"Miss Lisa, I truly am so sorry..."
Timaeus, his face full of regret, gave Lisa a deep bow and once again apologized earnestly:
"This was all my fault. I should never have carried out such dangerous alchemy experints on my own, without Master Albedo in Mondstadt to supervise and guide !"
"It was my arrogance and pride that led to this outco!"
"It was my mistake that damaged the library’s collection. If Miss Lisa wishes to punish in any way, I will accept it without complaint!"
Su Yuan, Aether, Paimon, and Eula all stared blankly at the suddenly appearing Timaeus, who had just rattled off a whole string of words...
Seriously, Timaeus—could your timing be any worse?
You really had to throw yourself straight onto the gun’s muzzle like that???
Everyone then turned their gaze toward Lisa, and sure enough—this "Lisa" now wore a gloomy, twisting expression, her form beginning to emit an eerie aura...
Seeing Lisa like this, Timaeus too felt an inexplicable fear, swallowing nervously several tis out of sheer tension...
He thought to himself: he had long heard the rumors—that if you ever damaged one of the library’s treasured books, you would face a terrifying Lisa...
At first, Timaeus had dismissed it as nothing more than an urban legend.
But now... it turned out to be true...
And the aura that this "Lisa" was giving off right now was simply way too terrifying, wasn’t it???
"Timaeus..."
Lisa’s voice rang out coldly as she slowly stepped up to him...
"The borrowing rules of the Knights of Favonius Library are written very clearly..."
"When you take a book out, it must be returned in the sa condition..."
"But now, you’ve reduced this book to such a state. Do you acknowledge your mistake???"
At this mont, Timaeus felt things going more and more wrong.
Panicked, he blurted out: "Miss Lisa, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..."
But Lisa’s icy voice cut through again: "Timaeus... it isn’t that you know you were wrong. It’s that you know you are going to die."
Timaeus: "???"
"I an—wasn’t it just one book that I accidentally ruined? Do I really have to die for this? That thought never even crossed my mind???"
Seeing "Lisa’s" eerie and terrifying appearance at this mont, Timaeus could no longer bear such imnse pressure.
His mind completely collapsed, and he imdiately turned around and bolted!
However, how could "Lisa" possibly allow the Timaeus who had damaged the library’s books to escape?
From "Lisa’s" body suddenly erupted black-and-red lightning infused with eerie power, striking straight toward Timaeus!
No matter how fast a man could run—could he outrun lightning?
In an instant, Timaeus was struck by the black-and-red lightning unleashed by "Lisa," letting out a cry of agony—
"Ahhhhhh!!!!"
The next mont, Timaeus collapsed to the ground, his entire body charred black by the electricity, limbs still twitching uncontrollably...
"Lisa" then slowly walked over to Timaeus, pressing the heel of her high-heeled shoe against his temple.
With a twisted smile on her face, she spoke in a slow, chilling tone:
"Timaeus, why aren’t you running anymore?"
"Didn’t that little shock just now feel all nice and tingly?"
"Those who break the library’s rules must pay the price..."
"And that price... will be your life!!!"
As she said this, "Lisa" suddenly pressed down hard with her foot, driving the slender heel of her high-heel straight into Timaeus’s temple!
With a spray of blood, Timaeus’s body convulsed twice, then went completely still—no breath, utterly dead...
At that mont, the eerie power around Lisa dissipated instantly.
Lisa rubbed her own temples, feeling an unbearable headache.
When she saw the bloody scene before her eyes, she exclaid in shock:
"What on earth is going on? What exactly just happened just now?"
Looking down at the heel of her shoe, still dripping with blood, Lisa’s voice was pained and regretful as she whispered:
"Was it ...? Was it who killed Timaeus...?"
"Lisa, this wasn’t your fault..." Aether spoke up to comfort her.
"The condition for your eerie transformation really is connected to the library’s collection of books..."
"Timaeus was just unlucky—he showed up at the worst possible ti..."
"We haven’t yet figured out a way to deal with such sudden incidents, and he just threw himself into the jaws of it..."
"Lisa, you don’t need to bla yourself. In the fight against the eerie, these things are sotis... inevitable."
"All the fault lies with the Eerie forces, not with you!"
"We don’t have ti to mourn Timaeus. We must imdiately retrieve all those borrowed books to prevent any accidents that could cause even greater casualties!"
Although Timaeus’s death saddened Su Yuan, he still spoke rationally.
He couldn’t help but wonder what kind of expression Ying’er, far away in Liyue, would show when she heard of Timaeus’s death.
Su Yuan hadn’t expected that those two would actually beco a couple...
"According to the original plan, Lisa was supposed to retrieve these books herself..."
Eula also spoke up:
"But in my opinion, we should split up!"
"With the urgency of the situation, any delay will bring more risks. If we act together, strength in numbers, we’ll be able to retrieve all the borrowed books quickly!"
"Mm, Eula makes sense," Su Yuan and Aether agreed.
"Alright," Lisa knew this wasn’t the ti to hesitate or be polite.
She divided the borrowed book registry list into four parts, keeping one herself and handing the remaining three to the others.
"The sooner the better. Every mont we delay brings more danger!" Lisa gave a bitter smile, speaking sowhat self-mockingly.
"To think that soone as lazy as could feel such urgency and drive... If Jean saw this, she’d probably think the sun had risen from the west..."
"Ta-ta-ta! I’ve co to the library to read books!"
Just then, Klee’s cheerful voice rang out from outside the library doors.
Before anyone could react, Klee appeared before them—only to see Timaeus’s charred corpse lying in a pool of blood...
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!"
Klee scread, utterly shocked by the horrific sight.
With tears welling up, frightened, she stamred:
"Lisa Auntie... no, Lisa big sis, what is going on? Why is there... a dead person here?"
But the next mont, sothing even more shocking and terrifying happened for Su Yuan and the others...
Upon hearing Klee’s words, "Lisa’s" expression twisted hideously, and an aura of Eerie power surged from her body...
"You little brat, who are you calling Auntie???"
"I’m clearly... still so young..."
