"It's time to hand in the summary paper for the meeting today. Hmm … it's getting late. I have to hurry." After eating the bread, Lu Sheng washed his hands and carefully combed his hair in front of the mirror. He carefully hid some of the tentacles that poked out of his scalp into his hair so that no one could see them. Only then did he nod in satisfaction, put on his clothes, and walked out of the dormitory.
When he arrived at the third school building, Lu Sheng first went to the classroom to hand in his paper. Coincidentally, one of his classmates called him to look at the results. Seeing that Andy wasn't there yet, he followed everyone to the entrance to see the results that had just been posted.
Sure enough, he was in the top three on the results list, and the second place was him.
If it wasn't for the fact that he answered the questions too carelessly and made a few mistakes, he should have been in first place.
Amidst the compliments of the students, Lu Sheng finished a physics class with his textbook, then turned around and went to the library to continue studying.
Everyone else chose to train the Power of Gula in their free time and level up their basic codex. He had long since passed this stage, so he naturally didn't care about these things.
He easily found the ancient books section. There was actually a registrar at the door. Lu Sheng registered his student number and name before he was allowed to enter.
When he entered, the registrar repeatedly reminded him that if he damaged it, he would have to pay for it at the original price. The value of the books here was shocking, so he absolutely had to be careful.
The ancient books section was an extremely large space that was at least three times the size of a normal reading room. There were long strips of stone walls inside, and the grey-white stone walls were divided into glass compartments of different sizes. Each compartment had an ancient book of different thickness.
Some of these books were wide, some were narrow, some were tall, some were short, and the shape and appearance of these books were also different.
When Lu Sheng entered, there were already people in the room. A few old men dressed in dark red robes were huddled together in a corner, whispering to each other about something indecipherable.
Their backs were facing Lu Sheng, so he couldn't see their faces. He could only see their heads squeezed together on the table, staring at something on the table.
In another corner sat a girl in a white lace dress. Her face was pale, and there were heavy circles under her eyes, as if she had applied eyeshadow. Her long black hair draped neatly over her shoulders. Her figure was graceful and slender, and her facial features were delicate and exquisite. She looked like a princess who was sitting and thinking quietly.
However, the strange thing was that the girl was staring blankly ahead. There were no books on the table in front of her. She was just sitting there quietly.
Lu Sheng felt that everyone in the room was strange. It was as if he was the only one who was normal when he walked in. It was as if he had walked into a strange and dangerous jungle alone.
He stuffed the tentacles back into his nostrils.
"The people here are all abnormal. Looks like I have to be more careful."
He walked to the center of the bookshelf on the far right. The bookshelves were arranged from right to left. Each bookshelf was divided into different categories, ranging from humanities to nature, biology to chemistry, architecture to physics, and so on. Each subject was classified differently, and the number of books was different as well.
Lu Sheng scanned the humanities bookshelf first. His gaze was fixed on the oldest and only books with the oldest covers.
He quickly locked onto his target.
'Annals of Ireland'.
This book seemed to be made of sheepskin. It was not very thick, and there was not much content. However, judging from the introduction on the side, it was at least a thousand years old.
Lu Sheng opened the glass door carefully, and took the book out slowly.
"Hiss …"
As he expected, a large amount of pure Mental Energy slowly surged into his arm. Then, it flowed along his arm and into the Modifier on his chest.
10,000 … 20,000 … 30,000 …
As time passed, Lu Sheng seemed to be standing and reading the book in his hand, but in reality, a large amount of Mental Energy was surging into his body through the book.
After a few minutes, he put the book down and put it back on the shelf.
"Not bad. One book gave me 150,000 Mental Energy units. Looks like this method works. '
He decisively switched to another book. After searching for a while, he held the second book in his hand. Another wave of Mental Energy slowly surged into his body.
As time passed, Lu Sheng absorbed the books one by one. The books that had absorbed the Mental Energy seemed to be even more worn out. However, there were no other obvious changes.
Soon, fifty minutes had passed. It was almost the limit of one hour.
Lu Sheng put the book down. He was about to leave.
He scanned his surroundings one last time.
'One more book, and I'll leave after that.'
He walked a few steps and stood at the back of the bookshelf. He reached out and accurately took a book that seemed to be a dictionary from the shelf.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took the book down, Lu Sheng saw a pair of calm and dark eyes.
From the gap left by the book, he could see the bookshelf aisle opposite him. The girl in the white dress who had just sat on the seat was standing there.
The girl's pitch-black eyes stared at him without blinking. They were like two black pearls.
Through the bookshelf, Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes. He put the book back. There was no Mental Energy on it.
