Chapter 1387 Are you looking for this?
——
Almost silently, the door opened.
He was stunned, his whole body tense, sweat on his forehead, and he slowly pushed open the door and walked in.
This study is not very big, but it is filled with books on an entire wall.
Shark closed the door and stood in the middle of the room. He frowned and scanned the entire bookcase. Then he exhaled, rolled up his sleeves and began to search quickly.
This was undoubtedly a big project, and Shark was fully prepared to have to leave before finding it, but he also tried to speed up.
Time passed by as I kept searching.
The room was silent, with only the sound of pages being turned disturbing the goosebump-inducing silence.
The shark's breathing was rapid, but his actions were so focused that he almost forgot himself, and his eyes almost turned into a machine for entering code.
So when a slight clicking sound was heard, he was instantly awakened and his whole body was stretched as if a string was about to break.
His first reaction was to go to the door, but a second later he suddenly realized that the sound was not coming from outside the door, but from behind the bookcase.
Still holding a book in his hand, Shark watched helplessly as the huge bookcase in front of him slowly split open in the middle, and then the crack became wider and wider until it opened up a passage large enough for people to pass through.
And behind this passage is a sturdy black code door.
It was like opening a box game with no end. After the passage appeared, the door also beeped slightly. No one could crack the code. The door opened slightly, leaving a small gap.
With a gulp, the shark stared and swallowed a mouthful of saliva almost tremblingly.
What comes after this?
The password cannot be opened automatically.
Either someone outside is manipulating this, or someone inside is waiting for me to fall into the trap.
In short, no matter which one it is, you will definitely die today.
Shark's face was calm—if you didn't look at the cold sweat that almost soaked his hands, and didn't listen to the thunderous heartbeat that was about to jump out of his chest.
It's a death either way.
So, now that I'm at this door, should I waste my last chance?
"I found a secret room behind the bookcase in this study."
Shark tried to remain calm and said into the headset,
"But I may not be able to find that thing."
Ignoring his companions' anxious calls, Shark took a step forward and reached out to push open the metal door.
With a creaking sound, the smell of long-dusty paper and ink in the stuffy air wafted into my nose, and what followed was the old-fashioned iron bookshelves that filled the entire room.
The whole room seemed to come from the depths of time that was never exposed to the light of day.
The dim old-fashioned light bulbs illuminated the densely packed old files and bookshelves, casting black shadows on the ground, as if they were filled with silent and hideous monsters.
And before all these scenes, a young man in a white shirt was sitting leisurely in front of the large old desk.
His hair looked fluffy and soft under the light, and his eyes were clear amber, but when he looked up, his innate nobleness was very compelling, even though his smile was actually very beautiful.
A yellowed booklet rustled under his hands, and he finally closed it and turned it lightly on his index finger.
The young man looked at the man in uniform standing stiffly at the door and smiled slightly. His voice was like a green vine basking in the summer sun, clear and slightly cool.
"Is this what you're looking for?"
Under the man's gaze, he gently weighed the book in his hand.
The yellowed pages fluttered, and many ink-colored fonts flashed quickly under the dim light.
Finally, the dust settled and the ink on the cover was clearly visible.
