31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 289)
Adventure 33 - (Special) 'Solemn Library’
You are looking for a way to defeat Yasha, the culprit who is disrupting the ghost world and the real world..
Currently, the situation has become much better with the addition of Xiamen, a descendant of Orgo, a great helper..
Xiamun led your group to the Mansang Library, saying that you need the knowledge of the Mansang Library to deal with the sword of the Yasha..
You must obtain all or some of the books that Helper Xiamen has set as a goal here..
Goal: Obtain at least one book from Xiamen's book list..
Be careful, this adventure is very dangerous.
Be careful, this adventure changes from moment to moment..
Current remaining time 「Unknown」
As soon as I entered the library, the first sight I saw was users looking like smoke..
The white smoke appeared to be walking around like a person..
“Shhh….”
Xiamen put his index finger to his lips..
Then he pointed to the sentence written on the information sign right in front of the entrance..
Because many people come and go in the reading room on the first floor, we request that users be more quiet..
Reading does not require any behavior other than silence; failure to do so may result in a warning from the librarian..
Additionally, if you cause more than a moderate amount of disturbance, you may be immediately excluded..
In addition, we would like to inform you that users who stay in the library without a pass may also be immediately excluded..
If you are caught making noise or entering without permission, you will be beaten to death and kicked out..
I thought it was roughly something like that..
Rules that are likely to exist in any library.
However, Xiamen's expression was not good..
Swish swish…
Xiamen wrote on the memo paper he had prepared..
- This is a big problem.
The expressions of Kang Seol and his party were filled with doubts..
- It seems like the rules for each floor have changed once more..
“…….”
- The translation has become useless. Now, from now on, we have no choice but to use the base to move forward..
If I were to describe everyone's expressions in one word, or rather with one sign, it was a question mark..
They came out thinking it was a lunch meeting, but they felt embarrassed as if everyone had packed lunch except for themselves..
Swish swish…
- 1Layers are so-called unnecessary information. In other words, it is a place where debris gathers. There is no chance of getting the book you want here. The book we need to find will be upstairs from here..
Seolhong borrowed Xiamen’s memo paper and answered..
- Where is the door leading upstairs??
Swish swish…
- There are no maps because the terrain changes from time to time. The structure of each staircase is also not the same, so there is no need to memorize the route..
Swish swish…
- 5Let's meet on the floor. It's a rest floor, so everyone can talk comfortably..
nod…
With the last sentence written by Xiamen, the group moved in unison..
The sight of the five moving closely together looked like thieves targeting a huge library..
Their small size, like cockroaches, compared to the size of the vast library, quickly made them look like petty thieves..
‘Buy it….’
Geek… Cheolkeong…
Geek… Cheolkeong…
There was a being coming and going through the areas of the library at regular intervals. It was a golem made of a unique material..
‘This is my first time seeing a librarian in person.….’
I had been there once before, so I knew how it worked and how the patrol range was set..
Geek…
Cheolkeong…
Geek…
Crash…
The librarian passed near where the group was..
A choice occurred to Kang Seol..
[The librarian from the first floor of Mansang Library is patrolling nearby. Just now, a librarian passed by you. how will you act?]
1. There is no need to think deeply. Hurry up and move quickly.
2. Stand still and understand the path the librarian moves..
3. The current position is dangerous. change places.
4. [Required: Mountain Spell] Build an earthen wall to block the librarian's progress path..
……
If it was your first time visiting the library, you might have chosen one of these options. Because there were plenty of reasonable options..
Sigh…
When Xiamen tried to step forward, as if he thought it was an opportunity, Kangseol grabbed his shoulder..
“…….”
His face is also a question mark.
Snowfall made a downward motion with her palms and then squatted down..
Xiamen also believed in him, so he did not make any rash moves..
‘Not yet… The perfect opportunity is coming soon.’
Opportunity that comes about once every few minutes.
If I had acted rashly before then, all the librarians in the library could have come in droves..
Geek…
Cheolkeodeoeoong…
Suddenly, all the librarians froze in place..
Slurp…
Snowfall options have changed.
[The librarian from the first floor of Mansang Library is patrolling nearby. Just now, a librarian passed by you. how will you act?]
1. There is no need to think deeply. Hurry up and move quickly.
2. (Added) The librarian appears to be changing his patrol route. Take advantage of this gap to move.
