Chapter 189: Lightning Speed
Lin Xi is a well-known person who always takes advantage of others and takes advantage of others. When the clerk was soft-hearted, she started to make trouble: "Please be flexible. There is a first time for everything. Just lend me a book. I only want one."
"No, I really can't get started for the first time."
Although the clerk acted like a young wife, she refused to budge, no matter how hard Lin Xi talked. Even when Lin Xi threatened her with Shen Sang Ning, the clerk was almost crying. She lost all her initial dignified demeanor and couldn't bring herself to say the word "borrowed".
She even said, "Dear reader, if you do this again I will have to call security!"
"…Why are you so excited? I just said I wanted to borrow it, but I didn't really borrow it." Lin Xi finally gave in to her selfishness. The most labor-saving method was gone. She thought of another idea instead: "Then do you know where the book "History" is?"
The clerk shook his head in confusion: "I don't know."
“…”
The work standards of the staff in the Ghost World Library were really not good. When Lin Xi asked, they just stood there in a daze and didn't know how to use the computer to check. Lin Xi often followed Chen Sang Ning to the school library. The librarian knew the books in the library like the back of her hand. Every time Chen Sang Ning wanted to borrow a book, she could accurately tell the location of most of them.
Occasionally, there were a few lesser-known books, and she had a vague impression of them, but she would only turn on the computer to check if she was unsure, and then tell Chen Sangning to find them herself.
Comparing the two, the difference is obvious.
Lin Xi looked at the computer next to the clerk: "If you don't know, just turn on the computer and look for it for me. The computer is right next to you. You can't just sit here and do nothing."
After these words were spoken, Lin Xi saw that the clerk's face looked even more aggrieved. She said in a softer voice, "The computer is broken and can't be turned on."
She knew that 80% of the monitors in this world were useless! Lin Xi almost couldn't help but spit at the monitor. She suppressed her anger and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go in and find it myself."
The clerk was a little worried, so he specifically reminded Lin Xi: "The books here cannot be borrowed, damaged, or stolen."
Lin Xi waved her off and ignored her. She had to borrow the book "History," but after walking up the stairs, she was a little confused. Unlike most libraries, this one didn't have classification signs. She randomly entered a room and didn't see any signs near the bookshelves.
Whether it is a library or a bookstore, there will generally be a classification, and there will also be a number at the front of the bookshelf, for example: History A001-History A099. This allows readers or librarians to easily find the books they want.
But if there is none here, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The most important thing is that it is impossible to tell what kind of book this is just by the spine. There are only patterns but no title on the spine. Lin Xi used his head to look for it. Although this library does not have a specific sign, there is a general floor plan in the lobby.
The library has two main buildings, with a patio in the middle and a small building next to it. Lin Xi estimated the size based on the floor plan, and it covers at least 15,000 square meters. Based on the floor plan, the total construction area is about 35,000 square meters.
This knowledge was taught to Lin Xi by the staff of the base every day. There were also some methods to find safe exits, which Lin Xi almost knew after seeing the floor plan. During this period of time, knowledge was stuffed into Lin Xi's brain through various methods.
The staff really want to develop memory bread or some kind of chip to cram knowledge into people biologically.
Fortunately, Lin Xi still remembered a lot of things, at least they are useful now - the use is to tell himself that this library is really big, the collection of books must be terrifyingly large, and it is even more difficult to find the book called "History".
On the bright side, there might be more than one book called "History", but several.
Lin Xi felt uncomfortable after visiting just one room. She knew that there must be many traps in the library, and that staying in the library would not bring any good results. So Lin Xi went downstairs and went to the main hall, and left the library under the clerk's puzzled gaze.
She squatted by the library like a street urchin. At this moment, the ghost who made the rules might be choked - it only made the rules for the library's interior, forgetting to make the rules for the exterior. It should have clearly stated that street urchins like Lin Xi were not allowed to squat at the door without manners, destroying the image of the library!
Lin Xi's behavior was indeed somewhat out of place in the library. The front of the library was quite impressive, with a unique cubic structure. The large floor-to-ceiling windows outside the front hall were bright and clean, allowing one to see the people coming and going inside. If one stood a little further outside, one could also see the Roman columns and marble architecture, a perfect combination of art and modern design. The library director must have a very aesthetic sense.
It’s such a high-end and classy library, but there’s a street urchin squatting at the door.
The street stalkers were a nuisance, but the people who passed by were all ghosts, and apart from glancing at Lin Xi a few times, they wouldn't do anything else. At least, they wouldn't dare to do that when Chen Sang Ning was around.
