He Ao's eyes swept over the woman's body without leaving any trace, and continued back to the bookshelf.
This woman's eyes were covered with gauze, and she was not facing He Ao when she spoke. She was most likely blind.
He Ao was not surprised by the woman's appearance. In fact, when the secret passage suddenly closed as soon as he entered the passage, he knew that someone was probably watching him quietly behind the scenes.
After all, this underground library needs to be protected so tightly. It is obviously a relatively important area, and it is not difficult to achieve remote observation.
Just install a monitor on the innermost door.
He Ao just searched for information on his wristband. In fact, he was just checking the network by the way.
Wherever the network can extend, modern technology can extend.
However, after seeing that the woman was blind, He Ao realized that his previous guess might be a bit wrong. The woman should have had eyes made of other things, such as the resentful spirits at the door.
But after all, this woman should have discovered He Ao a long time ago. As soon as He Ao entered the stairs, the altar above automatically closed. He Ao actually looked carefully and found that there were no automatic sensors around. Someone should be operating behind the scenes.
In a sense, this is actually an ‘invitation’ for He Ao to go deeper.
The problem is that this 'invitation' is not that 'polite'.
In a normal ‘invitation’, when the guests arrive, the host should come out to greet them to show their goodwill.
But the 'owner' of this underground library has been hiding deep in the library and has not come forward or even spoken.
If the other party does not welcome He Ao, they should close the altar as soon as they unlock the trap, or directly close the deepest bright red door and directly 'reject' He Ao.
This kind of friend-like-enemy attitude made He Ao feel a sense of crisis. After all, in his first official copy, he almost died at the hands of a dancer who also 'attracted' him.
So he didn't go straight to the direction that attracted him like before, but stopped and walked.
It would be embarrassing if Mangzi plunged in and was greeted not with a warm welcome but with a warm trap.
He didn't close the door, and he was standing at the edge of the bookshelf, so that he could rush out at any time. The altar was not heavy and could be knocked out with a rush.
While stopping in front of each bookshelf, he will also activate his super memory and scan the surroundings for traps.
As soon as there is any disturbance, he will run away immediately.
The reason why he didn't run away at the beginning was because the books on this bookshelf were really attractive and he was really curious, and he didn't find any obvious signs of traps along the way.
If Super Memory cannot detect the trap set by the opponent, then it doesn't really mean much whether He Ao runs or not.
In fact, there were several times that He Ao wanted to rush in directly, ignore him, and fight directly with the person at the deepest level.
But they were all suppressed by him.
His own personality is not that violent, so he has reason to suspect that this is the 'warrior' affecting his personality.
When extraordinary people use the talent sequence, they are also affected by the talent sequence.
Along the way, it was actually a silent game between He Ao and this woman.
Whoever takes the initiative to find the other party first will be weaker in momentum.
Of course, He Ao never thought of actively looking for the target deep in the library from the beginning.
After passing this D-shaped bookshelf, he will not go to the bookshelf at the back, but will turn around and run away.
Go out and try to find out more information about the other party.
If the other party really sets a trap in the depths, these bookshelves filled with various rare books will be the bait to lure the curious cat into the trap.
After all, those who have been able to explore all the way here and discover this mechanism must not be weak in curiosity.
However, as a qualified prey, He Ao knew very well that he could leave after eating most of the bait.
Just like a smart fish will eat most of the bait on the hook and leave the empty hook to the angler.
So in this game, He Ao will never lose no matter what.
If the opponent wants to harm him and sets a trap in the deepest part, then he will run away after eating the bait.
If the other party doesn't want to harm him, but just wants to give him a blow for some reason, then He Ao's approach will force the other party to come out to meet him.
Of course, the other party can also keep suppressing it and not come out to see He Ao.
Then Heao will not be at a loss if he obtains the knowledge on the bookshelf.
In fact, from the moment He Ao discovered this underground library, the other party fell into a passive position.
Judging from the layout of the library, it seems that the other party has not considered the possibility of outsiders breaking in. Apart from the wraith on the door, there are basically no defense arrangements.
