It was dusk, and the sun was setting in the west. The afterglow spilled in through the window, illuminating the house with a golden glow.

“Hah..” Yan Chong stretched his limbs. Although he had the physique of a professional, he still felt a wave of fatigue from the bottom of his heart. “Loli, I’ve finished my inspection. How about you?”

“I’m finished with my inspection here, too,” Loli said, approaching from the other side of the third floor of the library.

As the library was in a circular arc of about 120 degrees, and the main hall was at the center, all the books were placed on both sides of each floor. There were a total of six areas. Yan Chong and Loli were in charge of

three areas each.

“17,543 books. I’ve counted all of them. Unfortunately, this Magic Stone doesn’t have any reaction.” Seeing Loli walk over, Yan Chong held the Magic Stone and shrugged helplessly.

If he were to use [Reading], Yan Chong would definitely be able to tell if there was anything abnormal with a book. However, with his current mental energy, he was unable to use [Reading] indefinitely. Even if he were

to rest and recover in time, it would take at least a week for him to complete a thorough examination.

“Yes.” Loli nodded in disappointment. She had occasionally used her mental energy to pay attention to Yan Chong’s side during her inspection today, so she knew that he was very serious. “It seems that someone might

have taken it.”

“Didn’t you say something about a prophecy just now? Could it be that the prophecy was inaccurate?” Yan Chong asked doubtfully.

On Earth, prophecies were very subjective, just like weather forecasts. Not many people had expectations for them. However, it was different here. In the Endless Mainland, those who could make predictions were all

extremely powerful beings. This was a place that involved the Laws of the Karma category, and it was no joke.

“No, the outcome of the prophecy is only within a certain range. Teacher once said that it was a book in the library of Dawn Town. Relatively speaking, it is already very accurate.”

“Could the Orcs have taken it?” Yan Chong looked at the Ore Chieftain who was carried to the third floor and lying unconscious on the floor.

“Possibly. Let’s interrogate him first.” Loli nodded.

Although Orcs were crude and had low cultural standards, once they reached the Silver rank, their mental and intellectual attributes would reach the threshold of Black Iron rank professionals. Therefore, their learning

ability would be greatly enhanced.

This was also the so-called “Rules of 2 Tiers”. Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Constitution, and Mind were the five major attributes. The difference between the strongest and the weakest attribute cannot exceed that of

2 tiers. Otherwise, the body or soul would easily collapse.

It was normal for them to be interested in human culture. Otherwise, the Orc Alliance and the Human Empires would not have been able to coexist in the Western Continent for so many years and occupy a large area

in the northeastern region with just brute force.

Pa! Loli snapped her fingers lightly, and the eyes of the Ore Chieftain who was lying on the ground twitched. He then opened his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him in confusion.

Then, he opened his mouth. His face trembled violently, but he could not make any sound. His body was still motionless, but Yan Chong could clearly see the anger in his eyes. That’s right, there was no hatred or

sadness from sacrificing his own kind, only anger from being controlled.

Loli stuck out her tongue and snapped her fingers again.

“CTS aH TS | 2?=V?”5A%..”

All of a sudden, a string of messy syllables sounded from the orc’s mouth.

“This is the Windwolf Orc language, right?” Yan Chong thought to himself. He did not choose to copy this language earlier, so he could not understand a single word.

“Haha, acting dumb with me?” Loli laughed scornfully.

This Ore Chieftain definitely knew how to speak the common language of the continent, but he was speaking their own language now. It was obvious that he was clear-headed and understood his situation, trying to

bluff his way out.

Loli raised her hands and her fingers flew in the air, forming a mysterious hand seal. Then, she pointed at the Orc Chieftain, who was stunned.

At the same time, Yan Chong also felt a tremendous mental fluctuation.

“This is—Hypnosis! At least a Grade B Hypnosis!” Yan Chong looked at the familiar casting posture and immediately associated it with the knowledge of Hypnosis.

Advanced Hypnosis could hypnotize the enemy with just mental energy, but in the face of an Advanced professional, using hand seals could increase the power of the spell and increase the success rate.

“Name?”

“Johnson Windwolf!”

“Gender?”

“Male.”

“What is your complete plan?”

“Attack Dawn Town, establish the altar node, and summon the Evil God.”

“Altar node? Which Evil God’s altar are you building? Also, where is the node?”

The feeling of a suspect being interrogated by the police came to him. Under the powerful effect of Advanced Hypnosis, the interrogation atmosphere was unusually harmonious.

“Did any of you collect a book in the library that was difficult to destroy?”

“No.”

“Tell me exactly what you did with the books here.”

“I’m very interested in the history books and biographies of the people here. I also instructed my subordinates not to destroy the books, but they still destroyed quite a number of books. As for whether they took them

away privately, I don’t know either.”

At this point, Loli turned to Yan Chong and said, “This is going to be troublesome. Not only do we have to expand our search range, but we also have to destroy the altar node they built.”

“Why did they summon the Evil God?” Yan Chong asked.

“Orcs like to worship totems. This has to do with their bloodline, and behind these totems is the shadow of an Evil God.”

“The Evil God likes to steal faith through hints, incarnations, and other means. They can please them through evil and cruel rituals. And from the ritual, the Orcs can receive special powers. This kind of power is not

only in terms of pure combat, but also in mysterious powers like luck.”

Loli pointed at the Orc Chieftain’s forehead, and a powerful mental energy entered it. “His mental sea has already collapsed. From now on, he will be an idiot. Let’s not kill him for now to avoid alerting the enemy. Silver

rank Orcs and above have life tablets in the Alliance, especially small tribal chiefs who carry out special missions.”

Loli stopped her interrogation and took the lead down the stairs. “This library had a basement. Their node is built there.”

Yan Chong looked at the Ore Chieftain who was lying on the ground, his eyes dazed and his mouth foaming. This was an XP worth over a thousand points. It seemed like he wouldn’t have the chance to take it.

First floor. Behind the counter in the hall was a bookshelf against the wall.

Moving the bookshelf aside, a wooden door appeared on the wall.

“I was wondering why this bookshelf wasn’t destroyed.” Yan Chong suddenly realized something strange.

When he entered the library hall earlier, he had also noticed the bookshelf, but he subconsciously thought that it was placed normally so that the librarian could read when on duty.

“This bookcase doesn’t seem to be here in the first place. Otherwise, the space behind this counter would be too narrow for the librarian to fit in.”

They opened the door and went inside. They found themselves on a spiral wooden staircase. They went down it, and the smell of blood made them pause..
