Chapter 1176 The Fatal Game Begins (II)
“You two, please stay.”
As Shu Ling’s words fell, Futaba stopped almost instantly, and Frank Hughes, who was walking next to him, was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head in confusion and anxiety. While looking at Shu Ling nervously, he shrank behind Futaba.
The reason is very simple. Unlike Frank Hughes who was caught off guard, after completing the satisfactory task just now, Futaba immediately got a prompt from the system that 'the triggering conditions of the subsequent task line have been met', so psychologically Very well prepared.
Of course, Mo Tan has the same mission, but given that the person standing next to Futaba at this moment is Frank Hughes, a little appropriate shock is more appropriate.
"You can't be promising, hasn't he already told us who he is?"
Futaba glared at Mo Tan with some confusion, then turned to Shu Ling and asked with a slightly raised corner of his mouth. : "So, is there anything else?"
Shu Ling stood up from behind the spacious desk, with no obvious emotional fluctuations. Slowly walked up to the two of them, nodded slightly and said: "Yes."
"Tell me."
Futaba spoke concisely and concisely, perhaps because he had just taken advantage of others and was still planning. For more reasons, this girl who was particularly venomous today did not follow her previous style of asking Shu Ling to 'let it go', but asked him to 'speak'.
"First of all, I need to emphasize one point, Ms. Futaba."
Shu Ling turned his gaze to the thin black parchment in Futaba's hand and said calmly: "Although I have already moved the first area to District 38...that's where we are now I have summarized all the books on the first floor that can theoretically help you, and copied their locations and summaries to you, but this is still not enough for you to complete your transformation in a short time."
Girl. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ta Ling slightly. Ning: "Are you kidding me?"
"That's not the case. After all, I only promised you to 'recommend books', not to 'solve problems.'"
Shu Ling shook his head and said calmly "In fact, I am already able to easily I tried my best to deal with it within the scope of loose processing. The thirty-fifth area is okay, but the knowledge in the forbidden book area should not be classified as a 'reward' in theory, but I still put the thirty-sixth to thirty-eighth The essence of the layer is given to you as a gift”
Futaba laughed dryly, squinted and said, "Just skip the bargaining and tell me your purpose directly."
"'Proposal' is a more accurate word than 'purpose'. "
The book spirit corrected it, and then listened to Futaba's advice obediently, and said bluntly: "As a spirit born from this library, my essence is not a 'wise man' or ' "Collector', but a pure 'seeker of knowledge', but I can only 'seek' and 'observe'"
Futaba smacked her lips impatiently: "Let's get to the point." "
"The point is that neither knowledge nor truth can be easily obtained or observed."
Shu Ling's expression was calm, but there was a heavy meaning in his words: "And there is no 'possibility' in books. Unlike living beings like you, no matter how profound a book is, It's just 'dead wisdom', or in other words, they have never lived from the beginning."
Futaba cursed, obviously not interested in Shu Ling's profound summary just now.
But Frank Hughes thoughtfully put his index finger against his chin and said hesitantly: "So, Mr. Shu Ling, what you want is to use the help of our two living lives?" ’, to explore the possibilities that don’t exist in books?”
“Exactly correct”
The book spirit nodded in approval, while looking around at the countless people in the fog. The thick bookshelf loomed in the mist, and he said: "Although I also have my own 'personality', the very fact of reading the books in this building countless times has already reduced my 'possibility' 'It has been reduced to the lowest level. Many times, when I have no other choice, I will even regard some things that should be controversial as the truth, because there is no comparison and no identification. ”
"So?"
Futaba yawned and asked lazily: "Are you going to let us stay here with you and read a book? Then we will have brainstorming sessions every now and then, and we will have a few debates and so on. "Look at it?"
"It's not that troublesome."
Shu Ling laughed, then raised his hand and handed over an untitled book. , there is no author name, no printing unit, simply put, there is nothing on the cover, and when opened, there is just a lot of white paper inside. The 'book' is spread out in front of the two people: "If you are willing, I can provide the stage now, Let the two of you write a new story in this stagnant illusion."
"Write... a story?"
Futaba repeated something in a low voice, and suddenly frowned: "Wait a minute, do you think this useless man next to me wants to come too?"
Shu Ling nodded slightly: "If Mr. Frank is willing."< br>
“Why?”
Futaba was aggressive and shouted to Shu Ling angrily: “Didn’t you just say that he is different from me and does not meet the requirements? Why now... …”
“If it means ‘being able to bring me unknown knowledge’, Mr. Frank is indeed far less qualified than you, Ms. Futaba, after all, there is an ‘essential’ difference between you.”
Shu Ling calmly interrupted Futaba's question, and then gently patted the wordless book in his hand: "But we are talking about another thing now."
Futaba took a deep breath. After taking a breath, he turned to Frank Hughes behind him and asked: "What do you think?"
"Well, to be honest, I haven't understood the situation yet."
Mo Tan said sarcastically He scratched his hair and shrugged to Shu Ling: "So, could you please explain it more clearly?"
"Of course."
The book spirit nodded very cooperatively, with a look of expectation in his eyes: "To explain briefly, as the 'spirit' of this library, although I do not have any actual authority, I can still... under certain circumstances...such as The third level of the forbidden book area where we are now located has multiple high-quality energy sources."
Frank immediately asked: "What is it?"
"Through my own accumulation and some media, I projected in this forbidden book area where there are countless 'gaps' due to the large amount of mounting space, and synchronized the consciousness of the two people with this carrier."
Book. Ling patted the book in his hand again and said calmly: "Put you into a certain story."
