Library

The day passed quickly. Li Ziming lay on his bed and suddenly opened his eyes, looking around. Nearly everyone sharing the room was fast asleep. However, Li Ziming had no intention of going out. He silently counted several numbers, and then felt a faintly cool touch on his face.

"Ming..." Si responded as well.

Li Ziming nodded, then got out of bed and went to the restroom. Inside, Si did not return to her full size. Instead, she separated out some slime and formed a structural map of Big Mom's castle in midair.
