Chapter 400 Library Rules

Lin Yi immediately reached out and took down a copy of the "Library Rules".

This "Library Guidelines" is a green folded card that looks like a tourist guide, but it feels very textured, like a high-end and classy invitation.

There are gold-plated patterns on the cardboard cover, which look like the pattern and symbol of a clock tower, and on the edge is a wreath of thorns. Inside the wreath are the five big words "Library Rules".

Lin Yi took a quick glance at it and then slowly opened it.

After opening it, there is a title page with only one sentence on it:

"Knowledge is the most terrible curse. May the endless sea of ​​knowledge not be able to trap the free soul."

Lin Yi's heart trembled, and he quickly continued to read:

"Library Rules:"

"This code applies to everyone who enters the library."

"The library is one of the areas with the highest rate of getting lost on campus, but the conditions for getting there are quite strict. When you arrive at the library, you must have known the particularity of this area and some precautions. This also means that you will be fully responsible for the consequences of some subsequent actions."

"Based on the principle of never abandoning or giving up, our school will continue to provide you with adequate shelter until you are completely lost or it is confirmed that you cannot return."

"In order to reduce the difficulty of our staff's work, please abide by the following rules:"

"1. Our school library contains books on all professional courses around the world. You can browse any book while ensuring your own safety until the light in the library turns red."

“Regarding the books in the library, please follow the three rules of not touching:

Don’t touch a book whose cover turns green;
Don’t touch books whose pages smell strange;
H comics are not to be touched. "

"If you see H-manga, tell yourself that there is no H-manga. Those are serious comics. Do not touch them and stay away from them immediately."

“2. Due to regional issues, the library cannot provide sufficient electricity. The farther away from the axis area, the dimmer the light. Please try to stay close to the axis area during activities, and stay away from dark areas, especially places without light sources.”

"Dark areas do not belong in the library."

"3. There is an independent elevator inside the library. There is no "forbidden" sign on the elevator. Generally, it is forbidden to use the elevator marked with the word "forbidden"."

"When taking the elevator up or down, if you see a thin mist in the air after the elevator door opens, please do not leave the elevator. Wait until the elevator closes and goes down to the next floor before leaving."

"If you don't see any unusual aura, you can move freely."

"4. On any floor, if you notice changes in the surrounding environment while moving, such as the light starts to dim or there is wind or fog in the air, please stop whatever you are doing and observe whether the situation still exists. If not, you can continue. If the situation still exists and starts to deteriorate, please return immediately."

"Ignore any calls."

“5. When reading, don’t scribble on the book. If you see small pieces of paper falling out of the book, don’t believe their contents, they are written by others. Just put them back into the book.”

“When you meet other people, please be aware that:
Don't pay attention to other people's opinions;
Don’t talk to strangers, not even the librarian;
You can trust the librarian’s words, but don’t accept any of his requests;”

“6. There is no clock in the library. If you see anything that can reflect time, please ignore it and don’t be affected by its running time.”

"The time is not accurate and the only way you can find out about the time change is to ask the security guard when you arrive at the library."

“7. The collections in the library are not limited to the books, but usually you cannot reach other collection areas.”

“You have to know the difference between the collection area and the shelf area to determine whether you are at risk.”

“When you are reading and find sculptures appearing around you, don’t panic, you are still in the bookshelf area, and the sculptures are just a prank, just ignore them and leave in time.”

“8. If you find that you have accidentally arrived at the collection area, please quickly return to the bookshelf area before the last bookshelf fades out of sight, and do not be distracted by any collection in the collection area.”

“9. At any time, when the light in the library turns red, please be sure to follow the guidance of the red light and go to the counter on the first floor to prepare to leave the library.”

“10. Everything in the library belongs to the library.”

"Before leaving the library area, please make sure that all items belonging to the library have been returned, including but not limited to books, bookmarks, pendants, etc. If they are not returned in time, please inform the librarian as soon as possible and listen to his arrangements."

"If you forget to tell the librarian, you can always confess to the security guard on your way out. That's your last chance."

“11. After arriving at the counter, please be patient. The security guard will arrive within 15 minutes after the red light turns on. Please leave your floor and go to the first floor during this time. When you meet the security guard, please trust him unconditionally and follow him closely. He will take you out of the library.”

"You can stay in this area for a maximum of two red lights. When the red light appears for the third time, you must leave the library."

“12. If you lose track of time because you are so engrossed in reading, please put the book back on the shelf as soon as you realize this has happened and go to the counter on the first floor. Wait for the librarian to appear and he will tell you what to do next.”

"If you cannot reach the counter on the first floor and cannot confirm your location, please tear off the dotted page of this code, hold the card in your hand, stay away from the bookshelf, and wait for the patrolling librarian to arrive. He will tell you what to do next."

"13. If you violate more rules, please do not look for the librarian. Before you lose your mind, find the elevator marked with the word 'forbidden', throw your ID into the trash bag at the elevator entrance and enter it. Wait for the elevator to run to any other area before leaving."

"You're about to start a whole new life (better not)."

"Dear classmates, I hope the endless sea of ​​consciousness cannot trap the free soul. I wish you good luck."

The "Library Rules" was over, but Lin Yi found that he could continue to turn the pages. As soon as he turned it, he found that there were two separate sentences on the last page:

“14. The curator is a dangerously good man.”

"15. Be careful of the curator."

There is something wrong with the handwriting of these last two sentences, they were written by hand.

Lin Yi quickly folded this one, then turned to the last page. As a result, he still saw the handwritten words on the last page.

