Chapter 504: Letter of Acceptance
Chapter 504: Letter of Acceptance
"Although I'm not very sure..." Lu Zhao spoke slowly, and the three of them pricked up their ears to listen, "But judging from what Xiao Jin encountered, these books are very likely to be 'Cheng Yu Tie', also known as 'Yin Yang Book'."
Chen Bing and Chen Xue looked at each other, both somewhat puzzled, as if they did not understand this concept.
"A letter of acceptance? Yin-Yang book?" Only Jin Jiuyao looked stern, as if he had thought of something, "The kind of carrier that transmits information through layers?"
Chen Xue asked, "What is this letter of acceptance? Why does it sound familiar?"
Lu Zhao was about to explain, but seeing Jin Jiuyao seemed to be hesitant to speak, he said, "If you want to show off so much, you come and explain."
Jin Jiuyao smiled: "Hehe, okay."
"The Yin-Yang Book means that what is written in the Yang Book can be shown in the Yin Book."
"The Yin Book can be one book or many books. Because it was originally invented by the "Oracle", it was called Chengyu Tie. But because one end sent orders and many ends received them, it was later called the "Yin Yang Book." "
Hearing this, Chen Xue suddenly realized: "Oh! When you said "Oracle", I remembered it. My teacher mentioned it before, but I didn't remember it because it was not a test point. I just listened to it as anecdotal history..."
Lu Zhao nodded. Since it was mentioned, he would say a few more words: "The earliest record of the Edict appeared in the Code. Legend has it that it was created by a being called "Oracle" among the "First Apostles" to facilitate his companions' exploration of the Black Sea."
"The method of making the Chengyu Tie has been recorded in many channels, but it needs layers as a medium to convey information, and layers are not a simple concept. Often only those who have entered the extraordinary realm are qualified to touch the concept of layers, and those who have this ability in ancient times are often priests and wizards. Of course, in the era of the "First Apostle", these concepts did not even germinate."
"So, the Chengyu Tie is only used in a small range... and in a large range, although it still exists, it is included in the list of 'prohibited items'."
Lu Zhao paused, and then continued, "There are a lot of layer fluctuations on the campus, and electronic equipment cannot be used normally. People in the Art Building must rely on Chengyu Tie to maintain a certain communication with the campus... So it's not surprising that Chengyu Tie appeared in the bookshelf area, but... I always feel that there is something wrong."
"Let me sort it out first..." Lu Zhao said with a frown.
Chen Xue hesitated and asked, "What did you think of?"
Lu Zhao did not answer, but just thought silently.
Chen Xue muttered quietly: "Since the letter of acceptance is used to convey information, why not give it directly to the person who needs the information?"
Jin Jiuyao came out to explain: "Because of the layers! Just like you need to connect your computer to the Internet with a network cable, the layers are no exception. According to the basic law of layers proposed by the "Time Gambler", infinite layers overlap the same time and space, and there must be sufficiently stable coordinates to achieve accurate transmission of information..."
"And S City University collected the Yang books of the letter of appointment through the library, and distributed the Yin books to various classrooms and even teachers' offices, thus achieving a closed loop of information flow..."
Jin Jiuyao's eyes showed a trace of admiration. "It must be said that the builders of the campus were really amazing. The architects, the dream builders, and the legendary principal... They were able to build a shelter from scratch like a school. The amount of work was really horrible."
Chen Xue remained silent. The campus was built in X999. People of their age could only vaguely feel the roughness and terror of that era, but they couldn't describe it in more detail.
As for this, she could not resonate much except to admire it twice.
At this time, Lu Zhao was denying himself.
"It shouldn't be..."
His fingers drummed on the seat handles.
"Even if it's a letter of acceptance, it's impossible for the information to disappear after reading it..."
He gently stroked the few empty books that Jin Jiuyao had brought with him, his frowned brows like a hemp rope.
"unless……"
"'Unless'...?" Upon hearing this, the three of them stopped discussing and looked at Lu Zhao.
Lu Zhao gently rubbed his twisted brows and slowly exhaled: "Unless... the Yin Book of the Letter of Instruction alone can no longer carry the information it can present. From the moment the book was opened, the information had already begun to dissipate."
