Chapter 17: Do Snakes Like to Read Too?
The administrator was puzzled and asked the security guard who was on duty outside.
"When you were on the night shift yesterday, did you see anyone when you were patrolling the museum?"
The security guards looked at each other, and they were also very strange about this, and thought about it carefully: "There were no suspicious people yesterday." And the lock of the gate and the windows are so good that it's hard for anyone to sneak in. β
They patrolled the first half of the night and the second half of the night, and they didn't hear any movement, not to mention that the library was relatively remote, and there were not many people during the day, let alone at night.
"That's weird, who the hell could it be?"
After several people traced it to no avail, there were no clues, and they wanted to check the surveillance, but that place was a dead end, and the surveillance could not cover it at all.
If you want to come behind the scenes, maybe that's why you're so arrogant, provoking three times and twice.
The administrator made a quick decision and installed a monitor there.
"No matter what kind of demon you are, there is nothing to hide now!"
But wait until the next day.
There were still scattered books on the ground, and they were still in their original positions, as if they were provoking something, and the administrator was furious, pulling the security guard straight to the monitoring room.
"Good guy, it's really a head, don't you see the camera, I want to see who is so boring."
He had to figure out who was playing a prank.
However, after watching the surveillance for a day, let alone people, there really wasn't even a ghost close.
Because that place is relatively remote, and in the deepest part, the books placed are all miscellaneous books, or few people borrow them, and at the end of the day, no one passes by.
Looking at the empty picture inside the surveillance, the sun was shining outside, but a chill appeared inexplicably on the soles of the administrator's feet.
Even the security guards were frightened, and couldn't help but say: "We've been staring at this for a long time, could it be that there are really ghosts!" β
The administrator pretended to be calm, "What nonsense are you talking about, how can there be ghosts in the world, it must be man-made." β
"It's hard to start during the day, he must act at night."
This possibility is still relatively large, because books are all opened, and it is impossible for ghosts to like to read, right?
"Maybe someone sneaked in after I got off work and no one was in the library, taking advantage of your slackness."
Several people continued to check the surveillance, and the picture was unchanged, and they were drowsy and yawned when they watched.
It was already around eight o'clock in the evening.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a muffled noise came from inside the monitor, which immediately attracted their attention.
However, after seeing the picture in front of them clearly, they were full of chills.
A book just fell out of thin air, the surrounding doors and windows were closed, and there was no wind, but there seemed to be an inexplicable power invisible.
The security guard was already old, and he thought that the work of the library was idle and there was no danger, but where had he seen such a scene, he wanted to resign immediately.
"This, this place is haunted, there is obviously no wind around, why did this book fall."
The teeth of the security guards who spoke were fighting, after all, they were old, and they still believed in this, although it was important to work to make money, but what was more important was their own lives.
"Don't talk nonsense here, maybe the book didn't put it away and accidentally fell off."
The Administrator was a little scared, but he didn't believe in the gods and ghosts, and continued to look at it with the audacity.
Soon, a black figure appeared under the camera.
"Hey, what's thatβ"
The administrator hurriedly paused the screen, and then kept zooming in.
It turned out to be a little black snake!
How did this little black snake get in?
"How can there be snakes here?"
The next picture is even more unheard of and beyond common sense.
The administrator and the security guard couldn't help but widen their eyes, although they were a little scared, but they were still a little curious, which drove them to look hard.
I saw that the snake rolled up the corner of the page with its tail, and opened the book very flexibly!
The security guard, who originally wanted to resign, had his brain down a little at the moment, and he looked at the administrator, and he even rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was hallucinating.
"So, I'm not mistaken, it seems like a snake is flipping through a book just now?"
The companions around him were also unconvinced.
The administrator turned over and looked at it again, and it was indeed the snake flipping through the book, and then the little snake hovered over the book, and looked at it as if it were-
It's like reading a book!
At the same time, he also slowed down the speed and finally captured a frame of the scene the moment the book fell.
At the moment when the book was about to fall, a sharp snake head loomed behind it, which means that the book did not fall for no reason, but was pushed down by this snake.
Everyone was speechless, and if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that such a ridiculous scene would happen in front of their eyes.
A snake pulls the book off the top of the bookshelf and begins to read.
There is such an operation!
It's a common thought that pops into everyone's mind.
The security guard couldn't help muttering to himself, "Could it be that the books that fell a few days ago were all because of this snake." β
The administrator also added next to him: "And although the books that fall every day are different, the categories are the same, and they all belong to classical Chinese and ancient books." β
"People can't understand these like "Hetuluo Book" and "Yijin Sutra", can snakes understand it?"
It's just a joke in the world.
Everyone stared at the scene in front of them, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Now that everything has come to light, it is not a ghost, but a snake that is causing trouble.
However, this fact might as well convince them that there are ghosts in the world.
How could a snake possibly go to a book? I can't say that I have become a sperm.
The next night the caretaker did not go back, but ambushed with the security guards to see if the snake would come.
It's a pity that until the next morning, the little black didn't appear again, and the first few times it was just a whim.
"Perhaps, the snake just came to find a place to rest at night, and it just looks like it was reading a book."
The administrator reluctantly found an explanation, but he still looked puzzled.
But there are still many mysteries in this, such as why the snake went to great lengths to take those books down and explain them with his tail turned over.
When you think about it, this argument simply doesn't hold water.
But they couldn't figure out what had attracted the snake to such an unusual behavior.
Even in the entire biological world, it is not a situation that can be seen.
Unable to figure it out, the administrator simply stopped thinking about it, and the snake hadn't reappeared since then.
Everything is only regarded as folk gossip, and no one really cares about this kind of thing all the time, after all, the world's firewood, rice, oil and salt, and fireworks in the world are the norm.
The library regained its calm again, and the incident was gradually forgotten by everyone, and it was only a strange talk, and they even wondered if they were hallucinating at the time.
Only that surveillance video records everything extraordinary.
