The stopped time returns to zero after the Gu Insect's Eye pulls him away.
Jiang Yaoqing successfully logged out.
System sound drops.
A stick of incense appeared in Jiang Yaoqing's hand.
got it.
It's a pity that the captain's medal cannot heal one's injuries.
Jiang Yaoqing stood up with her knees on her knees, and happened to face Jiang Yubai who stood up.
"came back?"
"came back."
Jiang Yaoqing raised the incense in her hand and was supported by Jiang Yubai. She said without hesitation: "Let's go to the third floor."
——
Lu Xingye carried Linchi Liu on his back, and several people came to the electronic door.
Sophia placed the ingredients they got in order according to the dishes on the menu.
【drop】
[Congratulations on successfully opening the door to the third floor]
[Warm reminder, the current remaining time is: 04:30]
Four and a half minutes left.
Jiang Yaoqing took a deep breath, looked at the teammates behind her, and went straight to the third floor.
[Welcome to the third floor of the Bone Collecting Tower, the reading room]
[Current progress: 80%]
The sound of the system fell on several people's ears.
You can go out soon.
Linchi Liu was still in a coma. Sophia and Jiang Yubai walked in front with flashlights. Lu Xingye walked in the middle with Linchi Liu on his back, and Jiang Yaoqing followed closely behind.
The third floor is the reading room.
You should be able to find some needed clues.
"There seems to be electricity here."
Jiang Yubai's flashlight flickered slightly and stopped at the [Electrical Maintenance Room] not far away.
"I gonna go see."
Sophia volunteered.
"Go ahead and be safe."
Jiang Yao nodded gently to Sophia and scanned the entire third floor with her flashlight.
There are three rows of large bookshelves, and the rest of the space is filled with seats.
Much like a library.
Most of the bookshelves were covered with golden curtains, with a thick layer of dust falling on them.
The moment the flashlight passed by, it seemed that reflective spider silk could still be seen.
"I found it. Here is the main switch of the electric gate."
Sophia's voice came out, and the next moment, the sound of power restoration came from the Bone Collecting Tower.
"Crack."
Jiang Yubai turned on the light switch outside the reading room.
The light bulbs on the third floor of the Bone Collecting Tower first flickered twice, and then all lit up.
The lights are a little dim, probably because they haven't been turned on for too long, and the damage is a bit heavy.
But it’s much more convenient than turning on a flashlight.
Turning off the flashlight, Jiang Yaoqing took the lead in walking to the door leading to the fourth floor.
"The password for this level is four Arabic numerals."
Jiang Yaoqing pinched the combination lock on the door, turned it and opened it.
Sophia came out of the power room, turned off the flashlight, and curiously looked at everything on the third floor.
Lu Xingye carefully placed Linchi Liu on the table. After making sure that Linchi Liu was in good condition, he stood up and walked towards Jiang Yaoqing.
Jiang Yaoqing and Jiang Yubai came down from the stairs, nodded to Lu Xingye, and walked to the bookshelf together.
"There are four of us, and there are three bookshelves here."
“Work in pairs and find key information from these books.”
It was time-consuming to check the information, so Jiang Yaoqing spoke again: "Everyone, please pay attention to the key points and don't waste time."
"It's best to choose books about the Bone Collecting Tower, Changyuan Village, and the history of witchcraft burials. Skip all other books."
"clear!"
After the words fell, Jiang Yubai and Lu Xingye pulled down the golden curtain, revealing the books underneath.
Fortunately, there are not too many books here, so you can barely read them.
Jiang Yaoqing glanced at the bookshelves and frowned slightly.
In addition to some scriptures and basic teaching materials, a large part of them are related to Feng Shui and tombs.
Feng Shui and magic are somewhat related, but they are not the same sect.
"Do many people die every year in Changyuan Village?"
Jiang Yubai also noticed this problem.
"All the books I have here have something to do with tombs."
"Even if there are witchcraft burials, there won't necessarily be books on so many tombs."
Sophia nodded in agreement.
Lu Xingye took out a tomb book on his bookshelf and flipped through a few pages to briefly browse.
"The content seems a little different."
"The contents of these books don't seem to have anything to do with witchcraft burial."
Lu Xingye flipped through a few pages, his eyes paused on one page, and he said thoughtfully: "Compared with teaching people how to bury, the content of these books is more like teaching people how to find a cemetery."
[Current progress: 87%]
Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.
Lu Xingye guessed correctly.
"So, the people in Changyuan Village are a group of tomb robbers?"
Sophia concluded and looked at Jiang Yaoqing doubtfully, as if waiting for Jiang Yaoqing to make a decision.
Jiang Yao's Adam's apple twitched slightly and her eyes swept over the bookshelf.
"Look at what I'm doing, the system beeps are ringing, Xiaolu is right."
"I'm just thinking that if that's the case, a lot of our previous inferences might be wrong."
Everyone present was silent. Jiang Yubai walked to the bookshelf on the other side and picked up a thin booklet.
"This seems to be the record book of the Bone Collection Tower."
"But the inscription above is not the Bone Collecting Tower, but the Soul Residence Tower."
Jiang Yubai turned over the first page. The paper was very thin. Jiang Yubai didn't use much force, and the corners of the paper were crushed and floated into the air with his movements.
"The Bone Picking Tower was formerly called the Spirit-Living Tower."
Jiang Yaoqing and Lu Xingye both knew this and had said it before.
"Yao Qing, Xiaolu," Jiang Yubai frowned and shouted, "and Sophia."
"The content in this booklet seems to have been changed after Yao Qing's experience."
"The protagonist is Pei Xingzhi."
Jiang Yaoqing took out a witchcraft book from her bookshelf and walked to Jiang Yubai's side with the book.
"The recorder may be someone from later generations."
Jiang Yubai looked at the tone recorded above and guessed.
"Pei Xingzhi, the master's most proud disciple, is good at Chinese herbal medicine. He can recognize hundreds of herbs and cure all kinds of diseases at a young age. He is known as a rare talent that only happens once in a thousand years."
"After the master became immortal, a suicide note was handed over to Pei Xingzhi, the director of the orphanage, Song Qinghe."
"Pei Xingzhi is back. He said he found a way to save the master, but unfortunately...it didn't work out."
"Tian was jealous of Yingcai. At the age of only seventeen, Pei Xingzhi died in the Wish Wish Welfare Home. Soon after, the Wish Wish Welfare Home was renamed Heaven Welfare Home."
Jiang Yubai paused for a moment and glanced at Jiang Yaoqing beside him inadvertently.
Jiang Yao had no expression on her face.
Jiang Yubai then read: "I seem to have seen Pei Xingzhi today."
"But he changed his name to Sisili..."
Sisili?
Jiang Yubai paused and glanced at Jiang Yaoqing again.
Jiang Yaoqing: "..."
"Why do you keep looking at me? Read it quickly."
Jiang Yaoqing blinked her amber eyes and urged. Jiang Yubai didn't know why he was looking at Jiang Yaoqing, so he cleared his throat and continued to read.
"Sisili and Pei Xingzhi are really similar. They just look like soulless zombies."
"He said he wanted to come back and visit."
"He is back."
"God's will has taken over the entire Spirit-Living Tower."
"God said that the Spirit-Living Tower should be renamed the Bone-Collecting Tower."
"God said that starting today, everyone in the Bone Collecting Tower will go to the Wu Gu Burial Tomb in Changyuan Village to look for the 206 bones buried in the tomb of the Wu Gu Burial Master."
"God said he loved him."