'It's about time.' He looked at his pocket watch and walked out of the bookshelf. He saw the girl still sitting on the seat. She didn't move. With her speed, she couldn't hide from him without making a sound.
He turned around and looked between the bookshelves. He could faintly see the edge of a white dress there.
The two girls looked exactly the same. They were the same person.
There were too many strange things in this school. Lu Sheng didn't care. He turned around and was about to leave the reading room.
A pleasant female voice came from behind him. "The wall will be broken, and the order will be destroyed."
Lu Sheng paused. He turned around and saw the girl on the seat looking at him calmly.
"…" He looked at her.
"You're crazy."
He turned around and left in a hurry, baffled.
There was a hint of anticipation in the girl's eyes. Her lips curled into a mysterious smile. She hoped that Lu Sheng would give her a corresponding response.
Alas, the result was completely out of her expectations. The smile on her lips stiffened slightly.
…
…
The light blue planet rotated slowly. On its right, a huge patch of grayish-white contortions was struggling violently. They were trying to materialize and enter this part of the universe.
However, right in front of the contortions was a wall formed by many white vortexes. It was blocking the contortions from entering.
"Bam!
Bam! "
"Bam!"
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, a hole was torn open on the vortex wall.
"I … did it … what I should have done …" A tired voice echoed in space.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the entire white wall collapsed.
The huge grayish-white contortions that were as big as a planet instantly let out a joyful shriek. They turned into mist and charged toward the light blue planet.
They disappeared in a few breaths.
…
"The Wall Enforcers are collapsing …" In the principal's office in Misca University, a few of the university's higher-ups with solemn expressions suddenly looked up at the sky above their heads.
"As expected … this day has finally arrived … Are the preparations done?" The principal wore a dark red suit. His hair was meticulously combed, and his eyes were a pale white that was different from normal people. Both his eyeballs and pupils were pale white.
"It's done. However, I'm not worried about this place. I'm worried about the other cracks that led the teams out. There were already enough void monsters there, and they were barely able to hold on …"
"Did you bring the high-powered Order Halo over?"
"It's not very useful. Forgive me for being blunt, Mr. Principal, but the research results of the past few years have been huge, but the results have been weak. Our situation is not optimistic," an old lady who was dressed elegantly reminded him in a low voice.
"The university's board of directors is very dissatisfied with your actions. They hope that you can come up with a more effective policy."
"I believe in Maradona. We've worked together for more than six hundred years. I know what kind of person he is. Please give him a little more time," a young man beside her advised softly.
"I agree with you, but the university's assets are about to be severely impacted. They don't care that much. What they need is results." The old lady shook her head slightly.
Principal Maradona patted his red suit lightly.
"In this time of crisis, I'll immediately come up with results to appease the board of directors. If worse comes to worst, I'll do it myself. I believe that we old antiques with level-seven evolved bodies aren't so old that we can't even cut a few evil god tentacles."
"You said it yourself," the old lady said helplessly.
"Of course. This is my promise." Maradona nodded.
"The cataclysm will break out soon. I hope you can keep your promise." The old lady could only choose to believe him. After all, she was on the university's side.
…
…
When Lu Sheng came out of the library, he saw that someone was giving a live speech on the basketball court on the right. A large group of students were gathered there to watch.
The speaker was a very old professor with white hair and presbyopic glasses. There were too many old people like this in the school. Old men could be seen everywhere.
He waved his fists passionately and shouted something. The students below him were also very excited. They seemed to be mobilizing for something.
Lu Sheng watched from the side and felt that it was meaningless. He went straight to the cafeteria.
In the cafeteria, a middle-aged woman gathered a group of students to give a speech. It seemed that she was mobilizing the French students to go back and serve their country.
The entire cafeteria was a mess.
During the afternoon class, Andy finally came. He sat beside Lu Sheng with a haggard face. His right shoulder was wrapped in bandages.
This guy seemed to have had a hard time these few days.
"The university has lifted the ban … Students can freely enter and leave the university without worrying about their memories being erased. The reason is that chaos is coming. "The first news that Andy brought surprised Lu Sheng.
"Chaos?"
"Yeah …" Andy took a bite of the beef rice in front of him and chewed hard. "Last night, when I was making love with a radical female cadre, she was so excited that she shouted 'Long live the national army'. I didn't react at the time. When I asked her later, she saw that she couldn't hide it, so she told me everything. You don't know how I felt at that time. I was in a romantic mood, but it suddenly withered. After that, she didn't hide it anymore and pulled me to play with her. I felt that I had no interest in that kind of thing. We're not the same kind of people at all, so I left. "
