Chapter 10 Two Thousand Books Lent

"Senior sister, why is there a magazine of our club in this place?"

"Minister...... You may not know that every issue of the school magazine is to be checked and reissued by the instructor...... The school journal will be placed in the library before the school inspection."

"The uncut version?"

"Yes."

"Shall we get it later?"

"Wait? Isn't it time for school to be out? Isn't the library closed?"

Mo Ming's face was shocked, as if his worldview had been refreshed.

"Mo Ming, what are you talking about? It's club time."

"Huh? Is there such a time? Aren't you supposed to go home after school?"

"Xiao Ming, don't you know this?"

"Huh? Are those who don't leave after school busy with clubs? I thought it was...... I thought it was ......."

I thought I was in love.

"Mo Ming, you should have no common sense, don't you think it's a bit wrong for our school to get out of school at five o'clock every day?"

"It's a little unreasonable, around 3 p.m., ......."

"I mean it's too early, Harukawa High School is the only high school in the county that has so much time for club activities!"

"Awesome, awesome." Mo Ming clapped his hands distractedly, hehe, a lot of energy doesn't sleep, what are you doing with this moth.

"Okay, does Mo Ming understand?"

"Uh-huh......

"Then let's go to the school library now."

A lazy "Oh!"

After putting their schoolbags in the activity room, the five of them temporarily locked the door of the activity room and went to the school library together.

The school library, with a collection of 100,000 books, is located in the center of the school, imitating the European style building, is a two-story stone building, but the internal building is very modern, with wooden bookshelves and all kinds of books, making people not feel that this is just a high school library.

As soon as I entered the library, there was a librarian holding a book, sitting at the counter, reading carefully.

In addition to various departments and clubs, there is also a position in the school, which is the librarian, who is responsible for managing the books after school from Monday to Friday every week, and has a little stipend, usually two or three people take turns on duty.

Today's is a girl, the girl is a little petite, and the frame is even thicker than the senior sister's, but it seems to look much more cheerful than the senior sister.

At the first sight of this girl, Senior Sister Yang Huhu hesitated a little and muttered in a low voice, "Oops...... The attributes coincide." Then walked away quietly, Qiu Yanzi was a little puzzled after discovering that the senior sister suddenly disappeared.

"Yingjie, do you know where Senior Sister has gone?"

"I don't know, maybe I'm interested in some books."

The four of them walked up to the girl, who seemed to be too involved in reading the book and didn't notice the four of them. Qiu Yanzi touched the girl's head in a ghostly manner, which made Mo Ming and the others a little surprised by her behavior.

"Uh...... That, this classmate, what are you doing here?"

"It's so cute, I can't help it."

「……」

The four of them were petrified in an instant, and Jiang Wentai stood up to relieve the embarrassment.

"Classmate, do you know where Grey Feather magazine is?"

"Is that the school magazine?"

"Yes, yes."

"Turn right on the second floor, the second row of the first bookshelf, count the third book on the left, and start with the third book."

「……」

This time, the other four people began to petrify, and Chen Yingjie was a little surprised, as if she wanted to try something.

"What about "Family in Troubled Times"? Where's this?"

"On the second floor, count the first book on the fourth hand hand of the third bookshelf in the novel area."

"Dream of Red Mansions!"

"On the second floor, count the third book on the left hand in the first row of the fourth bookshelf in the novel area, if you want to read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are two books next to it."

"Plum in the Golden Vase!"

This time it was Wentai who asked.

"How can we have such a book in our school? I'll help you find out what you're talking about."

"No need!" Chen Yingjie's face flushed, and she slapped Wentai on the back of the neck, and said a crisp "Slap!" scolded, "Don't pollute the last pure land of the motherland!"

"Ahh

"Okay, Yingjie and Jiang Wentai don't make a fuss, you go to the second floor to find books, right?"

"Huh? Why the two of us?"

"Alright, Xiao Yingying, let's go."

"Don't call me that, it's disgusting, alas, don't push me, I'll just go."

The two went upstairs, Mo Ming looked at the backs of the two, and then looked at Qiu Yanzi, who was squinting and smiling, and thought, "Maybe this guy is unexpectedly keen."

"It's kind of weird."

The librarian muttered to himself, with a look of confusion on his face, but this confusion was seen by the people who should not have seen it, yes, Qiu Yanzi walked over with an excited face.

"Classmates! Is something happening?"

