Capítulo 1234: Chapter 57: Library Infiltration Incident
Library first floor, nearly two thousand sectors.
All the sectors are interconnected by the ‘Knowledge Secret Path’, and only by passing through the Secret Path can visitors enter other sectors.
At this mont, three figures are traversing the dark, Nihility Path.
Ultimately, True Rose won over Bold and Free version Rose Madeline, acquiring ‘Alice Five’ as an assistant. anwhile, Bold version Rose stayed back in the first sector, perhaps fully entering reading mode, preparing for her Ascension to godhood, and accumulating vast knowledge.
Alice Five, having separated from the [Library First Sector Catalog] body, had her external form fixed – a quirky and adorable chanical girl with long grey-green hair, dressed in a luxurious gown and wearing a fancy hat.
Tang Qi walked last, occasionally glancing to either side, and with each step, various Light Gates representing different temptations appeared.
These curses and temptations had no effect on Tang Qi.
Unexpectedly, Alice Five also easily endured them.
As for Rose, she had no trouble at all.
Soon, the trio saw a glow ahead and stepped into it together.
“You have passed through the Secret Path, welco, honest beings in pursuit of knowledge, this is the Second Sector.”
After the familiar voice, Tang Qi and his companions felt their feet land on a real surface.
Before them, stood yet another giant portal.
Classic and solemn in red and black tones, it’s inlaid with shells, stones, wood chips, silk fabrics, and other Abnormality things, while also carved with a multitude of intricate and obscure symbols and lines.
Before the portal sits an old set of tables and chairs, with teacups, a vase, and a typewriter placed on the table.
Upon their arrival, a rhythmic ‘click-clack’ sound began to echo in their ears.
Operating the typewriter was an elderly lady of human species with a superior temperant.
With ‘Lonely Bond’, the procrastinating and not very responsible guide as a counterexample, Tang Qi wasted no ti and cast All-Knowing on the lady.
“Granny Ajani: A rather special [guide], she actually dislikes being disturbed. She finds herself and the imaginations in her mind exceptionally interesting, thus she has no need for companions. She is absorbed in her own World… to have her personally accompany and introduce everything in the Second Sector, visitors must present sufficiently interesting stories.”
“Without them, visitors will only receive a strictly formal map.”
“Swish”
Just as this information flowed through Tang Qi’s mind, an extrely detailed, tidy, and precise large map suddenly appeared before the three.
Granny Ajani, who provided the map, did not even lift her head; she remained lost in her Fantasy stories, and the giant portal behind her began to open of its own accord.
A familiar scene unfolded, and in the next mont, Tang Qi, Rose, and Alice Five gazed upon it.
Bookshelves, enormous ones seemingly without end, were arranged neatly.
Though Granny Ajani was absorbed in herself, she still spared a trivial amount of attention for the three new Visitors.
If they could each tell an interesting story, it wasn’t impossible for her to personally lead; this was her thought.
However, what Granny Ajani saw was a sight she had never imagined:
The mature and intellectually beautiful woman among the three suddenly spoke a curious sentence.
“This World… has more than one Rose Madeline.”
The scene that once occurred in the first sector was happening once again.
In the emptiness before the portal, yet another Rose Madeline slowly transford from a silhouette to a real body.
In total, this was the third.
As soon as she was summoned, she displayed a completely different aura from the previous two. Her face imdiately flushed, and her eyes seed to overflow with crystalline tears, becoming Misty and languid. Though she made no move to drink, a strong scent of alcohol emanated from her body.
“Dear Tang.”
Almost a catchphrase, it was uttered from the mouth of the new Rose, and she stumbled toward Tang Qi, colliding with him.
The soft body reeking of alcohol entered Tang Qi’s embrace, her hands moving unpredictably, hugging Tang Qi tightly in front of another Rose, and continuously exploring.
Her head resting on Tang Qi’s shoulder, she exhaled warm breath, occasionally speaking words that made True Rose involuntarily twitch the corners of her mouth.
“That annoying, nagging little boy seems to have grown up, doesn’t he.”
“Co, hug your big sister back to the estate.”
“You know the way, Madeline Manor, my bed is big, soft, and comfortable. Do you want to experience it… uh uh uh?”
Before this third Rose could say more, True Rose was compelled to step forward and separate the two, covering her own mouth in the process.
Tang Qi, unable to hide his amusent, recognized her.
This third one was evidently the drunk version of Rose Madeline.
Judging by her actions and words, she was even bolder and more free-spirited than the second Rose, with a sense of complete self-release.
To prevent ‘drunken self’ from doing more image-damaging things, Rose directly dragged her toward Granny Ajani, handing the other version of herself to the elder lady, and requested:
“Open the Secret Path, we need to proceed to the Third Sector.”
Granny, handed a beautiful woman, trembled slightly with her ticulously grood silver hair due to the smile suddenly appearing on her face.
She normally required an interesting story to be a responsible guide, but after accepting the third Rose Madeline, there was no trace of anger at being disturbed, and her response quickly followed.
