Chapter 273: Just grab it
Those thin threads were scattered on the ground like spider silk, jumping constantly.

Lu Yao turned the sword in his hand and pointed at the thin threads, "These things were just stuck to your back. Of course, it is also possible that they have drilled into your back."

"Do you feel anything behind you?" Lu Yao looked at Tan Yan, motioning her to check her condition.

Tan Yan was busy feeling around behind her. "I don't feel any pain, and there's nothing strange. It should just be stuck to my clothes."

"That's good. You move aside and I'll handle it." Lu Yao nodded and motioned for Tan Yan to move aside.

Those spider-silk-like threads were obviously "alive" and they had not yet completely lost their activity. Lu Yao could not guarantee whether they would stick to anyone again.

Lu Yao walked over and looked at the thin line on the ground, and felt a sharp pain on his forehead again.

It was a sign that some memory was trying to awaken. Lu Yao pressed his forehead with one hand, but could not remember anything.

At the same time, the thin wire on the ground began to move.

They jumped up from the ground at an extremely fast speed and headed towards Lu Yao.

Having lost one puppet, they are eager to find the next target.

And this target obviously changed from Tan Yan to Lu Yao.

The thin lines were rapidly approaching Lu Yao, and Lu Yao swung the sword in his hand to cut at those thin lines.

The long sword's attack range is limited, but those thin lines can penetrate any hole.

Soon, Lu Yao's ankle was the first to be entangled.

Those fine threads can take root directly into the skin the moment they touch it, leaving no trace.

Lu Yao felt a sharp pain and subconsciously swung his sword downwards.

"Lu Yao, watch out for your back!" Tan Yan suddenly spoke.

She watched as the thin lines went around Lu Yao's back, clearly intending to attack from behind and control Lu Yao.
The moment her fingertips were cut by the thin thread and dark red blood gushed out, Lu Yao's body seemed to have a subconscious reaction. She used the fingertips that were oozing blood to draw directly on her arm.

Soon, a strange pattern appeared on Lu Yao's arm.

Although Lu Yao didn't remember what it was, he felt it was very familiar the moment he saw it.

At the same time, the thin thread that was originally wrapped around Lu Yao hurriedly retreated from Lu Yao the moment the pattern appeared.

Watching the thin line quickly retract into the teaching building, Lu Yao touched the pattern on his arm and his eyes darkened.

Ten minutes later, Lu Yao and Tan Yan met up with a few people.

"Why did it take so long? Did something happen?" Chi Rui looked at Lu Yao and asked subconsciously.

Lu Yao nodded, "I ran into a little trouble."

Because Lu Yao only said it was a minor inconvenience, the others did not ask for details.

The archives room is on the top floor of the office building. During the day, there are many employees coming and going in the building. It is obviously not easy to go to the archives room for no reason.

It's only noon now, and with the lunch break, the flow of people here is even greater.

The others wanted to wait until nightfall before going in, but Lu Yao didn't want to wait any longer.

She noticed the weirdness of this place. Before, she could control a person just by thinking like a spider thread. She couldn't predict what other dangers she would face next.

Looking at the wide-open door of the office building in front of him, Lu Yao decided to find a way to sneak in.

"I thought you would choose to just force your way in." After hearing Lu Yao's plan, Chi Rui clicked his tongue twice.

It was because he had lost his memory. Otherwise, he had no doubt that Lu Yao would choose to break in directly.

That's Master Lu's style.

Lu Yao glanced at Chi Rui and didn't say that he really wanted to break in.

Five people were standing downstairs of the office building, two employees and three students. Even at this time, such a combination was conspicuous enough.

Tan Yan was still thinking about whether she should disguise herself, but she didn't expect Lu Yao to have already stepped in.

The office building was equipped with an elevator, and the five people took the elevator directly to the top floor. Chi Rui pointed to the innermost office with familiarity, "The archives room is right there."

Several people walked straight over without hesitation.

Just as they approached, they heard a conversation coming from the other side.

Someone came out of the archives room.

It was a tall figure with a serious expression on his face, as if he was about to participate in an academic debate.

Tan Yan took a quick glance and recognized the man.

The director of the teaching department, normally he shouldn't be here at this time.

"Shall we hide first?" Zheng Xiaoxiao poked her head out from behind Lu Yao.

"It's too late, he has already discovered us." Lu Yao raised his hand and patted Zheng Xiaoxiao's head, signaling her not to panic.

At the same time, the figure on the opposite side had already walked over.

He held a key in his hand, which obviously belonged to the archive room behind him.

The archives room is just opposite and the key is within reach.

Lu Yao felt that there was no need to say anything more.

Just grab it and it's over.

She thought so and did the same.

The man who had just walked out of the archive room was kicked to the ground before he even figured out what was going on.

He watched as a figure flashed past him like a shadow and snatched the key from his hand.

Before he could call for help, someone covered his mouth and he couldn't make a sound.

Qing Yunting was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and knocked the man unconscious almost the moment he tried to resist.

He dragged the man to the stairwell and locked the door behind him.

When I came to my senses, Lu Yao had already walked to the door of the archive room with the key.

The moment the archive room was opened, a strong smell as if something was moldy came with it.

Lu Yao quickly held his breath, but even so he still almost choked.

As for the other people who came in later, except Chi Rui who was well prepared, the others were choked and started coughing as expected.

"What's going on here? Why does it smell so pungent?" Even though Zheng Xiaoxiao covered her nose, she still couldn't help but speak.

"Maybe something inside is rotten." Qin Yan took a deep breath and continued to move forward.

At this time, Lu Yao had already walked to the bookshelf. She swept her eyes over the full file bags piled on it and picked up one at random.

The name on the file bag was unclear and was manually coded first.

"That's right. Unless you find your share, everything you see will be blurry." Chi Rui explained behind him.

"Since we're here, let's start looking." Tan Yan said as she walked over and started searching.

Except Chi Rui, all five people need to find their own file.

Therefore, for a while, the only sound in the entire archive room was the sound of rummaging.

"I'll go and keep an eye on the door for you." Chi Rui waved his hand. He couldn't help much now, so he could only help them keep an eye on the movements around them.

There is a lot of information in the archives. Although it is not a very large school, it seems to have countless archival materials.

Two hours later, Lu Yao still hadn't found his share.

Until Chi Rui's reminder came from outside the door.

He said, “Someone is coming.”
