Volume VI, Chapter XXVI: The Village Library

I collapsed on the haystack, digesting what I had just eaten, and seeing if I could break the lock with skill. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This lock is so big that I don't have the ability to break its cylinder. If it is one of those smaller iron locks, pull it directly to both sides, the lock cylinder will be damaged, and the lock will fail.

If I break it with violence, I won't be able to disguise it when the guy guarding the door comes in.

"Master, why do you keep ignoring me?" Just as I racked my brains to get rid of the chain, the voice of Cirdra sounded in my head again.

Immediately, he was stunned and asked, "Could it be that you can still pick the lock?" ā€

"Why not?" "I don't have a key, but don't forget, I use my energy field to control objects." Hey! I am the master key, only I am, and this backward iron lock is pediatrics. I directly control the energy field to make the lock cylinder go back, won't the lock be opened? ā€

"My day!" I scolded in my heart, with a guy like you, I will simply go directly to be a thief in the future, and it is only a matter of minutes to open a lock.

"You're going out?" She asked.

"Let's see if Xiao Ruo is here. It's almost noon. She said yesterday that she would probably arrive here at noon today. ā€

"Good!" She answered, and the space around me immediately fluctuated slightly...... This is the fluctuation emitted by the air molecules under the action of an energy field.

Click!

The iron lock made a crisp sound, and the curved structure on it popped out directly,

"You ......" Su Xuan looked at me, dumbfounded.

"Surprised?" I laughed, "I'm a professional thief, so ...... Be careful with what you have in your home. ā€

"Then you let me go!" She winked at each other.

"Forget it!" I smiled in my heart, it would be quite troublesome to bring such a person, and I would come and release her when I left.

I didn't speak, and directly asked Xi'er Zhuo to take out the Illusory World Seal from its miniature field, confusing Su Xuan and the gatekeeper outside. Then walked out.

Stretching out to the sun.

Hey! Don't you look at who I am? Such a thing is trying to trap me.

The janitor was still very responsible, holding a scimitar, standing motionless outside the wooden fence.

I grimaced at him and swaggered away, he couldn't see me anyway.

Oh yes!

If only I had thought about using the Phantom World Seal to disguise myself just now.

It's just that getting caught isn't a bad thing, at least I know a lot of information from Su Xuan.

Stepping on the mud on the ground, he walked straight to the entrance of the village.

It's empty, and there's still no one.

Sent a command to the fighter plane, telling it to fly into the air to reconnoiter and see if there was any shadow of Xiao Ruo around.

I worked for more than ten minutes, but I still didn't find anything.

I looked at the time, and after such a delay in the village, it was already half past twelve at noon. Why hasn't this girl shown up yet? Could it be that she had other troubles along the way?

The indescribable depression in my heart let the fighter lurk above the clouds, use the infrared detector to monitor the stuffy Li Dam below, and if someone comes, then expose the clouds, and use the high-definition camera to identify whether it is Xiaoruo.

I have to say that these alien technologies are really worry-free.

It's just that this fighter doesn't have a character recognition function, and it was added to it by Xierzhuo later. Because in addition to helping me fight and rescue Yaya, the main task of the fighter at present is to search, which determines that it must have a strong reconnaissance ability.

Back in the village, it was only then that I began to look at the layout of the entire village.

Among these houses, there is one that is quite glaring.

It's like an ancient government yamen.

And this ancient building is located right behind that square.

From the position of the stone statue, walk a hundred meters from behind the stone statue and you will reach the bottom of this magnificent building.

In front of me, there were ten steps, and above the gate, there were three official letters: the Council of Elders

This is the "extremely vicious" Council of Elders that Su Xuan said?

It's just a village, how can there be such an institution?

I know that in some places where ethnic minorities live, there are indeed offices similar to "elders". This kind of people are generally old and respected old people, who participate in and discuss the affairs of the clan.

But even then, they are not full-time, but only "part-time". When there is something in the clan, they come forward, and when there is nothing in the clan, they are just ordinary people.

However, I never imagined that in such an isolated place, there would be such a special "Council of Elders"! And it also has an office space! How much do they really have to deal with? So much so that you need a dedicated office space?

And in such a small village, where are there so many things to deal with?

Unless......

I began to overturn my previous perception that the village was "isolated"!

They are not really isolated from the world, but they maintain contact with the outside world in a very secret way!

Moreover, the connection is very close, and their contact with the outside world is also very extensive. So, every day, there is a huge amount of information pouring in here that needs to be processed by the Council of Elders.

This is just a place similar to Zhongnanhai!

Moreover, it is not easy to find! Even if their people were turned upside down outside, no one would have thought that the mastermind behind the scenes would squat in such a remote place.

The door was open, and there was an indescribable silence all around.

A sense of solemnity enveloped the surroundings, and even the bamboo leaves no longer swayed.

I walked up. On either side of the gate, there are two pillars, with a diameter of about 50 centimeters.

The two wooden doors are also very tall. It's a full eight meters.

Inside, there was a huge conference room that could accommodate three thousand people.

On either side of the conference room, there are countless books.

I was dumbfounded.

No wonder that girl has a bookish aura on her body, it turns out that there is also this huge library in it!

In a remote place, with such a huge number of learning resources, what are they going to do?

The walls are seven or eight meters high, densely packed with books. Bookshelves are attached directly to the wall, and in front of the bookshelves is a cloister for books to be consulted. And such a cloister has four floors!

Oh yes! I couldn't help but feel a cold sweat, such a collection of books can definitely wipe out more than 90 percent of the libraries of institutions of higher learning in the country.

And in the conference room, in the corridor, there are some teenagers and girls, who are all quietly reading books at the moment.

What a rich learning atmosphere, is this really a remote village?

Blame! It's really weird!