3. Stand still and understand the path the librarian moves..
4. The current position is dangerous. change places.
5. [Required: Mountain Spell] Build an earthen wall to block the librarian's progress path..
……
One option has been added.
It was this moment that Kang Seol was aiming for..
‘now!’
After giving a signal to the group, Snowfall stuck to the ground and moved. Although my legs were uncomfortable when I was squatting, I persevered and looked for an exit, knowing that the effort of getting into trouble with the librarian would be dozens of times more difficult..
The library's librarians changed their patrol routes every few minutes. It seemed like the intention was to clutter up the flow so that unauthorized users could not move around..
And while each person changes their route, there is a gap of about 10 seconds. At this point, all the librarians seemed to stand still and accept the changed information..
10candle.
In order to move completely undetected, you had to use this short 10-second window to move..
Stand tall…
The snowfall has stopped.
I profit…
Cheolkeong…
It's good…
Crash…
After several minutes have passed again.
Cheolkeodeeoeoong…
The librarian stopped moving..
This time, everyone moved quickly even though there was no sign of snowfall..
Because there was a door with a flashing light right around the corner..
Da da da da dat…
- I sensed a commotion.
- I sensed a commotion.
The librarians all turned their heads towards the direction from which the sound came..
but there was no one there.
Snow and his party had already escaped through the door through which light leaked..
“Phew….”
“ha ha ha! idiots!”
“Shh!”
“Yikes….”
1The first and second floors were connected, but the rules applied separately..
In other words, in order for a librarian to exist on the second floor, the rules related to librarians must be written on the sign..
“…I don't have any? sign?”
“uh?”
2There was no sign that was supposed to be on the floor. I didn't feel like I was popular at all..
“It's not that there are no rules?”
“Maybe... . Let's spread out and search..”
2From the first floor, you had to go up while searching for the book you wanted. Before entering the library, Ha-moon passed a note to each of the group..
The note listed the name of the book that Xiamen needed..
‘There are a lot of things related to Yasha..’
Just because the library boasts a huge size, there was no need to worry about not being able to find books. It's because of the special energy of the Mansang Library..
Because of this unique energy, Mansang Library is sometimes called the Library of Destiny. If the book the user wants clearly exists in the library, he or she will feel it when passing by the place where the book is located..
In the end, I had to go to all the bookshelves, but I was able to find the book..
In fact, there was little chance that the book you wanted would not be available in any library..
Even if the book has not yet been compiled by someone else, the library absorbs local information and compiles it into a single collection..
Libraries not only distribute books but also produce them..
In general, the books in the Mansang Library were filled with information that became more difficult to obtain as you went up the stairs. This was not absolute. Sometimes very rare books were stored on the lower floor..
‘There were some people who used it.’
When the Library of All Things appeared in the real world, those who could not afford to go to the upper floors aimed to search the lower floors..
It would definitely be helpful if I could get a valuable book..
Growling…
I searched for books for quite some time, thinking about various things..
2We finished searching all but one area of the floor, but a signal came from the last area..
‘…found.’
It's here.
Snowfall approached the bookshelf and touched the nearby area..
A choice occurred to him..
[you place your hand on the bookshelf.]
1. 「Take out “Know your lumbar spine to keep your back straight”.
2. 「10Take out “How to Prep Vegetables in Seconds”.
3. 「Take out “The Origin of Yasha”.
4. 「Oops! Take out “My mistake!”.
……
Kang Seol quickly took the “Origin of the Yasha” and tried to return to the group..
‘hmm?’
2In one corner of the floor, a pile of books was piled up. Feeling something foreign, Kangseol went over to the place and looked through the pile of books..
Sooooo…
cold touch.
‘guidance signs!’
A sign was hidden in a pile of books..
It was clear that someone had hidden the sign intentionally..
Kang Seol dug a little deeper into the pile of books and checked what was written inside..
“…….”
At that time, a small puppy came up to me..
It was Chiwoo..
Because Chiwoo was behind the bookshelf, he couldn't see what Kangseol was doing..
“I found something?”
Kangseol responded angrily and approached Chiwoo..
“no, there is nothing.”
“Let's go over there, I found something. But I can't reach the height?”
“Please take this out?”
“Uh, this way..”
Strangely enough, everyone in the group was gathered in the direction Chiwoo was heading..
“snowfall?”
“What, already?”
“I found the book?”
Kangseol tilted his head and asked Chiwoo..
“Everyone else is there, so why did you ask me to help you??”
“Oh, that's right….”
