Chapter 124: The Library
After a few moments, the three of us left the conference room and headed for the corridor, where the possessed soldier ran to the right. It was the direction to the library, and I had seen it from the Night Moon Mirror before, and my sister was hidden in the depths of the library, a place that was hidden.
Now the possession is probably heading towards the hidden place in the library, and as Lan Yue said, it is likely to take her sister away. I don't know what the other party's purpose is, but something similar has happened before, and my sister's existence is an extremely rare 'glorious form'.
That is likely to be one of the reasons why the other party abducted her.
"Deep on the second floor, there should be the library, and that person should have gone there." Chikuka said
"yes, we're going there." I said
In the depths of the library, there was a mechanism leading to the hidden chamber, which I had entered before, but the library was so large that I couldn't find the exact location I could see from memory, and I changed to a conference room due to the commotion on the way.
We ran all the way in the direction of the library in the depths of the corridor, and at this moment the general's palace seemed very unpeaceful, and the people walking back and forth were in a hurry, and many of them could not understand what was going on here.
A moment later, we came to the front of the library, paused, and then we walked in.
Inside is a large oval-shaped library, divided into two floors, very large, and the second one to go to should be the upper floor, but even so, we must find the splash in this sea of books, or the possessed soldier.
*
Deep in the library, somewhere on the second floor, there are also rows of tall stacks of books, neatly arranged. In the middle of it, there is a bookshelf near the wall, and there is a hidden layer below it.
The Possessed Soldier, he made his way through the library to the vicinity of the location, and through the iconic objects, quickly confirmed the correct location, and took out the books on the lowest level of the shelf, behind which there was a hidden partition, and when he took it, he could see a rotating mechanism.
Turn it so that the bookshelf can be pulled open, and the man pulled the bookshelf open slightly, and only saw a gap between the bookshelf and the hidden passage behind it. By touching the switch inside, the bookshelf is closed again.
Behind the shelves is a dimly lit passageway, and the road inside is lined with many bookshelves and books, which are still part of the library, but this is a place that few people know about.
There was a light in front of him, and a man was sitting on a table and chair under the light reading a book.
"Eckerd!" The possessed soldier shouted
Hearing this, the silver-haired man who was reading turned his head to look in the direction of the entrance of the passage and saw the figure of a soldier.
So he put the book on the table and said, "Is it you, the general's possession?" ”
"Yes, that's me, give me the key here."
"I see, now I'm almost done for you." Eckerd stepped over to the soldier with the key
The soldier held out his hand, and Eckerd placed the key in the soldier's hand.
"Thank you for your hard work."
The soldier took the key and walked deeper into the passage, while Eckerd glanced back at him and walked out of the passage, "Please, please don't leave the aftermath to me." ”
With that, Eckerd departed in a different direction.
The soldier walked all the way to the end of the passage, where there is a black iron door, to enter must use the key in his hand, the iron gate is not an ordinary iron door, but has an enchantment to prevent ordinary people from entering, ordinary people want to enter even if they force a breakthrough, it will lead to some problems, so use this key.
It's not easy for ordinary people who don't have a key to get in.
*
We entered the library, and when we passed a passageway, we saw an old gentleman sitting at the counter on the side, who was supposed to be the librarian.
When the old man saw a few of us coming, he said, "Is there something going on outside, it looks like chaos around." ”
"Sir, something has happened in the General's Palace, which the officials will say in the near future, I want to ask if you saw a soldier walking by this side just now."
Hearing this, the old gentleman thought for a moment and said, "Soldiers, I saw several people walking by, and they were all very busy, so I asked, but there was a strange fellow, I don't know if he got the wrong direction, and walked towards the staircase on the second floor." ”
Hearing this, Qianjiuhua nodded to the old man: "Thank you." ”
Then he turned to us: "It should be upstairs, let's go." ”
In my memory, the scene I saw from the night moon mirror was on the upper floor of the library, and judging from the words of the administrator, the target of the other party was my sister, and it was very likely that she was in this library.
With that, we walked towards the second floor, and through the circular staircase, we reached the second floor of the library, where there were still mountains of books on it.
"Can't see, where are we going to find that person?" Rock Road
"The library is indeed huge, but you and I should both have the ability to find a target within a certain range, so it seems that it depends on luck." Chiku ikebana
"If I could remember that person's magnetic field, I could search for it in a wide area, but now I can only do it up close." Roque replied
"I have the impression that the person was in a corner of the library, opening the hidden door behind him through a rotating mechanism under the bookshelves." I said
And I began to look around the terrain according to the remnants of my memory, running from left to right all the way, and I tried to find similar places with the help of the remnants of my memory.
Chikuka and Roque also walked with me, and it was indeed difficult to find a bookcase in the vast sea of books with the remaining memories at this moment.
But I couldn't care so much about it, I had to find that spot and keep going back and forth around the bookshelves.
It was near the corners that I looked at the bookshelves close to the walls, closer to the corners. There are several similar places here, which must be identified as soon as possible.
Then, I stopped in front of a corner in the depths of the corridor, and that place suddenly coincided with the corner I remembered, and it was probably there.
"Check it out there." As I spoke, I ran to the bookshelf and began to take out the books from the lower shelf, either the lowest or the penultimate level, and I had just pulled out the bottom of the books, and soon found that there was an inconspicuous partition in it. Pulling it apart, I saw a rotating mechanism, and I reached out to turn the switch.
There was a sound behind him, the sound of the lock being opened.
"Found it."
"Did you find it?" Chikuhana looked at it
"Push the bookshelf open, and the hidden door is in the back." I said
"Okay." Chikuhana said, and activated her ability to move the bookshelf aside.
The tall bookshelves were easily pushed open by the power of Chikuka, and what unfolded before us was a dimly lit passageway.
"Is this the one?" Roque asked
"That's right." I give it my thumbs up
What I saw in the night moon mirror was almost the same as what I saw in front of me, and at the same time, we began to step inside, and there were many books and shelves on either side of the passage.
We continued to move on, and in front of us, we could hear footsteps approaching the place. The lights dimmed, and in front of the winding passageway, a man in a soldier's uniform and hat stepped out.
The man was holding a sack in his hand, which was ajar and seemed to fit a woman in terms of size.
"Is that you? Abductors. I said to the people in front of me
"What are you talking about?" The other party asked rhetorically
"Open the bag and take a look." I said solemnly
"It's a precious thing, and you can't just show it to others."
"It's my sister, right?"
The other party was still very calm, just carrying the bag, and said, "Who knows? ”
There was no denial, no confirmation, but there was no need for that anymore, and in the gap between the sacks I saw my sister's upper body, clothes and hair.
"Give her back to me, it's a warning."
"yes, it looks like we don't have much to say." As the man spoke, a golden glow slowly emanated from behind him, and a golden figure gradually floated into the sky from behind.
The figure was all golden, with upside-down hair like a lion, slender hands and feet, and a pair of golden wings, close to a human form, and it looked like a primordial spirit, but that posture, I had seen it somewhere.
