Almost at the same time when the light illuminated the snow-white face, a gust of wind suddenly swept up from the second floor of the north wing. As a figure leaped down the stairs, even the air was shattered by the force of the fall, and with a whooshing sound, the fragments scattered in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Sanjiu landed beside Reno. Following that, Rena also ran down the stairs and stood behind her brother.
The teenager heaved a sigh of relief when he found a companion.
"Why is there a duoluozhong here?" A surprised voice came from the second floor of the west wing. This question was also the question that lingered in everyone's mind. As if they could not believe their eyes, a bright light rose from the west wing as well. The light source they used was much better than the flashlight that Silvan had randomly found. In an instant, half of the library was illuminated by the white light, revealing every single detail in the room.
Under this light, the appearance of the thing in front of them looked even stranger.
The duoluozhongs that Lin Sanjiu encountered at Kisaragi Train Station were more or less translucent. Some of the weaker duoluozhongs even had blurred edges of their bodies. However, this duoluozhong in front of Lin Sanjiu looked shockingly real.
Whether it was its clear lines, its solid and ghastly white color, or the realistic feeling that it "occupied a space", it clearly showed that this duoluozhong was different from other spirits. It was like a living person, but its face was peeled off, its facial features were shaved off, its eyelids and mouth were sewn together, and finally, it was painted with a layer of snow-white.
Even though the eeriness of the duoluozhong was reduced, a single glance at it was enough to make one's scalp go numb.
Seeing that the strange thing just stood there quietly, Lin Sanjiu didn't move for the time being. Rena quickly took the opportunity to check on her brother's wound. His wound had been torn open, but it wasn't a big deal.
"Why is there only one?"
Silvan raised his voice a little after the torchlight from the east wing swept across the room a few times. He frowned slightly. His eyelashes cast a soul-shaking shadow in his emerald green eyes.
When Lin Sanjiu heard his voice, she couldn't explain why. She suddenly looked up at the east wing. The next second, she saw that Silvan seemed to have remembered something. His expression changed, and he turned around and rushed to the stairs leading to the first floor.
"It's too late!"
In the hall of the library, a clear, drawn-out child's voice echoed. Upon hearing this voice, the faceless duoluozhong in front of them twitched its shoulders. As the person in the west wing raised the light source, Lin Sanjiu and the others could see that the sound came from the stairs of the east wing.
A naked baby crawled down the stairs with all four of his limbs on the ground. On his giant head, which seemed to be on the verge of collapsing, a pair of black hole-like eyes were bent into a weird angle. He was holding a flat, rectangular object in his mouth, which was a book.
The featureless duoluozhong immediately let out a shrill laugh. It turned around and ran towards the baby. Just as Lin Sanjiu was about to chase after the duoluozhong, she heard a thunderous roar that shook the entire library. Rena lost her balance and almost fell to the ground.
A menacing figure suddenly leaped down from the second floor of the east wing. With a loud thud, he landed right in front of the two duoluozhong. Even the floor shook from the impact.
Everything happened too quickly. It was beyond everyone's expectations.
When Lin Sanjiu heard Silvan's angry roar, a whirlwind suddenly appeared in the central hall. As the tall figure moved, a whirlwind whipped up in the central hall. The strong wind howled in the half-lit space, making it hard for anyone to see what was going on. The only thing that could be heard was the shrill scream from the child's voice. Amidst the whirlwind, the sound of objects falling to the ground, and the sound of bookshelves falling to the ground. Nobody knew what the people in the west wing saw, but the light source that lit up half of the library flickered a few times.
After about ten seconds, the wind stopped. Lin Sanjiu turned around and saw that only she and Silvan were still standing in the library.
The baby-like duoluozhong had already been torn into a few ragged pieces and turned into a few wisps of smoke. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared. Suddenly, there was a faint noise coming from the stairs of the south wing. Then, a pale figure rushed back. Silvan looked up at the escaping duoluozhong but did not move.
The siblings supported themselves with their arms and got up, looking a little flustered.
Silvan turned around and looked at Lin Sanjiu and the others. He said softly, as if he was explaining something to someone, "Peach is dead."
He bent down to pick up the book on the ground and strode towards them. Lin Sanjiu could sense that Rena and Rena were startled. However, as Lin Sanjiu got closer and her face became clearer in the light, the two kids gradually relaxed.
...
Lin Sanjiu sighed silently.
"This. Here. "
When Silvan stopped a few steps away from her, he seemed to have calmed down. When he handed her a book, he looked down at Lin Sanjiu. Following this movement, the shadow on his face swayed, creating a line of light and shadow that no one could mistake for.
Lin Sanjiu looked at the book in his hand. It was a book titled "Dinosaur Fossil Reconstruction Technique". It was one of the five books she wanted. Lin Sanjiu immediately took the book from him without hesitation. She did not forget to ask, "Why?"
"Have you forgotten what you said?" Silvan smiled bitterly. This was the first time Lin Sanjiu had seen such an expression on his face. "I'm here to join your team."
The siblings behind him immediately let out a sharp intake of breath.
"Siri's rules definitely don't allow two teams to merge …" Lin Sanjiu felt a headache coming on. Just as she was about to decline, Silvan forcefully interrupted her, "The number of lives doesn't matter to me."
"You don't want 25 lives?"
Just as Lin Sanjiu was about to say something, the two kids behind her suddenly became excited. They tugged at her clothes and said, "Let him come." "He is a good person." Lin Sanjiu found it hard to shake her head.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know how to face him, so she put on a stern face and said coldly, "Don't make your own decisions." "Don't you dare act on your own."
Silvan combed his blonde hair and smiled casually. His carefree attitude was extremely dazzling.
"You... You were so angry just now..." Rena suddenly asked. Her eyes were sparkling and her tone was strangely cautious, "That peach, is she your... erm... friend?"
"I met her outside the library," Silvan patted Rena's head gently. Silvan patted Rena's head gently. Rena didn't move an inch and allowed him to pat her head. It made Silvan sigh. "I promised her that I would earn enough lives here... I broke my promise."
"Does he treat all girls like this?"
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help thinking.
However, when Silvan faced Lin Sanjiu, the strange change in his attitude had completely disappeared. If she didn't have such a deep impression of him that time, she would have thought that she was hallucinating.
However, none of this mattered. The moment Silvan passed them the book, they had to leave the west wing's sight immediately.
Perhaps it was because the team from the west wing had also suffered quite a bit of shock, it was much easier for them to escape from the light of the west wing than they had imagined. After they hid themselves in the bookshelves in the central hall, the few of them began to discuss their next step.
"From what I know about the mushrooms in the west wing," Silvan said lazily as he leaned against the bookshelf. He crossed his arms and said, "In this situation, they will definitely watch from the sidelines. The most annoying thing about them is that they always stand on the side where they can gain the most benefits. "
"The third book has been found. Who has it?" Reno asked hurriedly, "The south wing?"
"That's what I guessed." Silvan nodded and asked with a smile, "I would like to know, what did you guys do at Siri's place?"
