So I became a witch

"It's so big! By the way, it's my first time here." Looking at the huge building in front of me, I sighed.The height of the library is about [-] meters, covering an area of ​​nearly [-] square meters, which is almost the size of an ordinary playground. Every detail is condensed with the efforts of countless top architects in the world. Basically, every student who enters the school It will be the first thing you see at first sight. It can be said that it is the iconic building of Xingjiang Middle School.

"Because Luo Tianchen, you don't study much at all. Really, you are sleeping in class, and the content of the exam is so remote. A lot of knowledge can only be found in this library, but you can keep it every time you take the exam. Passing, should I say that it is you?" Bingying smiled wryly.

"Accidental, accidental, if you really want to say this, wouldn't the president who gets full marks every time in the exam be more terrifying?" I said with a haha, "You also know that I don't like to stay in crowded places, like libraries. A place with such a high grade B is not suitable for me at all. By the way, where are we going?"

Entering the hall, the automatic door seems to separate the inside and the outside into two worlds. It is clear that there is so much noise outside, but there is no sound inside. There is no sound in the huge library. Silent people come and go, orderly.

"Remember to change into special shoes, and then we will go to the elevator over there." Ye Diewu told us with gestures.Fortunately, we have been together for two years, even if she didn't speak, we still understood what she meant, changed our shoes according to her instructions, and boarded the elevator.

"Is it finally possible to talk here?" I finally let out a sigh of relief in my heart, "But it's so strange, there are so many people, but there is no sound at all."

"The shoes here are all specially made, and the best sound insulation materials are used between the rooms. After all, human beings are social creatures. If everyone keeps silent, individuals will not dare to speak out because of embarrassment. Right. Ah, by the way, if you make a lot of noise, your credits will be deducted."

"The last one is the key point, right?" I forgot to mention that the tuition fees of Xingjiang Middle School are extremely expensive. Credits will be deducted, and depending on the number of credits, it will determine whether you are in the promotion group, repetition group or drop-out group.Those with high credits will be compensated with scholarships, while those with low credits will be fined.By the way, every year I happen to be on the line of the entrance group, so that there are rumors in the school that "the line of admission? Just go and see Luo Tianchen's grades". After all, I have carefully investigated every Individual's usual credits and test scores are predicted.I don't know why, but seeing the displeased but helpless expressions of the members of the school board will make me feel very happy, and it can be regarded as a little entertainment in a boring life.

"Well, I remember that the 1st-3rd floor is the student study room, the 4th-6th floor is the library borrowing room, the 7th-9th floor is the central computer room, the 10th-11th floor is the club activity room, and the 12th-14th floor is the The storage room for various rare collections, the 15th floor is the administrator's room and the place where documents are stored, and the 16th floor is the leadership office. This is roughly the case, and ordinary students are not allowed to go up from the 12th floor." Bingying said Flipping through the student handbook, he explained to me.

"So, what about the 17th floor?" I asked.

"Hey? What is the 17th floor?" Bingying froze for a moment.

"I just counted outside, the whole library has a total of seventeen floors." I said.

"Huh? Really? But it's not written in the student handbook, and there's no 17th floor on the elevator... Ye Diewu, do you know about this?" Bingying turned to Ye Diewu and said.

She shook her head: "Sorry, I don't know. But this house should only have 16 floors, and I didn't find any other passages to go up again."

"Really? I guess I made a mistake." I didn't care, "By the way, which floor are we going to?"

"Floor 15, where all the materials of Xingjiang City since written records are stored."

"Wow, I heard you look so cool. By the way, Bingying, why have you been grabbing my clothes since just now..."

"Hey, it's just a coincidence..."

"Huh?" I looked at her suspiciously. Although Bingying wanted to keep calm, her trembling feet had already betrayed her.I glanced at the outside of the sightseeing elevator, and found that we were already at a considerable height at this time, and there was only a blue sky and white clouds as far as the eye could see.

"So that's how it is... Bingying, are you afraid of heights?"

"Just a little bit!"

"I see. No wonder you are sweating profusely every time you come to see me. Did you walk up instead of taking the elevator?" Ye Diewu gave the second piece of evidence.

"I said it's only one point! It's really only one point!"

Chapter 8 Unbelievable events at school

Not to mention how Bingying survived the torment of just tens of seconds, in short, we finally came to the 15th floor.With a crisp sound of "ding", the elevator door opened slowly. After I walked out with anticipation, I saw... an iron door.

This... If I'm not mistaken, it should be a special security door for a bank vault. It is said that a super metal alloy door that can't even be blown up by TNT, why did it appear in a school library!

Ye Diewu walked to the door without saying a word, and after skillfully going through a series of actions of swiping the card, swiping the face, and checking the fingerprints, the anti-theft door made a sound of mechanical operation and opened automatically.

What appeared in front of us was a scene like a different world.

