Chapter 4: The Strange Library (Part I)
October 5, 2017.
8:40 p.m.
Location: Liuting City.
Liuting City is next to Shashi in front and Guizhou in the back.
Here, there is no desolation of the former, but there is no vitality of the latter.
Here, it's like an empty city!
If it was eight o'clock in the evening, it would be forgivable for everyone to go home, but there was no one, and second, even the lights were all out, and only the street lights remained.
This is a little bit of detail...... It's a bit unbelievable.
……
In a dark room in a teahouse.
It was pitch black, except for the candles on the wooden tables, on either side of which sat a man in black and a white-haired man in a brown robe.
I saw the white-haired old man holding a piece of paper that looked like a contract in his right hand, his expression was a little stiff, and the crutch in his left hand gently knocked twice on the ground, and then said slowly: "You want to destroy the entire Liuting City?" There was a hint of shock in his voice.
The man in black didn't make any moves, just said in a business-like tone: "This business should meet your conditions, right?!" His voice is hoarse and he cannot tell his age.
The old man glanced at the white paper in his hand, frowned, thought about it for a few minutes before nodding, and said, "I can do this business, but you have to ensure the safety of me and my family." Also, you can't lose a single cent of your deposit! ”
Who said the old man was confused? Isn't there just a shrewd representative!
The man in black smiled in the dark and said, "Don't worry, as long as you can destroy Liuting City and stop the few people I want to stop, I will agree to all your conditions." Seeing that the old man nodded, he added: "However, if anything happens here, you must also promise that you will never confess me."
"Don't worry! When we do business, what we want is to keep our promises, and I won't give you up! The white-haired old man replied with a veteran-like look.
But I was thinking in my heart: Even if I want to confess you, I don't know your face and I don't know your name, no one will believe it!
At this time, the man in black stood up slowly, with his hands behind his back, in the light, only the black mask inside the coat and hat could be seen, he turned his back to the white-haired old man, and said softly: "This matter can be big or small, if you do it well, I promise...... Give you unexpected glory and wealth, but if you mess up...... Then why do you have to pay a price, right? ”
The white-haired old man also stood up, only to hear the man in black continue: "My ability is definitely stronger than ordinary people, as long as you do what I tell me, I will definitely be able to ensure the safety of your family and yourself, but the premise is that you must not have the slightest hesitation or decision......" After that, he left without a sound, leaving the white-haired old man in a daze, and when he came back to his senses, the others were gone.
He sat down again, his thoughts in a mess.
I really...... Can you trust him completely?
No one knows, what exactly they discussed?!
The old man shook his head helplessly and blew out half of the candle in front of him......
At around ten o'clock in the evening, a black BMW drove into the city center.
The car circled around the fountain and stopped at a nearby library.
It was the three of them who got out of the car.
"It's so quiet here......"
As soon as she got out of the car, Liuyue felt cold and swishing, as if she had spent winter, and hurriedly took out a windbreaker from the car and put it on for herself.
Compared with Liuyue, the two of them were better, and after looking around, the latter said: "The weather here is already in October, and it stands to reason that it will be a little cold at night, but ...... Seems a little weird here? ”
"It's a bit weird, indeed." Liuyue got dressed and walked a few steps forward, facing the door of the library, waved her hands casually a few times, and said, "The feng shui in this seems to be controlled by someone, even during the day, it is estimated that it will be as cold as the night."
"No wonder the people here don't even turn on the lights in the house!" Conversion Sheng was behind the Immortal with a long sword on his back, and then his hands were sealed, and two golden beams of light protected the other two, the former said, "Shall we go to the library and have a look?"
Shenchen tugged at his cuffs and said softly, "Let's go in and have a look!" Get a night's sleep when necessary. ”
Liuyue glanced at the golden light beside him, and suddenly only felt a burst of warmth, and he didn't feel very cold, this conversion, he still has a way.
The three of them walked into the library side by side.
The library here is no different from a regular library, with nothing on the ground floor, just a few shelves and some e-book screens for mobile phones, as well as a few stone tablets with slogans such as "Endless Learning". The three of them saw that there was nothing to see, so they went directly to the second floor.
Compared to the first floor, the second floor is quite sufficient, and there are bookshelves everywhere, and the shelves are full of books, and because there is no one, the seats seem empty.
"It's ...... How does it feel that something is wrong? "Although Liuyue is a deacon, he is also a feng shui master in the world, so whenever he walks to a place, he will be idle and look at the feng shui here. At this moment, he walked around the bookshelf next to him a few times, looked at the position of the bookshelf, and said: "Although there is no problem with the placement of the bookshelf here, these patterns always feel very uncomfortable." It is...... Inexplicably, it gives people a feeling of vomiting and dizziness. With that, he walked around the bookshelf casually a few times.
"Could it be that this place has been renovated?" Hades asked after Liuyue's words. The conversion on the side followed the underworld closely, and the conversion rose puzzled: "Big brother, if there is a yin spirit or yin qi here, I should be able to feel it...... The dragon blade is not responding for the time being, which means that we are still safe. ”
Shenchen listened and nodded slightly.
Conversion is particularly sensitive to Yin spirits, so he said that there was no danger, and he could still be trusted.
After turning around a few times, Liuyue suddenly stopped in front of a bookcase and looked at the books placed on it, although the books inside looked neatly placed, but they were covered with dust, which could only mean that many people had not read these books.
He took out a random book on it, patted the dust on it, and glanced at the title of the book, "Ten Horrors", "Why don't you have the name of the writer on it?" And ...... "flipped back and forth a time or two," and there were no publishers either! ”
When they were puzzled, the two of them also came over, and when they saw Liuyue's sad face, the former asked, "What's wrong?" Did you find something? ”
Liuyue didn't reply, just handed the book in his hand to Shenchen, and the former took down another copy from the bookshelf, and also looked back and forth, and in the same way, there was no author and publisher for this book.
