"One and a half hours? Well, damn the privileged class! "Andy was speechless and waved his hand at Lu Sheng. "See you later, I have something to do first."
He pulled Aryan and Claire out of the cafeteria in a hurry.
Lu Sheng looked at them from behind. Finally, he cleaned up the food in front of him, stood up, and wiped his mouth.
He threw the napkin on the table and calculated the time.
"It seems that my strength is not enough … Today is the day to upgrade. From the fifth form to the sixth form, I need the codex. It is in the library at night, I will go and get it tonight …"
After leaving the cafeteria, Lu Sheng directly stayed in the library until the library closed in the afternoon. He asked Yi An to teach painting skills in the empty classroom of the school. After the class and dinner, it was almost time for him to go to the library at night.
At his level, the codex system was more or less at the upper middle level.
Many students may not be able to reach the fifth form in their lifetime. Depending on the accumulation of time, they could only reach the fourth form at most. As for the fifth form, only senior scholars who were immersed in the codex and the sixth organ had the possibility of reaching it.
And at this level, under the invasion of the evil gods, they could only barely protect themselves.
Lu Sheng checked the arranged landing point and made preparations for the next landing point. Then he went to the library at night.
…
…
Bang.
The door of the library closed heavily. Lu Sheng saw the old man again. He was standing in the guardhouse on the right side, staring at him through the glass window.
There were no electric lights or candles in the guardhouse, only a little candlelight from the hall on the first floor reflected the old man's face.
"Long time no see." Lu Sheng smiled and greeted the old man.
The old man did not respond.
Lu Sheng ignored him and went directly to the stairs on the second floor. The clues about the fifth level codex that the Chaos Codex gave him were on the third floor of the library at night.
And the third floor was also the most dangerous place for books.
After passing through the second floor, he turned a corner and went up to the third floor.
Lu Sheng held onto the cold handrail of the stairs. The space around him was empty, and he could only hear the echoing sound of his own footsteps.
The dark and quiet hall on the third floor was a huge circle. The floor was made of black tiles that seemed to be in the shape of a screw, and the surrounding walls were made of transparent crystal glass. On the ceiling above, there was a huge black monster with a human head and a snake's body surrounded by countless flowers.
Around the hall, there were many round arched red wooden doors. Each wooden door had a different nameplate hanging on it.
From astronomy to medicine to mathematics, there were all kinds of nameplates. There were more than twenty of them.
Lu Sheng followed the clues given by the Chaos Codex. His gaze quickly swept through the surrounding wall lights and stopped at a room with a humanities nameplate.
He reached out and pressed his hand on the wooden door. The tough and cold door gave off the feeling of a living tree.
Crack.
He gently pushed it away.
Inside, there were five cylindrical bookshelves, arranged in a square.
"Bottom row of the fourth bookshelf." Lu Sheng recited the information recorded by the clues. With the dim light from the wall lights, he walked to the side of the bookshelf and looked at the serial numbers.
Soon, he saw the so-called fifth level of the codex.
At the bottom row of the fourth bookshelf, there were heavy books with silver covers and the thickness of a palm.
"Lani Codex".
"Fear Codex".
"Ice Blue Codex".
"Eastern Sage Codex" …
Numerous codex books were neatly arranged side by side. These codex books emitted a strange aura of decay. It was as if their surface was covered in a thick layer of mud.
Lu Sheng reached out and picked a book at random, and pulled it out.
On the cover of the book, there was a line of words that kept twisting: "Dian An Codex".
The title of the book was like looking at a rock underwater through the surface of the water. It was slightly blurry, and there seemed to be a slight obstacle on the surface that blocked Lu Sheng's vision.
"Hiss …"
A slight amount of Mental Energy was transmitted into the book the moment it touched it. It was not much, but it was like a steady stream.
He flipped open the book. There was a line of words on the first page.
"I wish that anyone who reads this book will have their family broken up and their family broken up."
"What kind of preface is this??" Lu Sheng was speechless. He had never seen anyone who wrote a book write something like this at the beginning.
Was this not insulting?
He continued flipping.
The second page was a black whirlpool that kept spinning. Lu Sheng reached out and touched the inner wall of the whirlpool with his finger. He could actually reach into the center.
'Interesting … This fifth level codex is already different from the codex books before it. This thing seems to be alive … '
He ignored the whirlpool and flipped to the next page.
On the third page was a colorful midget. It wore a bright red dress, had green skin, and pointed ears. It also had extraordinarily large eyeballs.
"Do you want the subsequent knowledge?" The midget let out a strange laugh, and suddenly spoke.
