Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 115: Secrets of the Library (2)

(Students in Section C don't seem any more numerous than those in Section A, but you notice that their expressions are incredibly vacant.)

(You suspect that this might have something to do with the weird energy permeating Section C.)

(Low ceilings, dim lighting, and deep, long corridors.)

(Such a stifling and silent atmosphere, even without the weird forces, would be enough to unsettle anyone entering this section.)

(You wander between the bookshelves in Section C.)

(The books on these shelves are more numerous than in Section A, but you can't comprehend the text within them.)

(At last, on the final shelf of Section C, you discover a unique book.)

(Between its pages, there's a slip of paper. Picking it up, you see handwritten sentences on it, with a style identical to what you found in your pencil case earlier.)

([If a human's weighs 3.5 kilograms, how much would a civilization weigh?])

(You frown in confusion.)

(It's impossible for a human to weigh only 3.5 kilograms.)

(And how can one weigh a concept as abstract as civilization?)

(Unable to find an answer, you flip open the book, only to find its pages entirely empty.)

(You end the deduction!)

"Um... It seems that I have to see that book for myself."

Gu Yi picked up the feather duster and continued to wipe the dust off the bookshelf.

...

Inside the real world.

The strategy team of Dragon Country is tracking all the people barraging negative comments, but there are too many people sending these comments. The strategy team simply didn't have enough manpower to deal with them, so they had to ask the police for help.

The negative energy spread more and more. For a while, the screen was full of comments saying "Die".

"Sigh— It's hard to understand."

"That's mob mentality for you."

Qu Kangping sighed.

At this time, Gu Yi was working intently in the library, and the barrage of comments was still full of abuses.

"Die, and a million families will be safe!"

"Die, and a million families will be safe!"

"Die, and a million families will be safe!"

Qu Kangping frowned. He couldn't block these comments. Occasionally, a few people would speak up for Gu Yi, but their comments would be immediately overwhelmed by the trolls.

"Leader, do you think fanatics might have sneaked in?"

"I think so too," Qu Kangping said. "They know we've caught Jin Xin, so they will definitely retaliate. Attacking people in the comments is one of their usual tricks. Communicate with Hu Chang and ask him to intensify the investigation."

"Yes."

Gu Yi kept working in the library without much intrigue, so Qu Kangping had to check the situation in other countries.

Most adventurers chose to study in libraries. They searched between the bookshelves without any findings.

An adventurer from the Sakura Country awakened a power-related talent. He went alone to challenge the librarian of Section B and successfully defeated him, entering Section B.

However, he got lost in Section B, leading to a mental breakdown, and he actually used a hammer to smash his own head.

Many citizens of the Sakura Country cheered and rejoiced because whether the adventurer succeeded in revealing the truth or died halfway, they didn't have to worry about being invaded by weird powers.

Qu Kangping shook his head, feeling sorry for the sacrificed adventurers. He believed that the weird world wouldn't be so kind, and it's unlikely that if an adventurer died, people in the real world wouldn't face any consequences.

There must be some conspiracy.

The dungeon had just started, and Qu Kangping couldn't make much sense out of it.

Qu Kangping then turned his attention to the Lighthouse Country. Surprisingly, Chris, contrary to everyone's expectations, chose to stay in the dormitory building while everyone else went to the library.

...

"Chris, you're a beast!"

"You better die in this world, your death would be a contribution to all of humanity."

"Die quickly, die quickly!"

Like Gu Yi, Chris could also see the barrage of comments from the real world.

However, he didn't care about the insults at all.

On the contrary, the more viciously these people cursed, the more excited Chris became.

"Shortsighted, ignorant, weak, and pathetic."

Chris smirked, enjoying the comments in his field of view, and headed toward Monkey's room. He kicked the dormitory door open and dragged Monkey out of his bed.

"Get out, yellow-skinned monkey!"

"Ouch! Let go!"

Monkey looked at Chris in terror.

"Did you steal my wallet?"

"Steal your wallet? Don't falsely accuse me!"

"When I say you stole my wallet, it means you stole my wallet."

"What do you want, stop it, mmm—"

Chris covered Monkey's mouth with one hand, and with the other, he grabbed Monkey's neck and began heading downstairs.

Most people in the dormitory had gone to the library to study, and the rest were mostly resting in their rooms. No one saw Chris abducting Monkey.

Chris arrived at the basement door and kicked it open.

The stairs led straight down, seemingly bottomless.

Chris closed his eyes, and under his spiritual vision, the details of the basement became clear. Right in the middle of the basement was a thick dictionary, which was surely the plot item required to clear the dungeon.

"Monkey, do me a favor," Chris said with a grin, "Go down there and fetch something for me. As long as you're fast enough, you'll be fine."

"Mmm—."

Monkey kept waving his hands, eyes filled with terror. He had just been beaten by Gao Da and Gao Qiang, both of his eyes were swollen. Tears streamed from between his swollen eyelids.

"You won't go?"

Chris pressed Monkey against the wall, took out a pen from his pocket, and aimed it at Monkey's eye.

The tip of the pen was almost touching Monkey's swollen eyelid, and he screamed out in fear.

"I can't last more than a second in the void! I'll definitely die!"

"That's fine, I can help you last five seconds down there. I just need you to run to the basement and bring me the dictionary in the middle."

"What dictionary?"

"Stop talking nonsense and just go!"

Chris grabbed Monkey and pushed him down the stairs.

Monkey screamed as he fell.

Chris smirked, and suddenly twenty evil spirits appeared behind him, 7 boys and 13 girls. Each of the spirits looked no older than 5 years.

The twenty spirits chattered as they passed through Monkey's body, making him shiver uncontrollably.

"What the hell?"

Monkey landed on the ground.

He noticed that the twenty spirits had pushed the voids to both sides, leaving a pathway for him. However, the tidal waters of the void blocked his way back.

"You only have five seconds, hurry up!"

Chris's voice echoed from above.

Monkey yelled and dashed to the middle of the basement, where he indeed found the dictionary on the floor.

"I found it!"

Holding the dictionary, Monkey ran back.

The spirits cleared the way for him, but the bluish glow on them dimmed progressively.

"Help! Save me!"

"You have three seconds left. Three — two — one!"
