CH 38

A ball of light appeared out of thin air in the compartment on the bookshelf.

Yan Jia had already previously checked the compartment thoroughly, so he was sure that was nothing in it that could be used as a source of light, and neither was there anything strange about it.

This ball of light had indeed appeared out of thin air. If Yan Jia were able to clearly see it, he would discover that this ball of light was very similar to the light that was absorbed into his stomach by the Golden Crow on the surface of the star universe.

It did not mean that the colors were very similar, but this light was also white.

However, Yan Jia definitely would not be able to study this scene as he was in a queue, just as instructed.

The light gradually became brighter since its appearance, from soft to dazzling, if anyone could see it now. Unfortunately, the light was completely blocked by the wooden board that Yan Jia had put down, and not a trace of it could be released.

When the light reached a certain degree of brightness, it began to flow and finally turned into a human shape. It was just that the size was a little small.

After that, the light suddenly became brighter and then disappeared in an instant. Yan Jia checked, but he did not find any special changes to the compartments. The wall at the back of the compartment also disappeared along with the light, revealing the bottomless abyss that was blocked by the wall of the ‘library’

In the center of the light, a Dwarf appeared and fell from the center of the light onto a pile of books.

Yan Jia brought in a lot of books, and she would stack them up until there was no more space before starting a second pile, all the way up to the highest point of the compartment. Only the last few books remained and were stacked only up to half the height of the compartment because there weren’t enough of them.

The Dwarf was wearing a female outer garment that was the color of flames. There were no patterns or words on the clothes. Other than the bright color, it was a little plain. The Dwarf looked very simple. Its delicate face was no different from a human girl’s.

Other than its height, there was no book that stood up and was placed high beside it.

However, it seemed like the way Yan Jia placed the book seemed to have caused some trouble for this Dwarf.

The Dwarf stood on half a stack of books, looking up at the book that Yan Jia had placed at the top. It seemed to have some issues with the book. Next, it jumped down from the other half of the books with a determined look on its face.

It stopped in front of the wooden board that separated the room from the outside.

The Dwarf turned around, and the determination on its face turned into a solemn expression. It only bent down slightly when its back was pressed against the wooden board.

It closed its eyes tightly and began to rush towards the book that Yan Jia had placed on the top.

The Dwarf clearly had its eyes tightly shut, but it seemed as if it could still see. Just as it was about to approach the book, it jumped onto the stack of books that was only half the height of the compartment. and continued to run a few more steps.

Then, it bumped into the book behind it.

Bang!

The sound was very loud, but it was still blocked by the wooden board that Yan Jia had placed down. There was no sound, so it did not disturb the people who were reading.

It could be seen that the Dwarf had used a lot of force, and even its delicate little face was slightly deformed from the impact.

The Dwarf stretched out both hands to rub its face. There were still some tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.

However, it seemed like Yan Jia had carefully stacked so many books. Although the entire stack had been moved back a little by the Dwarf, it still did not collapse into the abyss that appeared when the wall disappeared.

The Dwarf opened its eyes and looked at the tall stack in front of it. It seemed to be in despair.

In the end, with tears at the corners of its eyes, it once again walked to the wooden board in despair.

Taking a deep breath, it wiped away the tears that were squeezed out from its tightly-shut eyes.

Once again, the Dwarf charged towards the tall stack of books.

Bang.

The wooden board was still doing its job well, drowning out all sounds.

The Dwarf collapsed onto the books, tears flowing uncontrollably from its eyes. It slid with its face and landed on the book beneath it. Two small patches of water appeared on the cover of the book as the absorption level of the paper increased.

Unfortunately, Yan Jia’s book stack still did not collapse. It was still stuck in the abyss, not showing any signs of collapse.

After crying a few times, the Dwarf got up from the stack. With tears in its eyes, it pushed the books in front of it, but they did not move. It pushed it again, but they still did not move.

The Dwarf smashed its head onto the stack of books in front of it, its face full of despair.

Perhaps this was the last straw because as the Dwarf’s “mallet” hit the stack of books, it began to collapse backward.

Raising its head, its face, which was covered in tears, revealed a look of ecstasy. The Dwarf wiped away the tears on its face twice and watched the stack in front of him with a big smile as it kept collapsing.

Finally, the only stack that remained was that which was at par with the dwarf’s height.

As for the book “Wall,” which was originally stacked to the brim by Yan Jia, it also revealed a gap. Finally, there was a place where the Dwarf could use its strength.

The Dwarf jumped down from the book below and faced the wall that was not even as tall as itself. The book that was still stuck at the entrance of the abyss was kicked down, and the books that were originally on the verge of collapsing finally fell into the abyss. As they fell, they became smaller and smaller until they could no longer be seen.

The Dwarf stood at the entrance of the abyss, grabbed the books that were lined up all the way to the top of the compartment, and began to drag them in the direction of the abyss.

Hualala.

The sound of books collapsing could be heard without end.

Finally, the tall stacks of books were all pulled down by the Dwarf, leaving only the books scattered in the compartments.

The Dwarf stood at the entrance of the abyss, picked up the books beside it, and began to throw them into the abyss behind it, one after another.

Grabbing one book, he casually threw it behind his head.

The number of books that originally filled the compartment decreased with the movement of the Dwarf. Only when the last book was kicked into the abyss by the Dwarf did it all end.

All this time, Yan Jia was still queuing.

The Dwarf looked in Yan Jia’s direction; the wooden boards and walls of the partitions were unable to block its line of sight. It stared at Yan Jia with hatred for a long time.

Yan Jia, who was lining up, seemed to feel a trace of coldness. He turned his head and looked around but did not find anything. After that, he queued up and started to read the book in his hand.

The Dwarf looked at Yan Jia’s actions and only looked away after a while. It jumped up and floated in the air. The Dwarf’s body began to emit light. Just like how the Dwarf appeared, the light on its body became brighter.

Only when the light became so bright that the Dwarf could no longer be seen did it disappear without a trace.

The compartment was in rough shape.
