Chapter 90
The library has seven floors in total. The first floor is the hall for borrowing and returning books and for inquiries, while the second and third floors are for more normal books.
There are books related to teaching, such as "Advanced Mathematics (I) (II) (III)", "Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics", "Introduction to Literary Theory", etc., as well as books for leisure and entertainment, such as "Weekly", "Look at the World", and "A Domineering President Falls in Love with Me".
These are books that can be found in any school library outside, but from the fourth floor upwards, there are books related to the supernatural world and superpowers.
The book that Xi Siling was looking for was on the fifth floor, but because Liu Huaqi and Lin Zhipei were by his side, he could not go directly to his goal.
"77, Pepe, why don't you just find a book that interests you?"
Lin Zhipei nodded happily, "I'm not a child anymore, I can take care of myself!"
Liu Huaqi also nodded. He roughly knew what kind of book Si Ling was looking for, so he helped to look for it.
With Liuhuaqi nearby, I can let Lin Chipei wander around the library without worry. Many of the books are quite interesting.
Xi Siling pretended to start looking from the third floor, while Liuhuaqi went directly to the top floor and looked down from there.
It took Xi Siling more than an hour to walk from the third floor to the fifth floor, and that was even after he ignored many categories.
Finally, he reached the corner of the fifth floor mentioned by the system. Xi Siling naturally took out the book he needed, dusted it off, and then began to flip through it roughly.
Looking at the two words "Jumang" written on the book, this was what he was looking for.
So Xi Siling turned to the first page and started reading from the beginning. The system also promptly supplemented him with some data that could be found by his supernatural powers.
——
There are [Gods] in this world.
But the concept of God is completely different from what people imagine.
In ancient times or legends, gods were fictional and omnipotent. In modern times, gods refer to those divine beings who possess a core and are in charge of a certain basic concept.
There are three concepts involved, which are explained in detail in this book.
The first is the most basic [Apocalypse].
Ordinary people will awaken their superpowers between the ages of four and ten, but a small number will awaken after the age of ten. Apocalypse people refer to those who have superpowers as soon as they are born.
The method of distinguishing is also very simple. Apocalypse mutants will be born with special signs, and in the future they will all become super S-level (S+++) strongmen without exception. However, if there can be five or six of them in ten years, it would be considered a lot.
The second is the [core].
A person who can perfectly embrace and utilize any existing superpowers is considered to have a core.
The method of distinguishing is much more complicated. The innate coherence value of a psychic with a core must be S, but a psychic with a coherence value of S does not necessarily have a core.
Ultimately, it depends on whether they can pass the test of superpower inclusion. The number is even smaller than that of Apocalypse superpowers. The system says that the last superpower with a core registered by the Superpower Institute died twenty years ago.
The last one is [Basic Concepts of Management].
It can be understood as the ultimate simplicity, and the basis for judgment is whether the supernatural power is pure and cannot be called upon by any substance other than concepts.
Such as water, fire, hardness, sky, sea, even anger, sadness and so on.
This is a talent that is almost only possessed by legendary people. Because it is so rare, almost no one will mention it on their own initiative, and it has gradually disappeared.
Born extraordinary, a divine body that can embrace everything, with a crown surrounded by concepts.
To become a god, you must meet all three conditions.
And [Jumang] is the last [god] born under this concept.
According to the records in this book, Ju Mang is the god in charge of the basic concept of "plants".
Plants are the extension of his body and consciousness. As long as he follows this concept, Ju Mang can do whatever he wants and is omnipotent.
But the appearance of gods is not a good thing for some people, especially for the leaders of the country. They will not allow others to sleep beside their bed.
They could not tolerate an uncontrollable threat, so even though Ju Mang had a calm temperament and was a kind person, he was still feared by countless people.
Perhaps it was the success of the "human" conspiracy, or perhaps Ju Mang was tired of the world's malice. About fifty years ago, he finally died in "cheers and joy". All that was left in this world was an imprinted heart, and even the history of his existence was erased.
This is also the reason why Xi Siling and others did not know about Ju Mang’s existence, but only had some idea about Ju Mang’s engraved heart.
"I calculated the time. It has been exactly fifty years since his death."
"Since his existence and past have been artificially erased, why is this book hidden in the library of the Secret Script and Supernatural Academy?"
Xi Siling's first reaction was that there was something fishy, until the system answered his confusion.
"Because this book was written by Ju Mang and left in this library. If you turn the page, you will find that this book is actually his diary."
The young man widened his eyes in surprise. Even if the concepts were different, he was still a god. How could he be so down-to-earth?
Flipping through it, I found that it was indeed Ju Mang's diary, just as the system said.
The handwriting in the first diary became more immature and the paper became older. Xi Siling took a quick look and found out that it was about what happened on Ju Mang's first day at the Secret Scripture and Supernatural Academy.
"So he's a student of Secret Writings."
"That's seriously your senior."
