Chapter 275: Getting Some Powerful Items!！

Translator: Pluto Editor: Vermillion

The roads, the houses, the flyover… lay under the dusky skies. There was only a deafening silence of emptiness.

When Lin Sanjiu stopped and turned to look behind, Kisaragi Library, despite its large size, had already faded into the scenery like a murky watercolor painting. She could only see the vague outlines of the building.

"I just can't understand that man," she softly remarked, almost sounding like she was sighing. The siblings, standing by her side, exchanged glances as if they didn't know how to reply to her.

It had been three to four hours since they parted ways with Silvan. After he disappeared into the drearily gray city, Lin Sanjiu and the siblings also continued on their journey. Following her lead, they chose the direction opposite from where Silvan was heading and started walking slowly.

In the library, though half of his body got soaked in fresh blood, Silvan grinned at her as if he was completely unaffected. That image was still clear in Lin Sanjiu mind now because, at that time, she thought that the man was about to turn on her at any second.

Based on her current experience, she had not tried to fight such a strong foe before.

Just when Lin Sanjiu tensed her body, Silvan cocked his head, showing a very laid-back attitude. With a matter-of-factly tone, he asked her, "What are you waiting for? Go and verify those books."

"You…" Lin Sanjiu muttered. She narrowed her eyes as she examined the blood-soaked half of his body. She quickly looked away from him. As the light was much dimmer behind him, she wasn't sure whether that odd-shaped thing on the floor was a leg lying in the shadows behind the man.

"Oh, are you concerned about that?" Silvan lowered his head and looked at his blood-soaked uniform. He looked up again and smiled. In a natural and friendly manner, he comforted, "Don't worry, this isn't my blood."

"Whose is it?" Lin Sanjiu swallowed before she asked. She certainly wasn't worried for him.

"Those people from the west wing," Silvan replied as he pointed behind him nonchalantly without looking back. "I made a request, but they refused, so I had to use violence to solve the problem."

"What request?"

"You've forgotten?" Silvan grinned boyishly, showing his white teeth again. His smile was more eye-catching than usual, especially in contrast to the dark-red bloodstains on his shirt. "You even figured that out yourself. I came to this world to catch duoluozhongs."

When he said this, Lin Sanjiu immediately knew that Silvan had already figured out that she was that weird skull-like thing. If someone thought through all the clues, it wasn't difficult to come to that conclusion, however, she was still a little startled. "So, the duoluozhongs from the south wing have been…"

"Just like that building spirit you lured me into, they are all in my cage." When he brought up the topic about duoluozhongs, he talked about them like lab rats, "By the way, that building spirit is quite a good fellow. I have to thank you for that."

The members from the west wing, who were keen to get the lives from the duoluozhongs, definitely wouldn't allow Silvan to catch those duoluozhongs. Lin Sanjiu looked once more at that odd-shaped thing on the floor and, this time, she could see clearly that a single human leg was attached to that thing.

"Is it worth killing people just…" Even though Lin Sanjiu had just killed someone herself, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable. After all, the West Wing team were standing on their side, "...for that?"

However, her question was pretty much useless because she could already see Silvan's answer from his green, emerald eyes. He was visibly angry when Peach died but he slaughtered four people with indifference even though they were fighting on their side.

From that moment, Lin Sanjiu decided that she would definitely part ways with that man. She took out the five books and looked at Silvan, "You really don't need the lives?"

Silvan chuckled as if Lin Sanjiu had asked him some sort of naive question. Then, he immediately showed her his back and took off his dark blue uniform combat shirt.

A drop of blood rolled down his muscular, well-defined back, along his back dimple and passed a small black "261".

"How many people has he killed?"

While the siblings simultaneously gasped, Lin Sanjiu did not say another word. She went to the desk and slammed the books in front of Siri. As the book searching event had lasted for six days, they only won 19 lives from the event. However, adding the lives they earned from the battles, when they left the library, Lin Sanjiu's number had increased to 77. As Rena released a powerful effect from one of the book pages, her number had also reached 54. Reno earned less lives, but he at least had 42. At least, they weren't in any danger of using up their lives within this period of time.

According to the rules, after Siri had verified all five books, she would hand over the books to Lin Sanjiu and her team. When Lin Sanjiu got back the books, they had already been converted to five permanent Special Items which could be used anytime.

[The Heart-Stealing Consort Escapes With a Baby]: Regardless of the situation, the user can escape once from the target. However, the probability of being found by the target would increase in a short period after using this item.

[A Girl's Sorrow]: This item has two effects. The first effect makes the target feel sorrow. The other effect would turn the target into a young girl. Activating the effects would cause a series of negative consequences depending on the situation.

[A Detailed Guide to Forensic Reconstruction of Dinosaur Fossils]: Surprisingly, the effect of this book does not have any connection to dinosaurs at all. However, it can create a drawing of a person from the traces they leave behind. It is fairly accurate.

[How to Render]: People can see because of light. This effect of this book creates a powerful distortion of shadow and light. Please slowly explore its uses.

[A World History of Art]: This book allows the recreation of the scenery as well as the background origin of random famous art pieces. It would enforce the situation on the target and could work like a mini pocket dimension.

With a mentality that having an additional ally would be more beneficial than another foe, Lin Sanjiu showed her courteous side and offered Silvan the opportunity to choose a book of his liking. She was slightly astonished when the latter smiled and chose [A Detailed Guide to Forensic Reconstruction of Dinosaur Fossils]. He left the more powerful books for them.

With the remaining books, each of them could get one book. As suggested by the siblings, Lin Sanjiu decided to sell off the last book at Red Nautilus to earn her "living expenses" there. Lin Sanjiu was quite shocked when she heard this because she couldn't imagine that she would actually need money in an apocalyptic world.

"Actually… Even though older brother Silvan killed all those people," Rena said suddenly as they were walking, "He doesn't seem like a bad person… Didn't he bury that person called Peach?"

Lin Sanjiu did not know why the two children had such an exceptional impression of Silvan. She did not reply. Instead, she listened silently to the siblings' discussion as they continued walking. After some time, the three of them stopped all at once, spontaneously.

This was because they had spotted a very familiar face peering from the window of a two-story building. He had a very shocked expression.
