Above the Seven Towers
Chapter 31: Turbulent waves
Libraries have been symbols of civilization since ancient times, because they carry human knowledge, wisdom, experience and problems. For example, ancient miracles such as the Alexandria Library can be said to be the coordinates of the Mediterranean civilization for centuries. And this small and large school library has more significance for people who travel to this world. It is not only the only bond between these earth deserted people and the civilization of their hometown, but also their foundation in this strange world. Selida Nerazer Arias is right, knowledge is power, and the library is the source of power. This fire not only burned intellectual wealth, but also directly burned to the foundation of their survival.
When people enjoy convenient online queries in the modern world and read books on a tablet while lying down, the library seems to be somewhat forgotten, but here, this represents the millennium's civilization advantage, it is the biggest card for everyone Standing on the shoulders of giants.
So although Xiao Chen and Luo Ling were very tired, they still tried their best to run to the door of the library. The small square outside the library was full of people flying, some people brought fire extinguishers from a distance, some People carried water in buckets, some rushed out of the fire holding books, some were screaming for help, and some stood there at a loss, completely ignorant of what to do.
The heat waves in the air are rolling, the tongues of the houses are vomiting, and the atmosphere of tension and panic is spreading among the crowd. Xiao Chen can imagine that if these collections are burned, this disaster will ruin the confidence that everyone has just established.
The fire started from the library on the first floor on the west side of the building. At present, it has just spread to the reading room on the west side of the second floor and the office on the third floor. It has not yet burned into the lobby and the east side of the library.
When Xiao Chen figured out what to do, he met several people who were all blackened and ran out of the library. One of them looked very badly and was carried on his back. He ran and asked : "Student, have you been injured by fire? Does it matter?"
"Mao Kai took us to open the bookshelf and separated a gap to delay the fire, but he was hit by the fallen bookshelf and may hurt his leg," one of them said.
"I saw Dr. Feng over there, you hurry and let her have a look." Xiao Chen gave them directions, and the few men ran towards the doctor with their arms.
"Their efforts may save a few more books, but the whole fire can't be delayed much." Xiao Chen Shen Sheng said, looking at Luo Ling, "Give me those two scrolls."
"You don't know the effect of the scroll, don't go to the doctor in a hurry." Luo Ling disagreed.
"Listen, I can feel that one of the scrolls is filled with the power of water. No one knows the feeling of water better than I have since hitting those storms." Xiao Chen held out his hand, "Trust me."
The two stared at each other for a few seconds. Luo Ling knew that Xiao Chen would not change his mind anymore, so he had to take the scroll from his bag and hand it to Xiao Chen. "Go ... but don't do anything stupid."
Xiao Chen handed over "Living in the Sea" to Luo Ling, grabbed the bucket in the hand of the student carrying the water, poured it down, and rushed into the fire with the scroll.
The fire had not yet reached the lobby on the first floor, but the air was already hot. Many people are busy fighting fires, and Xiao Chen hesitated to stand at the gate to the library. The choking smoke and fierce fire inside obscured all vision, just like the legendary **** gate.
In fact, he has no confidence in his heart. Although he can feel the power of water in the scroll, how does he know what kind of magic it is, let alone what effect it will have when it is activated. He felt like a pupil, holding a small pistol, facing an ancient fierce beast.
The only thing he was certain of was that without a fire truck or water supply from the fire hydrant, with the current means of these people, the only ending of the library was to be burned to white ground tomorrow morning.
This is a gambling game. It is not only life and death, but also an opportunity for the inheritance of civilization. However, when all this is put on Xiao Chen, the weight is heavy.
But at any time in history, some people who need to move forward are needed. Xiao Chen didn't feel this way before, because he was just a beneficiary of martyrs and heroes, but here, he was picked up by him. Therefore, Xiao Chen entered.

When Li Jia rushed to the entrance of the library, he was full of worries and doubts.
Today was a good day for him. When Celinda was leaving, Li Jia was on impulse and gave her an emerald pendant hanging on her neck. The pendant engraved is a Guanyin with good condition and water head. Very good, when Li Jia was one year old, grandpa gave him his birthday present.
Celinda took a chain from her neck and gave it back to him. The chain looked very plain. The pendant was made of white shells and was simply worn with a metal chain. I don't know what kind of shell is, and the surface may be smoothed due to long-term wear. Although the valuable jade pendant was exchanged for this seemingly worthless article, Li Jia was happily wanting to howl, is n’t this just a swap of tokens? It made him feel that all his previous efforts paid off.
When he came back, he dreamed about where he would go with Celinda in the end, but as soon as he walked out of the door of the storage room, he saw the burning library in the distance.
Won't it be so coincident? He couldn't believe it was Celinda's hands and feet. She was so pure and cute, and she didn't have any means to set fire. Li Jia denied it over and over again in her heart, but she couldn't get rid of her figure. At this time, two people came in front of him, carrying a stretcher. The people on the stretcher made Li Jia familiar.
"Mao Kai?" Li Jia ran over, stopped the stretcher, and eagerly pulled the man on the stretcher: "Tell me, what the **** is going on? How did the fire burn?"
The boy in front of the stretcher said angrily: "What kind of nerve do you have! Mao Kai's legs are broken to save the fire, the pain is not enough, we have to rush to the hospital."

