Grass, this is not right everyday

After the initial farce, the topic of the three began to revolve around the posture of Izayo Sakuya, and Jock and Izaya Sakuya actually chatted very vigorously on this topic.

But soon, the two also had some disputes, and finally developed to the point where they had to come up with the original work for debate.

Jock was really shocked when Izaya Sakuya took out the basically flipped and very old comics from the darkroom and password cabinet behind the wall.

But soon, the shock that rose in Jock's heart was shattered by the pleasure of tearing up the settings, and he and Izaya Sakuya started a loud argument.

Competing for each other, the two began to read the original work.

turn over turn over --

Four hours passed.

In the end, watching Sunshine killing wildly, Jock even forgot to laugh at Izaya Sakuya saying "Your father blew up".

Jock, Hong Meiling, and Izayo Sakuya rushed together, concentrating on reading the manga in their hands page by page.

In the end, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the end of the third part.

"Even if I know the ending, I want to keep reading it. It's really a magical manga." Sakuya Izayo said with some emotion, "It was many years ago when I came to Gensokyo, and it's been ten years now. ..No, it should have been 20 years, and I don’t know what happened to the author.”

...he hasn't really changed.

When Jock was about to give Izaya Sakuya a spoiler for the entire fourth, fifth, and most critical sixth, he suddenly saw the sky behind him from the corner of his eye, and was shocked to find that it was already this time.

Jock, who patronizes reading comics from beginning to end and has nothing else to do, was politely sent out of the Scarlet Devil Mansion by Izaya Sakuya and Hong Meiling, and when he was about to leave towards the world, Jock It always feels as if something has been forgotten.

"By the way, why am I here at the Scarlet Devil's Mansion." Jock walked on the road, thinking about it.

Five minutes later, Jock returned to the Red Devils Pavilion again.

He wanted to shoot himself, he completely forgot the real purpose of this trip, he didn't come here to read comics, he came here to find a library!

"Eh? You're back again, I forgot something——Wow!"

Hong Meiling watched Jock turn back and greeted him heartily, but unexpectedly Jock pressed the fast forward button to fast forward to the action.

The magic cannon taught by Kazami Yuka sank Hong Meiling who was in charge of the gate.

The door of the Scarlet Devil Mansion was blasted open again. This time, Joke rushed into the Scarlet Devil Mansion angrily. He never expected that his fame in the first life would be circulated around by a little maid with a comic book.

"Hey, why are you here again?" Sakuya Izayo thought someone else broke in, but it turned out to be the man just now, "Have you forgotten anything?"

"There's a library here, right? Take me there now." Joker approached Sakiya Izaya at a speed comparable to teleportation, "Don't try to play tricks."

As Jock said, he grabbed Sakuya's arm to prevent her from pausing time to run away.

He was sure that even pausing time wouldn't break free, and Sakuya Izayo didn't waste time struggling at all.

"Do you want to go to the library?" Izaya Sakuya looked him up and down, but he couldn't tell that Jock was a person who liked to read.

But considering that the black and white people who often come and go here don't look like people who like reading very much, this seems not so unacceptable.

"You're going to the library, just go directly." Izayo Sakuya was a little puzzled. "The library is open to the outside world. Just tell Meiling that you are here to borrow books."

Jock sneered, taking this as a trap by Izaya Sakuya.

Say you can go?How could it be so simple, if it was so simple, why would Hong Meiling at the door try to stop her? It's not like she didn't tell Hong Meiling that she was going to the library.

Wait, did I say I was going to the library?

Joke suddenly realized something, stopped and continued to question Izayo Sakuya, and carefully recalled the communication with Hong Meiling.

At first, when the woman was sound asleep, Jock patronized to wake her up, then immediately started to move his hands when she woke up, and then patronized to read comics.

"Um......"

Jock grabbed Izayo Sakuya's hand and fell silent suddenly.

Instead, Izaya Sakuya tugged on Jock's sleeve and woke him up from his contemplation.

"...You didn't tell Meiling about this at all, did you?"

"How is it possible, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense! How could I forget to ask such an important question, if you don't believe me, ask her!"

Jock almost jumped up like a trampled rabbit, and pointed at Hong Meiling behind him.But obviously his actions did not dispel Sakuya's doubts, but made the doubts in her blue eyes even stronger. She looked past Jock and looked at Hong Meiling who was already unconscious in the garden.

Well, now the wise head maid has come to a conclusion.

