Wuji Library is a library named after "Wuji", which means vast and boundless. There are countless classics collected in it. Although most of them do not have the name of the editor, the authenticity of many miscellaneous talks recorded on it is difficult to determine.
Some theories are even more difficult to implement... but its value is still immeasurable.
There have been rumors for a long time that the reason why Wuji City has become one of the most technologically advanced cities in the entire safe zone today is largely due to this mysterious library.
Some people even say that it was not because this library was named "Wuji" in Wuji City, but because of this Wuji Library that the later Wuji City came into existence——
It is the origin of the name Wuji City.
And such a library, which is famous throughout the security zone, although it stands in the center of the entire Wuji City, actually looks unremarkable from the outside.
As the landmark building of Wuji City and the largest library in Wuji City, Wuji Library also has another name - the Sea of Knowledge.
...To allow people to swim freely in the boundless ocean of knowledge, perhaps this is the original intention of establishing this library.
However, times have changed and the library, which used to be accessible to most people freely, has now become a taboo place that only a handful of people can set foot on.
What is even more sad is that among the very few people who have the authority, there are very few people who are willing to enter the library and swim in the sea of knowledge, and no one cares about the huge library.
And just today, Wuji Library had a rare gathering of many people.
It is no exaggeration to say that today may be the day with the largest number of people in the Wuji Library. Unfortunately, the purpose of these people is not to learn knowledge, but to join in the fun.
While Bai Mo and others were exploring the Forest of Steel, Brown Tang, Xiao Sheng and others were sitting in the library, quietly sipping tea and eating afternoon tea.
There were clearly dense bookshelves around, but few people were interested in picking up a book to read. They chatted in low voices and looked down at the time from time to time, with anticipation in their eyes.
"It's been two hours. They can't come out, right?" someone whispered.
"Isn't there still an hour left?"
The woman next to him chuckled lightly, and also lowered her voice and said, "Why are you so anxious? For us, it's just another place to drink tea."
Everyone seemed to have heard what she said, and they couldn't help but have helpless smiles on their faces. Although they didn't want to admit it, they had to say that this was indeed the case.
They are very idle every day, and they are especially idle today.
"Miss Han Fei is right, there is still a full hour, which is very sufficient. I believe we will be able to see Mr. Baiwu and his friends again soon." Ziye poured a cup of tea for her and said softly.
said.
Han Fei was flattered and quickly thanked her in a low voice.
Even Xiao Sheng, who had always been very energetic before, his voice was extremely low at this moment. He looked at Brown Tang who was holding a book alone across from him for a moment, and pretended to sigh: "I didn't expect Miss Hong Tang to still have the habit of reading."
Everyone followed the sound and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, because according to their understanding, the woman Brown Tang didn't seem to like reading.
Everyone's conversations were kept low, and the library was quite quiet.
It is forbidden to make loud noises in the Wuji Library - this is the rule of the Wuji Library. Even these noble lovers need to abide by it, otherwise they will suffer the wrath of the library.
"No, I just remembered that the city lord reminded me before to read more books in the future. If it hadn't been for this opportunity, I probably wouldn't have come to the library."
Brown Tang closed the book, placed it on the table casually, and said calmly, "But it turns out the same thing after reading it several times. These books are not interesting at all."
Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. There are so many books in the library. Maybe Miss Brown Tang just hasn't found what she's interested in yet."
Brown Tang said nothing.
"Ms. Brown Tang looks a little absent-minded. Could it be that she is worried about Mr. Baiwu?" Ziye asked.
"Don't worry."
"Um?"
"He'll be out soon."
Brown Tang glanced up at her and said in a stiff tone, "Also, don't talk to me...it's disgusting."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became stagnant.
Seeing this scene, a person quickly came out to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Um... By the way, Mr. Xiao Sheng, how much do you know about the Forest of Steel?"
"Yes, Mr. Xiao Sheng..."
Someone echoed, "We are actually very interested in the Forest of Steel, but unfortunately we don't have the courage to go in and explore it, so can you tell us a little bit about it?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Sheng expectantly.
