Chapter 6: Princess Mononoke
"Knock knock...", the sound of striking a bell sounded in the Holy Tower, the sound was heavy and powerful, and each time it sounded, it made the Holy Tower shake for a while.
The light of things like books and books swayed with the sound. Countless luminescent texts were suspended in the air, seemingly in an irregular order, but as if a formation had formed a formation in the darkness to wrap something below.
And as the sound gradually becomes louder, the frequency continues to increase. Among the books and classics, the light emitted is also getting stronger and stronger. The color of each book was different, the history books were purple, the literature books were red, and the other numbers such as medical were blue, and all of a sudden, a colorful light bloomed inside the Holy Tower.
From a distance, it looks like you've entered a magical realm. The different colors lining the outline of the dots inside the Holy Tower are unusually eye-catching.
"Knock knock..." The sound grew stronger and more rapid. Su Youwei put down the pen in his hand and lay on the ground, feeling the source of the sound.
He felt as if the voice was coming from under the Holy Tower.
At this time, night fell completely into the Holy Tower, and there was silence. The only sound left was the inexplicable "thump", and the only light left was the light of the glass ball and the books themselves.
When the sound finally came to the point where there seemed to be no gap, Su Youwei's heart seemed to stop beating together, as if something strangled Su Youwei's heart fiercely, preventing it from making a sound.
Su Youwei only felt that his breathing was getting shorter and shorter, and it was as if a big stone was pressing on his chest, pressing him out of breath.
His right hand seemed to be uncontrollable, clenching his throat tightly, and he could only stretch out his left hand to resist. But it seemed to be in vain, and in less than a moment, a trace of blood flowed from the marks on his neck that was pinched out by his right hand.
"Cough, cough..."All the unpinched eyes of Venus seemed to be about to lose their breath, coughing violently, and at this time of life and death, the books on the side emitted an extremely powerful light, enveloping Su Youwei in it.
Suddenly, the overwhelming pressure seemed to disappear. Su Youwei only felt a loosening of his body, and the moment the thousand-pound pressure disappeared, he moaned comfortably.
He lay on the ground for the rest of his life, and when he looked at the books around him, his eyes couldn't help but show gratitude. He felt as if the books on the side had spirituality, and when he saw that he was about to die, he hurriedly reached out to help.
This made Su Youwei more convinced of what the leader told him———— this book seemed to have its own emotions and consciousness.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to help him get out of the predicament like he had just now, Su Youwei climbed onto the chair next to him and listened to the terrifying thump.
The voice suddenly disappeared, the world fell silent, and the silence around it suddenly seemed strange again. Su Youwei's heart was beating violently for the rest of his life just now, and the hairs on his body stood up.
He felt as if something was staring at him behind him, a gaze that seemed to pierce his soul through his body.
Su Youwei turned his head suddenly, and found that there was nothing where he sensed. He let out a sigh of relief, thinking that he was overthinking.
"Maybe it's the long-term repression that led to the hallucinations."
However, he suddenly looked at the bookshelf beside him. Because he felt the cold gaze again, and there seemed to be a murderous look in it.
I saw a little girl sitting leisurely on the bookshelf. The little girl shook her long legs in white stockings. Rolled up his sleeves and played with his long silky blonde hair.
The girl's body was transparent, but she had a fluorescent protector that allowed Su Youwei to see her.
"This girl is so good-looking, not inferior to Tang Yan at all." This is Su Youwei's first feeling when he meets.
"Who are you? How do you sit there? Su Youwei hurriedly took a few steps back and looked at the little girl vigilantly, but his left hand couldn't help but reach for the brush on the desk on the side.
The little girl smiled crisply: "Hahaha." Are you scared by me? It's no wonder that I haven't drunk human blood for so long, and I can't help but feel a little hungry and thirsty." As she spoke, she showed the row of small tiger teeth, and the girl looked at Su Youwei playfully.
