He Ao's eyes swept over the woman 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 used Bracelet to search for information. In fact, it was just testing the network.
Wherever the network can extend, modern technology can extend.
However, after seeing that this woman was blind, He Ao realized that his previous guess might be a bit wrong. This woman should have "eyes" made of other things, such as those Vengeful Spirit 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 continue going deeper.
The problem is that this "invitation" is not that "polite".
In a normal "invitation", when a guest arrives, the host should come out to greet him to show his 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 mechanism, 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 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 open Hyper-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 Hyper-memory can't find the trap set by the opponent, then it doesn't really mean much whether He Ao can run or not.
In fact, there were several times that He Ao wanted to rush in directly, ignore him, and directly fight 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 "Warrior" is affecting his personality.
When Transcendental users use Talent Sequence, they are also affected by 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 deepest target 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 knows very well that he can 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 just not come out to see He Ao.
Then He Ao will not lose money if he obtains the knowledge on the bookshelf.
In fact, the other party has been passive since He Ao discovered this underground library.
Judging from the layout of the library, it seems that the other party has not considered the possibility of outsiders breaking in. Except for the Vengeful Spirit 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 has no problem spinning a three-hundred-pound cross in a remote chapel in a remote Small Church corner.
But from the beginning to now, the other party has not launched an attack on He Ao, so He Ao does not know whether the other party is an enemy or a friend.
Until the other party fully appeared at this moment, He Ao did 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 beside 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 consciousness to explore the woman, but withdrew his consciousness.
In fact, based on the current situation, he has roughly guessed the woman's strength.
Even C-Rank's top Berserker can easily see through it with his divine sense. If his divine sense cannot see through it, it only means that the woman is stronger than Berserker.
B-Rank!
And it is also a powerful presence in B-Rank.
This is the second time that he has been so close to a real B-Rank. The Enoan who was just promoted last time is probably far inferior to the beautiful woman sitting in a wheelchair and blind beside him.
He Ao felt a shiver in his heart, but the powerful physical control of "Warrior" did not allow him to make any unexpected movements, and he still maintained the appearance of selecting books.
Although the boss B-Rank next to him is a blind girl, he doesn't know if the other party has other "eyes".
Rock City The water is getting deeper and deeper.
In such a small city, B-Rank should be the highest pillar.
Judging from the combat effectiveness of Commander City Defense Army, Rock City may have only one or two B-Rank in total.
He actually met one here.
"Is there anything you want to know?"
the beautiful woman asked softly.
Her eyes moved from behind He Ao to toward He Ao, and she seemed to be oriented 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 Existences rarely fall into desperate situations of death. When they are most dangerous, they are often sealed by other Great Existences. They are extremely difficult to kill,"
The beautiful woman said slowly, "But there happens to be a book about the death of Great Existence. I don't know if it's 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"
"Great Storm is related to the god of death?"
He Ao While simulating in his mind his best escape route when the other party makes a bold move, he reaches out his hand to pick up the book.
With his current strength, he can beat C-Rank, and with the bonus of divine consciousness and Hyper-memory, the newly promoted B-Rank can give it a try, but he has no confidence at all against such a powerful veteran B-Rank.
"To be precise, it has something to do with the war between Great Existences."
The woman seemed very friendly and patiently answered every question He Ao had.
Great Storm blocked all ocean routes of Original Federation, causing the sea to be shrouded in violent storms for hundreds of years, completely cutting off contact between Federation and other large areas of Original Federation.
Even with the current technology of Federation, it is impossible to break through the Storm Sea and visit those lost lands.
Some people believe that First District still exists, and that technology is developing faster than the current Federation, and will soon be able to break through the Storm Sea and re-communicate with the current Federation.
Others suspect that the other regions of Original Federation may have been destroyed in Great Storm. Only Second District, which is now Federation, has been preserved for some reason.
People with various views argued endlessly, while the Federation government just watched in silence.
However, as time goes by, fewer and fewer people care about Original Federation.
He Ao opened the book. The paper was extremely soft and skin-friendly, and seemed to be some kind of specially prepared 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]Secret Medicine formula.
Although he couldn't understand these words at all, he could naturally understand their meaning.
"This is Dennis Text, created by an ancient 'angel' who observed Great Existence. This kind of writing can record mystery 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 feel the doubts in He Ao's heart, and slowly explained.