"If you do, then give me 13 pairs of eyeballs first. I want human children. They can't be more than 10 years old. It's best if they have a sweet and lively personality. If you can do it, I'll grant you the knowledge you want depending on my mood. "
"…" Lu Sheng stared at the midget for a while. He quickly looked around to make sure that there was no one around.
With a shake of his hand, he took out a pocket watch.
"Come, look into my eyes …"
"Tick, tick, tick …" The minute ticking of the stopwatch echoed in the empty reading room.
Two minutes later …
The midget in the red dress's eyes gradually became dull. It was clear that the psychological guidance art was about to take effect.
Although Lu Sheng's enormous spirit could not be used in the outside world, it seemed to have some effect on these non-human beings through the psychological guidance art.
"Pitiful midget! You're being toyed with by a human … "Just when he thought he was about to succeed …
The dozen books at the side started vibrating at the same time. Wisps of mysterious black fog floated out. An old and treacherous voice rang out.
Large amounts of black fog quickly condensed and formed a human figure. It formed an old man with a black top hat and a walking stick behind Lu Sheng.
The midget's dull eyes immediately recovered. It suddenly screamed and closed the book automatically. It clearly did not want to come into contact with Lu Sheng anymore.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes and showed a hint of dissatisfaction.
He turned around and looked behind him.
"Don't try to hypnotize me! Damn human! "The old man shouted and slammed his walking stick on the ground.
Lu Sheng looked at the auras of other colors that were slowly spreading out from the bookshelves at the side. He could not help but reveal a surprised smile.
"It's okay. Let's do it together. Come, look into my eyes … "
He shook the pocket watch off with a swish and shook it gently with his wrist.
"Damn it! There's something strange about this human. Everyone, don't look into his eyes! "the old man shouted.
"Kill him! Quick, kill him! "
"Kill him!"
"Let's go together!"
All sorts of smoke flew out and condensed into different human figures on the ground. They charged madly at Lu Sheng.
Ten seconds later …
"Bang!"
The wooden door of the reading room was violently pounded.
It was followed by a series of rapid and intensive smashing sounds.
"Kacha." The door was opened from the inside. A bloody arm suddenly stretched out.
"Come, look into my eyes …" A gentle voice floated out from inside.
The arm was suddenly grabbed by something and pulled back.
"Bang!"
The door was directly closed and locked from the inside.
At the staircase of the hall on the third floor, the old man's eyelid twitched. He silently put down the sharp knife in his hand.
He was about to turn around and go downstairs.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a dull sound of the door closing came from the reading room.
He turned his head and saw that there was a tall and dark figure standing behind him.
"Where … do you want to go?" Lu Sheng held the pocket watch in his hand and looked at him with a strange smile.
The old man stared blankly at Lu Sheng. The knife in his hand trembled and fell uncontrollably.
"Clang."
"A crisp sound."
"Ah!"
From afar, a shrill scream suddenly came from the entire night library.
Looking from afar, one of the glass windows on the third floor of the library was suddenly imprinted with a bloody handprint.
Through the window, one could see that there seemed to be a figure inside. He was desperately struggling, but an irresistible force was dragging him towards the depths of the library.
The figure in front of the window became fainter and smaller. The scream slowly became softer and softer, until it completely disappeared.
Soon, the lights in the entire library went out. The entire building seemed to have fallen into complete darkness. There was no longer any movement.
Half an hour later.
The door slowly opened. Lu Sheng wiped the corner of his mouth and slowly walked out with a smile.
In the darkness behind him, the old man looked at his figure with a dull expression and stood motionless by the door.
"Everything will continue as it was. Don't inform me if there's nothing important, "Lu Sheng ordered.
"Yes …" The old man answered dully and stiffly.
Lu Sheng tidied his collar with satisfaction and turned around to walk back the way he came.
Looking at Lu Sheng's slowly disappearing figure, the old man slowly turned around and returned to the guardhouse to wait for the next guest.
Lu Sheng did not actually do anything to them. He only ate their organs and brains and replaced them with his own flesh and blood.
The old man and the parasites in the books were actually a special kind of Void Daemons. They were monsters that were once sealed by the academy. They guarded the night library, watching over the taboo knowledge here.
And now, these guards were completely under the control of Lu Sheng.
The old man slowly returned to the guardhouse. He calmly picked up a crystal ball placed in the middle of the room and gently rubbed it a few times.
The crystal ball instantly lit up with a faint white light. It began to replay everything that Lu Sheng did after he entered the room.
He lightly touched the surface of the crystal ball. The image in the crystal ball instantly changed. It showed Lu Sheng entering the library, reading, studying, and then leaving.
Retracting his index finger, the old man reached out to put the tentacles that had popped out of the corner of his eye back. He straightened his body and slowly returned to the door to wait for the next guest.
