Transform randomly in Kexue World

Chapter 432 Rules for Library Tours ()
Conan pulled Haihara Ai and was running away desperately.

Even so, he could still hear, in addition to his own footsteps, the sound of pages turning behind him, a special kind of footsteps chasing them, and the sharp sound of nails scratching on the floor tiles.

Even though I know that this is just an illusion created by Martin, just like horror games and horror movies, it is difficult to control the emotion of fear even though I know it is fake, not to mention that now that virtual reality technology has surpassed the reality, fakes can be confused with real ones.

However, at this moment of desperate escape, Hui Yuan Ai suddenly tripped and fell to the ground, causing a tragic chest arrest.

"Haiyuan——" Conan stopped and looked back.

The light of the flashlight also turned to the back, and this time Conan knew what was chasing them.

Haiyuan was seen lying on the ground, with a human-shaped object behind her.

If the object was considered to be human-shaped, it would be very tall. If it stood upright, it would be three and a half meters tall. The dark body is as thin and long as a stick insect, and it walks on all fours like an ape.

But the object is a book. An open book is its main body, and the body below seems to be just a bookmark string hanging down from the book. There is also a label at the bottom of the book that indicates the actual publication date. Although he cannot see it clearly, Conan believes that it is a book published after 1994. A person who has forgotten that he is not a book.

However, the 'book' did not attack the two of them. It stood there motionless, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

They were two adults, with faces in their early thirties, wearing black uniforms. They seemed to be library staff.

"This way!" Conan pulled Haibara Ai and ran into the room marked Adult Zone. According to Article 8 of the Code, the Adult Zone is an absolutely safe zone that can deal with all dangers.

Obviously when they entered the door, they both paid attention and crouched down to guard against possible sensors, but as soon as they opened the door, they found that the light inside the door was originally on, and it was bright.

Until Haiyuan Ai stood up from the ground after falling and patted the dust on his pants, the 'book' stood up again, replacing the roar with the sound of turning pages.

Natural Sciences-Geography Area, Natural Sciences-Biology Area, Natural Sciences-Astronomy Area...Adult Area!
Speaking of which, is this adult section serious?

Then Conan saw that there was indeed someone in the room besides him and Haibara Ai.

However, the expected feeling of a beast slamming into the door did not come, reminding me that Conan was now on a surreal set.

Conan was finally a little calmer than before when he ran away this time. As he ran, he used his flashlight to shine on the doors on the left and right sides of the corridor to check the house numbers on them.

Just as the paused video continues to play, Conan and Haihara Ai continue to run, while 'Shu' continues to chase behind them.

Although he didn't have green eyes, his expression was stiff, like a corpse or a puppet, which made Conan feel like the uncanny valley effect was about to happen again.

Not caring too much, Conan quickly closed the door after rushing in, and used his body to hold it against the door as a habit.

The two weird-looking staff members didn't make any move. They just stood behind the desk in the corner of the browsing room, staring at the two of them calmly, as if they were playing a one-two-three don't move game.

Conan remembered that according to the code, whether you encounter books after 1994 or books with garbled characters, you must report them to the staff.

Although the monster that just chased them should belong to the 'book that turns by itself' rather than the first two, Conan doubted their existence and connection, and the code that he had thrown away was indeed garbled. "Hello...?" Conan greeted hesitantly: "There are strange books in the corridor and a piece of paper with garbled characters."

Hearing this, the two puppet-like staff members took action, looked at each other, nodded, and both walked over.

It seemed that the password was correct, but Conan became very nervous as the two people approached.

One of the staff members bypassed Conan and Haibara Ai, walked to the browsing room door behind them, opened the door and walked out.

Within ten seconds, the staff member came back, holding a book in his right hand wearing a thin red velvet glove. He pinched the corner of the book and raised his arm straight away from his body, looking very cautious.

The book was similar to the books Conan had seen elsewhere, with the same color and thickness. The only difference was that the bookmark ropes of the previous books were all red, and the bookmark ropes in the staff's hands were black, which made Conan Thinking of that monster's body.

If nothing else, that book was the 'book' that had just chased them.

Conan looked at the staff member and saw him walking to a corner of the room, picking up an ordinary cardboard box, and throwing the book in like trash.

Then he put the cardboard box back, turned around and went out again. This time he should be going to deal with the piece of paper, right?
Conan suddenly noticed that another staff member was still in front of him. He turned to look at the other staff member and found that the other staff member stretched out his hand towards him.

Do you mean asking for money? Still want to hold hands?
Because it was not a real terrorist incident but a game, Conan boldly reached out and tried it first. The other party just held his little hand and led him towards the bookshelf in a certain direction of the room. He also looked at Haihara Ai with a stiff expression, as if to say, 'Follow me too.'

This staff member did not wear gloves, but his hands were very cold when held, but soft to the touch, like a wet sponge. Reminds Conan a bit of the feeling of doing an autopsy on a corpse.

Conan was led to a bookshelf in fear, and then the staff let him go, but did not walk away but stood aside, as if they were supervising something.

Are we allowed to read a book here?

Conan looked at the bookshelf in front of him. It was the same as in the previous room. The books on the bookshelf were all chaotic and unreadable character arrangements. But now he knew that this was just after exhausting all possible character arrangements in the 'Library of Babel'. The disordered and unreadable parts were discarded. They were not dangerous gibberish mentioned in the rules.

He glanced at the staff member again, who was still staring at him with that stiff face that caused the uncanny valley effect. After Conan and Haibara Ai looked at each other, Conan reached out and took out the book that was closest to him and opened it, while Haibara Ai opened it. Yuan Ai made no move, observing Conan's condition from the sidelines.

Conan discovered that the book contained a note with the upper part torn off between the cover and title page.

{... 15. "Loan magazines" are not available in the library's browsing room. If you see one on the shelf next to it, please do not take it off.

16. Do not stay alone at a desk in the browsing room that is obscured by bookshelves.

17. If you have violated any of the above and find yourself lost and separated from other acquaintances, please immediately find the browsing room nearest you within a quarter of an hour and inform the staff in blue overalls there (note, if When you see a staff member wearing black overalls, please pretend not to hear whatever the other person says to you), he will immediately take you to the professional category in the adult area. Don’t be afraid, the books here are easy to understand. After you can calmly read a psychology professional book, the staff will take you out of the zone (please make sure he is wearing blue clothes). At this time, your family and friends will be in the adult room. The entrance to the zoning area is waiting for you. After all this, leave the library immediately.

18. This library has only one shelf for psychology majors. If you see more than two rows of bookshelves for psychology majors in the situation described in the previous item, do not leave the partition and inform the staff to wait until the number of bookshelves for psychology majors returns to one row before leaving.

As long as you follow the rules above, you'll have a pleasant browsing experience! You and your children will gain countless joy and knowledge! Follow the rules, stay safe, and have a great time with your family and friends!
