The Kingdom of Kyrenia is located in the middle of Parnaki, between the Republic of Lint and the Kingdom of Ambrizel. It is the country with the smallest land area in Parnaki, but also the country with the largest total area. Seventy-five percent of the land is made up of reefs and is surrounded by storms all year round. Even if it is a 10,000-ton ship, with protective magic and full-time protection by magicians, it is very difficult to break through the natural barrier formed by reefs and storms.

Therefore, until Su Mu gained the ruling power of the Kingdom of Kyrenia as the leader of the mermaid tribe and dispelled the storm within the range with absolute power, the Kingdom of Kyrenia had always been the most mysterious and dangerous country in Parnaki.

For thousands of years, few people have been able to set foot in this mysterious territory. The memories of the few captains and sailors who have managed to break through the storm and enter the Kingdom of Kyrenia also come to an abrupt end at the sound of the mermaid's ethereal song.

During the ten years in the "Temple of Disaster", although Lin Yuan never left San Carlos, he was extremely hardworking and studious. In addition to learning magic knowledge from Yu Zhi, he also learned combat from the Knights Templar, and learned the history of the Parnacian world, the languages, writings and cultures of various countries from the nuns and priests.

I am very curious about this mysterious and vast country which is ruled by mermaids and inhabited by countless tribes living in the ocean.

Now, he was on a merchant and passenger ship departing from San Carlos, and finally set foot on this long-dreamed-of territory.

Due to the extremely scarce land, there are only three cities on land in the Kingdom of Kyrenia, and only one of them is open to the public, which is the destination that Lin Yuan is about to reach: Lorelei - the same name as the mermaid Lorelei in the Norse mythology on Earth. It is unknown whether Su Mu deliberately chose the name for this newly established country based on Norse mythology, or whether it was a coincidence that they had the same name.

But just like the description of "Lorelei" in Norse mythology: beautiful, mysterious, dreamy like a fairy tale, but full of danger. The city is also an incomparably dazzling pearl of the Kingdom of Kyrenia. It is built on a reef, surrounded by cliffs and storms. The only way to enter and leave is through the only pier in Lorelei.

Although Lorelei is a small place, it is picturesque and free from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. It is rich in pearls, and the best and most beautiful pearls of Parnaki come from here. Therefore, Lorelei is also called the "Pearl City".

"She is a treasure on the sea, a pearl born in the storm." The passenger on the passenger ship that Lin Yuan was on praised loudly: "There are the most beautiful things in Parnaki! I promise that as long as you see it once, you will fall in love with it completely and never forget it!"

Is it the pearl? Or the famous classic of the Kingdom of Kyrenia, known as the "Emerald Sea"? Or is it the legendary and unparalleled mermaid singing?

——Before setting foot in Lorelei, Lin Yuan's heart was filled with longing for this city that was full of dreams both in its name and in its rumors.

Until a familiar and alluring aroma filled the air, the passengers nearby began to drool uncontrollably, drooling like a waterfall. They didn't care whether the passenger ship had stopped at the pier, and rushed to the shop on the shore with other anxious passengers. A handsome male mermaid, wearing only a short coat and a fur hat, stood by the smoky grill, fanning himself with a fan and shouting in a charming voice: "Grilled oysters, grilled oysters - they look delicious but taste delicious - Lorelei's unique grilled oysters!"

This shape, this shout, if the grilled oysters were directly replaced with "lamb skewers", Lin Yuan would directly dream of returning to the night market.

The Lorelei filter in my mind was shattered into pieces at this moment.

He really shouldn't have had any rosy fantasies about his classmates!

How is it possible that there is a class of twenty-four people, twenty of whom are complete idiots?

——As for the other four, they were running wildly on the road that turned into sand sculptures.

"World cuisine - world delicacies - grilled squid on the tip of your tongue -"

"Bobo chicken - ah Bobo chicken - Bobo chicken for one copper coin a string -"

Lin Yuan swallowed hard.

Lin Yuan completely forgot about all the dreams and not dreams at this moment. He was like a child who stepped into a children's playground for the first time. He cheered recklessly in his heart and plunged into the arms of the grilled oysters.

