The moment these thoughts appeared in his mind.
The body moved as if on conditioned reflex, showing flexibility beyond this body type.
He raised his legs and ran towards the bar.
If there is anyone who can save him now, it is only Wang Min, an old employee.
The other party can live here for so long.
There must be a way to protect yourself.
However, it was too late.
He just rushed out of the bookshelf and saw the figure of Wang Min in the distance.
Countless hairs sprang out from behind and wrapped around his legs like poisonous snakes.
This also caused him to fall directly to the ground due to inertia.
He wanted to shout.
But his throat seemed to be strangled by invisible hands, unable to make any sound.
He slapped the ground desperately, his nails scraping on the tiles making a harsh sound, but he still couldn't make Wang Min in the distance look back.
The hair was tangled tighter and tighter, wrapping him up like a cocoon.
Ma Shuo showed a trace of despair in his eyes.
Soon, the last ray of light was completely swallowed up.
"What a fool! He triggered the rules so quickly!"
At the library bar, Wang Min smiled and helped a customer complete the purchase of books.
Silently, he stuffed the stack of yellow paper money he received into the cashier.
Then, he turned to look at the location of Ma Shuo, and his expression returned to indifference.
From his angle, he could just see the other person.
However, now Ma Shuo has completely disappeared.
Instead, there was a huge sphere wrapped in a cocoon of countless black hairs.
The sphere is clinging to the wall and slowly blending into it.
Apparently the rules were triggered.
However, this rule is not fatal.
If someone is willing to take the risk and find something to cut those hairs within ten seconds, it may not be impossible to rescue the other party.
However, how do you know so clearly?
Wang Min shook his head.
Get the thought out of your head.
I don't know why, but some information about various hidden rules always appears in his mind.
This is also the main reason why he can live here for so long.
He knows all the hidden rules here.
He had also thought about why he knew this information, but the result every time was a splitting headache.
So he stopped thinking about it.
He took another look at where Ma Shuo was.
Rush over now, maybe you can save the other party.
But doing so is too risky and not worth it.
A useless newcomer who couldn't even pass the first day of probation was not worth his efforts to rescue.
Even if he needs to take action, he will choose those who can become regular employees to cooperate.
Library, second floor, lending area.
Here, there are also more readers one after another, choosing their favorite books among the bookshelves.
Hu Qi found a seat and sat down.
There is a book open on the table.
However, he did not look at the book.
Instead, look elsewhere.
Wrapped around his arm was a small green snake, about the thickness of chopsticks, its scales glowing like pearls under the light.
The most bizarre thing is that this snake has a petite girl's face on its neck.
Almond eyes, cherry lips, and skin as thick as gel, she was lowering her eyes at the moment, and her pink tongue was licking Hu Qi's fingertips flatteringly.
From time to time, she would gently rub her cheek against his mouth, like a coquettish cat.
This thing is exactly a strange story in the book in his hand.
The moment he faced Hu Qi, he fell into absolute suppression.
Hu Qi's true body is Cosmic Coiling Serpent, and he has the status of a Daoist master. He can be called the ancestor of all snakes.
Any existence related to the concept of "snake", no matter what kind of creature or species it is, must bow before him.
Therefore, even if it was just a clone of Hu Qi's power, this snake-like creature did not dare to resist at all. Instead, it instinctively showed a close and surrendered attitude.
"You mean you only know that you are from the second floor of the underground?!"
Hu Qi said.
According to Employee Handbook, there is only the negative floor here.
The other party came from the negative second floor.
Beauty Snake hesitated for a moment, swallowed the snake letter, and nodded.
The monsters in these ghost stories are not without intelligence, but they are pitifully few.
For example, the Beauty Snake in front of me is only known to come from underground and some conditions in the museum.
"It seems that I need to go down there and take a look!"
Thinking like this, Hu Qi pinched it with five fingers, and Beauty Snake's beautiful face showed a trace of pain. Immediately, the whole body turned into black smoke and dispersed.
Ending his short life as a weirdo.
Hu Qi stood up and planned to go downstairs to take a look first.
In essence, strange stories cannot be regarded as living entities at all, and the information obtained may also be deliberately done by the source behind it.
But it doesn't matter.
The important thing is to have clues to the source.
However.
Just when Hu Qi was walking towards the stairs.
A burst of noise came from directly in front of Hu Qi.
Blocking the way of Hu Qi.
I saw two readers arguing.
The reason is very simple, because they all fell in love with a book.
In fact, to be honest, it is still because of Hu Qi.
Because of his previous behavior, there were only these few books on the bookshelf.
See this.
Hu Qi walked over without stopping.
"You two, please keep quiet in the library!"
The words fell.
The air solidified instantly.
The two people opposite him froze in place, turning their heads and staring directly at Hu Qi.
The appearance of these two men is horrifying.
One of them had black scars all over his body, and his wrinkled skin looked like bark licked by fire.
There is a deep pit the size of a fist on the head of another person. Through the bloody hole, one can vaguely see the gray-white brain tissue pulsing slightly.
"It's okay to be quiet."
The charred man among them suddenly grinned.
