Edberg was soon found.

Or to be more precise, Edberg reached out to Guti.

And when Guti told the other party what happened in the cafeteria, the head chef was obviously silent for a second, and then took a deep breath.

"Good!"

"2567, you've passed my test."

"Now you're part of the E-sector cafeteria, but...... In the future, you won't be able to enter the food room without my permission! ”

Even through the communicator, Guti could imagine the head chef gritting his teeth at the moment.

And Qin Ran, who had expected it, put the last piece of beef on the plate into his mouth, and then slowly asked: "I'm a 'food taster', if I don't go to the food room, where is it?" ”

Expectation does not mean acceptance.

Qin Ran was fighting for the last possibility for himself.

It's a pity that Edberg completely ignored Qin Ran's argument.

"You can go wherever you want!"

"But you're not allowed to enter the food room!"

After saying that, the communicator was interrupted.

There was anger in the words, but more anxiety in the words.

Qin Ran looked at the disconnected communicator, raised his right hand and pinched his chin, with a slight thought in his eyes.

"Is it "Guanshilu"?"

Before, Edberg connected the communicator after Qin Ran entered the food room.

The other party thought that with the heavy, soundproof door of the food room as an obstacle, it was impossible for Qin Ran to hear what he said.

So, there was no more cover-up, just a low voice.

But for Qin Ran, who has advanced perception, not to mention the blocking of a door, as long as it is within a certain range, even if it is separated by several layers of walls, it is clear to the ear, even if the door is actually more soundproof than several layers of walls.

However, what Qin Ran cared about most at the moment was what was going on!

You must know that the rumor that Rude let the two subordinates take a walk before was also about "Guan Shilu", but Qin Ran didn't believe that those two students could have such great ability, and they turned fake into real in just one day, so that Teorit's teachers began to move, if the other party really had such ability, Rude would not be able to control it at all.

To put it simply, if it weren't for Ruud's blind cat encountering a dead mouse, he happened to meet the "Guan Shilu" that appeared in people's field of vision at this time, or it would have been ...... Someone is adding fuel to the fire!

There are too many coincidences in the former, Qin Ran will not believe it.

And the latter?

Qin Ran's eyes narrowed.

Ruud was for the 'main meal' level food in the 'Delton Laboratory', and after the other party was killed by the superior evil spirit, this goal became his.

So, what is that enabler for?

Questions arise unconsciously in my mind.

This made Qin Ran realize that he had to go to the library again to check what kind of items the "Guan Shi Lu" was.

In yesterday's check, Qin Ran, who had focused most of his attention on collecting information, did not find any records about the "Guan Shi Lu", and the information that the upper evil spirit got from Rude was also very vague, and he could only confirm that the "Guan Shi Lu" seemed to be a very high-level cookbook.

As for more?

Not anymore.

Even, Ruud's knowledge of "Guan Shilu" was only a chance to hear Professor Delton's gossip.

"I'll leave it to you."

After Qin Ran said a word to Guti, who had been standing beside him, he walked towards the restaurant on the ground.

Guti could see that Qin Ran should be going to do something important.

However, she did not ask.

There was no personal relationship of that degree.

Moreover, the next thing is enough for Guti to have a headache.

Looking at the food room occupied by plates and chopsticks, Guti sighed and picked up the communicator.

"Shelley told everyone that it was resolved."

"And ......"

"Get two people down."

……

Guti's busyness, Qin Ran didn't know, and then returned to the apartment, brought the three borrowed books, and when he came to the library in Area E, the sky had completely darkened.

The library is still brightly lit, but there are very few people inside.

Teorit's night was not peaceful.

On the first page of the student handbook, it is clearly stated that students below the fourth grade are not allowed to appear on the streets of Teorit at night.

And last night, Qin Ran had already slightly understood why.

Qin Ran was noncommittal about Teorrite's way of arranging similar monsters as a test.

If you choose to be a maverick, then you must have the corresponding strength.

If you don't have the strength but want to force something special, such a person will not understand what wrong decision he has made until the moment of death.