"Oops......" Mo Ming became nervous for a while, turned around and was about to escape, suddenly a hand gave him nowhere to escape, turned around and saw that his hand was tightly pulled by Qiu Yanzi, and suddenly stood on tiptoe and approached, his clear eyes were almost close to the tip of Mo Ming's nose, and a good smell of lemon filled Mo Ming's nasal cavity, and he couldn't breathe.

"Minister, this is ......"

"This, it's very strange! It's funny, alas! Don't you want to know?"

"I don't want to ......"

"But I want to!"

"I don't want to......

"But I want to!"

"But I want to!" Let Mo Ming have nowhere to escape, as if the curious baby in the air was chirping beside Mo Ming, wanting to escape, but he could only sink deeper.

Taking advantage of Mo Ming's momentary speech, Qiu Yanzi grabbed Mo Ming's hand and blocked it in front of the librarian's sister, very excited.

"Did something happen? We'd love to know."

"It's not our ......"

"Actually, something very strange seems to have happened in the library recently."

"Weird! Are you sure? Is there a ghost or a vampire in the library?"

"Don't say such horrible things...... I'm going to be here alone every afternoon......

"What's that?"

The librarian bit her lip, a little unsure.

"Can you help me with this?"

"We can help you get this in the school magazine."

"Ugh...... Don't, this library is my private space."

Mo Ming thought that the idea of this librarian was a little interesting, it seems that he chose this position for the sake of staying alone, right? Quiet girls are good girls, for Mo Ming.

"We'll help you out, this Mo Ming on my left will definitely be able to do it."

"I can't do it......

"Okay, then I'll tell you."

"No, no, I can't do it......

The librarian turned the library computer to Qiu and the others, and then opened a page, on which was the borrowing record of the book, and the administrator quickly typed a name, this interaction made Mo Ming admire because he was a computer nerd.

With this name came out a large list of borrowing records, seeing this, Mo Ming and Qiu Yanzi were a little dumbfounded.

"This name, four hundred and sixty-seven books borrowed."

"That's amazing, this is a bookworm-level person."

Qiu Yanzi was very surprised, and Mo Ming was also surprised, but he immediately stopped being surprised, because this kind of thing only stayed at the level of surprise, and it was not weird.

"It's a lot of books, but what does it say?"

"It's not too much, it's too much."

"If you have been studying in the first and second years of high school, this amount is understandable, right?"

"But...... However, the library only installed computers last month."

"Last month?"

The two of them were surprised in unison, but the difference was that Qiu Yanzi screamed.

"In other words, 467 books were borrowed in a month?"

"That's right."

Why does a person read so many books? Mo Ming instantly had two conjectures in his mind, one of them, it is impossible for one person to read so many books completely, that is to say, they are borrowed by the class, and the number of books borrowed by a class in a month is more than 400, which may be too much, but it is still within a reasonable range. Second, that is, borrowed books, are not used to read, what are they for?

"These books are not borrowed from the class, because the borrower is in the third grade, and the homeroom teacher in the year of promotion will not let the students borrow extracurricular books collectively."

This girl is very organized, which directly makes Mo Ming rule out a possibility, in this case, things may be more complicated than imagined.

"This senior, have you seen your classmates?"

"No, the time to see and borrow books is during class, and the time I am on duty is during self-study on the evening of the third year of high school, so I don't have the opportunity to meet."

"Is there anything suspicious about anything else?"

Mo Ming asked seriously, and seeing Mo Ming's abnormal expression, Qiu Yanzi snickered, as if to say, "You're still curious."

"Yes, because I was very concerned about the name, I looked through the old borrowed book notebook and found a very strange phenomenon."

"What phenomenon? Could it be that this senior is a monster who devours books? Have you eaten all the books?"

"That's not it, I've made a rough record, this senior has borrowed a total of 2,144 books before."

"Rough ......"

"More than 300 of them were borrowed after computers were installed in the library."

"Huh? Do you want to borrow the borrowed books again?"

"Well, if it's a revisit, it's understandable, but it's a little strange to revisit more than three hundred copies."

"Can I take a look at the notebook?"

The librarian handed the notebook to Qiu Hinato, who took it and looked at it with a subtle expression, "This signature ......

"Elementary school students are all better than his, right?"

"Not only elementary school students, but even classmate Mo Ming is better than him?"

"Hey...... I'm angry."

Qiu Yanzi smiled "hey" and mixed it up, and then looked at the record book carefully, suddenly, with a serious face, this expression made Mo Ming a little nervous.

"What's wrong?"

"That name came up three years ago! Other words! This man isn't in our school at all!"

「……」

"You don't know that your grades are so good, you don't know that there is a thing called repeating a grade......