However, this idea is also very reasonable. In a city with a strong religious atmosphere, who would have no problem spinning a three-hundred-pound cross in a remote chapel in the corner of a remote chapel.
But from the beginning to now, the opponent has not launched an attack on He Ao, so He Ao does not know whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend.
Until this moment when the other party fully appeared, He Ao had not completely let down his guard.
He swept his hand over the books on the bookshelf and asked softly, "Are there any books you recommend?"
At the same time, he mobilized his consciousness to scan the woman next to him.
The woman's energy is extremely powerful, and her spiritual consciousness, which was always invincible in the past, is now covered by the rich energy, making it impossible to fully see the energy flowing in the woman's body.
You should be able to see clearly by increasing the amount of spiritual consciousness, but spiritual consciousness is a consumable. He Ao only has three channels in total. After using it for so long, more than half of the first channel has been consumed.
He did not continue to increase the power of his spiritual consciousness to explore the woman, but withdrew his spiritual consciousness.
In fact, based on the current situation, he has roughly guessed the woman's strength.
Even the top C-level berserker can easily see through his divine sense. The inability to see through with his divine sense can only mean that the woman is stronger than the berserker.
Class B!
And it is also a powerful presence in B-level.
This is the second time that he has been so close to a real B-level. Ainuoan, who was just promoted last time, is probably far inferior to the beautiful woman sitting in a wheelchair and blind beside him.
He Ao's heart trembled, but the strong physical control of the 'Warrior' did not allow him to make any unexpected moves, and he still maintained the appearance of selecting books.
Although the B-level boss next to him is a blind woman, he doesn't know if she has other 'eyes'.
The water in Rock City is getting deeper and deeper.
In a small city like this, Class B should be the highest pillar.
Judging from the combat effectiveness of the city defense commanders, there may only be one or two B-level troops in Rock City.
He actually met one here.
"Is there anything you want to know?"
the beautiful woman asked softly.
Her eyes shifted from behind He Ao to towards He Ao, and she seemed to be orienting herself based on the sound.
Both of them tacitly resolved the silent game just now.
"I think..." He Ao reached out and touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, thinking, "Is there any book about the death of gods?"
"Great beings generally rarely fall into the desperate situation of death. When they are most dangerous, they are often sealed by other great beings. They are extremely difficult to kill,"
The beautiful woman said slowly, "But there happens to be a book about the death of a great being. I don't know if it is what you want."
She waved her hand gently, and the first book on the bookshelf slowly popped out.
He Ao looked at the title of the book, "The Origin of the Great Storm"
“The Great Storm is associated with the god of death?”
While He Ao was simulating his best escape route in his mind when the other party made a bold move, he reached out his hand to pick up the book.
With his current strength, he can still reach C level. With the bonus of divine consciousness and super memory, the newly promoted B level can give it a try, but with such a powerful veteran B level, he has no confidence at all.
"To be precise, it is related to the war between the great beings."
The woman seemed very friendly and patiently answered every question He Ao had.
The big storm blocked all the ocean routes of the original federation, causing the sea to be shrouded in violent storms for hundreds of years, completely cutting off the connection between the current federation and other regions of the original federation.
Even with the current technology of the Federation, it is impossible to break through the Sea of Storms and visit those lost lands.
Some people believe that the First District still exists, and that technology is developing faster than the current Federation, and they will soon be able to break through the Sea of Storms and reconnect with the current Federation.
Others suspect that other major districts of the original federation may have been destroyed in the great storm, and only the second district, the current federation, has been preserved for some reason.
People with various viewpoints argued endlessly, while the federal government just watched in silence.
However, as time goes by, fewer and fewer people care about the original federation.
He Ao opened the book. The paper was unusually soft and skin-friendly, and seemed to be some kind of specially processed sheepskin.
There is no nonsense at the beginning of the book, and the history is introduced directly.
The whole book is very thick, but its content is not much, and the text recording the content is an ancient text full of history. He Ao once saw this type of text when he obtained the [Collector's] secret medicine formula.
