Starting from Zero

"This...this is the library?" As soon as the door of the secret room was opened, I was completely stunned by the sight in front of me!

"Yes, this is our library, but the design is a bit exaggerated." The ghost's answer was tepid, but I couldn't calm down because of the library in front of me. It is a bit too exaggerated.

Behind the gate of the library is a straight long bridge. The bridge deck is made of a kind of black rock, without railings and columns, and the bridge piers below are also made of the same black stone, but without a base. Under each pier supporting the bridge deck is a slowly rotating magic array shining with blue light, and under the magic array is a starry sky. Yes, it is the starry sky. This entire library is almost as if it were built in a cosmic space. There are no walls, floors, or ceilings around it except for this bridge, and everything that a normal building should have is not here. There is no feeling of building in the whole room, as if such a bridge was built in space.

"Who built your library?" I looked at the bridge in front of me and the void all around, I asked a little surprised.

The ghost shook the head and said: "I don't know this. I was just one of the administrators here. I don't know when it was established. But I know. There are a lot of books here, and each one is extremely precious."

"But why can't I see the book?"

"That's because the book is underneath. "

"Below?"

"Yes, on the opposite side of the bridge." The ghost replied, "This bridge is the boundary of this space. Look at it this way and think the bridge is straight Yes, but when you climb to the opposite side of it, you will find that the bridge is also straight when viewed from the opposite side. And when you are there, the direction of gravity will also be reversed. Walking at the bottom of the bridge is the same as walking on the bridge. Here All of the books are under the bridge. If you don’t know, most people would never think of a book under the bridge."

"Where does the long bridge in front lead to?"

"It doesn't work anywhere." The ghost said: "From here on, the parts other than two hundred steps forward are all illusions. Once you cross the line of two hundred steps, you will enter the infinite loop of the long bridge, when the time comes No matter if you go forward or turn around, there will be only one result in the end, and that is the long bridge that never ends."

"What if you jump into the void on both sides?"

"That's the same. The void is also a continuous infinite space. If you leave the bridge and jump over, it will float endlessly, and you want to turn around and come back is impossible. As long as you leave the bridge more than five meters After this distance, the surroundings will become completely weak, even if you have wings or flying skills, don’t even think about coming back. Many thieves have sneaked into this place in the most glorious period of the Great Library. Stealing books, but all without exception are trapped alive and dead in this space."

"Listening to you, I feel that this room seems to be more precious than those books. "

"You can say the same, but unfortunately, this room cannot be moved, so if you want a book, it’s better to take it and leave."

I heard the meaning in the ghost words. "Why? Is there a time limit here?"

"It's almost the same." The ghost said: "The time will start from the moment the door opens, and a space storm will appear in half an hour, except for the bridge. Outside of the body itself and the books hidden in the bridge, all the extra stuff will be blown into the void over there, so if you want a book, it’s better to find it within half an hour and leave here. By the way , We have been delayed here for five minutes."

"Understood, let's go down here." As I said, I climbed down the edge of the bridge. According to the ghost, as long as you don't leave the bridge's five-meter range, you can fly normally, so getting to the back of the bridge is not a troublesome thing. The only slightly troublesome thing is that after crossing the boundary line below the bridge body, you will encounter a gravity fault. Taking this place as the boundary line, the direction of space gravity above it is downward, and the direction of space gravity below it is indeed upward. of. The moment of gravity passing through the junction of the two will suddenly reverse. If you don't pay attention, it is easy to lose your balance, but as long as you prepare in advance, there is nothing at worst.

I followed the ghost’s instructions and climbed to the opposite side of the bridge, and then I stood at the bottom of the bridge, but because the direction of gravity there is the opposite, even if I stand on the bottom of the bridge, I feel the same as standing on the bridge. The above is the same, and it is different from the bare bridge deck above. The two sides of the bottom of the bridge have arched supports as supporting structures. Seen from the reverse side, they have similar functions to railings.

As soon as I stood at the bottom of the bridge, I immediately found the books that the ghost said, but they did not exist as the bookshelf I had imagined. Some stones were artificially removed from the panel at the bottom of the bridge, leaving a space just like rows of bookshelves, and those books were placed in these bookshelves embedded on the ground at the bottom of the bridge.

In fact, although the bridge is very long, there are not many bookshelves under it. There are only three bookshelves inlaid at the bottom of the bridge. The largest one is an eight-meter by three-meter frame. There are many and densely placed books. There are at least thousands of books in preliminary observation. On the top of this bookshelf is carved a stone plaque that looks like a car license plate, with the words "original" written on it in magic words. It is estimated that the book here is the so-called original copy.

