Standing in front of the vast ocean of knowledge, you can always realize your own insignificance, and the so-called well-read books are just touching the edge of the magnificent universe, and the humility and amazement in the heart are spontaneously born, and if you are not careful, you will be lost in the majestic unknown.

Hodden must admit that he likes the process of reading, using his eyes and brain to follow the author's words, exploring the boundaries of the continent and exploring the abyss of truth, and at the same time, groping the author's thoughts, the collision between ideas and words can always burst out with infinite sparks.

With their heads down, they can look into the abyss, and with their heads up, they can explore the universe. In this way, the greatness and insignificance of human beings exist paradoxically.

Because Professor Desimas only gave Hoden a week of private reading time, Hoden took the initiative to inform Nair and explain the ins and outs, and after the normal class every day, Hoden would go to Professor Desimas's office to read, and wait for nine o'clock before leaving home.

Although Nair was still a little worried, Issa's matter had not been long over, he nodded in agreement, because he also hoped that Hoden would be able to divert his attention and not immerse himself in sadness and darkness, since Hoden was willing to put effort into studying, then he had no reason to refuse.

In the past few days, Nair has always been a little apprehensive, but Hodden also took the initiative to borrow some books from the college library that the Enlightener taught himself to become a psyker, encouraging Nair to read and study with him, and said that he was willing to answer Nair's doubts at any time, looking forward to Nair's progress.

Moreover, Nair can also see that when Hoden returns from school every day, he must carry a strange book, which obviously cannot come from the Iwabuchi Library, which once again confirms Hoden's statement that he is studying in Professor Desimas's private library, and his worries have calmed down.

Gradually, Nair's attention shifted, and life returned to normal.

Holden's life has entered a different kind of track.

Hoden wasn't lying about learning psionic circles and potions, it was really what he was interested in, and it was the best way to make the most of his abilities, including semiotics and cryptography, which were important additions to the development of the Transcendental Path.

At least, in Hoden's opinion.

In addition, Hodden also read a lot of "miscellaneous books", about Mattigan-Stinson, about the explosion of the Grey Cliffs, about myths and legends...... While there isn't much directly valid information, it does provide an opportunity to expand his horizons and allow Hoden to delve deeper into the continent beneath his feet.

Standing up straight, Horden returned the book in his hand to the shelf—

His time is limited, it is impossible to read all the books in the office, even if he can't read them, not to mention only seven days, I'm afraid even seven hundred days is still a little difficult, I always feel that those books on the shelves seem to have vitality, a steady stream of automatic generation, no matter how you look at it, you can't finish it.

Therefore, Hodden needs to sift through and choose, and he can't always think about reading every book carefully, although Professor Decimas's collection is indeed very interesting, all kinds of strange books are like a constant source of treasures, it seems that each book can be excavated differently, compared to the Iwabuchi Library and the College Library, it seems that each book here has its own "personality", waiting to be explored.

From the perspective of reading, Hoden really hopes to be able to read each book slowly, but time does not allow, and a direction and goal are extremely important, so as to help Hoden find the right way forward in the vast ocean of knowledge, and not be completely lost in nothingness.

Now, Hoden is in the middle of the process.

"This ...... Well, it's interesting, but can wait a little longer......"

"Uh...... I've seen a similar one before, but it's a little different, well, flipping through the table of contents......"

"Ah, this ...... No, no, it's not appropriate......"

Hodden stuffed the book back in his hand again, forcing himself to temporarily curb his curiosity, but still need to stay focused, and was about to take a step out of this corner, but his eyes fell on the bookshelf on the left-hand side:

It's kind of weird.

But what is strange in the exact, I can't say it for a while.

Is it a delusion?

Howlen stood there and took a closer look: this was a very ordinary corner of the bookshelf, just as stuffed with books, just as dusty, and just as haphazardly sorted, so disorganized that it was impossible to find the context, and it didn't look any different from the other bookshelves.

But......

Horden's pupils shrank slightly, could it be that these book titles are the symbols of the psionic circle?

From the point of view of bookshelves and books, there is really nothing out of the ordinary, and it is a very mediocre corner that does not even want to make any stops in this corner, as if ...... It's as if he didn't have any interest in the books here—just now Hoden was ready to skip this corner.

But it was precisely because of his lack of concern that Hoden's suspicions were aroused: he was trying to dig up the books hidden in this private library, but he did not show any interest in a corner of the shelf?

So, what went wrong?

Calm down and take a closer look, but Hoden doesn't get anything, so what exactly is the anomaly?

Howlen was completely focused, from the big picture to the details, and then found that the name of the book seemed to hide some secrets, Hodden thought carefully for a moment, and then deconstructed according to the psionic symbols of the hidden circle, and found the corresponding symbols on the name of the book one after another.

Psionic Circle?

Howlen's fingertips flicked slightly, and one by one psionic symbols were lit up like this, and finally they were all connected in series-

Syllable.

It's like pulling a lamp, and the corners of the bookshelf are slightly brighter, but you can't find the light source, and then ...... And then there was no change, nothing happened, but was there really nothing that changed?

Apparently not.

The cover and name of the book have changed, but because the color and thickness are very similar, it is difficult to accurately identify the subtle changes. Is this Professor Decimus's secret collection? So, should he not read it?

"A Call from the Abyss".

Before turning to leave, Holden noticed the most inconspicuous thick black book in the corner at a glance, the gilt font seemed low-key and quaint, but it could not escape Holden's sight, and he vaguely felt that the book seemed to be hiding some secret, and before his brain could react, his right hand had taken the book off the shelf.

There was no author's name, no extra information, just a title, and then, Hoden opened the cover, and his eyes couldn't help but light up slightly:

Got it!