Compared to the grilled oysters at Huaxia Night Market, the grilled oysters at Lorelai were still a little lacking in flavor. Without the most important garlic sauce, even though these oysters - the shellfish that could barely be considered oysters - were fatter than the oysters on Earth, they always felt a little less flavorful when eaten.

But this is the food that is closest to the flavor of his hometown that Lin Yuan has tasted after traveling through time for twenty years.

Especially oden, fresh fish meat and starch rolled into fish balls. There are also small sausages made of monster meat, seafood similar to kelp, "Arctic scallops" made from scallop meat, and "white radish" stewed until soft and soaked up the soup.

The soup was seasoned with MSG extracted from seaweed and a little bit of soy sauce. It tasted very much like the oden that cost only 50 cents a skewer outside the elementary school. Lin Yuan almost burst into tears while eating it.

"Little brother, am I right?" The passenger who had just eaten the grilled fish was covered in oil. He proudly said to Lin Yuan, "Lorelai's food is the best thing in Parnaki!"

Lin Yuan: “…”

All right! He had nothing to refute.

For Parnaki, which lacks food culture, even if the Mermaid BBQ has only learned the basics of Chinese BBQ, it is already a top-notch delicacy that the world desires but cannot reach.

Just when Lin Yuan was enjoying his meal, someone suddenly patted his shoulder. Lin Yuan turned around abruptly, his body tense like a frightened cat. Because of the large amplitude of the movement, the hot soup spilled from the shell bowl onto the back of Lin Yuan's hand, burning him and making him grimace.

The person who patted him on the back was a very young man, or more like a teenager of about seventeen or eighteen years old.

He has long light blue hair, and his facial features are softer than those of Western men. His neutral appearance makes him look too delicate among the burly men in armor. His skin is a classic cold white, as if he has never seen the light of day, which makes his deep blue eyes as clear as gemstones and his lips as bright as rose petals. When he smiles, two sweet dimples appear at the corners of his lips, which makes people feel good at the sight.

In order to prevent his long hair from hanging down all the time, the boy wore a crown made of pearls. The loose hair was pinned behind his ears, revealing his ears like fish fins.

The boy in front of me was undoubtedly a mermaid. However, compared to the description of mermaids in my memory, he was not wearing clothes made of gauze, nor was he wearing a shirt-like short coat like the mermaids in charge of barbecue. Instead, he was wearing a very modern seaside three-piece suit - T-shirt, large shorts, and flip-flops.

Lin Yuan murmured, "Su Mu, do you really have to wear clothes that ruin your temperament? Don't you have any better clothes in your mermaid wardrobe?"

Show me your charm as a mermaid! It is known as one of the "Ten Great Views of Parnaki"!

"Are you sure you want to pick clothes from my closet?" Su Mu said, "We don't wear pants in the sea."

Lin Yuan: “…”

Wrong decision!

"Well, that can't be helped." Lin Yuan said awkwardly, "Why do we have to talk about such meaningless topics when we first meet?"

——Although they had chatted on Qbao for nearly ten years and met countless times in the weekly Sea of ​​Consciousness class meetings, this was actually the first time Lin Yuan and Su Mu met after their time travel. Even though they were already very familiar with each other, there was still some awkwardness.

The earliest impression of Su Mu came from when they were just divided into classes. Su Mu happened to sit on his left. This was a very easy position to get to know, but until he crossed over, Lin Yuan had hardly been able to say a few words to Su Mu.

It was because Su Mu was too slow to warm up. He was always quiet and introverted. But compared to the real autistic king in the class, their vice-class monitor Rong Yu, Su Mu's personality could be described as "lively".

Then, he met Su Mu again at the class meeting in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Su Mu at that time was completely different from his first impression. He had a solemn expression, noble temperament, and elegant gestures.

Yu Zhi introduced him: That’s Su Mu, now the leader of the mermaid tribe and the ruler of the Kyrenia Kingdom.

The neighbor whom he hadn't seen for a long time suddenly appeared in front of him as a ruler, and also the powerful and mysterious mermaid as mentioned in the legend. Before Lin Yuan could approach Su Mu awkwardly to say hello, he saw that Su Mu, who was noble and elegant just now, had turned into a fool with no image after a few words from his classmate Bai Luo.