The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if there was something wrong with the throat.
"But I need a small favor from you."
"Oh, I wonder what you're busy with?"
Hu Qi smiled.
"Don't worry, as a library employee, as long as your request is reasonable, I will definitely satisfy it!"
"Then tell me, we both saw this book at the same time. Who do you think should belong to it?"
As the man spoke, he pointed to a book on the bookshelf in front of him. A pungent burnt smell gradually emitted from his body, like the smell of burned flesh.
"That's right, it's up to you to judge! But you have to think it over carefully before you say anything!"
Another reader with a pit on his head also echoed, with black and red blood dripping from his head mixed with his hair.
The two people's cold eyes locked tightly on Hu Qi.
Obviously, no matter which side he chooses on this kind of issue, he is bound to offend the other.
See this scene.
All the readers in the borrowing area on the second floor stopped, turned their heads, and looked here strangely.
"Say! Why don't you speak! Tell me, who does it belong to? You..."
The charred man took a step forward, with a malicious smile on his dark face.
Bang!
However, before he finished speaking, there was only a muffled sound.
The man's head exploded like a ripe watermelon, and the headless body lay twitching and fell on its back.
"Okay, don't think about it now, this book belongs to you! Go down and check out!"
Hu Qi took back his hand and looked at the reader who had a hole in his head.
Then, when his eyes turned to the remaining people, several readers on the second floor were stunned.
Obviously this situation was not expected.
After reacting.
Everyone's expressions changed, and they turned around to leave.
"You actually dare to attack readers. This is against the rules. You..."
The confused reader looked shocked and shouted, and the figure couldn't help but take a step back.
"Rules? I am the rule!"
Hu Qi sneered.
Then, there were a few more muffled sounds.
Silence returned to the second floor, and all the readers turned into mutilated corpses, with blood splattering everywhere.
However, these readers are somewhat different from Kaitan.
After death, it seems as if the body still exists and has not disappeared.
"I've told you to keep quiet, but if you don't listen, it will be difficult for me to do so..."
Hu Qi sighed lightly.
The rules only say to keep the library quiet, but they don't say you can't do anything to these readers.
Hu Qi turned to look at the stairs.
He said calmly.
"As you know, as library staff, it is our responsibility to maintain order.
It's just a pity that some readers lack basic public awareness and have low quality.
So I can only use some methods to shut them up. "
At this moment, at the entrance of the stairs, Ji Shang is standing there with a basket of books.
It seems that they are here to deliver books.
It was obvious that he had seen everything that happened just now.
Ji Shang's pupils trembled slightly.
"This guy! Such a wanton violation of the rules!"
"Sure enough, although this strange story is weird, it is no match for this person. After all, he is the envoy of First Weapon!"
Shuo Qiu's voice replied from the side.
The tone is a little complicated.
On the one hand, I feel why there are so many differences between the same Ten Great Martial Artifacts.
On the one hand, the opponent, as Weapon Wielder, was able to kill Kaidan. In a way, it also proved that the weapon was far more powerful than Kaidan.
Hear what Hu Qi said.
Ji Shang's face twitched a little, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.
Just then.
Hu Qi walked straight over.
See this scene.
Ji Shang couldn't help but feel nervous.
"What do you want to do?"
"I guess you should know my identity, and now I need you to do something for me!"
Hu Qi said.
Ji Shang just opened his mouth and wanted to refuse.
However, the moment she met Hu Qi's eyes, her bright eyes suddenly lost focus and became confused.
At the same time, the various scenes she had just experienced passed by Hu Qi's eyes like a revolving lantern.
With Hu Qi's current level of cultivation.
There is no need to search for souls when dealing with life forms below true gods.
With just a slight thought, the other person's lifelong memories can be seen like lines on the palm of your hand.
"What did you do to her?"
At this time.
It seems that he noticed something abnormal about Ji Shang.
Shuo Qiu, which turned into a purple bracelet, suddenly bloomed into a ball of purple light.
A hazy figure appeared in it.
"Get out!"
Hu Qi frowned and faintly uttered a word.
The next second.
The purple light suddenly disappeared.
The bracelet also fell silent for a moment. If you look closely, you will find a few tiny cracks in it.
"Come with me!"
Hu Qi looked at Ji Shang.
Ji Shang nodded dumbly.
Follow Hu Qi and walk straight down.
After arriving on the first floor.
Without stopping too much, the two of them headed straight for the gate on the first floor.
"What are you two doing? And why did you leave the work area privately during working hours?"
Wang Min's figure appeared and stopped in front of the two of them.
Looking at Hu Qi in the front, he asked coldly.
Others can die.
But he cannot be implicated.
If two people enter the library on the first floor at the same time, a hidden rule will be triggered, and even he may be affected by it.
That's why he came forward.
The next second.
A hand pinched Wang Min's neck without warning.
Lifted him up easily.
"What... do you want... to do? It's against the rules to attack someone who is also... an employee!"
Wang Min wants to resist, after all, his actual combat ability is not weak.
However, the strange thing is that he seems to have lost consciousness below his neck and cannot move at all.
