Chapter 324 323. Depths of the Library

"Go away!"

Lloyd shouted low and slashed diagonally with the dagger in his hand, cutting off a 'senior' who was charging towards him. The separated upper and lower body just missed him.

Then, Lloyd made another deft turn, and several matches he was twisting in his left hand shot out, turning into invisible sword blades, cutting into pieces a book that sneaked up on him from behind.

There were no screams or exclamations, and there were no splashes of blood or internal organs. There was only a dark hole in the 'senior''s body, which seemed to be connected to some unknown abyss.

Those tiny pages just scattered quietly, and then melted into the library floor.

[Ding~ Madness value +500, knowledge fragment +1]

[Ding~ Madness value +400, knowledge fragment +1]

Following two panel prompts, the two figures of the 'senior' dissipated in the air like broken bubbles without a trace.

Judging from the panel prompts, although these 'seniors' may be really alive and have lifelike human images, they are obviously no longer human beings, but rather unique monsters in the style of humanoid sculptures.

The previous powerful attack wiped out a lot of 'seniors' and knowledge, but this library is really big, and the place where it was settled before was only a small and insignificant area.

So before Lloyd had even taken a few steps, he had already bumped into several overly enthusiastic 'seniors' and several books of overly proactive knowledge.

Fortunately, the area that Lloyd was in was a relatively long and narrow corridor, and there weren't many ghosts left here. If he had walked into a spacious reading room or library, he couldn't believe what he would have faced...

If these things are taken one by one, it may still be a good 'experience point', but if they are all swarmed, it is probably Roy who becomes their 'experience point'...

And the key point is that the [Distortion] that Lloyd is usually proud of is not particularly easy to use against this knowledge and monsters...

[Distortion] Na Laman's various control effects are completely ineffective against these gadgets. They seem to have no such thing as perception and thinking at all? The biggest advantage of [Distortion] is completely useless.

Even physical distortions that directly cause damage have little effect on these gadgets. Even if the 'senior's' spine and neck are twisted several times, they will still rush towards Lloyd without hesitation.

It seems that simpler and more direct methods are more effective in dealing with these things, such as the powerful attack just now, or directly cutting them into two pieces with a sword.

And his [Projection] was left in the previous camp guarding the elevator. Now [Super Swordsmanship] has become Lloyd's biggest reliance.

He also tried using a gun, but the space here was too weird, and it always disrupted the bullet's flight path, and he couldn't hit it no matter what...

Therefore, Lloyd must be extremely careful in his actions, choose his route carefully, and be sure to avoid the reading rooms and library rooms.

Fortunately, during the previous incident in the small mountain village, he unexpectedly gained the experience of the three senior investigators in investigating abnormal events, which came in handy at this moment.

These experiences allowed him to remain calm and collected in this extremely dangerous state, and he had a clear mind and was able to notice the 'small details' that may seem inconspicuous but could be fatal.

If not, the book that hit him on the back of the head from behind might have been successful...

A single book may still be able to survive by relying on the panel, but what if it attracts more things...

So just like that, Lloyd relied on his daily accumulation and carefully avoided several dangerous areas. Without alerting the seniors inside, he quietly came to a staircase.

According to the calculation of spatial coordinates, the professor's team is in the middle area above the two floors. If they climb two consecutive floors along the stairs, they may be able to meet them.

But the coordinates of the team of lecturers and teaching assistants pointed in the completely opposite direction, actually going down the stairs?

Lloyd didn't know if they went in the wrong direction or encountered some kind of accident?

At this fork in the road, Lloyd didn't think too much and chose to go up and find the professor and the others first.

After all, the fighting power over there is stronger. With their help, it will definitely be much easier to find the three lecturers.

Lloyd then hunched over and climbed up the stairs, trying not to make any noise. But when he finished climbing one flight of stairs, his face darkened when he saw the scene above.

The corner of this staircase is connected to a spacious open balcony, where a large number of 'seniors' gather.

Judging from their frozen body movements, it seemed that two people were having some kind of argument and were pulling each other off, which attracted many people to watch.

And these people all hold various books and notebooks in their hands...

A few of them even noticed movement on the other side of the stairs and turned around to look over.

Lloyd quickly retracted his head and stepped back a few steps.

No, if I want to go through here, they will definitely find me, but now I don’t have time to find other routes...

Do you want to open the portal and go directly there?

Lloyd looked down at the space compass in his pocket.

This might be a good way to take a shortcut.

But on the eve of this undercurrent and the already unstable storm, if you open the portal rashly, you might become the butterfly that causes the storm...

What's more, he still doesn't know what's going on with the professors on the other side of the portal? I only know that their coordinates have not been moved for a long time...

Want to take a gamble?

Lloyd hesitated for a second, then took out two matches.

At this time, he chose to believe in his divination.

Can you just open the door and go there? Can you just open the door and go there? Can you just open the door and go there?

Lloyd silently repeated the question in his mind and gently threw the match on the ground.

This time the match did not burn, but showed some kind of strange weathering and decay, as if it had gone through tens of thousands of years in the blink of an eye, and in an instant there were only a few dark wood chips left.

This result and omen...

optimism!

This shows that the door behind it is related to 'time', and it should be the [Miracle Magic: Time Freeze] I am looking for!

And my current dangers and difficulties will disappear in the blink of an eye like this!

After a brief interpretation of the divination, Lloyd's confidence suddenly increased. He immediately took out the space compass and began to tap it gently.

As the portal opened, the 'seniors' on the balcony upstairs were also alerted by the movement, and immediately swarmed in like crazy.

As a result, Lloyd had no way out, so he just bit the bullet and jumped into the portal.

Then, as his vision changed, he came to an extremely wide and grand library.

The bookshelves here stand tall like skyscrapers, making it impossible to see the end.

They formed a large circle, as if they were building a tower of knowledge.

What was surrounded by them was just a simple desk with some quills, parchment, and a crystal ball that was glowing slightly.
