When Gu Huaiwei was taking the high-speed train for the last time in the wasteland plane, she met an old woman when she was paying the fine for destroying the robot in the first carriage.

He Jiarui once mentioned that it was an old fortune-teller who guided her to the Oasis Dating Agency.

As to whether these old ladies were the same old lady in front of her, Gu Huaiwei was not sure.

But the person in front of her handed her this note, probably wanting to help her.

The smile on the old woman's skinny and wrinkled face gradually deepened. Her cloudy eyes stared at Gu Huaiwei, revealing a row of uneven yellow teeth.

It looked like she couldn't possibly answer.

Should we just tie her up...ah...or invite her back?

Gu Huaiwei hesitated for a moment and gave up the plan.

After all, the old woman in front of him looked like she didn't have much time left to live, and she couldn't speak. Even if she was taken back to the Oasis Sanatorium, she probably wouldn't be able to live much longer.

Bai Meemie was thinking of tricking people back.

If she could fool him back, she would have achieved the task of "finding the first customer".

Although Bai Meemie’s marketing skills are still immature, she is proactive.

She shook her head and said, "Grandma, the environment in our nursing home is very good. Every room is a sunny room with a large bed. If you move in, I will bring you breakfast every day, fold a bouquet of flowers for you and put it on the windowsill, do your hair, tell jokes and make you happy."

The old woman didn't even pay attention to Bai Meimei. She looked at Gu Huaiwei, raised one hand, and pointed in the direction of the Gray Mist Town Library.

She moved her mouth and made a strange hoarse sound in her throat: "Hehehehe... over there... if you go too late, they will all die."

"Hmm? You can speak." Gu Huaiwei took a step forward.

She reached out, wanting to touch the old woman in front of her, but her fingers touching her body was like penetrating a layer of quicksand.

As the wind blew, the old woman in front of him disappeared into thin air.

"Ah? Why did you leave?" Bai Meimei ran to the spot where the old woman disappeared and looked at the dust on the ground with great disappointment. "I finally met someone."

"Let's go." Gu Huaiwei ruffled Bai Meemie's curly white hair. "There's no way this old woman can become our customer."

"Why?" Bai Meemie pouted. She was very depressed and wanted to dig the ground with her sheep's hooves, but she held back.

My father taught me not to show the parts of myself that are different from humans in front of the operator, because doing so would scare the operator.

Gu Huaiwei stroked the rough yellow bell with her fingers and looked towards the library from above. Her clear eyes blinked under the lenses and her red lips parted slightly. "Because that old woman most likely doesn't belong to this small dimension, I guess she appeared before us just to guide us to our first guest."

Bai Meemie looked up and asked, "Sister Gu, do you know that old woman?"

"I don't know him." Gu Huaiwei asked, "Is he from Paradise?"

"I have no impression." Bai Meemie held her face with her hands, feeling a little regretful. "Well, since we can't pull it into the store, let's quickly change to the next target."

Going down the stairs of the bell tower, there were several broken stairs in the middle. Gu Huaiwei had to use her hands and feet to climb down. When there was only two or three meters left, she simply flipped over and jumped down.

Bai Meemie jumped and skipped behind. Although she looked like a little girl, she was very agile and climbing up and down was no problem for her.

Following the old woman's instructions, they came to the only library in Graymist Town.

This library is quite old and bears the marks of time. The white marble exterior is mottled and the east wall still has black marks from the explosion.

Gu Huaiwei stepped onto the stairs and pushed open the heavy wooden door. A stale and decayed smell accompanied by dust hit her face.

"Ahem..." She frowned, waved her hands to dispel the unpleasant turbid air, then took out a black mask from her jade bracelet and hung it on her ears to block her nose.

“Do you want a mask?”

"Yes~"

Bai Meemie actually doesn't need a mask. She doesn't feel uncomfortable at all in this environment.

But Gu Huaiwei cared about her, so she agreed sweetly.

Gu Huaiwei threw a mask of the same style to Bai Meimei.

Although the library has been in disrepair for many years, it does not look dilapidated.

A huge crystal chandelier hangs in the center of the hall, emitting a dim light, illuminating the reading area on the first floor of the library.

Gu Huaiwei held her breath and listened carefully.

There were hurried and small footsteps coming from upstairs.

"The person should be upstairs, let's go up."

There is a direct elevator going up to the first floor. In order to find someone, Gu Huaiwei did not choose to take the elevator, but chose to walk up the wide stairs in the lobby.

The stairs were covered with dust, and Gu Huaiwei saw several messy footprints.

Gu Huaiwei soon discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, she could not leave any footprints when she stepped on the dust.

Not just her.

There were no traces of Bai Meemie's footprints either.

They were looking for someone by following the footprints on the ground.

The reading room on the second floor is like two completely different worlds compared to the one on the first floor.

The first floor is clean and tidy with bright lighting.

The second floor was covered with discarded newspapers, and most of the lights were poorly connected, resulting in dim light.

Gu Huaiwei turned on the flashlight on her mobile phone and saw that the footprints extended all the way to the newspaper reading area on the right.

Bai Meemie held Gu Huaiwei's clothes and they followed the footprints to the right.

The floor at the entrance of the newspaper reading area was covered with dark water stains, like undried blood. A small red light flickered, and the door at the entrance was half-open, with no light coming through the gap.

I always feel like there's something dirty going on in places like this.

Gu Huaiwei asked Bai Meimei to follow closely, then she gripped the dagger tightly, pushed open the door of the newspaper reading area, and walked in.

In the newspaper reading area, four people were sitting on the benches in the reading room with their backs to the door, each of them holding a newspaper in their hands.

Directly opposite them sat four non-humans wearing library uniforms.

When Gu Huaiwei came in, the sound was very obvious.

But none of the four men looked back.

Gu Huaiwei saw that the boy sitting on the far right was shaking wildly with his hands holding the newspaper, and a stream of water was flowing down his trouser legs onto the ground.

He should have wanted to look back, but he didn't dare.

The remaining three people were also very nervous.

Gu Huaiwei turned around and whispered to Bai Meimei, "At our Oasis Sanatorium, there's no rule that customers must be human, right?"
