There were no tracks, but when the train traveled in the sky, it still made the clanking sound of an old-fashioned green train.
However, the interior of the train looked exactly like a subway, and the seats were arranged on two benches.
Since there were not many passengers, there was no need to worry about sardines being eaten in the subway in the big cities.
Qin Xingyan sat obediently in the spacious carriage, but he would look out the window from time to time.
Mo Li, on the other hand, was lying on the bench like a salted fish, using Qin Xingyan's legs as a pillow. He looked as if he was about to die because there was no wifi here.
"Speaking of which, what kind of place is Yujing Qianhuan?"
Because many of the strange creatures in the carriage did not communicate with words, even though they seemed to be chatting enthusiastically, in reality, no sound could be heard. The entire carriage was eerily quiet, so Qin Xingyan could not help but ask Mo Li, "Could it really be the Celestial Emperor's library?"
From what Qin Xingyan knew, other than the "Qianhuan Anthology" written by the late Ming and early Manchu writers Zhang Dai and the "Qianhuan Blessed Land" in Mr. Jin Yong's novel, the only other places that had the name Qianhuan were mentioned in "The First Shocking Scene" and "The Women's Book Supplement". It referred to the Celestial Emperor's library.
"No, that old man doesn't like to read, so there's no library." Mo Li shook his head and replied.
Ah, so there really is a Celestial Emperor in this world …
Qin Xingyan thought to himself.
"Most of the worlds have a huge library, where all the 'knowledge' recorded by the native intelligent creatures are copied and recorded."
Mo Li sat up and casually explained, "In the East, that place is called 'Yujing Qianhuan', and in the West, it's called 'The Sea of Craddick'. When Mr. Landlord and I returned to Earth, we accidentally entered that place. "
"Oh, I see …" Qin Xingyan tried to put on a look of understanding.
Because she had received a feudal education from a young age, most of the knowledge she learned came from the East. Other than her CET-4 English, there was nothing else she could do …
A woman with a big belly pushed a trolley past the walkway.
"Give me two cups of hot milk and chocolate." Mo Li waved at the woman. After a pause, she added hesitantly, "Please?"
The other party stopped in front of the two of them.
Qin Xingyan, who was shrouded in its shadow, felt a little creeped out by its mountain-like body. He felt that if he became that fat, he would rather die.
Then, under Qin Xingyan's horrified gaze, the woman tore open the fat around her neck and took out a tray, a teacup full of steaming sweet milk, and a large piece of chocolate from her pitch-black body.
After passing the items Mo Li had ordered to Qin Xingyan and bowing to them, the woman continued to push the trolley and walked towards the next carriage with heavy steps.
"Who was that person..." Qin Xingyan asked softly after a long while as she watched the figure disappear into the distance with lingering fear.
"A waiter … probably." Mo Li chewed on the chocolate and answered uncertainly.
This world was crazy.
Qin Xingyan was speechless as he took a sip of milk from his teacup. Then, his power began to soar.
☆
The train stopped at a platform that was like an island.
When Qin Xingyan got off the train, he realized that he was surrounded by a vast and boundless ocean.
But this ocean did not have any signs of life. If he looked closely, he would see that there were countless books submerged in the water.
"Since the birth of the world's first language, whether it was the past or the future, all of human knowledge and culture was recorded here until they completely disappeared from the earth … The last traces of extinct civilizations, the beliefs and thoughts of ancient humans, the thoughts and knowledge of all intelligent creatures about the world. Recording all of this is the meaning of the existence of the Cradric Sea …"
Mo Li said softly as if he was talking to himself.
"Why … do you know all of this, Mo Li?"
Qin Xingyan looked away from the spiral seaweed-like book tower under the sea and looked at Mo Li in surprise.
"It's nothing, I've seen something similar before." The little girl answered casually. Then, as if she wanted to divert Qin Xingyan's attention to something else, she forcefully explained, "This region is the earth region. All of the books that have appeared or will appear in human history can be found here … The more profound the book's thoughts and literature, the easier it is to sink into the deep water. Conversely, the more shallow the book is, the easier it is to float."
"Oh, is that so?" Qin Xingyan looked at a novel that was floating on the platform. The title of the novel was "My Ghost Parade Is Not This Cute", "Are you sure the deeper the book is, the better?"
"That's right, those that float so shallow are all trash!"
Jasmine replied resolutely and decisively. Qin Xingyan felt as if she could hear someone wailing in anguish from the unseen world.
