The ghost students didn't expect that 606 had the two major observation and killing weapons: the Yin-Yang eyes and mental power. After their true purpose was exposed, they stopped pretending, smiled coldly, and quickly dispersed and pounced, trying to force 606 to the Ministry of Education!

"Don't accuse us of not being grateful. Just walking into the Ministry of Education can put an end to your painful exam career. Isn't that a good thing?"

The students spoke in high-sounding words, but their actions were full of malice.

For some reason, after regaining their "vital value", their appearance and body shape actually increased a lot from that of fifteen or sixteen years old, and turned into normal college students in their twenties.

Tang Xin Jue pulled out a toilet plunger and said calmly, "Remembering to eat but not to be beaten, is that a common trait among you?"

——That is, even though you know you can’t win, you still persevere and rush forward to die.

The Ministry of Education was in front of them. 606 didn't want to get close, so he didn't even try to maneuver and directly unleashed firepower to crush them: the shadow of the steel fist and the sword rain of the skill card fell at the same time. Guo Guo used purification as a protective shield. The ghosts wanted to avoid the skills, but suddenly their bodies froze and they stopped uncontrollably.

This, this is...

In front of them, Tang Xinjue gently opened his fingers and pointed in the air. An invisible force seemed to cover the air and forcibly changed the movements of the ghosts.

Mental control!

This was the first time Tang Xin Jue had used his mind control skills on a ghostly party on such a large scale. Ghostly brains were different from humans'—or rather, they didn't have brains at all. Under the power of the university city, they had become almost entirely another life form, beyond human conscious thought.

If in the mental vision, the human brain is a cluster of small flames of different colors, then the brain of the ghost NPC is just a mass of black gas that does not disperse.

The eyeballs in the university town are even more special. When viewed with the same field of vision, there is only blank space where they are, as if there is no matter or energy at all.

Therefore, as Tang Xin Jue's spiritual power level increased and her understanding of them increased, she became more intentional about controlling the use of her abilities. This was because she knew that even the strongest abilities had their limits.

If you can't be cautious when facing something you don't understand, it's best to strike a fatal blow.

In the brief moment she controlled the ghost's movements, she had already put on a pair of white-framed glasses. The moment the frames touched her nose, they melted and disappeared before her eyes.

[Mind's Eye: Can materialize spiritual power within a certain range.]

[Spiritual Blade: Mental power itself is a sharp blade. When you are strong enough, don't forget to ensure that it is always aimed at the enemy.]

After using two skills in succession, dozens of palm-sized black daggers floated above the heads of the ghost students, and then fell down along with the attacks of the other three people!

Light exploded, sending ghosts flying everywhere. Only two of them still struggled. "One last push. If we succeed, we'll be incredibly profitable. Joining their ranks will allow us to leapfrog levels..."

"Join what? Who ordered you to do that?" Zhang You asked immediately.

They remembered that not long ago, the head of the group had said something similar in the inspection office. Clearly, they were not only aware of the different camps of good and bad students, but also accepted the solicitation of the bad students behind Yueqiong.

And at the moment when 606 asked the question, the last two ghost students suddenly bit off their tongues and suddenly exploded towards the Ministry of Education.

The next second, a sense of danger as deep as the sea suddenly appeared from the front and pressed towards the four people in 606!

The ghost failed, but not completely.

Following their self-explosion, the movement here seemed to have finally attracted the attention of "over there". Although no specific figures appeared, the strong and oppressive feeling of "being watched" reminded them firmly.

run!

The four of them fled without hesitation. Knowing that no matter which way they ran, they would most likely end up back in front of the Ministry of Education, they headed straight for the teaching building, trying to evade its attention.

The only good news is that they succeeded.

As they entered the teaching building, the terrifying "sight" gradually faded. But at the same time, another problem arose before them:

"When we came in just now, was the building's color different?"

Guo Guo scratched his head. "If I remember correctly, this building seemed to be silver-black originally?"

But just before they stepped into the door, she caught a glimpse of the outer wall, and it suddenly turned into a golden red with a black tint?

Tang Xinjue was not surprised: "Don't forget, there are three tall buildings in the university town."

If these three are teaching buildings, then they most likely correspond to the third, second and first tier universities.

Judging from the strength of the ghosts they observed the last time they entered here, the silver-black building should belong to a third-tier university. So, the building they are in now...

Zheng Wanqing's brows were furrowed, and she had already entered the tense state before the battle: "Be careful, there are many dangerous auras in there, some are on par with me, and some are stronger than me."

The bracelet that foreshadows danger also lights up with a red color like a drop of blood.

There is no doubt that this is a university.