From that day on, Lin Yuan understood a profound truth—the people in their class all had some mental problems to some extent.

But it is also true that a group of people who have gone through countless hardships, step by step, have become the superiors, and have the power to destroy the world, except for people like Rong Yu who have completely become autistic because of their past experiences, most of them have already stood at the pinnacle of Parnaki power, and there is no need to be inferior or introverted. And after experiencing too many things and living longer and longer, "abnormal" is not a strange thing at all.

Even as time goes by, the students' personalities seem to become more similar.

Soon, Lin Yuan also became one of them (funny guys).

...

The long-awaited meeting suddenly became a little awkward. Before Lin Yuan could scratch his head and think of ways to ease the atmosphere, he saw Su Mu quietly pointing around.

——The mermaids or other marine creatures who were originally concentrating on their business, now turned their eyes to Su Mu intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of enthusiasm and excitement that was difficult to conceal.

Su Mu coughed dryly, and said in a voice that only Lin Yuan could hear: "Give me some face when we are out."

Lin Yuan: "...I'm giving you some face, but you're still wearing this?"

"Mine is obviously a classic style!" Su Mu emphasized: "Who wears a suit and tie to the beach? Isn't that crazy?"

The originally stiff atmosphere instantly eased, and Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, confirming once again that this was still his silly classmate.

The two walked and talked all the way, occasionally stopping at a roadside stall. Whenever this happened, Su Mu would wave his hand and generously say that the food here was free to eat, and he would treat them.

The originally slightly subtle atmosphere quickly became familiar, and the hidden barriers completely disappeared.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people around, until there was no one left except two servants who followed Su Mu from a distance.

Standing on the edge of the reef, watching the sea water suddenly raise a wave tens of meters high, and then hit the reef under his feet heavily, even splashing his instep, Lin Yuan was a little dumbfounded: "Why did you bring me here?"

Is there anything you want to tell him in private?

"I'll take you to the palace." Su Mu said, "Zhou Xun and Rong Yu are both there. Aren't you here to look for them?"

"From here?" Lin Yuan pointed to the ground.

Su Mu nodded: "What else?"

Lin Yuan: "...You don't want me to jump into the sea with you, do you? I have to state in advance that I can't swim, and I can't breathe in water!"

Su Mu's mouth twitched: "Of course I know, otherwise why would I bring you here?"

"Then how are you going to send me down?" Lin Yuan asked curiously, "Are you going to divide the sea like Yin Yuejun did?"

"Then you have to sing "Shui Long Yin" for me." Su Mu picked up the gag immediately. The two looked at each other and sang in unison: "Tear - Heart Sea - Shoulders -"

The two people next to him tried to maintain a decent smile, but their eyes gradually became confused.

Today, the patriarch is still saying something that the fish can't understand.

Just as the two were arguing with each other, a long and ethereal cry sounded from the sea, accompanied by a water column several dozen meters high. The waves surged violently, and a "whale" that was more than ten times larger than the largest animal on earth, the blue whale, and comparable to an aircraft carrier, appeared.

"This is my pet and mount, the 'Deep Sea Dragon Whale' whale." Su Mu introduced.

Lin Yuan: "...You are really casual in choosing names."

The whale was seen rushing towards Su Mu and the others with the power of the waves, its huge head leaning against the reef, mostly covered.

Su Mu raised his hand and touched the whale's cool and smooth skin. The whale immediately let out a joyful cheer, and the huge hole on the top of its head once again spurted out a high column of water.

Then, the whale slowly opened its mouth, revealing a space as spacious as a gymnasium inside its body: "Come in, the whale will take us to the palace later."

Lin Yuan looked at the whale's huge mouth and hesitated: "Does your whale...brushes its teeth diligently?"

"Puff--" The whale splashed water all over Lin Yuan's head and face, and then closed its mouth tightly.

Lin Yuan: "I'm sorry!!!"

...

The atmosphere in school has been very strange recently.

If the school was filled with a relaxed and joyful atmosphere during the days of the social practice activities, then the atmosphere in recent days reminded the students of Class 9 of the period before the monthly exams... No, it was not even that tense, as if the school was facing not a new round of monthly exams, but the small and high school entrance exams that would determine their fate and life and death.

