1/2 Nightmare [Unlimited]

"No!" The old woman replied, "My family name is Liu, and my son's name is Liu Zheng."

Qi Lu and 076 looked at each other, seeing thoughts in each other's eyes——

It means it's not that Senior Yang.

Then there is only one guess left.

The old woman asked anxiously: "Young man, are you also a student here? Can you help me find our son?"

Qi Lu and 076 are both extremely calm people.Without so much empathy, you won't promise anything just because the faces of two old people are filled with gully.

But the old couple seemed to be really anxious, they grabbed Qi Lu's arm tightly with their withered and dry hands, and they didn't dare to provoke 076, who didn't seem easy to get along with, and only grabbed Qi Lu to plead for mercy.

"Young man, just help us, okay? Okay..."

Qi Lu was originally thinking of something to refuse, but soon, he realized that something was wrong——

The old couple held his arm more and more tightly, as if the iron clamps were contracting forcefully, engulfing his arm.

Qi Lu suddenly lowered his head, he saw that the face of the old man whose skin was originally like a ravine was flat, turned blue and white, and the hair withered like straw became dark and dull, like thick ink, moist and oily, the two old men The body is also getting taller.

"Help us, will you?"

The voice of the old man, withered like autumn leaves, came again, and the pupils that devoured everything were like black holes, seeming to be able to absorb everything around them.

What are they making such a strong request for?Should I agree?

"076..." Qi Lu habitually consulted with 076, and just as he turned his head, suddenly, as if his neck had been cut off, he couldn't speak a word.

Where 076 was standing just now, there was no one at all!

Qi Lu panicked, and quickly looked around the surrounding area with somewhat bewildered eyes. There was no one there! 076 is completely absent!

The surrounding buildings have not changed, it is still the entrance of the library.

etc? !wrong!

While Qi Lu was looking back, the surrounding scene suddenly changed. The tiles outside the library fell off in pieces, and the red and blue bricks also came down from the neat and tall walls, turning into individual bricks again...

It's like a movie played backwards, bit by bit, showing the process of how the library was built before our eyes.

What is the process of building the library upside down?Is this a message to the old man?

Qi Lu turned his head, the old couple who were facing him had become younger, they seemed to be in their prime, they were still pinching his arms, the hoarse old man just repeated the sentence: "Young man, help us OK?"

Now, Qi Lu also understood the meaning of turning the library upside down just now.

Mostly it was the trading conditions given by the old NPCs.

This pair of old people with dimpled faces and many vicissitudes are earnestly begging for help.

"How can I help?" Qi Lu responded indifferently, and then suddenly there was a buzzing sound in his ears, and his eyes also spun.

"Qi Lu!" It was 076's voice.

Qi Lu opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was 076 who was frowning.

076 was still in that position just now, obviously, he never left for a moment.

Feeling a touch on his arm, Qi Lu raised his head, only then did he notice that the old couple was still there.

That old couple is still that old couple, there is no youth in their prime, and their faces are still withered and old after the vicissitudes of life.

"How to help?" Qi Lu looked at the old couple and said it again.

The old man let go of his hand immediately.

076 lifted Qi Lu's arm and checked it carefully first.

"How can I help?" After confirming that Qi Lu is fine, 076 also repeated it, his tone cold and unwavering.

The old man's hands trembled immediately, and the large envelope he just took out of his arms almost fell to the ground.

"What is this?" Qi Lu asked.

The old man stretched out his fingers like dead branches, and slowly opened the envelope: "This is the letter my son wrote to us before, and there are some old photos. Take a look and see which ones can be used."

These can be regarded as important information.

Qi Lu looked at the contents of the envelope from the old man's hand. First of all, there were some old-looking papers, on which were some daily contents filled with daily accounts, probably the "son"'s home letter to his parents.

In addition, there is a photo of their whole family.

The old man said: "The young man up here is my son, young man, can you help me find him?"

Qi Lu took the photo.

Strong parents, young son.Although the photo is black and white and the pages are yellowed, it is obviously a photo of some years old.But it can still be seen that this family should still be very harmonious and happy.

The son in the photo doesn't look like any of the NPCs they've seen in the quest so far - although there aren't many NPCs either.

The old man's son had a completely unfamiliar face, and his appearance was very ordinary, but he was obviously different from that senior Yang.

The librarian didn't look like that either.

It seems to be a brand new character line, but the library just now, the library that keeps turning back and forth, seems to imply that the old man's son has an inexplicable relationship with the library.

And, there are the foundations of the library.

The line of the old man is related to the foundation of the library.

