Now I put my calibre library in DIR-685, and I wonder, can Calibre Companion access my library directly without content server like Calibre Library, so I don't have to turn on my laptop ?
NO

Network filesystems are NOT supported and your Library is at risk if you use one for other than a backup.

Calibre companion interacts with Calibre Content Server, so again,
No.