Showing the school emblem to the guards of the library at night, Qin Ran walked to the service desk, which was already empty, put the books in the night return basket according to the instructions above, and swept the school emblem outside the basket, looking at the display embedded in the basket, after the words "returned" appeared, Qin Ran walked towards the east area on the first floor.

Last night's reading has given Qin Ran a general understanding of the placement of books on the first floor of the library, although the east area is marked with history, geography, humanities and the like, but there are a lot of miscellaneous books, which are completely different from the professional books in the south, west, and north districts.

Bookshelves after bookshelves.

Qin Ran carefully found it from above.

When all the bookshelves were checked, it was already an hour later.

The result was nothing.

Shaking his head slightly, Qin Ran, who had already prepared in his heart, walked towards the second floor.

In the stairwell at the corner of the second floor, a glass door blocked Qin Ran's way.

Unlike the first floor, which is open to all students, access to the second floor of the library requires special privileges, including but not limited to the head students of each grade, members of the student council, and so on.

Take out the school badge and shake it on the sensor in front of the glass door.

Quietly, the glass door opened to the sides, revealing a passage large enough for one person to walk.

Qin Ran stepped over and went straight to the second floor.

After about two minutes, Qin Ran determined that the layout of the second floor of the library was exactly the same as the first floor.

Without any pause, Qin Ran walked towards the east area on the second floor.

On the premise of not having an index as a premise, Qin Ran could only follow the previous method and start searching for books that might be related to "Guan Shilu" little by little, and from time to time he would pull out a book and flip through the catalog.

Under such a premise, Qin Ran's speed was certainly not fast.

Even, slower than on the first floor.

After all, Qin Ran had already roughly browsed the books on the first floor last night, and at least had the corresponding memories, while the second layer was completely unfamiliar.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Qin Ran didn't have any impatience.

As patient and calm as at the beginning.

And when he browsed half of the bookshelves in the east area of the second floor, he suddenly stopped his movements, turned his head slightly, and looked at the end of the passage made of two layers of bookbuildings.

A white, gloomy figure appeared.

The long hair hung straight down, obscuring the face.

Squeak!

In the sound of electricity, a bright light suddenly flashed.

Although it lit up immediately, the brief darkness seemed to give the white figure a teleportation-like speed, and when the light reappeared, the white figure had already appeared in front of where Qin Ran was supposed to stand, and tilted his head, his neck twisted, and made a click, click, click.

Can......

Qin Ran was no longer there.

There was no expected fright and screaming, and all that was in front of the other party was a bookshelf and a book.

The sudden accident made the other party stunned.

Then, the other party heard an inquiry from behind him.

"Do you know where there is a record of "Guan Shilu"?"

The sound is calm and steady.

The other man immediately turned and looked at the man standing behind him, and let out a low laugh, which was sharp and piercing, like the feeling of sticking out his fingernails on a blackboard.

"Do you think I'm pretty?"

In the other party's eerie voice, the long hair that had been covering his face flew back like this, revealing the other party's face.

Swelling and rotting, when Qin Ran's eyes looked at this face, something resembling a pustule burst out of the other party's face, and yellow-green juice flowed out like this.

Qin Ran looked at all this expressionlessly, and he asked repeatedly, "Do you know where there is a record of "Guan Shilu"? ”

"Do you think I'm pretty?"

The other party didn't seem to hear Qin Ran's words, and asked again.

Moreover, more pus erupted on the other party's face, and in some places there were even a few maggots.

Twice he didn't get the answer he wanted, which made Qin Ran frown.

Then, he changed the way he asked.

Bang!

Qin Ran raised a foot and stepped on that face.

The white figure fell to the ground heavily, and its already ugly and hideous face immediately became more and more inhuman after being hit hard.

Moreover, Qin Ran did not stop.

Bang, bang!

One foot after another, one foot after another.

Between the flesh and blood, there was a sound like a gossamer from under Qin Ran's feet.

"Wait, wait!"

"I know where the books about Guan Shilu are!"

……

"Terrible! It's horrible! ”

Standt flipped through the Secret Tales of Teorret, which he had just bought from a third-grader for a high price.

