According to the brochure, the No. 9 tower has 13 floors above and below ground, making it the tallest and largest tower in the entire 18th arrondissement, and is the main area of activity for the executors.

The first floor on the ground floor is the office area, the second and third floors are libraries, and the fourth floor is the classroom for public classes, where lectures on various subjects are held every day, and the practitioners can freely choose what they are interested in.

The remaining five or six floors are used for experiments, fitness, and training, and they are also used to go by themselves when necessary, all by self-consciousness.

No matter how high the number of layers is, it is not written in the manual, and the executor is not allowed to go up.

The lower floors are all cells where various monsters are kept, and it is the area where the executor executes the monsters.

The deeper the layer, the more dangerous the monster, and even if it is only a relatively safe execution, it is easy to encounter all kinds of accidents.

But there is an additional bounty to earn, and if the high-value part of the monster is successfully recovered, there can also be a commission, which is the most important source of income for the executor, but it takes skill and courage to earn this dangerous money.

Lloyd was not in a hurry about this, as a progressive young man with a higher education, he never helped himself to grow seedlings, just take it step by step.

He walked into an old elevator next to him, closed the fence, pulled down the lever on the wall, and the elevator spewed out a puff of steam, and then made a 'click' sound of gear running, and slowly ascended to the second floor.

As soon as you get out of the elevator, you will be greeted by a magnificent circular library, with towering bookshelves neatly arranged, like a sea of knowledge, which seems to allow people to read books for a lifetime.

I can see a lot of executors in light blue uniforms quietly flipping through books, and sure enough, there is no shortage of hard-working people anywhere.

At the entrance of the library, there is also a dazzling nameplate with two lines of eye-catching proverbs:

"Knowledge is the most precious thing in this era, and it is also the most terrible thing."

"Curiosity is the most necessary quality for exploring knowledge, and it is also the most dangerous quality."

Before Lloyd even entered, he was already in awe, so he went to say hello to the administrator.

The caretaker here looks weird, like a raunchy, decadent ...... Female?

Her whole face was covered by seaweed-like messy hair, she couldn't see anything, she was wearing a dirty, yellowed gray uniform, constantly emitting a pungent smell of alcohol, and her body couldn't tell the level of her chest and back, if she didn't speak, she couldn't assume her gender.

"Huh? Occultism? Third or second on the left? Find out for yourself......"

The Administrator heard of Lloyd's needs, pouted drunkly, and then sat down, seemingly unconscious.

Compared to the hard-working people inside, this administrator looks out of place.

Lloyd had to find the occult books he wanted on his own, which was what he was most interested in at the moment.

When people say 'mystical and transcendental', they refer to the occult and transcendent systems.

Among them, the occult content is extensive, divination, channeling, transport, hypnosis, etc., etc., human beings have not yet fully mastered, can only glimpse the tip of the iceberg, and there are many mysteries waiting to be explored.

But the more mysteries, the more dangers often mean more, not to mention that many things in the occult have a very low threshold, and ordinary people can try them, so the relevant knowledge has been strictly controlled, and the real occult knowledge cannot be accessed outside.

Like the 'love divination' and 'transfer ceremony' in any magazine, these are all jokes of Tu Yile.

Lloyd has long been interested in the occult, especially 'divination', and he has always felt that in order to work hard in this dangerous world, turning evil into good fortune is a necessary skill.

Alerted by another well-meaning executor, he found a copy of the Occult Overviews on the shelf, which was so heavy that it could probably kill a person on both a mental and physical level.

The books here cannot be borrowed, let alone copied privately, and the corresponding experience notes cannot be passed on, so they must be strictly controlled.

Lloyd didn't have any idea of this, so he found a random place to sit down and read carefully.

With the bonus of 14 points of [cognition], as well as the help of [efficient learning] skills, these knowledge in the book may be a little advanced for ordinary people, but it does not constitute any obstacle to him, and it reads smoothly and silkily, and the reading experience is very good.

After he had finished reading for an hour, a prompt sounded in his ears:

【Ding~Madness +5, Skill Fragment +1】

Hey?

Lloyd wasn't surprised by the fact that reading books could 'gain skills', but he didn't expect it to be in this form.

But why can it increase the value of madness?

Being able to gain madness points means that he is mentally polluted......

Although it is very light, and a person of sound mind only needs a few minutes of rest to recover without the help of the attribute panel, this is only an entry-level knowledge.

Lloyd suddenly understood why the knowledge here should be strictly controlled, and also understood the meaning of the two proverbs at the door.

Fortunately, for him, the higher the madness value, the better, it's not a big problem, keep gnawing books!

He continued to read for another two hours, and did not reluctantly put down the book until lunchtime.

I read the book for a total of three hours, and I gained 15 madness points and 3 skill fragments, and I can't add points yet, and I haven't unlocked new skills.

"Have a meal, continue in the afternoon, and strive to finish this book today and tomorrow."

Lloyd set himself a simple little goal.

He'd added a few points and wanted to see what it's like to 'acquire skills'.

He left the library and followed the instructions of the manual to find the cafeteria near Tower Nine.

There is no hustle and bustle of ordinary canteens here, there are not many people dining inside, and they are very tacitly quiet, at most, they are talking to each other, which is extraordinarily reserved, and naturally there is a little less fireworks, and a little more depression and indifference.

"I don't hate this atmosphere, after all, I'm also a reserved and introverted literary youth."

Lloyd whispered, grabbing some food at random.

The food is very good, comparable to the level of a severed head meal; The price is even cheaper, so it is symbolic to charge a little.

Anyway, after experiencing it for half a day, Lloyd can't say that he loves it here, he can only say that he doesn't want to move his nest.

After a simple meal, he kept soaking in the library until 8 o'clock in the evening, when he heard another prompt ringing in his ears:

【Ding~Madness +5, Skill Fragment +1】

[Obtained enough skill fragments to unlock skills - Divination, LV1]
