Chapter 180 A Woman

I said in a deep voice, "Is He Haoyu the only person who has any say in the archives?"

The man nodded, "No, as far as I know, there are three."

"One is He Haoyu, and the other is the aide who lost the bet to He Haoyu. It is said that after the aide gambled his life with He Haoyu, he committed suicide in the governor's mansion. Before his death, he didn't ask for anything else, only that the governor would leave him a complete corpse."

"At that time, the governor was single-mindedly trying to achieve immortality, and couldn't wait to kill the aide to please He Haoyu. Later, after the aide begged bitterly, he agreed to give him a decent burial."

"It is said that the aide took poison after returning to his room, and He Haoyu personally examined the body. But, for some reason, the aide suddenly came back and has been guarding the governor's mansion ever since."

"The aide?" I frowned as I muttered to myself.

The aide was a very special figure in ancient times. He could be called a staff member, a strategist, or a confidential secretary. Although he always stayed behind the scenes, there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers among them.

This aide in the governor's mansion was probably no simple person. Even if he wasn't a sorcerer, he should have known something about the arts. Otherwise, he wouldn't have suggested having the executioner Zhang family come out to slay ghosts.

I continued, "What about the other one?"

The man quickly replied, "The other one is our curator. He can decipher those ancient characters, so many people give him some face. He is also considered a person with some influence in the archives."

I stared intently at the man's face and said, "That's it?"

The other party was startled by me, "That's it! Really, that's it!"

"That's it?" My voice sank slightly, "Isn't there a woman?"

"No! Absolutely not!" The man waved his hands repeatedly, "There has never been a woman in this library."

No woman?

Then who was the woman in the cheongsam who was following Lin Sihan on the first floor at that time?

Did Lin Sihan create her herself?

Or is there someone here that no one knows about?

While I was pondering, Ye Yang suddenly said, "Someone is surrounding us!"

I listened carefully and heard that the corridor had become silent, and the sounds of fighting outside had quietly died down at some point. The murderous aura outside was even more intense.

Although I couldn't see the scene outside the door, I could feel that it was as if hundreds of murderous ghosts had gathered outside, standing silently in the corridor, waiting for someone to give the order.

In the next moment, the wailing of ghosts suddenly rose outside the door, and Ye Yang's long sword across the door followed with a dragon's roar, and a cold light burst out.

A moment later, more than a dozen figures emerged from the wall, their swords and spears pointing straight into the room.

After the figures outside the wall took a step forward at the same time, the ghosts coming from the door were immediately shattered into will-o'-the-wisps by the long sword, while the rest of the people stretched out their toes on the wall.

"Hurry up!" Ye Yang shouted coldly, moving both palms at the same time, alternately slapping the wall. As clusters of will-o'-the-wisps exploded under Ye Yang's palms, more ghosts stepped into the room.

Lin Sihan's voice quickly came from outside, "Li Po! You don't need to struggle anymore. I have reached an agreement with He Haoyu. I'll help him kill you, and he'll send me out."

Among the three of us sorcerers, the only one who cannot reconcile with He Haoyu is me. I am here to take He Haoyu back to the underworld, so how could he reach an agreement with me?

Lin Sihan laughed lightly, "Li Po, your cultivation is not bad, but unfortunately, you have been poisoned by me. The more you struggle, the faster you will die. Give up!"

"The ghosts here are immortal, which means we have an endless army, but you only have two people. Even if you are just trying to exhaust us, you can't beat us. Giving up resistance is your best choice."

Lin Sihan said "give up" twice in a row, in fact, it was to increase my psychological pressure. Once I had the idea that I could not resist, this would be my burial place.

"Breakthrough!" I had to give up the task of the library. Just like Lin Sihan said, I can't completely kill the ghosts here, so I can only be exhausted to death by them.

"Change formation!" This time, it was Shi Yu's voice that came from outside the door.

As soon as his voice fell, I clearly felt a wave of magical power.

Shi Yu changed the maze formation in the corridor?

Sorcerers have an impression of the places they have been to. When I went out just now, there was no problem whether I wanted to return to the duty room or go upstairs. However, now if I break out through the door again, the result will be to fall into a situation where I can't tell east from west again.

Did Shi Yu also reach an agreement with the other party?

I said in a deep voice, "Ye Yang, I'll cover you, you find a way to break through! Even if I'm returning the favor of your sword just now."

Ye Yang said calmly, "Why don't you continue to overturn the table?"

I suddenly realized that since I had already overturned the table, why couldn't I overturn it one more time?

Since the other party has forced me into a dead end, I might as well go down with them. If I can't live, the opponent shouldn't think of getting any advantage either.

I looked at Ye Yang and said, "Do you have any explosives?"

"Are you a sorcerer?" Ye Yang's words were so choking. Genuine sorcerers rarely use modern weapons. Only those half-baked miscellaneous sorcerers play with guns and cannons.

Neither Ye Yang nor I brought those things!
