Chapter 382: Chapter 254 Son of Heaven’s Summon Order_1

[...You have arrived on the thirteenth floor of the library.]

[As you wander once again in the outer corridor, everything around you becomes distorted and folded, almost illusory. You feel as if you’re walking on a muddy yellow marsh road, your ears filled with the screams of countless vengeful spirits, all persuading and threatening you to halt...]

[Suddenly you hear the sound of high heels nearby, followed by an angry shout.]

[You have been discovered by Madame McKenna!]

[But before she gets close to you, a ghostly monster trailing behind her brandishes an ax, charging at you...]

"Rewind!"

Mu You quickly presses his pocket watch.

[Time rewinds, bringing you five seconds into the past.]

[Knowing that an admin is approaching, you quickly freeze in place and quickly enter deep stealth mode.]

[The admin, carrying a lantern, passes by you once again, continuing patrol towards the downstairs floor...]

That admin, who seemingly had a heart of steel and patrolled the entire night, mopving up and down tirelessly, left Mu You speechless with her dedication.

More importantly, as he climbed higher, his game character seemed to start showing signs of insanity. His ’san’ value plummeted, his mental state was worrisome, and any prompts related to footsteps became increasingly unclear.

Previously, at least, he was still left with some time to react. But this time, they didn’t give him any indication until he ran into someone.

Thankfully, he had the pocket watch, which provided a considerably high margin for error.

After that, under the interference of these two beings, Mu You managed to painstakingly reach the fifteenth floor.

[...You have completed five rounds at the corridor on Fifteenth floor, then ascended the staircase leading to the sixteenth floor.]

[As you stepped onto the staircase and thought you had reached the sixteenth floor, you discover that the floor sign in front of you is not ’16’, but ’15½’.]

[Stepping into this hidden floor, you find yourself in a completely new reading room.]

[This is the mysterious mezzanine hidden within the Red Rose Library, known in campus legends as the ’Silent Library’. Those who dare to enter here are all seekers wishing to peer into the sealed history. Remember the rules here, make no sound, or it could lead to unimaginable consequences!]

[In a space spanning hundreds of square meters, just like an ordinary reading room, there are numerous bookshelves, each one filled with books covered in dust. Each book stores forever indelible histories and legend stories.]

[The moment you step into the reading room, you immediately hear a multitude of beastly breathing sounds from the roof, separated by a wall. Each growl and exhale sounds clear in your ears.]

"Finally made it in..."

Seeing the text indicating his successful entry into the Silent Library, Mu You breathes a sigh of relief. Without having time to relax, he immediately clicked on the ’Search Curse’ in the magic column of the panel.

A text box pops up, and Mu You types in ’City of Dawn’.

[You wave your magic wand, casting the search curse, searching within the reading room for any content related to ’City of Dawn’.]

[Magical power fluctuates, countless symbols and texts from the Star Spirit World emerge from the books around, spinning rapidly in front of you like a kaleidoscope. But to avoid being detected by the creatures on the roof, you can only suppress your magical power output, thus greatly slowing down your search.]

[Searching in progress, expected to finish in 2 minutes and 34 seconds...]

"Does it really need this long?"

Mu You was taken aback. It was currently 12:46 AM on Friday, and the search only needed two and a half minutes, it should be able to finish comfortably before 1:00 AM.

However, the problem was that there were still two patrolling creatures wandering outside, who knows when they would come up again.

Sure enough, similar text popped up in the game at that moment.

[Due to the vast amount of information stored within the reading room, the search curse takes more time than you anticipate. If you cannot complete the search by the time Madame Mckenna conducts her next inspection upstairs, the dissipating magical power from your search, which will surely grab the attention of the Silent Beasts that follow her.]

[At that time, you will be cornered by furious Silent Beasts within the reading room, torn to pieces, and permanently turned into a ghost.]

[Now you still have time to abandon the search and leave. Do you wish to stop now?]

"No!"

After all the trouble of running around all night, I must see the result.

Moreover, Mu You has teleportation magic. Even if he really gets trapped by the Silent Beasts in the reading room, he can always put down a Dark Teleportation Array on the spot and flee.

Then comes the agonising wait.

The first two minutes passed without any issues.

However, as soon as the countdown entered the last thirty seconds, things went awry.

[Footsteps sound outside the door once again.]

[Madam McKenna once again comes to the near staircase of the floor, and this time, the Silent Beast trailing behind her detect the unusual presence upstairs, immediately letting out an angry roar!]

[Accompanied by this roar, you felt the previously peaceful Silent Beasts on the roof going into frenzy, cries of the beasts resounding around.]

[You feel the breathing of beasts on the roof rapidly approaching you, it’s obvious. You’ve been discovered and need to leave immediately!]

I am discovered again.

However, since I’ve been discovered, there’s no need for pretenses anymore.
