Chapter 40: The Watchman of the World

2nd Grade Library.

The area belonging to the second grade was not as complicated as Gu Qinghan imagined, he walked out of the corridor according to Billy's prompts, and walked straight to the right for five minutes, and the dark green name brand appeared in the line of sight.

Walking to a stop on the flat ground, Gu Qinghan turned his head slightly and looked around.

Wait, wasn't I going to give them a lesson just now...

The memory was still on Billy's wistful face, why did he go to the library?

"Ah, that guy wants to find you, so you can just go by yourself."

In my mind, Billy's sudden words before leaving came back to me.

"My perception has been tampered with?"

Suspicious, I came to the door of the library, and to my surprise, there was not even a gatekeeper here.

Gu Qinghan walked silently to the door, twisted the doorknob, and entered it.

Perhaps because no one has been cleaning for a long time, the library is extremely crowded and cluttered. The corners of the walls are filled with bookcases and wooden boxes, some of which have fallen under a thick layer of ashes, all of which look old.

The contents of the library were a mess, from a string of rusty keys to a broken bronze sword, a yellowed book, or a few broken wooden boxes.

If it weren't for those neatly sorted bookcases, Gu Qinghan would have thought that this was a recycling bin for miscellaneous items.

"Oh, there's even a statue." Gu Qinghan walked to the bookcase without saying a word, and casually touched the nearest thing: "This is..."The Thinker's head"? ”

From the fracture, it was obvious that it was forcibly unloaded, and Gu Qinghan, who found this, shuddered for no reason and put it back in its place.

The palm of his hand left the cold object, and he realized that there were several blurred fonts on the head of the statue.

Swinging the sculpture over and over again, and after barely seeing all the fonts, Gu Qinghan read it softly.

"I know you're here."

What bullshit. Gu Qinghan sneered, he didn't even see a ghost, and said I know you're here, do you play with Julia's eyes.

Putting his head back in his place boringly, Gu Qinghan looked for the next object that looked more interesting.

It wasn't long before he found a diary at the bottom of the counter.

"Yoβ€”this is the little secret of the girl who left here." Gu Qinghan's eyes suddenly became a little strange, and he stepped forward and reached out to pick it up.

The dust that covered the entire writing slanted down as he grabbed it, causing him to frown and take a few steps back. Patiently blowing away all the dust from the diary, Gu Qinghan slowly opened the title page.

There is no preface or even a date, and it begins with a long scribbled handwriting.

[Hey, are you here, have you forgotten, we've met before.] 】

"Neuropathy..."

Gu Qinghan muttered and flipped to the second page, the paper that was also stained with a lot of dust was still scrawled and illegible, and he suddenly forgot why he came here.

[I'm sorry to modify your cognitive abilities, because you will waste a lot of time in the second grade according to the original plot, and I can't wait.] 】

"Ah, isn't it possible that this is followed by a series of episodes that predict the future and explore the past?" Gu Qinghan shrugged his shoulders and continued reading inexplicably.

[SCP-3999, I am in the midst of all things.] 】

"Why does it look so familiar..."It seems that he has seen this name, Gu Qinghan clicked the font, and his fingers were stained with dust: "I always feel as if I saw this thing not long ago." ”

[Because Billy told you my story a few hours ago, the memory modification and reality distortion have left you feeling a little confused.] 】

Smack-

Gu Qinghan closed the book, and his face became a little ugly.

He wanted to throw the strange book back and get out of here.

"I ...... I? ”

The body uncontrollably took back the book, turned to the second page, and Gu Qinghan was forced to look down.

[I think you're going to find it strange or scared right now.] 】

"Heh... Is this a free experience of a wave of third-person Sims? At this moment, although Gu Qinghan said that his body was not under his own control, this did not stop him from complaining.

[I remember the first time I showed you this ability, you were shocked. 】

The font of the pages became clearer and clearer, as if someone was having a real-time conversation with him through this.

"Who are you and what do you want to do? Is that the guy who modified my memory and mobility you're you, a sophomore? Or is it a third-grader? ”

[I have repeated this introduction one hundred and twenty-three thousand seven thousand five hundred times, I am Scp-3999, we have seen it many times, Gu Qinghan. 】

"One million two hundred thirty thousand seven thousand five hundred?" When Gu Qinghan heard this, he wanted to compare his middle fingers: "Are you crazy or am I crazy?" Do you think you're shooting the source code? ”

[As far as the truth is concerned, I don't have the emotion of madness. You're running out of time, I've waited too long, but it looks like this time it's been a failure again. 】

"Do you think this kind of pretending to be a ghost can scare Lao Tzu, but I write novels, and I haven't seen anything fanciful."

[I'm sorry to tell you one thing, Gu Qinghan, you yourself are just a character in the book. 】

"Cut, if I were a character in the book, I would definitely go out and take out the old man's possession." Gu Qinghan's throat squirmed: "Or am I still the male protagonist of a street novel written by a bastard?" ”

[Yes, exactly. Your fate is in the hands of a nineteen-year-old man outside of a parallel universe. 】

The content of the second page ended here, and Gu Qinghan regained his mobility at the same time.

"Is it some kind of illusion?" Gu Qinghan rubbed his sour eyes, but the book he was holding in his hand turned a page by itself, kicking up layers of hazy dust.

[In a new reincarnation, you lose again.] 】

β€œScp-3999οΌŸβ€ Gu Qinghan was noncommittal, at present, his memory must have been affected a little, and he even forgot the reason why he came here, did Billy ask him to come?

Part of his cognition was completely erased by something, and it was not even known from what point in time.

"It's really annoying, is it Hannibal who set me up, or Brandon." Gu Qinghan said disgustedly.

It's been so long since this chapter, and it turns out that this thing doesn't even know what he's doing.

Gu Qinghan, who couldn't find the answer, was a little irritable, and tried to turn to a new page, but the paper seemed to be stuck to something, and together with the next page, he carefully tore it open, and the yellowing and dull traces were all over the page, making the content a little blurry.

[When the time comes, Gu Qinghan, I am looking forward to meeting you next time. 】

All to darkness.
