Weird Stories: Gothic Lolita Begins

Seeing that the three had no other questions, Night Crow suggested:

"There is a city below. The 'Gods Space' teleported us to this location. It should not be aimless. Let's go down and take a look?"

The three had no objection to this.

It's 72 hours. We can't just float here without any achievements.

...

The sticky darkness is like a substance, reluctantly retreating under the sunlight.

Compared with the normal lightless environment, the range that the small light ball can illuminate is extremely limited, and it is strangely clear at the border.

The crowd descended more than a thousand meters cautiously, and the outline of the artificial building finally appeared at the border illuminated by the small light ball.

"Is this... cement material?" He Ping asked in surprise.

"It's cement." Night Crow nodded affirmatively, "The technological level of this planet is roughly equivalent to the early information age of the Green Star Federation. There are some differences in details, but it's basically the same."

What I saw seemed to be the top of a large building, and the cement-cast platform looked a little rough.

When Lenari's dark power was deployed before, most of the things on Vilen that were immersed in darkness had been included in the dark domain's information database.

After a little divination, Night Crow said confidently: "This is the largest library in the former civilization capital of Vilen. It turns out that the location chosen by the 'Gods Space' is meaningful."

"'He' has always been like this." Frederick said calmly.

Night Crow raised his eyebrows, but did not intend to continue this topic.

"The entrance is over there." She pointed in a direction and said.

...

The overall framework of this library building is still intact, but the doors, windows, partitions, counters, bookcases and other facilities are already dilapidated, and there are traces of smoke and fire everywhere.

Not long after crossing the doorless gate, Feminis looked at the various books scattered on the ground and stopped vigilantly.

"It's very wrong." She frowned and looked serious. "Those bookshelves are burnt and rotten. It's impossible for normal paper books to be well preserved. Moreover, their covers are all blank."

"Obviously." Night Crow said, leaving the small light ball in place, walked to the edge of the bright area under the disapproving eyes of the three people, bent down and picked up a book at random.

"These books have been contaminated by something, but I'm not sure if it's the library's problem or the book's problem, or, it's the 'knowledge' itself."

Night Crow said, carefully turning the book in his hand while ensuring that the three people could not see the content of the book.

The opened pages were blank, with nothing but the original color of the paper material.

Night Crow stroked the blank pages, thinking.

Just when Feminis, with a slightly tense expression, wanted to ask something, Night Crow suddenly extended his mental power and immersed it in the blank book.

A chaotic light and shadow flashed by, and there were faint layers of sharp roars. Then, a strange and chaotic information flow poured into Night Crow's mind.

The disordered information flow contained a language that Night Crow did not recognize, and contained a piece of real knowledge.

The content of that knowledge was...

"100 Nutritious and Delicious Home Cooking Recipes".

"..." Night Crow closed the book expressionlessly.

"How do you feel?" Feminis couldn't help asking.

"I'm fine, I'm just hungry..."

"......?"

Finding that Feminis's puzzled eyes were tinged with a bit of vigilance, Night Crow explained: "The title of this book is "100 Nutritious and Delicious Home Cooking Recipes", the kind with high-definition color pictures, and it just so happens that I like food, so..."

"... Understandable." Feminis's mouth twitched slightly.

"So, what is the problem?" Frederick asked.

"It's 'recorded knowledge'." Night Crow said, "If my divination is correct, the 'knowledge' recorded in various forms of 'books' throughout the entire Vilen Star, whether correct or wrong, has been contaminated."

"It sounds weird..." Heping said, "What about the knowledge in the memory of creatures?"

Night Crow shook his head: "I don't know, there are no living things on this planet... We can't turn off the sun to try."

"Actually, I don't mind trying..." Heping said, looking a little eager to try.

"Okay, but remember to leave the 'munitions' you carry before trying." Night Crow said, "I don't want to fight with a weird thing that carries a lot of nuclear bombs."
