Chapter 18: Summer Whiteness (5)
"Ah...... Yes! What? Isn't that caught! ”
The first thing to notice was the instant. As soon as the words ended, everyone looked at the prey in the tiger crab claws.
"It's a white man!" Truth shouted. At that time, she subconsciously put on sunglasses in the early season, which must have been a good shot she inadvertently hit.
The crab tied to the front end of the wooden vine clamps its prey tightly with its double pincers.
That's right, the one that just escaped. Regardless of the tremendous force of the tiger crab pincers, and regardless of whether its body would be cut off, it was still desperately struggling to escape. Suddenly, the tip of the translucent protrusion on its body flashed with a seven-colored light.
"Instantly! Straight! Hold it down! ”
As he shouted these words, Morning Season suddenly realized that his current situation was no different from what he had just said. She and Yuan Tianhua, the four people outside could only stand dumbfounded, and they were in the hypnotism of mimic Bai.
Is it only himself and Yuan Tianhua? Luckily, this time there are powerful helpers - low-level brains that ignore all hypnosis, and fierce crabs that are full of determination to clamp everything and never let go, and gurgle bubbles.
Not only did I wear sunglasses this early season, but I also took care not to look directly at the fluorescent pattern from the beginning, so I didn't feel dizzy. She narrowed her eyes and unleashed her spell, bending and pulling out the glowing protrusions one by one.
"Please stop vandalism."
Out of nowhere, a soft female voice suddenly came, and Zaoji couldn't help but be startled.
And Yuan Tianhua popped, laughed, and got a handsome white eye in the early season.
"Who is it? Where is it? Early Season turned his head and shouted a little shyly.
"What you are damaging is the public property of the library. Please stop vandalism immediately. "I only found out in the early season.
The voice came from the pale in front of him.
"Because you're hypnotizing us."
"Blindness due to light as a self-defense strategy for terminal machinery is recognized by Decree 488722-5. Please stop vandalism immediately. ”
"If you stop hypnotism, I'm not going to pull out any more glowing things."
"Again, warning, please stop vandalism immediately."
The stubbornness of the white color made Zaoji's heart burn, and she also warned: "I also start to warn, if you don't stop, I won't stop." That glowing thing, it's okay to pull it all off, right? ”
Surprisingly, the white immediately stopped glowing. It's just a simple threat, but it seems to be effective.
"Are you alright? Ladies and gentlemen. ”
Early Ji looked at the appearance of the four people, although they were a little better, they were still in a state of loss.
"Unravel the hypnotism on them now! Or I'll pull it all out for you! Early Season said sternly. Pseudonympho replied hurriedly, "The effects of the dazzling caused by light will decay over time. According to the results of the National Institute of Psychiatric Medicine's 49463165, there will be no sequelae. ”
"Unravel the hypnosis. Now, horses, on. Otherwise......"
There's no need to go on. Suddenly, there was a deafening sound. In the early season, he hurriedly covered his ears and endured the sharp pain like a pinprick, and the four people next to him woke up like a dream.
And Yuan Tianhua, the bastard, was still snickering beside him.
In the early season, he was too lazy to care, and slowly turned his head back to the side of the white man, and the questions he wanted to ask were as many as mountains.
"Who are you? What the hell is it? ”
"I'm the Tsukuba branch of the National Diet Library."
"Library?"
"If you want to search for models and models, I'm the Panasonic self-propelled type database, autonomous evolution version SE-778Hλ type."
Although they didn't understand the explanation at all, even if it was a monster, such a self-introduction was too out of the norm. It's like walking down the street and someone suddenly comes running up to you and says hello, I'm a public hall or a school.
"You mean you're a library yourself?" Early Ji carefully considered the choice of words and sentences, and asked.
"Exactly."
When she carefully examined the pale body again. Once it stops writhing and glowing, it does look like something has been made.
"So, where are the books?"
"The paper-based interface has been completely oxidized and corroded, or burned in the chaos of war and vandalism, and it is impossible to confirm its existence."
"I don't really understand it, but to put it simply, it means that there is no book, right? That is, are you an empty library? ”
"All the information is stored in a holographic memory disk with a library capacity of 890 petabytes."
I don't know what it's talking about.
“…… If you deliberately use some pretentious words to fool us, it would be better to pull out all those tentacle-like things on your body. ”
Early Season isn't usually that good at threatening. But looking at the girl in front of him, Yuan Tianhua felt the beauty of this world for the first time.
"All the contents of the books are stored in my internal memory device, and they can be accessed at any time." Almost immediate. I still don't understand the meaning, but it looks like it should be better.
"All the books, what's going on?" I finally interjected when I was able to speak, but it was still difficult to pronounce.
"As of the year 2129 AD, 3,822,506 books were published in Japanese, and 671,630 reference books were printed in other languages, including English."
The five men looked at each other. The largest library in Kamisu 66 Town, located in the village of Chiwona, usually has less than 3,000 books in the public collection, and even if you count all the books in the underground library, it is not enough for 10,000 books at most. This small body can hold nearly 4,000 times more books, which can only be regarded as a cold story of Jue.
"Does the meaning that you can read it at any time mean that it can be read at any time?"
