After the battle just now, the editor has a deeper understanding of the ability that cats give themselves.

Therefore, this time she did not walk around the Great Library and synthesize a book herself, as she had just done.

Instead, he gently ran his fingertips across the spine of a row of books, which flew up as if they had been given life.

Not only that, but they also follow the rule that big fish eat small fish. It's like a sharp sickle, devouring those books that have not been touched and are as quiet as leeks.

When they are too high-level, devouring ordinary books, and too slow, they actually "ignite" those leeks, turning them into small scythes.

The huge library has been transformed into a harvesting ground.

The editor stood in the doorway, watching the books flying up and down, chasing the devoured books, stroking the fur of the cat in her arms.

And behind her, the clouds outside the door already had substance.

One after another, strange-looking and evil-looking beings began to descend from the center of the clouds, armed with shovels like shovels, and began to shovel the ground of Innsmouth.

Layer after layer of floor tiles were shoveled up, like fragments of pages, rolled into one roll after another. It seems that if you break them all down and put them together, you will become a brand new book.

However, the process did not seem comfortable for the city of Innsmouth.

Because......

It began to tremble.

The ground beneath the editor's feet felt as if it had been an earthquake.

She tried to stand still at first, but after a few attempts, she waved the book behind her, making it the size of a blanket and standing on top of it.

She looked out the window at the vision and wasn't too surprised.

[Mission time remaining: 27 minutes and 13 seconds.] 】

"Hurry up...... "Miss Editor once again sped up the speed of book synthesis.

Book after book was devoured.

Her head kept ringing "Ding! Synthesis successful! "With" to get 500 points! Voice.

When all the books in the large library on this side were combined into one book and floated in front of the editor. She chose to let the book under her feet swallow the one that flew in.

[Synthesize a super 】

The editor took the new book under her feet and flew out of the Great Library, not trying to make any contact with the lifeforms that shoveled the ground, but pulling straight upwards, over the clouds floating above Innsmouth, and shouting, "Synthesis." ”

The book she stepped on the spine suddenly opened, and countless tentacles ejected rapidly, and even the sound barrier was broken one after another.

It seems to be an infinitely long tentacle, not only entwining Innsmouth, the city of holy books.

They target the entire World Fragment.

When the seven hundred and fifty-three distal tentacles are all fixed to the edge of the world.

The book at the editor's feet began to turn into a giant mouth and devour it downward, as if it was about to eat the entire fragment of the world.

The dark clouds over the city of Innsmouth only reacted at this time.

It no longer projected the book shoveler into the city, but transformed itself into a cloud giant, attacking the giant book.

How could the editor let it attack the weak point of the giant book, her little leather shoes, from the book fell on the vine tentacles.

With a tap of the tip of the pen in his right hand, countless symbols flashed through the air.

The scenery appeared like the treasure of the Golden Shining King, but it was not counterfeit and shoddy legendary weapons that galloped out, but ...... The truth of the world - missiles.

The cloud giant, ignoring these missiles and moving on.

The missiles burrowed into the dense clouds and blew up mushroom clouds one after another.

But......

The Cloud Giant, however, was not visibly harmed, and did not slow down.

No effect?

The editor tilted her head and stared at the cloudy giant, and her vision switched to text mode for a moment.

The cloud giant under the visual of words is not so much composed of one text after another, but only one text.

This text is not a two-dimensional text.

Rather, it is a three-dimensional text with different meanings from all angles and facets.

It is incomparably dense, and there is no room for penetration at all.

Those missiles made of words are like eggs hitting stones.

It is impossible to defeat such a holistic text.

But......

But it can be restricted!

The editor jumped lightly between the tentacles, and soon formed a web.

The Cloud Giant crashed into the net, and when it tried to break into pieces and escape through the net in the form of a cloud.

These nets suddenly revealed countless small holes, and a huge suction force was transmitted, sucking the clouds into the nets.

It turned out that when the editor was constructing these nets, she defined them as hollow structures.

From the very beginning, she did not attempt to stop the Cloud Giant with a net, but planned to use independent hollow cavities to disperse the power of the Cloud Giant.

However, just when she thought she had succeeded, the Word Vision sensed an anomaly.

Originally, there was only one three-dimensional text, but it turned out to be incarnated.

Within each individual cavity, there is a tiny incarnation of words.

[Mission time remaining: 21 minutes and 28 seconds.] 】

The clone of the cloud giant has not yet moved.

The devouring mouth of the giant book has begun the process of devouring.

Like the end of the world, a great shadow descended on the continent.

"Click!"

"Click!"

……

The shattered continent is like the taste of snow cakes and senbei.

When the book shoveler arrived, Innsmouth, which began to tremble, trembled even more.

It shakes so much that it will even collapse itself.

Instead of looking at the grand spectacle of devouring the world, the editor continued to gaze at the cloudy giants hidden among the vines.

They were silent, but the editor was sure they wouldn't rest.

Because......

They are also scythes.

Originally, when she met a scholar and went to the city of holy books, her head exploded, and she thought that the reaper was the city of holy books.

However, it now appears that the Reapers of Innsmouth are the cloud giants.

As a predator, he has always been patient.

The now dormant cloud giant, for the editor, is as dangerous as a hunter hiding in the shadows.

She knew it would do it, but she didn't know when.

What to do?

Miss Editor thought.

Just when her self-doubt was almost at the extreme, the cat in her arms suddenly said, "There are two kinds of life in the universe, one is prosperous because of battle and perishes because of battle, and the other is to join if you can't fight." Which one do you think has existed longer? ”

"You joined if you can't beat it?"