"Have you started reviewing for the junior college entrance exam so early?" Bai Luo was puzzled: "There is still more than half a month before the next monthly exam."

But no one in the class could answer his question.

For the students in Class 9 who seldom go out and spend almost all their spare time practicing, except for using their mental power to search the teaching building, dormitory, gymnasium and cafeteria every day when going to and from school to see if there are any mutants, the disturbances in the school have never had anything to do with them.

The reason why he was able to quickly notice the change in the school atmosphere this time was very simple: the number of students from his class who would wait outside their classroom after each get out of class to try to take pictures of Su Mu and Lin Lang began to drop sharply since yesterday.

"It's useless for us to guess here. Since we are curious, why don't we go to the next class and ask?" Lin Yuan, who has been running around with his parents and brother and has seen many big scenes, has been good at communicating with outsiders since he was a child. After crossing to Parnaki, he was the guardian knight of the "Temple of Disaster", responsible for the spread of the faith of the "Goddess of Disaster" and the rescue of refugees.

As a social expert in Class 9, Lin Yuan directly approached the students in Class 8 that he was familiar with.

"Hey, I want to ask you something." Lin Yuan leaned against the window and asked directly, "The atmosphere in school has been very strange recently. Do you know what happened?"

The students in Class 8 blinked their eyes and showed a shocked expression: "Don't your class know?"

"I'm asking you because I don't know. Don't keep me in suspense."

"It's like this, our school has been haunted recently..." He took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "It's haunted!"

"Ah?" Lin Yuan was stunned.

Haunted? When did their school have a ghost? How come they didn't know after investigating it every day?

"You know that campus legend? The one that made the principal bald."

Lin Yuan nodded: "Isn't that a rumor?"

They also specially investigated and found no so-called "ghost" in the school. Bai Luo even persuaded Xiao Shichuan to go to the principal's house at night and found that the principal was bald because he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and got up to work - he was old and didn't sleep much, and it was not surprising that he was bald.

Seeing that Lin Yuan only had a vague understanding of the matter, the students in Class 8 suddenly became complacent, exuding an inexplicable sense of superiority. They pulled Lin Yuan aside and began to talk nonstop: "I told you that your class is so autistic all day long, but you still don't believe it. Your information is out of date - that 'ghost spirit' has already completed its ultimate evolution!"

Lin Yuan: “…”

Why does he sound so unreliable?

"Hey, those two girls, did you see them?" The classmate of Class 8 pointed to the corner of the classroom. Two girls were writing furiously in the middle of a row near the inner window. Their eyes were fixed on the questions, and their right hands never stopped. They were so fast that only the shadow of the pen could be seen. At the same time, they were muttering something, and their concentration seemed to have its own barrier, isolating them from the noise in the classroom.

Lin Yuan recognized that this was the study committee member and Chinese class representative of Class 8 and exclaimed, "Wow!" "Your class committee members are really hardworking."

The get out of class is over but you are still working so hard.

The class 8 students waved their hands and said, "You don't know, they were not like this before! It was not until they met the 'ghost' that they became like this now."

Lin Yuan looked at the two class committee members in surprise, and quickly recited a spell in his mind. The magic power that could not be seen by people without the "magic circuit" quickly rushed towards Lin Yuan's eyes as the spell was recited.

As the "Magic Detection Technique" was activated, the world around them changed again. Huge and dense magic rushed towards the direction of Class 9 from all directions, and part of it turned a corner when it approached Lin Yuan and was absorbed into his body.

Lin Yuan looked in the direction of the two class committee members. They were still concentrating on their studies. There was no trace of magic power flowing on their bodies, nor was there any gray-black power remaining that was related to resentment or souls.

How does this look like being haunted by a 'ghostly spirit'?

"Can you tell me again what you know about the evil spirits?" Lin Yuan said.

The classmate from Class 8 had a strong desire to talk, so he immediately said, "Didn't they say before that the vengeful spirit was created by the resentment of the students doing homework? After torturing the principal's bald head, it felt bored and started looking for other victims in the school. I heard that it likes to haunt those students who don't study hard the most - torturing them day and night, making them do exams in their dreams, and finally turning them all into study machines that can only do crazy homework!"