Although he couldn't understand these words at all, he could naturally understand their meaning.
"This is Denis writing, created by an ancient 'angel' observing a great being. This writing can record mysteries and has a natural ritual effect. People who read it can instantly understand its meaning even if they don't know it.
.”
The beautiful woman sitting in a wheelchair beside her seemed to sense the doubts in He Ao's heart, and slowly explained.
It has a natural ritual effect. I don’t know if it can replace the ritual circle. Maybe one day I can communicate with good friends by just shouting in Denis text, and I can be on call in a true sense.
But my best friend seems to be getting more and more irritable now.
Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, He Ao continued to read the book in his hand.
The content of the book is very simple. It tells the story that something unspeakable fell on this planet from about the ninth year of the original Federation to the tenth year of the original Federation.
Great beings who live outside time and space have descended here one after another, forming a huge divine war.
Waves of twisted and painful calls sounded in He Ao's mind. As his reading deepened, he seemed to have visited the battlefield of the gods, watching the great beings outside time and space fighting each other.
He could not observe the sounds and shadows of those great beings, but the aftermath of the battle turned into a twisted and chaotic spiritual will that invaded his mind.
At this moment, his brain buzzed, as if he had lost control of his body.
Two lines of bright red blood tears flowed down his eyes.
This should be the most suitable opportunity for a sneak attack.
He Ao kept his body still and waited quietly for a while.
But nothing happened.
The beautiful woman was still sitting calmly in the wheelchair, seemingly not seeing anything.
Seen through?
Or do you really not want to take action? Are you really a good person?
He Ao withdrew his mind and continued to flip through the books in his hands. He felt a vague sense of unbalanced uneasiness in his heart, but he couldn't tell where it came from.
The specific process of the God's War is not described in detail in the book, but it is said that it was a war in which only great beings participated. In the end, the war ended with the death of the God of War and another unknown great being.
The ineffable things that great beings fight for seem to be extremely important to the God of War, and the God of War is the most active.
Books record that the God of Beauty, the God of Order, the God of Death, and the God of Eternal Light besieged the God of War. After the God of War died, these four great beings were also injured and left directly.
After the war, the unspeakable thing disappeared.
He Ao carefully read through the contents of the book and found something interesting. The purpose of the God War mentioned in the book was to snatch something, but in fact, the God of War was killing the God of War and another unknown person.
It's over after the gods.
The remaining gods did not continue to fight for such things, and just left, as if they didn't care about such things at all.
Or after killing the God of War, that thing will disappear directly, and in the end all the gods will return in vain.
Either this is a game against the God of War, and the target has been the God of War from the beginning.
Or maybe it's both.
He Ao retracted his thoughts and continued to look down.
The second half of the book analyzes the impact and results of this divine war. The divine war disrupted time and space, and the remaining power of the great beings triggered a great storm that has not stopped for hundreds of years.
However, the book did not mention whether the big storm destroyed other large areas, and the reason why the second area was unharmed in the big storm caused by the power of the gods.
In the last section, it describes the whereabouts of the God of War.
After the God of War died, his body fell into the twisted space-time near the planet.
Under the influence of the God of War's corpse, a new place with rules different from the normal world was born in that time and space.
That place is called Invitel Grand Canyon, which means the place of reversal.
Then the whole book ends abruptly here.
He Ao always felt that there was a follow-up to this book, but it was a pity that the one he was holding had no follow-up.
After reading this book, He Ao felt that his head was buzzing. He felt that whispers were coming from the bookshelf, on the roof, under the floor, in the overhead lights, and everywhere in the world.
These whispers are sometimes rational, sometimes gentle, sometimes enchanting, and sometimes chaotic. They are like tiny ants, crawling up He Ao's soul, tearing at his soul bit by bit.
At the same time, the irritability from the 'soldier' also surged into his heart, making him crazily want to tear everything apart.
At this moment, a cold hand grabbed He Ao's wrist.
