Edberg was found quickly.
Or to be precise, Edberg contacted Guti on his own initiative.
When Guti told the other party what happened in the cafeteria, the head chef was obviously silent for a second before taking a deep breath.
"very good!"
"2567 You passed my test."
"Now you are a member of the cafeteria in District E, but... without my permission, you will not be able to enter the food delivery room!"
Even through the communicator, Guti could imagine the gritted teeth of the head chef at the moment.
And Qin Ran, who had expected it for a long time, put the last piece of beef on the plate into his mouth, and then slowly asked, "I'm a 'tester', if I'm not in the dish delivery room, where is it?"
Anticipation does not mean acceptance.
Qin Ran was fighting for the last possibility for himself.
It's a pity that Edberg completely ignored Qin Ran's rebuttal.
"You can stay wherever you want!"
"But you are not allowed to enter the kitchen!"
After speaking, the communicator was interrupted.
There was anger in the words, but more anxiety.
Kieran looked at the disconnected communicator, raised his right hand and pinched his chin, his eyes slightly thoughtful.
"Is it "Guan Shilu"?"
Previously, Edberg connected to the communicator after Qin Ran entered the food delivery room.
The other party thought that with the thick, sound-proof door of the kitchen serving as a barrier, it was impossible for Qin Ran to hear what he said.
So, there is no more cover-up, just lowering the voice.
But for Qin Ran, who has advanced perception, let alone a door, as long as it is within a certain range, even if it is separated by several layers of walls, it is still clear to the ear, even if the door is substantially smaller than the door. The same goes for several layers of walls and soundproofing.
However, Qin Ran is most concerned about what happened!
You must know that the rumor that Rude asked two of his subordinates to take a walk before was also about "Guan Shilu", but Qin Ran did not believe that those two students could have such a great ability, and they turned false into truth in just one day, making Special Olympics Rhett's teachers all started to mobilize. If the other party really had such an ability, it would be impossible for Ruud to control it.
To put it simply, if Rude's blind cat hadn't met a dead mouse, it happened to meet "Guan Shilu" that appeared in people's field of vision at this time, or...someone was fueling the flames!
The former had too many coincidences, Kieran would not believe it.
And the latter
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.
Rude was for the 'dinner' level of food in the 'Delton Laboratory', and after the other party was killed by the superior evil spirit, this goal became his.
So, what is that pusher for
Questions pop up in my mind unconsciously.
This made Qin Ran realize that he had to go to the library again to check what kind of item "Guan Shilu" was.
Yesterday's search, Qin Ran, who focused most of his attention on collecting information, did not find any records about "Guan Shilu", and the information obtained by the upper evil spirit from Ru De was also very vague, and he could only confirm "Guan Shilu". "Food Record" seems to be a very high-level cookbook.
As for more
no more.
Even Rude's knowledge of "Guan Shilu" is just a casual chat from Professor Delton.
"This is for you."
After Qin Ran said something to Guti who had been standing beside him, he walked towards the restaurant on the ground.
Guti could see that Qin Ran should be doing something important.
However, she did not ask.
The two parties did not have that level of personal relationship.
Moreover, the next thing is enough for Guti to have a headache.
Looking at the serving room occupied by plates and chopsticks, Guti sighed and picked up the communicator.
"Shelley told everyone it was settled."
"besides… "
"Get two people down."
…
Qin Ran was unaware of Guti's busyness. He returned to the apartment and took the three borrowed books with him. When he arrived at the library in District E, the sky had completely darkened.
The library is still brightly lit, but there are very few people inside.
Nights in Theoret were not peaceful.
It is clearly marked on the first page of the student handbook: Students below the fourth grade are prohibited from appearing on the streets of Theoret at night.
And last night, Kieran had already learned a little bit why.
Kieran was noncommittal about the way Theoret arranged similar monsters as a test method.
If you choose to be a maverick, then you must have the corresponding strength.
Those who have no strength but want to insist on being special, such a person will probably not understand what wrong decision they have made until the moment of death.
