Horror Game: Crazy criticizes a beauty who has no martial ethics

Chapter 86 God’s Grace (20)

Xia Lingge sat on the top of the bookshelf and looked at the overall layout of the library. Bai Xi climbed up slowly and tremblingly. She sat next to Xia Lingge, took a deep breath and asked unsteadily: "What did you see? "

Xia Lingge didn't speak, but just stretched out his hand and made two gestures around the library. Bai Xi looked confused and confused. He turned his head and looked at the overall bookshelves in the library again. The rows of bookshelves were neatly arranged. There are no rules, some intervals are too large, and some intervals are too small. All the buildings in the castle are about having rules. There is something strange about such a haphazard arrangement.

Bai Xi thought about the lines that Xia Lingge had just drawn with his fingertips, and combined those lines with the bookshelf in front of him. He suddenly found that it was really interesting. Lines and lines, strips and strips. Each one seemed to be divided into two columns and recombined. There are two English words 'H' and 'Z'. Although it is not very obvious at a single glance, you can indeed get these two letters by moving them up and down.

"But what's the use of these two letters?" Bai Xi turned to look at Xia Lingge.

Xia Lingge replied: "It should have something to do with sorting."

She just glanced at a circle of books, and there were countless books beginning with 'H' and 'Z'. This could not be used as a reference, so she thought that 'H' and 'Z' might be related to the order of arrangement.

Among the 26 English letters,
'H' belongs to eight,

'Z' belongs to 26,

Xia Lingge's eyes fell on the layers of wooden boards on the bookshelf. Counting upwards vertically could not reach 26, but at most 24, so the numbers were most likely arranged horizontally.

26...eight...

She turned to Bai Xi and said, "Go to each bookshelf and look for the six books No. 20 on the eighth row."

After hearing this, Bai Xi seemed to understand better. She and Xia Lingge went down to the ground one after another and began to look for the six books No. 20 in the eighth row in the library. They had seen that the library was very big and there were enough books, but the detailed After counting them in detail, I discovered that there were not actually many bookshelves, but they were just wide enough and big enough to make the entire library look extremely grand.

Xia Lingge and Bai Xi worked together to find four books No. 20 in the eighth row, but something unexpected happened when they went to find the fifth book. There was nothing there.

Bai Xi shook his head: "Those are the books that were stolen and not recovered."

Xia Lingge was silent, but first he and Bai Xi put the books together. They were all written in English. But based on the general idea, it was obvious that these four books were not close to each other. History, geography, science fiction, famous novels...

Bai Xi looked at her: "Can you see anything?"

Xia Lingge didn't answer her, she just closed all the books again. She looked at the covers of all the books and suddenly pointed with her fingertips, "Look at the initials of these books."

'R', 'E', 'T', 'E'... In addition, there is one more vacancy.

Xia Lingge thought carefully: "Is it 'three'?"

If all the initial letters are arranged and combined with one gap, it can perfectly match the English number 'three'.

Bai Xi also saw the clues in Xia Lingge's words, but he didn't agree immediately. He lowered his head and started thinking again: "It could also be 'Thirteen'."

She took the book and arranged it again: "In Spanish, these letters can also be combined into thirteen 'trece's, which are 'T', 'R', 'E', 'C', 'E'..."

"Similarly satisfies alphabetical order and one vacancy."

Xia Lingge blinked: "How do you know?" Bai Xi held the book and said with emotion: "When I was in college and had nothing to do, I went to watch a Spanish movie with my classmates. The story was very touching and profound, so let I'm interested in learning Spanish, but I'm not very proficient in it, but I have no problem counting."

Xia Lingge looked into her eyes, her eyes were gentle and did not dodge, and her expression was full of nostalgia, which did not sound like she was lying.

so now……

Is it 'three' or 'thirteen'?

Xia Lingge was silent. The missing book besides her happened to be the key to solving the mystery. She didn't know who took it, let alone whether the person who took the book happened to do it accidentally or intentionally. , but no matter what, it can prove that there is a treasure hidden in this library.

Let’s study first, ‘three’ and ‘thirteen’.

Is it still searching vertically and horizontally?

No, no game will use the same rules repeatedly, and even if it does, it will happen in different copies, and the same reveal in the same game should not be so simple.

What else could there be?

Xia Lingge opened the book in front of her and started to read from Chapter 1, the author's introduction, the table of contents, and then the main text. She was from the Chinese department and couldn't read all English, but she had read a lot of translated books when she was in the school library. , so based on some word analysis, such as history and famous novels, she can get the general idea, but the rest...

"It's strange to say."

Bai Xi suddenly murmured: "Generally speaking, the author's introduction will include the date of birth and death, but why is there only the date of death in these?"

Xia Lingge took a look and found that it was indeed the case. Each author's introduction only stated "date of death" and no "date of birth" at all. She read down the content and her eyes fell on the publication date.

Suddenly an idea flashed into her mind.

Is there a possibility that 'three' or 'thirteen' is the interval between the date of publication and the date of death?
She stood up and looked at the books in the library and said to Bai Xi, "Check the date interval."

The library is very big,
Although they rummaged quickly, it also took a lot of time. In the end, Xia Lingge found the book with the date 'three' on the side of the bookshelf, which was the book "Nordic Gods" she originally put back. Xi also found books with the interval date of 'Thirteen' from the bookshelf on the other side.

But which of these two books contains clues?
Or which of these two books can help her find the half-mask?

Bai Xi and Xia Lingge held the books in their hands respectively. Bai Xi thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a little longer."

Xia Lingge was puzzled: "What are you waiting for?"

Bai Xi said: "There is only one regulation in the library, which is to ensure that the books are complete. If the books are not complete, the library will have an 'earthquake' every 10 minutes, but I found that this did not happen when we were looking for alphabet books. , I think the library still condones the revelation of secrets."

"Now we each have a book in our hands. As long as we use 'Earthquake' to test it, we can know which book in our hands is a special case."

Xia Lingge thought about it and felt that it was a solution.She was about to ask Baixi when the earthquake would come and what it would be like when it came, when she felt an unusually violent shaking under her feet.