The second bookshelf is obviously much smaller than the first one. The size of this bookshelf may not be as big as some models of refrigerators, and it’s all sideways with the previous bookshelf. The densely packed books are not the same. The books here are all laid flat in a special groove. Each book is placed in a separate small area with the cover facing up. Large intervals, and there is a faint light film on the surface of each groove that will flash twice from time to time.

"These are the most precious and important books?" I asked, looking at the sign on the top of the second bookshelf, because it said the word "Secret Code".

The ghost said directly after hearing my words: "Yes, these are the most precious treasures of this library."

After getting the affirmative answer, I nodded and then put Ling and Xiaochun let them out and asked them to help me carefully take out the books and put them into the Phoenix Dragon Space. Moving books is not moving, besides, these books are too precious, I dare not let those Death God guards and Qilin warrior move, anyway, there are not a few books in this bookshelf in total, and it will be done soon. Of course, we have carefully checked before moving the book, and there is no book in the world book on this shelf.

None of the first two bookshelves were found, and only the last bookshelf is left.

Different from the previous two bookshelves, there is no writing on the title board of this bookshelf. Instead, a skeleton in a robe holding a sickle is drawn directly, which clearly means death and warning.

The area of ​​the bookshelf under the title plate is slightly larger than that of the No. 2 bookshelf, but there are two less books on it. The main reason is that each book on this bookshelf has been sealed more tightly. A box that looks like an urn is added to the outside of each book, and each box has a strong seal on the outside, obviously not wanting people to open the box.

"My lord, please speed up a little bit. We only have fifteen minutes left." When I was observing the so-called forbidden bookshelf, the ghost next to it suddenly reminded me.

I nodded walked to the bookshelf and squatted down, thinking about it or calling Ling over. It is better for professionals to deal with professional things, and Ling's handling of these books with a strong seal is more reassuring.

Ling didn’t read anything after he walked over, and he reached out and clicked on two books and said, “These two seals are no longer valid, just open them. The curse of Soul Eater over there, let the king or Sha Yezi went to open it. In the end, this book contained a blasting array, it would be better for me to deal with it, otherwise the book inside would be blown up. In addition, there is a strong seal under the middle stone slab, and there should be another one hidden."

The ghost obviously didn’t expect that the people I brought were so powerful, and what surprised him more was that the most troublesome blasting array that their curator told him before, actually didn’t even last ten seconds. It was taken down by Ling.

The four books taken out of the four boxes were all wrapped in black cloth. After carefully opening it, we discovered that the four books are actually not too exaggerated. The first book is a biographical book that records the secret history of Divine Race. Although it is of high political value, it is basically meaningless to us. The second book is a forbidden spell book, this thing is more precious, and its value is much stronger than all the books on the previous shelf plus one piece. The third book is also a magic book, but it records very rare soul magic. In the teachings of Light God Palace, soul spells are classified as evil and cruel spells, and France happens to be the headquarters of Light God Palace, so it is not surprising that this kind of soul magic book is banned. But for us this thing doesn't make much sense, at best it can be regarded as a good skill book. The book in the last box is even more strange. This is a series of skill books, but there is no name on the book, so we don’t know what it is called, but after a brief look, I can roughly classify this book into the category of "medical skills". . Everything recorded in the entire book is about reproduction, and there are also a lot of magic animations in it. Basically, it can be regarded as a book similar to the ancient "Yellow Emperor Esoteric Scripture" in China. Although useful, But its usefulness is also limited.

After putting these four books away, I took down the bookshelf according to Ling’s instructions. It turned out that there was a microwave oven-sized groove at the back of the bookshelf. The same form is just a big stone box. However, if you want to get this stone box, you must first solve a problem, that is, the groove is covered with a red magic array. This magic array picture has been flashing constantly, and the occasional fluctuations of magical power vented on it can make people feel as if they are standing upside down.

"What kind of magic array is this? How do you feel like being stared at by some wild beast?"

Ling followed the all around edge of the groove and touched it, Then replied: "It should be an absolute banned array, a self-contained circular array. It can absorb the energy generated by external attacks and convert it into defensive energy, so general attacks are all ineffective against it, and if it can’t be done all at once Destroy it, and you will find it is getting stronger and stronger."

"How do you crack it?"

Ling stretched out three fingers. "There are three methods. The first is to place it in an environment where the space energy is zero and let it slowly lose energy. Finally, when its energy is exhausted, the seal will naturally disappear. But this method does not last for three to five hundred years. Don’t expect it, so don’t take it into consideration. The second method is to use a super attack that exceeds its conversion limit to completely destroy the magic array in one blow, so that it will be completely destroyed by the remaining energy in the attack before it can fully convert the attack energy, so that it does not have time. Used. But from my observation, the damage output required by this method is too exaggerated. Even if you call Kristina and gold coin together to combine the power of the three of you, you probably won’t be able to hit this level of attack. The damage output of that level is not easy to control the intensity. After destroying the seal, it is likely that the box below will also be explodes into waste, so it is not appropriate."

