Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

"Thank you."

The two of them ate one each, and the sweetness of the candy melted in their mouths, producing dopamine and dispelling some of the gloomy emotions. Finally, at the intersection ahead, Feng Qingyu saw a familiar figure from behind.

My brother, Major Drake, was standing on the street with a thick cigar in his mouth. He took a big puff, put it down, and talked to the people next to him.

Feng Qingyu was about to walk over when he found that the person walking towards the major was a tall man wearing a Shenchi uniform. The other party's uniform was different from that of ordinary soldiers. The style was more gorgeous and the design was more complicated. He should be a small cadre or something like that.

The man looked excited.

"Mr. Drake, what are your plans next? Our team is ready to capture the entire Hill County, and those idiots stationed there are also losing ground. I heard that Lady Ahmonie has already attacked the commander's camp. The soldiers that Victoria is so proud of have lost their fighting spirit, and it is only a matter of time before they are captured."

The major took a puff of his cigarette and blew out a string of smoke rings.

"I...I will probably take over Xiaoqiu County with my army and wait for the chief's order. As long as that bastard Hamilton dies, I will have no regrets in my life. Shenchi fulfilled my wish for me, and I will spare no effort to help the chief fulfill her wish."

……

Because they were not far away, Feng Qingyu could hear their conversation clearly.

She was quite shocked that as an officer of Victoria, and a colonel at that, she had joined Shen Chi without anyone knowing.

In this situation, Feng Qingyu didn't know whether he should go over. While he was in a daze, he accidentally stepped on an empty mineral water bottle at his feet.

"Crack——"

The plastic bottle made an extremely crisp sound when it was squeezed, which successfully alarmed Major Drake and the man he was talking to.

"Who is there?"

The Shenchi cadre was agile and moved first, arriving at the hiding place of Feng Qingyu and Willow. When he saw the uniforms they were wearing, his frown relaxed.

"Why are you two here instead of going to look for Lady Ravshini? Don't think you can get the same salary as those who work hard just by being lazy. Tell me your numbers, or I'll have the Accountant deduct your wages!"

The cadre spoke in a rather harsh tone, which was quite unpleasant.

Speaking of numbers, Feng Qingyu really didn't know what number the owner of this suit got from his superiors, whether it was a number or a combination of numbers and letters. If he made up a random number that was inconsistent with their internal organization in Shenchi, he would definitely be exposed on the spot.

When Major Drake saw the tail that looked very similar to his own, he guessed something and immediately rescued Feng Qingyu and the others.

"Ciri, they are my subordinates. I was the one who asked them to come to me just now."

"Really? Well then, Mr. Drake, I have some things to do, so I'll go to the military camp first. I'll contact you if there's anything else."

The simple-minded and strong-limbed cadre of Shenchi hummed a little tune and left without any suspicion. Judging from the tone of the conversation between the major and him, there was some friendship between them. People always tend to trust people they are familiar with, but they don't know that people they are familiar with are most likely to deceive them.

After the Shenchi cadre walked a long way away, Major Drake threw his cigarette on the ground and stomped it out. His expression changed from indifference to disgust, and his blood-red eyes narrowed, making him look like a shrewd fox.

"Feng Qingyu...you always come up with something different for me. Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The major knew that his sister must have asked him for help. He had no choice, because he was the older brother.

"Major... No, brother, can you, can you help us get out of the city?"

Fifty-four Unknown Amulets

"Leave the city. How dare you ask that?"

Major Drake narrowed his beautiful almond-shaped eyes and thought for three seconds.

There is really no better way than to leave the city now. Many people want to leave the city, especially the remnants of the garrison. After the defeat, they have no fighting spirit and staying in this city is no different from waiting to die.

Anyone in Shenchi who was seen wearing military uniform would be killed without mercy.

Some guys who smelled the unusual atmosphere early on had already fled to other places before the Deep Pool attacked, successfully avoiding the war here. Now it’s too late for them to realize and escape.

"But... it's not impossible. It's not convenient to talk here, so just follow me. You're lucky there aren't many people in deep pools around here, otherwise you might end up like the person lying on the ground."

Major Drake pointed to a body lying on the ground nearby.

"The two people over there were infected with oripathy by accident. The guy in Deep Pond was worried that he would be infected, so he stabbed them to death. I heard that the deceased were once friends with the person who killed them. As expected, in the face of a major crisis, human nature is the thing that cannot stand the test."

The major limped ahead, leaning on a cane, leading the way.

Feng Qingyu had no idea what he was keeping in suspense. Although he was anxious, he couldn't urge him, so he had to follow him with Willow.