He Ao's body froze, but he didn't make any move.
An icy cold feeling, like mints in the throat, emerged along the hand that grabbed his wrist, removing He Ao's violent emotions and soothing his chaotic soul.
He Ao felt that he had gone from the chaotic market to the quiet piano room in an instant, and the whole world fell silent.
Although these emotions and pollution did not actually affect him, he still lowered his head and said softly, "Thank you."
"It's okay," the woman said softly, "your body can't bear the pollution from the next book."
"good."
He Ao glanced at her and nodded slightly. He closed the book in his hand and looked at the author's signature on the book,
Historian.
In fact, he had some doubts from the beginning. This book records the war between gods. According to the book, this war between gods was personally fought by the gods and only the gods participated. However, the author recorded it as if he was watching it at the scene.
Same.
He looked at the woman in front of him and asked softly, "Is this author a historian?"
The woman shook her head and whispered, "Talent Sequence 157: Historian, Level B. After a historian pays a certain price, he can 'see' history."
Even the God War can be replayed, this ability seems a bit outrageous.
After reaching level B, it seems that the abilities of extraordinary beings become more mysterious.
But looking back at the War of Gods, I'm afraid the price paid by this historian was not low, and he may even have paid it himself.
Sacrifice your life to seek the truth of history?
He Ao put the books in his hands back on the bookshelf and shook his head slightly. Maybe this historian is still living well somewhere.
"It's almost dawn, I'll take you out."
The beautiful woman on the side said softly.
This is an eviction order.
After all, this is a B-level boss. He Ao has always been a good person who is considerate and law-abiding. He nodded lightly, "Okay."
The beautiful woman turned the electric wheelchair and the two of them walked forward side by side. He Ao glanced at the surrounding bookshelves and asked casually, "Do the old foreman and the others come here often?"
This is asking about the relationship between the beautiful woman, the old foreman and the miners' mutual aid association.
"The old foreman didn't notice this place."
The beautiful woman still kept her cold voice and answered softly.
The answer only mentioned the old foreman, no one else.
Either other people from the Miners' Mutual Aid Association have discovered this underground library, or the beautiful woman has only had contact with the old foreman.
However, the beautiful woman also told He Ao through this answer that she knew the old foreman, so that He Ao could rest assured.
He Ao didn't say much, and the two of them came to the stairs together.
He Ao was about to ask the boss in the wheelchair if he needed help. Then he saw two pairs of rollers extending from both sides of the beautiful woman's wheelchair, embedded in the tracks on the walls on both sides, and then directly pulling the beautiful woman
The wheelchair was supported and moved outside along the track on the wall.
He Ao looked back at the underground library. He always felt that there was some kind of secret hidden in it.
The situation in Rock City is getting more and more complicated.
He shook his head, went up the stairs, and left the passage.
The heavy altar sealed the entrance again.
An undead figure on the bright red door emerged from the door. It glanced around and found that He Ao had left along the corridor. It breathed a long sigh of relief.
Snapped--
The bright red door was slammed from the inside, and the little undead sat among the undead on the door and continued to mourn sadly.
······
When He Ao walked out of the passage, the morning light had already shone through the glass on the thick cross.
Unknowingly, he had stayed in the underground library for so long.
He always read books at a normal speed and did not use his super memory to memorize them directly, so it was normal that it took him so long.
With a soft sound, the cross automatically twisted back and turned to the forward direction.
He Ao looked at the beautiful woman sitting in a wheelchair next to him and said softly, "I haven't introduced myself to you yet. My name is Nell."
"Ilia Ann."
The woman's voice was still cold, and she nodded slightly, "Your brother seems to be looking for you. I have something else to do, so I'll excuse you now."
As she spoke, she controlled the wheelchair and left through the side door.
At this time, a loud cry came from outside the door, "Nel? Nel? Brother, slug, where are you?"
He Ao:?
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
It's 8,000 for the second watch, which means it's already over 10,000 per day including the one in the morning. I'm so shameless in asking for a monthly pass.