Futaba raised his middle finger and pushed up his glasses, then began to raise his hands to read the book Ling and Mo Tan paced back and forth and murmured quickly: "Use the unstable gap to interfere with the order of space, shallowly interfere with the basic laws through a method similar to pseudo-space flow, and then use this library Its own 'mysterious' quality forcibly creates a mini version of the inherent barrier... there is something... there is something, you fat boy!"
Faced with Futaba's exclamation, which was either praise or criticism, Shu Ling just nodded lightly: "It seems that Ms. Futaba has understood."
"Although she understands, she actually doesn't understand at all. "
Futaba snorted, then twitched the corner of his mouth and said dryly: "Okay, you can continue to explain."
Shu Ling smiled, and then. Turning around, he faced the rows of bookshelves that had quietly emerged from the mist at some point: "I will select suitable stories for you, and continue to observe and adjust during the process. Fortunately, although The knowledge I have absorbed is like a pool of stagnant water, but it is still enough to support me in controlling the surrounding environment and 'interacting' with you."...
After a brief silence, Mo Tan and Futaba looked at each other, and both caught a strong 'interest' in each other's eyes.
Obviously, when they heard this, they, who were quite smart, had basically fully understood the wishes of Mr. Shuling in front of them.
Like a child who is unreasonable and dissatisfied with desires, this 'spirit' bred by countless knowledge has had enough of the 'stagnant water' that is always the same in its mouth.
Although he lacks emotions, he is different from Tal Rasha's Shutalian, Diana's Little Star, Kenneth's Trim, and Asang's Dorami. He is alive.
The pursuit of new things is almost an instinct for many intelligent creatures, not to mention this book spirit who was born from the "desire for knowledge".
"Can I understand that the story you call is exactly the knowledge you possess."
Frank Hughes looked at the book spirit with burning eyes and subconsciously clasped his hands: "And you What we want to see is what we can produce when we enter the story. Influence and butterfly effect?"
Futaba's beautiful eyes were also firmly locked on Shu Ling's face: "Send us into the 'story' that has become an established fact and is of interest to you. Let's see how far we can go... if we want to do something like this, Even if it is a simple story, even if you have almost divine authority, it still requires a huge amount of calculations to ensure that there are no fatal logical errors. Can you really do this? ”
< br>"If it's just me, of course "I can't do it."
Shu Ling bluntly stated that his skills were insufficient, but then added: "But if you can use the power of this library, you can barely control Miss Futaba. The so-called 'inherent barrier'."
Mo Tan blinked curiously and asked: "But Mr. Shu Ling, didn't you say that you don't have any authority?"
"This form of borrowing does not require permission, because I can be completely Being regarded as part of this library and requiring permission to practice are all acquired rules and do not conflict with what I want to do.”
Shu Ling bent down and placed the wordless book in his hand on the ground, and said softly: "In fact, since a long time ago, under the influence of the forbidden book area, this library itself can be regarded as some kind of 'mysterious phenomenon' "
"I'm tempted."
Futaba smacked his lips and glanced at Frank: "What do you think?"
"As a bard, this opportunity can almost be said to be a gift from God. Of course I want to seize it, but..."
Mo Tan frowned and hesitated uneasily: "The risk "
Although he had come to the conclusion that it was 'probably safe' after studying the mission description, Futaba nodded in agreement and asked Shu Ling: "This is what I want to ask as well."< br>
“There is no risk.”
The latter gave the answer without hesitation, explaining: “First of all, before the spirit of the two of you and the carrier I created...that is, in front of you After the book is synchronized, I will leave your body in this place and take good care of it, keeping you in a state similar to meditation. Once an unexpected situation occurs, as long as I intervene slightly, you will immediately Wake up from 'Story'"
"What about the spirit?"
Futaba immediately asked the second question and said in a deep voice: "How do you ensure that there will be no accidents when we enter the 'story'? If I guess correctly, The more exciting the story, the more dangerous it is."
"That's natural."
Shu Ling nodded slightly and replied without thinking, "But it's still not a question. Question, because a 'story' is just a 'story' after all. No matter how realistic it is, as long as I, the narrator, am not willing to hurt you, nothing will really happen to you. However, in order to maintain the authenticity of the story, you may indeed be in it.' "Injured," but I will control it well."
Futaba clapped his hands: "Okay, I have no problem."
Shu Ling immediately turned to Mo Tan: "So, what about Mr. Frank?"
Of course Mr. Frank has a problem. After all, he is not the player Tan Mo at this moment, but an NPC born and raised in the Innocence Continent. , is still an NPC with a lover and concerns, so naturally he cannot be as free and easy as Futaba, so...
"There is only one problem."
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice Said: "How can I confirm that you don't want to hurt us?"
This is a very tricky question but difficult to ignore.
The correct answer to this question is, 'You two are from another world, and I can't interfere with your true [spirituality] at all.' But Shuling cannot answer that way, because Frank Hughes is not from another world.
So Mo Tan seems to have added a lot of difficulty to himself invisibly. After all, he can basically be sure that he will not be threatened in this regard.
But this is by no means a wrong question, because for him, as long as there is a dead guy with four eyes next to him, he can never be too careful, and playing Frank Hughes well is The foundation of foundations.
However, Shu Ling was not stumped by this tricky question, but smiled and said: "Because I can't hurt you."
"No?"
Mo Tan was slightly startled and asked: "It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't?"
"Yes, although I have never thought about hurting you two, in fact, even if I want to, I can't." There is no way to put it into practice."
"The reason is?"
"The reason is that I have no right to harm you."
< br>
"The passes in your hands indicate the identity of your guests. Please note that they are guests, not uninvited guests."
"What do you mean?"
"The library will not harm it. guest, and I am part of the library, so..."
"You can't do it even if you want to?"
"That's right, I can't do it even if I want to. to.”
