Chapter 16 Start Work, or Die

The hall was ready to start work - Minnie and others formed a team of two, standing in four groups by four huge desks, with books waiting to be translated next to them.

Among them, the books on the fourth table were stacked with the highest stack, which was obviously the fifth library group where Li Yue was. Yesterday, the work time in the Killing Cup was not completed, and the fifth library group did not complete the established workload.

Minnie, who gave Li Yue hard meat pieces last night, was also at the table, winking at Li Yue from afar, happily.

In front of the hall stood a book that looked like a pillar, about as high as a half-demon wolf Fendis, like a priest who was waiting for the believers to sit in a church. His spine was straight and his huge pages were opened.

Reading memory, Li Yue knew that this was the book demon - the administrator of the library.

"Stop your wandering and go to where you should be." The book demon said concisely, and a line of words suddenly appeared on the blank pages of the open book.

The three groups of brain spirits floated to the desk according to their positions yesterday, but the newly born brain spirit in the first library was still floating quietly.

Li Yue naturally followed the rhythm of the people, floating at the end of the team.

"The brain spirit of the fifth library... went to participate in the Killing Cup yesterday... and destroyed it all..." A question mark suddenly fell on the huge piece of paper of the book demon, which made Li Yue a little nervous.

Immediately afterwards, the book demon suddenly stoked the pages, like a giant eagle flapping its wings, landing in front of the new brain spirits.

The pages of the book brushed past fifteen brains, like the wind patting the face; but the left page remains unchanged, and the ellipsis gradually lengthened.

“…”

【Analysis…13%…】

Li Yue quickly analyzed the book demon.

"It's indeed different..." Before the analysis was completed, the book demon slapped the mind in the face and the pages stopped.

Li Yuesong breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this was the change brought to him by the Supreme Magic Stone.

"Waiting..." The page on the left of the book demon began to turn, and finally frozen in more than a dozen pages before, revealing an old "brain spirit translation code" written long ago.

The code of conduct writes the work content in Li Yue's memory, but Li Yue hurriedly passed it with thoughts like other brain spirits, and implied that the code of conduct has not even written out the danger of "translation". Obviously, the book demons don't care about the life and death of the brain spirits at all.

"Start work, or die." The last line of the code threatened bluntly, and the new brains trembled slightly, and finally went to the fourth table quietly, and chose to start working as if it had been hundreds of years.

"Here..." Minnie, who was familiar with Li Yue, was about to reach out, but fortunately Li Yue sent a message to stop him in time.

"Don't let them know that we know each other." After finally lied to the Book Demon, Li Yue didn't want to be forced to flee again.

"Oh, don't visit during working hours, right?" Minnie muttered - this is a small game between Li Yue's original body and this pair of Minnie, and it is also one of the sources of intimacy that brings Li Yue.

Li Yue's originality and this pair of Minnie have been working with more than three years. During this period, they translated a book "Analysis of the Current Situation of Female Textile Workers in Keos" and thought it was a kind of drama at first, but then quickly found some resonance in it, so they started to act according to their own brief understanding...

In the script of the Three Monsters, Li Yue plays the lazy female worker in a case, and Minnie plays the elderly parents of the textile female worker. The textile female worker works during the day and works 18 hours. The elderly parents wander around the streets to pick up garbage and add meals to their daughter at night, reflecting the love of family love under the great industry.

One of the sections mentioned that female textile workers do not accept visits during work.

"Yes..." Li Yue replied helplessly.

"Then won't we talk?" Minnie was depressed, her extended arms and fingers hanging weakly on the pile of books.

"Or...we can be a textile female worker together...this is more suitable for our current situation." Li Yue did not intend to give up asking Minimine for more information during the day.

"Then... can we still be your dad? Can we still call you dear baby..." Minnie's face also stretched.

Li Yue was even more helpless, but she didn't plan to pick up such a pair of big babies as her parents: "You can be my younger brothers and sisters, it's normal for brothers and sisters to work together."

"Hehehe, let's play new!" Minimine quickly unified, and her little hands regained their vitality.

