Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Gods Rule the World

The space area of the room that seems to be the location of the large library is very large, and there are countless bookshelves alone, and the books stacked densely on it are naturally even more vast.

Fortunately, the curtains of the windows next to it are opened, which not only has plenty of natural light, but also just enough to see the boundless and spectacular sea of flowers below the cliff, so it does not look so dim.

Otherwise, Mu Xiu's desire to find what he needs in it will probably become more difficult - because mental power scanning and breath perception will not have much effect at this time.

After all, he is not a true spiritual talent, and the detection accuracy of the current mental power scanning is not enough to search for specific documents in the book on a large scale.

After all, the books are all the same on the outside, and there is no difference in appearance.

The only condition that distinguishes them, from which a particular document can be found, is naturally the text displayed on them.

Flat text is the most troublesome object to search, and centimeter-level detection accuracy is not enough to cope with, because even inkjet and laser printing only add ultra-fine particles to the paper.

- If you look at it from the front, you can see the marks, but if you look at the thickness of the paper itself, they really haven't changed much.

The added thickness and weight is completely negligible. Not to mention centimeter-level detection accuracy, even for those with subtle mental ability, this is a rather laborious thing.

What's more, the books here are estimated to have nothing to do with inkjet printing and laser printing, and may be even darker than the blackest black technology.

Therefore, if Mu Xiu wants to find a specific book, album or drawing in this room, he needs a keen eyesight and intuitive premonition. And, of course, a little bit of luck.

And, one of the most important reasons is -

I don't know why, it should be said that it is very inexplicable, since entering this castle, Mu Xiu has always felt more like an ordinary person, or he should feel that he should be an ordinary person.

Completely subconscious, he was unwilling to use any special abilities or even the power of gods.

Of course, it is not that the various spells and skills he has mastered have been deprived by the environment, or that the realm level and inhuman level he has reached have been suppressed by the law, but a subconscious change in mentality and behavior that has no reason at all.

How so?

That's right, let's take the current big library-like room as an example! Generally speaking, when it comes to the library, what kind of atmosphere is the first thing that comes to mind?

- Silence, tranquility, no noise and largely silent.

Basically, when most people enter public places such as libraries or reading rooms, they will subconsciously slow down their steps and movements, and try not to make noise or make too much noise.

Whether or not there are other people in it will not prevent people from making such knee-jerk actions, as if those places have become an inherent realm with its own rules.

Mu Xiu was the same now, as if the whole castle was a library, and he was just a reader who entered it, and he subconsciously didn't want to destroy the silence and tranquility.

It's not that it can't be done, in fact, his current energy flow and physical ability are not really restricted, and he can burst out at any time with the terrifying power that destroys the entire castle.

However, just like a normal person who wants to shout in the library, if he wants to really do such a thing, it is not the rules and regulations of the external environment that prevent him, but the psychological pressure and subconscious reluctance that come from his deep heart.

To be honest, Mu Xiu felt that this situation was actually the most weird.

Because as I said before, the real terrible thing about the ability of the spiritual mind is not in the coercive control, but in the subtle and silent suggestion. Guide people to accomplish all kinds of things according to your wishes unconsciously and will not be rebelled by their will.

However, as a fourth-order intermediate existence that has mastered the psychic power of the absolute self, the will of faith is indestructible, and it is immune to the influence of most spiritual classes.

Mu Xiu is now actually affected by the environment of a castle itself, and he has been quietly implanted with hints?!

Even though he was keenly aware of this and sensed the clues, it was still not funny at all. What kind of royal court city is this ghost place, even if it's a saint's ruins, it's nothing more than this, right?!

Although there has been no danger so far, the details are frightening enough......

……

……

Hey, wait!

Mu Xiu, who was shuttling quickly between the bookshelves, was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head and pondered, then he hadn't thought about this before, why couldn't this be a saint's ruins?!

It seems that he himself has a preconceived idea, and he always thinks that this should be the royal court city?

"If it's really a saint's relic......"

Although he muttered so lowly, Mu Xiu shook his head and continued his previous behavior, that is, to find the map of this place itself, which was the most likely to be found in this large library.

Every book on the shelves seems to have a black cover, which is what they all have in common. The difference is that they are not the same size and thickness, and they don't even seem to have a title......

To be exact, the vast majority of books don't have names at all.

But some of the books on the shelves have names, and most of them seem to be related to the field of mythology.

As for the law and meaning of this, Mu Xiu is completely unclear.

As for the classics with names, just by looking at the names they know are very valuable, and the dazzling aura in his special vision that can almost pierce people's eyes is also wordlessly confirming that these are the so-called "original texts" that are genuine.

However, Musiu was quite sensible and did not open even any of the original texts, in his opinion, that kind of thing was actually the same kind of thing as the various taboo texts in the Cthulhu Mythos.

