Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 197 One Hundred Twelve. Book Ghost

   These are still far from the land, and he is not even an ordinary investigator now.

   However, Lu Li was more interested in the level of difficulty of events. The difficulty of the apprentice-turned-regular assessment is only three-quarters of the simple difficulty. The trial of the seeker is in the Shadow Swamp... In other words, the Shadow Swamp is not even a simple difficulty?

   or this difficulty refers to the event difficulty, not the difficulty of Shadowswamp itself.

  This passage is unexpectedly long. Tristan spoke for several minutes, and the front finally changed.

   A stone stair extending upwards appears in front of the passage.

   The light of the electric light poured from the top of his head, and Lu Li followed Tristan to the end of the steps. A quaint wooden door appeared in front of him, which was incompatible with the overall style of the investigator base.

  Tristan pushed open the wooden door, and a row of bookshelves full of books appeared behind the door.

  Lu Li followed Tristan out of the underground passage, and Tristan closed the wooden door.

  Lu Li looked back and saw that the wooden door was the same color as the wall, and when it was tightly closed, it was almost indistinguishable from the wall.

   This is a secret passage.

  Tristan led Lu Li around the bookshelf and came to the library hall.

  The cold light of the outside world poured through the stained glass and poured into the silent library corridor. Rows of tall bookshelves need to be moved to the top to reach the other side of the hall, and the smell of ink overflows around.

  There are some figures standing in front of the bookshelf, quietly looking down at the books.

   "This is the ground?"

   For daylighting, the library has many long windows, which are located so high that you may have to stand on tiptoe to barely reach the window sill.

  Tristan walked to the counter in the corner of the library and explained to Lu Li, "The damp environment underground is not suitable for keeping books. And we are no longer at the investigator base."

"Have you seen those people, some of them are investigators, some are night watchmen or exorcists with official background. This is the real library of Belfast, jointly established by the three major organizations. full library."

   "So if I can just come here next time?"

   "That's right...but you can also go to the base first...and then come back."

   It's hard to imagine that Tristan, who is like a little giant, would be so euphemistic when he speaks, so he just begged Lu Liduo to visit him at the base.

   "Also." Lu Li nodded.

   You can go to the base to have a glass of milk and then come back.

"But if you want to leave, you can go straight out." Tristan's pace quickened, and he walked toward the counter oppressively, waving to the staff behind the counter as if he had seen an old friend: "Reis, Take our little brother Lu Li out in a while."

   It was an old man in a gray robe, with a pair of glasses as thick as the bottom of a wine bottle hanging from the bridge of his nose.

   "A newcomer? No problem." Reis nodded to Lu Li with a friendly smile. "Welcome to the real library."

  Tristan turned his head and said to Lu Li, "You can ask Reis about books, he knows every book here."

  Lu Li nodded, and Tristan waved at Reis: "I'll go back first. Remember to tell me next time there is a new exercise book that arrives."

"I will."

  Reis narrowed his eyes behind his glasses, watched Tristan walk to the bookcase in the corner and disappeared, then turned to look at Lu Li: "Hello, young man."

"Hello."

As a librarian, he has seen all kinds of people, and Lu Li's quietness is nothing to him: "Here you can read those books at will, but be careful not to let those precious books get damaged. , Because of the series of troubles caused by the disaster of the night, the books here are not allowed to be borrowed, please forgive me."

The appearance of the    Banned Book Order is not because of the Calamity of the Night itself, but an extended problem. After Lu Li wrote it down, Reis said with a smile, "You can just stroll around, or tell me what type of book you want to read."

   "Books on Geography and History."

   "Geography and history... It's similar to what I thought." Reis lowered his head and thought for a moment, then pointed to the rows of bookshelves near the middle. "The seventh row, the eighth row, the ninth row, there are mostly books on geography and history, you can find what you want there."

  Lu Li walked to the bookcase that Reis pointed to, bypassed the ladder in front of the bookshelf, and looked at the rows of books squeezed between the bookshelves. These books are the condensed history of this world.

   History of the Crotian War

   "The True Story of the Principality of Bensonkoff"

   glanced over the spine of a book. The names of these books alone could not make Lu Li interested in flipping through them.

  Lu Li didn't even know where Crotia and the Duchy of Bensenkford were.

   These books are too detailed, and Lu Li needs more macro and vast books, such as continental history, or world maps.

   In terms of geography and history, Lu Li's knowledge is so poor that it is inferior to that of a child.

   "History of Hodkin's Union Empire"

   "Marine History"

   is still a text that Lu Li knew but did not understand.

   He continued forward and unknowingly walked to the middle of the bookshelf. As he continued to walk, a translucent skirt suddenly appeared in his path.

   "Are you looking for a book?"

  Lu Li looked away from the bookshelf and looked at the transparent figure standing in front of him.

   It was an illusory transparent figure that could not be seen clearly. She was wearing a long dress with an unrecognizable color, and her face that changed at any time was like a rippling water surface, distorted and deformed, causing a strong sense of nausea and fear.

   There was no breath on her body, like there was nothing there.

   "Ghost?" Lu Li looked at her strangely. The psychic gun was at his waist, but he had no intention of reaching for it.

  This is the library with the three major organizations and official backgrounds. Lu Li doesn't think there will be weirdness here.

  The voice came from the face that could not be seen directly: "I am the book ghost, responsible for helping people find the books they want."

   "Do you know where the history of the continent and the map of the world are?" Lu Li asked, after thinking about it, he added, "A book suitable for people who haven't been exposed to history and maps before."

   "There may be a book for you."

  Book Ghost said, raising his arm and pointing at Lu Li's diagonally behind: "That's the one with the brown cover in the seventh row."

  Lu Li looked in the direction she pointed, and there was a book with a red cover in the middle of the bookshelf 30 to 40 centimeters above his head.

"thanks."

  Lu Li turned his head and said, but found that there was nothing there, and the tiny dust drifted between the bookshelves in the light.

  Looking around, Lu Li temporarily put aside his doubts about the book ghost, returned to the bookshelf she pointed to, raised his arm, and pulled out the brown-covered book.

  The cover image of the book is a wooden house in the jungle, and the brown cover is the color of the wooden house. The door was open, and a line of footprints extended from the door into the distance.

   "The Footsteps of Humanity"

   A book with a very strange title.