"So what exactly are we here for?"
Qin Xingyan asked curiously.
"The landlord will write an autobiography in the future. But because the landlord's writing style is terrible, there's nothing else in it except for his own experience. "Mo Li answered," If we can find it, we'll know where the landlord is now. "
"…"
Was it an illusion? She felt that Xu Shenxing was miserably slandered by Mo Li.
Besides, he even wrote an autobiography. Xu Shenxing was unexpectedly narcissistic …
"There's one more thing." Mo Li warned seriously, "After you find the autobiography, you can't read the content after that. Something bad will happen if you pry into the landlord's future …"
Qin Xingyan, who saw Mo Li's serious expression for the first time, nodded involuntarily.
But then she came back to her senses.
"Wait, Mo Li, aren't you going to look for it?"
"I have more important things to do …" Mo Li looked over Qin Xingyan's shoulder and looked behind her, "Before you find the autobiography, you have to resist the 'book keepers' here … Don't worry, the will of the Great Devil Realm will guide you."
☆
Unlike God Lu Wu, the book keepers were not real creatures. They were closer to robots, and there was no room for negotiation.
So when Qin Xingyan dived into the water to look for Xu Shenxing's autobiography, Mo Li was already fighting with the three book keepers on the surface of the sea.
Even if she didn't look up, Qin Xingyan could feel the terrifying power surging on the surface of the sea.
Affected by the aftermath of the battle, many towers of books in the sea began to collapse. This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of Qin Xingyan's work.
What a joke … How could it be so easy to find the only correct answer among millions of books!
But not long after, Qin Xingyan felt as if she was being summoned by something. She swam in a certain direction and found a book that was different from the others.
'I've got it, this is it!'
Qin Xingyan hurriedly flipped through the book according to the date and found the current time.
'Lattice world? Is that a serial number? I don't care … '
The surrounding towers of books were collapsing more and more. Qin Xingyan could only hurriedly throw down the book and float up.
It wasn't that she hadn't thought of bringing the books back, but when she tried to do so, she realized that although the books could be read, they couldn't be brought back. This was because they were all the manifestations of 'knowledge', and not real entities in the true sense.
When she floated up, Qin Xingyan found that only half of the platform they came from was left. Although Mo Li was still standing there as if nothing had happened, his forehead was covered in sweat.
The three Zenyatta style bright silver book guards were even more miserable. They either had their arms pulled off or their legs were missing. The only one whose body was still intact was twitching from time to time with his head tilted to the side. He looked like a robot that had crashed.
It seemed that Mo Li had the upper hand in the battle just now.
"Did you find it?" Mo Li took the time to ask Qin Xingyan.
"Of course!" Qin Xingyan replied with a thumbs up.
"Very good, let's retreat!"
Mo Li jumped down from the platform, but he didn't sink into the water. Instead, he stood firmly on the surface of the sea and ran to Qin Xingyan's side. Before the book guards could react, he grabbed Qin Xingyan's arm and pulled hard. Then, the scenery around them changed rapidly again.
In the next moment, Qin Xingyan felt her body return to land from the buoyant sea. She was pulled back by gravity and fell hard on the floor.
When she came back to her senses, she was no longer surrounded by the vast sea. Instead, she was once again in the familiar hallway of Sakura Apartments.
"We're back already?" The girl was still a little confused. She asked dizzily, "Mo Li, since you can directly travel through space, we didn't have to take that strange train in the first place, right?"
"No, other than a few points, the only place I can teleport to is Sakura Apartments." Mo Li shook his head, "Even the teleportation ability itself was obtained because there was no supply of magic from the landlord, causing the seal to loosen."
"Even so, we didn't have to run so fast just now, did we? I think you had a big advantage … "Qin Xingyan complained as she rubbed her aching waist.
"The wisdom of mortals." Mo Li replied expressionlessly, "In the Kradic Sea, the book guards' power is limitless. Even if they are reduced to ashes, they only need a few breaths to recover. Moreover, every time they are defeated and resurrected, they will become stronger as long as they don't exceed the limits of the world. However, my seal hasn't been completely unlocked, so this kind of battle of attrition won't last long …"
"Is, is that so?"
Qin Xingyan was a little dizzy.
"..." Jasmine looked at Qin Xingyan with an expression that said, "You can't teach a child."
How should she put it? Qin Xingyan felt that as Jasmine grew older, although her facial expressions had become more expressive, they had also become more hurtful.