After discovering this.
Then he met the calm eyes of Hu Qi.
He immediately panicked.
He actually burst into tears.
"Please, don't kill me... I... don't want to die..."
"What are you afraid of when you talk about ghosts? Aren't you already dead?"
However, I heard what Wang Min said.
Hu Qi said this with a strange look on his face.
The words fell on Wang Min's ears.
It made him tremble.
Broken memories came flooding back.
His face turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, his lips turned purple, and his bulging eyes gradually lost their luster, like a corpse.
The aura of a living person quickly disappeared from his body.
"So... I'm already dead?"
Wang Min murmured to himself.
At this moment, he was shocked to realize that he was already dead.
What lives in this body is just a special kind of ghost.
This strange story is very special.
Not only did it occupy Wang Min's body, it also completely absorbed his memories.
Day after day, it regards itself as the real Wang Min.
He completely forgot that he was not human.
This is why he has been able to live here for so long.
Hu Qi actually didn't immediately realize that Wang Min itself was a weird story.
But through what Beauty Snake said.
The other party said that the person guarding them was a ghost in human skin.
However, this is actually not difficult to guess.
With the many rules and hidden rules in this library, it is impossible for a living person, no matter how evil he is, to survive for so long.
Just before Hu Qi encountered those two readers fighting for a book.
No matter how ordinary people choose, they will all die.
There was no way to survive.
Ordinary people are just consumables here, and there is no way they can survive.
Hu Qi ignored Wang Min and carried him directly into the library on the first floor.
On the first floor below, the library remains the same.
There is only one green conveyor belt in the whole space.
At this time.
A strange rustling sound sounded from the hole on one side.
"You want to deal with the source here, right? If more than one person comes in, you have violated the rules here. A powerful monster will appear at the entrance of the cave and kill the extra people."
At this time, Wang Min spoke.
He seemed to have lost all the characteristics of a living person after recalling that he was a monster.
Even though his neck was pinched, he didn't show any discomfort at all, but instead said this.
"However, I can help you block that weird talk, but you must promise me to eliminate the source here!"
Speaking of this, there was a look of hatred on his face.
That is Wang Min's own emotion.
To be precise, this strange talk did not take away Wang Min, but more like it merged with Wang Min itself.
However, this seems normal.
Kaidan's spiritual intelligence is rare, like a piece of blank paper. After entering Wang Min's body, it is directly infiltrated by the other party's memory. Even if he discovers that he is Kaitan, he will still feel resentment towards the source of all this.
"Do you know where that source is?"
Hu Qi glanced around.
asked casually.
"I don't know, but someone discovered this place before and speculated that the source must be related to this cave entrance."
Wang Min pointed at the hole in front of him.
"Lie on it and press the red button to send yourself in. Maybe you can solve it..."
At this point, he stopped talking.
The meaning is obvious. Someone discovered this place, entered it, and wanted to solve the source of the strange stories. However, the library still exists, and that person obviously died.
At this time.
The rustling sounds inside the cave entrance are getting closer and closer.
And Wang Min had a hint of urgency on his face.
"Let me go quickly, it's too late! That thing is coming out! Let me stop him, you go in first."
"It's possible to survive if you go in, but if you stay, there's only one way to die."
However, Hu Qi just smiled at this.
"Well done! What a pity! In another place, maybe I could give you an award."
Click!
Pinch hard with your fingers.
Wang Min's neck was directly crushed and thrown to the ground.
There was still a look of shock on his face.
The traces of the ghost talk show that occupied Wang Min were too serious.
Beauty Snake said the source was on the second underground floor, and this guy said it was behind the cave entrance.
One of the two guys must have lied.
And Hu Qi is too lazy to tell the difference.
Because at that moment, he found that he seemed to be trapped in a strange thinking circle.
He, Hu Qi, is a Daoist master, a terrifying existence standing at the apex of the Spirit Realm system.
In the past, I had actually encountered a strange story in World Membrane World, and had the stupid idea of relying on abiding by the rules to complete the three-day trial period and get in touch with the source of the strange story.
Reminiscent of the memory of Ji Shang before, the other party also thought the same way. As a Weapon Wielder, he didn't think of other ways, but couldn't help but want to abide by the rules here.
Only then did he understand.
It should be that this library had some kind of influence on him.
"It actually affects me! Great!"
Hu Qi A flash of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Just then.
Uh-huh!
A Crimson blood shadow suddenly shot out from the black hole at the end of the conveyor belt.
It turned out to be a giant tongue covered with ferocious barbs, and the mucus pulled out disgusting threads between the barbs.
But strangely, this deadly tongue was frozen in mid-air half a meter away from Hu Qi.
Hu Qi slowly turned his head.
His originally dark pupils had completely faded away at this moment, replaced by a pair of long and narrow vertical pupils, Crimson like blood, cold as iron, shining with an inhuman cold light.
"It's not that troublesome to alert others or lure them with ideas.
Wherever you run, I will kill you, and I will watch where you hide! "
He twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a ferocious and bloodthirsty smile, raised his foot and stamped down.
---boom!!!
