"An invisible hallway?"

Yang Lingling found it very interesting, unlike Yang Wuji, who hated Riddlers the most, Yang Lingling belonged to the people who could enjoy every part of the content of the "game".

The black-robed man on the other side nodded and began to explain to Yang Lingling.

It turned out that the first owner of the Civic Library, that is, the big slave owner of the year, in order to prevent large-scale bandit invasions and wars, specially invited someone to design a "mezzanine" in the manor building.

This "mezzanine" must pass through a specific door and use a specific technique and direction to turn the doorknob before it can be entered.

It's like building a part of the wall between the corridor and the room into macaroni!

Through this narrow mezzanine, you can walk to a basement-like basement, but in fact, it is an additional layer of hidden space created by taking advantage of the visual difference between the front and back of the building.

This layer of space is not only waterproof and fireproof, but also can be kept ventilated, not afraid of toxic gases, and the outside is covered with green plants and rock and soil, which cannot be detected by the naked eye or by various physical means!

"I see...... This can be done with architectural design alone...... It's amazing. ”

Yang Lingling nodded and praised, as a person in the future, she has long been accustomed to letting intelligent software do some design and auxiliary work.

And this kind of design achievement achieved through her own creativity, genius, and use of backward technology made her very impressed.

"May I ask why you know so much about this?"

Yang Lingling finally asked a question, and the black-robed man was silent for a moment, and then replied to her with a smile:

"Of course, you are the administrator of the energy network, and we hermit brotherhoods do not need to hide it from you. The reason why I am so familiar with the Juventukin Civic Library is that it was my ancestors who designed the building. This building is one of his masterpieces, and all the drawings and design drafts are well preserved in my ancestral home, which I also visited many times when I was young, and I still remember it vividly. ”

The answer of the man in black made Yang Lingling a little puzzled:

"Hermit Brotherhood? Aren't you the bishops of eternal life? ”

"Of course not," the man in black continued, his tone tinged with pride, "The so-called Sect of the Bishops of Eternal Life is just the name of those who are stupid and blind. They can't understand the existence of a higher civilization, so they worship the names associated with them as gods, but we hermit brotherhoods are different. ”

As he spoke, the man in black bowed to Yang Lingling and paid respect:

"We are all truth-seekers, and through research, decipherment, we have understood the true meaning of Char's message to us, and in order to seek the eternal path, we have voluntarily accepted the 'transformation', hoping that one day, we will be able to join the energy network with an immortal body and embark on the road of endless knowledge exploration."

As soon as he said this, Yang Lingling understood, it seems that this hermit brotherhood is the one who chose the "mage" route that Char said.

This group of people are basically scholars, experts and researchers from all walks of life, and they have the most complete information in their hands.

"It seems that I will have to make more use of this hermit brotherhood in the future, so that I can have a lot of strength left to find the 'treasure'."

As Yang Lingling had guessed, the Hermit Brotherhood member who answered her question had chosen to receive Core Energy as a reward for the mission, in order to increase the level of "Elemental Energy" he mastered and speed up his progress in transforming into an "Energy Being".

After coming out of the dream, Yang Lingling's confidence has increased greatly, and now she is the one who has the initiative!

However, for the sake of safety, Yang Lingling did not immediately search for the secret room, but still eavesdropped on the conversation of those high-level cult leaders.

From their conversations, it could be heard that these cultists entrenched in the library were already planning to retreat.

After all, so many cultists have gathered together, and the target is still too big, and now the forces of the police and the army are being transferred to Juventus in an orderly manner.

Unless the sacrificial ceremony can be held immediately, no matter how you look at it, the actions of the Tide Caller Sect in Juventugin City are already in full swing.

Hearing this, Yang Lingling stopped continuing, she knew that now was indeed the best time.

So she got up and left the hideout, following the message told to her by the Hermit Brotherhood member in the dream, and went to the library's secret room.

In several hallways, she manipulated the doorknobs of several reading rooms in accordance with the message, and then reopened the side doors in one of the rooms in the central hallway.