Necronomicon, The Scroll of Laleye, The Secret of the Worm, The Broken Chapter of Seraeno...... Which of these texts, whether original or manuscript, does not record forbidden knowledge and the mysteries of the universe?

However, the benefits of that knowledge have not been discovered for the time being, but will have an extremely bad impact on the thinking and behavior of the reader, causing endless disasters.

Even Mu Xiu didn't think that he would encounter such a fate - to be honest, even if he read all the original texts word for word and memorized them, he probably wouldn't be affected.

However, once a causal link is created, it is not so easy to eliminate.

The same can be said of the current treasured texts, which are certainly much safer than the forbidden books of the Cthulhu Mythos, but there are some other side effects that should not be underestimated.

Mu Xiu didn't really have any thoughts at all, but now was obviously not the time to be a beautiful man quietly in the library.

So he decided to follow the previous steps, first trying to find the other two, then determining what kind of space the current place was, and finally considering the next step depending on the situation.

As for these original texts, no matter how precious they are, it's not worth risking to look through them now, anyway, they have been kept here for so long, and they can't be so coincidental at this time that they can run away on their own long legs.

"It should ...... This is it, right? ”

Considering that if there was really a backup data like blueprints, it was estimated that it would not be placed indiscriminately, so Mu Xiu rummaged through the bookshelves one by one in order.

Eventually, half an hour later, it was flipped out in the mezzanine between the two books on the fourth shelf.

The floor in the rooms of this large library is also black and white lattice, and it is also waxed and spotless, clean and polished.

So Mu Xiu didn't pay attention to anything, but directly squatted down on the spot and quickly spread out the blueprint on the ground.

Light was projected on the unfolded blueprint, outlining a three-dimensional structural figure in the air, and as Mu Xiu's gaze and attention were concentrated, he constantly changed the direction of rotation, zooming in and enlarging a certain local area.

"Huh? Well, it looks pretty smart......"

The boy was only slightly stunned by this, but he returned to normal in an instant, and he was not surprised. Truth be told, for a place so mysterious, this technology can only be said to be a basic operation.

"Lobby", "Restaurant", "Hiroma", "Atrium"...... Got it! "Library", which means I'm here? Next to it is the "Art Museum...... Tsk, that sounds like a modern layout......"

Squinting his eyes slightly, the young man quickly looked for his target from the rather cumbersome structural diagram, and muttered to himself.

"I came in from the garden outside, and that place is called Paradise? Not the "Royal Gardens"? …… Wait, this is the "Mirror of the Celestial Sphere" I'm looking for? If you pass from me, you have to go through ......."

After a long silence, the air became a little awkward, and Mu Xiu reluctantly admitted the cruel fact that he couldn't make out all the words-

"Well, what's this place for?"

Not only the graphics, but also the text marked on it is also a unified text, which is also a basic operation.

But it is precisely because of this that Mu Xiu has no way to fully interpret it, unless his words can be further strengthened, and then his understanding of the words that determine the meaning itself will naturally be further improved.

Another option is to exchange knowledge about the unified language directly, but that language itself is an A-level reinforcement.

"This is the Angel Factory, go out of the library and turn left three times in a row."

Just when Mu Xiu squinted his eyes and stared at the area he didn't recognize for a long time, a white lotus-like palm stretched out next to him, and his slender white fingers pointed at that area.

At the same time, there was a cold crisp voice in my ears.

"Angel Factory?" Mu Xiu nodded subconsciously, and then became thoughtful, "Wouldn't it be dangerous to pass by there?" ”

"No, it's been out of service for a long time, and there's nothing in that place right now...... If you're not sure, you can take another path, but it's a long detour. ”

"I see, I see."

Mu Xiu let out a long sigh of relief, quickly folded the drawing on the ground, and then stood up and turned around casually: "Thank you very muchβ€”but let me take the liberty of it, who are you?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Naturally silent, the silver-haired girl who appeared behind her at some point was expressionless, and her dark eyes were just staring at Mu Xiu for a moment.

Mu Xiu barely kept smiling and waited for the other party's answer, but the muscles of his whole body were already tense, like a high-yield nuclear bomb that was about to explode.

Some kind of terrifying pressure almost froze the space, every cell in his body trembled, and his mental instinct sounded as if it were exploding, and instinctively told him that this was an enemy that he could never fight.

Obviously, the other party didn't even have the hostility to deliberately target, but this feeling ...... To be honest, it is already a great courage to be able to be normal at this time.

At this critical moment, Mu Xiu felt that no matter whether the other party was hostile or not, he would not have the courage to do it again if he didn't do it-

"God Naruto Ze World." The silver-haired girl was silent for a moment, then whispered, "This is ...... My name. ”

The terrible pressure suddenly disappeared, and Mu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he frowned: "Wait for me...... The name is definitely not yours! ”

The girl didn't say a word, turned her head away and didn't look at him any longer.
