Deadpool's words made Harry feel a little uneasy.
He intuitively judged that the mercenary was not entrusted by Nihon to deliver a message, and the "rose of time" … This was a message related to the three pillar gods. Harry thought for a while.
He put away the double-sided mirror.
He didn't intend to ask Kamia directly. He chose to explore the library first.
He took out the golden key from his chest.
Harry clasped his hands and closed his eyes.
He felt the heat slowly rising in his palms.
Harry had discovered by accident that he could use the key to enter the library.
Kamia, that troublemaker, did not say anything. However …
To be precise, this wasn't the real Babel library.
It was just a Phantom of the library.
He opened his eyes.
The boy arrived at Godric Valley.
Godric Valley made of paper.
He walked through the gentle hillside.
The spines of the books under his feet were solid and thick. The titles and publishers of the books were clearly visible. The wildflowers by the side of the road spat out prepositions, conjunctions, and adjectives.
The fences were rolled newspapers, and the pond was floating with mean magazines. He walked through the floor tiles paved with fairy tales and stepped on the steps made of love stories.
He arrived at Potter's old house, which was built from a knight novel.
He pushed open the door and saw an eleven or twelve-year-old girl standing opposite him. She had black eyes, black hair, and a black dress. She was holding a thick black dictionary in her arms.
It was Jia Mei in her teenage years.
Jia Mei said, "Welcome to the mythical system of the Babel library.
I am the current administrator, Jia Mei.
Now, newcomer, please tell me your name. "
Harry: "…?" This was a strong RPG game style.
He reached out and waved his hand in front of Jia Mei. The girl didn't even blink. It seemed that she was really an NPC. Harry hesitated and said his name. "Harry Potter?"
Jia Mei's expression did not change as she said, "The name you entered is' Douchebag '. Are you sure?"
W — hat? Harry shook his head. "No! No! "
Jia Mei nodded. "Okay, Douchebag. Next, you will have four professions to choose from: Stupid Knight, Stupid Mage, Stupid Thief, and Stupid Jew."
"Hey, hey, I said I'm not an idiot! Also, can Jews be considered a profession?! " Harry had been going crazy for a long time when he suddenly realized that the girl's expressionless face seemed to have a mischievous smile. He couldn't help but calm down and lightly poked Jia Mei. "Uh … Jia Mei?"
Jia Mei smirked. "Long time no see, stupid savior."
"It really is you! Jia Mei … "Harry was excited for a moment, and then he hesitated." Or … Kamia? "
Jia Mei let Harry in and smiled. "So, the fragment outside is called Kamia?"
Harry was surprised. "You haven't seen her?"
The furniture in the living room was all piled up with books, and there were densely packed letters everywhere. Fortunately, Harry's phobia was not strong. Jia Mei sat down on the sofa opposite Harry and then pushed a cup of tea to him. Harry looked down and saw that the cup was full of ink. He could only put it down with a bitter smile. "I thought she deliberately didn't tell me the secret of the key, but now it seems that she has lost the right to enter the library, right?"
Jia Mei nodded gently and drank her cup of ink without changing her expression. Then she said, "The former librarian is dead, and the library has chosen a successor. It is you, Harry Potter."
Harry's heart skipped a beat. "So you are not Jia Mei, but a virtual image of the library, like … a ship girl?"
"… Yes." As Jia Mei spoke, she changed into Harry's appearance, which made the boy quiver. "You should become Jia Mei."
Seeing the 'library' turn back into Jia Mei, Harry's questions about the authenticity of 'Jia Mei' and 'Kamia' were finally settled. "Kamia … Although her appearance and personality have changed, she is still a fragment of Jia Mei … So she is actually Jia Mei, right?"
The 'library' did not care much about this question. "For me, the librarian position is already useless." She got up and opened the window. Harry saw the collapsed mountains in the distance, and the ground that looked like it had been burned. Some of the toy houses were falling apart, and black ashes like snow were wantonly fluttering in the air.
"Useless …" Harry murmured the ominous word, and then he looked up. "For the library, what kind of position is the librarian?"
The 'library' tilted her head and smiled. "Probably … the host computer?"
As if enlightened, Harry immediately understood. "So, the so-called Babel Library is actually just a pile of data, and the librarian … She is the only computer that stores the data in her body?"