Sure enough, a very narrow corridor that was only big enough for one person to walk appeared in front of Yang Lingling.

She walked down the corridor and made it to the chamber.

The chamber has a steel door with a sturdy lock. However, this purely mechanical door lock was quickly pried open in front of Yang Lingling's water energy.

Walking into the secret room, all kinds of precious antiques, paintings and statues appeared in front of Yang Lingling.

Among them, a statue about half a meter high, with an octopus head, a human body, and a disgusting tentacle on the lower body, immediately attracted Yang Lingling's attention.

"This should be the so-called 'Poseidon Statue', right?"

Yang Lingling stepped forward and observed the statue itself.

Although the statue is not large, it is made of an unknown material, it looks like jadeite, but there is a faint burst of radioactive energy emanating from it, and if you get closer, you can feel as if it has been pricked by fine and sharp hairs on its skin.

The most bizarre thing is the statue's eyes, which are as black as gems, but after looking at them for a long time, you will feel that the surrounding scenery begins to distort.

"yes, that's it."

This statue is so weird, it should be the core of the sealing enchantment!

Yang Lingling searched in the secret room and found a white cloth that blocked the effect of the painting, wrapped the statue of the sea god with white cloth, and made it into a cloth bag, which was put on her shoulder.

"Good guys!" As soon as she got started, Yang Lingling was taken aback, this statue was unexpectedly heavy, it looked like it was one or two hundred catties at most, but it actually weighed at least a thousand catties!

However, for her current physique, taking this statue is no different from taking a brick.

Yang Lingling carried the statue and secretly left the library all the way like a burglar.

She first went around the back of the library, found a nearby hotel, opened a room, hid the statue in the room, and then pretended to have escaped from the library and rushed to the meeting place outside the library.

At the meeting place, Jackman and the others were anxiously waiting.

Seeing Yang Lingling rushing over, everyone was immediately overjoyed.

"I didn't wait for the lightly injured magician," Yang Lingling didn't wait for them to ask, and preemptively said the lie she had made up:

"I waited inside for a while, and then walked around the library twice, but I didn't find the lightly wounded magician, and I didn't meet the two agents who had infiltrated the enemy. But I've heard from the cultists that they can't find the so-called 'secret room', so they're planning to leave the library. ”

Jackman listened and nodded, about the secret room, Nick and the glasses guy told him just now, and he wasn't worried about what Yang Lingling said:

"Don't worry, the two infiltrated team members have already taken advantage of the chaos to escape, and Riley Kay's rescue team is also safe and sound. As for the lightly injured magician you mentioned, I really didn't see it, and I should still be trapped inside. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Jennifer, who was sitting next to him, throwing bread into his mouth like a jelly bean, and proposed to Yang Lingling:

"Since the other party wants to retreat, then let's add fire to them and let them go faster! Wait, can you let Jennifer's little sister go around and make some noise, deliberately so that the people of the tide caller can see it? The neighborhood is already surrounded by the police, so leave a gap for them to escape, and then we will only need to follow the chase and beat the water dogs! ”

"I have no opinion, it's best to keep the damage to a minimum. What about McCarthy? ”

Yang Lingling nodded, agreeing with Jackman's plan, and at the same time asked casually, Jackman pointed in the direction of the west:

"I asked McCarthy to follow Nick and Bronny to the house of the descendants of the Alphastone family, since the cultists have been looking here for so long and can't find the statue of the sea god, I guess it will be placed in the house of the descendants of the Alphastone family."

Brownie is the name of the glasses guy.

Yang Lingling, who had already secretly obtained the statue, was noncommittal about this, and just asked Jackman when he would start carrying out the intimidation plan.

"Now," Jackman gave a look to a police officer next to him:

"Now there are no more of us except for that magician, as long as that magician is not dead, when we scare the cult people away, he will be safe."

After he finished speaking, Yang Lingling walked up to Jennifer, wiped her mouth, and then pointed to a two-story non-human room that Jackman found:

"Jennifer, go, tear down this building, and we'll go fight the bad guys after the demolition!"

