Chapter 175: Ghost Story
In the evening, the library. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The library of Upton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is divided into three floors, each of which requires a corresponding identity permission to enter. On the first floor, as long as you are an ordinary student, you can enter and choose to read or borrow books inside. On the second level, only some students in the upper grades can enter the reading and cannot be borrowed. The third level is usually only accessible to authorized instructors or students.
Janice and Zeche were rummaging through books in the library.
Janice usually comes to the library to find biographies, historical accounts and other storytelling books to read. This time, she also found a biography called "The Legend of the Mercenary King Ogden".
The Mercenary King Ogden is the founding emperor of the Ogden Empire among the four great empires today. More than a thousand years ago, before he established the Ogden Empire, the mercenary legion he established was the largest and strongest mercenary legion in the entire continent of Moses. And this mercenary legion has remained until now, and it is still the largest and strongest mercenary legion registered by the Mercenary Guild.
The book Zeqi was looking for was an explanation of the Elemental Array diagram. The book explains in detail the interaction of the magical elements at each position on the magic pattern.
The two of them chose a book and began to look for an empty seat to read. There are many people who come to the library to read books in the evenings, and the seats are often filled.
"Hey, there's two of them together, let's go there. Janice said suddenly, and walked over.
"Hmm. Zech nodded.
Janice walked over to her seat and sat down, only to find an acquaintance sitting across from the same table.
"Winnie, are you coming to the library to read too?" said Janice.
Winnie looked away from the book and looked up at Janice and Zeche. She glanced at Zeqi even more lightly, and hurriedly looked away.
"Hmm. Winnie whispered, and continued to look down at the book.
Nowadays, Janice does not have a very good relationship with Virginia and Zenia, who are in the same dormitory, but has always maintained a dull roommate relationship with Winnie.
"What are you reading?" Janice suddenly smiled and picked up the book Winnie was reading.
"Ah!" Winnie called softly, but instead of snatching her book, she just stared blankly at Janice.
"Campus Notes." Janice read the title of the book.
"I think you also like to read the campus notes of our campus. I like it too. I've seen almost all the campus notes in this library. Janice looked at the books curiously, then suddenly frowned again, and said, "Hey, I don't seem to have read this campus journal." Looking at the old appearance of the book, it seems to be a very old book. Where did you find it? I haven't found it before. ”
"Yes, I asked my part-time librarian to help me find it in the old library. Winnie whispered.
"Hmm. The book will be returned to you, and don't return it after reading it for a while. Lend me a look. Janice handed the book back to Winnie.
"Oh. Winnie nodded, grabbed the book and began to read again.
"By all means. Janice added, fearing that Winnie would not lend it to her.
Once Janice and Zech were seated, they began to read the books in their hands.
After looking at it for a while, Zeqi felt the sound of Winnie's flipping book on the other side of the desk. He peeked at it, only to see that Winnie was very fast at reading the books, and at such a fast reading speed, it was simply ten lines at a glance.
"Is she really reading so fast, or is she looking for something, and she doesn't see what she needs and immediately flips through it. Zech muttered to himself.
After a while, Winnie handed the book to Janice and said, "Here you go, I'm done." ”
"So fast?" Janice was stunned.
"Hmm. Winnie nodded, then asked, "Janice, have you seen any other campus notebook books in addition to the memo section?"
"Well, let me think about it. Janice propped her head in her right hand and pondered.
Halfway through, Janice shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it, but some interesting things on campus have been heard a lot among the seniors." One of them was an interesting story that I couldn't see in books. ”
"What's that?" asked Winnie in a hurried voice.
"It's about ghosts, souls, it's scary, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night after listening to it. Janice whispered.
"Can you tell me about the soul?" Winnie suddenly leaned forward and looked at Janice earnestly.
Winnie rarely talks to her classmates, so she doesn't listen well to some things in the college.
Janice was also stunned, she said that it was terrifying, Winnie was still listening so actively, it didn't match her usual weak appearance.
She cleared her throat and began to whisper: "I heard from the senior that the women's toilet in the college's teaching building was haunted three years ago, and several female students saw female ghosts when they went to the toilet at different times and were frightened. Later, this incident also attracted the Academic Affairs Office to bring the Light Department mage to investigate. But I checked it many times but didn't find any results. In the end, the matter was over, and strangely enough, since the Academic Affairs Office checked, the female ghost has not appeared again. Some people say that the female ghost is wearing the uniform of the Upton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and some people say that she is likely to be a student of the Upton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry three hundred years ago, when she was the first student in the entire Upton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and often went to the school building to study on her own at night. ”
"And how did she die?" it wasn't Winnie who spoke, but a girl sitting next to Winnie, and two or two other students came over to listen.
It is said that this talented girl accidentally slipped and fell to her death one night when she went to the toilet after self-study. Because she was unwilling to die like this, when she died, she had a strong resentment, so her ghost remained in the academy and did not disperse. ”
"It's terrible!" said the girl who had just spoken, her face turning pale.
Winnie, on the other hand, didn't react much.
At this time, the librarian came over and said in an commanding tone: "These students, this is the library, please don't chat here." ”
Janice and the others hurriedly lowered their heads and read the book. Winnie also left her position and continued her search for other books.
