Chapter 866: Chapter 401: Dream Boundary: The Cycle of Life and Death
“Uh… fine, since you’ve already brought it up, I’ll admit I signed it too.” Lin Yi blurted out, whatever, just bluff through it first.
Does that an Li Huiyuan, Pan Jian, Zhou Yuting, all of them know sothing?
And yet, they’re still laughing and joking?
Wait…
Young Master Tian knows too?
No way, am I the only one left in the dark?!
“Hiss—”
He sucked in a breath, suddenly realizing that his recent mory started at the blue bus. Everything before that was blank. Could it be that the confidentiality agreent was so absurdly strict that it forced amnesia after signing?
But… sothing still feels off. It seems like he’s the only one being kept in the dark.
Feeling a headache coming on, he suddenly realized that the more he knew, the less he actually understood.
The female dormitory manager gently stroked the bookshelf in the Historical Academic Docunts sector and sighed deeply: “‘Historical Academic Docunts’… it’s not because they’re ‘historical’ books, but because they are ‘books of history,’ relics of ‘abandoned history’…”
“You know, ever since then, certain books were discarded. To rapidly adapt to the ‘new era,’ the printing of historical books was dramatically reduced, while foundational professional textbooks spread widely… In the face of survival and death, this kind of spiritual sustenance, along with human geography, beca far less important, especially human geography.”
“Haha… humanity, geography…”
She shook her head with a bitter smile: “Do you know? Back in X999, I was just a kid. I rember wanting to see the polar region, but after the catastrophe, it beca a complete no-go zone…”
“A corner belonging to a legendary outpost appeared in the Arctic Circle, and then the area beca heavily regulated…”
The female dormitory manager sighed again and said no more.
Lin Yi was silent for a mont before asking curiously:
“Then, since you seem to know everything, why apply to co into the campus?”
Lin Yi realized that his desire to explore the Library had diminished slightly. The secrets surrounding this female dormitory manager seed much more intriguing.
He glanced at his watch.
4:33.
If the female dormitory manager didn’t mind his pestering, he didn’t mind chatting with her for a bit.
The female dormitory manager curled her lips: “Didn’t I already explain? It’s all for the money! I needed to apply for Master Matthew’s academic research course on ‘On the Enlightennt of Star Secret Patterns on the Desolate Present World!’ Seriously, is your mory that bad?”
“Uh… but risking your life for thirty thousand yuan doesn’t seem worth it,” Lin Yi murmured under his breath.
“Ugh…” The female dormitory manager cursed under her breath, “No one who cos here actually thinks they’ll die, alright? High skill equals high confidence! Who could’ve guessed this place is way weirder than the rumors! If I’d known, I would’ve definitely asked for a higher payout!”
“Uh… but you said in the elevator that if you’d known, you wouldn’t have co at all…” Lin Yi reminded her.
The female dormitory manager rolled her eyes: “I was just saying that casually. Honestly, in this economic climate, it’s so hard to make money… With an opportunity like this, everyone wants to earn so cash. The experience slots for University S are so competitive; tons of people apply but never get accepted! If I hadn’t asked soone to put in so good words for , I wouldn’t have made it here either!”
Lin Yi suddenly teased mischievously: “So… you used connections to co here and find death? With that kind of pull, isn’t thirty thousand yuan nothing to worry about?”
“Get lost! Want to punch you?!” The female dormitory manager corrected him helplessly, “It’s just that my professional focus aligned well, so I asked a teacher to help with a recomndation. It’s not so shady money-related deal.”
“Alright, alright…” Lin Yi muttered under his breath, “As expected, people are either troubled by love, money, or both. You keep reading, I’ll go check out the area around here.”
“Don’t you dare spy on !” The female dormitory manager said suspiciously.
“Co on, you seriously think I’m stalking you?” Lin Yi replied helplessly.
“For others, maybe I wouldn’t suspect it, but you…” The female dormitory manager glanced Lin Yi up and down, “A shaless pervert like you? I wouldn’t put anything past you.”
“Shaless pervert.”
“Co on, it’s not like I chose this, alright!” Lin Yi didn’t even bother explaining. He waved his hand and headed toward the Dream Studies Sector.
From just the countertop area, you couldn’t tell the volu of books in a sector. After all, the starting point of a sector might only be a couple of rows of bookshelves, but the deeper you go, the more dense the shelves beco.
Lin Yi hadn’t planned to seriously study anything. He was just mildly curious about Dream Studies and figured he’d casually browse.
As soon as he entered the Dream Studies Sector, he felt a faint stirring in his heart, as if a budding desire for exploration was beginning to grow.
“No wonder they say the Library has an atmosphere soaked in the scent of books. As soon as you step in, the urge to read hits you.” Lin Yi smacked his lips in thought.
He scanned the bookshelves, curiously examining volu after volu.
“Dream Secret Realm…”
“Book of Dream Interpretation…”
“Art and Dream Fusion…”
“Dream Divination: The Art of Foreseeing the Future through Dreams…”
“Dream Boundary: The Cyclical Rebirth of Life and Death…”
Every book looked insanely mystical. Just the titles alone made them seem like scam guides. But in this place, such mysterious and… well, esoteric topics seed to dominate the mainstream.
“Why not… grab one and take a look?” The thought quickly sprouted in Lin Yi’s mind.
The Library rules encouraged visitors to browse freely anyway, didn’t they? Surely reading a book wouldn’t hurt?
So, he reached out and took down a book titled “Dream Boundary: The Cyclical Rebirth of Life and Death.” But the mont he pulled the book off the shelf, he suddenly noticed, in the empty space where the book had been, a person abruptly appeared out of nowhere.
