Chapter 346

Negri walked along the dark path of the Mobis Institute. The street lamps were hazy and didn't provide much light. Instead, they gave him a sense of fear of the unknown.

His surroundings were abnormally silent. Most of the people living in the institute were already asleep at 3 in the morning.

The library was already closed, a security guard was sleeping soundly at the entrance. Negri's brand new leather shoes landed on the ground, the crisp sound of them waking the security guard up.

As soon as the security guard opened his eyes, Negri was already standing in front of him. With a flick of his finger, some powder entered his mouth.

"Relax … Now listen to me." Negary's words caused the guard, who had just woken up from his sleep and tasted the medicine, to fall into a trance.

"You will turn a blind eye to everything that happens in the library. After I leave, you will fall into a dreamscape. In your dreamscape, you will foresee that something bad will happen to the Mobis Institute, and you will believe it without a doubt. During the day, you will search for like-minded companions."

After saying that, Negri continued walking towards the library. Following the sound of Negri's departure, the security guard stood up in a daze. His eyes glanced at Negri who was using a metal wire to open the door to the library, but he didn't seem to see him at all. He yawned and went back to sleep. In his dreams, something bad was about to happen.

Negri put away the metal wire in his hand. Back in the Flame world, when Negri absorbed a large number of souls, he had already reached the level of a grandmaster in picking locks. The lock of the Mobis Institute wasn't complicated and was easily unlocked.

Negri entered the library and used his spirit sense to sense the changes in the library at night. As Negri expected, the closer it was to 5 in the morning, the more active the connections hidden in the library became.

He opened a small box. Inside were various powders and liquids, all of which came from the Academic City. Some were ores, some were plants.

Negary then mixed these powders and liquids according to a certain order, finally turning them into a bright red liquid. This liquid had the effect of stabilizing the soul, making one's mind more resilient and rigid, making it harder for the outside world to affect them.

As time slowly passed, Negri took a stroll around the library. As the library of the Mobis Institute, the books inside were truly abundant. Negri also discovered some valuable knowledge for his current human body.

As 5 in the morning approached, Negri completed his preparations. He took out some charcoal and lit it up. a bright red glow appeared on the charcoal. At the same time, he took out a concoction of medicine and drank it in one gulp.

Following that, Negri's spirit sense noticed that his surroundings were overlapping. A strange sensation appeared in Negri's mind, as if he was being pressed into a paper doll. This feeling of overlapping as a human gave Negri a completely different experience.

It seems that standing too high sometimes makes it easier for me to miss some of the scenery. This was the last irrelevant thought in Negri's mind. After that, the medicine began to take effect, Negri's mind became mechanical, no longer having any irrelevant thoughts.

By the time this strange overlapping state ended, Negri had appeared on the first floor of the building.

The entire building was in the shape of a hollow cylinder, with a corridor on the outside and a hollow inside. The entire circle was about 100 meters in diameter, apart from the inside of the corridor, the rest of the space was filled with rows of bookshelves filled with books.

Negri walked to the edge of the corridor and looked down, only to find that it was bottomless. It was also a corridor of books, and when he looked up, it was the same. It seemed that Negri had been directly transported to a certain floor of the Grand Library.

"You can choose a book here. Remember, it is only one book, according to your wishes" an ethereal voice spoke. An ethereal voice resounded. As Negary turned around, he saw a white-haired little girl wearing a brown dress.

She stood barefoot on the wooden floor, tilted her head, and stared at Negri with her pitch-black eyes, as if she was puzzled about something.

"Your name?" Negri asked.

"Akasha Allenz" the little girl answered Negri's question with her hands behind her back.

〖 Where am I right now in the Grand Library? 〗 as soon as the little girl Akasha answered, Negary continued to ask.

"Grand Library's book area, level 368" The little girl did not get angry because of Negri's stiff tone. She still maintained her ethereal voice as she answered Negri's question.

"Why here?"

"According to your strongest need when you entered the Grand Library, this floor has books that are suitable for you, but you have to find them yourself. Once you have made your choice, you cannot regret it," Akasha replied.

"Understood" Negri then ignored Akasha and began to look for books on this floor.

Before entering the Grand Library, Negri had hypnotized himself and used a potion to mechanize his thoughts, so when he entered the Grand Library, Negri only had one need, and that was to find the origin of life.

"Hmm, please be careful, there are bad things on this floor." Negri did not ask any questions, but Akasha suddenly said this as Negri was about to leave.

Negri ignored Akasha. From what he could tell, Akasha was actually closely related to this library, a bit like a computer AI that managed this library. It could be said that she was the work of the great magus, which was why her surname was the same as the great magus'.

If his guess was correct, the great magus' problem was related to Life Bearer, and the Grand Library's teleportation mechanism was related to one's own needs. In that case, when Negri had a need related to life, he would most likely be sent to an abnormal place.

It was extremely risky to enter the Grand Library, especially when he displayed such obvious intentions, there was a high chance that he would be caught, imprisoned, and killed.

Negri had already prepared himself for this. Or rather, Negri's appearance on this body was precisely for this reason, a type of test.

Of course, according to Negri's main body's calculations, there was a 12.3% chance that this Negri clone would be completely fine, or only be infected with a few abnormalities.

Negri quickly searched through the books on this floor. Even though this was only one of the countless floors of the Grand Library, there were still over 10,000 books, an unimaginable amount in the Moon Tree world where knowledge was scarce.

It was no wonder that so many lucky people who entered the Grand Library once would consider this place to be the place of truth, feeling endless respect and admiration towards it.

However, the books here weren't restricted in any way, some of them were magical books, some of them were about postpartum care and recuperation of sows, some of them were novels written by crappy authors.

In short, as long as it was something that could be described with words, it would be recorded here.

At the same time, Negri found his target in the Grand Library, a book that his spirit sense could sense ominous.

As Negri looked at this book, he felt like he could see a twisted entity behind the book, opening its arms to embrace him.