Although Stalter worked hard to collect the corresponding information when he came to Teorit, the outside world knew too little about the mysterious Teorit, even if Stalter worked very hard, the information collected was still not enough to deal with the trouble he might encounter in Teorit.

So, after officially becoming a student of Theorit, he spent more energy and money and began to gather all the information he could.

And there are definitely not a few people like Xiang Salter.

As a result, many senior students make a small profit at this time.

"What's wrong?"

Mika, who was already asleep, heard Stalter's exclamation and immediately jumped down from the top bunk, looking vigilant.

As the deputies of the chief student, the two were naturally assigned to the same room.

Unlike the private rooms of the chief students, the average student needs four to six people to be together, and use the common living room and bathroom.

The chief student's deputy is a little better, and can use one apartment for two people, and has a separate reception room and washroom.

"Look here!"

"Torturers in the library!"

Facing Mika, who was awakened, Stalter immediately handed over the notes in his hand.

Maika, who instantly understood what was going on, looked at Stalter with dissatisfaction, but still took the note, two days together was enough for him to understand how difficult his bunk was, and if he didn't look, the other party would definitely buzz in his ears like flies all night.

In order to let himself sleep a little longer, Maika planned to perfunctory the other party, but after seeing the above record, Maika couldn't help but scoff.

"On Monday nights in the Block E Library, there's a good chance that an interrogator will appear on the second floor, asking you if it's pretty (white, with black hair covering its face, ugly face, and hideous — according to hearsay), and if you say it's beautiful against your will, it'll yell at the dishonest person not to speak again, and pull out your tongue and rip it off."

"But if you honestly say it's ugly, it will say that people who judge people by their looks are not worthy to speak anymore, and then pull out your tongue and rip it off."

"What are you kidding?!"

"This record of pretending to be a ghost, would you believe it?"

Maika tossed her notes to Stant, and with a snap of her hand, jumped onto the top bunk.

"Why don't you believe it?"

"You know, this is Treot!"

"Teorit is rumored to be connecting the 'secret realm' with reality!"

Stalter got up and stood on the ground, facing Mika, who was lying on the top bunk.

"That's right!"

"I know this is Teorit, magical, mysterious, dangerous Teorit!"

"But something like an urban legend like the torturer is nothing more than a rumor by people, and most of them are fools like you by boring people."

As she spoke, Maika pulled up the covers and prepared to go back to sleep, but was immediately stopped by Stalter.

"The torturer is not an urban legend, it is written that the torturer was originally a kind student, but he became a torturer after an accident in the library of Area E, and it is rumored that as long as someone can 'save' the torturer, he will be rewarded handsomely!"

Standt emphasized, tugging at Mika's quilt.

"Was that accident that the original torturer liked a certain male student, but as a result, he was killed by a girl who also liked that boy before he could confess? And, was disfigured before he died? And the girl who killed her didn't want to do it in the first place, just because she was careless? ”

Mika, who was pulled under the quilt, looked at Stalter angrily.

"How do you know?"

Standt flipped through the back of his notes and looked at Mika in surprise.

"This kind of third-rate story, I can make up ten for you in a minute."

"Now forget about the unreliable 'torturer' and go to bed immediately."

"Don't forget that tomorrow will be our first class!"

Maika rolled her eyes and covered herself with the covers again.

Looking at Maika, who had completely wrapped himself in, Stant didn't pull the other party's quilt anymore, and by this time, he also began to doubt the authenticity of the torturer's existence.

However, this did not make Stantt put down his notes, he dimmed the light, and continued to lean back on the bed and read carefully.

……

On the second floor of the library in Area E, under the bright lights, after the torturer got up from under Qin Ran's feet, his long black hair was neatly combed behind his head, and his ugly and hideous appearance had long since disappeared, replaced by a medium-to-upper appearance, with a white dress, looking gentle and quiet.

"Thank you for 'saving' me, I don't really want to be a 'torturer', it's just an obsession in my heart that makes me ...... involuntarily"

Bang!

Before the torturer's words were finished, the whole person was trampled under Qin Ran's feet again.

Immediately, more direct words came from under the soles of the shoes.

"I'll take you to find books related to "Guan Shilu" right away!"