"Stay away from me, or I will wipe you out of this world with this brush."
During this period of time to revise the book, Su Youwei discovered a wonderful function of this brush: that is, it can modify a part of the book cabinet. For example, he once used this brush to erase a vase in the palace. He still remembers touching the vase with a brush and then disappearing, leaving nothing left.
This discovery frightened Su Youwei, and he was extremely careful when he used the brush again, for fear that the brush would touch him, and the ink on the brush seemed to be endless, and he never needed to replenish it himself.
At this time, Su Youwei also had the idea of giving it a try and turning a bicycle into a motorcycle, and was ready to use this brush to scare this little girl who seemed to be a spirit, but the little girl didn't eat it.
I saw him jump off the bookshelf and walk straight towards Su Youwei.
"You came to my territory and you are still so arrogant, do you know that the brush is also mine? That's the hairpin I used to tie the hairpin, but you used it as an artifact, which is also ridiculous. and thou shalt not return to their rightful owners, but give it back to me. The little girl looked at Su Youwei with a smile, her big eyes sparkling with aura.
"Are you a human or a ghost, no, are you an angel or a demon?" Su Youwei said in a trembling voice, after all, he had never seen such a strange thing, he was also an ordinary human being, and he had never seen such a demonic and weird thing.
"Well, you can call me Princess Mononoke. I'm a creature nourished by many, many magical texts, so I don't know what kind of person I belong to, but I guess I'm a spirit. Princess Mononoke said musefully.
The contemplative and steady appearance obviously formed a huge contrast with the immature face, and there was a strange beauty.
"Then will you hurt me, or will you destroy the Holy Tower." Su Youwei hurriedly asked.
"Of course I won't do anything to destroy the Holy Tower, although I am a living being, but after all, the body is also a magic formation, so it is my duty to protect the Holy Tower, as for you." Princess Mononoke squinted at Su Youwei.
"I can't guarantee whether it will hurt you, it depends on your performance in the future." Princess Mononoke said jokingly.
"You little girl is really a big ghost, I'm curious about how old you are now, and you talk like a child." Su Youwei saw that the little girl in front of him was not hostile to him, so he put his mind at ease, since it was a statement that evolved from the formation in the formation, then it should not hurt him, at this time Su Youwei chose to believe in his ancestors.
"I'm much older than you, and you can't call me grandma. Well, if you make me think about it, I'm about 500 years old. Princess Mononoke dragged her chin in thought.
"Five, five five hundred years old." This frightened Su Youwei, he never expected that there would be such an existence in the Holy Tower.
"The world of magic is really legendary, and one of its souls can reach the age of 500 years old, and human beings are still too small." Su Youwei couldn't help but think of the fleeting life of human beings.
"I know what you're here for, and I know you're going to lose to Merlin at your current pace." The princess mononoke saw that Su Youwei ignored her, so she squinted her eyes and said.
"Do I still believe your nonsense? I'm making changes much faster than Merlin, and he hasn't been holding me back this afternoon, so maybe he's given up. Su Youwei pursed his lips and said.
"That's the inseparable black mage Merlin who fought with the great magicians more than 1,000 years ago, you don't know how powerful he was back then, if it wasn't for the great loss of vitality after that battle, how could he be looked down upon by ordinary humans like you? Back then, he might have come to you and killed you as soon as you said something disrespectful to him. Princess Mononoke continued to hit.
"Let me tell you, even if you finish revising all the books here, after 30 years, you still can't get rid of the fact that the human kingdom has been destroyed, this is the gap between ordinary humans and magicians, and it can't be solved by simply modifying the books." Princess Mononoke looked at Su Youwei with condescending eyes.
"But if you beg me, maybe I'll be merciful enough to tell you the solution, but only if you make me happy..."
Su Youwei rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"The devil believes in you."
Then, the sound of ghosts crying wolves was heard from within the Holy Tower.