"Where are we going?"

"Go to a place where you can change your destiny."

Perhaps because he was worried that he would make mistakes if he spoke too much, the major did not say another word.

He didn't mention it, but that doesn't mean he couldn't think about the meaning of that sentence. Changing destiny... Changing destiny, there is a saying that knowledge changes destiny, knowledge...

The carrier of knowledge is books, the place where books are stored is bookshelves, and the place with many bookshelves is a library.

By using divergent thinking and thinking step by step, it is easy to come to a conclusion.

Major Drake loves reading, and the way he gave clues last time was also related to books. Could it be that he will use the same method to deliver clues this time?

I wanted to ask for details but didn't dare to. On the road, more and more Shenchi soldiers were marching in a line, making a huge noise.

Compared to Shenchi, the Reunification Movement was far behind in terms of discipline and organization. There was no overlap between the random soldiers and the trained soldiers, whether in their manners or walking movements.

The city fell at an astonishing speed.

When they were almost at the door of the library, the major took out a book from his pocket. The title of the book was "The Legend of King Drakgar".

This book is a well-known masterpiece in Victoria, telling the life of the legendary Victorian emperor Gael King. The heroic story from hundreds of years ago is still widely circulated in this land today.

Even someone like Feng Qingyu, who did not grow up in Victoria, had heard of some of the stories of the Gaelic King.

"Take this book to the library and return it for me. The rest is up to you. I can't help you more."

Feng Qingyu took the "Legend of King Dracogel" from the major's hand. The woman on the cover of the book was riding a white horse, looking heroic, with her silver hair fluttering in the wind and blue eyes as deep as the vast ocean, which seemed to be able to hold the whole world.

The legendary story of such a high-spirited young woman can indeed easily attract the attention and arouse the interest of young people.

If she lived in that era, she would definitely fall in love with the heroine in the book, King Dracogael, at first sight. Who wouldn’t love such a handsome and cool queen?

Major Drake handed the book to his sister, and it was time for him to retire.

"I'm leaving now. Remember to let me know when you leave the city safely. Next year, on the anniversary of my mother's death, I want to go with you to the family cemetery to see her."

"Thank you."

The brother and sister said goodbye at the entrance of the library. Feng Qingyu didn't even have the chance to ask him why he joined Shenchi. When they meet again in the future, maybe they will have time to get to know each other better.

After this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again.

Feng Qingyu and Willow pushed open the wooden door of the library, and were greeted by a smell of blood mixed with the smell of books. The situation on the first floor of the library was no more optimistic than the streets outside. The garrison soldiers hiding here were dead everywhere, and the number of them was almost 50-50 with the soldiers of Shenchi.

They stepped over the bodies and used flashlights to find the stairs.

The staircase is a classic Western-style spiral staircase, quite charming. If you were appreciating it without the dead bodies piled up all over the stairs, you might even sigh that it has a very old-fashioned feel.

The library is so big that it is impossible to blindly find a way out of the city. By the time you find it, the flowers will be cold. The book itself should not only be a novel about Victorian legends, but also contain other information.

"Let me see. There is a label on the spine of this book: V108. V should represent the floor number, and 108 is the shelf number. Let's go to the fifth floor first. Miss Willow, please use the communicator to contact Ms. Outcast and the others to come over, and ask them to change into Shenchi's uniforms."

"learn."

Willow took out the Rhodes Island communicator, switched to the dedicated line, entered the password "1145141919810", and waited for the call to be connected.

The one who responded was Horn, in a calm tone.

"Have you contacted Major Drake?"

"Well, the way out of the city should be at the library in Xiaoqiu County. Miss Feng and I are looking for the way. The location is bookshelf 108 on the fifth floor."

"Understood. You stay where you are. If there is any danger, you leave first and spread the news."

drop--

The horn once again took the initiative to cut off communication.

This is not a callous act, as speaking can easily be discovered, and for safety reasons, Horn's approach is correct.

Arriving on the fifth floor, Feng Qingyu and Willow groped in the dark to find bookshelf No. 108. This library was large in scale, probably much smaller than the largest library in Longmen, but it was already very luxurious compared to ordinary school libraries.

The two did not act separately. It would be best for them to act together at this time. If one of them was left alone, both of them would be in danger.

Willow pulled at the corner of Feng Qingyu's robe.

This small piece of cloth was the only bond between the two of them. She had never experienced such a tragic situation in her life.

Now that I have someone to rely on, I just want to act coquettishly for a short while.

