Traveling Frog: People in Douluo start thundering fruit

Chapter 23 Like-minded Meng Yiran

Xiao Mu curiously asked Senior Sister Xiang: "The unknown past?"

"That's right, didn't you realize that before we went to Shrek Academy, we didn't have a history course at all?"

Xiao Mu recalled the scattered memories in his mind, and then realized that there seemed to be such a thing.

He then nodded.

"Of course we who lack historical education will be full of curiosity about past history, but these histories are not important to the curriculum and are not something ordinary families like us can learn at all."

Xiao Mu asked curiously: "In that case, why can't we print more historical books and periodicals, so that people who lack historical knowledge can fully understand it."

The senior sister sighed, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I don't think you are a bad person, so what I say next is just my personal opinion. At the same time, you must keep it a secret for me."

"Yeah! Absolutely no problem!"

The senior finally felt relieved, smiled slightly, and continued talking about the topic just now.

"Actually, I suspect history has been erased."

"History erased?"

"Well, I am a keen person, and I am also more interested in history. Perhaps this is the reason why we share the same interests, so I can speak freely to you with confidence."

"Perhaps I'm not the only one who thinks this way. It seems to me that this empty history has been deliberately erased."

Xiao Mu carefully recalled what happened in the library just now, and it was indeed a bit strange.

"Senior sister, do you mean what happened in the library just now?"

"Well, that's right. It seems you have noticed the problem."

"Indeed, I didn't pay much attention to the locked glass door of the bookshelf that requires a student card to be opened. But now that you've said it, I realize that this design has an ulterior motive."

The senior sister nodded, "Well, that's right. When you take out any books and periodicals, the system will also accurately record the books and periodicals taken. In other words, who took what books and periodicals at what time, and when. When it is returned, these detailed data can be queried through the recorded system.”

"It turns out that there are historical books and periodicals placed in corners that are out of reach, and there aren't even any escalators for easy climbing."

"Well, if I hadn't been there at that time, you might have gotten into unnecessary trouble."

Xiao Mu asked curiously: "If you were not present, what would happen if the library staff discovered my behavior like this?"

"Actually, the library staff are not the establishment staff of the college."

"What?! Could it be that they are hired from outside?" Xiao Mu thought about it carefully and realized something was wrong, "No! If it was an ordinary outside employee, the hospital would not specifically ask students from your student union to assist. This way The assistance is a workload-reducing benefit for library staff.”

"The staff of the library belong to the World Government. The male staff member just now is a staff member of the World Government."

Xiao Mu's eyes widened instantly, "What? Another world government?"

Ever since Xiao Mu traveled here, the thing that appeared most in his mind was the "World Government".

"What's wrong? What do you know about the World Government?"

Xiao Mu shook his head, "No, I don't understand the world government either."

"It was only after I assisted the library that I discovered that the world government attaches so much importance to the borrowing of historical books and periodicals."

"So...Senior, are you saying that the world government intentionally controls and monitors the world's understanding of history?"

"That's right. Just after you left, you can see that the administrator behaved so cautiously. This is no small matter."

"Then the library has been independently managed by the world government since the establishment of Shrek Academy?"

"I don't know about this. At least for the past few years, the library has been managed independently like this. If you really want to get to the root of the problem, you can only find out from the dean."

"Then what will happen if I am discovered by library staff?"

"I will be arrested for questioning...Actually, this is just a rumor. After all, I am only a second-year student and have never seen it before. But we will be so vigilant to prevent anyone from making mistakes."

"You will be arrested and questioned even if you borrow a history book? The history books in the library..."

"I don't know what the purpose of the library is. Since you don't want people to understand history, why do you put historical books there? If it is easy to attract people's attention and they will more or less notice the existence of history books, then Curiosity will also follow. It is too contradictory to deliberately erase history without preventing people from picking up the book and reading it. Once they read it, they will investigate and question it."

"As you said, this is too contradictory. If you forcefully explain all the contradictions, it may be a bait."

"Bait?"

"Well, maybe this is a bait released by the World Government. It is placed on the bookshelf just for fishing. The purpose of the investigation and questioning is to confirm whether the fish is what it wants."

"Putting bait like this...then what is the purpose of the World Government?"

"Then I don't know. How can I know something that even you, senior sister, don't know? Maybe only those who have been asked will know."

"Anyway, this is not something we ordinary people should know. It is not our turn to pursue the truth."

In Xiao Mu's view, such a different Douluo Continent seemed a bit depressing, as if he was completely dominated by a cage of ignorance.

It's like the Blue Star people are full of curiosity about the mystery of aliens, but the truth is deliberately concealed.

It seems that there is a shocking secret but the truth is controlled by the most powerful party. People are being played like chess pieces in the hands of the powerful party.

Such a curious senior gave Xiao Mu a feeling of déjà vu. The senior seemed to be closer to the truth than ordinary people, but she was severely slapped in the face by reality.

In the end, she was just a caged bird who was kept in the dark.

Just like the chess pieces on the chessboard that can be manipulated at will, even if she sees the problem with the chess position, as a chess piece, she can do nothing but survive obediently within the current laws of the plane.

"Okay, it feels so comfortable to speak freely. I have to go back to class. Xiao Mu, don't you have to rush back to class?"

"Ah...I was just about to go back to class. I didn't expect that we would be so opportunistic. We almost went to class after chatting."

"Then I'll go back first, classmate Xiao Mu~"

"By the way, what do you call me, senior?"

"Meng Yiran~"

Xiao Mu was stunned for a moment. It turned out that she was Meng Yiran, who had only appeared in a few appearances.

At the beginning, Xiao Mu had a familiar but indescribable feeling towards her. It turned out that the other person was wearing a nice modern school uniform, so Xiao Mu didn't recognize her at all.