"Exactly."
"So, for example, if I were to ask any question, would you be able to find the right answer in such a small and so many books?" Early Ji Gu Liang asked suspiciously.
"Yes. The average time required for retrieval is sixty nanoseconds. ”
Tsukubaku, the Tsukuba branch of the National Diet Library, replied proudly. I don't know how long 60 nanoseconds is, but I guess it's about the same as 60 seconds.
"That, that...... I asked......"
The early season suddenly became excited. Everything she wanted to know so far could be answered, and hundreds of questions came to her mind at once.
"Why are there so many toads in this area?" It was a little bit of time before I felt that I had asked this discouraging question.
"You're a library, why do you look like this?" This is the question of truth. Instant seems to be asking something, but because of hypnosis, my head is still a little confused, and my pronunciation is not very clear.
"What about me...... What I want to ask is, "I have finally decided what question to ask: "Do the so-called evil spirits really exist?" And then what about karma? ”
After that, everyone waited with bated breath for an answer. Who knows, sixty seconds have passed, two minutes, three minutes have also passed, but the white man has not said a word.
"Hey, what's the answer!" Jue finally couldn't help but ask.
"User registration is required for inquiry and search services."
There was no guilt in the white voice that we had waited so long.
Hahaha!! ~~ Seeing the expressions of these bear children at this time, Yuan Tianhua couldn't help it anymore and laughed out loud.
"Pushanhua!! Shut up!! As if to provoke the anger of the public, the five people pointed their spearheads at Yuan Tianhua and looked at Yuan Tianhua with fierce eyes.
"Why didn't you just say it!" Jue's voice became a little scary. It's like asking about Yuan Tianhua, and at the same time asking about Pseudo Bai.
"How do I get a user login?"
Ignoring Jue, he only answered the question of the truth later.
"Users who can register must be at least 18 years old, and in order to prove their name, address, and age, they must provide one of the following documents: driver's license, health insurance card (with address), passport (with a copy of the travel voucher containing the date of birth and the part with the current address), student ID card (with the date of birth and address), a copy of the residence card (within the last three months), and other public documents and corresponding certificates. All of the above documents must be within the validity period. ”
"Over eighteen? However, we ......"
"In addition, the following documents are not accepted, so please be sure to pay attention: membership card, student ID card (without residence or date of birth), commuter pass, business card, ......"
The things listed in the white list are probably the names of pieces of paper that were valid a long time ago. From this, we can get a glimpse of the wonderful corner of that wonderful era when documents were more important than people.
"I don't have any of those things, what should I do?" I asked.
"If you have not registered as a user, you will not be able to use the inquiry and search service." Pseudo-white replied in a soft and pleasant voice.
"Then it can't be helped. Anyway, let's get rid of you first and go straight to the book. ”
"The perpetrator of the sabotage will be the subject of criminal punishment."
"How? Anyway, pull out all the tentacles first, and then chop them in half? Zaoji said as if he was discussing how to cook food.
"yes. Do you have to peel that rubbery skin before you cut it in half? Sensing my intentions, he smiled.
“…… Document verification procedures are omitted. Now for the user login process! She called out in a female voice that was more comfortable than she had just felt.
"Please ask each user to say their name as clearly as possible in turn."
Several people stood in front of the pseudo-white in order according to what it said, and said their names.
"The iris, voiceprint authentication and brain MRI image authentication are over, and the user login is valid. Mr. Akinuma Akina, Ms. Maria Akizuki, Mr. Satoru Asahina, Mr. Mamoru Ito, Ms. Saaki Watanabe, and Mr. Urayama Kawa will be able to use the inquiry and search service for three years from today. ”
"So, around here, why are there so many clams......" Instantaneously blocked the mouth of Jue, who still wanted to ask such a boring question, with his right hand.
"Although there are a lot of questions to ask, first of all, please answer the question you asked in the early season. …… Do so-called evil spirits really exist in the world? What about karma? ”
This time, he thought for less than a second.
"There are 671,441 entries for 'evil ghosts' in the database, which can be roughly divided into two sets. (1) It is an imaginary existence that has been scattered in legends since ancient times, and it is regarded as a thing of the same kind as demons, youkai, and ghouls, but it does not actually exist; (2) A term for mentally ill patients with Raman Coulokius syndrome, also known as the 'fox in a chicken cage' syndrome, which appeared at the end of prehistoric civilization. Although its existence cannot be confirmed now, the fact that it existed in the past cannot be refuted, and there is a high probability that it will reappear in the future. ”
A few people looked at each other, and although they couldn't fully understand what he was saying, they could feel that the content was by no means harmless to humans and animals that could be learned in class, but knowledge that should never be known to everyone.
"Karma is a common name for severe patients with Hashimoto Apelupaum Syndrome, who appeared before the collapse of prehistoric civilizations. Like evil spirits, there are no existing karmic demons, but the danger of them happening is not low. ”
"That's ......," he said for a moment.
Seeing his blue side face in the early season, it was almost painful to understand what he was thinking right now.
Don't ask any more. The subconscious mind warns everyone so.
But knowing that it is impossible, he still insists on opening Pandora's box, which is the eternal human nature that has not changed in history.
