It could be said that the north wing team's ambush had failed miserably and come home shorn.
After losing one of their team members for no apparent reason, the morale of the north wing members dropped significantly. After all, it wasn't easy to kill a posthuman with a few lives. How powerful must the attack be to deplete a posthuman's life in one go?
When Reno fought with Lin Sanjiu and the others again, he became sloppy and absent-minded. He took the risk of getting a cut on his back and created an opportunity for his sister. Rena's life finally increased by one, becoming 4.
With that, the man with the top hat had lost one member and two lives.
The man with the top hat was worried that someone would try to take advantage of the situation. At the same time, he was afraid that his team members would continue to be injured. After a few counterattacks, he took the opportunity to escape back to the north wing. Lin Sanjiu stopped the siblings from chasing after him. She watched them leave coldly.
"Don't forget, there might be other teams outside," Lin Sanjiu reminded the two kids and pointed her chin in the direction of Siri's work desk. "We are outnumbered. Don't expose our backs to them like idiots."
Siri's work desk was located in a spacious area in the central hall. No matter which wing they were in, they could see the work desk if they lowered their heads. His teammates didn't even think of going to that place to collect his body.
When Rena heard that, she immediately peeked through the gaps between the bookshelves. Even though she didn't see anything, it didn't stop the young lady from showing a nervous expression.
"From the looks of it, we can't go out from the bookshelves for the time being —" Before Rena could finish her sentence, she was suddenly interrupted by a loud female voice. An unfamiliar female voice instantly echoed in the hall, "My friends in the central hall, are you injured? Don't worry, we, the people from the south wing, hate to see people killing each other. We just helped you a little just now. Don't take it to heart. "
The three of them looked at each other in dismay. They didn't know what to say.
Hate to see people killing each other? Obviously, it was an excuse that even the speaker didn't believe. That corpse was the evidence of "killing each other", and it was still lying on the ground. But why did the people from the south wing suddenly help them?
What was even more strange was that when they fought against the north wing team. The people from the south wing did not come out to help. When the battle reached its climax and casualties started to appear, the people from the south wing suddenly attacked at lightning speed and killed one person.
"I don't think they want to help us," Lin Sanjiu said calmly, "They just want to use this opportunity to wear down the north wing team. It seems like the south wing team arrived here earlier than the north wing team because they know that there are six of them. I'm also on guard. "
This was not hard to figure out. The siblings immediately understood what Lin Sanjiu meant and nodded their heads.
"What should we do now?" Rena asked.
Lin Sanjiu paused for a moment. Suddenly, the corners of her lips curled upward. Before the two children could say anything, she suddenly raised her voice and responded. Her voice was cold and clear. No one would have thought that the voice came from a skinless person. "Thank you for your help, but we could handle it just now. Let me give you a word of advice. We are not afraid of using brute force … We have already killed two people from that team. "
The siblings were stunned for a moment and thought about it carefully. They thought about it for a moment before they realized what Lin Sanjiu meant. Strangely, when the people from the north wing heard what she said, there was silence. It was as if the man with the top hat had tacitly agreed that there were only three people left on their team.
Lin Sanjiu wasn't trying to help the north wing team. She just wanted to stir up some trouble.
The woman who spoke didn't seem to expect that the other party would respond to her in such a manner. Very soon, the people from the south wing fell silent.
The library fell into an awkward silence. After a few seconds, a man with a gentle and pleasant voice suddenly laughed. In the dead silence, it was as if he was laughing right next to their ears.
"Alright, since you guys are not fighting anymore, we are going to ask Miss Siri a question," Silvan's cheerful voice came from the second floor of the east wing. "You guys don't mind, right? After all, we are the last to arrive. We haven't even read the rules yet, but Miss Siri has already caught up to us. "
The library was silent. No one responded to him.
Silvan whistled and said, "Then, I'll take it as a yes." After saying "Then I'll take it as a yes", a low voice came from the direction of the east wing. As a result of the voice, the flaxen-haired woman ran down the stairs with a thud.
"Why isn't he coming down?" Just as Rena furrowed her brows, she heard a sharp whistle that cut through the air. Then, like a bolt of lightning, it shot out from the west wing and headed straight for the flaxen-haired woman. However, the woman only turned around to look at it in fear. She didn't move her body. The next second, everyone understood what was going on.
"Be careful, Peachy." Silvan's gentle voice was like a spring breeze caressing everyone's ears. That small lightning bolt attack was shattered by a sharp arrow that shot out from the east wing. Although it was a sharp arrow, they only saw it clearly after the attack because they had never seen such a swift and violent arrow before. The sound of the arrow tearing through the air and the Special Item was so loud that it made their brains go numb.
"You guys can fight after you finish searching your own wings. You don't have to attack Peach now," Silvan's gentle voice was like a spring breeze caressing everyone's ears.
It was that natural and intimate tone again. If Lin Sanjiu had not interacted with him before, she would have thought that Peach was someone related to him.
The west wing seemed to be stunned by Silvan's attack. Nothing happened until the woman called Peach ran back to the east wing.
The situation seemed to have returned to 30 minutes ago. Lin Sanjiu, Rena, and Rena were on high alert as they searched the bookshelves.
Unlike the previous time, this time, whenever they saw a book title that might be powerful, they would pull it out and pile it on the floor.
"Hey, do you think the other teams have realized that these are all Special Items?" Rena asked softly as she pointed at the books on the bookshelves. Just when he was about to speak, Lin Sanjiu, who was standing not far away, said, "At most, only us and the people from the north wing have discovered it … However, we can't keep this a secret. They will find out sooner or later."
"I'm curious. Why do the two wings on the same side seem to be at odds with each other? Could it be that the east wing and the north wing are connected? Is that why they want to seize every opportunity to attack each other? "Lin Sanjiu muttered as she analyzed the situation.
"This is very possible."
Just as the siblings thought of this, they suddenly heard Siri's calm and emotionless voice through the speakers in Kisaragi Library. "Progress: One book has been found." (To be continued.)
