On the afternoon of the fourth day at Dawn Boarding School, after biology class.

At this moment, a group of ten people were walking together on their way to the library on campus.

I plan to finish the extracurricular research paper about the Shatak bird that Elaine assigned in our biology class just now in the library.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe recalled his actions throughout the day.

Aside from the period when he disappeared midway through.

Unexpectedly, the state of collective action that he had previously thought would be difficult to maintain was actually achieved for most of the day.

But ever since he walked up the stairs, he disappeared alone into the crowd.

He felt that his speculation would be quite effective in a horror movie.

However, when faced with this somewhat bizarre and unconventional campus, such a solution would likely only be a temporary fix.

As mentioned earlier, Shuguang Boarding School roughly divides the campus into two parts with the playground as the central area.

That is, on one hand, when they first entered the campus.

Following the long corridor past the pond and the small auditorium, you will reach the teaching area, which mainly consists of teaching buildings.

On the other side is the living area, which includes buildings such as a canteen, student dormitories, detention rooms, and a library.

Right now, they have left the teaching area where the teaching building is located and crossed the playground to reach the library on the other side.

This was not the first time Gu Xinghe had come to the library.

At first, it was the afternoon of the second day after he entered the school.

After finishing two literature classes that day.

He once came here with Tao Changyi and others to complete the literature course paper assigned by Elaine.

Since they hadn't encountered any danger in the library on their previous visits, the players weren't particularly nervous.

Now, Carol and Rekaya have also joined their group in the library.

In fact, this was before their relationship had improved.

Carol and Rekaya had never come to the library before.

And sure enough, even though the two of them have come here together, their main focus seems to be just to stay by Gu Xinghe's side.

After entering the library and sitting down at a desk.

The other players who came along were just as quiet as before, doing their best to complete the assigned tasks.

He made sure that Elaine wouldn't send him to solitary confinement for not completing his homework.

But on the other side, Carol, Rekaya, and Gu Xinghe sat together again—

Carol maintained a balance between writing for five minutes and then chatting with Gu Xinghe for two hours.

Fortunately, there was no librarian here to reprimand Carol for disturbing the quiet atmosphere of the library.

Meanwhile, Lekaya leaned against Gu Xinghe out of boredom and picked up a charcoal pencil to draw and pass the time.

It seems she intends to submit her current sketch of the shatak bird as homework for her biology class.

Looking at the pen refill in her hand, which was gradually getting shorter.

Gu Xinghe simply picked up the knife next to him and helped her sharpen the charcoal pencil.

His fingers were long and slender, and the sharp knife twirled between them, revealing a smooth, jade-like quality that possessed a unique beauty.

Rekaya gave Gu Xinghe a sweet smile as she accepted the sharpened charcoal pencil he offered.

Then she rested her head on his shoulder again and continued adding details to her painting.

Even so, this state between the two did not seem to last long.

A moment later, Gu Xinghe looked at Carol and Rekaya, who had fallen asleep on the library table with their eyes closed and hugging their dolls.

Soft breathing came from their noses, and one side of their face was slightly flushed from being nestled between their arms.

Seeing this, Gu Xinghe carefully moved the chair away as quietly as possible, and then went to the bookshelf to look up the information he wanted.

This is a library that occupies a considerable area.

Although it only has three floors, each floor is five meters high.

Inside the circular building structure, books are stacked on bookshelves.

On the lowest level of the library are rows of six desks for students to use while studying.

Each bookshelf also has a corresponding seat where students can sit on the floor at any time.

The vast library, filled with books containing diverse knowledge, adds a sense of timelessness to the place.

But perhaps it is precisely because of its glorious past that this place now seems all the more desolate.

The library now appears somewhat old and dilapidated, clearly having been abandoned for a long time.

Most of the books here have taken on a grayish-yellowish, worn-out appearance.

That is not due to being read and reread by readers multiple times, thus becoming "old".

Instead, it has been sitting on the bookshelf for a long time, but no one has paid attention to it, and it has become "old" over time.

Flipping through the books on these shelves, you'll find that most of the pages have already turned yellow.

Some of the books were so old that the pages even fell off when Gu Xinghe turned the pages, making them look extremely fragile.

At the same time, even in the three-story library, it is clearly visible that there are many empty spaces on the bookshelves.

It seems that due to the lack of dedicated management personnel, many books have been lost.

Nevertheless, the number of books in the library is still quite considerable.

Meanwhile, Gu Xinghe had already walked to the bookshelves on the first floor and started looking for the books he wanted.

He stopped in front of one of the bookshelves and saw that Zhong Zhenkai and Tao Changyi were also sitting next to it, reading.

Although collective action does not seem to completely avert the inherent dangers.

However, people can still feel a sense of psychological security when they gather together.

At this moment, the three nodded to each other.

Gu Xinghe also took a book called "Illustrated Guide to Bird Biology" from the bookshelf and stood there slowly flipping through it.

The chest cavity of the Shatak bird is mostly filled with a power organ.

This organ provides power to the shatak bird's wings during flight...

Based on the content described in this book, "Illustrated Biology of Birds".

Gu Xinghe found a lot of information in it that could be used as supplementary information, and that Elaine had not mentioned.

Seeing this, Gu Xinghe also became interested in the sequel to the book.

Then, he picked up a page of the book with his index and middle fingers and turned to the next page.

It's like ink spreading on paper.

Gu Xinghe saw the words on the book suddenly become distorted.

The originally neatly arranged regular characters were now undergoing strange deformations.
