Zheng Yan is a Fire Attribute warrior. He is a typical fighter with high attack and low defense. It is said that close combat is his weakness.

But that depends on who you are competing with. Fire Attribute knows their own weaknesses, so it is normal to learn a few close defense moves.

Zheng Yan has a dagger hanging on his waist because he is accomplished in this area.

He doesn't think that his close combat skills are much worse than Modified Warrior.

He had been caught off guard just now, and now the dagger was thrust out as fast as he could.

Even if he couldn't hurt this bastard, the opponent would have to defend, so he would have a chance to fight back.

However, this powerful thrust actually hit an empty space without being blocked. He was immediately stunned, "Is this?"

Immediately afterwards, his right wrist was clamped by an iron clamp, and then his whole body flew up.

Qu Jianlei didn't use any special magic, it was just Mental Influence.

The opponent first missed the fireball, and then decided to take it hard. This was all due to the mental interference he exerted.

Zheng Yan thought his reaction speed was acceptable, but in fact that was an illusion, his reaction was really a little slow.

Including that his dagger stabbed crookedly, the main culprit was that his mind was disturbed.

However, Qu Jianlei's movements are really fast, and with Wind Attribute's body skills, he can completely abuse the opponent just by fighting hand-to-hand.

As for whether the other party can feel his mental fluctuations... Are you kidding? He is Rank A, and the other party is just B.

Between the suppression of cultivation and the gap in micro-management ability, he really wasn't worried that the other party would realize it.

After knocking off the dagger, he followed up with a series of punches and kicks. The blows were like a storm, making it impossible for the opponent to fight back.

If anyone could see this scene, their eyes would probably pop out.

A dignified Rank B Warrior was actually beaten with fists and feet, just like the gangsters fighting on the street? Finally he stopped punching and kicking, and Zheng Yan shook his head. Even the rain in the sky couldn't extinguish the anger in his heart.

"Asshole, you are dead, no one can save you!"

At this moment, a roar came from not far away, "How brave you are, how dare you run into the library and act wild!"

The person who shouted was not bad, at least Rank B.

Zheng Yan then realized that he had come to the library to cause trouble, so he turned around and ran away without thinking.

However, the next moment, there was a scream, and a golden arrow shot quickly into his vest.

The one that shot was a Metal Attribute C level. Although the level was a little low, its ability to break through defenses was extremely high.

Zheng Yan's body flashed, and a blood flower appeared on his shoulder, but he ignored it and rushed out without looking back.

This is when the library staff went out to have lunch and rushed back after hearing the noise.

There was originally a canteen in the library courtyard, but it suffered a fire sixty years ago, and the canteen was later moved to a shop facing the street.

At noon, everyone was busy replenishing calories, and with the light rain falling, they could still have a few drinks.

When they found out something happened in the library, they hurried back.

The whole process didn't even last a minute, but so much happened in the library.

Qu Jianlei found out that someone was coming, and immediately left quietly in a flash. He just wants to do his job.

There are at least three Rank B in the library, which is enough to deal with the opponent, and he doesn't need to add any extraneous details.

On the way back, he also picked up the opponent's dagger, hiding his merit and fame.

As for whether anyone has discovered that he is Mental Attribute Rank A, Qu Jianlei thinks it is not very likely.

After all, there are not many Ability Warriors from Rank A. There is only one Rank A Old Lady Jia in the library, and we are hunting down another Rank A.

They are some devices that detect energy fluctuations, which may make him unable to detect them, and the distribution of the devices is irregular.

However, today is a rainy day and most of the equipment will be disturbed.

For Qu Jianlei, what he encountered today was a little troublesome. The key was that he didn't want to expose his skills.

But if he really wanted to deal with it, he would have more than ten or eight different ways to deal with it.

But since it was raining, he would be lazy and directly use Mental Strength to interfere with the opponent, and then use his old punches.

The method is a little vulgar and not at all the manner of Ability Warrior, but it works.

Qu Jianlei returned to the door and did not continue reading. It would be abnormal for him to remain calm after such a big movement.

So he stood under the eaves, lit a cigarette, and looked around curiously while smoking.

At Buduo, some of the people who had been chasing him came back with an angry look on their face.

These people couldn't keep up with Zheng Yan's speed, and they were afraid that something would happen to the library again, so they had no choice but to withdraw.

Anyway, there are still people chasing the other party, City Garrison also rushed over, the other party should not be able to escape.

Then the losses were counted. Rare Books Building was full of people, and some people were standing in the rain talking.

It's not that everyone has nothing to do, but the security level of Rare Books Building is relatively high, and many people are not qualified to enter.

Qu Jianlei was standing there watching, and someone came over to greet him, "You, come in Rare Books Building and help tidy it up."

Qu Jianlei pointed at himself in surprise, "Me? I'm temporary."