Jock waved his hand quickly, as if trying to delete the embarrassing scene just now from the world line with a non-existent eraser.

"Ahem, anyway. Can you take me to the library?"

Although she experienced many inexplicable things, especially Hong Meiling was beaten twice innocently.But in the end, in the subtle eyes of Izayo Sakuya, Jock was brought to the legend, which contains a large library with many out-of-print books that have been lost to the outside world.

48. Patchouli

Jock was led by Izaya Sakuya to walk through the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and they walked all the way underground.

He was quickly brought to a door. The huge wooden door was ajar. Izaya Sakuya opened the side door lightly and waved to Jock.

"Here is the library you are looking for." Sakuya Izayo made a gesture of invitation to Jock, "Usually, if there are any books you want, you can borrow them directly, but the book you are looking for I haven’t heard of it at all, and I’m sure it’s not on the loan list.”

"Oh, I knew it." Jock resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "I didn't expect borrowing a book to cause so much trouble."

Silver bell-like laughter came from Izaya Sakuya, she seemed to find it funny that Jock was embarrassed.

Jock also ignored the maid who liked to pose, and walked into the legendary large library in the direction guided by Izaya Sakuya.

Great library.

Really big library.

Jock was a little bit moved. The people here took names really simple. The one called Sun Flower Field was really a flower field with only sun flowers, and the one called Big Library was really a ridiculously big library.

Jock stood at the top of the stairs. He didn't know how many books were stored here. He couldn't see the end at a glance. The huge bookshelves were stacked on top of each other, like some kind of solid fortress.

This place is located at an unknown depth underground. It is opaque and airtight. Although there is a musty smell in the air, it is not dim. There are things that look like oil lamps floating around to illuminate the entire underground space. It looked bright, but Jock was pretty sure the light in the lamp wasn't a flame or anything that could ignite the pages.

"The size here is too exaggerated. Have you really read the books here?" Even as a modern person who has experienced many battles, Jock secretly felt astonished by the size of the library, "The bookshelves here are bigger than ordinary books. There are even more books in the library.”

After hearing this description, Sakuya Izayo chuckled again, continued to be responsible for guiding, and followed Jock to the inner space.

"Here is the "Bavalu Great Library" owned by the legendary witch, Patchouli Noreki, which houses books that are extremely rare in the outside world, or even completely disappeared."

Izaya Sakuya silently introduced Jock, carefully introducing the history and greatness of this library.

Jock listened silently, if this Paqiuli Noreki's library is really as powerful as what Sakuya sixteen nights said, this legendary master of magic should be quite old, rough According to calculations, it is at least over two hundred years old.

"Here we are." The two walked for about ten minutes, and Sakuya sixteen nights suddenly stopped.

Jock was taken to a very deep place, and a door appeared in front of him, not as exaggerated as the previous library door, it looked like an ordinary door that can be seen everywhere.

"This is the place where Master Paqiuli rests and reads, you wait here a moment, I..."

As soon as Izaya Sakuya finished his first sentence, Jock rushed in immediately.He wasn't interested in waiting for a notification, so he might as well just barge in.

Ignoring Sakuya's obstruction, Jock pushed the room away. The room is not much different from the library outside, but the decoration is more delicate. There are even blankets on the floor, and candlesticks instead of oil lamps are used for the surrounding lighting. .

There is a huge round wooden table in the center of the room, stacked with various books and tools, and beside the huge round table, there is a figure with long purple hair who is reading hard. She is dressed like Pajamas generally look fluffy and fluffy, and the hat on the head is similar to the hat on Yakumo Zi's head that I have seen before.

Is this Patchouli Norej?

"Just f*** your name is Paqiuli?"

Jock strode towards Paqiuli Noreki's direction, just two steps forward, his feet lit up, Jock looked down, and he seemed to be stepping on some kind of complicated magic circle.

The magic circle rotates and flickers.The magic power turned into scorching heat, and at the moment when the flames were about to burst out, a battle ax gleaming with ice blue light slashed at the magic circle, breaking it with one blow.

The purple figure sitting at the round table tilted his head slightly, a little surprised.

"It scared me to death, but luckily I'm better at playing chess." Joker said without sincerity, "This little old lady has a very bad temper."

Even after being attacked, Jock still had no intention of violently hurting others. He cheekily approached Paqiuli and was about to say something when the woman in pajamas suddenly turned her face away.

"what?"

What turned around was a rather lovely face, full of intelligence and the unique temperament of the immortal.