It has a natural ritual effect. I don't know if it can replace Ritual Array. Maybe one day I can communicate with Good Friend just by shouting Dennis Text, so that I can be on call at any time in a true sense.
But Good Friend seems to be getting more and more irritable now.
Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, He Ao continued reading the book in his hand.
The content of the book is very simple. It tells that from about the ninth year of Original Federation to the tenth year of Original Federation, something unspeakable fell on this planet.
Great Existence who are high in the Outside of Time and Space have descended here one after another, forming a huge God 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 those Outside of Time and Space Great Existences fighting with each other.
He could not observe the sound and shadow of those Great Existence, 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 out from 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.
Did you see through it?
Or maybe you really don't want to take action? Really a good person?
He Ao took back his mind and continued to flip through the books in his hands. There was a vague sense of unbalanced uneasiness in his heart, but he couldn't tell where it came from.
The specific process of God War is not described in detail in the book, but it is said that this was a war in which only Great Existence participated. In the end, the war ended with the death of God of War and another unknown Great Existence.
The indescribable things that Great Existence are fighting for seem to be extremely important to God of War, and God of War is the most active.
Books record that Goddess of Beauty, God of Order, God of Death, and Eternal Light besieged God of War. After God of War died, these four Great Existence 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 God War mentioned in the book was to rob something, but in fact, God War ended it after killing God of War and another unknown god.
The remaining gods did not continue to fight for such things and just left, seemingly not caring about such things at all.
Or after killing 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 God of War, and the target has been God of War from the beginning.
Or maybe it's both.
He Ao recovered his thoughts and continued to look down.
The second half of the book is an analysis of the impact and results of this God War. The God War disrupted time and space, and the remaining power of the Great Existences triggered the Great Storm that has not stopped for hundreds of years.
However, the book did not mention whether Great Storm destroyed other regions, and the reason why Second District was safe and sound in Great Storm formed by the power of gods.
In the last section, it describes the whereabouts of God of War.
After God of War died, his body fell into the distorted space-time near the planet.
Under the influence of God of War's corpse, a new place with different rules from the normal world was born in that time and space.
That place is called Invitel Canyon, which means the place of reversal.
Then the whole book comes to an abrupt end here.
He Ao always feels that there is a follow-up to this book, but unfortunately there is no follow-up to the one he is holding.
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 ceiling lamp, 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 "Warrior" also surged into his heart, making him want to tear everything apart crazily.
At this moment, a cold hand grabbed He Ao's wrist.
He Ao's body froze, but he didn't make any move.
A cool 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 like he came 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."
"Okay."
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 God War. According to the book, this God War was a war fought by the gods themselves, with only the gods participating. However, the author recorded it as if he was watching it at the scene.
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, B-Rank. After paying a certain price, historians can 'see' history."
Even God War can look back. This ability seems a bit outrageous.
After reaching B-Rank, it seems that Transcendental's abilities become mysterious.
But looking back at God War, 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 alive and well.
"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-Rank 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 walked forward side by side. He Ao glanced at the surrounding bookshelves and asked casually, "Old Foreman, do they come here often?"
This is asking about the relationship between beautiful women and Old Foreman and Miners Mutual Aid Society.
"Old Foreman didn't find this place."
The beautiful woman still kept her cold voice and answered softly.
The answer only mentioned Old Foreman and no one else.
Either someone else from Miners Mutual Aid Society has discovered this underground library, or the beautiful woman has only been exposed to Old Foreman.
However, the beautiful woman also told He Ao through this answer that she knew Old Foreman, which reassured He Ao.
He Ao Without saying much, 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, which were embedded in the tracks on the walls on both sides. Then he directly supported the beautiful woman's wheelchair and moved it along the tracks on the wall to the outside.
He Ao looked back at the underground library. He always felt that there was some kind of secret hidden in it.
Rock City's situation 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.
Snap——
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 read books at a normal speed and did not use Hyper-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 beside him and said softly, "I haven't introduced myself to you yet, my name is Nell."
"Iliyan."
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 shout came from outside the door, "Nell? Nell? Brother, slug, where are you?"
He Ao:?
------Digression-----
It's 8,000 yuan per day, including the morning one. It's 10,000 yuan a day. I'm shamelessly asking for a monthly pass.