"Nope! It's the stronger one. You don't want to be wiped out by it, you are stronger than it. ”

[Mission time remaining: 17 minutes and 54 seconds.] 】

"Of course, these days, there are very few fights to the death. Any species that survives is strong enough. So, most of the time, containment is far more than elimination. Natsume continued to teach.

"What do you mean...... That three-dimensional civilization can be contained? Can be locked up? Miss Editor asked.

"Uh-huh." The cat in her arms snorted, indicating that her guess was correct. As for more hints, as well as containment protocols, there is no mention of them.

After all, if you have to rely on cats to do everything, what else do you need people to do?

The editor didn't think about this, but focused all her energy on how to contain the three-dimensional text life.

She first remembered everything she had seen since she came to this world.

From the very beginning of those who love to read and desire to read, to the words that cover the walls and floors, and the clouds that fall down to shovel the life of the city.

The thickness of the paper is negligible, and the words on the book can be counted as two-dimensional.

The graffiti-like text on the walls and floor is also two-dimensional.

But...... What if you shoveled down the text and pinched it into a three-dimensional shape?

Is it possible to become the "soul" that carries the three-dimensional text of the clouds, so that it has a substance, so as to become stronger?

If that's the case.

So...... If it is trapped in a "book" with an infinite two-dimensional plane, will many of its powers due to its three-dimensional nature disappear?

Then you should make a Möbius strip yourself? Use its distorted plane, which has no distinction between inside and outside, to trap the clouds?

No!

No way!

The Möbius strip has its own borders. It's just a flat surface, and it may be able to trap ants in two dimensions, but it's not enough to contain three-dimensional text!

That......

Klein bottles?

If the Möbius strip is a piece of paper tape flipped and glued together, there is no longer a positive aspect.

Then the Klein bottle is to glue countless Möbius tapes, so as to achieve the effect of no inside and outside in three-dimensional space.

This has a limited but boundless effect on the creatures within.

It's like a turtle walking along the inner wall of a ball that will never get out of the ball.

Such a structure should be the key to the cloud of containment.

But!

The Klein bottle is not real, but simply a topological concept.

Therefore, it takes math to contain the cloud zigzag!

It's the first time that Miss Editor has felt that the high number she hated has such an effect.

In her cerebellum, a bottle of Klein based on a mathematical description is already being built.

And her hands, like a 3D printer, make the Klein bottles.

The word of the clouds seemed to sense the danger.

It was originally going to hibernate, but it began to rush wildly.

One cavity after another was opened, and the clouds in the cavities still merged, gathering more power.

However, it was already too late.

A transparent but tenacious magical substance has enveloped the space where the cloud zigzag is located, and everything inside has been "contained".

Loaded into the cloud zigzag, he began to rush back and forth, trying to escape from this space.

However, it easily reached the surface of the "Klein Bottle", but it was firmly anchored to it, and it could not break free at all.

A moment later, in the editor's hand, there was a delicate, transparent gadget shrouded in fog both inside and out.

【Ding! Complete the hidden main quest! Contain the "Word of the Clouds" and get 1,000,000 points! 】

[Time remaining in the main quest: 6 minutes and 41 seconds.] 】

The huge book above the heavenly dome no longer had any scruples, and began to devour this piece of world in a big way.

If, at the beginning, it was as crisp as biting into a snow cake, now it is as wild as swallowing a light bulb.

The whole fragment of the world, like a giant chocolate block, was uprooted by the tentacles of the book and pushed into a huge mouth like an abyss.

Miss Editor stood on the spine of the book like a demon god in the last days, looking down at the endless void under her feet, "We...... Is this the destruction of a world? ”

The editor was a little stunned.

No matter how crazy and disorderly this world is, it is still a world after all!

If the world here can disappear so easily, what about the "real world"......

For the people here, this is the real world.

Just when the editor was sad, the huge book at her feet suddenly burped.

"Wow!"

[Synthesize a super-super-super

Main quest completed. 】

"Ahh

The huge book that had just finished hiccuping actually sneezed.

A chocolate cube that appeared to have not melted erupted.

This chocolate chunk, falling from the sky, is embedded in the void. Aside from the vanishing City of Sacred Books, nothing seemed to have changed.

【Ding! Complete the hidden main quest! Purify Innsmouth and get 1,000,000 points!

The World Fragment has been successfully purified.

Get ready to return to the real world.

Plane coordinates to anchor.

Three......

Two......

1. ......]

"Ahh

The scream of the editor when she jumped into the wellhead rang out again, and her body "bounced" out of the wellhead and fell to the ground as if it were being played upside down.

"Am I dreaming...... the editor touched her face when she saw the scene playing back in front of her, as if to confirm that everything that had just happened was her imagination.

However, when she wanted to comfort herself that nothing had happened, she found that she had an extra book in her hand. Underneath the books, there is also a delicate ornament.

"Miss Editor, you didn't dream, everything just now was true. I'm going to file them both now, your probation in Persona Division has passed, and you can sign a formal contract with me. ”

Natsume walked in front elegantly with a book in his mouth.

Enter the inner hall from the backyard and place your paw on the decoder to sweep through the Hearsi's containment chamber.

A serious book is inserted into the bookshelf with "C" written on it.

[C9841 Book of Madness: 20 ■■ Year ■ Month ■■ Day Containment, looking at the text of this book will produce ■■, ■■, ■■ effect, the text ■■ enters the observer's brain through ■■ to reproduce, and after ■■ time, the observer's head becomes larger, and will hammer his own brain.

After the cat entered the information, he took out a contract, "It's good to sign your name here, and after signing it, you can get an anomaly with the highest resemblance to you here as a reward." ”

"That'...... Will they ever be resurrected? ”

"As long as you sign it."

"Okay, I'll sign it."
