The strange itching sensation on his face made Zhou Li wake up from the nightmare of 'being drowned in a sea of books' and open his eyes blankly.

In front of him, Lu Xiaoshui was grabbing his hair, snickering lightly on Zhou Li's face.

Sleepy groaned, Zhou Li got up from a pile of books, and couldn't help yawning: "Got up so early today?" ”

Lu Xiaoshui smiled proudly: "Because I set the table." ”

This made Zhou Li stunned for a moment, and then laughed helplessly.

In Lu Xiaoshui's world, has the alarm clock, which has never had a sense of existence, finally played its original role?

It's really gratifying, it's gratifying.

On the contrary, I have always been accustomed to getting up early, and because of the futile action of 'looking for a needle in a haystack' last night, I stayed up late to find four or five o'clock, and as a result, I slept until now.

Zhou Li got up from the ground, rubbed his eyes, and stacked the various books scattered on his body, there were already five or six of the same books piled up next to him.

And Lu Xiaoshui, who rarely enters the study, has already begun to explore between the shadows of the layers of bookshelves, and can only see the figure of the girl through the gap in the bookshelf.

Zhou Li looked around at the terrifying collection of books comparable to a small library, and sighed helplessly: "Anyway, what's going on in the study?" ”

"What's going on?" Lu Qiaoshui stood on tiptoe and showed half of his head from behind the bookshelf: "Wasn't the study originally a collection of books?" ”

"But this amount...... It's a little too much, right? ”

Zhou Li leaned against the 'wall' and whispered to himself.

In the study, in addition to a dozen bookshelves, even the four walls have been made of bookcases, densely decorated.

Moreover, almost every one of the various ancient books and rare books has the reader's intensive annotations, or the reading perception with small characters written on it.

And there are also latecomers who continue to add bricks and tiles, and now even the ground is almost full......

If you want to find any information left by your uncle from it, I am afraid that it will not be possible without three or four months of careful search and a certain amount of luck.

In the back, Lu Wanshui poked his head out with a puzzled expression: "Isn't the more books, the better?" ”

Zhou Li lowered his head weakly: "I'd rather have less of it now." ”

"Well, you look so weird." Lu Qiaoshui squatted next to him and looked at his expression from below: "It's so strange what you said." ”

Zhou Li could only smile helplessly, picked up the books that had been checked from the ground, and began to put them on the shelves again.

The top of some bookshelves is relatively high, and it even takes Zhou Li to step on a ladder to go up, but Lu Qiaoshui stands below with a serious face holding a bunch of books, and hands them to Zhou Li one by one.

Some books are even thick enough to smash people's tomes, and adults may struggle to hold them for a long time, but Lu Qiaoshui seems to enjoy it, and will tiptoe to put the book into Zhou Li's hand when Zhou Li's palm reaches for her.

Silent and smooth, with tacit understanding as if it has been rehearsed thousands of times,

In the sparse light leaking through the window, tiny dust flew up from the bookshelves and stuck to Lu Qiaoshui's immature face, but it couldn't hide the smile on the corner of her mouth.

After Zhou Li finally finished placing those precious old books, her little hands were already full of dust.

When Zhou Li turned her head, she was full of cunning and rubbed the dust on Zhou Li's coat or something...... Zhou Li can only act as if he didn't see this.

Just let her be proud for a while.

After doing it, Lu Qianshui didn't seem to stop the treasure hunt, but circled around the desk full of curiosity.

Seeing the strange appearance of Lu Qianshui squatting in front of the table, Zhou Li helplessly patted the dust on his palm: "What are you doing?" Looking for bugs? ”

"There are no insects in here, and Dad said that the wood of many bookshelves can repel insects or something."

Lu Wanshui turned his head to look at him, and said with a serious face: "I remember that there was a bookshelf here, much smaller than those." ”

She stood up in distress: "I was originally here, but I disappeared when I came in this time, and I remember it very clearly." ”

Zhou Li, who was facing her with his back, was stunned for a moment, and slowly turned his head: "Here...... Have you ever had a small bookshelf? ”

"Yes, I remember that there were a lot of foreign books on it, and a lot of ledger-like things, which I saw when I came in when I was a child."

