Mr.Teacher and his group, led by a certain honest and simple employee, walked through a giant and deep passage within the library.
However, the passage they were experiencing this time was much longer than the one Han Dong and his team had traversed previously.
"Everyone, please don’t worry. The time spent here won’t be counted towards your free reading time, so please follow me with ease."
Mr.Teacher impatiently asked, "How much longer?"
"We’re almost there."
There were two purposes for doing this.
1. To wear down the opponent’s patience, thus lowering vigilance.
2. Simultaneously, to buy more time, hoping the curator and the Yellow Robe could resolve their affairs more swiftly.
Through the Eye of the Soul, he was monitoring Mr.Teacher’s status in real-time; when he was about to explode... Swollen Doctor immediately fed back the information to Han Dong, who was leading the way.
The seemingly endless passage ahead immediately underwent changes, and three forked paths appeared.
"As you walk through the library, it has tailored the best reading areas for you. Please proceed to your allotted reading zones and enjoy top-notch Soul reading."
Mr.Teacher, however, shook his fingers, refusing this suggestion.
"No, due to special reasons, the three of us must remain together."
The guiding employee also responded with a smile: "Of course, this is a convenience offered by our library. If you do not accept, we won’t force anything... then simply choose any passage you’d like.
Trust that the collections in the deepest area will satisfy you.
Remember, you only have three days of free reading time, make sure not to exceed it."
Mr.Teacher chose the middle passage and led the team inward. Read complete versıon only at novelFirｅ.net
The employee disguised by Han Dong merely stood quietly at the fork and waved goodbye to them.
’Hmm... this kind of natural, flawless disguise is truly fantastic!
Moreover, after being tricked by me once, Mr.Teacher has become extremely cautious; whether it’s the gardener or the employees here, he has conducted checks in different directions multiple times, nearly exposing himself several times.
With my current ability, if caught, I might be instantly killed... It’s really thrilling.
The guiding process went smoothly, and next comes the formal engagement.’
Han Dong had long guessed that the teacher, out of caution and complete unfamiliarity with the library, would surely not act separately.
The setup at the fork was deliberately used to distract and lower vigilance.
Furthermore, thanks to the library’s modular design, space can be arbitrarily pieced together and adjusted... all three forks lead to the underground area.
Han Dong also connected with two teammates through the local network in his mind.
’Pope, the character you’ll be facing isn’t just a simple Out of control entity, but an Incarnation of a certain Upper Being.
This Upper Being is the Mr.Teacher I mentioned during our previous ’tour experience’.
Judging by observation, this Incarnation’s destructive power is stronger than those I’ve previously encountered... It also possesses Mr.Teacher’s Out of control ability - "Preaching".
This ability is what caused the Control Bureau to completely lose control without noticing, belonging to a hard-to-detect subconscious enslavement.
I use "Double Brain Mode", and cultivate a bionic ghoul through my stem cells to withstand "Preaching".
Can you withstand it, Pope? If uncertain, we should opt to avoid combat, let them read their fill here... wait until the curator returns to resolve it.’
"Preaching" is indeed troublesome, even listed by the Black Tower as one of the most dangerous Out of control effects.
Once influenced, any individual will undergo ’transformation’, even if the psychic power is strong, it can only affect the transformation time, ultimately gradually evolving into [Student].
However, Pope transmitted his voice with unusual firmness.
’Please let me meet with this [Mr.Teacher]’s Incarnation,
A big figure who has caused irreversible loss of control for the Black Tower — it’s such a waste if I miss the opportunity to meet.
If I’m truly influenced by ’Preaching’, it means my own ability is insufficient, Eugene will surely immediately discover and execute me.’
’...Then proceed with the original strategic plan.’
Han Dong felt that Pope’s remarks were slightly off, as if there was a hint of bravado within.
Could it be because I had direct contact with Mr.Teacher and avoided the influence of "Preaching", he also wants to try?
However, he should have no problem."
Next, Han Dong shifted the topic to Eugenes, ’Hey! Eugenes, choose one of the remaining two individuals that suits you for dealing.’
’Leave that old woman to me.
The Body hidden in her clothing seems very intriguing and emits a type of cursed aura I’ve never seen before. I personally am very fond of individuals possessing special types of flesh.
’Fondness? Eugenes, your taste is quite heavy indeed... But she’s an Out of control individual with lower rank capabilities, don’t mess it up.
Then, the glasses uncle is mine.
Perfect, I’m quite interested too.’
Thanks to Pope’s prior preparation and setup, the basement originally used for housing writers became slightly cleaner, along with some books being transferred here for Mr.Teacher and others to read.
Of course, these books were only those that barely passed the library’s threshold, low-grade books.
Even if they are the lowest grade books,
Upon seeing the exquisite design of these books, the teacher and others were still greatly shocked.
Especially the glasses owner, proficient in the way of souls, was immediately stunned by the "Soul Traction" design of the book jackets,
He had never conceived of such a method of drawing souls into the books for immersive reading.
The glasses owner held a book excitedly, saying, "This will surely allow us to harvest and experience completely different life experiences... greatly enhancing our understanding!
Moreover, these books record the life stories of demons, and we can seize this opportunity to deepen our understanding of demons, bringing back more useful intelligence."
Mr.Teacher also nodded in approval:
"Hmm... truly valuable!
However, the risk here has not been ruled out; Han Dong still hides here. Having arrived early, perhaps they are also reading, or hiding in some corner.
I’ll experiment with reading with the glasses owner; you "Bullet" are responsible for security here."
Granny nodded. She wasn’t very interested in reading herself, and in her constantly bleeding eyeballs, only various rotten flesh and bullets appeared... The special vision didn’t suit reading.
When the book was opened.
The soul was drawn into it, and both Mr.Teacher and the glasses owner could appreciate the mysteries within,
Moreover, they could cease reading at any moment. Their conscious selves remained intact during reading, clearly aware they were in the book world, with no traps set among books.
With eager Seeking Knowledge, Mr.Teacher no longer worried about anything and immediately immersed in this first-time-Encountered soul reading.
During reading, there were significant gains; even the black flame within the soul turned more scorching.
"Truly... an incredible reading experience!
Even if we cannot bring this library back to B.B.C, once we complete the escape and transfer everything over, it will be first occupied.
The books here can elevate our overall combat power by one level."
Just as Mr.Teacher finished reading a book, displayed satisfaction and gave it high praise.
Suddenly sensed an off-kilter aura.
When the eight eyes on his forehead opened, his teammates had vanished.
Replaced by a young man with a celestial head, calmly reading a certain book.
