Chapter 240 Meng Gaoxuan’s Gamble

The more Meng Gaoxuan read, the more frightened he became. His heart beat faster. He realized the importance of these rules.

He looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was now ten o'clock in the evening, which meant that he only had two hours to find clues and leave the library.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down. The most important thing now is to follow these rules while finding clues related to the treasure.

He carefully continued to flip through the notebook, hoping to find more useful information.

But before he had time to look, he heard a low sound of footsteps in the distance.

He was startled, immediately hid the notebook in his pocket, and then quickly hid in the shadow of a bookshelf.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Meng Gaoxuan held his breath and held the rifle tightly.

Through the gap in the bookshelf, he saw a figure slowly walking over. The figure wore a black robe and a mask on his face, making his face unclear.

But there was an indescribable aura exuding from his body, and Meng Gaoxuan felt extremely depressed. Just looking at him made people feel suffocated and breathless.

However, Meng Gaoxuan also had an intuition. If he looked away and didn't look at him, he would find himself!

Meng Gaoxuan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. This person was probably the guardian in the library or some kind of monster.

He didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only wait quietly and stare at him.

The figure wandered among the bookshelves for a while, and then suddenly stopped in front of the bookshelf where Meng Gaoxuan was hiding.

Meng Gaoxuan's heart was in his throat, and he clenched his rifle nervously.

They almost met each other's eyes, but luckily the figure was taller and the bookshelf blocked his view. The figure didn't seem to notice Meng Gaoxuan. He continued to walk forward and finally disappeared into the darkness.

Meng Gaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief. He took out his notebook again and studied it carefully.

But he couldn't find any clues after reading the entire notebook. There was only an inexplicable sentence written on the last page: "On the bookshelf."

What's on the bookshelf?

Meng Gaoxuan frowned, puzzled. According to the rules, he cannot touch the books on the bookshelf, and he cannot take out the books and look at them one by one.

He just took this notebook, and he didn't know if he was tricked or not. Logically speaking, notebooks should not be considered “books”!

Meng Gaoxuan decided to wander around again to see if he could find any clues.

He carefully avoided the books on the shelves and tried to stay as quiet as possible. When he walked to a remote corner, he suddenly heard a low groan.

He looked along the sound and saw a pale and weak figure sitting on the ground, holding his head in his hands, as if he was enduring great pain.

"Hello, do you need help?" Meng Gaoxuan asked cautiously.

After saying that, Meng Gaoxuan's heart suddenly tightened, and he remembered the third rule in his notebook: "You are not allowed to make loud noises in the library, otherwise it will attract ominous attention."

He didn't know if he was making a loud noise or if it was a violation of the rules, and his scalp suddenly became numb.

The figure raised its head, revealing a pale and ferocious face. His eyes shone with a green light, like an evil ghost from hell.

"Why are you here?" the figure asked hoarsely, his voice full of anger and threat.

Meng Gaoxuan was frightened by the ferocious face, but he quickly forced himself to calm down. He understood that the current situation was very critical and any small mistake could lead to his death.

He tried to make his voice sound calm and firm: "I...I'm just looking for some clues, and I don't mean any harm."

The figure seemed dissatisfied with his answer. His face showed a more ferocious expression, and the green light in his eyes flickered even more.

"Looking for clues?" He smiled sarcastically, "There is only despair and pain here, not the treasure you are seeking. You broke the rules, and now, you will be punished."

After saying that, the figure suddenly stood up, and its body changed instantly, as if a shadow was twisting and expanding, and finally turned into a creepy monster.

Its skin was a rotten gray, covered with abscesses and fissures, and black liquid was constantly dripping from the fissures.

Its eyes turned blood red, like burning flames, and stared at Meng Gaoxuan fiercely.

Its arms twisted into sharp claws, long and sharp, as if they could tear anything apart.

Its back was bulging, as if something was breaking out of its body.

With a harsh tearing sound, a pair of huge wings spread out from its back. The wings were covered with black feathers, and each feather exuded an evil aura.

The monster opened its huge mouth and let out a deafening roar.

Its voice was full of pain and rage, as if it was about to shake the entire library.

Its roar echoed in the empty library, making Meng Gaoxuan feel dizzy and almost unconscious.

The monster waved its sharp claws and pounced towards Meng Gaoxuan. Meng Gaoxuan panicked. He quickly raised his rifle and aimed at the monster's head.

However, just when he was about to shoot, he suddenly remembered the third rule: "No loud noises are allowed in the library, otherwise it will attract unforeseen consequences."

Also, Xiao Gui promised that as long as they follow the rules, there will be no danger.

Although it's not possible for the kid, it's somewhat guaranteed, right?

He thought that his voice was so subtle just now that it was definitely not making a noise.

Moreover, this monster is so ferocious, can he really handle it? Once the weapon is fired, it must be against the rules, and I am afraid that there will be no life or death at that time, and there will be no escape!

Meng Gaoxuan decided to take a gamble. Instead of pulling the wrench, he opened his eyes wide and waited for the monster to attack.

Just when the monster was about to encounter Meng Gaoxuan, the monster suddenly disappeared.

Meng Gaoxuan felt relieved suddenly, but suddenly there was a chill behind him. Meng Gaoxuan felt a cold wind coming from behind. He turned around suddenly and saw that the monster was close at hand.

The fishy wind hit his nose and made him want to vomit!

The monster's claws clawed hard at his shoulders, and he felt a sharp pain spread throughout his body.

Are monsters real?

At this moment, Meng Gaoxuan couldn't help but doubt his decision-making. He raised his gun and was about to shoot.

However, at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed in Meng Gaoxuan's mind - this monster is so powerful, why not just break his own neck?

There are only two possibilities: either the monster likes to play sadistic killings, or this monster does not really exist, but is an illusion created by that mysterious figure!

He gritted his teeth and decided to continue betting!