"So that information becomes disposable, like a toy stick with the blocking piece pulled out."
He looked at a few people.
"No, Old Jin, why are you looking at us?" Jin Jiuyao felt a little uncomfortable.
"I don't need that thing." Chen Xue also said quickly.
Lu Zhao was speechless for a moment, then coughed dryly: "I was just pausing for a moment... Why are you reacting so strongly? And I'm talking about the kind of toy stick with button batteries that glows that my daughter likes to play with the most. What do you think it is?"
Lu Zhao was afraid that the more he explained, the worse it would get, so he quickly explained in detail.
Chen Xue's expression was calm: "That's what I'm talking about, right, sister."
Chen Bing's mouth twitched fiercely. She said coldly, being very frugal with words, "Don't drag me into this. Just keep listening to Old Lu."
"So...what's the problem?"
Because Jin Jiuyao and her sister both focused on strange things, the responsibility of correcting the topic fell on her shoulders.
Old Lu said slowly: "I don't know where the problem lies. It is very likely related to the content of those books. It would be best if I could see the contents of the books with my own eyes."
What kind of information is it that even the letter of acceptance cannot fully convey?
"Maybe you're overthinking it. It's not that the letter of acceptance cannot contain the contents, but that the thing can only be viewed once?" Jin Jiuyao guessed, "Someone left these things behind, specifically for special people... or 'weird things' to see."
As he said this, he glanced at Lin Yi deliberately.
"Have you forgotten that that guy doesn't exist at all! If that's the case, then these letters of instruction are specially left for them to read? Maybe they are some kind of trap to kill them, or something to stabilize their condition and keep them harmless for a while..."
"None of this can be confirmed before seeing the contents of the book..." Lu Zhao shook his head with some regret.
Jin Jiuyao became more interested after listening to this: "How about we look for similar books?"
Lu Zhao quickly interrupted his thoughts: "You'd better not have such thoughts. Now is not the time to make trouble."
Lu Zhao was really a little panicked. This guy Jin Jiuyao had shown his curiosity about Lin Yi many times today, and this strange curiosity continued to ferment and became a little fanatical.
He was very worried that Jin Jiuyao would neglect his duties and forget his mission.
The organization really should learn from the official authorities and come up with some kind of mission code for people like Jin Jiuyao to memorize... He sometimes couldn't help but think so.
"I still say the same thing. We can keep observing, but everything must be based on completing the mission." Lu Zhao repeatedly emphasized, hoping to put some small stamp on Jin Jiuyao's thinking. "As for investigating Xiao Zi and William..."
"I just heard William calling Xiao Zi something like 'Laolin'..." Jin Jiuyao muttered.
Lu Zhao was speechless and said, "'Laolin' could be a foreign name, and 'Lianzi' could be a nickname, just like you call me 'Lao Lu'. Am I called 'Lao Lu'?" "I can be Lu Zhao or Lao Lu, and Xiao Zi can be Xiao Zi or Lao Lin, but no matter which one it is, their names are not on the sign-in list, right?"
"Besides, why do you care so much about what others are shouting?"
Jin Jiuyao pouted in frustration, but because he had already known that "it couldn't be a fake name", he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Lu Zhao said.
"Okay, let's leave it at that for now..." Lu Zhao sighed, "Return the book..."
"I understand." Jin Jiuyao spread his hands helplessly.
Lu Zhao followed up with a sentence: "Let me remind you, don't think about rummaging around in the bookshelf area by yourself. If something happens to you, it will have a huge impact on the team. Do you understand?"
"I understand..." Jin Jiuyao was helpless +1
"Xiaoxue, follow up... Keep an eye on him. If anything happens to him, protect him immediately. Don't make any stupid mistakes before we take action."
"Okay." Chen Xue nodded seriously.
Lu Zhao stopped talking and opened the map again to study it.
He studied very seriously, but others didn't know what he was studying. It seemed that he could turn out something new from that small map.
Jin Jiuyao was not in a hurry to return the books. Instead, he rested his cheek on the dark books, wondering what he was thinking about.
Suddenly an idea struck him: "Hey!"