Opening the university town map they'd received earlier, Zhang You marked several indistinct, chaotic lines along their previous route. "The dormitory area should be here, the teaching area is here, and part of the teaching building is in the center, which should be where we first entered. But after we left just now, the road ahead no longer leads to the dormitory area. If we don't consider the Ministry of Education's ability to move on its own, then it's likely been moved to the teaching building locations in the four corners of the map... Wait, Xin Jue, look, are these four points us?"

If you don't look closely, it's easy to overlook the four tiny black dots on the paper, not to mention that they are connected together.

According to the location of the black dot, they are now in the upper left corner of the map. Even if they leave now, they cannot reach the dormitory area directly.

"Wait before leaving."

Tang Xinjue raised his head and made a rough assessment of the degree of danger in the building.

Changing location may or may not require triggering certain opportunities, but in any case, it is necessary to look for more clues.

Although the atmosphere in the building was unfriendly, the four of them moved carefully and did not rashly trigger any fights.

The building's layout remained the same as before, with each floor's corridors densely packed with classrooms. Besides the chance of a special door spawning at the end of the corridor, there were also one or two small blue doors scattered nearby. Based on Guo Guo's previous experience, it was clear that the small blue doors were most likely the "workplace" of the University Town customer service staff. As he passed by, he could faintly hear the rapid tapping of keyboards.

"Customer service is so busy." Guo Guo sighed.

"It's okay. Every job is very busy. I'm busy in every field."

A voice fell into his ears, and Guo Guo suddenly took a step back: "Who is talking?"

"It's me."

At the end of the corridor not far away, an ancient brown door quietly opened a crack, and a strange and calm female voice came out from inside.

"Remember to put on your shoe covers and gloves at the door before entering."

606 looked at each other: "Who are you? What is this place?"

"I'm the receptionist here, doing part-time registration and management." The voice replied calmly, "This is the University Town Library."

After confirming that there was no malicious aura of ghosts inside, 606 walked in with caution and suspicion.

The moment they saw the room, the only word they could describe was "strange."

It was extremely long from side to side, but extremely narrow in width. If you took two steps forward, you'd easily bump into the gray walls. Within this gray, rectangular room, resembling a corridor, countless long chandeliers hung, making it look like a small prison.

Before entering, the four people thought that the owner of the female voice opened the door, but after entering, they looked around and saw a small wooden table about ten meters away on the left side, and a young woman sitting behind the table.

They looked several times before they were sure that the person sitting there was indeed a person, a normal living person, not some disguised eyeball or ghost.

Woman: "I didn't open the door. It opened because you were coming in. If you hadn't come in, it wouldn't have opened."

After saying this, she pushed the paper and pen on the table forward:

"Register before entering the museum."

"Is there a charge here?" Out of caution, Zhang You asked about the precautions in advance.

The woman blinked calmly. "1. The library is open to all students free of charge. 2. All books and materials in the library must not be damaged, left lying around, or taken away. 3. Visiting hours are determined by the library."

"The library decides?"

Tang Xin Jue repeated this rule.

In other words, the time they can stay in the library is completely uncertain and they may be asked to leave at any time.

But at least, it seems to be a more "peaceful" place inside.

Zheng Wanqing had already taken a step inside and asked, "Why don't I see any bookshelves?"

For a library, it would be fine if it didn't have several floors and a vast space, but now there aren't even any bookshelves as far as the eye can see. So where are all the "books" placed?

The registrar raised his hand and pointed at the wall in front of them: "Keep going."

Go up the wall?

Zheng Wanqing tried to take a step forward, but just as she took a step forward, she disappeared from the spot in full view of everyone.

Guo Guo: "??? Where are you, Miss?"

At this moment, Zheng Wanqing's voice came from the spiritual link that had been kept open: "I'm still here."

Out of sight of the other three, Zheng Wanqing looked at the bookshelves before her. She turned back the way she had come, but there were still rows of bookshelves behind her, with no sign of the entrance or anyone else in Room 606.

"I'm stuck here."

Zheng Wanqing accurately described what she saw: "Right now I am in a room with about dozens of bookshelves. There is no exit, and I can't see you."

"The library won't hold anyone captive," the registrar interrupted to clarify. "When it's time for you to leave, the exit door will appear."

Tang Xin Jue had a guess: "After we all pass through this wall, we will enter different areas of the library, right?"

This time the registrar did not object.

After a quick discussion, the three of them decided to go in together. But before leaving, they were suddenly stopped by the registrar:

"Wait, you can't all go in, there's one person missing who hasn't registered yet!"

606: “?”

The four of them have just finished registering, so how come there is still someone missing?

The registrar was very confident: "There is still one missing, it's in your bag."

Following her direction, Zhang You took off his backpack and suddenly understood something: "You mean... it?"

The backpack opened, and a snoring white ball came into view.

The registrar nodded and said, "Yes, come and register."

After being woken up, Baituanzi chirped twice sleepily, looked left and right, and then jumped onto the registrar's desk with curiosity.