Lin Yuan: “…”

Why does this rumor sound even less plausible than before?

Isn’t this really the plus version launched by school leaders to combat “rumors”?

After thinking about it, Lin Yuan once again activated his magic power and gathered it into his ears.

The sounds around him suddenly became clear, from the sound of blood flowing in the body to the sounds of students talking to each other, every sound became clear and independent in his ears.

Lin Yuan quickly caught the two class committee members' mumblings.

"Left power, right electricity"

"The water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns"

"The altitude of the sun at noon decreases from the point where the sun is directly overhead to the North and South Poles."

"Abandon, abandon, give up"

Lin Yuan: “…”

Although the two of them were reciting very seriously, would it be really impossible for them to get confused if they mixed the knowledge points of different subjects together and recited them?

"Divalent oxygen, calcium, barium, magnesium, and zinc, a light silk fan to catch fireflies. Voltage and resistance determine current, Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties."

Lin Yuan: “…”

The rumors about the "ghost" are indeed wrong! People are so confused by it!

"Then do you know where the rumor about the evil spirit first started?" Lin Yuan asked quickly.

However, the student from Class 8, who always knew everything, looked confused. He shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Then when did the two class committee members of your class start to be so..." Lin Yuan searched for adjectives in his mind: "Hardworking?"

The classmate from Class 8 tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "It seems to be after we went to the library the day before yesterday."

After getting the key clue, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks." Lin Yuan waved at him and said, "I'll treat you to some chicken steak from the canteen after school."

"Add another bottle of Coke." The students from Class 8 called out affectionately.

...

"I found out." Back in the classroom, Lin Yuan made an "OK" gesture to his classmates and told them the information he had learned from the students in Class 8, as well as the strange learning status of the two class committee members of Class 8.

"It does sound strange." Lin Lang fell into deep thought: "But...where is our school library?"

Bai Luo: "Does our school have a library?"

Lin Yuan: "...Well, actually I don't know either!"

When did the school secretly build a library without telling them?!

"Library?" Su Mingya hummed. "I seem to have heard someone say that it was built during the summer vacation after our freshman year of high school. It has only been open for a few days this semester. If the school has opened a library, the class teacher should have notified us, right?"

"But Teacher Rui didn't say anything." Lin Yuan sighed.

As expected, they didn’t know that the library was Teacher Rui’s fault!

——Anyway, he is not in the classroom now, so the classmates feel at ease shifting the blame.

"Although I don't know where the library is, if you want to find a library, you can contact Tingting." Su Mingya added: "Just when you, Lin Yuan, went to ask Class 8 for information, she said she wanted to go to the library to read."

Nowadays, the school’s evening self-study sessions are more relaxed than usual. In addition to staying in the classroom to study, students can also choose to go to the library to review - of course, there are teachers watching there as well.

"Then I'll send her a message." Lin Yuan has always been a man of action. When he heard Su Mingya say this, he quickly took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Shen Qiting.

With magic, Lin Yuan didn't worry that Shen Qiting would be caught by other teachers because of his mobile phone reply after receiving the message.

But strangely, after traveling back to Earth, Shen Qiting, who always responded to messages very quickly, was silent this time. Lin Yuan waited patiently for ten minutes, but did not receive her reply.

"Are you obsessed with reading?" Lin Yuan asked.

Su Mingya nodded: "It's not impossible. Tingting used to be like this. Once she starts reading, she won't pay attention to other things."

"We're free anyway, why don't we go take a look?" Bai Luo suggested.

Lin Yuan thought about it and decided that he had finished his homework in the afternoon anyway, and there was nothing else for him to do in the classroom except practicing, so he nodded.

So Lin Yuan, Bai Luo and Su Mingya, who was also free and wanted to read with Chen Qiting, walked towards the library together.

Outside, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The cool night breeze blew on my face, blowing away the slight sleepiness.

The three of them strolled leisurely in the campus with faint smiles on their faces. Three minutes later, Lin Yuan finally realized what was going on and asked an extremely crucial question.

"So, where is the library?"