While the three of them were communicating, a group of helpless people came into the entrance of the library hall, a group of helpless people - slave scholars.

They held their dirty cloaks and stepped on zombie-like steps, and walked to their respective tables with the jingling of shackles; they sorted out the paper, picked up the quill pen and dipped it in ink, and looked at the minds in front of them.

Swish swish swish swish...

Gradually, the sound of writing began to sound, but Li Yue's head was filled with the empty eyes of the slave scholar - the 72-year-old man who partnered with Li Yue, had bruises on his face at this moment, and his gray hair was sparse, as if he was about to exhaust his life in his work day and night.

Li Yue didn't know his name, but the Demon Picture Book did not pop up "analysis", so he assumed that he was just one of ordinary humans.

[Current object...Status: Exciting]

After seeing the scholar's status, Li Yue was quite puzzled - what was this person excited? No matter how he looked, he was almost dead... Did he fall in love with work?

"Why didn't I feel your thoughts? Why are you still standing there?" As the most senior slave, the old scholar had no good expression on his mind and directly questioned Li Yue.

At the same time, Minnie didn't say much, stretched out her arms and spread a half-turned book in front of Li Yue, called "The List of Nobles in 259 Years of Kaili".

Li Yue carefully disguised her brain and could not refuse to work under the current situation. She stumbled into the book and tried to understand every word that was slightly raised.

Although he has no eyes, when Li Yue puts his thoughts on the book, he can vaguely feel the emotions and breath of the author when he writes the title of the book.

No matter how old the age is and how special the author's identity is, this thought will be retained in the book, revealing some information about the book... and then helping Li Yue understand every meaning between the lines.

Take the "Catalogue of Nobles in the 259th Year of the Kaili calendar" as an example. This book compiles the introduction, family precepts, epics and famous family figures of the famous aristocrats on the mainland during the 259th year of the human calendar.

The author of this book was very proud when he wrote this book. Li Yue guessed that he should be one of the nobles, and joined forces with many nobles to publish this book... to help everyone become famous in history.

"The Kingston family has three brave men. Paladin Lancelot Kingston is the commander. After the 235-year defense battle of Kings of the Tass Empire, he commanded the 237-year-old demon counterattack battle of Kaili, killed 300 demon king soldiers, defended the Heihe Village at the foot of the blind mountain, and achieved outstanding military achievements..."

Li Yue conveyed the aristocratic information recorded in the book to the minds of old scholars by passing on the way of chanting. The old scholar also held the pen and recorded it "swish" and quickly wrote down lines after lines of handwriting.

"Family precepts: Eliminate evils; Family emblem: Lily..." Li Yue passed her thoughts to the old scholar, and at the same time, she involuntarily checked the words he wrote...

But he found out that the family motto and family emblem about the Kingston family... had he actually written it before Li Yue conveyed it to him?

Li Yue was puzzled - Has this person read this book? Or has he experienced that history? You don’t have to read it?

Li Yue knew that it was the 299th year of Kaili, which was half a century away from the history recorded in the aristocratic list... So, with the age of an old scholar, perhaps it is clearer than recorded in the book?

The Demon King City was full of strange things. Li Yue carefully continued to mechanically translate everything recorded in the book and threw it towards the old scholar, but deliberately slowed down half a beat. The old scholar kept filling the half piece of paper under the invisible gaze of his invisible thoughts, as if he was very skilled in this operation.

【Malicious +79】

Malicious intentions against him? Li Yue was shocked.

Li Yue suddenly received a prompt popped up in the Demon Picture Book. After striking his mind, he found that after the old scholar finished writing the half piece of paper, he actually took the time to stab the old skin with a quill pen and stain the pen with blood.

The back of the scholar's hands is densely covered with blood spots, which are displayed in depth and shallowness according to the time when the prick was pierced. The dark one is about to heal, and the fresh one is just now - the one that just pierced was next to a small scab, spreading flat to the base of the thumb.

Immediately afterwards, the old scholar dipped the blood hole on the back of his hand, and then hovered the quill over the table until the drop of blood dripped into a gully on the desk, and a hexagram-shaped engraving mark was lit up in the sound of "swish"!
