Chapter 21: The Temptation of Mestra

Hearing her son's request, her mother, Joanna, shook her head and smiled, thinking that Jonny had discovered the role of the buttons in the study at home, so she told him that the equipment was his father's office equipment, and that the performance and range of use were far beyond the ordinary, but the access to the device signal belonged to the Union's government, so it could only be used by his father, who was a staff member of the Development Committee.

She didn't understand what it meant at all, so she had to say, "There are books in Newton School, why do you want to go home and read them?" ”

This made it impossible for Jonny to plead any longer.

It's okay to ignore the desire to buy a few books at home, but Jonny is a little surprised to find that Joanna doesn't seem to like to read the news or current affairs at home. Most of the holographic panel projections are overwhelming commercials, soap episodes of love and love. In view of this, Jonny had no choice but to defend her in his heart by saying that housewives never had to worry about national affairs.

……

……

After school, Jonny remained in the classroom, trying to figure out a way to get more information. If he just blindly followed Li Baiban's current teaching progress, he would not be able to know the origin of Anubis Gate and the Android Sea for a long time, and how the Unites discovered flexible beams and ultra-long-distance communication particles.

Jonny's goal was first to use the special alloy desk in front of him, he had seen the power of this teaching tool in class, it seemed to be able to connect all materials, or transmit signals directly from the large table on the podium, but when the theme was clear, the information that was expanded and extended by the associations fascinated Jonny, and he tried to make those materials repeat without the courseware.

Jonny clumsily flicked the pulley mechanism and tried to combine it with the buttons on the seat, the holographic interface in front of him cluttered with his careless manipulation.

"You're going to find Dalí at your desk. A's into . People films? "Roger who was originally looking up to the sky. Clark finally woke up at this point.

"That 'The Temptation of Mestra' is a classic that has never been born." The classmate squeezed his eyes at Jonny.

Roger. Clark is most notable for his hill-like tousled hair, which is subverted by the beauty of blonde hair.

He is a beautiful man with deep blue eyes and a high nose bridge, this face with any person should be gentle and elegant classics, but Roger's cheeks and even the tip of his nose and forehead are full of scars, like abrasions, and like sharp scratches, which ruins the original elegant and refined face, but also adds a kind of original wildness to him.

He was muscular, with bulging muscles in his limbs, and he had been a lazy person who couldn't sleep since Jonny first saw him.

"I'm just looking for some information." Jonny was indifferent to his jokes.

"What information can you have here? I told you, it depends on Dalí. A's good thing, you've got to come with me. Roger cowhide coaxed.

"Can you tell me where I can find information about the Kanders and the Martial Emperor system?" Jonny had a pleading expression on his face, and Roger was getting up to put on his coat and leave.

"What do you want all that useless stuff for?" Roger tilted his head and stroked his nose and pretended to yawn the boss.

"Nerds all go to the library after school, maybe you can go and join them." He shook his head and walked out the door.

Jonny hadn't really thought much of the library, and he wasn't sure if he could find such a place in a world full of holographic watches, but hearing Roger say that, he felt that things were starting to turn a little bit.

"Where's the library?" Jonny hurriedly asked.

"Whoever cares about that, ask for the guide sign, I've never been there." Roger impatiently dropped a sentence and left.

……

……

Because the campus is so large, if it weren't for the guidance of those smart street signs, Jonny might not have found his way at all. He'd been at Newton School for a few days, but he hadn't really paid attention to the ubiquitous transparent cuboids, which he thought were just decorations, but when you get closer, the center of it reveals a milky white background with some user-friendly options for you to choose from.

Students can ask questions, make appointments, and ask for directions, as well as a holographic phone and campus presentation. As soon as Jonny asked him for directions to the library, he gave the direction arrow, and when you reached the fork in the road, you didn't have to ask again, and the other board sensed his approach, and gave the same guidance arrow, and when Jonny passed, the arrow disappeared.

In this way, I walked around the dark-leaved flower garden planted with mandala chrysanthemums and scorpiontail orchids, and from the Kongming Bridge to the north, I followed the humble path and winded around it, and finally came to the only library in Newton School Park.

Tucked away among a forest of lush rainshirts, the library is quiet and tranquil as it is far removed from the school buildings and sports fields. The open space in front of the museum is full of birds, the pale yellow raincoat leaves are all over the ground, and a cleaning machine is slowly doing its work, and it seems to be infected with the same rhythmic atmosphere.

Jonny walked up the white steps, and the automatic door 'clanged', and after reading his message, a soft female voice said, "Jonny. Kent students, welcome to the Wimbledon Library at Newton School for the first time. ”

……

In front of the orange reading desk, Jonny was clutching his hair in confusion, he had been fiddling with the panel of the reading desk for almost an hour, he had searched for a lot of information of interest, but few of them could be opened for him to read and see.

There were no students in the library at this time, and at the long reading table in a row that could seat a dozen readers, Jonny was the only one frowning and clicking between the screens, from the slight nervousness and novelty of entering the library, to the dismayed discovery that the material items available for him to read here all had their own permission levels.

He wanted to know where exactly humanity came from. What's going on Landing Day? What happened before? However, the search for these questions immediately triggered red bullet bars on the feedback screen, which stated that the clearance of a Level 3 researcher or higher was required.

And when he tried to change some keywords and look up words such as Cyber War, Feather God and Feather Federation and these words, another blue prompt that required reading permission for Level 4 citizens popped up from the interface.

Jonny was amazed, because it would have been explained if it had happened on a holographic watch, but this was a library! It's a place where everyone should be free to access information, and why is there still restrictions even here? He was so out of his temper.