Jennifer had just eaten at this time, and it was when she was at her most energetic, and immediately called out coquettishly, "Okay Hanny!" Then he took two steps towards the house.

I saw her leap to the top of Mount Tai, and directly smashed half of the second floor of the house.

Then there was the sound of "boom, boom" demolition of the house.

Not long after, a police officer ran over to report to Jackman:

"Agent, it's working, a brother saw the cultist slip out of the back door!"

"Where's the quantity?" Jackman didn't dare to be careless and asked carefully.

"Quite a few! At least a few dozen, and there are a lot of those fish-headed weirdos in them! ”

The officer was very excited, he had just seen Jennifer's terrifying power like a giant, and the cultists were obviously frightened by Jennifer.

All you have to do is put a gun behind the cultist's ass, and kill one by one! It's all a real credit!

Jackman waved his hand and gave the order:

"Herald, close the net!"

Yang Lingling met with Riley Kay's group and cooperated with the police to pursue the cultists, killing those cultists to cry out in pain.

Casually counting, there are seven or eight surges, as well as thirty or forty ordinary cultists who have been killed, and the number of ordinary cultists who have been arrested is even higher!

This time it was a hard lesson for the tide callers in Juventus.

The only regret is that even if all those cultists were repulsed, they still didn't find the shadow of the magician in the library.

Jackman was helpless about this, but Yang Lingling felt that something was wrong:

"Could it be that this person was discovered by the cultists, so he was killed, and even the body was taken away?"

According to Nick, this magician can pass through walls, communicate and manipulate critters, and has a few other abilities that he doesn't know about.

This kind of person should have a strong ability to survive, and it is unlikely that he will be caught by those delirious cultists.

Unless......

"Not good!" Yang Lingling thought of a possibility, her heart suddenly sank, and without even saying hello, she suddenly rushed out of the assembly point and rushed towards the hotel where she stored the statue of the sea god.

Her speed was very fast, and it took more than ten minutes for the carriage to run to the place, and Yang Lingling only took three or four minutes to arrive.

However, the bad premonition in her heart still came true, and after breaking through the door of the room, the statue of the sea god that was supposed to be hidden in the closet disappeared at this time.

"Damn!"

Yang Lingling couldn't help but scold.

"That magician, there's definitely something wrong!"

Yang Lingling confirmed her guess.

Since this person has a strong ability to survive, and the cultists did not take the initiative to show up after retreating, but continued to hide in the shadows, it shows that this person must have different intentions!

As for how the magician followed him and found the location of his hidden statue, Yang Lingling didn't have to think about it to know that he must have used small animals such as mice!

It is estimated that when I was searching in the library in the carpet before, I was already targeted by this magician!

Because they are not on the same front, it is estimated that the other party also sent rats and the like to follow Yang Lingling, but I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain in the end.

"Is it an undercover cultist?"

Yang Lingling stood in the hotel room, frowning and thinking.

"It's unlikely, Nick already knew him, and if this man was a cultist, he wouldn't have been able to pass the new FBI test, and whether he was injured or helped hide his teammates, it didn't look like he was acting. So why did he betray the Order? Is it for money? In order to steal the statue and then sell it to the Tidecaller Sect? Or...... Is he the rebel Beyonder, Ciri's accomplice? ”

Without clues, a lot of speculation can't be verified.

Although she was calculated by the "NPC", Yang Lingling was not discouraged, it was precisely because of these unexpected circumstances that this "game" became more and more fun in her eyes!

Now, no matter what kind of magician he is, the top priority of soul power is not to let the statue fall into the hands of the Tidecaller Sect!

Therefore, Yang Lingling immediately decided to rush back to the meeting point and found Jackman.

"What?! You said you found the secret room in the library, and then the statue of the sea god inside has disappeared?? ”

Yang Lingling's words shocked Jackman.

"That's right," she continued to fool Jackman:

"I just suddenly thought of a way to enter the secret room of the library, so I rushed back. But when I opened the secret room, I found that the statue of Poseidon only stored records, and did not take out the records, but the statue itself disappeared! I suspect the magician did it! ”
