Chapter 430 Rules for Library Tours ()
"Does the Library of Babel you mentioned have these weird things?" Conan pointed to the code in Haihara Ai's hand.

Hui Yuan Ai gave him "Are you stupid?" ' Eyes: "Of course not. This is obviously someone's personal characteristic."

"To be honest, compared to the illusory book that 'records the antidote' or 'records my life,' I am more concerned about the things that Director Jinchuan hid in the children's book area, as well as the things of the deceased. Where is the body hidden?" Conan took back the piece of paper: "But the children's area doesn't exist."

He pointed to Article 7 of the code: There is no children's area in this library. If you see a children's area, leave immediately and call the number marked on the floor plan to let them know.

"The current situation can be understood as Martin deliberately hiding these two things and playing a puzzle game with us, right?" Conan raised his head and looked into the darkness, as if someone was staring at him in the darkness: " The reward for basic clearance is the evidence I want to find, and the reward for perfect clearance is the book that "records all the answers" that Haiyuan just said?"

No one responded to him, but Conan had lowered his head and concentrated on studying the code in his hand.

"Since it can be seen, it means that the children's area actually exists, but there is some kind of danger, so I have to write this sentence to warn tourists not to get close." Conan analyzed seriously, with bright eyes: "It's just dangerous. The reasons are not reflected in the code, so it is impossible to find ways to deal with the dangers of entering children's areas."

Treating this code as a game of code and decryption, Conan comes to his own area of ​​expertise:

"From the second point of view, because after the establishment of the library, all theoretical character combinations have already existed here, including books that will appear in the future world, so there is no need to include more books. But there are still books in this library Books published after 1994..."

"Wait a minute, is the year of publication still recorded in that bunch of random characters?" Conan fell into a logical problem: "In the end, since it has included books that may appear in the future, then whatever number appears in the position where the year of publication is recorded Is it possible?"

In the darkness, there was suddenly the sound of something breaking through the air.

Conan tentatively walked towards the book on the ground.

In fact, the noise might not be that loud, but the environment was dark and quiet. The sudden sound was deafening in their ears, making them jump in fright.

"This book was thrown down from a high place." Haihara Ai said the obvious fact.

There was a book thrown on the ground.

There was a loud noise and something hit the ground hard.

Ready to run, Conan pointed his watch in the direction of the sound.

Conan scratched his head: "Did I not understand something? Or did that guy write something with a bug?"

'#! '

"Hey." Haiyuan Ai hoped that Conan would be more cautious. Judging from the rules, some 'books' might be 'living'.

But until Conan picked up the book, nothing unexpected happened.

"Looks familiar." Conan joked.

The book in his hand is the same as the books he saw before, with the same thickness and the same black textured paper cover, but on it are white Chinese characters "Metaphysics - (Ancient Greece) Aristotle". After opening it, the contents inside also seemed to be very organized and normal text.

The reason why I use the word 'looks'...

"Look, I can't understand it." Conan handed the book to Haiyuan Ai, who was reading this book during the day.

"I can't understand it either." Hui Yuan Ai said.

"Hey." Conan raised his head and shouted, "At least give me a book in Japanese, or in traditional Chinese." What was thrown in front of them was a book in Chinese and simplified characters.

Now Conan has determined that the person who threw the book to scare him is that guy Martin who is paying attention to him.

"He is showing this to you." Haihara Ai closed the book and turned the back of the book towards Conan. Under the back of the book, there was a note posted on it, which read '1994.03.02'.

"Does the publication date mentioned in the code actually refer to this? It is not the original content in the book, but an additional mark attached to it." Conan understood. Martin was telling him that this was not a bug in the code, so he took the A book was thrown down.

"After all, there are all possibilities for the content in the book. Although the publication date written on the back of the title page of the book in my hand is also 94, there must be other things in this library that were written in 95, 96, or even ten thousand years later. version. But their real publication time and birth time was 94." Haihara Ai closed the book in his hand and didn't know how to return it to Martin.

"But in the room we just went to, we didn't see such labels on any of the books." Conan still felt strange, so he took the heavy book over and looked at the labels.

"I think the place we are now is not open to the public." Haihara Ai replied: "The total number of books here is an unimaginably large number, but only a very small part of them has valuable content. ,readable."

"——So the library has already classified the books and provided the readable books to visitors." Conan understood immediately: "And the place where we are now is used to store unreadable books. The books here are not intended to be open to the public. They are like cached data in a computer."

"That is to say, no matter what the goal is, we have to leave here first and go to the part open to tourists." Haibara Ai looked at the darkness below: "Generally speaking, the part open to the public must start from the bottom. Is it in the upper row?”

But they don't know exactly how many floors they are on now, but it's very high anyway.

Conan glanced at the heavy book in his hand and had a bad idea.

He extended the book over the banister, then let go, letting the book fall into darkness.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds... After counting silently for 10 seconds, they still didn't hear the loud sound of the heavy object falling to the ground, and their hearts sank.

"Are you sure that the height of the Library of Babel is limited?" The more Conan looked at the staircase, the more it looked like the infinite staircase in common horror stories.

"It's limited, but it must be very high, otherwise it wouldn't be called 'Babel'." Still didn't hear the sound of the book landing. Either Martin took the book away, or it hadn't landed yet: "Maybe we can see artificial satellites outside the window now?"

"According to that guy's style, there is something indescribable outside the window." Conan shook his head and left the stairwell directly: "Let's go, the stairs are definitely not the right answer to leave here."
