Chapter 62 The Deck Cleaner

"Liu Xu, are you willing to join my branch of the library?" That night, Liu Xu was called in front of the curator, and at the same time, he found that the curator showed an extremely cautious expression.

"The branch of the library?" Liu Xu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Director, I don't understand this at all."

"Then let me tell you!" The curator nodded and said, "The library lineage is an institution that is responsible for collecting and protecting all banned books. 212 years ago, that is, the 88th year after the Great Dawn, human beings at that time suddenly A huge protest movement broke out, asking the Writers Association not to force novels to be promoted, nor to force readers to read novels, and not to allow them to read novels at other times except for food and farming. The most intolerable thing is to read those novels. The plot is just a routine novel repeated over and over again, and they are not given a chance to refuse to watch it."

"It was a very dangerous time for human beings. There were reflections on the outside, and such a serious scene almost riot broke out inside. In the end, the Writers Association and the World Government had to make a compromise. Announced the order to stop forcing readers to read novels, except for Wen Kao novels Besides, at other times, no human being shall be forced to read any novel for any reason."

"But as a result of the lifting of the ban, the number of contracted authors began to decrease rapidly, and humans began to look for entertainment other than novels in large numbers, so video games were born. This is the only entertainment activity independent of novels so far."

"Although the birth of video games has created a large category of game novels, you also know that compared with novels, games are much happier. The most direct result is that novels have lost a large number of readers. .At the most exaggerated time, almost all human beings ran to play video games. The number of signed authors born in 20 years was not as good as the number of signed authors born in the previous year. Humans had to give up a lot of territory , and ended up losing nearly 2/3 of the world."

"The game is wrong for the country!"

"Afterwards, the games you saw in the historical materials were purged. All the games were forcibly banned, and all the protesters were directly imprisoned in labor camps. With the full cooperation of the Writers Association, the World Government, and all contracted authors, The game was completely suppressed, the novel returned to the main position, all the rebels were completely wiped out, the number of contracted authors finally began to rise steadily, and finally mankind ushered in the super prosperity of the Twelve Great Gods."

"In order to prevent the same situation from happening again, the predecessors re-architected the world, put all reading on the Internet, and at the same time strictly controlled the Internet, repeatedly reviewed the game, and gave all human beings from the beginning of reading. Instilling the concept that reading novels is to save the world, reading novels is the destiny of all human beings, etc., trying to fundamentally solve the previous problems.”

"But this kind of behavior naturally also met with a lot of opposition. Many so-called sociologists and educators jumped out, saying that this is to imprison human thinking, this is to destroy the future of human beings, etc. Therefore, many people It is recommended to start the second major purge."

"However, considering the evil consequences of the previous era of the Great Purge, we decided to use a milder method. While sending all the so-called scholars who spoke out, they were all sent to labor camps and let them read novels for a lifetime. At the same time, we began to criticize all non-authoritarians on the market. Fiction books will be destroyed."

"Didn't they say that this is the imprisonment of human thoughts? Then don't think at all. Without thoughts, there will naturally be no imprisonment!" All the creepy history was told to Liu Xu.

Although this period of history is also mentioned in the books in the library, Liu Xu roughly guessed the process of this period of history through mutual verification of various books, but it is the first time to hear the whole history in its entirety. Second-rate.

"So, the branch of our library is to protect these books, protect these ideas, and give mankind a future, so we firmly guard the people around the library?" Liu Xu asked tentatively.

"No!" The curator shook his head, "We were the executors of this policy at the beginning. We read and classified all the books, found those demagogic books, and then confiscated them and burned them all. Chasing those who dared to write prohibited works guys, send them to the most dangerous labor reform camps."

"We strictly search for and destroy all prohibited things. Tens of thousands of contracted authors who dared to resist the policy died in our hands, and millions of ordinary human beings. We even destroyed three cities in the end. , to completely destroy the last, stubborn people from their souls."

"In that era, we were known as the executioners of thoughts, the demons of the times, the destroyers of the future of mankind, the worst evils in the world, and people who could never be forgiven."

"You saw 100 books in this library, which means that there are still 1000 books that have been completely destroyed, and there is not even a single paper copy left. As for why these 100 books can be preserved, it is not We have good intentions, but leave some samples to educate young people who are new to the library line, and tell them how to identify prohibited books."

"In order to find the deepest hidden guys, our people must also understand their thoughts, possess their thoughts, and then mix in, and finally find out those people one by one. Either throw them into the labor reform camp, or directly on the spot Fa-rectification!"

"Until now, the main task of the library is still to find those ideological thugs, and then resolutely suppress them, rather than guarding the library."

"The library is just a stronghold for our activities. When Jingqing City was first established, there were at least a hundred people in this library. Under the command of the curator, everyone in Jingqing City was monitored."

"By the way, you are not very curious, why are there so many empty rooms under the library?"

"That's because these rooms were not originally used to store books, but to monitor and interrogate those ideological thugs. Take the room you live in now as an execution room, with at least 300 people. Died there, although more than half of them are innocent, but they really died in that room!"

The curator's tone is still calm, but Liu Xu's body is shaking. Emotions are the truth of the library, the Jinyiwei of this world.

No, Jinyiwei is not as crazy as they are. This is probably not Jinyiwei, a horrible machine made up of east and west factories.

"How is it? Do you still dare to join our library?" The curator asked indifferently. Liu Xu really hesitated for a long time this time before asking, "Then why is there no one in the library now?"

"Of course it's because our ancestors did outstanding and thorough work, and now there are very few thought thugs!" The curator grinned and said, "But I have always had another guess, that is because only people from the library lineage will The right to access these prohibited books, so when the ideological thugs outside have been wiped out, our library has become the place with the most ideological thugs in the world."

"So later, the library branch became more and more benevolent, more kind, more magnanimous, and more and more clinging to the library, unwilling to let any book in it be harmed, we are here Destroyer, but now it has become the protector here, don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”

"It's not ridiculous at all!" Liu Xu shook his head. "I'm not good at judging whether the ancestors were right or wrong, but the current line of libraries is undoubtedly correct. For the future of mankind, these books are indeed not available in the world."

"But it is also for the future of mankind. We must guard these books firmly and never let them disappear and be destroyed."

"You thought thug!" The curator cursed, then threw a pamphlet to Liu Xu and said, "Actually, you have no choice, I have already submitted your name, and the headquarters has also approved it. From now on From the beginning, you are the deck cleaner of the library line."

"Deck cleaner?" Liu Xu showed a blank expression.

"That's right, Deck Cleaner, that's the nickname of our branch of the library. At that time, there was an important thought thug who took his students and fled to a cruise ship, thinking that he could avoid us. This is a joke. .”

"It's just that this ship was the car of a great author at the time. He blamed us for dirtying his deck and forced us to clean his deck. It took three years to clean it, so the deck cleaner became us. Almost everyone's nickname, and later even we used this nickname, after all, the deck cleaner sounds much better than a lifetime orphan!"