Lu Qiaoshui tried hard to compare the size, and finally bent down in frustration: "Is it a mistake?" ”

Zhou Li lowered his head, looked at the floor under her feet, and slowly squinted his eyes.

There, there is a piece of color that is lighter than the rest of the place, and if you don't pay attention, you won't notice the barely visible color line.

Suffice it to say that something was there, existed for quite some time, and then was removed later.

Looking at the degree of traces remaining, I'm afraid it's the most recent time, probably before my uncle died!

It's just that...... What exactly is he trying to hide?

"Then maybe I'm mistaken, right?" Zhou Li looked up at the bookshelves around him: "It's normal for me to have vague memories when I was a child. And bedwetting, talking in sleep, or something......"

"Not really." Lu faintly glared at him, two rows of small white teeth rubbing, but he couldn't find a place to go.

That pair of eyes made Zhou Li tremble, and his heart was even more firm in the conjecture that 'Lu Qiaoshui is a dog in his life'.

After staring for a long time, the little girl seemed to lose interest and turned her head: "Cut, ignore you." ”

As he spoke, he lost interest in the study and walked away.

Seeing her leave, Zhou Li lowered his head with a wry smile and silently observed the traces on the ground.

After a long time, he whispered to himself, "What the hell are you...... What do you want to hide? ”

Silently closing the door, the study became his own world again.

At the arrival of the second hand, Zhou Li squatted on the ground, looked at the trace seriously, stretched out his fingers, and gently wiped off a little dust on the floor.

After a long time, he slowly got up from the ground and looked around.

My uncle is dead, but there is no doubt that there are still traces of that man.

For more than ten years, every corner of this room has the mark left by my uncle, and it has never disappeared.

Maybe it's a fingerprint in the dust on a shelf, maybe it's the placement of a few books, a paperweight on a desk and a few books in Russian.

Nothing left with his death, it was just hidden with the precipitation of time.

And what Zhou Li has to do is to find them out!

Looking up at the surrounding scene, Zhou Li smiled and whispered, "New life?" Since this kind of incredible thing has happened to me, let me see what other discount packages are available! ”

Taking a deep breath slowly, he closed his eyes and searched in his mind for the beat hidden in the deepest part of his soul, so that the sound of the piano that had been silent for a long time played again!

Faintly, the sound of a violin like water sounded from an unknown place, gurgling out like water, making Zhou Li slowly open his eyes.

In the slightly dimly lit room, the depths of his pupils lit up with a cyan light, like a wave of stagnant water, turning into ripples and quietly spreading in his pupils.

The world once again turned into a strange and familiar appearance, the sound of the second hand ticking was instantly stretched dozens of times, and Zhou Li once again fell into this silent world that only he could perceive.

The dust stopped drifting in the sunlight, and the faint air flow through the vent left a cyan ripple in his eyes.

Under the perception of hundreds of times sharper in an instant, countless faint traces were hidden in the corners, like floating spirits floating in the air, surrounding him.

Again, he raised his head and gazed slowly and earnestly at everything around him, his cyan pupils fluttering slightly, capturing the image in the light, stripping the message from the image and reassembling it.

In an instant, everything in his sight turned into a huge amount of detailed information and rushed into Zhou Li's brain, exploding!

For a moment, it was as if the speed of a car was approaching the limit from zero, and there was a faint painful sound in his throat, and he was panting hard, and blood was faintly oozing from his mouth and nose.

Crazy consuming Zhou Li's spirit, it only took a few seconds to make Zhou Li, who had just woken up, tired to death.

But the collection of information did not stop, and he was reassembling together the figure that once existed here through all the information and traces in this room.

Since he wants to reproduce the traces of that person's existence and continue it in his own hands, then this alone is definitely not enough!

So, look again, think again, and look for ...... Until all the scenes in this study are broken down into a huge amount of information and reorganized in his mind!

Finally, in the moment when he was about to collapse, the frantic reading finally stopped.

Leaning against the wall, Zhou Li lowered his head and tried his best to breathe, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile of excitement.

He understands that the reading of information ...... It's finally done!

Next, the scene is reproduced and the simulation is restarted!

"Come back—"

Zhou Li raised his head and whispered hoarsely: "--Passed time!" ”

――――

When I woke up, I found myself in the top five...... What a surprise.

Keep asking for votes~
