Chapter 886: Intermission IV
University of Miskatani, Secret Library. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
If the most mysterious place in the University of Miskatanic is undoubtedly here, it is even the most searched place in the world, and there are very few places that can compare to it.
This library not only contains books on history, humanities, and science from all over the world, but more importantly, it also has a large number of magic books.
It's not an exaggeration to say that this is the most dangerous and greatest library in the world.
Places that ordinary people have never heard of are only accessible to senior scholars. The secret area, which is usually barely opened, is not peaceful, and several figures are lit on the shelves in an environment where there is only a faint light to preserve books.
In the atmosphere that was not calm, the surroundings were quiet, as if something was brewing with bated breath, and finally a voice sounded after a long silence.
"That's it."
Phillips pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked up from the old book.
"Did you find it?"
Hearing Phillips' voice, Natsuo and Miyuki, who were also looking for books or in a daze, walked over. Because they can't help much, Qiu Hua and Hatsu Sakura are still in the hospital.
"Yes. According to the previous description of the dream, the location has basically been determined after checking the environment. ”
Phillips replied to Natsuo, who was beside him, and then continued before Miyuki asked.
"It's a city called Yanan......"
While pointing to the contents of the book, Phillips told the two of them the history of Yanan.
"You know a lot about the things of Anan."
Hearing half of Miyuki, she couldn't help but say.
In fact, the Byron Weiss Society has a strong connection with us, the former Society of New Truth. To put it simply, we belong to the same source from the beginning, because most of the occult scholars at that time had some connections, but limited by the objective conditions at that time, the contact between the parties could not reach the level of today, so they only maintained a loose structure. This information was also passed on to us by Byron Weiss. ”
Phillips explained the origin of the information.
"And what about the result?"
Xia Xu motioned for Phillips to continue.
"It's all gone. Whether it's Yanan or Byron Weiss, they're all gone. ”
"Disappear?"
"Someone has been to the original site of Yanan, but it is empty, as if it has been erased from the map."
"Because of the taboo of research?"
Xia Xu said playfully.
"Hmm. According to the record, after the discovery of the ancient ruins at Byron Weis, we tried to dissuade them, but they were not heard, and after some time they cut off contact with each other and stopped sharing information, until they disappeared. ”
"Is there a documented reason?"
Miyuki immediately asked.
"The exact cause is only speculation, but the cause can probably be found based on the source."
As he spoke, Phillips picked up another big old book from the side.
"The rise of Yanan is because of the ancient ruins, which developed because of the relics excavated from them, and then disappeared for some reason."
In other words, the problem lies in the ruins.
"According to the research at the time, this relic belonged to the ancient Sumerian kingdom. In fact, the name Yanan is derived from the name of the last queen of the Sumerian kingdom. ”
At this time, Xia Xu had already taken another book and read it at a superhuman speed, but she had already finished reading it in a moment.
"I see."
"What's going on?"
Miyuki looked at Natsuo eagerly.
"At that time, the Sumerian kingdom had mastered quite high-end mysterious technology, and even began to come into contact with those unknown beings."
"Unknown existence?"
"Don't you know best."
"Ahh
Miyuki reacted.
"The kingdom of Sumer came into contact with the power of the evil gods and tried to bring it down, and in fact succeeded, at least for the record."
"What?"
This sentence scared Miyuki.
"Well, such a thing as an evil god is also a mixed bag, and not everyone can destroy the world."
Xia Xu said casually.
"The scholars' speculations are also very bold. The Sumerian kingdom continued to pursue and use the power of evil gods, creating a number of evil gods or similar gods, so that they were extremely powerful for a while. And when it came to Queen Anan, the last monarch of the Sumerian kingdom, she tried to give birth to a powerful superior, but failed for some reason, and eventually led to the decline of the entire Sumerian kingdom, leaving only the ruins. ”
Xia Xu had already finished reading the surrounding information.
"That's what it's recorded in."
"This is the earliest example of human contact with an unknown being, so I learned about it."
If it weren't for that, Phillips would have been hard to find so quickly in this vast sea of books.
"Later, Yanan's disappearance was also believed to have been damaged by the evil gods, and eventually both disappeared together."
"This incident directly involves the evil god, so it is more likely to be related to the four seasons."
Xia Xu couldn't help but shake his head.
"It's like being favored by an evil god, what kind of world is this?"
"I feel like I'm lucky to be alive until now."
Miyuki said with a little headache.
"So what do we do now? Isn't it gone? ”
"Disappear...... Is it really gone? ”
Xia Xu thought lightly as he nodded his lips.
Mr. Phillips continued to search for relevant information. Perhaps we should go on the ground and do some research. ”
"Okay."
"Before that, let's go and tell Qiuhua and Kochu Sakura about the results of the investigation."
Just as they were about to leave, the door was opened quickly, and Hatsuzakura swooped in and landed in front of them.
"Ahh
"What's wrong?"
Natsuo asked while touching Hatsu Sakura's head.
"Sick man, it's getting weird!"
“?”
When the group returned to the hospital, they saw Qiuhua waiting for them.
"Up to now, the patient's condition was very stable, but all of a sudden all the patients had an extremely abnormal mental reaction."
Corresponding to Qiuhua's words, some of the patients on the hospital bed were convulsive, while some of their limbs began to show obvious symptoms of alienation.
Such a large-scale collectivization is undoubtedly an indication of what happened, but they have no way of knowing the exact circumstances.
Xia Xu pursed his lips, fell into thought, and looked at everyone again after a moment.
"I have an idea that maybe I can try. However, it can be very risky, and there are evil gods involved, so it can be extremely dangerous......"
"Don't say anything like that."
"Just tell us if you have anything, you're a companion."
"Ahh
Seeing the reaction of the three of them, Xia Xu was slightly stunned, and then smiled.
"I see."