"As long as you're a librarian," the person who greeted him didn't want to say anything more.

Qu Jianlei looked at the door behind him, "Then this borrowing..."

"With such a big incident, why are you borrowing anything?" The man replied casually, "Don't close the door, someone will come and guard it."

"Oh," Qu Jianlei Diandian nodded, and followed this person into Rare Books Building.

At Buduo, two people did come to guard the main building, not allowing anyone else to enter, and also rejecting people who came to borrow books.

After another while, someone came over to investigate what happened in the main building when the attack occurred at noon.

No one knows what happened here, but they generally know that someone was in the main building at the time and the protective shield was opened.

The investigators took a general look at the situation of the main building and found that there was no damage, so they did not continue to ask questions.

So no one knows that Rank B Warrior was beaten into a gourd by Qu Jianlei.

Later in the evening, Old Lady Jia came back, looking very unhappy.

Not only did she lose track of the person, she was also detained by City Garrison for questioning for a long time because she was flying in the city.

In the evening, City Patrol came to the library to investigate the damage to the library.

The responsibilities of Patrol and City Guards are different. Patrol is more technical and has strong investigative capabilities.

However, libraries are a bit repulsive about this. They are self-contained and have a high level of confidentiality.

In societies with more supernatural powers, relatively independent departments are more willing to handle problems themselves.

The investigation was not completed until the end of the day.

Qu Jianlei But I don't want to stay any longer. It's only four hundred yuan a month. You can't expect me to work overtime, right?

When he was about to leave, he happened to see Dave, so he said hello and said that he was going home.

After all, he was still not used to sneaking out quietly and wanted to get off work openly.

Dave was quite surprised, "Such a big thing happened, you want to go home?"

Qu Jianlei Diandian said, "Anyway, the main building I'm responsible for is fine. Can you let me stay and give you overtime pay?"

Overtime pay... You are so embarrassed to ask. The doctor shook his head, "There is no funding."

"Yes," Qu Jianlei wanted to lock the door of the main building, but found that someone was still there, so he turned around and left.

When he went to work the next day, he learned that Rank B Warrior had been captured by City Garrison and was being interrogated.

In the morning, the assistant to the leader Old District came, and someone from City Library also came to understand what happened yesterday.

People were coming and going, Qu Jianlei was embarrassed to be fishing in public, and the borrowing was suspended, so he watched from a distance.

He listened to all kinds of news, and finally found out that Top Secret Archive was stolen.

Top secret is the highest level of security in the library, which is also found in the main building. It contains a series of books related to the latest technology and economy of the empire.

The top secrets of Rare Books Building are antique-level. Although most of them are copies, it is difficult to say whether there are originals.

Qu Jianlei After hearing this, an inexplicable thought came to his mind.

If something like this suddenly happened in the library, could it be because of my evil physique?

Ah, what are you thinking... But what exactly is stored in the top-secret library that actually provokes Rank A to take action openly? Near noon, City Garrison escorted Zheng Yan to identify the scene.

After Zheng Yan was arrested, City Garrison threatened him a little, and he confessed honestly.

In the empire, Ability Warrior is a rare resource. Except for the most heinous crimes, most of them will not be sentenced to death.

He did not participate in the destruction of this incident. He was only responsible for responding to the incident, and his responsibility was not great.

Even if he killed Qu Jianlei in a rage, he would not be sentenced to death - the temporary librarian registered as an ordinary person.

So he confessed very cheerfully and strived to alleviate the task of atonement.

After pointing out the scene all the way, Zheng Yan arrived at the main building.

He did not deny that he had launched an attack on the main building, because denial was useless, and the elemental fluctuations had already shown this.

But he didn't attack the door, but missed it... This is also an objective fact.

He didn't say it was his mistake, he just said he missed it on purpose - to have a stronger desire to survive but not to be embarrassed.

Anyway, the building was already on defense at that time, and his attack was blocked by the shield.

Normally, the explanation would be enough here, but in order to show that he was less harmful, he took the initiative to mention the librarian.

In his words, if he wanted to take action, the door was wide open at that time, and the temporary worker was just a Modified Warrior.

But he did not take action. Faced with the attack from the temporary workers, he only adopted passive defense.

The logic is very clear: If Rank B Warrior really wanted to take action, wouldn't Modified Warrior have died long ago? Fortunately, Qu Jianlei saw him coming and took the initiative to hide in the crowd in order not to attract attention.

However, when City Garrison heard this, he wanted to find the librarian and let the two sides confront him.

Qu Jianlei could only bite the bullet and come out. He did not refute the other party's statement, but just briefly talked about his actions.

Someone else proved that when Zheng Yan was found, he was indeed some distance away from the main building.

Dave walked up to Qu Jianlei and asked in a low voice, "The curator asked me to ask you, why did you fill in the identity as an ordinary person?"
