"What? How did you know? "Reno and Rena were both shocked. They couldn't help asking.
Lin Sanjiu calmed herself down. She couldn't help peeking through the gap in the bookshelf.
The white smoke from the attack lingered in front of Siri's desk. Through the smoke, Lin Sanjiu could vaguely see a shallow crater on the floor. She looked at the crater and stared at the multimedia section on the other side. She stared at it for a few seconds.
"Because … they came all the way to the central hall just to ask a nonsensical question. It doesn't make any sense … I couldn't help but test my theory," Lin Sanjiu said in a low voice.
From the beginning, Lin Sanjiu had a guess in her mind.
The first two questions she asked were what the South, West, and North branches wanted to ask. From Siri's answers, Lin Sanjiu could tell that there was nothing wrong with her questions. The reason why Lin Sanjiu deliberately lowered her voice so that Siri could answer through the speaker was because she had planned this from the very beginning.
Lin Sanjiu wanted the four wing teams to form a stereotype: "The Skinless Man doesn't have a speaker, so we can't hear her questions. On the other hand, Siri has a speaker, so we can only hear Siri's answers."
Once a stereotype was formed, it would become a blind spot in one's thinking. No one would think about the question "Actually, posthumans speak loudly". Lin Sanjiu learned this trick from Hannie.
Reality proved that the blind spot in other people's thinking was very useful.
Things changed when the woman from the south wing asked Lin Sanjiu to ask if the east wing team only asked that question.
The moment the woman from the south wing finished her sentence, Lin Sanjiu immediately looked at Siri. This time, she did not repeat the question to Siri as everyone expected. Instead, she quickly whispered to Siri, "Did you hear that? Please don't use the speaker. Tell me the answer alone. "
While Lin Sanjiu's nonexistent heart pounded, Siri looked at her expressionlessly. Then, she reached out and pushed the microphone away.
Lin Sanjiu's heart sank.
"No," Siri spoke very softly. She seemed to understand the woman's intention. "The east wing team didn't only ask one question. There was another."
Lin Sanjiu was so excited that her fingers went numb. From the moment the woman from the south wing finished speaking. Only two or three seconds had passed since she gave her answer. From an outsider's perspective, she might have just finished asking the question. He still had some time to "cover up" what he had just done.
When there was a specific answer, the problem could be inferred in reverse. She quickly asked, "The south wing team only wanted me to ask one question, right? Please use the speaker to answer me. "
"That's right. There's only one problem." Siri's voice sounded like a program. Lin Sanjiu's voice rang out clearly from the microphone, causing an uproar in the library. Lin Sanjiu's timing was impeccable. Everyone thought that this was the answer to the woman's question.
"Now, please tell me without the loudspeaker, what's the answer to their second question?" Lin Sanjiu had never spoken so fast before. It was as if her blood vessels were burning with anxiety. This was the main point of her trip!
"I told them that the book 'Dawn Among Flowers' is in section C, shelf 76, row 4, left, shelf 7."
As soon as Siri's words reached Lin Sanjiu's ears, she realized that she had lingered for too long. Before she could say another word to Siri, she turned around and dashed towards the bookshelves in the central hall. Almost at the same time she took her second step, Lin Sanjiu felt a chill run down her spine. Almost at the same time she took her second step, the spot where she was standing had been smashed by a team.
After listening to Lin Sanjiu's explanation, the siblings were a little stunned. They didn't know how Lin Sanjiu came to the conclusion that Silvan had obtained a book.
"You have the beginning and the end. You only need the missing line in the middle. It's easy to think of," Lin Sanjiu gave them a vague hint instead of giving them a direct answer.
The two kids were still very young. It would be a crime if Lin Sanjiu laid all the answers in front of them without them having to think about it.
Rena subconsciously stroked the spine of a book. She repeated softly, "Dawn Among Flowers … Dawn Among Flowers … It's not the target book. Eh, ah — I get it!"
Rena suddenly cried out, her face flushed with excitement. Her face flushed with excitement. At the same time, Reno suddenly jumped up and pushed his sister back, "No, I'll go first!"
The siblings had figured it out at the same time.
"We're in the wrong place!" Reno muttered. Reno muttered, his gaze skipping over the layers of bookshelves. He stared at the multimedia section on the other side. "Siri doesn't know where the target book is, but she knows the position of a random book on the shelf. That means —"
"The target book isn't even on the shelf!" Rena couldn't help blurting out her conclusion.
The teenager felt a little aggrieved and swallowed the rest of his sentence.
"That's right," Lin Sanjiu smiled. Even though her smile was a little scary, the two kids felt as if they had received great encouragement. "Silvan must have come to the same conclusion, so he found a target book in the non-bookshelf section of the east wing … He just doesn't know which book it is."
"That's not all … Did you guys see where the thing that attacked me came from?" Lin Sanjiu asked calmly.
"No … That thing didn't shoot out in a straight line. Instead, it suddenly appeared like a 'burst point' …" Reno said as he tried to recall, "We don't know who did it."
"There's a 70 to 80 percent chance that the person who attacked me was Silvan," Lin Sanjiu said calmly. "The time I spent in front of Siri was two to three seconds longer than the normal time I spent asking questions. With his thinking ability, he probably realized that something was wrong and tried to scare me away before I realized the truth. However, he was still one step too late."
The two kids looked at each other and couldn't help feeling a little speechless.
"Not only is he pretty, he's also very difficult to deal with …" Reno sighed.
"Let's not care about him. He didn't hit him anyway! Let's not waste any more time. We should start looking at the non-bookshelf section, "Rena waved her hand excitedly," Isn't the multimedia section the best target? "
Indeed, there were many non-bookshelf sections in the central hall. There were the main entrance, Siri's work desk, the multimedia section, and the reading area with many tables and chairs. The multimedia section was the closest to the non-bookshelf section. They just had to go through bookshelf 100 to enter it.
However, the multimedia section was right below the second floor of the west wing. (To be continued.)