"What's the matter, you came to my library, and you were led here by Sakuya, you didn't just come here to respect the elderly." Paqiuli added the accent on the word "respect the elderly", which seemed a little bit Concerned about being called a little old lady.

"Hey, don't pay attention to these details, Master Patchouli."

"Please call me Ms. Noreki, we are not familiar enough to call each other by first name."

line ⑧.

Jock tilted his head and looked at Sakuya who was covering her face behind her. She sighed and hurried up to smooth things over.

After all, Paqiuli finally agreed to lend books to Joker with the efforts of Sakiya Izaya.

"You just said that this book was borrowed by Baiyi Yonglin of Yongchang Pavilion?" Paqiuli was a little unbelievable, as if she had come into contact with something she couldn't understand, "I don't think it's strange that she knows this book , why do you think you can read it?"

"The Necronomicon is a black magic book written by the Arabic poet Abdullah Alhazad in the eighth century AD. At least in the eyes of the people at that time, it was just ordinary black magic."

"The whole book is full of obscure and hard-to-read hints and metaphors. Whether or not you can read this book has nothing to do with wisdom, but only with spirit. To put it simply, it seems that only a lunatic can understand this book."

Having said this, Paqiuli took a sip of her black tea, put down the huge book in her hand, and turned around to look up and down at Jock.

"I only see from you that wisdom has nothing to do with you, and I don't see anything special."

...Smelly woman, if it weren't for you, I still need you.

"Oh, don't say so much, even if I can't read, you have no loss." Joker said, "Although I haven't studied Arabic, I can make do with pictures."

"Arabic... No, what I have here is only the Greek version, which was translated into Greek by the Byzantines in the tenth century AD. The real Arabic version probably no longer exists."

Jock nodded thoughtfully, but it didn't really make any difference to him.

Not to mention Greek and Arabic, even if it is translated into English, he may not know all of it.

49. The Necronomicon

"Well, but what you said makes sense." Paqiuli said after taking another sip of her black tea, "There is really no loss for you to see, after all, that book has always been very difficult to interpret, with gray ambiguities and multiple meanings. There are too many places, and it is really a headache to refer to the astrology of the eighth century AD."

Patchouli snapped her fingers and called softly to the empty hall.

"Little devil, take him to find that book."

"Yes~ Lady Patchouli."

demon.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a demon, and it smells like a demon, but it looks somewhat different from the demons Jock knows.

With long red hair, there are not many demonic features except the wings and tail. Wearing a small suit and skirt, it looks like a demon closer to JK outside.

"This is my familiar, little devil. Just follow her." After Paqiuli finished speaking, she seemed to have lost all interest in talking to Jock, and continued to bury her head in the book, reading it wholeheartedly.

"Please go this way." The little devil smiled and guided Jock, replacing Sakuya's previous work.

Izaya Sakuya had already left, and disappeared suddenly, probably because of the timeout.

Joker was a little excited, and when he came to Gensokyo, he only had to review JOJO for an afternoon, except for the fact that Kazami Yuka was really fragrant and did not poke the needle.

And now, it finally feels like it's close to the main mission.

The little devil kept smiling even when his back was turned to Jock, silently guiding Jock to move in Patchouli's room.

In this quieter room, there are far fewer books piled up than the books outside, but even so, it can still support the collection of books in a library.

"The books here all have their own special features. Many of them can't be deciphered even by Mrs. Paqiuli. It's dangerous to read, so I put them here to prevent people from touching them by mistake."

The little devil turned his back to Jock, but he still seemed to see the doubts on Jock's face, and explained him politely.

Jock nodded noncommittally, acting very bored.

After that, the two did not continue to communicate, and did not continue to communicate more until Jock was brought to the "Necronomicon".

"This is where Master Paqiuli kept that book." The little devil still kept a kind smile.

Jock nodded, and slowly approached the legendary book.

It can be seen that even in such a huge book storage, Patchouli still has a special fancy for this book.

The book was placed on a stone platform composed of a single block of obsidian, and a blue flame was burning on the stone platform, but the pages of the book were not harmed at all.

It was getting closer, and the closer Jock got to the book, the more he felt palpitations, which made him more convinced that the book had something to do with him.

Jock snatched the "Necronomicon" from the blue flame. The cover of the book looked old and had a lot of damage, which made Jock read it more carefully.

"Ah, please go this way if you want to read." The little devil reminded him, but Jock ignored her.

Jock caressed the cover of the book fascinatedly, as if he could feel countless relief from it.