In an instant, the air flow changed.
Buuuuuk…
Buwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The person's skin was torn and the appearance of everyone in the group changed. manifestation of evil spirit.
They changed into a black and murky appearance and all at once stabbed the snowfall with their sharp hands..
Fuuuuuk…
Pooh wow…
“Ugh….”
Their arms pierced the snowfall from several directions.
However, the smiling faces of the demons who succeeded in stabbing Snowfall were distorted in an instant..
“you… what?”
“go… make?”
Kangseol, who got his whole body ravaged, grinned..
“yes, it's fake.”
Pusssss…
Something that looked like snow turned into black smoke and disappeared..
“like you guys.”
The demons turned their heads and looked towards where the exit was..
“There it is!”
“He's over there!”
Snowfall was already standing in front of the exit..
This is what was written on the hidden information sign:.
2The floor leads to an independent space.
Even if you meet someone from your group, please be careful not to join them..
Head to the next floor as quickly as possible without the thing in your group noticing you..
If it's 'em' and not 'it' then good luck.
As soon as I confirmed this, I summoned an alter ego to follow the evil spirit dressed as Chi-woo, and he secretly moved towards the exit..
‘You don't have to bother using this method, but….’
This is the library of all things..
It was not possible to solve everything with force alone, and the beings that appeared were also extremely bizarre. It was necessary to proceed with caution..
“at there!”
“Don't leave me alone!”
“Stay here! Let's stay in the library forever and be with us!”
joy.
Snowfall snorted once and then headed to the next flight of stairs..
‘Other people will be fine?’
1The floors are together and the 5th floor is a rest floor, so only the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors move separately. The probability of problems occurring there was extremely low. Moreover, Seolhong, who was the weakest, realized the power left behind by Yuhwa, so he was less worried..
Jeopuk…
Jeopuk…
3floor.
Through the door through which the snowfall escaped, someone came out screaming..
“Wow! go away!”
“Jinryeo?”
It was Jinryeo who came out through the door..
“gasp... Nothing is coming after me?”
“…yes.”
“Phew… Phew… There was definitely something behind it... Well, the black things... anyway… Could you please lend me some money??”
- The weather is nice, can you lend me some money??
- Oh right. Yesterday I was there, can you lend me some money??
- Unfortunately, teacher... Could you please lend me some money??
- Habitual debt lol
- This truth is not fake.
“money?”
“I ran out of money to give to Kunna... . I almost got hit by evil spirits..”
Kang Seol expressionlessly handed over a bag containing platinum and gold coins. He had saved up a lot of money, but since there were no items on the auction house that he could use, all he had to do was buy a few spare equipment..
“I'm lending it to you..”
“I will work like a dog. Should we get rid of the library? Hey, Kunna… huh? This kid... Answer me! I have money!”
“That's it. But didn't you meet others??”
“We ran into each other….”
“It must have been fake.”
“Yes, you guessed it right. phew… At first, I wondered what the independent space meant, so I thought about it for a while and asked Kang Seol..”
“…….”
“His eyes turned bright red and he started chasing me, so I just ran. It was a disaster because the exit was right around the corner.….”
Jinryeo looked around and held her head..
“Argh! There's no sign again!”
“Yes, you have to be careful..”
“Float, don't fall..”
“What if I'm fake??”
“damn! I almost swore! Don't play games like that! He asks Kunna to check.?”
3That's how the search for the floor began..
“Not this either... Not that one either... Why is it so wide! I found some?”
“I haven't found it yet.”
“Umm… Isn't it on the 3rd floor??”
After two hours passed with no results, the two of them were a little tired..
Snowfall stood in front of the bookshelf and sighed..
“Phew….”
“Nothing good will come of your life if you sigh..”
Kang Seol was startled by someone's answer and hurriedly walked away from the direction the voice came from..
An old gentleman dressed quite smartly was smiling with his hat pulled down..
“What's so surprising??”
“That's right….”
There was no sign.
No, the snowfall didn't notice..
It's a pity that he, who had sharp senses, did not notice the old gentleman's approach..
“you….”
Kang Seol was taken aback for a moment, but when she saw the old gentleman’s attire, she remembered something..
‘no way….’
There were many cases in Mansang Library where meeting someone was not very pleasant. However, in some cases, there were people that I would rather have encountered..
For example, a being like the old gentleman in front of him right now..
See profit…
The old gentleman said.
“Do you have a favorite book??”