"Miss Feng... aren't you afraid? Every time I see someone die, I get scared that I'll be the next one. So sometimes I think it's good to be a guard of honor. I don't have to go into battle and kill the enemy, facing corpses and blood."

Feng Qingyu really wanted to shake her hand back, but she had a book in one hand and a flashlight in the other, so she had no free hand.

"Faced with death and danger, fear is human instinct. Of course, I feel afraid too. But when I think about the fact that there are people waiting for me, they still need me, and there are people in Rhodes Island looking forward to my safe return, my heart is filled with courage."

In the darkness, Willow stuffed something warm into Feng Qingyu's pocket.

"This is for you as a talisman."

Fifty-five Caught Unprepared

"Amulet? I have one on me, but since it's a gift from you, Miss Willow, I must accept it."

Feng Qingyu felt something bulging in his pocket. The amulet was quite big, a big and soft ball, probably a small doll or some other ornament.

"As long as you like it..."

Willow's voice sounded quite shy, with an immediate feeling of a little girl giving a gift to someone she liked, so youthful.

If it weren't for the fact that they had to find the entrance to the secret passage, Feng Qingyu might have wanted to discuss the physical compatibility of Draco and Vaiven with Willow in the library, and let her wrap herself around his waist to practice how to make the circular muscles more sensitive and more elastic.

Now she has nothing left, and the only thing on her mind is to get everyone out of the city safely.

They climbed up the stairs and finally reached the fifth floor of the library.

The library was located in a remote area, so many people chose to hide nearby. When they reached the fifth floor, there were no dead bodies on the ground, and the smell of blood was relatively lighter.

Bookshelf No. 108 is located against the wall and is divided into a popular novel area.

The legendary stories of such figures have been beautified and artistically processed by later generations. Many of the events may not have actually happened and are likely fabricated in order to make this great man more legendary.

Classifying "The Legend of King Dracogel" here can avoid confusion with real history books and misleading people who want to learn real historical knowledge.

Feng Qingyu quickly scanned every row on the bookshelf, trying to find a book that was exactly the same as the one in his hand. There were more than a dozen rows on the bookshelf, and it wouldn't take much time to browse through them all.

This book, The Legend of King Dracogael, is placed on the top shelf. Even if you step on the moving stairs with rollers, it is still difficult to reach it because the bookshelves are too high.

"If you put it that high, no one who sees it will be too eager to borrow it. If I were shorter, I wouldn't be able to reach it at all."

Just after he finished complaining, Feng Qingyu finally understood the purpose of placing this book in such a high position.

The switch of the secret passage is set in a place that is difficult to find so that others will not easily discover it. Otherwise, there is no need for the secret passage to exist.

"Miss Willow, please wait down there. I will find the entrance to the secret passage soon."

"Ok."

Willow held onto the wheeled ladder and pressed her legs together, squeezing them tightly. There was a little air leakage underneath, and if she didn't do that, she would be wet and cold, like soaking in icy lake water.

She didn't have any tissues with her, so she wouldn't feel so uncomfortable if she had.

Feng Qingyu moved the books on the bookshelf one by one, placed them in empty spaces nearby that could bear their weight, and knocked on the bookshelf with his hands.

Places with mechanisms are usually hollow, and hearing unusual noises proves that there is something there.

After a while of knocking, Feng Qingyu touched a hollow wooden board in a corner on the right side of the bookshelf. It was only the size of a light novel.

"found it."

She pressed the board down and heard a mechanical click. Bookshelves No. 109 and No. 110 moved to the left and right like two doors, revealing an entrance the size of a normal door.

Inside the entrance is a long row of stairs that lead down to an unknown place.

"Wow, there really is a secret passage. Now I'll give this book to you..."

When Feng Qingyu was stuffing the book into the bookshelf, his hand accidentally slipped and a bunch of keys fell out of the book. One of them looked like a car key, and the purpose of the other one was unknown.

There was a small rectangle hollowed out in the middle of the "Legend of King Drakegael" given by Major Drake, and the car keys were stuffed in the hollowed-out space.

If I guessed correctly, there was a car parked at the exit of the secret passage. That car could quickly leave Xiaoqiu County and help them get to a safe place.

The county adjacent to Xiaoqiu County is Peninsula County. As long as they leave Xiaoqiu County and contact Rhodes Island's office in Peninsula County and ask them to send out an aircraft, they can get back to Rhodes Island, which is still in Lungmen, as quickly as possible.

"And the car keys. The major has even prepared these."

Feng Qingyu felt touched.