But they came out for a while, Qi Lu raised his head and looked up the steps: "We've been out for a while, and the eight kilogram books are not much more than the three kilogram books, will it delay the second round of borrowing tasks end time?"

After all, the main line is still crucial.

After saying this, there was a sudden "bang—" sound from behind, Qi Lu turned his head and looked up.

The second group, Cao Kun and Du Xinru, who were carrying out the borrowing task in the library, were standing by the window, throwing a thick stack of books down through the window.

This should be the "bug stuck" method after their painstaking discussions.

Throwing the books down also means that their borrowing records have been completed, and they have found eight kilograms of books related to metaphysics.

Qi Lu frowned, and glanced lightly at the pair of old men who have gone through vicissitudes, what should we do?

He had just promised the old couple.

076 reminded him: "There is a card in the portable shopping mall that can pause time, but it is only used by novices."

Qi Lu's eyes lit up, he clicked on it quickly, and input the four words "time pause" in the search bar, and soon, a card emitting black light appeared in front of him.

Qi Lu clicked on the attributes of this card, and the following introduction immediately popped up in front of him——

Name: backtracking stop

Attribute: Suspend the time of the main line, mostly used for the development of branch lines.This card is convenient for players to complete side tasks without delaying the progress of the main line

Method: use directly

Price: 1.5 credits (this price is the initial price when the player buys it. After the player buys it once, the attribute card will be restored to 15 credits immediately)

Effective time: 3 hours

Qi Lu clicked "Buy" without hesitation, and in the next second, the black card of "Stop Huihui" in the mall was immediately restored to 15 credits.

The black card fell into his hand. The surface of the card was pure black, like a black hole that could absorb all the light around it, which made people tremble.

There is a projection-like option above the card——【Click to use】

"Three hours should be enough." After Qi Lu finished speaking, he clicked to use without hesitation.

Another line of words appeared on the top of the card——

"[The cessation of backtracking] came into effect."

This line of words was displayed for nearly three seconds, and then the black card surface gradually disappeared. On Qi Lu's right hand position, there was a projected timer similar to a timer.

02: 59: 57

The number is still dwindling, as if to remind cardholders that they have little time left.

Qi Lu didn't dare to delay, and asked directly: "Where should we look for it first? Or, how should we look for it?"

"The old man's son is also a college student." 076 reminded: "You are also a college student. If others want to know your information, how can they find it?"

"Academic Affairs Office? File Room? Counselor?" Qi Lu's mind quickly flashed these three places, and he continued to analyze.

"The old man's son has been away for four or five years, and since we left the dormitory, we walked directly along the road to the library, which means that all the content of this dungeon revolves around the library."

"Will the Academic Affairs Office, archives and counselors be in the library?" 076 asked back.

"The counselor must rule it out first. There are only Senior Yang and the librarian NPC in this library. Most of the academic affairs offices are in the administrative building, not in a place with a lot of students like the library. As for the archives... our school's archives are in the The newly built library."

Qi Lu's thoughts gradually stabilized, and he no longer felt tense like mind numbing because of the ever-decreasing time.

He needs to be calm.

After calming down, Qi Lu continued to think. He carefully recalled his college life in the past.Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and he said, "Have you ever thought about another possibility, that librarian, will he also have other identities?"

Qi Lu looked at 076, and found that this time, 076 did not immediately realize what he was thinking as usual.

He immediately reacted: "Oh, I almost forgot, you haven't been to college for many years, you must not know."

"Ok?"

076 lowered his eyes, only showing his doubts, and didn't care about what Qi Lu said just now.

Qi Lu: "It's just a guess. In many universities, some teachers who are not too busy are willing to work in the library at the same time."

076 continued to ask: "Are you sure?"

"Not sure, but want to try."

Qi Lu nodded, looking at the long stairs ahead and the tall library building.

"Then try it."

"Well, that's what I think. Since the dungeon is only given to us in this library, the scope of search must be within the library." Qi Lu retracted his gaze, turned around, looked at the old man who was still waiting there, and asked, "You guys Should we go up together, or just wait at the bottom of the steps?"

A trace of fear flashed across the old man's turbid eyeballs, and they waved their hands again and again: "No, no, no, no, no, the building here is so good, the steps are so clean, and we are so dirty, how inappropriate? Let's wait below."

Qi Lu no longer forced himself, but continued to look at 076: "Are we together?"

"No." Rarely, 076 rejected Qi Lu for the first time.

076 looked at the two elderly people, and said in a meaningful tone, "I'm here to accompany them, you just go up and pay attention to the time."

The fear in the eyes of the two old men grew deeper and deeper.
