A Strange Multiple Choice Question

After the Library was transformed into Labyrinth, the environment around the Four-Sided Table also changed.

The bookshelves that seemed to spring up out of thin air isolated the Four-Sided Table, leaving only one exit— the Unique exit from the Labyrinth. Although there were no Lights overhead, the area itself was brightly lit.

Due to the sudden change at the Library, Bai Zhi's original completion time was delayed significantly. He had planned for everyone to return with their books within 30 minutes, but he hadn't expected this unexpected turn of events at the Library.

Fortunately, nothing major went wrong in the end.

However, for some reason, Bai Zhi felt that there were two people looking at him with very strange eyes.

One was the Chronicler, the other a woman who A Pure Smile, Shy Blushing Cheeks. It was as if they had made a pact to glance at him every now and then.

With his God's Perspective and complete control over his surroundings, he couldn't hide the other party's subtle actions from him.

And for some reason, both of them looked at him with a rather strange gaze, and Bai Zhi didn't even know how to describe that look in words.

If I absolutely had to describe it in words...

It's like he's the king in the Fairy Tale "The Emperor's New Clothes," who was Deception by those around him and paraded naked through the streets.

He was the king parading above, while the two women below were the spectators unwilling to admit they were fools.

Bai Zhi thought this description was quite apt.

Actually, Bai Zhi felt that some Fairy Tale tales shouldn't be analyzed too deeply.

For example, in the story of the Emperor's New Clothes, everything seems highly absurd—from the sycophantic ministers and the deceitful tailor to the ignorant masses. But if you imagine the king as a queen, the story makes perfect sense...

No, we've gone off on a tangent.

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Bai Zhi shook off the strange illusions and bizarre associations that had been forming in his mind and placed the book he had received on the table.

Although I don't know exactly what happened, let them watch if they want; I'm not going to lose anything anyway...

Without him needing to say anything, after seeing his actions, the others also took out the books they found on the bookshelf.

--Six Anomalous Book located in six different places in the Library.

Then, after everyone placed the Anomalous Book on the table, a strange thing happened. And the book

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the six books automatically Levitation up and then quickly disappeared into the book directly above the center of the Four-Sided Table.

Immediately afterwards, as if a Gale had swept by, the book that Levitation above the Four-Sided Table began to turn its pages rapidly, and after a few seconds, the book was turned to the end.

Then, six blank sheets of paper appeared out of thin air in front of each of them, and a pen also appeared on top of the Destiny Card on the table.

"Hmm... an exam? What are we supposed to write?"

Xia Wen glanced at the white paper and the pen in front of him, then blinked.

Most Anomaly have their own set of rules. Unless you have enough power to completely erase the existence of Anomaly, everyone must abide by Anomaly rules.

Just like those Librarian wandering around Library, unless you are super strong enough to completely shatter the story world constructed by that book with a single punch, you have no way to bypass the rules of Anomaly.

--The Librarian cannot be defeated; once touched by the other party, they will be turned into books without any resistance.

Under the rules inherent in this kind of Anomaly, even if you can smash a mountain with one punch, or kill a million people with one sword, you can never defeat the Librarian. If the librarian touches you, you can only obediently turn into a book.

Unless it's an existence outside of that category, the rules of Anomaly apply equally to everyone.

"Are they asking us to write book reports?"

Looking up at the book on the Four-Sided Table, which had been turned to its last page, the Chronicler began to guess.

"After all, that book has already been finished, which means the story has already been told, so it's unlikely there will be..."

Before the words were even finished, new handwriting slowly appeared on the blank sheet of paper in front of each of them.

[Part 1: In an Apocalypse world, if you could only choose three items from the following Item, what would you choose?]

[1: A long sword that can cut through iron like mud and mud like iron, with infinite durability and never dulling]

[2: A gun with unlimited Bullet that can transform into any gun type]

[3: A first-aid Medical Kit containing any emergency medications and relevant surgical equipment]

[4: Possesses twice the Constitution, speed, and Strength of a human]

[5: One random Skill possessed by oneself]

[6: A random item you possess]

[7: One random Equipment owned by the user]

[8: The ability to communicate with any Life]

[9: Food packs that can be used to take out any food or water]

[Once selected, it cannot be changed]

"What... does this question mean?"

After exchanging glances at the writing on each other's sheets of paper, the Player discovered that everyone had the same question on their sheets of paper.

However, faced with this strange question that suddenly appeared, no one chose to answer it immediately. Instead, they all turned their attention to Bai Zhi.

Why are you all looking at me?

Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi looked somewhat speechless.

"Such a simple question, do you expect me to choose for you?"

"That's right."

As soon as Bai Zhi finished speaking, Xia Wen, the Chronicler, Moonlit Snow, Dark Clouds Part nodded in unison.

Bai Zhi: "..."

Apart from Xia Wen, the others had all seen Type of Anomaly to varying degrees. Although they had never encountered this situation before, they were not without their own speculations.

Clearly, this is not a question that can be answered casually. They might be thrown into the Apocalypse environment described in the question after they make their choices.

Furthermore, judging from the options, they will enter as completely common, without their own attributes, Equipment, Skill, or items. They can only rely on the three things they choose to survive in that Apocalypse world.

Therefore, how to make a choice under these circumstances becomes a very important issue.

After all, even if they could choose nine options, it wouldn't guarantee their safety...

... The Apocalypse?

Does this refer to the Apocalypse of humanity, or the Apocalypse of the world?

The Apocalypse of humanity, in this context, refers to Zombie Crisis, nuclear war, and a series of other impending catastrophes...

That was a world on the verge of destruction, invaded by ghost Anomaly.
