Chapter 401: The Mysticism Sector in the Library
Chapter 401: The Mysticism Sector in the Library
Subconsciously, he seemed to know more secrets of the campus. No matter what the secrets were, he wanted to know them, just like understanding a mystery that he had never known before, solving a difficult problem that was originally unsolvable...
As for "leaving"...?
Lin Yi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. For a moment just now, he actually gave up the idea of "leaving".
"Just now... I was subconsciously attracted to the campus!"
No matter what attracted him on the campus, it was something that attracted him and made him want to "stay". Once this idea took root in his heart, it would immediately turn into a complex root system, making him take root in the campus like a tree, unable to leave again!
Realizing this, he shuddered suddenly.
He thought that perhaps something was subtly modifying his subconscious, making him no longer resist the campus, no longer resist the world with many incredible majors...
He has grown up so big, why is his major different from others? !
No, Liangzi and his are the same, both are architectural designs.
But why is it that from the boss to Li Huiyuan and the female dormitory manager, they are all majoring in those things that only exist in fantasy imagination... mysticism? !
[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. ]
The first rule of the library came to his mind.
"Got it... Since all the majors are included, why don't I take a look?" Lin Yi thought. Since his memory was modified, it is possible that he did learn it but couldn't remember it. But just like a language, once you learn it, you can do it. Even if you don't speak it at first, you will be able to communicate when you come into contact with people who speak the same language.
"I know how to 'build dreams', so why not go and look at the 'dream boundary studies' first? Maybe I'll remember something!"
Once he made up his mind, Lin Yi immediately set off and began walking towards the surrounding bookshelf area.
"Hey hey hey! Where are you going?" Seeing this, the female dormitory manager panted and chased after him, holding an old kerosene lamp.
"Go read a book!" Lin Yi didn't need to hide anything.
"Wow, you actually read the book?" The female dormitory manager had a weird expression, as if Cao Shaolin, played by Hei Gu, was saying, "I told you to eat, and you actually ate it?"
"Isn't that what the rules say?" Lin Yi asked back, but he didn't stop walking.
The female dormitory manager quickly said, "Don't go too far. The safest thing to do is to wait in the bookshelf area near the counter until the light turns red, and then leave immediately when the security guard arrives."
The female dormitory manager, who had gone to the library twice and escaped unscathed, shared the optimal solution to the question "leave the library".
Lin Yi expressed his respect for the second-time players: "You are right, but I really have things to do."
"Then I won't accompany you..." the girl said, "I'll just be more conservative and wander around here..."
Lin Yi nodded: "Then why don't you just wait at the counter?"
The female dormitory manager's face changed slightly, and she lowered her voice and said, "This is the weirdness of the library... I'm fine in the bookshelf area, but if I do nothing at the counter, I'll hear some calls, urging me to flip through the books or something."
"But once I wandered around the bookshelves, the sound disappeared, regardless of whether I was reading or not."
"So magical?" Lin Yi looked surprised.
The female dormitory manager was speechless and said, "Sister Magic! Wouldn't you be afraid if it were you? Transmitting sound through the void, it's too ethereal!"
"Uh... I'm fine..." Lin Yi unconsciously developed a strange sense of superiority as a high-end player...
"After all, as someone who has experienced the ups and downs of the art building, his horizons have broadened and he has become a little different." Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Then be careful..." The female dormitory manager saw that Lin Yi was indeed in a hurry, so she didn't delay any longer and turned around and walked into the bookshelf area.
The two went their separate ways.
Lin Yi also knew that for someone like the female dormitory manager who only wanted to leave the campus, the best thing to do was to not care about anything.
He originally wanted to be such a person, but something went wrong right after he entered the school. Then, an invisible hand and some completely unknown "force" pushed him step by step to his current point.
Now he is like an arrow on a bowstring, and he is not sure whether the person who put him on the bowstring is the "he" mentioned by the night watchman, or the "they" including him and Master Tian.
But he knew that by tonight, everything would be revealed.
The truth about the modified memory, Mr. Tian's purpose of exploring the campus, why they came here, everything will be revealed.
He glanced down at his watch.
4: 32.
Theoretically speaking, the campus is safe at this point. As soon as the security guard arrives, he will immediately follow the security guard back to the campus, ending this thrilling and long night.
Taking his eyes off the watch, he thought of the rule about time in the Library Rules:
[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, the only way you can find out the time change is to ask the security guard when you arrive at the library.]
"The only way..." Lin Yi fumbled with the watch on his wrist. He knew that the "code" of his watch was above the school rules.
If this watch had not come from a very legitimate source, Lin Yi would have thought it was some kind of extraordinary creation.
But if it is a supernatural creation, how could he have it?
so funny……
Lin Yi shook his head helplessly and walked into the bookshelf area.
The layout of each floor of the library is very similar. Basically, it is centered on a circular counter, with a blank area of nearly ten meters extending outward. The blank area then extends outward to form the bookshelf area.
The extension of the bookshelf area is adapted to the spherical surface inside each floor of the library, and the bookshelves are not rectangular, but shaped like standing tiles. In this way, all the bookshelves are facing the circular counter. Everyone who enters the bookshelf area can use this as a basis to judge whether they are entering the depths of the bookshelf area or returning to the counter.
The bookshelf area on each floor is divided into sectors. Different sectors correspond to different majors. Looking out from the counter and along the spherical surface to the top of the head, it is like looking at a ball that is equally divided and colored.
Of course, the sectors of the library are not equally divided. Outside the bookshelf area, there is a distribution map indicating the corresponding majors of the bookshelves in each sector.