Showing the school badge to the guard of the night library, Qin Ran walked to the service desk that was already empty, followed the instructions above and put the books in the night return basket, and swept the outside of the basket with the school badge. After the words Returned appeared on the monitor outside the basket, Kieran walked towards the east area on the first floor.
Reading last night, Qin Ran has already had a general understanding of the arrangement of books on the first floor of the library. Although the east area is marked with history, geography, humanities, etc., it has a lot of miscellaneous books, which is different from the south area and west area. , The professional books in the North District are completely different.
One bookshelf after another.
Qin Ran carefully found the bottom.
After checking all the bookshelves, it was already an hour later.
The result was nothing.
Shaking his head slightly, Qin Ran, who had been prepared in his heart, walked towards the second floor.
In the stairwell at the corner of the second floor, a glass door blocked Kieran's way.
Unlike the first floor, which is open to all students, special permissions are required to enter the second floor of the library, including but not limited to the head students of each grade, members of the student council, and so on.
He took out the school badge and flicked it on the sensor in front of the glass door.
Quietly, the glass door opened to both sides, revealing a passageway big enough for one person to walk along.
Qin Ran walked past and went straight to the second floor.
After about two minutes, Qin Ran confirmed that the layout of the second floor of the e-library was exactly the same as that of the first floor.
Without any pause, Kieran walked towards the east area on the second floor.
Without an index as a premise, Qin Ran could only follow the previous method and start to search for books that might be related to "Guan Shilu" bit by bit, and would pull out a book from time to time to look through the catalog.
Under such a premise, Kieran's speed is of course not fast.
Even slower than on the first floor.
After all, Qin Ran had roughly browsed the books on the first floor last night, and at least had corresponding memories, while the second floor was completely unfamiliar.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
Qin Ran didn't show any impatience.
As patient and calm as the beginning.
And when he browsed halfway through the bookshelves in the east area of the second floor, he suddenly stopped, turned his head slightly, and looked at the end of the passage formed by the two-story bookshelves.
A white, gloomy figure appeared there.
The long hair hangs straight down, covering the face.
Squeak!
Amidst the sound of electricity, a bright light suddenly flashed.
Although it lit up immediately, the brief darkness seemed to endow the white figure with a teleporting speed. When the light appeared again, the white figure had already appeared in front of where Qin Ran should have been standing, crooked. He shook his head, twisted his neck, and made a clicking, clicking sound.
Can…
Qin Ran was no longer there.
There was no expected fright and screaming, and there were only bookshelves and books in front of the other party.
The sudden accident made the other party stunned.
Then, the other party heard a questioning sound from behind.
"Do you know where there is a record in "Guan Shilu"?"
The voice is calm and steady.
The other party turned around immediately, looked at the man standing behind him, and let out a low laugh. The laughter was sharp and piercing, as if stretching out his fingernails and scratching across the blackboard.
"Do you think I'm pretty?"
In the gloomy voice of the other party, the long hair that had been covering his face flew back like this, revealing the other party's face.
It was swollen and rotten. When Kieran looked at this face, something like a pustule burst open from the other's face, and yellow-green juice flowed out.
Qin Ran looked at all this with a blank face, and he asked again: "Do you know where there is a record in "Guan Shilu"?"
"Do you think I'm pretty?"
The other party didn't seem to hear Qin Ran's words, and asked again.
Moreover, more pustules burst open on the opponent's face, and some maggots even squirmed out in some places.
Qin Ran frowned after failing to get the desired answer twice.
Then, he changed the way he asked.
boom!
Qin Ran raised his foot and stepped on that face.
The white figure fell heavily to the ground, and the already ugly and ferocious face immediately became more and more inhuman after being hit hard.
Moreover, Kieran did not stop.
Bang, bang, bang!
Foot after foot, foot after foot.
Amidst the blood and flesh flying everywhere, there was a voice like a breath of air coming from Qin Ran's feet.
"wait wait wait!"
"I know where the books about "Guan Shilu" are!"
…
"Terrible! It's really terrible!"
Steinert flipped through the secret record of Theorite that he had just bought from a third-year at a high price.
Although Steinert worked hard to collect the corresponding information when he came to Theoret, but the outside world knows too little about the mysterious Theoreter. Even though Steinert worked very hard, the collected The information is still not enough to deal with the troubles he may encounter in Theoret.