Lin Xi squatted at the door, but Shen Sang Ning couldn't do the same thing after being called out. She was now between the stupid Ning Ning and the smart Ning Ning, closer to the smart Ning Ning, so she couldn't squat on the ground with Lin Xi like the stupid Ning Ning. But she could float next to Lin Xi and pretend to sit down.
For example, when sitting, it seems like you are sitting but also like not sitting.
Shen Sangning was still a little girl who cared a lot about her face, so before she sat down, she first glanced at Big Eyeball, then tucked the hem of her skirt, letting the skirt tuck into her knees, and then sat down while keeping a floating posture.
Seeing Lin Xi’s very distressed look, Shen Sang Ning floated towards Lin Xi and poked Lin Xi’s cheek with her finger: “Lin Xi, don’t frown, you will turn into a little old woman.”
Lin Xi held Shen Sang Ning’s hand: “No, your wife is naturally beautiful.”
She sighed again: "But how do I find that History book?"
Chen Sangning didn't respond, but instead started a new topic: "Lin Xi, this book is called 'History'. What do you think it's about?"
At this moment, Lin Xi changed his mind and asked, "Is it the history of the world of rule-based weird stories?"
Shen Sangning nodded: “Well, it’s probably a book like this.”
Lin Xi followed Shen Sang Ning's thoughts and continued to think. If this book is the entire history of the world of Rule Ghost Stories, it must be a very thick book... Wait, that's not necessarily true. Lin Xi suddenly thought of the archives room of the Central Primary School. Logically, the files should be filled with words, but they were all "death".
Although it is also related to Teacher Gao in the archives, who knows, maybe the librarian is also a psychopath and his archives are also filled with words like this?
Lin Xi slapped his head, deciding to think about it from a more normal perspective. If this was a very thick and important book, it certainly wouldn't be kept in a normal reading area. Perhaps it was in some forbidden book vault or something like that. Lin Xi knew that many municipal libraries had their own special collections, where rare and precious books were carefully hidden.
In this case, the target is narrowed down a lot. The History book is most likely not in the glass building outside, but in a small building at the back that is not open to the public.
Lin Xi thought about this and didn't rush in directly. Instead, he took Shen Sang Ning home to eat something to fill his stomach. Unfortunately, there was no No. 4 bus at the library entrance, but bus drivers from other routes could also take Lin Xi to find No. 4 bus.
After Lin Xi and Chen Sang Ning boarded the bus, the bus driver suddenly seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up, steering the bus like an Initial D racing car, throttle and clutch shifts moving with fluidity. Because of the high speed, and Lin Xi sitting in the sideways seat in front, it was inevitable that the whole person would sway from side to side.
Logically speaking, Shen Sang Ning should have had the intention to kill at this time. But not today.
Because when Lin Xi was swaying left and right, she could just hold Lin Xi in her arms. Not only was she not angry at all, but she was also very happy.
Chen Sangning hugged Lin Xi like she was coaxing a child, holding her in place so she wouldn't fall into the carriage. She even reached out and stroked Lin Xi's cut hair: "Don't worry, it won't be thrown out." Yes, Chen Sangning particularly liked Lin Xi's short hair. She could tell that Lin Xi had had her hair trimmed a little, but not too much, and it still remained in the style she had given her.
This alone is enough to keep Shen Sangning in a good mood.
It just doesn't feel as smooth as before, and although it's not to the point of being prickly, it's definitely not as good as when my hair was long before. But Chen Sang Ning still loves the new Lin Xi, the one with the hairstyle she designed herself.
When she was cutting her hair before, Shen Sangning wanted to hold Lin Xi in her arms and stroke her, but the atmosphere was not suitable at that time. Now she finally found an opportunity.
Lin Xi didn't say anything, because she could tell that Shen Sangning really wanted to stroke her head. If someone else's hand came up, Lin Xi would have slapped it away. But if Shen Sangning wanted to stroke her... then let her.
The sheer speed of the bus made Lin Xi almost carsick, and she felt like vomiting. Just then, the bus finally found a No. 4 bus. The driver slammed the accelerator like crazy, and the bus even hit the back of the No. 4 bus in front.
After the No. 4 bus slowed down, it suddenly accelerated and came to the
They were on the left side of the No. 4 bus. The No. 4 bus couldn't open its windows to see what was happening, but they could still see the ferocious face of the driver of the next bus through the glass, as well as Lin Xi and Shen Sangning sitting in the back.
At that moment, both the No. 4 bus driver and the ghost driver felt like they wanted to escape, but no matter what they did, they couldn't.
In other words, it's a bit like being attacked by an evil spirit.
