Chapter 1367 The Secret of the Library



"It's so mysterious, it's actually a pile of broken books!" Han Xiaodong stood on the fourth floor like a large library, his teeth itching with hatred.

He never imagined that he had worked so hard to sneak in, thinking that he could find some clues, but in the end he had such a big oolong.

"Since we're here, let's look for it, what if there are any unexpected gains?" K didn't seem to care at all, as if he wasn't too surprised by the result.

But he still reminded very carefully: "Be careful, this library is not ordinary, there are many alarm traps, you'd better be careful."

Han Xiaodong sighed, he didn't care if the alarm was not alarmed, after all, with K around, he couldn't be made to yell at the alarm.

But with such a large pile of bookshelves, even if something is really hidden, it may not be so easy to find it, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

What's more, these books don't seem to hide any secrets, and it's a waste of time to really look for them.

And what K said is not unreasonable, they have come here, so it's not good to just pat their ass and go back, if that's the case, let's take a look.

Walking along the bookshelf, Han Xiaodong began to roughly browse the books on the bookshelf, because he couldn't use a low-light mirror, he could only recognize the names of these books with his own eyes.

Even though his eyesight is excellent, it is still quite a struggle to see the title of the book clearly in such a dark environment.

Fortunately, K's reaction is much more sensitive than his, and he will perform secondary processing on the images he sees, saving him a lot of effort.

The books on the bookshelf are neatly arranged, and there is not much dust on them, so it can be seen that someone still does the cleaning.It's just that these bibliographies seem very boring, most of them are books on philosophy and science, and some are even very partial out-of-print fragments.

The classification of these books also makes Han Xiaodong feel very strange. They are not classified by category or country according to the ordinary book management method, but they seem to be arranged in such a random way. A philosophy may be followed by a medicine. The authors of the two books will be in two countries thousands of miles apart.

Such a chaotic arrangement made Han Xiaodong stunned for a while, so he could only walk slowly, trying not to miss the important things.

"The owner of these books must be a guy with no rules. Even if it is a private library, you can't arrange it however you want? It would take a lot of effort to get a book."

Han Xiaodong dodged an alarm, and couldn't help complaining silently in his heart.

"I'm the opposite of your opinion. The owner of this library is not only very organized, but also extremely knowledgeable. If he wants to find a book, I'm afraid he can find it faster than anyone else." K proposed that he was different from Han Xiaodong. In my opinion, it seems that I have found the law between these books.

"Oh? If you want to say that, let's make a bet. For example, I want to find a copy of Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations". Tell me where it is?"

Han Xiaodong's tone was not very convinced. Although he knew that K must have discovered something, from his point of view, these books were arranged randomly.

"Go forward, turn left, the second column of the fourth row of bookshelves, the middle part." K reported a coordinate without even thinking about it.

Out of curiosity for verification, Han Xiaodong walked quickly towards the place K said, and sure enough, he found a yellowed English version of "The Wealth of Nations" in the second column of the bookshelf.

"How is this possible? How did you do it? Did he mark the book?" Han Xiaodong took the "Wealth of Nations" out of the shelf in disbelief, turned it over and read it several times , did not find any so-called marks.

"These books are arranged according to the year of publication. They are precious because they are all first editions. Those who organize these books have spent a lot of effort." K explained the mystery, but Han Xiaodong listened to it. Got a cold sweat.

He knows that in this world, there is a kind of lover who specializes in collecting all kinds of books, and, for some books, the printing price of the first edition will be very high, and it is not surprising that it even exceeds the price by tens of thousands of times.

As for some out-of-print books, not to mention the first edition, you can get a shocking price for any edition you want. In this way, this library can really be described as priceless.

Looking around the room where the paper is more expensive than gold, Han Xiaodong's heart thumped. To be able to play with books to this level, the owner of this room must not be an ordinary lover.

"Can you tell me where the first edition of Jin Ping Mei is?" After the shock, Han Xiaodong calmed down, and suddenly laughed out loud, making a request that made K furious.

"Get out!" K roared, making Han Xiaodong shrink back in fright.

Soon, he immediately said: "The books in this library are all classics related to technology and philosophy.

Literary works and artistic works are not included, this is definitely deliberate, if you look for it, I think there must be something hidden here. "

Hope failed, K put forward his own suggestion, Han Xiaodong had no choice but to continue to walk forward and look, after another four or five rows of bookshelves, he was suddenly stopped by K:
"Wait a minute, the fourth row is next to the General History of China, take it down."

Han Xiaodong took the book down. It was a strange book. It was a thin volume, and it looked like it was only about twenty pages. There was no name on the spine of the book. Only on the cover of the book were written a few big characters with a brush: On pi The infinity of the universe and the marginal relationship of the universe.

"Damn! What kind of heresy is this? There is a thready relationship between pi and the edge of the universe?!" Han Xiaodong only glanced at it, and connected this book with the pseudoscience that opened his mind.

But K still told him to open the book and read it first.

Seeing the content inside, Han Xiaodong was even more devastated, because it was basically full of gibberish words and formulas that he couldn't understand at all, which made him feel dizzy for a while.

"No wonder there isn't even a decent cover. It's no wonder that this kind of book can sell!" Han Xiaodong said angrily looking at the "nonsense" in the book.

"You are really right. This book has never been sold at all, or in other words, this book has never been published at all. I can't find it from my human book publishing database."

K affirmed Han Xiaodong's complaints, and then changed the subject: "This is not a publication at all, but some kind of internally circulated academic report, and I can tell you with certainty that the author of this book must have been to point."