"Pah", the pen and paper were pushed off by its butt.

Registrar: “…that’s why I hate working.”

She silently picked up the registration paper, pressed the elf upside down on the paper, and a bunch of unfamiliar characters automatically filled in the blank column.

"You can go in now."

After saying that, the registrar forcibly drove away the elf that was trying to get on her head.

Zhang You had just received the white ball when she turned around, only to find that the other two members of 606 had disappeared. When she turned around again, the scenery around her had also changed.

The long, narrow entrance space opens into a spacious, towering library, its number of floors unknown. Gazing from the central, spiraling staircase, one can see countless layers of glass, each filled with a dazzling array of bookshelves, seemingly connected by a swirling cloud of mist, with no end in sight.

There is no doubt that if they were trapped in one of the floors or even a library room, Zhang You believed that even if 10,000 people were scattered in, they would probably not be able to find each other.

But she is special because she is not on any of the levels.

…She was stuck on the stairs.

This spiral staircase is suspended in the middle of the library, with no village in front and no shop behind. It is so transparent that you can see that there is no one up and down the 200 meters!

Fortunately, the mental link still existed. After seeing Zhang You's current situation from 606's internal chat room, Guo Guo couldn't help but be silent for a moment: "...Thank you, Sister You. Now I feel that the place I came in is not too strange."

When other people looked over, they saw either the vast and open Sky Library or a large reading room with numerous bookshelves - only she had a study room that was as small as it could be.

In the middle of the study sat a wooden table. On top of it lay a well-worn computer, keyboard, and mouse, seemingly unremarkable. Behind the desk, a row of scattered small bookshelves seemed even more shabby in contrast to the other three people.

Tang Xin Jue said in his sea of ​​consciousness, "Let's observe the surrounding environment first to see if we can find some useful information. Our position on the map is slowly shifting. I'll look for a pattern first. You should also pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry." Guo Guo patted the pendant to assure himself that there was absolutely no problem.

Although the university town was rife with danger, the library had a distinctly different atmosphere. Especially in this small room, Guo Guo had an inexplicable feeling: even if the sky fell outside, she might be fine staying here.

This can't be an illusion, right?

She touched her nose and cautiously walked to the bookshelf. To Guo Guo's surprise, there were no strange books like "The University Town is So Beautiful" or "One Hundred Ways to Eat for Candidates" on the bookshelf, but rather very normal books - at least with very normal titles.

The Four Great Classical Novels, Tang and Song poetry, the Xinhua Dictionary... He glanced at them one by one, and finally a book with a more unusual title caught Guo Guo's attention:

"I found a book here that I think might be useful. It's called 'One Hundred Ways to Get Rich Quickly'!"

Zheng Wanqing: "...Are you sure it will work?"

"If you want to practice divine skills, you must first castrate yourself. The method of getting rich quickly focuses on criminal law... Hmm, it seems that the practicality is a little bit poor."

Guo Guo sighed and stuffed the book back with regret.

Behind this book, there were a few unremarkable storybooks that didn't quite make anyone want to read them. Guo Guo glanced at the titles: "The Great Escape from the Women's Dormitory," with four stick figures on the cover; "The Great Escape from Overtime," with a cover depicting a tormented office worker; and "30 Days to Prepare for the College Entrance Exam," with a cover depicting a group of distressed students. At the very end of the shelf was a reference book called "A Guide to Visiting Happy Island," but the pages were a bit worn, suggesting it had seen better days.

Finding nothing new, Guo Guo informed the other three of the situation. However, even after Zhang You and Wan Qing responded, Tang Xin Jue remained silent.

"Heart Jue?"

Guo Guo asked sharply.

A few seconds passed, and there was still no response.

"Something happened with the Heart Technique?"

Zheng Wanqing immediately put down the book in her hand and held the positioning dragonfly in her hand.

Zhang You stopped him: "It should be fine. The information bar and health value of the Heart Sutra are normal, and the spiritual connection is still open."

If Tang Xin Jue really encountered an accident, the mental connection would definitely be the first to break. On the other hand, as long as there was no reaction from the mental power, it meant that there was most likely no problem.

So the current situation is more like...

Zhang You frowned, unable to find the right words. Guo Guo added, "Looks like the microphone is turned off?"

"Oh, sorry."

In a space unknown distance away from Guo Guo and the other two, Tang Xinjue was adjusting his mental power.

In front of her, a girl scratched her head and suddenly realized:

"Sorry, I just remembered that I'm a ghost from another place and I might have disturbed your magnetic field. How about this, I'll stay away for now and not disturb your chat."

After saying that, the girl straightened her bloodstained collar and hair, then in a strange manner, she leaped onto the ceiling and crawled several meters in the opposite direction from Tang Xin Jue. "Is this distance enough? Is the signal good?"

Tang Xinjue: "..."