Bai Luo/Su Mingya: "...Good question!"

...

As the school in Y City that is most willing to spend money on infrastructure, the principal remains as generous as ever in the construction of the library.

Different from popular areas such as the gymnasium, restaurant, and canteen, the library is located in a location completely opposite to these places. It is located at the edge of the school, which was originally a wasteland and almost no one would go near it.

Since taking office, the principal has always wanted to renovate this wasteland and build a library of the same size as the gymnasium. However, he was worried that the construction would disturb the students' studies, so he started the construction only during holidays or summer and winter vacations. There were cordons around the area on weekdays, and the teachers repeatedly warned students not to approach. As the construction took a long time, the students gradually forgot about this piece of land.

The newly built library is brick-red throughout, with a simple and elegant style. It covers an area equal to that of a gymnasium and has a total of four floors.

The principal bought a large number of books for the library, one third of which was used to store textbooks, exercise books, and classics required for exams. The remaining two thirds were a variety of books, except for professional tomes and romance novels that were banned on campus. Most of the popular books in the bookstore could be found in the library.

Since the library was put into use, the daily traffic is not very large, but there are about a hundred people.

Any student can borrow books with a student card. Of course, if the book is damaged or lost, the student needs to pay compensation at the original price.

Shen Qiting stood in front of the library with his schoolbag on his back, looking up, a longing smile appeared on his quiet and pretty face.

This was the first time Parnaki had set foot in the library since she had traveled back to Earth.

It's embarrassing to say that she, the number one astrologer in Parnaki and known as the "mobile library", became addicted to smartphones for the first time after returning to Earth. She surfed the app intensively every day, just like those old men and women who were curious and addicted to short video apps for the first time.

Compared to books that require one to calm down and read and memorize, it is easier and more convenient to obtain information on mobile phones. With just a few clicks, even if you don’t intend to search, all kinds of novel and interesting knowledge will be pushed to the homepage of the browser or video app through AI calculations to figure out the user’s taste.

Shen Qiting has always had a strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge about unknown things. She reads whatever the website recommends. After reading it, she refreshes it again, and new knowledge appears on her homepage.

Some long video websites are fine, the knowledge is richer and more detailed, and it is easier to accumulate.

It’s just that on those fast-paced short video websites, the knowledge points are huge, dense and rapid. Before you have finished digesting the first one, the second knowledge point pops up as your fingers unconsciously swipe.

For a whole month, in addition to studying and preparing the drama script for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, Shen Qiting spent almost all his spare time watching videos.

Until time suddenly passed and her mind gradually became blank, Shen Qiting realized belatedly: she seemed to have learned a lot, but also seemed to have learned nothing.

After learning from his mistakes, Shen Qiting decided to force himself to quit his cell phone addiction, go to the library to read books, and cleanse his mind that was "polluted" by the fast pace.

...

It is November now and the weather is getting colder. Especially at night, even if you wear a coat, the chill still quietly and silently erodes your body.

Compared to the outdoors, the library is like spring all year round. A faint scent of ink floats in the air - that is the smell of Shen Qiting's happy hometown.

For a library, it was the busiest time of the day, but it was eerily quiet. There was only one administrator in his 50s or 60s with gray hair and reading glasses sitting at the front desk.

Seeing Shen Qiting walk into the library, she raised her eyes to look at Shen Qiting, and operated the computer with unfamiliar movements, helping Shen Qiting swipe the card to register, while saying: "The library closes at nine o'clock in the evening. If you want to review, you can go to the study room next door. If you want to borrow books, bring the books to me. You are not allowed to take the books away casually, nor are you allowed to destroy the books. If you damage them, you have to pay for it. There are rules and regulations posted inside, remember to take a look, and don't affect other students' studies."

Shen Qiting nodded and responded obediently, indicating that he understood.

The administrator said "yes" and returned the student card to Shen Qiting. He then leaned back, closed his eyes, and actually took a leisurely nap.

This administrator is too confident in me, isn't she afraid that I will sneak away with the book while she is sleeping?

As an astrologer who also owns a library, Shen Qiting couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

But this little thing did not disturb her good mood. She was like a bird returning to its nest or a fish released back into the water, she cheered in her heart and walked quickly into the reading room.