Therefore, after officially becoming a student of Theoret, he spent more energy and money to collect all the information he could.
And there are definitely not a few people like Steinert.
Therefore, many senior students will make a small fortune at this time.
"What's wrong?"
Micah, who was already about to fall asleep, heard Steinert's exclamation, and immediately jumped down from the upper bunk, looking vigilant.
As the deputy of the chief student, the two were naturally assigned to the same room.
Different from the single room of the chief student, ordinary students need four to six people together, and use the common living room and washroom.
But the deputy of the chief student is better. Two people can use an apartment, and there is a separate reception room and washroom.
"Look here!"
"The torturers in the library!"
Facing the awakened Micah, Steiner immediately handed over the note in his hand.
Micah, who understood what happened in an instant, looked at Steiner with dissatisfaction, but still took the notes. Two days of getting along was enough for him to understand how difficult his lower berth was, if he didn't read it , the other party will definitely buzz around his ears like flies all night.
In order to allow himself to sleep a little longer, Mica planned to perfunctory the other party, but after seeing the above record, Mica couldn't help but sneered.
"On Monday nights in the e-zone library, there is a high chance that a torturer will appear on the second floor. It will ask you if it is beautiful (white clothes, black hair covering the face, ugly face, and hideous according to rumor records), if you Say it's beautiful against your will, and it'll yell that dishonest people shouldn't speak anymore, and pull out your tongue and tear it off."
"But if you honestly say that it is ugly, it will say that people who judge people by their appearance are not worthy of speaking, and then they will pull out your tongue and tear it off."
"Are you kidding me?!"
"This kind of pretentious record, would you believe it?"
Micah tossed the note in his hand to Steinert, and jumped onto the upper bunk with a push.
"Why don't you believe me?"
"You must know that this place is Theriot!"
"The rumored Theoret that connects the 'secret realm' and reality!"
Stent got up, stood on the ground, and emphasized to Micah who was lying on the upper bunk.
"That's right!"
"I know this is Theoret, the magical, mysterious and dangerous Theoret!"
"However, things like urban legends like torturers are just rumors spread by people, and most of them are fools like you fooled by boring people."
While talking, Micah pulled up the quilt, ready to continue sleeping, but was stopped by Stent right away.
"The torturer is not an urban legend. It says that the torturer was originally a kind-hearted student. He became a torturer after an accident happened in the library of District E. Moreover, according to the rumors, as long as someone can 'save' the torturer If you do, you will be rewarded generously!"
Stent pulled Micah's quilt and emphasized.
"Did that accident mean that the torturer liked a certain male student, and in the end, he was killed by a girl who also liked that boy before he confessed? And, before he died, he was disfigured? And the girl who killed her always Didn't want to do it at first, just because of carelessness?"
Mica, who was pulled by the quilt, looked at Steiner angrily.
"how do you know?"
Steiner flipped through the back of the notes and looked at Micah in surprise.
"I can make up ten of these third-rate stories for you in a minute."
"Now forget about that unreliable 'torturer' and go to bed right away."
"Don't forget that tomorrow is our first class!"
Micah rolled his eyes and covered himself again with the quilt.
Looking at Micah who had completely wrapped himself up tightly, Steinert didn't pull the other person's quilt any more. At this time, he also began to doubt the authenticity of the existence of the torturer.
However, this did not make Steiner put down the notes in his hand. He dimmed the light and continued to lean on the bed to read carefully.
…
On the second floor of the library in Zone E, under the bright lights, after the torturer got up from Qin Ran's feet, his long black hair was combed neatly behind his head, and his ugly and ferocious appearance had long since disappeared, replaced by What he had was an above-average appearance, and matched with a white dress, he looked gentle and quiet.
"Thank you for 'saving' me. I don't really want to be a 'torturer', it's just the obsession in my heart that makes me involuntarily..."
boom!
Before the torturer could finish his words, Kieran stepped on his whole body again.
Immediately, more direct words came from under the soles of the shoes.
"I'll take you to find books related to "Guan Shilu"!"
