In a daze, Futaba, who had lost her tall figure and towering chest, suddenly opened her eyes, straightened up from the velvet cushion like a resurrected corpse that was severely malnourished during life, and subconsciously let out a exclamation.

Immediately afterwards, the familiar system prompt sounded calmly in the girl's ears:

[Blank Book 2: The Road to Survival: Abnormal Creation mission has been completed, and the reward is: the right to open the seventh floor of the forbidden book area. Since the completion rate of this mission is 103%, no additional rewards can be obtained]

"One hundred and three..."

Futaba raised her index finger and pushed her glasses slightly, and murmured in a low voice: "If the two items of 'escaping from the [Bloody Girls Arena]' and 'not boarding the [Slaughter]' are added together, The degree of completion is no more, no less, exactly 100%, so the answer sheet I gave this time is only three points more than the standard answer? Hey——"

At the end of the sentence, Futaba suddenly turned to look at Shu Ling who had appeared behind the desk next to him at some point, staring at her with raised eyebrows.

"Excellent performance."

Shu Ling, who always appeared as a "unattractive-looking, fat middle-aged man", nodded slightly to Futaba and said softly in a calm tone: "Congratulations on completing the challenge, Ms. Futaba, from now on you have You can enter the seventh layer of the mirror image I created."

The girl narrowed her eyes and stared at Shu Ling for a while before stiffly twitching her lips: "Should I say thank you?"

"Of course there is no need for this, ma'am, after all, this is a fair deal, you-"

Having said this, Shu Ling briefly turned his attention to Mo Tan, who was lying not far from Futaba and still had not regained consciousness: "There is also Mr. Frank Hughes who showed me more possibilities, and I You will be rewarded accordingly, and no one needs to say 'thank you'."

Futaba snorted softly, stood up slowly, and while slowly moving around in circles in this foggy white space, he lazily continued to ask: "So, that guy Frank is still alive?"

"Mr. Frank never died, of course, if you mean 'Haru Kutata' who he is currently playing in that story... yes, he is alive."

Shu Ling gave a straight answer, and added after a brief silence: "But in my opinion, there is not much difference between the two of you."

Futaba smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Oh, that means that although Frank is still alive, he is already dead?"

"It's 'Haru Kutata' played by Mr. Frank, but I can probably understand what you mean, Ms. Futaba."

Although he behaves relatively innocently, Shu Ling is not really dull, so there is no problem in understanding Mr. Zang Kejia's words.

"Well, it's garbage time, I understand, I understand."

Futaba shrugged, and then strolled around behind Shu Ling. While squeezing the shoulders of the fat man in front of him, he asked with a smile: "Then, dear Lord Shu Ling, no. Do you know if you could live stream it for me... Well, just to let me see what Frank is doing inside?"

As she expected, Shu Ling immediately shook his head without thinking: "I'm sorry, this is different from what we agreed before, so although I can do it, I can't do that."

Futaba immediately took off the small hand on the other's shoulder and curled his lips: "It's boring."

"Why don't you wait until Mr. Frank comes out before asking him?"

Shu Ling asked back calmly.

"Of course I suspect he is dishonest."

Futaba also gave the answer without hesitation, and said calmly before Shu Ling spoke: "It is better to say, even if you are always from God's perspective and are willing to testify for him, as long as I don't see it with my own eyes, I will still feel... My guess is that both of you are dishonest."

Shu Ling showed no reaction and declined to comment.

"Don't mind. I've always been smart, lively and cute."

Futaba walked around to the front of Shuling again and made a face at the latter: "Then, just like last time, are you willing to tell the beautiful little girl in front of you that if you successfully meet the historical conditions, you can get 100 points, and the full score is If it’s 200 points, how many points did the dead me and Frank, who was already in garbage time, each get?”

"Miss Futaba, I think you should be able to get one hundred points, maybe a little more. After all, Meifu Xiangluan in the story is not as organized as you."

