Q: "Siri, what happens if no one finds the five target books?"
A: "In that case, the activity in the library will continue … until the books are found. Or, when the number of days that the activity lasts is equal to the sum of all the team members' lives, all the lives will be deducted in one go. "
Q: "Then, wouldn't they all die?"
A: "When the time comes, I will open the door again to welcome the next batch of readers."
Q: "Alright. What if someone collects all five books but doesn't want to confirm it? "
A: "Let's assume that no one finds the books."
Q: "In other words, we have to confirm it … Do we have to come to the workbench to confirm it? What if I hold up the five books for you to see? Is that okay? "
A: "No."
Q: "Then, can you tell us the sum of the lives of everyone in the library?"
A: "Yes."
Q: "Then, tell us!"
A: "522."
Q: "Ah, so many … Who knows how many? Can you tell us?"
A: "No. Because it doesn't affect the duration of the activity. "
Q: "Whatever you say, it makes sense. By the way, how did the five target books disappear from the library's system? "
A: "Because the librarian here loves to read. When the library is closed, she would spend the whole day in the library. She would hold a book in her hand no matter if she was eating or taking an afternoon nap. Maybe she was too relaxed, so after some time, she realized that five books had disappeared. "
Q: "You are the librarian, right?"
A: "No comment."
Under the cover of the night, Lin Sanjiu and Rena quietly and quickly approached the corner of the wall. They stopped and listened for any movement in the corridor next door.
From the hints he got from the conversation between Reno and Siri, he could basically confirm that the "librarian" had left the five books in her tracks while she was killing time. The three books found in the reading area and the multimedia area seemed to prove this point. Also, Siri mentioned "eating and taking an afternoon nap" as if she was hinting that this "librarian" had the same daily activities as a living person. However, the library obviously didn't have a canteen.
Lin Sanjiu scanned the area with her higher consciousness. After confirming that there was nothing out of the ordinary, he gestured to Rena and the two of them quickly walked into the corridor. There was a sign above their heads that said "Restroom". It glowed green in the dark.
Before the two groups separated, Silvan pulled down the combat glasses on his head and covered half of his face. For some reason, his action was especially memorable. "Let's go talk to the people from the west wing first." He casually flung his arm over Reno's shoulder. It was as if the two of them had known each other for many years. "Be careful when you're looking for the books. The south wing is abnormally quiet right now."
Just as Lin Sanjiu remembered this reminder, she and Rena had just pushed open the heavy wooden door of the female washroom. The wooden door slid open soundlessly under the control of the two people's strength, and a dark yellow light immediately spilled onto the ground. Although the wattage of the light bulb was not high, it was not damaged. The sink, the phone dryer, and the individual cubicles were all illuminated by the light.
Rena looked around and heaved a sigh of relief when she didn't see anyone in the bathroom. After she closed the wooden door, she mumbled softly, "I really hope the books are in this washroom …"
This was already the fourth washroom they had searched.
After they searched the two female washrooms in the central hall, they went to the second floor of the east wing. If there were no books in this washroom, Lin Sanjiu really wanted to go back and search the male washroom as well.
"Are we still going to search one by one?"
Since there was no one around, Rena felt a little relaxed. She pushed open the door of the first cubicle and walked in. Then, she started to nitpick again, "The toilet is really disgusting. Siri is really …"
Lin Sanjiu walked into the second cubicle and casually dealt with Rena. She put down the toilet lid and checked the crack behind the toilet bowl.
"Oh yeah, are you sure you don't want to tell Silvan your name?" Even though Lin Sanjiu was looking for books, she didn't stop Rena from chatting with her, "There aren't many gentlemen like him. Besides, not everyone in the Twelve Worlds Centrum is Puppeteer's lackey … "
"Nah, I think you guys can just call me Jiu now."
Perhaps it was because Gong Daoyi had left a deep impression on her back in the Garden of Eden that Gong Daoyi had left a deep impression on her. Lin Sanjiu couldn't find any trust in Silvan, no matter how hard she tried. Besides, she disapproved of his overly gentle attitude towards all the women around him.
After Rena finished checking the first cubicle, she walked past Lin Sanjiu and entered the third cubicle, "Hmm, this one is really dirty! I heard that the female washroom is actually much dirtier than the male washroom. Maybe I can confirm it today … "
Young children always seemed to have an endless amount of energy. No matter how many battles they fought or how many injuries they sustained, as long as they could catch their breath, they would be full of energy again. When Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she couldn't help smiling.
This cubicle was also empty. Before Lin Sanjiu left, she took a look behind the door.
A woman's satchel was hanging quietly on the hook.
Lin Sanjiu was instantly excited. She reached out and took the satchel down. She touched the satchel and felt a thick texture. Lin Sanjiu opened the satchel and took out a book. She looked at the book under the light. It was "The Heart-Stealing Consort Runs with a Ball".
Just as her gaze moved away from the cover of the book, Siri's muffled voice traveled through the corridor and through the wooden door. "Progress: The fourth book has been found."
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but let out a long sigh. A smile appeared on her face, "That's great. This is the last book … Looks like there won't be any more in the washroom. Let's go and see if there's a place that's suitable for an afternoon nap."
Lin Sanjiu looked at the book in her hand and couldn't help but crack a joke, "You don't say. This book is really suitable for reading in the washroom —"
Suddenly, Lin Sanjiu realized that something was amiss.
The washroom was a little too quiet.
Lin Sanjiu's body stiffened. She slowly shifted her gaze to the gap under the partition of the cubicle.
A pair of feet wearing a pair of red, shiny leather high heels was standing where Rena was. As if the feet had sensed Lin Sanjiu's gaze, the pair of feet took a step back and bent down. (To be continued.)

I feel that the noodle restaurant downstairs is really inexperienced! I only ordered rice noodles, double beef, braised egg and shredded tofu tonight. Why did they give me two pairs of chopsticks?! They are always like this! They think it's for two people! Spitting!