Xiao Sheng withdrew his stern gaze from Brown Tang and said with a wry smile: "Sorry, I don't know much about the Forest of Steel either. After all, Ziye and I are just temporarily guarding the library for others, and we only know some basic things."
Seeing that everyone was a little disappointed, he continued, "But it is said that even the city lord himself has a very limited understanding of the Forest of Steel, let alone me, but one thing is certain..."
"What?"
Xiao Sheng looked serious: "The Forest of Steel is dangerous...extremely dangerous."
Although he said this, everyone heard a hint of gloating in his tone.
Ziye smiled softly and said, "Don't be curious for now. After all, after Mr. Bai Wu and others leave the Forest of Steel, you can ask them questions."
Question? What a stupid question!
Everyone sneered in their hearts. Everyone could see that Xiao Sheng and Ziye were not well-intentioned. They probably never thought about letting the guy named Bai Mo leave the Forest of Steel alive...
They secretly checked Brown Tang's face, but unfortunately the latter was very calm.
"That's right...that's true."
"Actually, I've heard a rumor, but it's hard to say whether it's true or not." At this moment, someone suddenly said mysteriously.
"What rumor? Come on, tell me!" Everyone's eyes lit up and they asked curiously.
The man smiled slightly: "It is rumored that only those who have passed the test of the Forest of Steel and the Sea of Knowledge can see the true secret of this boundless library..."
Everyone looked at each other, and some people wondered: "But doesn't the Sea of Knowledge refer to the Boundless Library? We are in the library now, where is the test?"
"Then I don't know. Like I said, this is just a rumor I heard. But who knows the best about Wuji Library... then it is undoubtedly the city lord."
Everyone fell silent.
Lord of Wuji City——
Even they have never seen the mysterious being who occupied Wuji City half a year ago and changed the rules of the entire Wuji City. Even they have never seen the true appearance of that guy. At most, they can only judge from the voice that the other person should be a male.
As for his origin and true identity, no one present knew.
And if we have to say who knows the city lord best among the people present, then it is undoubtedly the silent Miss Brown Tang.
But it was obvious that Miss Brown Tang would not talk to them about the city lord.
And no one dared to speak ill of the city lord. After all, that being could monitor the entire Wuji City at any time. If he said something wrong, his current status would definitely be in jeopardy.
"The secret of Wuji City..."
From an angle where no one was watching, Brown Tang took a sip of black tea silently, stroking the ancient cover of the book in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.
"I'm really looking forward to it..."
…
The bright passage has no end in sight, and the various metals on the wall glow with strange lights, like pairs of twinkling eyes, silently peering at everything in the passage.
The air was dead silent, as if it had been like this forever.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps broke the silence in the passage.
Two figures, a man and a woman, appeared in the passage in the distance. The pale man had a cold expression, while the woman with heavy makeup had a worried look on her face.
The relationship between the two is obviously not good.
"Handsome guy, who are you?"
After being silent all the way, Li Youji finally couldn't help but ask, and after noticing Bai Mo's indifferent eyes, her scalp went numb for a moment, and she quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong, after all, I am engaged in intelligence work, and I am always familiar with this aspect.
There are some good ones…”
"If you are not willing to exchange information, then keep your mouth shut."
Bai Mo thought, "Maybe I should really only bring six hands with me... That way at least it won't be so noisy."
Li Youji's face instantly turned pale. He quickly hid his hands behind his back and said with a sneer: "Don't do this. After all, if you don't have me, your next journey may be very boring..."
Bai Mo ignored her.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of cutting off his hand, Li Youji couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, then rolled his eyes and asked: "But handsome guy, I have a question - what if it takes more than just everyone to open the final door?"
What if other factors are needed for the fingerprint? For example, the iris..."
Bai Mo stopped and gave her a cold look.
"Then I will dig out your eyes and tear off your mouth."
Li Youji was horrified: "Why...why?"
"Didn't you personally say that the condition for opening the last door is for everyone to press their hands on the door? If there is a problem, of course it will be on you."
But to be honest, Bai Mo is not really worried about this issue.