Shu Ling gave the answer in a good-natured manner, and then said: "As for Mr. Frank Hughes, he should be able to get almost the same score."

Futaba chuckled lightly and grinned: "Fortunately, if he does better than me this time, I will definitely go crazy. Having said that, can you answer a question?"

"It depends, Ms. Futaba."

Shu Ling showed a faint smile and said softly: "I have answered many of your questions, haven't I?"

"Yes, you are quite nice."

Futaba replied casually, and then asked seriously: "What I want to know is, why don't you let Frank board the ship named [Slaughter]."

Shu Ling was silent for a moment, and did not directly answer Futaba's question, but asked instead: "Can I understand that as a foreigner, Miss Futaba, you also have the same restrictions in the 'mission' you received? "

Futaba nodded without hesitation: "That's right, my mission requirement is to escape from the [Bloody Girl Arena] and not board the Fourteenth [Slaughter]."

"Oh, this really makes me feel honored."

The book spirit laughed again, and then gave the answer to the previous question: "The reason why I don't suggest Mr. Frank board that ship is simple, because within the scope of my knowledge, there is no way to calculate it anyway." A reasonable follow-up development. In fact, the story about [Slaying] and 'Fourteen' ends completely here. As far as I know, there has been no more since they left the north coast of Sleepy Hollow. appears in any record entered into the library."

Futaba opened her eyes in surprise: "Huh? I thought those people would be able to do something big."

"Maybe they did do something great, but I don't know."

Shuling said this very calmly, and then asked Futaba before he could speak: "Are there any other questions?"

Futaba was not polite and asked immediately: "You should know something about the race of the Fourteenth, right? Tell me about it?"

"Perhaps you can choose to ask Mr. Frank later."

Ta Ling glanced at Mo Tan's body in the impression space and said softly: "In fact, the 'Fourteen' in the story is currently answering this question for him."

Futaba was stunned for a moment, then laughed inexplicably. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, then, the last three questions."

"Your thirst for knowledge is truly admirable, so please tell me."

"First question, was the reason why I was sent out just now because I stupidly triggered divine punishment while playing the role of 'Meifu Xiangluan' and died on the spot?"

"Yes, but I think this is not an oversight on your part, Ms. Futaba. After all, you are a mage, and it is natural that you do not know much about theology."

"Whether it was my omission or not, I have the final say. Then, the second question is, what is the final outcome of the real Meifu Xiangluan?"

"After escaping from the [Bloody Maiden Arena], he died on the north coast of Sleepy Head Cliff. The cause of death was divine punishment."

"..."

Futaba pursed her lips and nodded slightly. After a while, she sighed quietly: "The last question..."

"Hmm~"

At this moment, Frank Hughes, who was lying not far away, suddenly opened his eyes, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Futaba, who was standing in front of Shu Ling with his hands folded, and exclaimed: "Shuangye, are you okay? , I saw you before—"

"Shut up first."

Futaba interrupted him impatiently without looking back, and continued the question she had just failed to finish: "Do you know what happened to the just knight who was missed by Maeve?"

Frank fell silent, although he had no idea what Futaba was talking about.

Shu Ling asked calmly: "Is this a very important question?"

"Not important at all."

Futaba shook her head and said in a brisk tone: "I'm just curious."

"Ms. Futaba, of course, and Mr. Frank, the stories you experienced before are from the memoirs written by Kuton Yaxin and White Diamond Kuaishou. Historically, they have not been brought to the attention of the Fourteeners. They spent many years at sea, finally overthrowing the rule of Marta Esso, and chose to retire after supporting the previous leader's well-hidden youngest son to ascend the Bone Throne."

Shu Ling's eyes swept over Futaba and Motan respectively, and said leisurely: "Kuton is Haru's most trusted partner. He wrote almost everything about the [Medicine King's Poison]. As for the goblin The female mage Bai Diamond was entrusted with the holy book by Meifu Xiangluan, who seemed to have vaguely noticed something at the time, and it took many years to decipher the secret hidden inside."