There are many divisions in those sectors, roughly as follows: [Mystery Genealogy (Mysteriek genealogikk)], [Astrology (Astrologi)], [Hemmelig mnster-lre], [Dreamology (Drmmelre)], [Forging (Smedkunst)], [Word Spirits (Sprkndelre)], [Ritualleie]... [Others], and [Historical Academic Literature (Akademiske dokumenter innenfor historie)].
……
In addition to the [Other] category, there is actually an independent sector named: [Historical Academic Documents].
When Lin Yi saw this, he was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt confused.
Logically speaking, apart from things that need to be categorized, shouldn't everything be classified into the "other" category? Why is there a section for "historical academic documents"?
"It's a little bit weird..."
Lin Yi muttered to himself, and with a hint of exploration, he stopped walking towards the "Dream Studies" sector and quickly walked towards the "Historical Academic Documents" sector.
The color of that sector was sky blue, the same color as the walls of the kindergarten. After Lin Yi arrived, he went in without hesitation.
A minute later, he walked out of the sector, scratching his head, with a head full of question marks on his forehead like a Buddha.
"What's going on..."
There was a rare clear stupidity in his eyes that was rare in a college student.
He turned and looked at the name of the sector.
【Historical Academic Literature】
He touched his head, with a look of "can't say anything" on his face.
This section of historical academic documents is filled with unorganized books. Those books are all books that can be found in ordinary libraries, such as famous works such as "Journey to the West" and "One Hundred Years of Solitude", some books on humanities and geography, and some very serious comics and novels.
The books on the bookshelves in the teaching building are basically these books.
Very "normal".
But putting it here is extremely abnormal.
He seemed to have guessed something, and rushed into the [Esoteric Pattern Studies] sector next to the [Historical Academic Documents] sector.
In less than ten seconds, he retreated from the [Secret Pattern Studies] sector with a very strange look on his face.
The books in the secret pattern section are very mysterious, such as "The Secret of Secret Pattern: Sanxingdui Totem and the Origin of the Universe", "Secret Pattern Totem: The Mysterious Journey of the Aztecs", etc.
But why are the books in this historical academic literature section not “historical” at all?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. But at this moment, the female dormitory manager came out from the bookshelf area.
"Wow, you followed me?!" The female dormitory manager was shocked.
"Ah?" Lin Yi was also a little stunned. He pointed to the astrology sector not far away and asked in confusion: "Aren't you over there? Why are you here?"
The female dormitory manager had a look of disdain on her face and crossed her arms over her chest: "I just wanted to sneak away from you, but I didn't expect you to have such a keen nose. You could even catch up with me?"
"I'm just taking a walk, don't take it for granted." Lin Yi said speechlessly, "What are you doing here?"
The female dormitory said: "Among all the books in the library, only the books in this section will not affect inspiration. Of course I came here to read. Otherwise, what should I do? Read books and wait for myself to go insane?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Yi was a little surprised. This female dormitory manager actually talked about inspiration directly. Could it be that all the people in this group who entered the school vaguely knew some problems in the campus?
Knowing there are problems, why do you still want to try it?
And now you're thinking about leaving campus?
Is not this contradictory?
Then what are you here for?
The female dormitory manager looked at Lin Yi's face and asked in confusion: "Strange, you really don't know? Are all those who practice 'Dream Building' like this? I think I understand... The teacher once mentioned that dream builders often use some kind of fictional reality to anchor themselves. You are not the same, are you?"
"Ah? What do you mean by fictional reality?" Lin Yi was a little confused.
The female host said: "I don't really understand it either. Anyway, it is a kind of anchor point that people build to escape from dreams. This anchor point is anchored by all dream builders, so it is called 'fictional reality'... The deeper a person is trapped in a dream, the more they believe in the existence of fictional reality."
"These books are all things that exist in 'fictional reality'..."
"Ah? 'Fictional reality'... If it's fictional, why are there so many real books? Do they have to be made up on the spot?" Lin Yi became more and more confused. He knew those books, but he didn't read them much because he didn't like them.
The female dormitory manager looked at Lin Yi suspiciously, and then said, "Of course, there is no need to make up something. All the books here are real historical facts. However, since the catastrophe in X999, there has been a break in the 'historical track'. To use the words in the textbook, 'the civilization in the water has gradually surfaced'."
"If there hadn't been that major event, or if the outbreak of that major event had been strangled, human history would have continued along the established trajectory for a while, perhaps hundreds or thousands of years... But now, the supernatural is gradually infiltrating reality from the higher dimensions, and the wheels of civilization have been bounced off by a stone, and then deviated from the trajectory."
"The dream builders have all anchored a 'fictional reality' where the timeline progresses normally and there are no weird things. They firmly believe that they grew up in that real 'reality'. Then, whenever they encounter a crisis while building a dream, they can use this anchor to pull themselves out of danger."
"No... Aren't you playing Dream Builder? Why do you need me to explain this to you? Are you lying to me? Are you a fake Dream Builder?"
Lin Yi's mouth twitched. "Your doubt is too strong, isn't it? Does your astrology really allow you to 'observe the celestial phenomena tonight and know the major events in the world'?"
The female dormitory manager nodded: "I can..."
Lin Yi: “…”
The female dormitory manager stuck out her tongue and said, "Well... not all of them, but I know a little bit."
Lin Yi: “…”
No, Azhen, are you serious?
The female dormitory manager nudged Lin Yi and said, "You're really not. Although everyone signed a confidentiality agreement when they entered the school, do you have to act so realistically?"
Lin Yi was sweating profusely, and couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead to hide his embarrassment. No way, there is a fucking confidentiality agreement? Is this ridiculous? How come I don't know anything?
Am I the one who slipped through the confidentiality agreement? !
