Li Jing's words immediately resonated with the players.

After the first day of work, the players can feel that the key point lies in whether to lend books to black-robed readers during the day!

According to the librarian's rules, books must not be borrowed during the day, otherwise the black-robed readers will come back at night and kill someone, putting on a new layer of black robes in a cruel way.

Now the players obeyed the curator's wishes. During the day, Li Jing tried his best but failed to lend the book to the black-robed reader.

But what?

The things the curator said still happened!

At night, Black Robe came back again, killed Tian Qi again, and made Tian Qi into a new Black Robe.

Li Jing's guess makes sense.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Jing said, "What do you think? Is it possible that the book [Making a Human Bone Brush 1] is actually protecting us?"

"Protect us?" Wang Dulan was a little puzzled.

"I understand what you mean." Chen Mu said, "You mean that [Human Bone Brush Making 1] is actually a wrong making tutorial.

After borrowing this book, the black-robed readers may look for other targets according to the wrong tutorial and will not regard us as raw materials.

Now that it has not borrowed the tutorial, it has returned to the library based on its own experience and previous ideas to look for us, the 'raw materials'."

Li Jing nodded, "You understood it correctly, this is exactly what I meant!

You see, the black robe had already put on a layer of black robe before we came, which means it probably knows how to make a black robe.

According to its 'ancient method of making black robes', we, the players, are its raw materials.

However, according to the new production method of [Human Bone Brush Making 1], the raw materials become other people, people or things outside the library.

If we let the black robe borrow it during the day and it learns a new way to make it, it will go find someone else at night and won’t bother us anymore. That will be our Christmas Eve.”

Li Jing's words, coupled with Chen Mu's support, instantly made the players nod their heads.

"What you said does make sense," said Zhang Mengshan.

Li Susu said: "Yes, we can't understand the words on [Human Bone Brush Making 1]. But we can understand all the other books in the library.

But we can’t understand the most important part of this book. I think it is very likely a deliberate setup by the curator!

The curator deliberately made it impossible for us to understand the content and not know what the book said, in order to divert the black-robed readers.

Since we couldn't understand the content, we could only abide by the rules and fulfill the curator's purpose.

So, the one that really wants to kill us is not the black robe, it just wants to make a bone pen.

The one who really wants to kill us is actually the curator!"

As Li Susu continued to speculate, a very likely truth was slowly coming to light.

"Then what should we do now?" Wang Dulan asked weakly.

Li Jing said, "It's very simple. We should be safe tonight. Tomorrow during the day, when the black-robed reader comes to borrow books again, we will do the opposite and not follow the wrong rules. Instead, we will lend the book to the black-robed reader!"

Wang Dulan hesitated. "Wouldn't that be dangerous? It would violate the director's rules..."

"Is it useful to follow the rules?" Li Jing snorted coldly, pointing at the pool of blood on the ground.

Wang Dulan stopped talking immediately. Yes, is it useful to follow the rules?

There is a high probability that there are wrong rules mixed in with the curator’s rules.

Everyone followed the rules on the first day, but Tian Qi died tragically that night.

Tian Qi used his life to help the players explore the way and found a possible wrong rule.

If you continue not to borrow books, a second person will die on the second night.

Instead of doing this, why not do the opposite and try to survive.

At least for now, this rule is likely to be wrong, and violating this rule may increase the chance of survival.

After thinking this through, all the players agreed to lend the human skin book to the black robe reader the next day.

For now, those who need to patrol must continue patrolling.

Li Jing had no teammates left and was alone.

He looked at everyone, and it was obvious that no one was willing to team up with him anymore.

Not to mention anything else, Li Jing just lost a teammate, who would be willing to team up with him again? From a psychological point of view, it is a bit unlucky.

Fortunately, after the black-robed reader kills someone, he probably won’t kill a second person.

Li Jing also had some idea in his mind, so he didn't say anything else and didn't force anyone to join anyone's team.

"By the way, what should we do with this pool of blood?" Li Susu asked.

Zhang Mengshan said, "What else can we do? Just leave it here. What's the big deal about a pool of blood? Killing a chicken will result in a basin of blood."

"What I mean is, we are the managers of the library, so cleaning should also be our job..." said Li Susu.

Her meaning was very clear. When we go back to work tomorrow morning, everyone must use something to clean up this pool of blood.

Not to mention whether it's tiring or not, just thinking about the man in black robe killing Tian Qi and looking at the bloodstains makes people feel uncomfortable.

After Li Susu finished speaking, everyone looked at Li Jing.

"Fuck, why are you looking at me?" Li Jing was confused.

"That was your teammate. You two were patrolling together, and he died. You can say that he took the blame for you, otherwise the man in black robe would have killed you." Li Susu said.

"Well...if you say so, then it is true. So what?" Li Jing asked.

"It's reasonable for you to clean up the mess for your buddy who helped you out of disaster," said Li Susu.

Li Jing's eyes widened. "So you want me to clean up this pool of blood in the middle of the night?"

Li Susu said, "Tomorrow morning is fine. This should be your business anyway."

Wang Dulan also agreed, "Yes, this is your team's patrol time. We are here to help you two and give you courage. The aftermath happened during your patrol time, so you should handle it."

Li Jing sighed helplessly. He looked at the bloodstains on the ground and said, "Okay, I'll get a mop and clean it up later."

There was nothing else to do at the moment, and the black-robed reader had left, so Chen Mu and the others said goodbye and went back to the lounge on the fourth floor to sleep.

In strange missions, especially those that span several days, it is particularly important to get enough sleep to help keep your mind clear.

When Chen Mu and others were sleeping, Li Jing went to the bathroom and took a mop and bucket from the cleaning tool room.

The library was dark and deserted in the middle of the night.

Li Jing was holding a mop and mopping the bloodstains on the ground.

Swish, swish... The mop rubbed against the ground, picking up the blood on the ground and putting it into the bucket to rinse it.

When Chen Mu and Wang Dulan were patrolling, Chen Mu came here specifically to take a look and found that the bloodstains on the ground had been cleaned up.

In the second half of the night, everything was normal.

With the arrival of dawn, the second day's sunshine shines into the library.