"Strange..." He frowned, "Why have I never heard Lao Mo say that there is another director in the library?"

"And this word... doesn't seem to be specially written behind each rule. It seems to have been there when it was made."

He held the two-point rule in his hand and frowned slightly.

The female dormitory manager came to his side at this time, glanced at the "Library Rules", and said: "The handwriting is very strange..." "I can see it." Lin Yi said.

The female dormitory manager rolled her eyes: "Then are you still going to listen?"

"I'm sorry, my voice was a little loud just now, please go on." Lin Yi is flexible.

The female dormitory said: "I heard from the librarian that this was modified by a former librarian with the director's consent, and then this copy was used."

"But... I also heard that normally we don't meet the director at all... The director of the library doesn't seem to be in the library even though he's the director."

Lin Yi nodded. He could understand this. After all, this was a consistent feature of S City University: the canteen owner was not in the canteen, and the principal was not on campus.

Now add to that the library director is not in the library.

It's so cool, it's just like the belt and card of Kamen Rider are packaged separately.

Seeing that Lin Yi seemed to be thinking about something, the female dormitory manager asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Yi glanced at her, fumbled with the "Library Rules" in his hand, and said thoughtfully: "I'm thinking about something."

"What's there to think about? Just walk around here and wait for the security guard to take us away!" The female dormitory manager spread her hands, looking very familiar with the place.

Lin Yi was surprised and asked: "From your tone, it seems that you are still a habitual offender?"

"Ni Zou Kai! What do you mean by a repeat offender? I just have experience, okay? This is only my third time here!" the female dormitory manager corrected seriously.

"The third time..." Lin Yi's expression suddenly became strange. "You entered the school on the 7th... Although it is the 10th now, it is the night of the 9th. So, you, the unlucky little guy, have been the dormitory manager since the 7th, and until today?"

"You haven't slept yet?"

Upon hearing this, the female dormitory manager drooped her head like a cat and sighed sadly: "I haven't slept yet..."

"You have great energy..."

"It may have something to do with my energy!" The female dormitory manager smiled bitterly. "When I hold this lamp, I won't feel tired. On the second day, I will feel more energetic... But I can't get over the hurdle in my heart if I don't sleep."

She touched her face and sighed, "I haven't taken care of my skin these days, and my skin has become dry..."

Lin Yi did not have professional knowledge in this area, so he could only keep silent and silently turn his attention back to the "Library Regulations".

Old Mo once clearly hinted that the librarian can be trusted, but the librarian will invite him to become the new librarian... This is consistent with the "Library Code" that mentions not to accept the librarian's invitation.

But if library administrators emerge through the older generation inviting the new generation, then how did the first generation of librarians come about?

Apart from that, he could understand a lot of other rules with his current knowledge.

For example, the lighting problem in the library is no different from the lighting in other places on campus. In any case, it is safe only when there is light, and the darker it is, the more dangerous it is.

He suspected that where there was no light, there would be some problems with the layers.

The elevator problem is easier to understand. The elevators in the "Forbidden" series run through the campus rather than the library.

As for the foggy ones.

There will definitely be no fog inside the library. Once fog appears, it means that the layer you are in is beginning to change, so you just need to realize it in time and leave. The sense of boundary between the collection area and the bookshelf area is basically a layer concept.

This may be related to the location of the library itself, but Lin Yi is still unable to grasp the logic behind it.

What really cheered him up was the book classification and small pieces of paper mentioned in the rules.

[Our school library contains books on all professional courses around the world]

He was quite interested. This sentence meant that he could find those magical books related to professional courses here.

Even though he knows nothing about it, can't he read a magazine selling cars if he doesn't know how to drive?
Who stipulates that only those within the field can read the corresponding books?
And the little piece of paper...

He believes that the information on the small piece of paper is the most informative. You don't have to believe it, but there is no harm in understanding it.

In addition, there are two other things he is more concerned about. First, when the red light in the library turns on, it is a signal to evacuate...

Looking throughout the entire campus, there was only one place where a red light appeared - the canteen!

"So, there is actually a red light on campus! The light means safety, but what does red mean? Does it just mean security is here?"

"Is this a signal to evacuate?"

Lin Yi felt that the possibility of an evacuation signal was greater. After all, after the red light of the convenience store came on, night walkers poured in from outside the door. In a sense, it was also telling the people inside that it was time to leave.

This has a similar meaning to what you should do when the security guard comes to the library.

Apart from that, the biggest problem is H comics.

【Don’t touch H comics. 】

[If you see H comics, tell yourself that there are no H comics. Those are serious comics. Do not touch them and stay away from them immediately. ]

Lin Yi naturally knew what H-manga stood for. It was a medium used by art students to convey information!
"Does the meaning of not touching H-manga mean that people who enter the library might accidentally learn things they shouldn't know?"

Lin Yi touched his chin. With his current knowledge, he could only come to this guess. However, if this was the case, then he could actually read H comics.

"Are the books on the bookshelf at the back of the classroom all moved from the library? If so..." Lin Yi had been thinking about the "classic" that Tian Bufan mentioned. Maybe he could find it in the library.

As for the rest of the rules about what would happen if they were violated, he just paid some attention and didn't care too much. The consequences of violating the rules were nothing more than turning into a fake person, degenerating into a nocturnal creature, turning into a laughing angel, etc...

After seeing it, there is not much relative fear left.

Compared to the fear he felt when he first entered the school, he had adapted to the school a lot. His fear had greatly decreased, and his desire to explore had increased...