He knew very well that there seemed to be nothing weird about the woman in front of him, but she was probably very thoughtful, otherwise she would not be able to do intelligence work.
If there is anything wrong with his previous actions, since it involves his own interests, this woman will definitely remind him what to do——
However, the other party did not do this, and the meaning is self-evident.
If you want to find a way to find out this guy's true purpose...
At the same time, Li Youji across from him swallowed his saliva.
Bai Mo's tone was too serious, and she really didn't dare to say the words "I'm actually not sure"...
In this way, with an uneasy heart, Li Youji carefully followed Bai Mo, overcame various dangers, and finally saw a barrier blocking the passage——
It was a thin curtain of light.
In other words...this is the so-called seventh door.
"If I remember correctly, you said there is a secret hidden in the lock of this door?"
"Um."
Li Youji nodded and stared at the light screen in front of him.
Bai Mo was also staring ahead. This light curtain was very thin. Through it, he could clearly see the scene behind the passage. It didn't look very solid. Other than that, there was nothing special about it.
But things obviously won't be that simple.
He was silent for a moment.
"So...where is the door lock you mentioned?"
There is nothing like a lock on the light curtain.
"Don't worry."
Li Youji took a deep breath, quickly walked towards the light screen and pressed his hand on it.
In an instant, bright ripples appeared on the light screen, spreading around in circles.
Her expression relaxed and she explained: "There is no door lock on this door. It can also be said that there are door locks everywhere..."
Bai Mo said nothing and had no intention of answering or asking further questions.
So cold...
Li Youji cursed in his heart, but kept a calm expression on his face as he continued: "The place we are in is called the Forest of Steel, and the library in Boundless City is also called the Sea of Knowledge. Rumor has it that both..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Bai Mo interrupted her coldly, "Open the door first."
Perhaps out of caution, he did not approach the door.
Li Youji curled his lips, then said no more. He touched his palms here and there and swayed on the light screen for a while. After a while, the light screen disappeared as if the snow was melting.
Bai Mo looked at this scene calmly and raised his eyebrows.
"alright?"
"alright."
"Where's the secret you want?"
"I got it." Li Youji breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly, "The next step is just to leave the Forest of Steel!"
"Then let's go."
Bai Mo walked straight towards her, seemingly not caring about the so-called secrets the other party said.
However, just when he walked to Li Youji, where the light curtain was before, something changed suddenly.
A dazzling white light suddenly flashed in the passage, with an extremely hot temperature that seemed to burn his sight. Bai Mo couldn't help but close his eyes.
At the same time, he suddenly felt something clinging to his body. It felt strange, cold and sticky, and seemed to be... a tentacle?
These "tentacles" climbed quickly as soon as they clung to him, wrapping around Bai Mo's body almost instantly, and then suddenly tightened, like the strongest rope, completely binding Bai Mo's body, making him unable to move.
Soon, the dazzling white light slowly disappeared.
Rather than disappearing, it is more like gradually shrinking. A human-shaped light curtain enveloped the white ink, like a dazzling bubble, completely surrounding him, like a little golden man.
Bai Mo felt that his physical strength was losing crazily.
He opened his eyes and met Li Youji's smiling eyes.
He lowered his head without saying a word and looked at the things wrapped around him——
It was not a tentacle, but a weird liquid metal, colorful, with black and white lines, and looked like strange-shaped snakes.
The entanglement of these ropes was very tricky, and almost every joint of his body was tightly bound, making it impossible to exert any force.
"What's going on?" he asked calmly.
Unlike Bai Mo, Li Youji had nothing on her body. In order to show her freedom, she even opened her hands and turned around proudly, then looked at Bai Mo with her hands behind her back.
"Oh, what's wrong with you, handsome man?"
She blinked and asked innocently.
"Are you plotting against me?" Bai Mo's face was expressionless.
"How can this be said to be a calculation?"
Li Youji shook his head and said, "You were obviously too anxious. Before I had time to remind you, you approached in such a hurry, so..."
She put her face in front of Bai Mo, breathed out at him, and then smiled.