Books are all books, and the bookcases made of beech wood are neatly arranged in rows, and there is no end in sight at a glance.On the left side of the door is a spacious personal private room, with beds covered by computers, air-conditioned restaurants, bathrooms, and overlooking the city through the windows. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small and luxurious presidential suite.

"No wonder you want to be a librarian here. I thought it was such a hard job, but I didn't expect the salary to be so good." I praised.

"It's not as good as you think. I've stayed here before, but I can't sit still for a while."

"Huh? Why? Because you're afraid of heights?"

"That's not true! It's because it's too quiet, it's like living in a deep mountain and old forest... No, no, there are not even any creatures here except you, there are only endless seas of books." It seemed to remember something. After a horrible experience, Bingying hugged her shoulders tremblingly, "Although I have had the experience of being alone for a long time before, it is still too childish compared to working here..."

"Is it so scary?" I expressed my doubts. This kind of place where I can do whatever I want without being disturbed by anyone is simply the paradise of my dreams.

"It's just because you haven't experienced it! In fact, I resigned after only half a month. Other students seldom last a few days!" Bingying retorted.

"Oh really? What about Ye Diewu? How does she count? If I remember correctly, she should have been working for at least a year."

"This..." Bingying was speechless all of a sudden, "She's just special!"

"Yes, yes, I know." I perfunctorily intend to end this topic, but Bingying is still reluctant.

"Hey, Ye Diewu, tell him what it's like to be here!"

"Nothingness." Ye Diewu briefly commented.

"Yes, yes! I just said it's hard!"

"Eh... If that's the case? Why can you stay here for so long?"

"High grades. I'm used to it." Ye Diewu's words were as brief as ever.

Well, after all, it is Ye Diewu who is privately called a "robot" by her classmates. If it is her, maybe she can really stay here for a long time.In my mind, I couldn’t help but imagine such a picture: the end is coming, everyone is dead, only Ye Diewu stays quietly in this room, silently watching the last sunset of the earth ...What should I do? It really feels like a picture!

"However, if there are so many books, how should we find them?" Bingying's words interrupted my thoughts.

"Hey? Didn't you also work as a librarian at the beginning?" I asked in surprise.

"I'm just a deputy. It was an old man who was in charge of this place. Like Ye Diewu, he doesn't like to talk. All I can do is help him sort out the book list. I heard the news of his death shortly after I resigned. It seems to be too old...The library has been managed by Ye Diewu since then."

"Hey? Is that so? Then, Ye Diewu, where should I find what I want?" I tried to ask her again.

"SB area, column 233."

"Hey? Do you mean the storage place? THANK YOU!"

As expected of a talented girl who entered school at the age of 12, her memory is really not covered.

"SB area, 210...212...ah, I found it, row 233."

On the label of the bookcase, there are several large characters clearly written "Xingjiang city's urban structure and architecture in the past dynasties".

"It seems that there is nothing wrong here." Bingying said.

"Well, I didn't expect it to be so detailed." I nodded, "Then what we're looking for is the full map of Xingjiang City in 2009? 2009...2009..."

Although there are two people working together, I still can't find what I want from this pile of books for a while, so I chatted with Bingying while looking for books.

"Speaking of so many books, where did the school board get them? It looks like there are at least a million copies? How did they get them in..."

"I don't know. It is said that there were many books in the library when the school was founded, but most of them were filled in later."

"I remember that our school has a history of a hundred years. So it is so, no wonder there are so many orphans. I understand a little bit why the entrance of this floor is locked with a security door."

"Well, it looks like that on the surface, but there is actually a rumor that has been circulating in our school for a long time, Tianchen, do you know?"

"What is that? The seven incredible events on campus?" I wondered.

"Basically, after all this school has been established for so long, it is inevitable that many incredible things have happened. In fact, some students before you claimed that they discovered the hidden No.17 floor of the library, which can be regarded as a kind of strange talk. But the strange story I want to tell is about the rumor of the 'sealed monster' on the No.16 floor of the library."

"'Sealed monster'?"

"Yeah, it's a story that few people know even among the students." Seeing my surprised expression, Bingying raised her fingers triumphantly, "It is said that the door at the door is not to prevent others from intruding, but It’s to prevent the monsters inside from going out. The administrator’s main job is to guard the monsters, and it’s said that the last time the librarian was killed by monsters because of this.”

"Who spread such nonsense rumors? You see, Ye Diewu has done nothing for so long, and where will the monster hide?"

"Hmm... Maybe it exists in the hidden seventeenth floor?"

"Have you found it?" Ye Diewu silently appeared at the top of the bookcase, startling us both.

"No, not yet." Bingying turned her head a little guilty.

"Really." Ye Diewu said lightly, completely unable to see what she was thinking.She looked carefully along the bookcase, probably helping us find it together.

"Well, don't tell Ye Diewu what you just said, or I'm afraid she might have some bad thoughts." Bingying whispered to me.

"I understand, I understand." I nodded, turned around and said to Ye Diewu who was searching carefully, "Well, do you know why the bank security door is installed here?"

