Chapter 221: Fairy Tale Twenty-four
As with most libraries, there is no special decoration, the color of the wood is the main theme here, and in the center are neatly arranged tables and chairs, and the space behind these tables and chairs is separated by rows of bookshelves, between which there are two parallel benches for those who need to change books frequently.
Looking up from the lobby of the library, you can see the ceiling. Because the center of the second floor is hollowed out, and the circle against the wall is covered by a partition that is not very spacious, and on this partition, it is natural to place bookshelves.
This is the whole picture of the whole library, although there are many things, but the design is not complicated at all, so it is easy to imprint all the structure in your mind.
Of course, these are just the first glances after Chen Xiao pushed open the door, habitually collecting information.
What really caught his attention was in a seat at the back of the hall.
A little girl sat quietly.
It's only a teenager.
Dressed in clean but not conspicuous clothes, no bright colors and no broken lace, it looks more traditional than ordinary dress, the double ponytail is left to the chest, combed very well, can give people a quiet atmosphere edified in the scholarly door, and slightly destroy the beauty, is a pair of large glasses, covering half of the face. In this era of flamboyant personality, there are really few little girls who can give people this feeling, but if you go back a few years, and in this kind of small town that is not very developed, such a little girl should not be a minority.
At this moment, this little girl is naturally reading a book.
The whole town shook violently, but she didn't seem to notice it. Just reading quietly, nothing around her could get her attention.
She sat abruptly in the empty library
She's already here...... How many years have you been sitting?
Chen Xiao looked at her blankly for half a second.
C-177。
If there's an anomalous object, it's the girl in front of you...... Or the book she's looking at.
Without further ado, I saw Chen Xiao quickly look around, as if he was looking for something. Soon, he found his goal, a clean storage compartment...... This kind of indoor public place will be equipped with such a place.
Chen Xiao moved over quickly and quietly, and opened the storage door...... Sure enough, in addition to the cleaning utensils, there was also a cleaning overalls.
This thing is not taken home and washed every day, it must be put together with tools.
Chen Xiao didn't know what to say, so he directly put on his work clothes, and walked to the little girl's side without caring about carrying things such as mops and brooms......
During this time, she did not hide her footsteps.
Of course, the little girl was still reading with relish, and she didn't seem to notice that a man with an unpleasant appearance came to the opposite of her.
"Hi~~" Chen Xiao greeted the other party.
The other party did not react......
Chen Xiao lowered his head and looked at the book from his own perspective.
The yellowed pages, which at first glance had been printed in a private printing house where they had cut corners, were engraved in very unclear small print, and there were no page numbers underneath the paper. But it is certain that the pages left behind by those monsters after their death were torn from this book.
Chen Xiao saw that the girl completely ignored herself...... There was a slight hesitation.
After that, reach out your hand~~
The book in front of the girl was slowly and slowly withdrawn.
In the next second, Chen Xiao flipped through the contents of the book, and quickly glanced at the cover pages in front of him and behind him.
There was no printing time, no publishing house, and no authors. Except for the four big characters of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" that are printed on the cover, all the handwriting is describing one after another fairy tales that are different from the ones we have seen, and the style is of course similar to the previous ones.
After doing these things
......
And then another second passed......
The girl seemed to have finally reflected that her book had been dragged away, she was a little confused, raised her head blankly, and looked at Chen Xiao who was standing opposite her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was fascinated by the book and didn't notice you~" The girl's voice was soft and polite, which matched her appearance well. Speaking of this, the girl also seemed to notice that something was wrong, she looked at the empty environment around her, and looked a little surprised: "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't notice that the door was about to close......"
As she spoke, she bowed her head apologetically...... I can feel that she is really apologizing, compared with the current high-flying bear children, especially the mother bear children, this little girl is really too educated.
Of course...... Chen Xiao didn't care about any of this. He frowned and organized the language for a moment.
"Uh...... Actually, it's been closed for a long time......" he pondered.
There was a hint of panic in the girl's eyes, and she looked through the window of the library at the dim light outside: "Yes~ It's so late!" I've got to go home! ”
She muttered~
Chen Xiao licked his lips helplessly.
Although he covered his tattered clothes with his overalls, he disguised himself as a cleaning staff by the way.
But it's still very difficult to do, as long as you are not stupid, you can see that this girl should be the key to solving the group of monsters outside...... But it's just like what Chen Xiao just speculated!! This stupid girl didn't realize what was going on......
Sure enough! What do you mean? For a little girl who is in a hurry to go home for dinner, she coldly tells people: In fact, many years have passed, and this is not the original world, your parents and the whole town have all died, and they have all become disgusting monsters...... And nine times out of ten, you are the one who started it all!! Now calm down and don't cry, tell me how to deal with the bunch of stuff out there, okay.
Isn't that! If you scare people into crying at this juncture, those people outside can't let go of themselves.
But it's too late, and those people don't know how long they can last, thinking that they have finally found so many people who are willing to follow their own team...... Oh, it's a discerning guy, if this monster snaps to death, it is estimated that he will have to be a bare-bones commander for the rest of his life!
Really...... It's much harder to deal with little Lori than it is to deal with those ferocious anomalous creatures.
......
Chen Xiao thought crankily, of course, he always did this, and these thoughts only appeared for a moment, and they would not delay any time.
"Oh, of course, it's a little late." Chen Xiao said, trying not to show the expressions that frightened the children, and then, he seemed to think of something: "Oh, by the way, this book...... What's inside......"
Unexpectedly, the girl took the initiative to take over the conversation. It seems that when it comes to reading, this child has become a little more mature than his actual age, and his tone has an obvious "scholar" flavor.
"Hmmm! It's a bit different from the fairy tales I've read before...... It's a little uncomfortable to read, but it's interesting. ”
Chen Xiao nodded, and then looked at the poorly printed fairy tale in his hand: "Anyway, there doesn't seem to be this book in this library, so where did it come from?" ”
The little girl smiled, as if she were remembering something that had happened this afternoon.
"Oh...... It was given to me by an old man who was also sitting here reading a book~"
She said, pointing to the seat opposite.
