Capítulo 1888: Chapter 1885: Luring the Enemy Deep
“Library?”
Due to the sudden “restriction force field,” Mr. Teacher had considerable reservations about the unknown territory he was about to explore.
After all, since this restriction could effectively affect the Second Incarnation, it indicated that there was likely at least an existence of the same level stationed here.
However.
The situation before them was somewhat unexpected.
During his captivity, Mr. Teacher had read quite a bit of material about demons.
He knew well that this special race had a very strong sense of territoriality, viewing themselves as the apex of the food chain, and looked down upon other species.
Intruding upon the territory of demons like this should have resulted in direct targeted attacks.
But,
the gardener in front of him showed no hostility whatsoever and even extended a benevolent invitation.
The voice of the Glasses Boss came from between his brain:
“Mr. Teacher, the other party’s soul shows no fluctuation and did not lie. They are indeed issuing an invitation to us, but whether the invitation is fundamentally good or bad cannot be judged.
The restriction force field here, which we’ve never seen before, can effectively limit our flight and spatial transmission. Once we delve deep inside, it will be difficult to escape.
Shall we wait for reinforcements to arrive and then go in together?”
The suggestion given by the Glasses Boss was relatively rational, but the wait required a long time, as it would take at least two months for the nearest ship that had received the support signal to sail over.
After thinking for a while, Mr. Teacher made a decision.
“Let’s go in and take a look; it might turn out to be an unexpected opportunity for us… This building has already lost contact with S-01, likely abandoned for some reason, with the previous manager possibly no longer existing, leaving only the corresponding restrictive measures.
You should save a trick in case you encounter risks that can’t be assessed on the way to the library, and retreat immediately if needed.”
“Alright.”
The reason Mr. Teacher decided to explore was quite simple… Initially, they did not know what such an ancient and magnificent building was, whether it resembled a biological castle or an ancient flesh hatchery.
It was completely unexpected that such a building would actually be a [Library].
Both the construction features and its age went beyond Mr. Teacher’s understanding.
As a fellow ‘Seeker of Knowledge,’ who also loves reading various books and often gains important insights from them, Mr. Teacher could not resist such a temptation in front of him.
Even…
he wouldn’t hesitate to put the “Second Incarnation” in danger.
He was eager to see what kind of books were stored in such an ancient library.
“By the way, can you accurately locate [Han Dong]’s soul position?”
“I can’t, perhaps due to the library’s restrictive effect, or maybe he himself has undergone some changes.
The soul signals he emits have become vague, and we can only confirm that he is hidden within this area, but cannot accurately position him.”
“Hmm…”
Naturally, having been tricked once, Mr. Teacher was much more cautious, even to the extent of scrutinizing the gardener in front of him multiple times, secretly employing the “Preaching” ability to covertly subjugate the soul body.
As they were led through the enormous front garden by the gardener.
Some sort of unique library monitoring device was collecting their data.
Not hidden cameras in every corner, nor the shared eyeballs growing on the gardener,
but something more advanced, created by the Yellow Robe, completely integrated into the library area—the “Eye of the Soul.”
This eye could clearly monitor any area and simultaneously detect the soul state of individuals… With the presence of this Eye of the Soul, it could effectively ensure the stable state of the library, and for any borrower trying to cause trouble within the library, it could foresee and restrict them through their soul state in advance.
The surveillance information was transmitted via the Swollen Doctor into the brains of Han Dong and others.
The obtained partial intelligence on the out of control individuals was as follows:
1. A large demon covered in black muscles, with eight symmetrical eyes on the head and a pair of “big wings” on the back that were difficult to analyze structurally.
It also possessed a rare ‘heterochromatic soul,’ with its soul body being pure black and the edges exhibiting a distinctive flame outline.
Level estimation – “Middle Rank”
2. A common-looking, middle-aged man wearing glasses.
On the surface, there was nothing special about him, but his soul was even more special than the leader’s.
He belonged to the rarer ‘Twin Souls,’
with one soul wearing glasses coordinating with the body, carrying out normal activities.
The other soul, regardless of appearance, form, or emitted aura, was entirely different, even somewhat indistinct under the concealment of the main soul.
Only a glimpse of a reptilian creature could be seen, simultaneously pressing multiple ears to the ground as if engaged in some kind of soul perception… even able to sense the monitoring behavior of the “Eye of the Soul.”
Level estimation – “Lower”
3. An old lady with both eyes hollowed out, her body cloaked in a camouflage coat, walking with steel-pin legs.
The camouflage coat was made of a special out of control material, capable of greatly obstructing soul perspective.
Only vaguely could a mass of rotten, cursed flesh be seen piled inside the cloak, and during the perspective viewing, faintly chilling laughter from an elderly person could be heard.
Level estimation – “Lower.”
….
Upon receiving the information,
the gardener leading the way showed a trace of a smile on his face.
They arrived at the red long bridge leading to the library.
“Beyond here is not an area I can step into. Once you cross the long bridge and reach the interior of the library, internal personnel will naturally receive you.”
The gardener had no intention of following further.
This action somewhat relieved Mr. Teacher’s concerns.
When they crossed the bridge, they did not fall vertically into the depths or receive scrutiny from The House of Representatives.
Han Dong had long since used the library’s privileges to open the door for them in advance… For those about to die, there was no need for scrutiny, nor any need to let them see The House of Representatives’ circumstances.
Once the three out of control individuals had completely entered the library and the doors closed,
the gardener standing at the other end of the long bridge immediately revealed a long-restrained manic laughter.
“Hahaha! What a coincidence, Mr. Teacher, you’re here again? Luckily, I had done some preparation beforehand.”
Disguised as the gardener, Han Dong, directly pulled out a mimetic ghoul affected by “Preaching” from within his body.
“This is so embarrassing for me, your incarnation seems stronger… If it’s killed again, would you get so angry that you die in advance, leaving no room for fun?”
Finding out unexpectedly that the pursuers were out of control individuals led by Mr. Teacher put Han Dong into an unprecedented ecstatic state.
He just wanted to try out whether his new “True Form” could deceive the opponent once more.
With a swift transformation,
He assumed the appearance of an internal library staff member and traversed a secret designer pathway to once again head into the library’s interior to receive Mr. Teacher’s party.
