With facial recognition and card swipe, Gu Xingmiao quickly entered the 5th floor of the library.
Here are some historical books about ancient literature, including various histories of China over the past 5,000 years.
And the moment he stepped into the library, the strange feeling Gu Xingmiao felt became even more obvious.
In the center of the library, the large chandelier looked particularly dazzling. For a moment, Gu Xingmiao felt that the chandelier was as dazzling as the sun outside.
As the elevator went up floor by floor, and she arrived at the floor with the historical area she wanted to visit, Gu Xingmiao found it quiet and silent.
Unlike the past, there are always younger students sitting in front of those tables with sad faces, revising their papers, or borrowing books.
Except for every incandescent bulb in the library that was still lit, the place seemed particularly deserted.
Gu Xingmiao stepped on the wooden floor, and each step made a slight sound. He looked down, but only saw the white halo reflected on the floor, which was still so dazzling.
She couldn't help but pinch her brows and blinked, even suspecting that it was an illusion caused by her eyes being too dry.
The main reason is that this symptom feels too much like dry eye syndrome.
“…”
Gu Xingmiao was almost amused by her own guess.
But her keen sixth sense told her that perhaps the sense of harmony and strangeness she felt was hidden in these books.
When I was looking up the paper, which book was I looking for information about?
Gu Xingmiao didn't expect that even with her super memory, she couldn't remember everything clearly.
This is even weirder, okay?!
It really reveals too many weird points.
The school deliberately divided the books into categories from top to bottom according to age, and those that could not be strictly divided were placed in other categories.
In fact, it can be said to be a coincidence. The book area closest to Gu Xingmiao is close to the literature handed down from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties and before.
Gu Xingmiao subconsciously pulled out a book from the bookshelf, then took out several more books and walked to the seat with the books in his arms.
But when she turned to the first page of the book on top, she was stunned——
Because there are no words in the book.
The paper is blank.
Gu Xingmiao's hand paused for a moment and quickly flipped the pages of the book.
One, two, three...
The strange thing is that these books are all blank and have no words on them.
When Gu Xingmiao closed the book, the words written on the outside became blurred, as if the deception had completely disappeared.
Gu Xingmiao stood up and walked quickly to several other special areas, and he found that those areas were the same. When the books were taken off the bookshelf and opened, it was like opening Pandora's box.
It's all blank! Blank! Blank!
It actually looked extremely pale.
When she took out her phone and searched for keywords, the phone instantly became distorted and blurry, and the words typed on it disappeared one by one...
It was obvious that he knew she was looking for these things, and made it impossible for her to do so.
Gu Xingmiao's eyes sank instantly.
When you have doubts about the world, and wonder whether there is true knowledge in the world, you can find the answer from the text.
If words do not really exist in this world, then what else in this world really exists?
Gu Xingmiao became more certain of her previous feelings.
This is not a real world.
Her heart was beating like thunder.
Even though the college life he simulated was very real, the surrounding scenes were also very perfect, and even the attitude of his roommate was exactly the same as in reality——
But if it was just to simulate certain scenarios and what he wanted to do to himself, then why did his "roommate" say those things to him?
Perhaps it is some idea hidden by someone in the dark?
The disappearance of all written records of human history is no less than a huge cultural change and an epic devastating blow.
But Gu Xingmiao didn't believe that there was any powerful force that could erase the existence of all the words, nor did she believe that someone was trapping her just to prevent her from seeing these words, or to make her recall the past.
Campus life is indeed beautiful, but Gu Xingmiao's casualness is just a choice of "retirement life" in the face of turbulent times, which does not mean that he has forgotten the skills he once mastered.
"Who are you?"
Gu Xingmiao spat out three words coldly, and it was clear that his gaze was not focused on the real thing, but these words were conveyed to the people in the dark.
It’s a pity that the sound coming from this floor of the library was just her echo, and no one answered her.
"What is the purpose of bringing me here?" Gu Xingmiao spoke again, and she was obviously calmer than before.
The light bulbs above my head flickered, and the hanging bulbs were shaky, as if they were about to fall down at any second.
Gu Xingmiao remained calm.
"You think human civilization will not disappear..."
"But, I have read from your kind that your civilization has clearly disappeared." The voice was turbid, as if it came from far away, but also seemed to come from nearby.
It was carrying thousands and thousands of countless sounds that were coming towards Gu Xingmiao.
"Humanity even has to retrieve fragments of memories from the past."
But the information obtained is still so fragmentary and extremely vague.
After hearing these words, Gu Xingmiao's brain suddenly overwhelmed with capacity and felt an immense pain.
His brain was like paste, as if someone had stuck a wooden stick into it and was constantly stirring it, making him feel restless all the time.
Of course, this strange feeling of pain also made her feel unexpectedly familiar, and sporadic images flashed through her mind again.
“The past cannot be recalled, the future cannot be predicted, and the past of the future is disappearing…”
"Gu Xingmiao, tomorrow comes again, and tomorrow is no longer tomorrow. Will you still choose to move forward?"
Gu Xingmiao: My head hurts and I can’t understand.
She raised her head with some difficulty, her voice becoming even colder: "I don't understand what you mean, but I never thought that human civilization would disappear."
"Even from the past to the future, or from the future to the past, the civilization inherited by mankind will always exist."
After hearing what she said, the voice seemed to let out a barely perceptible sigh.
“History is buried in the blank spaces between words.”
"Gu Xingmiao..."
You are the only spark of civilization left by mankind, traveling from the past to the future and from the future to the past.
It is also the only Ziwei star.
