Chapter 30: Flipping through the Books
When the security guard saw him, he quickly stood up and saluted.
The security guards guarding the gate were twins, the two looked very similar, both were old, their figures began to be slightly fat, their dark blue hair was enough to cover their hairline, and the wrinkles on their faces were squeezed out a few more with a smile.
Hibo smiled and nodded, majestic and polite.
One of them hurriedly said: "Your Highness is here, I don't know what you are doing?" ”
Hippo asked in a gentle voice and very politely, "I wonder where the books about Abilities and Earthlings are on?" ”
"The twentieth and twenty-third floors, do you need me to send someone to take you there?"
"No need, I'll just go myself." Declining the security guard's kindness, Hibo stepped into the elevator.
The two of them straightened their bodies as much as they could, and it was not until the last moment that the elevator door closed that they finally released their stomachs, like two deflated balls.
"I'm scared to death, how could His Highness Xibo suddenly come here? Could it be that he came to inspect the work? But what's so nice about the library? And he didn't bring his men with him. Wright asked.
Leddy shook his head: "I don't know, but His Highness Xibo has always done things in a measured manner, he should have come here because he wanted to find information, let's not inquire as subordinates." ”
Wright said stupidly: "Also, His Highness Xipo's thoughts are something that people like us can guess. However, I have heard a rumor about His Highness Xibo, and I don't know if it is true or false, I heard that His Highness Xibo is actually..."
Pretty hurriedly covered Wright's mouth, glared at him and said, "Do you think you haven't lived long enough?" Even dare to listen to rumors about the royal family, and dare to spread them?! Do you remember what Hipo's ability was?! ”
Wright's face changed as if he remembered something.
Leddy let go of him, his face turned white, and he stammered: "Brother, what I just said, Your Highness won't hear it, right?" ”
Pretty thought for a moment and shook his head: "Probably not, His Highness Xipo listens to Qianli's ability only when he wants to release it, and if he doesn't use it, he won't hear it, and there is no need for him to use this skill here." ”
He patted Wright on the back and said very seriously: "Don't talk about this anymore, do you hear that?!" ”
Wright nodded vigorously, but the middle-aged man was as scared as a child, and agreed tremblingly: "Know, I know, I will never say it again in the future." ”
Hibo made it to the twentieth floor, and as he walked down the stairs, the smile on his face had disappeared.
He walked over, and he had read all the books when he was still in school, and although he couldn't memorize them, at least he knew where they were.
According to his general impression, he walked straight to a row of bookshelves and successfully found the book he wanted to read.
The book "About Strange Abilities" is a very old book, and what the people of Luoxing are learning now is basically an improved version of this book. Still, he prefers the first edition of the book because there is a lot of knowledge that other editions don't have.
He flipped through the table of contents to the page he was looking for.
"As to why the ability is neutralized... p. 1256," he flipped over, his brow furrowed tightly, "emptied?" ”
It is a crime to empty a book collection without permission in Luoxing, and it is divided into several crimes according to the importance of the collection.
He frowned, thought for a few seconds, put the book in his arms, turned around and got on the elevator and went to the twenty-third floor.
The twenty-three floors are mainly about some of the observations and understandings of the explorers on the earth.
He'd been to Earth once and had done a raid here before he went, so the location was clear.
Originally, he was going to look up examples of Earthlings being immune to abilities, but while he was holding the book, another book fell next to him.
He frowned slightly, but he didn't bend down to pick up the book without the slightest impatience.
The title of the book caught his eye, "Rules for Getting Along with Earthlings". Was there a book before? Why doesn't he remember? Or is it because he hasn't been here for a long time, so the library has been updated with a new batch of books?
Hipo's brow furrowed even deeper, and he opened the book to take a look, one of the sentences caught his attention.
"If the Planetary people have another entanglement with the people of other planets on the basis of the existing covenant, then the inquisitor will judge all three of them, and after determining the intentions of each of them, they will be executed."
I don't know why, he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw this text. I don't know why, but he has been feeling more and more that everyone is hiding something from him lately.
The queen mother hid it from him, and there were some other people, who seemed to know something, but he didn't know, and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.
His brow furrowed, and he was thinking, when he suddenly felt that his pants were being tugged by someone.
He lowered his head and found that a child was looking at him with big eyes, and when he saw him looking at him, he immediately showed a big smile, and said in a milky voice: "Brother, do you still want to read this book in your hand?" If you don't see it, can you lend it to me? ”
Xibo squatted down, touched the boy's hair with a smile, and said softly: "Of course you can, but my brother wants to ask you, you are so young, why do you like to read these books?" ”
The little boy struggled to straighten his chest and said, "Because when I grow up, I want to be an inspector of the earth, always observing the movements of the earthlings." ”
"Wow, your ideal is so great? It's amazing. Why do we have to be a geo-ombudsman? ”
"Because my dad is the Earth Ombudsman, and my mom is an Earthling. In the future, I also hope to find an earthling like my mother to be my wife. ”
Hippo smiled and touched the little boy's head again: "I see. I don't know what your name is? ”
"Luo Xing's name is Xining, and my mother called me Ning Tsai when I was on Earth."
"Xining, I remember you." Xibo handed the book in his hand to the boy, looked at him tenderly with blue eyes, and said, "Work hard to grow up and be an inspector as great as your father." ”
When Xining heard him say this, he immediately stood upright, made a salute, and replied with a thoughtful response: "Yes!" ”
When Hibo left the library, he took a special look at the place where the security guards were sitting, one of them was gone, and the other looked a little cramped when he saw him.
He gave a quick glance and left without stopping.