I couldn't help but go up to the cloister.

The books on the shelves, both new and old, are all in front of you, from the ancient "Notes on the Book of Water", "Tiangong Kaiwu", "Analects", "Zizhi Tongjian", "Historical Records", "Mengxi Writings", to today's "Scream", "Imitation" and "Mao Xuan", all of which are presented in front of you.

What "The Wealth of Nations", what "War and Peace", what "Practical Applications of Differential Calculus", whether ancient or modern, whether Chinese or foreign, as long as it is a famous book, you can see it here.

Astronomy and geography, humanities and history, science and technology and culture, education and sports, medicine and health, these books cover almost all existing fields.

Oh yes! Who are these people, and how can there be so many books?

Astound! There was no second word in my heart except shock.

Here, I even saw a couple of books that were extinct out of the outside.

A deep admiration arises spontaneously, what kind of nation is this, since it will be easy to learn this level?

Suddenly, I had the idea of sitting down and studying quietly.

Xierzhuo also sighed, muttering, "This database is too huge. It's just that the hardware doesn't support it, otherwise I'd just scan them all into my database. Master, I used to think that people on this planet were out, but now I have changed my mind. It's really changed. ā€

There were many more doors in the cloister, and when I entered through them, I was even more amazed. It's still a library inside!

This library is quite large, a full 100 square meters!

And there are actually seven or eight such libraries!

At this time, I also saw that this library could not be made overnight, so many books, I don't know if it has been accumulated over several generations!

In one of the "stacks", I even saw a modern electronic reading room!

Oh yes! It's a modern library.

Damn! Who said this is the middle of nowhere?

Hehe! If this place really wants to develop and publish this library, it will definitely be a sensation in the world! I don't know how many experts and scholars will be attracted here.

At the bottom, there are more than a dozen rooms, and this is the office of the Presbyterian Church!

I saw more than twenty people working on the files inside.

Driven by curiosity, I leaned in, but what I didn't expect was that the documents were full of passwords!

I can't read a word!

Astound!

Once I got here, I realized what it meant to be shocked!

Stuffy Li Dam! This is an organization with an organization, a purpose, and a faith!

But why do they live in such a place? What exactly do they want to do?

I do not know!

But they don't look like reactionary forces. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't see any riots, any uncivilized behavior, and no thermal weapons here!

What exactly are they doing? How can so many talented people be willing to stay in such a place?

If they really want to do something, I'm afraid that a country will also be subverted by them in a few minutes!

Judging from their collection of books, there are not a few books related to modern science and technology, if they really want to rebel, let alone guns and ammunition, they are afraid that they can make aircraft and artillery.

In the innermost part of the ground floor, there is also a room.

But at this moment, the door to this room is closed.

It reads: "Family Archives! ā€

Hehe!

What's in it?

I was curious, but I didn't dare to force my way in at this time.

There are so many people in here that even if they can't see me, as soon as I make a sound, I'll soon be noticed.

I was in shock when I felt a tap on the shoulder.

This is really a big deal!

I am hidden in the illusion of the illusory seal, how can anyone still see me?

He turned around and was about to summon Xierzhuo, but he froze for a moment.

In front of her, there was a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth and a smile. Her eyes were full of doubts.

It's actually the girl I saw before!

She lipsed, "Why are you here?" ā€

I didn't get it.

She stamped her foot and wrote in her notebook with a pencil, "I said, how did you end up here?" ā€

She showed me the phrase and then continued to write in her notebook: "It's dangerous here, you come out with me first." ā€

I hesitated, then nodded.

She rushed out with a copy of Mathematics and Modern Economics.

I followed.

Turn left and right, and soon you're behind a bamboo forest outside a library.

Her face flushed, and she asked again, "Why did you come out here?" Did you know that this place is dangerous for you? ā€

I looked at her and asked suspiciously, "Can you see me?" ā€

She bit her red lip and stamped her foot: "At first I couldn't see, but then I felt a pain in my head, and I saw you." Did you know that if the Council of Elders could have spared you at first, they would have killed you right now? I don't talk about it at all. ā€

"Why?"

She said: "For abnormal people, the Council of Elders will directly issue an assassination order!" Don't let them live in the world. ā€

"What do you mean by an abnormal person?" I continued.

"Like, for example, you'll be invisible! And people who can fly. She grabbed me and said anxiously, "You get out of here now, there are other people in there, they will find you." At that time, no one will be able to save you! ā€

I was a little stunned and asked, "Why are you helping me again and again?" ā€

"Because I don't feel like you're a bad person, and I don't want you dead!"

"Why do you just say I'm not a bad person, in case you lose your eyes?"

"A gut feeling!" She pushed me outside and said, "Besides, the people who come to this place are not here to find someone, you are still the first." You go! There isn't much time left. ā€

All right!

I nodded. In order not to embarrass her, I left anyway.

smiled, turned to her and said, "Take care!" ā€

She smiled and waved at me.

This girl is really likable.

I'm going to walk back to that bullpen.

There's still quite a long way to go.

It's just that it's different from the outside, the roads in this village are all paved with stone slabs, there is no mud, and it's very easy to walk.

The bamboos on both sides of the road emit bursts of fragrance, refreshing and comfortable.

Suddenly I don't want to go back to the bullpen. Why go to such a bad place when there's such a good place?

Jumping onto a stone slab and crossing Erlang's legs, intending to rest here for a while.

I wasn't in a hurry to find Xiaoruo last night, I didn't sleep much, and now I'm really sleepy.

Anyway, there are fighters watching from outside. If Xiao Ruo comes, Xierzhuo will wake me up.

I still used the illusion seal around me to set up the illusion world, so that other people couldn't see me.

It's so weird here, after all. I'm also getting more and more interested in this stuffy Li Dam.
