63: Chapter 63 Vampire Castle 19

After managing to stop the Short-sleeved Youth who wanted to kneel and thank them, the few players who had recovered by now also remembered the Tall fat man who was still looking for medicine on the Second Floor.

They looked at each other, and the expression of the Buzz-cut Man was particularly ugly, because the Tall fat man had gone down to the Second Floor to help him find medicine.

But at this point, wanting to return to the Third Floor was simply a pipe dream; that enraged Three-headed dog would definitely tear anyone who appeared before its eyes into shreds.

It could be said that the Tall fat man was a goner.

Based on the abilities the Tall fat man had displayed earlier, he didn't seem like the type of person who could survive in a desperate situation.

The group didn't say anything more; comfort or the like simply didn't exist in this kind of game.

People died in every round, and countless others survived by relying on the pity mechanism; even the Stuttering Uncle and the Gloomy Youth, who had just entered the game, had come to realize this.

After all, in the previous floors, if not for Luo Yuejian, they wouldn't have been able to reach the 4th Floor so smoothly.

They might not have even found the initial key, and even if they had, they would very likely have had to face those vicious and terrifying Vampires because they were too slow.

Just now, in the Three-headed dog's lair, if not for Luo Yuejian guiding the Short-sleeved Youth to get the key and using her own key to save the Short-sleeved Youth's life, they would probably already be competing for the pity spots by now.

For a moment, the gazes of the Buzz-cut Man, the Gloomy Youth, the White-collar Woman, and the Stuttering Uncle all fell onto Luo Yuejian with complicated emotions, their hearts deeply shocked.

This person was truly too terrifying; she could lead the entire team to clear the level without injury single-handedly. If not for this accident, the Tall fat man probably wouldn't have died this time.

At this very moment, a thought solidified in everyone's minds: they must cling tightly to the White-haired Girl's thighs.

In that gloomy spiral staircase, permeated with a mysterious aura, they climbed all the way to the 4th Floor. The stairwell was dim and lightless, and every step they took caused the wooden stairs to emit a "creak, creak" sound.

Their footsteps echoed in the empty stairwell, as if countless pairs of eyes were spying on their every move from the darkness.

Arriving at the 4th Floor, an extremely vast Library suddenly appeared before them, occupying the space of an entire floor.

Rows of bookshelves were arranged closely together, densely packed with all kinds of books. Under the faint light, the covers of those old books exuded an ancient and oppressive atmosphere.

Luo Yuejian couldn't help but click her tongue, complaining inwardly that these were some rather cultured Vampires.

Walking deep into the 4th Floor, one could see the entire Library was divided into six major areas: A, B, C, D, E, and F. These six areas were completely indistinguishable from the outside, all consisting of five to six-meter-tall deep red solid wood bookshelves; one could imagine how many books were hidden within.

If the key was hidden among these books, the quantity was definitely not something they could finish flipping through in a short while.

After realizing this, the few players subconsciously looked at Luo Yuejian. In their subconscious, they had already confirmed that the White-haired Girl must have a way, so they now subconsciously hoped she could provide a solution.

Receiving everyone's gaze once again, Luo Yuejian: ?

Hello? Could someone speak up for her? It was already miserable enough that she couldn't die, and now the teammates actually seemed to treat her like a savior...?

How was this not a form of humiliation...

Luo Yuejian choked back tears internally. Faced with the teammates' gazes, she couldn't help but speak, so she bit the bullet and asked, "Something up?"

The White-haired Girl looked at them coldly, as if she had seen through their inner thoughts, and asked in a cold voice, "Something up?"

This sentence was like a basin of ice water, instantly drenching them and chilling them to the bone; the few players all shivered.

The White-haired Girl's attitude made them suddenly realize that they seemed to have become a bit too dependent on the girl in front of them.

This kind of dependency was definitely not a good thing. After all, they couldn't always encounter a god-tier teammate like the White-haired Girl; in games, pig-teammates were the norm.

If they habitually relied on others and were unable to think for themselves, then the ending of the game ahead was already doomed.

As Luo Yuejian's voice fell, she saw the few players opposite her look as if they had been slapped, stunned in place, and then an expression of embarrassment appeared on all their faces.

Especially the Short-sleeved Youth, whose face turned red visibly.

He had previously been smug that the White-haired Girl had chosen him, but now, realizing that he was just like the other teammates, having developed a psychological dependency and even showing a trend of losing the ability to think independently, he was suddenly ashamed.

He blushed and said solemnly to Luo Yuejian, "Don't worry, we will definitely find the key on our own this round!"

The remaining few players also nodded seriously; in this round, they must not rely on the White-haired Girl anymore.

Luo Yuejian: ?

No, what just happened? Why did these few players suddenly become so fired up?

Luo Yuejian completely couldn't understand the thought process of the few players and felt they might not be in the same world. Fortunately, after the Short-sleeved Youth finished this sentence, he took the opportunity to put forward his own view.

The Short-sleeved Youth said, "There should be a book register in the Library; if we find that, we might be able to find some clues."

The White-collar Woman's eyes lit up, and she echoed, "That makes sense. The register will record information about the books. If nothing else, at least we should be able to know what type of books are placed in each of these areas."

The Stuttering Uncle also stuttered and said, "Th-then let's q-quickly find the register."

The book register was not hard to find, because things like this are often placed at the front desk or in the central area. Not long after, everyone heard the White-collar Woman shout excitedly, "I found it!"

Everyone hurriedly gathered around, only to see the White-collar Woman standing in front of a circular wooden platform, holding a thick, dust-covered notebook in her hand.

The White-collar Woman said, "I just took a look; Area C and D should be ruled out, right?"

She handed the book register to the other few players and explained, "Area C and D seem to be books related to Vampires. Area C contains the family genealogy, cultural research, and other books of the Vampire family in the castle, and Area D records some dark spells or sacrifices or something."

The book register passed through the hands of the few players and finally landed in Luo Yuejian's hands. Luo Yuejian casually flipped through it twice and then withdrew her gaze. She wasn't planning on clearing the game anyway, so what was the use of looking at this thing?

The Buzz-cut Man nodded, "You're right. Let's avoid these areas and split up to look. Four people correspond exactly to four areas; if we are a bit faster, we should be able to make it in time..."

While speaking, he naturally glanced at the clock hanging above the wall. It was a very classical type of clock; the carved casing showed obvious traces of time. The inner dial only had an hour hand, no minute or second hands, and the time markers were all in Roman numerals.

After checking the time, he felt relieved, "It's about two in the afternoon; for the five of us to search four areas is more than enough."
