Apostle of Cthulhu

"Mr. Si Wei!" After Si Wei returned to the first floor and waited for a while, Gary, whose search speed was slightly slower than him, also returned to the place where the two of them had just separated.

Si Wei glanced at his watch and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Gary shook his head, "I searched a series of places such as the kitchen, dining room, laundry room, tea room, utility room, study room, etc. Unfortunately, I found very little. The only conclusion I can draw is that no one should have lived here. Mark of."

"What about the secret door? Did you find anything?"

When asked this question, Gary hesitated a little, "Well... I didn't find anything, but there are some issues that I am more concerned about..."

"What is it?" Si Wei asked.

Gary pointed in the direction he came back from just now, "Why don't you come directly with me? It's too weak to describe it in words, and I can't guarantee that what I said is definitely correct."

Si Wei agreed with his statement and followed his steps, turning left and right to reach an unusually luxurious study room.

It’s not surprising that this study is called a small library. The bookshelves cover the entire wall and cover an area larger than a two-bedroom study. It doesn’t look like the collection of an ordinary home.

The bookshelf is filled with many books, and each book is different. There is no such thing as the same book.

"Look, Mr. Siwei," Gary pointed to the highest bookshelf, "the bookshelves here are all so high, but I don't see a ladder. Don't you think it's strange? There's not even a ladder, so what's going on with these books? What about being put on and then taken down?”

Si Wei looked in the direction of Gary's finger. Indeed, the burgundy bookshelf was much higher than the bookshelf next to it. It had reached a height of half a person. Ordinary people would have to go to the top of the book if they wanted to get it. Just rely on a ladder.

"Is Mr. Isaac Victor very tall?" Si Wei asked.

Gary shook his head. Although it was rare for him to see the existence of four-star cores in daily life, Gary naturally knew the information about the four of them. "No, Mr. Isaac is only about 1.8 meters tall." , it is far from reaching the level of being able to take down the top books by standing on tiptoes.

In this case, the highest bookshelf is very suspicious...

Si Wei walked closer and stretched out his hand, asking Gary for a flashlight.

Gary consciously handed his flashlight to Si Wei.

snap——

The dazzling light spread from the flashlight. Because Gary was used to the darkness, he was a little unable to adapt to the sudden light. He had to close his eyes and take a moment to look at the place where the light shined.

Si Wei was indifferent and carefully observed the books on the top floor. For someone who was over 1.8 meters tall, only the books on the top floor could not be touched, so that was also the most suspicious place.

After looking at it for a long time, Si Wei came to his own conclusion, "The book at the top is fake."

"False?" Gary didn't understand what Si Wei meant, "Mr. Si Wei... what are you talking about?"

Si Wei re-explained his words, "The ones on the top are not books, but mechanisms disguised as books. Although Mr. Isaac's disguise was very reasonable and even the classification and sorting of books were taken into consideration, he was still I noticed."

Gary looked left and right but didn't see the suspicious point that Si Wei found, so he asked again with an open-minded attitude of seeking knowledge, "I still don't quite understand..."

Fortunately, Si Wei is more patient, or because of his rationality, he is not prone to negative emotions such as anger, anxiety, and boredom. "The book in the third row from left to right on the top floor The name of the book is "On the Reliability of Aircraft and Future Prospects", and the author's name is wrong. "

This immediately touched upon Gary's knowledge blind spot, which Si Wei could understand. After all, not everyone was like him, who read extensively in the library of Nanyoku University and memorized those things. The title and author of the book, and even the knowledge points in it.

Now, a new problem was placed in front of Si Wei, that is, how should he trigger that mechanism.

First of all, he doesn't know the specific triggering method of the mechanism, nor does he know what will happen after triggering the mechanism. If this is just a bait and triggers the mechanism to open the death trap, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Si Wei was not prepared to borrow the power of the Omniscient Book. His mind was not useless, and one day the Omniscient Book would leave him. He could not always rely on the wisdom of others.

Therefore, Si Wei chose to take risks and try it himself.

Regardless of whether any traps would be triggered, he was confident that they could be avoided.

After making this decision, Si Wei began to think about how to activate the agency.

In this matter, he must think about the problem from Isaac's perspective. How to activate the mechanism is "the reasonable way in Isaac's mind"?

It was difficult for Siwei to do this because he didn't know much about Isaac and didn't know what was going on in his mind.

Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, his eyes suddenly glanced at a book above his head.

The cover of this book is a deep ocean blue, with the title "Logbook" written on the side.

Si Wei frowned and stretched out his hand, ready to take out the book.

There is no other reason than the title of this book.

Click——

Si Wei did not pull out the book completely, but only broke off a corner of it from the neatly arranged books, but it effectively triggered the mechanism behind the bookshelf.

"Wow!" Gary only heard the sound of the mechanism working, and did not guess that it might be some kind of death trap. "Mr. Si Wei, you are so amazing! You found the location of the mechanism in one go!"

Si Wei did not answer his question, because he was concentrating on being alert to all the dangers that might attack him.

Fortunately, this was not some kind of death trap.

After Si Wei broke off a corner of the "Logbook", the surrounding bookshelves began to move regularly, and the dull sound echoed in every corner of the study, until in front of Si Wei and Gary, there was a secret passage that could just accommodate one person.

In the secret passage, some pungent smells entered Si Wei's nasal cavity.

But this time the smell was completely different from the smell of the oil paintbrush, but the smell of blood... and some low and painful wails!

Gary was stunned and reacted for a full three seconds!

Si Wei patted his shoulder, calling him back from his surprise, and looked at him.

Gary swallowed his saliva and walked into the dark passage first, clinging to the wall with both hands, fearing that the bricks under his feet would disappear in the next second, revealing the hot magma under his feet.

Si Wei, who followed behind him, frowned and listened to the painful screams with both ears.

Behind the wall, those things were still moving regularly.
