Entering

"Let's go then. I've also invited two other people." Wang Wencheng glanced at Lu Li's bead, looking somewhat interested, but what he wanted most right now was to explore the Miskatonic University Library.

The three then met the other two people Wang Wencheng had mentioned. One of them was another student from the Department of Mystery, named Bai Lu. She wore glasses and looked very refined. She wasn't very tall, but her eyes kept darting around, clearly indicating that she was also a restless person.

The other person was a tall, thin boy named Lin Tong, a freshman in the archaeology department. His cold and stern face seemed to hold a grudge against everyone. He noticed Lu Li's brows furrow slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed across his face.

Wang Wencheng may seem carefree, but he is actually very good at handling interpersonal relationships. Before long, the five of them got to know each other. Bai Lu, like Wang Wencheng, is a local of City of Sound, while Lin Tong is from Yongzhou, another continent.

However, after learning that Lu Li was from Leping City, Lin Tong became even more wary of him. He already had questions about the events in Lu Li Leping City, so he would naturally pay attention to anything related to Leping City.

After getting to know each other, the group headed towards the library.

With new students arriving, everyone is quite interested in the new school. Even though it's already 10 p. m., there are still some people walking on the campus streets. These people are either having dinner outside the school gates or strolling around the campus together.

Wang Wencheng also recounted his experience from the previous night. "The library and the collection room are both in that corner over there; there are three paths leading to the library."

"The first option is the main road near the teaching building. There's a security booth and checkpoint there, and you have to swipe your student card to get in. However, it's not open at night, and there are two security guards on duty all the time, so we'll skip this route."

"We Reconnaissance the other route last night. It passes through the collection room, and there's a small door leading in. However, the collection room is guarded by several security guards, and that section of the road is brightly lit with streetlights. Going there will only get you caught."

"We went through the main gate last night, intending to bypass the checkpoint, but we triggered the alarm. After a day of research, I found a third way," Wang Wencheng said with a hint of pride.

"Next to the swimming pool, there's a public restroom. Climb up the public restroom, then climb over the wall over there. That wall is right next to the library, only a meter or two away. There's a window on the second floor there. I tampered with it when I entered the library during the day, so it can be opened easily."

"That's the basic route. The only thing to be careful of is the surveillance cameras at the library. Depending on the frequency of the vibrations, there will be intervals of a few seconds, so each person only has a few seconds to jump from the wall to the second floor." Wang Wencheng asked, "You're all in good physical condition, right?"

"Probably," Bai Lu said uncertainly, but judging from her expression, she seemed quite excited about the operation.

"Then there's no problem, let's go." Wang Wencheng nodded, and the group strolled over to the swimming pool. Sure enough, they found the public toilet, right next to the library. To keep the environment and smells pleasant, two large trees had been planted around the public toilet.

Since the school was newly opened and the swimming pool was not yet open, the surveillance cameras around the swimming pool had not been installed yet. The five of them sneaked over to the public restroom. Wang Wencheng took out a bottle that looked like perfume and said to the group.

"I heard that dogs are let out at night around the library. This perfume is a special potion that can repel dogs." Wang Wencheng sprayed some on everyone. From this, it can be seen that Wang Wencheng's family is quite well-off, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to choose the mysterious category and could even produce such a potion.

The group of people climbed onto the roof of the public restroom through the window behind it, helping each other. Under the cover of two large trees, neither passersby nor the security cameras in the library could see them.

Two meters away from the toilet, there was a wall. From there, you could see a window two meters away that had no security measures. Wang Wencheng had anticipated this and found a small stone on the top of the toilet. This stone was connected to a line, which led to the window opposite.

Wang Wencheng jumped down into the toilet with the string, then pulled hard in the right spot, opening the window opposite. He immediately climbed back up, panting, and said, "Jump onto that wall, and you'll be in the surveillance camera's field of view. I've calculated the timing of the two cameras' movements; this area has a six-second window where they won't be able to see it, so hurry up. Who wants to go first?"

"I'll go first," Chen Qiao nodded and took a slight step back to run up. Wang Wencheng glanced at the location of the monitor, waited a moment, and then quietly called out "start." Chen Qiao lunged forward, stepping onto the wall. Fortunately, there was no broken glass on the wall. He then jumped again, grabbed the edge of the window with both hands, and with a push, flipped himself inside.

Chen Qiao walked a little further back, gave the group an OK sign, and then Lin Tong was next. He was also in good physical condition and seized the opportunity to successfully enter the library.

Then came Lu Li. His Avatar was crafted from the energy of the world's baptism, so his foundation was naturally excellent. He jumped over without any trouble. After that, Bai Lu, the girl, almost got into trouble.

She didn't jump high enough over the wall and almost missed the window frame. Luckily, Chen Qiao saw the danger and grabbed her, pulling her inside. Otherwise, being discovered would have been a minor issue; she might have broken her leg, though the situation might have been completely different.

Finally, there's Wang Wencheng. He's also in excellent health. As a child, he was obsessed with mysticism and practiced Qi cultivation with some Daoist priests for several years. Although he doesn't have any special superpowers, his body has become very healthy.

After Wang Wencheng jumped in, he quickly closed the window. Only then did Lu Li notice that there was a layer of foam stuck to the other side of the window. No wonder Wang Wencheng hadn't made a sound when he pulled the window earlier.

"Bai Lu, are you alright?" Wang Wencheng asked with concern as soon as he entered. After confirming that Bai Lu was alright, Wang Wencheng was relieved and said excitedly, "We can read the books on the first ten floors of the library during the day. Only the books on the tenth floor and beyond are completely off-limits to students; only professors are allowed to enter."

"Our goal is to sneak into the eleventh floor and search for any mysterious magical books that might exist there," Wang Wencheng said, climbing onto a bookshelf and pulling out a backpack.

"Communication headset, flashlight, masked headgear, and vest." Wang Wencheng took out the items one by one from his backpack and handed them to the group. He also put a few spare sets back in their original places. It has to be said that although Wang Wencheng is eccentric, he is really reliable when it comes to getting things done.

After testing the equipment, the conversation was clear through the earpieces; even speaking softly, others could hear it clearly. The flashlight beams were focused, with only a small scattered beam, and secured with straps. Wearing vests and balaclavas, the five fully armed individuals cautiously made their way upstairs.
