"Jiang-ge." Huai Yi lowered his voice, looking at Jiang Cheng and asking, "You don't seem surprised. Do you have other plans?" Apart from the sound of their footsteps, it was eerily quiet.

Jiang Cheng took out his phone and glanced at the time. "Let's wait a little longer. If we don't hear anything, we'll go downstairs."

"Okay."

On the 3rd floor, Miao Qing and the others were facing a similar situation to Jiang Cheng's group. The 3rd floor was much smaller than the 2nd floor, so they finished searching earlier, but they didn't choose to notify the others.

"It's not on our floor." Bai Xiaojie put down the book in her hand and put it back on the bookshelf in its original position.

Miao Qing sneered, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards the floor, as if he could see through the floorboards to the scene below. "Of course it's not here. The information about this town is all on the first floor."

"What do you mean?" Liu Hui's eyes flashed with a strange light, as if a certain guess had been confirmed.

"When we first came in, there was a piece of paper on the reception desk. I only caught a glimpse of it before that Jiang Cheng blocked it with his body." Miao Qing's tone carried a hint of vigilance.

Bai Xiaojie couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "What was written on the paper?"

"The categories of books on each floor of the library, and the approximate locations of the bookshelves." Miao Qing took a deep breath and continued, "I saw that it said the local materials were stored on the first floor."

Liu Hui nodded in understanding. "He's a smart man. He understands that the place where important information is stored is likely to be dangerous, so he hid this clue and lured the others to explore the way."

"If we face them next, it will be tricky." At this moment, Liu Hui put away her composure, and a murderous intent vaguely revealed in her eyes.

"We... face them?" Bai Xiaojie understood even less. "Since they are also very strong, why should we oppose them? We can cooperate and leave this ghost place together."

"Why don't you understand? This mission is different from before. Perhaps only one group of us can leave here alive." Facing Bai Xiaojie's face, Liu Hui was a little impatient. If Miao Qing hadn't insisted on bringing her along, she wouldn't have cared about this person. She couldn't help much, but instead would only cause trouble.

Bai Xiaojie, who was reprimanded by Liu Hui, was a little emotionally broken. Fortunately, Miao Qing waved his hand to Liu Hui, signaling her to stop talking. Miao Qing turned to look at Bai Xiaojie, who looked nervous, and explained, "Liu Hui and I have experienced many missions. This is the first time we have been forcibly grouped."

After a pause, he continued, "What I mean is that after entering this world, all of us were grouped by an irresistible force, and even marked numbers on our clothes for us. Have you ever wondered why?"

Bai Xiaojie looked at him, waiting for his next words.

Miao Qing sighed, "If the previous missions were singles matches, then this time, I suspect the rules of the mission have been adjusted, and this time it has become a team match." Miao Qing's tone was slightly cold as he said, "I agree with Liu Hui's view. This time, it may really be that only one team can leave here alive."

"That's right." Liu Hui nodded. "And have you noticed that since the mission started, after the butler appeared, he began to sow discord among us. We almost fought when we registered the disclaimer agreement. I think this is also a kind of hint. This time, we not only have to find out the truth of the mission, but also kill the other two teams."

"What if... what if you guessed wrong?" Bai Xiaojie's thoughts were different from theirs. She thought that her two teammates were too neurotic, but she couldn't blame them. Repeated missions were enough to drive a normal person crazy.

"We are indeed not sure about our guess, but as long as we have doubts, it is enough." Miao Qing may also have realized that he was a little terrible now, and changed to a earnest attitude and said to Bai Xiaojie, "Xiaojie, I don't want anything to happen to you and Liu Hui. I brought you in, and I have the responsibility to bring you out alive. We don't want to hurt others either, but you have to understand that since we have stepped into this kind of place, some things are not up to us to decide."

"Survival is the most important thing." Miao Qing suddenly increased his tone. "When we return to the real world, let's forget everything here, just treat it as a nightmare."

"Unless absolutely necessary, we don't need to do it ourselves. We can use the clues in the mission to set traps for them." Liu Hui suggested, "Team 1, Jiang Zhao and the Ouyang Huanbin he brought are not worth worrying about. The tricky thing is Team 2. Since that Jiang Cheng is not easy to deal with, let's bypass him and start with the two people around him."

Bai Xiaojie looked at Miao Qing and Liu Hui, who were planning, and couldn't connect them with their appearance in the real world. She suddenly felt a little scared, as if she had never really understood them, never walked into their hearts.

Miao Qing was a very sensitive person, otherwise he would not be able to support a large business in the real world. After feeling Bai Xiaojie's fear, he smiled, reached out and patted Bai Xiaojie's head, and comforted her, "What we said just now are all the worst plans. After all, we can't predict what will happen next. If there are other ways to choose, we are also very willing to cooperate with the other two teams."

After Miao Qing finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Hui. Liu Hui understood and said, "That's natural. If they don't provoke us, then we don't need to make enemies with them. What we said just now is just to prepare you mentally."

Bai Xiaojie swallowed her saliva, and her neck shrank involuntarily. "Is that so? You guys looked so scary just now."

"Okay, let's not talk about these things." Miao Qing changed the subject. "Get ready, let's go downstairs."

...

Unlike the situations on the 2nd and 3rd floors, Ouyang Huanbin, who was in the library lobby on the 1st floor, looked pale at the moment. Not long ago, when he and his master Jiang Zhao were looking for information, he discovered something very terrible.

The library lobby on the 1st floor was very large, with rows of large bookshelves arranged in order, each more than 3 meters high. He and his master were lucky enough to find the area where the town's information was recorded.

But just as he took down a piece of information and was about to check it, he suddenly saw a woman standing in front of the bookshelf diagonally opposite from the gap left by taking down the information.

The woman was wearing a black dress and stepping on a ladder, climbing up. Due to the angle of view, he couldn't see the upper half of the woman's body, but judging from the woman's movements, she was taking a book from the top layer of the bookshelf.

But the strange thing was that he didn't see the woman take the book down. The woman's body trembled slightly, and her toes were tiptoeing, as if she was transferring the book from one position to a higher position, stacking them up one by one.