"What is the Third Type method?"< /p>

Ling pointed directly at his feet and said: "We walked around to the front, and then made a hole directly from the bridge to pull the book out from behind. As for the magic array, it only sealed the front anyway. And all around, just leave it alone."

"This is a great idea." I exclaimed.

The ghost hurriedly yelled: "Not good, this idea is not good at all. You do not know it, my lord, this bridge is made of ebony steel, and the hardness is beyond your imagination. Whatever..." Halfway through what the ghost said, I couldn't say it anymore, because while he was trying to explain to me that the bridge was very hard, I had pulled out the eternity and flattened it against the support frame next to it. Yijian, and then I saw that the so-called extremely strong Wujin Gang was cut off by me as if cutting tofu.

"Isn't the hardness too good," I said, holding the cut corner.

The ghost was stunned for a long time before saying: "When I didn’t say anything!"

After returning to the front of the bridge, we roughly determined the position, and then I The Eternal Sword was turned into a cutting knife with a T-shaped head, and a large hole was dug from the bridge deck in a few strokes. After cutting the last layer of slab, the stone box below appeared in front of us, but there was no time to open it for inspection for the time being. As soon as I got the box, I quickly retracted Ling and Xiaochun, picked up the ghost, and ran towards the exit. Thirty minutes of moving and reaching the limit time. If you don't go out, you will be blown into the air. In order not to be blown away, I can only go out and check the box.

We rushed out of the gate at the last second before the storm, and then closed the safety gate directly, and we were finally safe. After returning to the storage room above with the ghost, I threw a large bag of black liquid crystal powder to him.

"Okay, this is the end of our employment relationship. Thank you for your help. I have to go first."

"Your Excellency, you have this bag of things to me The best thanks." The ghost raised the crystal powder in his hand and said.

After bidding farewell to the ghost, I reopened the wall panel that I had dug out before and prepared to get out. Who knew I had just dropped the wall panel and found that there were four people standing outside, dumbfounded. Looked at me with his face. We both settled there. After a little hesitation, I got out of the hole as if nothing had happened, and then put the wall panels back in. However, just as I was about to turn around and leave, the leader of the three guys who were obviously one of the four of the other party suddenly reacted and grabbed me who had already passed by him.

"Boy, do you think we don't exist?"

I looked back at the wrist he was holding, then looked up towards his face coldly said: "You It’s best to let go immediately, otherwise I don’t guarantee that your hand will still be attached to your shoulder for a while."

"Hey, isn’t your tone small? I'll just stand here and let you..." The guy suddenly got stuck in the middle of what he said, because he suddenly found his arms and shoulders separated. After returning for a second, with the pu' sound, a lot of blood spurted out of his shoulders, and at this time the guy reacted and started to scream while clutching his shoulders.

Looking at the guy who fell, I didn't bother to care about him. I turned around and started to walk outside. Who knew that the two guys beside that guy suddenly reacted from shock and rushed towards me together. When I heard the footsteps behind me, I suddenly turned around, waved out like eternal lightning, and was taken back. Then I saw the two fools rushing past me, and ran forward two steps before the two fell to the ground together. After landing, the head parted with the body and rolled forward along the ground.

After putting the eternity back in place, I turned around and prepared to leave this alley. Who knew it was only two steps before I heard the call from behind: "Hey... eh... don't go."

< p>I suddenly turned and looked towards the last remaining woman, staring at her for a while, until the other person’s eyes flickered as if they were about to run away at any time, and then said: "I know you are not in the same group. But anyone who stands in my way will die. Now give you twenty seconds to give me a reason to stop me."

"I want to hire you to help me kill some people." The other party quickly finished the sentence. After waiting for two seconds, it seems that the courage has been exhausted. Generally speaking, I explained in a smaller and smaller voice: "I think you lost them in a few seconds, so I think you must be very difficult to deal with, so I thought ......"

"Sorry, you can't pay for my appearance fee." After I finished speaking, I turned around and walked directly outside. Anyway, I just stole someone’s library. Hanging around at the crime scene is not something a wise thief should do, and I’m still not sure if the box I got contains three books of the world. One of the books, I'm anxious to find a place to check, how can I take any tasks?

I was about to turn out of the alley, but the woman behind didn't expect suddenly shouted: "I know a magic crystal mine with high reserves that no one knows about."

< p>The sound was like a brake signal, and my foot was stuck in midair for an instant, almost tripping myself. "What did you say?"