This feeling of traveling through time and space to communicate with predecessors is unexpectedly wonderful.
It seemed that Ju Mang had no intention of leaving anything behind. Perhaps he knew that his existence would be erased by others, so he left behind a diary with some content added, hidden in this library of secret texts, waiting for a destined person to appear.
This book was not in the library records. It was Ju Mang who secretly put it there. He also knew that few people would come to the corner full of supernatural textbooks. Even if a book was lost, people would buy a new one or borrow it and leave. No one would read it carefully.
If there is no system, Xi Siling will most likely not be able to find it, but letting Lin Chi Peilai might help them to have a 'telepathic connection' and increase the possibility.
After knowing these concepts, Xi Siling could probably guess what Hua Hegu did to Lin Zhipei.
Although Lin Zhipei is not an apocalypse mutant, he possesses the core. He placed Ju Mang's engraved heart into Lin Zhipei's body, trying to create a powerful demigod that he could control.
According to Director Chi Li, Ju Mang's engraved heart was stolen a long time ago. It is very likely that Hua Hegu embezzled the money. It is unknown how long the experiments have been conducted on it and how many innocent people have died.
Xi Siling left with the old diary and happened to meet Liuhuaqi coming down from the sixth floor.
The boy was able to find things much faster than him. The ability to detect large areas of territory was really convenient.
"A great discovery, want to see it?"
Liu Huaqi always restrained himself from "monitoring" Si Ling's every move. The boy was afraid that it would become a terrible habit and eventually hurt him.
Even the usual fog would subconsciously ignore the information sent back.
So Liuhuaqi didn't know what Xi Siling had found.
The boy took the diary and his expression gradually became serious.
Si Ling actually found an extremely useful book, which was written by Ju Mang himself.
Si Ling is so lucky.
"Do you want to show it to Lin Zhipei?"
Liu Huaqi felt that the boy had the right to know the truth. He had seen too many lies and concealments. Even if it was really "for his own good", he was unwilling to be kept in the dark.
Xi Siling also thought so. Apart from the aspects that Liuhuaqi considered, he also had considerations for the future.
It was originally just a small matter, but nothing would have happened if it had been spoken out. However, because of the good-intentioned concealment, a rift was created in the relationship between the two parties, which eventually became an irreparable regret.
Even in orthodox boys' comics, such plots are not uncommon.
But Xi Siling would not allow it. He would never accept such a development.
"Let him choose."
The thought flashed through his mind. Xi Siling was sometimes so stubborn.
Lin Zhipei didn't know what was going on yet. He picked up a book called "Rebirth: I am the Evil God's Follower" and read it with great interest.
Although it is a bit strange to have such an old Long Aotian novel in the library, it is cool to read something that does not require any brainpower.
Lin Zhipei stretched herself and just in time saw two people coming over.
"You guys are back!"
Liu Huaqi glanced at the novel on the table and was blinded by the strong title, which seemed like a joke to him.
Xi Siling also noticed this, "I remember the ending of this book was be, and the readers' reviews were very mixed."
This level of spoilers is not considered a spoiler, but it is an effective way to avoid spoilers.
The novel that started out as a cool novel has a be ending. It makes people feel uncomfortable if they don't read it for a day, and they feel uncomfortable for the whole day after reading it. They even want to rush to the author's house and kill him.
Lin Zhipei said "Fuck" silently, then quickly put the book aside, not wanting to read it anymore.
Liu Huaqi looked at the two of them with an expression that said: Senior, you actually like to read this kind of novel.
Xi Siling coughed twice and got back to the topic.
"Pepe, I found a book about... you. Do you want to read it?"
Give the choice to Lin Zhipei. Even if the boy doesn't want to know for the time being, he can find them at any time when he wants to know in the future.
Xi Siling believes that everyone has the right to choose their own path in life.
A book that looked quite old and had no cover was placed in front of Lin Zhipei.
He noticed that both of them had serious expressions, and he couldn't help but become worried.
"What is it about?"
Lin Zhipei didn't know whether she should look at it or not.
"About what Hua and Gu did."
Perhaps Lin Zipei will never forget the harm that Hua Hegu has done to him. No matter how lively and cheerful his personality is, it can only be used to cover up. There is no way to heal the wound completely.
Fortunately, he would never return to that kind of despair again.
The boy took a deep breath and opened the book.
Just as Xi Siling and Liu Huaqi guessed, Lin Zipei would definitely choose to go and see. He wanted and should know what was happening to him.
The two sat down next to each other. Xi Siling picked up a book that Lin Chipei had picked out and started reading. Liu Huaqi hesitated for a while, then picked up the book "Reborn as the Evil God's Follower" and waited for Lin Chipei to finish reading the diary.
But before Lin Cipei had finished reading, Liu Huaqi changed the book with a gloomy face.
What the hell is this? Borrowing the power of the evil god to show off is fine, just use it, but making friends with the evil god? What a joke.
