A fierce ideological struggle was going on in Li Jing's brain.

As his neck was pinched tighter and tighter, Li Jing's face gradually turned red, and his entire head looked red and warm.

Just when Li Jing couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to give in, the other players finally rushed over.

Everyone ran down breathlessly and saw this thrilling scene.

The players looked at each other in bewilderment. Should they save Li Jing? How should they save Li Jing?

Tian Qiren was quite nice. Next to him was a sofa with soft pillows.

He picked up the pillow and threw it at the black-robed reader.

If he threw the pillow, it would probably hit the black robe, but the other party wouldn't be hurt or angry.

Tian Qi was the type who wanted to help but was afraid of getting into trouble, so he helped but not completely.

However, in Guimen, this action can be considered heartwarming.

The pillow hit the black-robed reader, but he didn't move at all. He didn't even look towards Tian Qi, but just stood there.

Li Jing's face became increasingly red, his neck even began to turn pale, and he could hardly breathe through his nose.

Seeing that he was about to be strangled to death, Li Jing suddenly felt that the hand that was pinching his neck suddenly loosened miraculously.

Li Jing was able to take a breath suddenly. He breathed in big gulps greedily, holding his neck and coughing. He was half bent over, and his back was soaked with sweat.

The black-robed reader standing in front of him turned away with some disappointment.

It didn't seem to expect that the receptionist would be so stubborn and refuse to lend it the book.

The black-robed reader left, and the human skin book just lay quietly on the front desk.

The players also came over at this time, and Tian Qi patted Li Jing on the shoulder, "Are you okay?"

"I almost died! Cough cough cough..." Li Jing coughed violently a few times, his face showing relief for having survived the disaster, "Luckily I held on, no one will die tonight. I can sleep well on the first night."

Chen Mu came over and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work, buddy."

Chen Mu looked at the human skin book on the front desk that had not been borrowed by Black Robe.

It was similar to the human skin book that Chen Mu had seen at Wang Dulan's place this morning. The human skin book in front of him was also made of a compressed whole person.

However, the human skin book in the morning had no words written on it. The human skin book in the black robe had the following words written on the cover:

【Human bone brush making 1】

Chen Mu said: "This book is meaningful."

Upon hearing this, the others came over and looked at the book.

He opened the cover of the book, revealing the pages.

It was the first time that Chen Mu saw such a terrifying and strange page.

Since the whole person is compressed and cut into more than a thousand pages, each page is a compressed slice of a person.

Bones, blood vessels, skin, organs... like a painting, cut into thin slices.

And on these pages, there are words that I can't understand.

The font is distorted and ugly, and against the backdrop of the weird pages, it gives people an absurd and terrifying feeling.

Chen Mu said: "The content of this book should be the production process of human bone brushes. Black Robe wants to borrow this book. Could it be that he wants to learn how to make it?"

Li Susu pondered and said, "This explains why the black-robed reader has to come back at night and kill someone after borrowing the book. It matches the rules."

"Why?" Zhang Mengshan, who was with her, asked subconsciously before he could react.

Li Susu replied: "The rules have been written. After reading the book and learning the methods above, it couldn't help but come back to kill a person and make a human bone brush. We are the raw material for the brush."

Chen Mu nodded. He agreed more with Li Susu's speculation.

Fortunately, the book has not been borrowed, so if nothing unexpected happens, the first night should be safe.

The players all breathed a sigh of relief, but no one was completely at ease.

After all, who can tell clearly what is happening inside Guimen?

If there is a trap, it would be normal for someone to be killed if they fail to react in time.

The players put the human skin book back on the bookshelf. It was already five o'clock.

As the sun sets, readers who were studying in the library began to pack up their things.

People began to leave, and the library, which was originally quite crowded, began to gradually become quiet.

The library does not provide overnight service and closes at 7pm.

At half past six, the library starts playing music to inform readers that it is about to close.

Soft music echoed in the empty hall. It should have been a relaxing and comfortable tune, but it made people feel a little chilly when they heard it.

Chen Mu glanced out the window. The sun had already set, the sunset glow was gradually fading away, and the library began to become dim.

When the museum closed at seven o'clock, the players tidied up the tables and chairs and put the messy chairs back in their original places.

After finishing the cleanup, everyone was tired after a day of work and a little hungry.

So the players went to the duty room and got some instant noodles and biscuits for their dinner.

While eating dinner, the players talked about the night's vigil.

According to Rule 10, the library also needs to be patrolled at night, and players need to ensure that there is at least one patrol officer at any time of the night.

Everyone knows that patrolling alone in such a haunted place in the middle of the night is as suicidal as voluntarily leaving the team in a horror movie.

It is absolutely impossible to do it alone. It will be safer if there are at least two people together.

It's not completely dark yet, and it's not night yet. Players can rest for two hours and wait for night to fall.

After the meal, Chen Mu took the lead in suggesting that everyone divide into groups of two.

There are nine hours in total, from nine o'clock at night to six o'clock the next morning, which is exactly three groups of three hours each, so everyone has six hours of sleep.

Divide into groups first, and then start patrolling when the time comes, without any delay.

Li Susu immediately said, "I'm in a group with Mengshan."

They are a couple, and it would be abnormal if they were not grouped together.

Chen Mu nodded. He glanced at Li Jing. Judging from his performance today, this Li Jing was not simple.

Being able to hold out for so long from the man in black robe, until the moment before death, is not something an ordinary person can do.

As for his patrolling teammates, Chen Mu still thinks it’s better to keep it simple.

In Guimen, in addition to being wary of strange things, players also need to be wary of each other.

So he asked Wang Dulan next to him, "Shall we be a team?"

Wang Dulan nodded, which was considered as his agreement.

The remaining Li Jing and Tian Qi were naturally divided into a group.

Li Jing smiled at Tian Qi and said, "Brother, we are now a team. We are destined to be together. Thank you very much today."

"It's just a small thing, we can help each other." Tian Qi replied with a smile.

After the groups are divided, the next step is to determine the patrol time.

Li Jing and his group came first, followed by Chen Mu and Wang Dulan, and finally Li Susu and Zhang Mengshan.