"Hey! You!" Bingying was taken aback, and it was too late to stop me.

"Don't worry, I won't talk about what happened just now, I'm just curious." I comforted her.

"Prevent anyone from coming in." Ye Diewu said.

I gave Bingying a "look and I'll know" look, and continued to ask: "Sure enough, it's because there are many rare copies hidden here, which are priceless."

"Not only the value. There are things here that far exceed the value of a collection." Ye Diewu uncommonly popped out a whole sentence.

"what does that mean?"

"It's dangerous. I'm afraid someone will get hurt."

"Eh..." This time it was Bingying's turn to be proud.

Could it be that some monster was really sealed?I muttered in my heart.

"Well……"

I couldn't help looking towards the location of the voice, and found Ye Diewu in casual clothes tensing her body desperately, trying to touch the top bookcase.

Surprisingly cute.In other words, she couldn't get it, could she?

It's better to go help her.

Thinking this way, I was just about to reach out, but I inadvertently noticed the subtle unwillingness on her face, and was stunned.

Although it's only a little bit, it's absolutely impossible for me who have been with her for two years to admit this change.I have always been not very good at contacting Ye Diewu, because she is too silent, like a machine is more than a human, and I am also a silent person, so when we are alone, we can only look at each other at most. The only one who can fully understand what she means is probably only the president.

...For a while, I remembered the past between myself and Yue.

I sighed, walked over and hugged her: "That's all right."

Really light.That's the only thought on my mind.

"Here you are." Ye Diewu didn't show any incompetence when I picked her up casually. She quickly pulled out two thick books and handed them to me.

"Well, thank you." I put her back on the ground and tried to respond to her with a president-like smile.

"Hmm." Ye Diewu nodded, returned to the private room and sat down on the desk. There was a book written in a foreign language in front of her. I gave up reading it after just a glance.

Which country's book is that? It's a text I haven't seen at all.I made a small complaint in my heart, and handed one of the books to Bingying, "Here, come and help me to read it."

"Hey? Isn't this from 2010? But isn't what you're looking for a city planning map from 2009?" Bingying asked.

"2009 is here. In short, let's look for it."

In the next 10 minutes, the entire 16th floor maintained a strange calm.

"No, I can't find any Maohua Primary School at all." After a while, Bingying said discouragedly, "Did you remember it wrong?"

"No, not at all." I calmly pointed to the record in my book, "Look, it's here."

"But, the same location here is obviously Moonlight Community? Did I remember wrongly?"

"No, probably not." I shook my head, took the book in Bingying's hand and quickly flipped through it, "Sure enough, it's exactly as I expected."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Bingying approached curiously, while I patiently pointed out the differences in the book for her.

"You see, these places have been replaced in just one year, and there is no plan to change the records at all, which makes people feel strange."

"You mean, witch game?" Bingying immediately noticed my thoughts.

"That's right, on December 2009, 12, the day I was seriously injured, and the witch game held around that time. From the records, it can be seen that Maohua Primary School did not change much until the end of the year, but the city planning map of the following year But it was completely erased, as if it didn't exist in the first place, and there was no shadow of it in the records of the next few years, but no one found something wrong, and the only way to explain it is the power of the witch. It seems that we still I was so lucky, I found a clue the first time. If I went to the police station or something, I would probably only get a message of 'nothing happened' in the end." I said, passive luck MAX finally worked again.

"But, Tianchen, didn't you say that the clue might be in the hands of your ex-girlfriend? If so, how can we find her?" Bingying asked with the emphasis on the word "before".

"I don't know, let's take a step at a time. In short, let's write down these places first, and then search carefully one by one." I suggested.

Chapter 9 Things You Shouldn't Forget

"In short, the places that have changed so far are Maohua Primary School, Tianyi Garden, Qianyue Community and... Yuze Orphanage?" I scratched my head, trying to find the connection between them.

"Well, there should be only these four places. It's really strange. Take the Qianyue community as an example. The housing area was obviously built around November 2009, but now it has become a small forest. What's even more strange is that No one has noticed this at all." Bingying was also lost in thought like me.

"Then, let's go." I put the book back in place and strode towards the exit.

"Hey? Where are you going?" Bingying hurriedly followed.

"Do you still need to ask? Of course, go to the original location of Maohua Primary School. If you don't hurry up, you will be dumped."

"Wait a minute!"

"Then, let's go." I gently waved to the girl walking by the window, "Thanks to you, we found a lot of useful things."

"Well, bye." She replied softly.

When we walked out, the anti-theft door made another piercing scream, and then the mechanical rollers turned, driving the door to close a little bit. Ye Diewu's figure was compressed a little bit in our eyes, and disappeared completely with a muffled sound not see.

Guardian of the seal?It really suits her identity.For no reason, I thought of the rumor I heard from Bingying.No one knows, no one knows, just silently guarding the space of one person, watching the sunrise and sunset every day, and the flowers blooming and withering.

A little, a little sad.
