Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell.
Reno roared, "Five seconds left, retreat now!" Lin Sanjiu grabbed the book in her hand and sprinted towards the bookshelves. Siri reported, "Progress: Two books have been found." Suddenly, a loud shout came from the west wing. Then, a fireball exploded behind her...
Lin Sanjiu was bombarded by a large amount of information at the same time, forming a whirlpool.
Her mind went blank. Even her voice was muffled. It was as if she was soaking in water. She could only see the backs of the siblings in front of her and the rows of tall bookshelves not far away.
Suddenly, another loud bang tore through the blankness in Lin Sanjiu's mind and pierced into her consciousness. This time, the attack was different from the previous one. It brushed past her heel and struck the ground, shattering the floor tiles, tables and chairs into pieces. Gritting her teeth, Lin Sanjiu leaped into the aisle between two bookshelves.
The attack stopped immediately.
Lin Sanjiu could hear the siblings' heavy breathing. She looked up and saw that there was a long gash on Reno's arm. His flesh was torn open and half of his body was red with blood. However, the teenager didn't seem to feel any pain. His face was distorted from his injury but his voice was still full of excitement, "You got it?! Which book is it? "
Lin Sanjiu slid down the bookshelf and placed "A Maiden's Sorrows" on the ground. She couldn't help letting out a long sigh.
When the two children's eyes fell on the cover of the book, they immediately let out a trembling "Ah!" from their throats — it was really not easy to get this book!
However, it wasn't the time to relax yet.
After resting for five to six seconds, Lin Sanjiu was the first to jump up.
"The last attack brushed past my heel …" Lin Sanjiu looked down at the two kids, "The west wing is directly behind me. Their attack wouldn't have come from this angle. Did you see which direction it came from? "
Hearing that, Rena, who was looking for some medical books for her brother, stopped as she tried to recall what happened. She held a book in her hand and said hesitantly, "It was too tense and chaotic. I didn't notice … But judging from the angle of the attack, it's either the east wing or the south wing, right? "
The east wing and south wing were quite far away from the multimedia study area. The north wing was separated from the multimedia study area by a large bookshelf, so it could be eliminated first.
"It's the South Wing," Reno said as he panted heavily. She took a few books from her sister. They were all titles like "First Aid for External Injuries" and "Rehabilitation and Treatment". "Thanks to the South Wing, I got injured. It seems like the people from the West Wing started attacking us the moment they discovered us."
Rena was so angry that her face turned pale. "Since our position is easy to fight, everyone comes to fight whenever they have time? This won't do! "
Lin Sanjiu wasn't worried about that. She thought for a while and was about to speak, but she was interrupted by a cold female voice that echoed in the space, "Girls in the central hall, did you find the target book?"
The one who spoke was the woman from the south wing.
It was hard to deny what she had said.
They suddenly took the risk of leaving the bookshelf area and using some unknown method to hide in the open multimedia area. Then, as they were running back, Siri's voice rang out … None of the people present were fools. Even if they denied it, no one would believe them.
Just as Lin Sanjiu was nervously considering her words, Silvan's deep and melodious voice rang out. Silvan's deep and melodious voice suddenly rang out. However, his words were not very pleasant to the ears.
"As for the two target books that we found earlier, I think we can talk about it later. But for now, I hope that you can provide us with clues on how to find the target books … After all, you don't want to be enemies with all four of our branches. " His tone was calm and there was no hint of threat in it. He sounded sincere, but Lin Sanjiu couldn't help cursing at him.
With Silvan's words confirmed, they were the ones who found the two target books!
Silvan probably realized that the secret he had just uncovered had been discovered by the team from the central hall when they ran to the multimedia study area. This was the first step he had to take in order to stall or even eliminate this competitor. He wanted to expose the other party to attacks from all sides.
"He sure is fast," Lin Sanjiu cursed silently. No matter how indignant she was, she couldn't help but admire Silvan's quick reflexes.
Lin Sanjiu could feel the siblings looking at her. They seemed to be at a loss for what to do. Lin Sanjiu quickly calculated in her mind. She felt that there was no other way. She gritted her teeth and spoke in a clear voice.
"To be honest, there's no harm in telling everyone the clues." The moment she spoke, the two kids jumped in fright. "Because it was a coincidence that we found this book."
Lin Sanjiu purposely emphasized the words "this book". She hoped that someone would understand what she was trying to say.
"There are so many bookshelves and there are hundreds of thousands of books. It was really a headache for us to look for them. Hence, we thought of searching through the areas that didn't have any books and could be easily solved. Then, we came back to the bookshelf area. Unexpectedly, we found one book." Lin Sanjiu tried to make her voice sound as sincere as possible. "That's all we know."
No one would necessarily believe everything she said. However, no matter what, the team at the central hall had admitted that they found the target book in the non-bookshelf area. That was more than enough!
When the library was filled with whispers, Rena tugged at Lin Sanjiu's sleeve in bewilderment. "Why did you admit it?" The teenage girl was a little anxious. "You even told them so much!"
"I had no choice," Lin Sanjiu sighed softly. "If I didn't say that, the other teams would definitely think that we have an important clue. Then, with Silvan fanning the flames, we would have to deal with an endless number of enemies. Now, we can give them a hint. While they are looking for the book, we have a chance to prepare. "
With the healing effect of the book, Reno's wound gradually stopped bleeding. When he heard this, he quickly asked, "A chance to prepare? What should we do next? "
Lin Sanjiu didn't answer him. She just stared at Siri's work desk.
"I have an idea …"
Under the rays of the rising sun, the red muscles on the back of Lin Sanjiu's neck could be seen very clearly. Rena suddenly realized that a small piece of honey-colored skin had appeared behind her ear.
"Ah!" Lin Sanjiu exclaimed inwardly. Then, she saw Lin Sanjiu raise her hand and touch that small patch of skin. Then, Lin Sanjiu chuckled, "I think we made the right choice by choosing the central hall."
