Chapter 536 Special Library
Going down the stairs, only the dim gas lights are beating on both sides. Compared with the noise on the ground, the silence here is heart-stopping. The only thing echoing on the stairs is the monotonous voice of four people. Footsteps.
And Ms. Nightingale’s old, deep voice.
"The information about the Light of Miracle is too obscure, and its records only exist in a few historical documents. These are the secrets of the church. You two are trustworthy young people. I agree to make an exception and let you contact them together, but I still hope that you will Can guarantee strict confidentiality?"
"In the name of Angel"
"In the name of Ms. Scarlet."
Lin Qi also learned to press his hands on his chest to swear an oath, and he was looking forward to this trip very much.
He once borrowed books from Archbishop Trinleth of the Church of the Dark Night, but all he borrowed were ordinary classics and theological works for the public. He did not see any mysterious documents, nor did he find anything like the Necronomicon. Such special books. It is said that similar documents are stored in a special library and are strictly confidential. Even church insiders cannot borrow them. In the end, the only ones he could borrow were some ordinary religious and historical books, none of which involved the field of occultism.
He has always regretted that his curiosity was not satisfied. However, it seems that this time he has the opportunity to see the special library of another church, which can be regarded as making up for a big regret in his heart.
"Special library? Oh, yes, but it may not be the same as you imagine." The old woman's expression was a little subtle and she explained, "Basically, every church has several special library, but due to special requirements, the number Very few. There are only two Rand parishes in the Church of Tribulation, one each in Norin and Rhine. Most of the records in them are the mysterious books and history within the church."
"But those are already considered mysterious documents. Come on, a few photos killed an expert before. Is it really not dangerous to put so many mysterious files together now? "
"No, not counting the mysterious files, we use some kind of method? Special methods avoid the formation of mysterious files, which is why the number of special libraries is so small. Come on, here we are. ”
Only then did Lynch notice that the four of them had arrived at the underground level of the white tower. There was a circular corridor with featureless doors on both sides. There was nothing special about it.
However, when the old woman opened one of the doors and walked in, Lynch was stunned.
For a moment, he thought Nightingale had gone to the wrong door.
Behind the door is a small room whose size is difficult to estimate, because the room only has one color: white. The white room is empty, without any clutter. Standing inside, it feels indescribably weird.
The old woman had already walked in first. Miss Diana tugged on Lynch's sleeve. Only then did Lynch come to his senses and followed Natalie in. At this time, the old woman had already Standing in the middle of the room, he whispered to the opposite wall: "I am Nightingale. I need to check some information. They have been authenticated by me. Let's participate in the inquiry together."
"Understood." Indifferent I heard an emotionless female voice coming from across the wall. Her words were stumbling, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time, "What are you looking for?"
"Records about the light of miracle."
"Understood, please wait."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Qi was a little disappointed for a moment. It seems that this library is so strict that Lian Nan Even someone with a status like Dingle couldn't get in. He could only apply outside and wait for the people inside to find the book. Forget it, this is normal, I hope we won’t be kept waiting too long.
However, after a second at most, before a thought could be finished, the voice inside sounded again: "There are seven records about the use of the Miracle Light, which were recorded in Fourth Era 438, Fourth Era 697, and Fourth Era. Year 1175, Year 1511 of the Fourth Age, Year 221 of the Fifth Age, Year 939 of the Fifth Age, Year 988 of the Fifth Age. "What's going on? There's no need to be so fast.
Lin Qi was a little dazed. Even if there was a computer inside, it couldn't be so fast, and there was no sound of turning books inside. This made some strange thoughts pop up in his mind. idea.
"These are..."
"The first, third, fourth, fifth and sixth are usage records, all related to the church, the records are relatively detailed, the second one is the same It is a record of use, but the church is not involved. The record only has the time and place. The seventh record is a research record, which comes from the research topic of the secret society Witch Paradise. The first record is that in the year 438 of the Fourth Age, the Miracle Light first appeared, and the location is. New World Lorenzal Federation..."
The voice on the other side did not pause at all. Starting from the first one, he read out one by one all the seven messages that recorded the light of miracles in the past two eras.
The more Lynch heard, the more something seemed wrong.
This content is obviously a combination of very scattered information, and it is difficult to record it on the same carrier. If you want to find it all, you must go through a period of searching, and it will never be completed in such a short time. .
Unless the people inside have been waiting for Lin Qi and his party to ask questions, or... Lin Qi's heart trembled, and he thought of a more outrageous possibility.
Or this information is hidden in her memory. The so-called information search is the process of retrieving information from her brain.
Holy shit.
No wonder Nightingale just said that they used a certain method to avoid the danger of mysterious documents. It turned out that they used this method to record all mysterious-related histories and classics. This indeed avoids the influence of mysterious documents, but how many things do the executors have to record? No wonder the conditions are relatively harsh, and there are only two in Rand.
Damn it, I understand. The person who serves as the library probably lives in seclusion behind the wall all year round, without any contact with the outside world, so he talks so strangely. This is probably to prevent the library from being disturbed by worldly things and distracting him from forgetting the books in his mind. So the whole room uses this monotonous color, probably to avoid distraction to the greatest extent.
Damn it, it’s terrifying to think about living in this kind of environment, and the people inside can only be voluntary. Any dissatisfaction will be infinitely amplified in this kind of environment, eventually leading to irreparable damage. as a result of.
With this kind of life, a normal person would probably go crazy in a few days, but the people inside have to spend their whole life like this. How much sacrifice they have to make. These religious people are so cruel that they don’t even let themselves go. .
At this moment, a silver-haired girl wearing a strange headscarf appeared in Lynch's mind.
In a trance, someone tapped his shoulder. Only then did Lynch realize that he was distracted. He quickly put back his distracting thoughts and found that it was Ms. Nightingale who woke him up.
"It seems that you have understood that any carrier that records mysterious information will form a mysterious document, but people cannot. Therefore, people are the 'bibliographies' of each church, recording all information through word of mouth, until This responsibility can only be relieved after a certain age. Don’t think too much, this is everyone’s own choice, and don’t be distracted. The shorter the interruption time from the outside world, the less interference it will have on the book list.”
Lin Qi nodded silently, put aside distracting thoughts, and listened intently to the voice coming from behind the wall.