Li Jia didn't listen to him at all, and kept asking Mao Kai, who had his eyes closed: "You were inside, the fire started from there? Tell me!"
"The library ... the one we encountered ... the library, the fire suddenly rose, it was fierce, and the other ... I don't know." Mao Kai reluctantly replied with pain.
"Come on, ignore this lunatic." The students behind pushed Li Jia away and hurriedly carried Mao Kai away.
Li Jia walked to the library in a state of loss, and repeatedly recalled the scene where Celinda disappeared. A voice in my heart said: "Selinda could never have done it." Another voice asked: What is impossible? A voice justified: This matter has nothing to do with me. Another voice smiled bitterly: People brought you, how could it have nothing to do with you?
Li Jia thought more and more confused. When he saw Luo Ling staring at the gate seriously, he grabbed her and said with a cry: "Mr. Luo, Mr. Luo, the fire can be stopped."
Luo Ling turned his head to look at him, a little strange Li Jia's expression, and Li Jia under Luo Ling's gaze, his heart was empty, and he took a step back anxiously.
"Xiao Chen hasn't come out yet, I have to go in." She said, handing "The Sea Shadows" to Li Jia, "Take it for me, don't allow it to be watched." Then, she also got water on her body, He rushed into the fire, leaving Li Jia to panic and watch her back engulfed by smoke and dust.
———————————————————————————
Xiao Chen covered his lips and nose with his wet sleeves and ran all the way from the lobby to the third floor. He thought the water was flowing down, so he should release the scroll at the highest point. The smoke was so heavy that his eyes were sore with tears and his throat coughed, but he still bowed his body and touched the burning offices at the end of the walkway.
However, when he walked four or five meters away from the open flame, Xiao Chen felt dizzy and unable to continue. He knew that if he went further, he could not concentrate on releasing the scroll, and he was more likely to suffocate.
He opened the scroll, lifted it flat against his chest, and then put aside his distractions, and put all his energy into it. Although he felt the power of the water in the scroll, he could not understand the meaning of the complicated patterns on the scroll. They asked him to exercise his mental power according to certain rules, and he didn't understand. The lines depicted in layers seemed like shackles to him. Xiao Chen tried to break through these rules, but the spiritual power he controlled was not enough.
Xiao Chen was sweating anxiously, like a very hungry person, sitting at the table, but was told that he had not finished praying and could not eat. He even forgot the heat of his body, but he deeply felt the anxiety from his heart.
Meditation space! Correct! If my own strength is not enough, can I use that uncontrolled strength? He remembered the practice in the illusory sea. The violent power was lawless and boundless. He recalled and realized that the sea was slowly forming and turning in his brain; he endured and accumulated, and the sea became Growing stronger. Until he had a headache and couldn't bear it, a sluice gate was opened, a shackle was cracked, and endless spiritual power, like the sea of water pouring into the scroll in his hand.
The graph in the reel suddenly shattered, and only the part that summoned the water was activated, magnified, and exploded by this domineering spiritual power! If an ordinary magician uses a scroll to light a lamp with oil, Xiao Chen's behavior is like throwing a match into a barrel of oil.
A burst of blue light appeared, the first drop of water appeared in the void, and then the surging water turned the surrounding into a world of water.
Luo Ling saw from behind Xiao Chen that he seemed to have opened a flood gate in his hand, connected to a large river, and a water dragon swept in, and immediately rushed her down to the ground. She quickly retreated to the corner and grabbed the wall. Soon the water flooded. She first heard the door of the office opened, and then the sound of the window breaking through.
The water came too fast, and the speed of the elevator shaft, stairs and windows pouring down the water was simply not as fast as Xiao Chen summoned the water. After about a minute of kung fu, the water overflowed Luo Ling's neck.
"Xiao Chen, enough, stop now." Luo Ling shouted to Xiao Chen, who was still standing in the water, but he cried several times, and the other party didn't respond. Xiao Chen seemed to have fallen into a state of high concentration, deaf to the surroundings, and even water gradually overflowed his nose without even realizing it. Luo Ling wanted to swim to pull him, but the huge momentum of the water made her unable to go up against the current.
Luo Ling gritted her teeth, dived for a while and touched an ashtray in the corner. She struggled to step on the water to reveal an arm, looked at Xiao Chen's back and threw it away.
Just listen to the bang, and then came a screaming and drunk sound ...
———————————————————————————
Li Jia and many others witnessed this miraculous wonder. Suddenly, a strange sound of water came from the burning library. After a while, the water broke through the window and spewed out, first on the third floor, then the water overflowed from the inside and the outer wall to the second and first floors, and finally A huge water wave rushed out of the gate of the library, and many of the people who were fighting the fire were swept out of their heads. The fire was quickly extinguished, but the water continued for a long time. When the library was not pouring water, the water in the small square in front of the door had passed the ankle.
Are you saved?
Li Jia suddenly went crazy like a mad, stepped on the water and rushed into the library. When she ran to the door, she saw Luo Ling help Xiao Chen out.
Li Jia quickly hugged Xiao Chen, "You ... how did you bleed on your head?"
Xiao Chen gave Luo Ling a helpless look, and only got a white eye. She shouted, "Fuck, haven't you seen any work-related injuries?"
