《642件可写的事》P2
你在一栋令人毛骨悚然的老房子前发现了一把钥匙。
钥匙可以打开什么？将带你去哪儿？
I found a key in front of a horrible old western-style house.
I used the key to open its door. ‘Welcome back.’ said a youth with silver-hair, ‘We’ve waited for a long time, Master.’ he bowed to me, ‘You can call me Shepherd.’
‘Shepherd.’repeated me, ‘A good librarian is a good shepherd. So, what will you do for me, Mr. Shepherd?’
‘Just call me Shepherd. It's just a code name.’ smiled he, ‘Please follow me.’
I walked behind him, going through a café with nobody except a barista, and came into a library. ‘Is they our master?’ asked a girl with gold eyes, ‘Welcome to your own library. I’m 羊飼い.’ Both were sheepmen.‘You can just read here,’ said Hitsujikai, ‘for it’s your own library.’
I went to biography bookshelves and got a book randomly. Some pages were blank, and some pages were vague, and there must be someone tearing something, but there was also something interesting. In the end of the book were a handsome person’s photos,I believe. But there were lots of words on the photos, such as ‘monster’ and ‘madman’.I felt terrible, so I called Shepherd and asked him to burn the book out. He stared at me sadly, saying he was not a good librarian, and then took the book,going away.
Suddenly, everything faded to black. I called Shepherd and Hitsujikai but no one answered. When I can see again, I found myself in a hospital. ‘Are you Miss. Hiyu?’ asked a nurse. ‘Yes.’ said I.
‘Okay.It’s the time for you to leave the hospital now.’ said the nurse.