The reading room is divided into two areas. The left side is the book area, and the right side is the reading area, which has several rows of tables and chairs for students to sit and read and take notes.

A poster is pasted on the column that is used to divide the two areas and is also a load-bearing column. It is in the standard red and yellow colors and looks very festive.

On the top of the poster, "Y City No. 2 Senior High School Library Rules and Regulations" were written in bold font.

Like the study room, as a place for students to review, there should be a teacher here to supervise. But for some reason, whether it is the reading room or the study room, not to mention the teacher in charge of supervision, there is not even a student reading a book.

Is the library so cold?

Shen Qiting, who didn't know the library's daily traffic, thought to himself, glanced quickly at the rules and regulations, and didn't care, and plunged into the ocean of physical books.

Soon, she came to the reading area with a few carefully selected books, put her schoolbag aside, picked up a book and started reading with relish.

I don't know how long it took, but just as Shen Qiting was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the schoolbag beside him.

Has anyone contacted me?

Shen Qiting raised his head from the book, opened his schoolbag and took out his cell phone.

Since there was no one monitoring the library and there didn't seem to be any surveillance cameras around, Shen Qiting didn't use the magic barrier to cover himself, and simply put his phone on the table and turned it on.

『Lin Yuan (I don’t want to be a dragon...)』: Are you in the library now?

『Lin Yuan (I don’t want to be a dragon...)』: Send me your location

"Lin Yuan (I don't want to be a dragon...)": We have found out that the recent change in the school atmosphere is very likely related to the library (a few hundred words of the incident are omitted). If you are in the library, remember to investigate and see if there is anything wrong here.

It turns out that campus ghost stories are related to libraries?

A vengeful spirit that forces students to study?

Hiss... It sounds like this vengeful spirit is quite studious. The principal and dean of our school should be quite fond of it, right?

『Chen Qiting (Library Management...)』: Received

A large red exclamation mark appeared next to the text bubble.

"! Send failed"

Shen Qiting was stunned.

Failed to send? Was the signal in the library very bad? Then how could she receive the message from Lin Yuan?

Shen Qiting tried to send it again, but it still failed.

Shen Qiting simply gave up replying to the message via QQ and called Lin Yuan directly.

"Beep-beep--Hello, the number you dialed is out of service area, please call again later--"

"Why is there no signal?" Shen Qiting couldn't help but mutter.

Their school is located near an industrial park, so network fluctuations are possible, but it is absolutely impossible for the phone to be out of service area.

At some point, the perceived temperature in the library dropped by at least five degrees. The cold and damp air was like a poisonous snake, quietly climbing up Shen Qiting's exposed skin and transmitting the biting chill into her body.

Something is wrong here!

Shen Qiting's eyes sternly flashed, and the "ghost" and "campus ghost story" that Lin Yuan described to him quickly emerged in his mind.

It seems that the target has come to us.

Shen Qiting thought to herself, and did not immediately use magic to form a shield to cover her body. With the blessing of magic, her physical fitness and recovery ability have reached an extremely terrifying level. As long as the magic does not disappear, unless she is killed in one blow, even if she is pierced by a bullet, Shen Qiting can recover from the wound in the blink of an eye.

If the opponent attacks her fiercely, it doesn't matter if he goes straight for her vital point. Shen Qiting's title of "Mobile Library" does not only come from the huge library she carries with her, or the tens of thousands of magic books she memorizes in her mind.

This title originally came from Bai Luo.

"You love reading so much and have such a good memory. You are very similar to the heroine 'Index' in 'A Certain Magical Index'. Your attack method is exactly the same as hers. She is the 'Index of Forbidden Books', so you can just be called the 'Mobile Library'."

Chen Qiting didn't know who the "Index" Bai Luo was talking about was, but she liked the name very much, so she accepted it with pleasure.

It was not until he returned to Earth that Shen Qiting specially found this work and read it carefully, only to find that, as Bai Luo had said, he had many similarities with the heroine.

——The tens of thousands of books she memorized in her mind were not just knowledge. Words were the medium of magic, and writing was not the only medium. Language, imagination, and even memory could trigger the powerful power contained in magic.