Futaba frowned slightly: "So that just knight..."

"Before she went into seclusion, Bai Diamond once tried to go to the United Holy Church to find the knight who Maeve Xiangluan missed day and night, but unfortunately she didn't gain much."

Shuling gently patted the black book that appeared in front of him at some point, shook his head and said: "So there is no relevant record in the memoirs written by her and Couton."

Futaba sighed and murmured helplessly: "Oh, that's it, that's okay..."

"Wait a mininute."

But Mo Tan suddenly walked up to Futaba and asked Shu Ling: "What you just said is that there is no relevant record in the memoirs written by Bai Diamond and Kuton. So, what about other places?"

Futaba's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I'm not sure, but...it's not without clues."

The book spirit raised his hand, and the simple black book in front of him was immediately replaced by a thick book with a golden cover: "The name of this book is "The Biography of Campas", and it was written by a scholar from the Violet Empire a long time ago. Compiled by him, he was a good friend of Campas Richard, the Grand Knight Commander of the Justice Sect at that time."

Futaba nodded slightly and murmured in a low voice: "Campus Richard...could it be said that he is..."

"I don't think Campas is the knight that Maeve Xiangluan wrote in the holy book."

The book spirit shook his head and calmly narrated: "But the seventh section of this biography mentioned one thing, that is, when Campas was still a knight apprentice, he went to Doumbouya City as a trainee Many times I was taken care of by a certain senior, a just knight named Tom."

Futaba laughed dryly: "This name is quite vulgar..."

"In Campas's memory, it seems that his Uncle Tom had taken the initiative to apply for transfer to the city of Doumbouya, where no one else could hide, a long time ago, and has never left that place for more than ten years."

The book spirit casually opened the book in front of him and said in a flat tone: "Campus thinks Tom is a very humorous, talkative, and cheerful person, although he is often distracted, and he will always be in a daze when the young Priestess of Fertility passes by. , but he is still very lovable, so he often goes back to visit him after he finishes his internship."

Futaba crossed his arms and asked nonchalantly: "What then?"

Shu Ling closed the biography in front of him and said calmly: "He died. As far as Campas knows, it seems that he ran into a large Gray Lizard Hunter army in a certain encounter, and was wiped out along with his team. Nothing is left.”

Futaba narrowed her eyes, stared at Shu Ling and asked, "Is that Tom the man that Maeve Xiangluan thinks about day and night?"

"I'm not sure, but based on time calculation, at least within the scope of my knowledge, the just knight named Tom is the most qualified."

Shu Ling did not answer in the affirmative, but expressed his opinion objectively and pertinently.

"Heh, if that's the case, it's really a boring story."

Futaba curled her lips and turned to look at Frank, who just let out a long sigh: "What do you think? Mr. Poet."

"From a story point of view, if Knight Tom is really Ms. Maeve's sweetheart, then whether he eventually becomes a great paladin or degenerates into a cruel and murderous evil knight who can use some kind of dark power , are far more dramatic than dying in an ordinary battle, and the reward you can get will be much more than the latter, but..."

Frank took a deep breath, lowered his eyes and said, "Personally, I think that even if the facts are like what Mr. Shu Ling just said, it would be pretty good."

"fine?"

Futaba glanced at her and asked curiously: "Where can I go?"

"Didn't Captain Campas say in his biography that Senior Tom was humorous, talkative, and cheerful?"

Mo Tan shrugged and said with a smile: "I don't think a man will change in this way after something happens to his sweetheart. In other words..."

"What?"

"Isn't that Knight Tom fighting in the city of Doumbouya, using actions to miss and commemorate Rose, while always maintaining the appearance that the latter likes?"

"Does this conflict with boredom?"

"This is not inconsistent with 'romance' either."
