I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror Chapter 599 565: The Vanished History

The Disappearing Books Haven't Disappeared?

Jiang Xiao and the others looked at each other.

What kind of statent is that?

Isn't it just as hard to understand as if a person claims to be hungry after a full al?

"No, listen to , those books didn't vanish into thin air, they just..."

The old man swallowed and said with bright eyes.

"They simply aged away and disappeared."

Aged away and disappeared?

The elder pointed to so inconspicuous gray dust on the table.

"This is what's left of those disappearing books!"

"Uh..."

Jiang Xiao took so of the powder with his hand, sniffed it, and realized there was no smoke sll; it certainly wasn't ash.

Wang Dayong casually picked up a book, flipped through it, and asked in confusion.

"Even so, that doesn't make sense. How could perfectly fine books age? Weren't these books all delivered together? Why do the other books look fine?"

"That's the terrifying truth we just discovered...."

The old man's forehead started to sweat and it dripped nonstop.

The elder wiped the sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling slightly as he continued.

"These aging books, without exception, involve content related to 'gods' and 'history.'

"We compared and found that as long as the books involve such content, no matter how well preserved, they rapidly age into ashes in a short ti."

Jiang Xiao's frown deepened, sensing a hidden secret behind this.

Gods again?

But haven't the gods already sent down a plague?

Alright.

Even if the gods decided to destroy books about "gods," Jiang Xiao could understand.

But why would the gods target history books?

Is their brain flooded with pelvic fluid?

"You an there's so force intervening in our understanding of history?"

The elder nodded, fear flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, it's as if there's an invisible hand preventing people in our world from tracing history backward."

Wang Dayong's expression also grew serious after hearing this.

"Does that an the history we know might just be the tip of the iceberg, with true history deliberately hidden by so force?"

The elder sighed heavily and nodded.

"However, not all history has disappeared. So books can still be read, but the text is sowhat blurred."

Jiang Xiao casually pulled out a history book from the shelf, and as he opened it, he frowned.

The characters on the pages were indeed blurry as the elder described, as if covered by the dust of ti or deliberately erased by so force.

He tried to decipher the characters but found it wasn't easy.

Every word seed hastily written, devoid of detail, much like ancient landscape paintings sketched with broad strokes, leaving only vague outlines.

Yet undeniably, these books were published with properly formatted printed text.

But the most puzzling thing is.

This is a history book?

It's so brief!

Many things are glossed over in a single stroke. How should I put it? This doesn't seem like a history book; it's more like condensing an entire historical period into a single sentence.

Jiang Fan randomly pointed to a segnt of dynastic history, questioning the historians.

"Look here, the history of the Da Fang dynasty, all described with 'such-and-such battle, one side won,' 'great famine, countless dead,' is this all the description?"

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but read a sentence from the book sarcastically.

He couldn't believe his eyes; such description could hardly be called history.

Wang Dayong walked over, looked at the page, and was equally shocked.

"How is this possible? Where are the rich details of history? These books seem to be deliberately hiding sothing."

What about the historical scholars and generals?

So emperors' nas are even unknown and can only be referred to as "emperor" or by their reign na.

"This is too absurd..."

Even Niu Jieshi shook his head repeatedly, indicating that this history was simply too ludicrous.

Their history is monotonous and dull, with no appeal at all.

"Where are the Tang and Song poems? Uh, I an, shouldn't there be so poems passed down from ancient tis here?"

"Yes, there are."

There are indeed so, but these poems are incomplete, either missing lines or words, so they have to be completed by educated guesses from future generations.

Their history is chaotic...

But technological advancent far exceeds the level of Blue Star.

Since a fragnted history didn't stop scientific progress.

These historians were also baffled.

They never considered that their history might be incomplete.

But when Jiang Xiao ntioned Tang Zong, Song Zu, the loyalty of Yue Fei, the Overlord of Western Chu, the Killing God Bai Qi, Hua Mulan who stood firm against n, and Huo Qubing who conquered the northern nomads.

They realized how rich and colorful history truly was.

Even though Jiang Xiao's storytelling was lackluster, it did not diminish their admiration for Yue Fei, Hua Mulan, and others.

"What about our history then?"

Wang Dayong said in disbelief, you ask , we damn want to ask you!

"Right, then what about your history? The gods only appeared recently; has your history always been like this?"

Yes.

The historians bowed their heads in sha, for such was indeed their history.

Simple to the extre, utterly lacking in any readability or appeal.

"Logically, as long as those emperors weren't idiots, they'd know to write so historical records to glorify themselves, right?"

That's human nature.

It's like posting on social dia after buying a rcedes-Maybach.

It's like showing off when your girlfriend gifts you a 4090 graphics card.

You're an emperor!

You could be recorded in history!

Wouldn't you have soone docunt your achievents?

"You an, soone later destroyed the records of previous emperors?"

"Impossible!"

Jiang Xiao asserted, besides official histories, there are also unofficial accounts!

It's not just about destroying a few books; it's about covering an entire historical period in dust.

Even an emperor couldn't completely erase the stories of a previous dynasty.

Moreover, even if the later dynasty held grudges against the forr and truly erased everything,

There would still be transitions of power within the dynasty, right?

It's unlikely that a son would defy the world by slandering his father and erasing all his father's deeds, right?

And what about those gallant generals and poets?

Why would their stories be covered up?

So everything about them should have been buried by that so-called "god."

Jiang Xiao explained everything articulately, as the expressions on the historians' faces also grew darker.

Indeed..

Jiang Xiao made a lot of sense.

But they had wasted most of their lives studying history without discovering this.

Of course, because history had always been this way, their teachers had taught them so from the start.

It's as if one day soone discovered mistakes in the theory of relativity and quantum chanics, successfully proving it.

But until then, no one would think there's anything wrong with the knowledge they learned.
