mountains and rivers. You are investigating this matter, right? Then think along this line of thought, and think about this city."

After speaking, he looked at Lu Ning again.

"I will go to the appointment. Do you know my contact information? Although Cheng Yurun is annoying, he will do what he needs to do in a thoughtful manner. I will tell you more things then."

After finishing speaking, the bodies of the two suddenly sank together, directly into the ground.