"You can say that." The 'library' acknowledged Harry's analogy with reservation. "But it is not the librarian who stores the library in her body, but the library that gave birth to the librarian." Seeing that Harry seemed to understand, the 'library' threw out a question. "Let's put it this way, Harry Potter, you should have heard the story of the Three Pillar Gods. So, which one appeared first? The Void Border, the Chaos Border, or the Babel Library? Which one appeared later? "
Existence, Nothingness, and Time? Harry recalled Kamia's description. "Existence needs to be measured by time, so it is impossible for existence to appear first … But time itself has the characteristics of existence and nothingness, so it should not be the first one to appear … Nothingness? Nothingness is dependent on existence. If nothingness appears first, then there is no need for it to appear at all … "He paused for a moment." Shouldn't they appear at the same time? "
The 'library' smiled. "Yes, they appeared at the same time, but before you said this, they did not exist."
Harry was a little nervous, but he seemed to be about to understand the 'library' point. "Existence, Nothingness, and Time, the Library, the Void Border, and the Chaos Border, the librarian, the Nihon, and the prisoner of time … They are not things in a set of systems, right? Before we defined them, existence, nothingness, and time already existed … Isn't it a little messy to put it this way? "
The 'library' smiled. Harry scratched his hair and tried to explain his understanding. "Although I have been to the library and met Jia Mei, they are just nouns, they are just concepts … The real 'Babel Library' that commands the sum of thousands of stories is not … God, the Babel Library does not refer to existence. The Babel Library points to the sum. It is existence, nothingness, and time …"
"That's right." The voice of the 'library' sounded clear and calm. "The so-called Void Border and Chaos Border actually belong to the Babel Library. They are symbiotic and coexist."
"And Nihon, Jia Mei, and Oulopolos …" Harry broke out in a cold sweat. "They are just nouns used to describe, they … are just definitions used to explain."
Staring at Harry for a while, the 'library' nodded. "That's right."
After grabbing his hair and calming down for a while, Harry raised his head again. "Then why did Nihon suddenly attack the library?"
The 'library' chuckled. "Why don't you ask — why did the prisoner of time commit suicide?"
"Because of loneliness …" Harry blurted out. Then he suddenly felt that it was a little silly, so he stopped and shook his head to show that he knew nothing.
The 'library' was noncommittal. "You are right. The prisoner of time has infinite time, but this also means that he has nothing but time. All stories will come to an end in time, and all emotions will be worn out in time. Therefore, time itself has no end, and time itself means an end … The only way for the prisoner of time to get rid of time is to cut off his own timeline. "
"Infinite time goes to nothingness …"
"Shh!" The 'library' interrupted Harry's muttering. "I didn't say that."
Harry stopped talking and let the 'library' continue. "The prisoner of time's suicide confused Nihon. He saw destruction and end in this death and thought that this should be the end of the Three Pillar Gods. Harry Potter, how many lives have you experienced? How many deaths have you experienced? For any of the Three Pillar Gods, a life is too short. What they see is the birth of the universe and the end of the world. Everything goes to the extreme and to destruction. For them, the Big Bang and the decay of vacuum exist simultaneously … Potter, eternity and infinity make all definitions meaningless. So now you know why the Oulopolos committed suicide, and why Nihon did it? "
"He was not attacking the library …" Harry was stunned. "He was … He was committing suicide?"
The 'library' smiled. "Yes, he was just committing suicide."
"But … But because the Babel Library is actually a sum, he had to kill the librarian to really end all this …" Harry suddenly felt a chill down his spine. "So he must have come to kill me!"
"Yes, yes, what you said makes sense." The 'library' nodded repeatedly. "Who asked it to be so coincidental? You see, when the library collapsed, you happened to be in the pocket world created by Jia Mei. This formed the eye of the storm, allowing the ruins of the library to survive … "
"Okay, stop talking," Harry said with a straight face. "Do you have a time machine?"
"… What are you going to do?"
"Time travel back and meet Nihon."
"And then?" The 'library' showed its beady eyes for the first time.
"For the sake of world peace, I have to tell him the answer about life, the universe, and everything."
The 'library' gave Harry 42 likes and then slapped him with the dictionary. When Harry woke up in the bathtub, he didn't have time to ask what the 'rose of time' was.
