Amidst the shouts and the occasional flashes of light, the entire library seemed to be shaking. After some kind of heavy blow, a cloud of dust leaked out from the cracks in the ceiling. It landed right on Reno's face, causing him to be unable to open his eyes. He desperately pinched his nose to prevent himself from sneezing.
If he made a sound, he would be attacked by both the north and south wing at the same time. His life points would be depleted in an instant.
This was because Reno was currently lying behind the corpse in the north wing. In other words, he was in the most spacious and central position in the hall. Siri's workstation was pressed tightly against his back.
In the dark library, only Siri's face was illuminated by the white light. As she moved, the light from the computer screen reflected different colors on her face. From the reflection of her lenses, Lin Sanjiu could vaguely make out a few lines of text.
At this moment, she lowered her eyes and glanced at Reno through her glasses. Then, she stared at the computer screen silently.
Since Reno was in the opposite direction of the computer screen, the strong light made his hiding spot the darkest place in the library. In addition, the bloody corpses in front of him served as a cover. Hence, no one noticed that there was a person hiding right under their noses even after such a long time.
A distance away from the corpse was the feather duster that he had used when he was alive. With tears in his eyes, Reno waited for the sneezing sensation to subside. Then, he crouched down slightly and called out softly, "Siri!"
The tapping sounds on the keyboard stopped immediately. Siri made a sound of "Hmm?"
Siri did not hold back in this series of movements, causing Roland's heart to leap into his throat. Fortunately, he was surrounded by a chaotic battle, and her voice was immediately drowned out by all sorts of strange noises and sounds of fighting.
Reno composed himself. Lin Sanjiu's advice slowly surfaced in his mind.
"Answer me softly," he whispered, "I — I have a lot of questions to ask you."
"What questions?" Indeed, Siri lowered her voice when she heard Reno's request. Reno immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
He quickly went through the questions he was about to ask in his mind. He picked one and asked in a low voice, "Do you know the location of the target books that have been found?"
Before Siri could reply, Reno hurriedly removed the communication device from his ear and brought it closer to Siri.
Half an hour ago. Even Lin Sanjiu herself did not expect that the plan she had just discussed with the two kids would come to fruition so soon.
Suddenly, a series of lightning bolts and flames exploded. When the library was plunged into darkness, Lin Sanjiu immediately snapped out of her shock. She suppressed the excitement in her heart. She pushed the siblings beside her and said softly, "Now!"
The siblings panicked a little. "Ah? Now? "
Lin Sanjiu cocked her head to the side and heard the voice from the west wing, "Kid from the east wing!" Then, she hurriedly whispered to the kids beside her, "Yes, put on your communication devices. We will act according to plan!"
Once they carried out their plan, they would have no way out. However, the fearless nature of the youngsters immediately overcame their worries. After the siblings put on their communication devices excitedly, Rena suddenly remembered something.
"Then … how are you going to contact us without a communication device?" Rena asked, not knowing what to do.
As the siblings had always been on their own, the items they brought out from Red Nautilus were usually only for two people. Lin Sanjiu touched her empty ears instinctively and comforted them, "Don't worry. We have our own missions this time … It's not like we are going to separate ways. Since we already have a place to meet, let's meet there. "
The brother and sister nodded and quickly separated in the darkness. Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Under the cover of the argument between the teams and the darkness, Reno lowered his body and sprinted towards Siri's work desk in the hall. Rena turned and ran towards the entrance to the north wing from the central hall. That was the staircase that led to the second floor of the north wing.
For some reason, it was impossible to directly enter the first floor of the branch library from the central hall. Every branch library only had a staircase that connected the central hall to the second floor of the main library.
Since he wasn't sure if he would be seen by the people from the West Wing if he went upstairs at this time, he didn't dare to go upstairs. In addition, she did not know where the people from the north wing were. She hesitated and stopped by the staircase. She wanted to observe the situation on the other side.
The little girl, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, pressed her body almost to the ground and hid behind the handrail of the stairs. It was difficult to see, but that was only with the naked eye.
If Rena had something like "area surveillance" or "thermal scanning", she would have been discovered even if she hid in the ground, let alone behind the armrest. Unfortunately, the people from the north wing who were planning to attack the central hall had such a book in their hands.
A few figures suddenly leaped out from the second floor of the north wing. When they landed in front of Rena with a thud, her heart almost flew out of her chest. The blood in her body froze like a block of ice.
"Quick! Don't miss any place! "
The man in the top hat shouted in a low voice. The man standing in front of Rena quickly lifted his leg. Then, he dashed towards the bookshelves with the other people who had leaped out with him.
Rena stood rooted to the ground. She could not react for a long time.
"He definitely did not intend to let me go," she thought in a daze.
Only when the people from the north wing disappeared into the bookshelves did Rena realize what had happened. She did not dare to stay in the same spot for another second. She no longer cared about being seen by the people from the west wing. She turned around and dashed upstairs as fast as she could.
When people used area surveillance, they would only be able to monitor the area around them. The distance between Rena and that man was so close that if she poked her head out, the tip of her nose would touch his trousers. In other words, she was in the man's "personal" area just now!
Once they left, the possibility of her being exposed immediately increased. As long as one person casually glanced at the staircase, she was afraid that she would die.
Rena finally reached the second floor of the north wing safely. The moment she saw the bookshelves, she heaved a sigh of relief and quickly rushed in.
The people from the north wing had left, so the north wing should be safe now. It seemed like her mission had become the easiest among the three of them.
Before this thought could disappear, Rena suddenly felt that something was wrong. She looked up and saw a palm-sized face that looked like a human and a snake staring at her from the top of the bookshelf. (To be continued.)