What's going on? Could it be that it's the same author?
But why didn't he publish his name? Or is it ...... What to hide?
"Hey!" Conversion patted Liuyue's shoulder, the latter shook for no reason, as if he was frightened, and the former smiled and said, "What do you want?" So fascinating. ”
"Go, go, go......" Liuyue took away the hand of the conjugation, but in her heart she was calling her soul, took a deep breath, and said lightly: "These two books have no authors and publishers, and looking at the dust on this shelf, it is estimated that it is some age." As he spoke, he walked over to the other bookshelves, "The other bookshelves are clean, which means that people come here every day, but ...... Why is this bookshelf so dusty? Why doesn't anyone read the books on this shelf? I don't clean either...... Why is that? ”
Shenchen put down the book in his hand, looked at the dusty bookshelf, and then looked at the stone bricks on the floor of the bookshelf, "The pattern on this floor is a little different!" As he spoke, he squatted down and touched it, and analyzed: "Although these patterns are patterns, each brick is arranged according to the law, but these few pieces are ......."
Shen Chen pointed to the stone bricks under the dusty bookshelf, "These stones are a little different from the previous ones, they don't match the arrangement of the stone bricks here at all, and the pattern is reversed, and the contrast with the previous ones is obvious...... There is indeed a problem with this bookshelf! With that, he stood up and scanned the bookshelves, hoping to get some answers.
There was nothing on the shelves but dusty books, so there was no way to look them up.
The key words still stay on the books with "no author's name, no publishing house".
Liuyue took out another three or four books, compared them with the previous ones, obviously, from the same person, after a few more random picks, found that the last one had the author's name, and quickly took it out, "Look at this book!" ”
The other two hurriedly stepped forward.
The title of the book, "Murder in the Night"!
The name of the author above: Murderer.
It's just these two lines, and there is no publisher.
Liuyue hurriedly opened the catalog that night, only to see that it was written:
First night: Cut your throat and get dirty
Second night: Eighteen boys were drawn from their eyebrows
Night 3: Experiment 1 for six-year-old infants
……
Next, it's all about the experimental side of the title!
Just the title made the three of them gasp, and their hearts kept trembling.
Homicide!
Homicide!
Drink blood!
Infant!
……
This author is very bold enough to come up with such a horrific event.
However, in the midst of this shock, there are also infinite doubts...... Really, just came up with it?
Or, did you really do it?!
Liuyue closed the book, took a deep breath, and said, "It can be seen that this author writes supernatural novels."
The conversion on the side interjected, "I also wish he was just writing a supernatural novel." ”
Everyone else can hear that Conversion is suspicious that this author is not as simple as writing a supernatural novel, and he is really afraid that he will write so fully after doing it once.
"Alright." Shenchen also exhaled, "Even if this bookshelf is a little weird, it won't be our turn to take care of it, so let's rest early, and we have to hurry tomorrow!" With that, he walked to the desk next to him and lay down on a chair. The other two spread their palms helplessly, and went to rest in the same way.
Twelve o'clock in the middle of the night......
The whole library was very quiet, and the three people resting on the second floor had already quietly fallen asleep.
In this city, while the moonlight was covered by dark clouds, two different rays of brilliance fell from the clouds and hit the TV tower near the library, and the blow was like a lightning strike coming down from the top of a lightning rod, not to mention how wonderful that phenomenon was.
At this moment, a cloud of green came out of the sewer and began to spread along the road, first the building, then the company's upper echelons......
……
"There's a demon!!" Evasion turned over and sat up, his right hand was already ready to draw the sword, and when he saw that the other two were sleeping comfortably, he couldn't bear to wake up, so he tiptoed away in search of the demonic qi.
The dragon blade behind it is faintly emitting golden light!
This phenomenon indicates that danger is approaching!
Conversion began to walk up the stairs, because he faintly felt that something was moving upstairs, although his steps were very light, but Conversion had a good ear since he was a child, so he would not easily hear it wrong.
He slowly pulled out the dragon blade behind him, a cloud of golden light covered the sword, and then walked up step by step......
"Woo woo woo ~ ~~~"
The woman's cry instantly spread throughout the corridor.
He looked around, but the dragon blade in his hand was raised in front of his chest, full of vigilance, just waiting for the enemy to attack and kill with one blow.
The cry was terrible, if he wasn't from the underworld, he would be scared to pee his pants like ordinary people, right?
"My sister carried the doll on her back and went to the forest to see the flower ........."
The crying did not stop, and during this time, the sound of the little girl playing was heard again.
The ascension did not comprehend it, and continued to walk slowly forward.
At this moment, the rooftop of the library.
A white-haired old man in a brown robe stood there.
The old man tapped the pattern painted on the ground with the cane in his hand, and the corners of his mouth did not forget to read: "Life is endless, life and death go hand in hand, all things in heaven and earth, there is a master who must be spring and autumn......"
In an instant, the pattern on the ground faintly emitted a green light.
Take a closer look at this pattern, there is a thing that looks like a human head painted on it, but there are also things like Tai Chi gossip in it, and in the front and back of this pattern, there are also jade pendants and other green things, because of the old man's spell, so it glows strongly.
"Day and Night Talk":
One of the information collected
Many supernatural phenomena cannot be explained, people died in the river, Taoist priests looked for corpses, and directly threw a watermelon, and the corpse would float up, why? Because the watermelon is round, representing a person's head and also representing a person, why the corpse floated up, this question may not even be answered by Taoist priests, and the supernatural cannot be explained, but the method is available. For example, if you bleed, if you recite a spell, the bleeding will stop immediately, which is amazing.
