Chapter Twenty-Six: The Uninvited Guest

What can be seen is that Chu Ge kept quickly selecting books from the shelves, and immediately ripped off a page after opening them, received them in his pocket, and kept repeating the process.

Because of his speed, his selection of books seems to be irregular, whether it is from the serial number of the bookshelf or the number of layers where the books are located, they are all chaotic numbers, and the number of pages torn off the paper is the result of random flipping.

After selecting thirteen blank sheets of paper from the different bookshelves, Chu Ge came to the vacant place in the center of the bookshelf, and laid each white paper on the black-dyed floor tiles in turn.

The pitch black had already solidified into rough lumps from drying, but when the paper came into contact with them, it immediately and quickly melted, soaking every inch of the white paper.

In the light of the lamp, the blackened paper reflected a metallic sheen, but that's allβ€”

No changes have occurred.

Neither the trap nor the circle is triggered.

It's just the paper that has been dyed black.

Chu Ge's brows furrowed again, and they were deeper than before.

According to the method he remembered, there should be no mistake in the order in which the papers were picked, but why was there only the first step of the reaction?

Could it be that there is a mistake in the method of cracking? But this is obviously one of the ultimate secrets of healing the church, what is the problem?

Suddenly, Chu Ge slapped himself on the forehead as if he had thought of something.

"I really shouldn't ......"

He suddenly realized his mistake.

It's not that there is a mistake in the method or details, but when I think about this problem, there is a basic deviation from the root, and I completely go in the wrong direction.

Come to think of it, Baron Said managed to find that core in his previous life!

However, as Baron Said, he would never know the secret information about the healing church, not even the most superficial kind!

Chu Ge has always been using his own thinking to solve problems, without putting himself in the shoes of the situation that happened in his previous life.

Preconceived notions shackle him, so that he always thinks from his own point of view, thinking about those hidden and special clues, without realizing the crux of the problem.

As a lord of a remote town, what kind of means will Baron Said, who has not seen much, use to find the core of the circle?

The answer is already coming out, a very simple word, dig!

His target was the paper-covered bricks.

When the dagger was inserted into the gap between the green bricks, the deeply hidden stench suddenly became thick, if it weren't for the fact that there must be a secret in this library, I believe that Baron Said in the previous life would definitely not be willing to stay for half a second longer.

When the thirteen bricks were pried up, what was hidden underneath was revealed, a peculiar switch, similar to some kind of small valve, the structure looked very simple, just flip it.

As soon as the mechanism was pulled down, there was a sound of the spring gears turning under the bookshelf, and a low roar followed.

The bookshelves moved for about half a minute, after which the original circular order was completely disrupted and turned into a complete circle, and on the floor in the center of the circle, a long flat stone table was raised, and a crimson crystal was placed on the stone table.

There was no need for anyone to explain, Chu Ge also understood the role of this thing in front of him, but this was not what he was going to do at the moment.

However, he was still very cooperative, with a look of surprise on his face, and his mental state was at its most relaxed stage - just what it looked like, of course.

The purpose, of course, was to welcome the malicious guest.

As if stretching his waist, Chu Ge turned sideways very naturally, narrowly dodging the dagger that broke the wind!

After the fatal blow he stabbed into the opponent's waist missed, an unbelievable expression appeared on Rand's face, as if he couldn't believe that his attack had failed because of such an accident!

This is certainly not an accident.

As early as when Chu Ge stepped into the flower garden, he had already noticed that there were other people nearby, and after he entered the house, the uninvited guest also quietly followed.

After some thought, Chu Ge immediately guessed the identity of the person who came, and quickly deduced the strength of the other party.

Except that he has not undergone the first baptism, he is not much different from the second order in other aspects, and is at the peak of the first order.

This kind of guy, even if he fights head-on, he has no reason to fail, but the opponent's agility attribute is undoubtedly much higher than his own, and if the enemy really wants to escape, it will be difficult for him to catch up.

Therefore, in order to add a little bit of the other party's self-confidence, Chu Ge deliberately sold a small flaw just now, with the intention of achieving an effect with one blow!

After the surprise attack failed, under the action of inertia, Rand's body staggered away from behind Chu Ge, and at this moment, the dagger that Chu Ge put behind his waist was also pulled out in an instant!

After the failure of the surprise attack, which he thought was a one-hit kill, Rand paid the price for his actions.

Not only did he expose his back, but even his body was sprinting at high speed, unable to make other effective remedies.

Without any superfluous movements, Chu Ge bent his knees slightly, held the handle of the knife with his backhand, and the blade rubbed against the sheath and galloped out, and a blow like moonlight directly cut Rand's calf muscles.

By the way, before leaving, Chu Ge replaced the dagger behind his waist with a serrated dagger, and then he was very lucky to hit the dagger's passive ability in the blow just now: tearing!

[Passive Skill: Tear, due to the design of this weapon, you have a 20% chance to cause the enemy to enter a bleeding state of 6 points/minute when attacking, and the effect lasts for a minimum of 30 seconds.] 】

Judging from the wound on the other person's leg, if it is not treated in time, it is normal for this negative state to last for a few minutes.

Although the amount of damage is very low, for a first-tier thief, being able to have more than 20 health is quite a good statistic, so even an average of 0.1 per second is quite terrible damage!

In fact, these are just icing on the cake, and the effect is just to save Chu Ge a little time.

His real purpose is nothing more than to damage the other party's legs, restrict his movements, and prevent the other party from having the opportunity to escape back and report the news.

After losing mobility with an injury to one foot, even if Rand escaped, it would only cause the wound to widen, and he was finally pursued to death by Chu Ge.
