Non-Flammable Material
"... Did you hear any strange noises?"
Turning his head with a slightly puzzled look, the Chronicler asked Xia Wen, who was standing to the side.
"How could there be... in this Library that has become Labyrinth?"
Before she could finish speaking, another gong sounded, followed by a long, languid voice.
"The three souls leave the body, the seven spirits rise, and the Living People Evade— "
"Good heavens, the night watchman has turned into a corpse-transporter..."
The Chronicler's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the Librarian at the door who had been drawn by the sound of the gong, and he stood up from the ground.
There's no need to guess anymore; she already knows who that guy who changed jobs twice in the dark and quiet Library Labyrinth is.
Among the six Player, besides Black&White, who else could be so... flamboyant?
Since the other party is confident in luring these Librarian away, they must also have a way to escape, so there's no need for them to worry too much.
About a minute later, a figure appeared in front of them, carrying a Bronze Gong in his hand.
"Alright, have you gotten all the books?"
Bai Zhi glanced at the two people in front of him and nodded slightly.
"Hurry up, we need to get back... Oh, is something wrong?"
Looking at the Chronicler in front of him who was looking him up and down for some reason, Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Cough cough... It's nothing."
His face inexplicably flushed, and he coughed a few times. The Chronicler then turned his head to look away as if nothing had happened.
"I'm just a little surprised that you found this place so quickly."
"The Galaxy is also a river, and Labyrinth is just a matter of making choices multiple times; it's simply a matter of Probability Theory."
With a slight shrug, Bai Zhi turned around and took the lead, walking forward.
"We have ten minutes before the fourth story begins. We need to find the others within ten minutes and then return to the Four-Sided Table."
"Probability Theory... What does Labyrinth have to do with Probability Theory?"
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and the Chronicler quickly caught up with the other person's pace.
"To be honest, I thought you were going to set Torch Library on fire..."
"Oh, that was indeed my initial idea, but then I discovered that this Labyrinth Library is filled entirely with Boruto."
Bai Zhi answered calmly.
"... Well?"
"Boruto is Non-Flammable Material; it won't catch fire even if you wanted to."
Xia Wen ran a few steps to Bai Zhi's side and stretched out his hand to Bai Zhi with an expectant look on his face.
"By the way, can I borrow your Bronze Gong to strike?"
"Here, knock anywhere."
Bai Zhi casually handed the Bronze Gong and drumsticks to the other party, looking completely indifferent.
He naturally noticed the unusual events that occurred at the Library immediately.
Previously, when the Shadow Guard were all wiped out at the same time, the Shadow Puppet he sent out also happened to obtain the sixth book... It's hard to say whether there is any connection between the two.
Shadow Guard cannot touch books, but Shadow Puppet can.
The Labyrinth couldn't hold him back, but considering that others were still trapped Labyrinth, the Shadow Puppet's Skill consumed twice the Spiritual Energy, and the next story was about to begin, Bai Zhi ultimately chose to enter in his main body.
... Perhaps the ominous feeling I had earlier was because of this Library Labyrinth?
But for some reason, he always felt that the gaze of the Chronicler beside him held a strange undertone...
With God's Perspective, everything happening around you is clearly visible.
As the drumsticks fell, another gong rang out within the Labyrinth, and then...
"The Yin Soldiers borrows a path; the living must retreat—"
With Bai Zhi and Xia Wen providing dual audio, the Chronicler walking alongside felt a chill run down his spine.
Some things can be grounded in reality, but not in the Underworld. But these two in front of us are more than just Underworld; they're practically connected to Hell...
It's strange, though. When they were following behind Instant earlier, they were still careful and vigilant about their surroundings. They didn't dare to bang on the drums or even make a loud voice.
But even though she's become so flamboyant now, and the three of them have come together, looking at Black&White walking lazily at the front, she felt inexplicably at ease, as if she had nothing to fear no matter what happened, and felt completely safe.
To be honest, the feeling was quite strange; it was the first time the Chronicler had ever experienced this sensation...
--The feeling of clinging to someone's coattails.
Some people are like that; no matter how bad their situation, just seeing the other person makes others feel inexplicably at ease... like Jotaro Kujo.
Soon, as they passed an intersection, a Librarian was drawn to the passageway on the left.
Before the two of them could do anything, Bai Zhi, who was walking in front, waved his hand, and then they clearly saw that the Librarian's movements slowed down several times over.
If it used to take them a maximum of two seconds to pounce, now it will take them at least six seconds to get to them.
"Stop looking at https://www. hetushu. com. com, it's just a simple Slow Spell. Anomaly have some resistance to this kind of Support magic, it might wear off at any time, you guys hurry up."
After giving a brief reminder to the two people behind him, Bai Zhi walked straight past the Librarian who was stuck in Triple Time Zone.
Although the fixed Time Zone created by the [Clock] is only one cubic meter, its placement is arbitrary. A fixed Time Zone means that its Time Zone is fixed, but it does not mean that the Time Zone cannot be moved.
Based on this alone, Bai Zhi was confident he could control these Librarian to the point of exhaustion...
So, Xia Wen and the Chronicler traveled quite easily and happily along the way, without having to worry about the Librarian who might suddenly appear out of nowhere, because Bai Zhi, who was walking in front, took care of them.
Two minutes later, Instant found them... and then joined the cheerleading squad, since there was really nothing for him to do.
Five minutes later, led by Bai Zhi, the group of four returned to the Four-Sided Table in the center of the Library.
As for Moonlit Snow, Dark Clouds Part and A Pure Smile, Shy Blushing Cheeks, they were the first Player to return to the Four-Sided Table. When the four of them returned, the other person was already sitting in their chair.
Having grown up in a world fraught with danger, where they had to be constantly vigilant, the Chronicler were far less experienced than the other party in dealing with such emergencies.
"Alright, take all the books out."
Bai Zhi glanced at the book Levitation directly above the Four-Sided Table, then reached out and pulled out a chair, sitting down in it.
"We have three minutes before the next story begins."