"No, just sit down obediently." Chen Xue looked at Jin Jiuyao's expression that said "I'll go make you a bowl of Tieniu beef noodles" and interrupted his spell in a domineering manner.
Jin Jiuyao could only stay where he was, watching Lin Yi's movements silently with his eyes.
……
On the other side, Lin Yi came to Wei Liang with a few secret books of imperial edicts, and handed him "The 26-Year-Old Female Tenant in Hokkaido".
"Here, your book."
Wei Liang poked half of his head out and glanced at him, then reached out and took the book: "Hey, this is it... Lao Lin, how are you finding the book you wanted?"
"Here, my book."
Lin Yi slammed the book in front of Wei Liang, and the noise was like dropping a pile of bricks. Wei Liang was so scared that he quickly held on to the unreliable folding table and said, "Old Lin, be careful and don't damage public property!"
Lin Yi handed over a book: "Liangzi, take a look at this."
Wei Liang glanced at the book, took it with a strange look on his face, and then flipped through it. Finally, he couldn't help but said, "I don't like this."
Lin Yi asked: "Don't you think there is something wrong with this book?"
Wei Liang rolled his eyes: "These are novels written by others, it's normal to have some problems..."
"But the words on these books will disappear!" Lin Yi said seriously.
"Disappear?" Wei Liang was stunned. "Is it the kind of disappearance I understand? The biubiubiu kind?"
"It's not biubiubiu, it's the kind that turns transparent... Look, look! It's coming again!" Lin Yi pointed at the book in Wei Liang's hand and exclaimed in a low voice.
"Oh my god!" Wei Liang opened his eyes wide, "It really disappeared! I knew there was something wrong!"
Lin Yi's eyes lit up when he heard that, but he thought Wei Liang was finally going to say something to hide, but instead he heard Wei Liang gritted his teeth and slammed the H comic in his hand heavily on Lin Yi's thigh!
"Snapped!"
"Hiss——" Lin Yiteng's face was distorted.
Wei Liang was indignant: "I was saying that there were always some key points left blank in the comics I read. It turned out that the printing quality of the book was not up to standard, causing me to miss so many exciting plots! It's really abominable!"
"No, Liangzi...is this all you want to say?" Lin Yi didn't know what to say.
"Yeah." Wei Liang nodded seriously, then pointed to the pendulum clock on the wall, "It's almost 20:00, take a break, Lao Lin, we will be going back to the dormitory soon. If you have anything to ask, just ask Master Tian."
Wei Liang's rare serious expression startled Lin Yi's heart, as if he had foreseen something.
But the next moment Wei Liang burst his fantasy. He smiled and opened the book "The 26-Year-Old Female Tenant in Hokkaido" and began to read it happily, muttering something like there was not enough time and he could not read much.
Lin Yi wanted to say something several times, but seeing that Wei Liang was still evasive, he had no choice but to open the borrowed book.
But at this moment, he caught the conversation between Lu Zhao and Jin Jiuyao...
"A letter of acceptance? A book of yin and yang?"
"So this is how homeroom teachers exchange information?"
"But... since the letter of acceptance can convey information, does it require manpower to convey information between the homeroom teacher and many units?"
"Is it just because of the instability of the layer?"
As for Lu Zhao's curiosity about the contents of the book, he also knew clearly that there were indeed big problems with these contents. If Lu Zhao and others saw them, with their knowledge reserves, they might be able to obtain more information than him.
"Would you like to...get them a copy?"
Suddenly, this thought flashed through Lin Yi's mind.
Since he had no way to get enough information from it, perhaps he could think of a solution from Lu Zhao and the others?
After all, there are a lot of books of this kind in the bookshelf area, and he doesn't have so much time to experience them one by one.
He glanced at the pendulum clock on the wall.
19: 47.
According to the plan, they would set out for the dormitory around 20:20. Before that, they needed to say hello to their class teacher - 040, and then meet up with Wei Shan. As time went by, he basically had to appear in the corridor around 20:00 waiting for Wei Shan.
And now in this corridor... it is the world of the Forest of Dead Steles.
"It's not easy..." Lin Yi rubbed his temple and turned to look out the window.
The rain outside the window was getting heavier, and the marks left by the heavy rain on the glass looked like scars scratched on flesh by hideous nails.
