"Chris's evil spirits initially could only harm ordinary people, but now they can even harm slightly stronger NPCs."
"The Librarian's strength isn't really that strong. An S-rank power talent would be enough to deal with him."
"But he sure can run…"
Amidst the audience's comnts in the live chat, Chris entered the chaotic space of Section B.
He casually picked up a book, flipped through it briefly, and then lost interest.
"It's all just headache-inducing text. Without that broken dictionary, I can't understand any of it."
Chris, lacking Gu Yi's powerful ntal strength, couldn't smoothly decipher the text, even with a dictionary.
He took out a map and, without any item guidance, successfully found the tallest bookshelf.
Chris climbed to the top of the bookshelf using his hands and feet, glanced at the handwritten note, tore it to shreds, and threw it away, then took the hidden copper key.
"Alright!"
Chris jumped down from the bookshelf and successfully found the hidden door in Section B. He inserted the key into the lock but suddenly felt a chill.
An inexplicable fear prevented him from turning the key.
"Gulp—"
Chris swallowed hard and closed his eyes to activate his spirit vision.
The tall stone door in front of him was emitting a blood-red glow. He scread and quickly dropped the key.
—Red, represents a danger that could easily kill him.
"Damn it, so much red? I'm outta here!"
Chris ran as fast as he could.
The audience was puzzled, with "?" filling the screen.
"Leader, why did that kid run?"
"It must be his inspiration alerting him," Qu Kangping said. "There seems to be sothing formidable behind that door."
...
"Zzzz—"
The Librarian was leaning against the wall, snoring loudly, with the half-empty bottle of wine at his feet.
"He's really unskilled but a fun-loving person, getting drunk after just a few sips."
Gu Yi squatted beside the Librarian, took the key to the gate of Section B from his embrace, and confidently walked into Section B.
With the help of his lighter, Gu Yi quickly found the tallest bookshelf. Climbing to the top, he found the handwritten note and the copper key hidden in the secret compartnt.
Gu Yi jumped down from the bookshelf, rolled on the ground three tis, and then looked up to find himself in front of the massive stone door.
Click—
The key was inserted into the lock and gently turned.
As the lock opened, Gu Yi barely touched the stone door, and it automatically opened to both sides.
Blinding white light made it impossible for Gu Yi to keep his eyes open.
"Ugh—"
Gu Yi shielded his eyes with his hands, and his mind was flooded with chaotic murmurs. He quickly used a psychological suggestion on himself and, relying on his firm will, resisted the wave of ntal attacks.
Nurous black ghostly hands flew towards Gu Yi. His eyes were red, and he bit his lip forcefully to maintain consciousness.
"Get away!"
Gu Yi kept retreating, but the stone door in front of him automatically flew towards him, sucking him into the endless white light.
Light and darkness alternated rapidly, and the black hands instantly coiled around Gu Yi's entire body.
The black hands fed on Gu Yi's ntal strength, rapidly depleting half of it in just a short ti.
Snap!
Gu Yi lit his lighter.
Behind the stone door was another chaotic space. He quickly found a path with the fewest black hands and ran desperately through it.
He kept rolling on the ground, shaking off the ghostly hands clinging to him. By the ti he finally reached his destination, his clothes were torn and tattered, and his ntal strength was drained to a re single digit.
"Get away!"
Gu Yi plucked the last black hand from his shoulder, threw it to the ground, and crushed it flat.
"Roar—"
From the darkness behind him, nurous terrifying roars echoed.
Although there was light in front of him, Gu Yi couldn't make out the path ahead.
The lighter flickered weakly until it suddenly went out.
Suddenly engulfed in darkness, a shrill whistling sound assaulted Gu Yi's ears. Instinctively, he ran frantically back the way he had co.
Boom!
A huge bookshelf abruptly fell behind Gu Yi, and once again, the light returned.
Gu Yi ran around the bookshelf for about ten minutes. Each book on the shelf weighed around twenty kilograms, and it took him considerable effort to pull out just one book to examine.
The book was completely blank, with nothing on it.
"Strange..."
Gu Yi wanted to sit and recover so of his ntal strength, but he heard the black ghostly hands outside starting to stir again.
He had no ti to waste; he had to discover the secret of this bookshelf.
Gu Yi closed his eyes to think. During his frantic run around the bookshelf, he rembered there were three spots where books were missing, and those obvious gaps were clearly the key to solving the puzzle.
His success in reaching this place relied entirely on the guidance of handwritten notes. Every ti he found a crucial clue, he would also find a handwritten note.
Gu Yi made a bold assumption.
The Morticians represented resistance, freedom, and emotionality, while the school represented surrender, death, and rationality.
Clearly, this forbidden area was also under the scope of influence of the Morticians.
"So... out of these four notes, only three should be placed in those gaps."
The first note was the most special, hidden in a pen case, and the easiest to find. The remaining three required so effort to obtain.
So, he should place those three notes in the gaps.
"But what should be the order of placent? Right, it must be in alphabetical order!"
Gu Yi had an epiphany.
This was a library, after all, where books are traditionally organized in alphabetical order.
Gu Yi quickly took out the three notes and placed them in the gaps in alphabetical order.
After placing the first note, it imdiately emitted a golden light and transford into a thick book, confirming that Gu Yi's reasoning was correct.
The black hands around him started to stir again.
They finally located Gu Yi and surged towards him.
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Gu Yi's forehead as he placed the last handwritten note into the gap.
"It's over!"
Gu Yi shouted excitedly.
Ti and space around him seed to freeze, and the black hands that were howling towards him instantly vanished.
Rumble!
The bookshelf beneath him began to shake violently. Gu Yi quickly ran to the edge to escape, and the bookshelf stood up on its own. He shouted in surprise, sliding down the inclined bookshelf to the ground like a slide.
"Damn... my butt is almost worn flat."
Gu Yi rubbed his sore bottom, then turned to look at the massive bookshelf.
Gradually, he noticed sothing unusual. As he stepped back, he observed the huge bookshelf in front of him.
It turned out that all the spines of the books on the shelf when connected together, ford a gigantic pattern that looked like so kind of mysterious magic circle. At the very bottom of the bookshelf was a string of an alien language text.
[Continue forward, brave adventurer.]
Gu Yi glanced down and noticed that a small door, just tall enough for a person, had appeared at the bottom of the bookshelf.
