Half an hour ago, if someone had told Lin Sanjiu that she was filled with "feminine charm", she would have sneered to show that she didn't believe it.
But now, in this situation...
Lin Sanjiu exhaled. She glanced at the cover of the book again, unwilling to give up. Then, she raised her hand and threw the book back to Silvan.
The book flipped open and fell into his slender hand. The words "Asian Art History Picture Book" on the cover were indeed shocking when one didn't get a good look at it.
"I knew it wasn't," Lin Sanjiu felt a little regretful. At the same time, she stared at the man whom she couldn't figure out, "If I really put it in my trouser pocket, it would be a little too casual."
She was standing on the top shelf of the bookshelf. The faint light shone on her skinless legs, reflecting the color of her muscles and giving them a faint red edge. Coupled with her unique and cool voice, Silvan finally realized who this girl he had never met before was.
He covered his waist where he had just received a heavy blow. He lowered his head and let out a sigh that sounded like a chuckle or a sigh. Then, he said slowly, "So, you are the one in the central hall."
It was obvious that the woman in front of him had taken the opportunity to ambush him, and she had even robbed him of his belongings. It could be said that they were enemies, but Silvan didn't seem to care at all. Even though his expression was much calmer now, when he looked at Lin Sanjiu, his eyes were still as bright as ever.
"Maybe it's a little abrupt to say this," he murmured every word, "but, are you willing to join my team?"
"Of course not!"
Lin Sanjiu had never felt that she was feminine, let alone charming a man like Silvan. She was sure that Silvan had some kind of plan in mind, so she sneered, "Why didn't you join my team? The first target book is in the hands of that woman called Peach, right? Hand her over and we can negotiate. "
"About this," Silvan shook his head regretfully, "Even if it is your request, I can't do it." "Even if it is your request, I can't do it."
The strange fluctuation in his attitude had completely disappeared. Silvan tucked his hands into the pockets of his combat suit and leaned against the bookshelf behind him. He had returned to his languid and leisurely demeanor.
However, it was also because of this. Lin Sanjiu felt a little "normal" again.
She quickly scanned her surroundings.
The mushroom-like team from the west wing was nowhere to be seen. There was only a black shadow lying on the ground, no longer breathing. It seemed like the rest of the team had retreated to the west wing. She had checked the second floor of the east wing several times, but there was no trace of Peach. It seemed like he was hiding on the first floor.
It seemed that she was probably hiding on the first floor. If she wanted to reach the first floor of the wing, she had to pass through Silvan.
However, it wasn't that easy. After the man fought with the five opponents from the west wing, he appeared to be unscathed, but his opponents left a corpse behind. Not only was he difficult to deal with, but Silvan's current number of lives had already reached a level that would make anyone flinch.
An extra life was equivalent to an extra life. When the difference in the number of lives between the two sides reached a certain level, there was no way to fight this battle.
Just when Lin Sanjiu started to feel a little anxious and Silvan suddenly raised his head slightly, as if he was about to say something, a sudden "boom" came from the other end of the library. It was not a loud sound. However, the bright red flames that followed immediately devoured half of the library's darkness.
As the fire soared into the sky, a shrill, ear-piercing scream rang out. A huge shadow was struggling in the fire, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't get out of the fire cage. The shadow screamed, rolled, and threw out countless sparks. Soon, even the handrails of the stairs and the bookshelves in the central hall were set ablaze.
Lin Sanjiu was shocked. The flames from the second floor of the north wing instantly lit up a small figure hugging a book beside the railing. It was Rena.
Almost at the same time, the north wing team's roars came from the central hall downstairs. Seeing that their own library was on fire, a few black figures immediately rushed up the stairs to the second floor of the north wing. Rena also realized that something was wrong. She hurriedly stood up and wanted to run. However, the fire behind her was too strong. She tried a few times to break out of the encirclement, but she was forced back to the corner by the burning black figure.
Seeing that the north wing team had already rushed over, Lin Sanjiu couldn't care less about the book in Silvan's hand anymore. She pushed off the ground and leaped forward. At the same time, Silvan moved to chase after her. However, he didn't expect Lin Sanjiu to fly out from the second floor. He immediately missed his target.
He gripped the handrail tightly and stared in the direction of the north wing without moving. Under the flickering light from the fire, there was a frightening look on his face.
Lin Sanjiu didn't have time to care about what was happening behind her. The moment she leaped onto the railing of the north wing, the flames in the area suddenly extinguished. The library was plunged into darkness once again.
As a special effect of the book, the burning flames had a time limit. Once the time was up, the effect would naturally disappear.
Even though it was only for a short half a minute, it was enough to save Rena's life. A few seconds after the fire went out, the huge earthworm-like thing suddenly fell to the ground with a loud bang and broke into pieces of charcoal.
Even though it was burnt beyond recognition, the people from the north wing who had just rushed up to the second floor and surrounded Rena couldn't help being stunned.
"What is that thing?" the man in the top hat muttered as he glanced at Rena, who was covered in wounds. "Why are you and that thing here?"
"Just as one enemy left, another group of enemies came." Rena supported herself with her knees and stood up. She glared at the faces of the people in front of her and panted, "Aren't you the ones who raised this thing?"
The man in the top hat looked at the cylindrical charcoal on the ground suspiciously. Then, he suddenly laughed sinisterly.
"This has nothing to do with us. Young lady, I hope you have enough numbers on you … "
Lin Sanjiu didn't land in a good spot. She landed right behind the people from the north wing. When the man in the top hat said that, Lin Sanjiu had just climbed over the railing without making a sound. However, she was still discovered by one of the people from the north wing.
However, Lin Sanjiu didn't expect to hear that.
"Why? You guys are willing to come and help us when you saw that we found someone?" That person snorted unhappily, "We clearly had an appointment … Why did they only send you over?"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned.
It seemed like that person had mistaken her for someone else …
"Who did he mistake for? It must be someone I have never met before … "Lin Sanjiu thought to herself as she walked closer to that person.
When she turned her head, she immediately understood.
From where that person was standing, Lin Sanjiu could see the pitch-black south wing behind her. (To be continued.)
