The seventh floor is the seventh floor as they know it, which is the top floor of the library that everyone knows.
When we got to the seventh floor, there was no staircase leading to the eighth floor as described in the book.
Looking around, apart from seven or eight rows of bookshelves on the left, there weren't many other bookshelves or books.
Simply put, apart from the left side, the entire seventh floor is spacious and open, like a dance studio.
What caught Xu Fan's eye was the bookshelves on the left, where some books were scattered around without being properly organized.
It's like someone read it and then just threw it anywhere.
But this is a library; shouldn't the librarian tidy it up regularly?
Xu Fan subconsciously walked towards the books, with Chen Yuanyuan following beside him, muttering, "These people who read books are really annoying, just throwing them here carelessly after they're done."
Xu Fan nodded, but he was extremely puzzled.
Something felt off, and just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
Crunch!Crunch!
Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan looked over at the same time and realized that the window on the seventh floor had been blown open by the wind, probably because it wasn't closed properly to begin with.
Chen Yuanyuan walked over and said, "There are really very few people in the Cobino Library, whether they are reading or managing the books. It rains so much in Gran City, what if the rain blows in with the windows open?"
Xu Fan finally realized what was wrong and walked over, saying, "Didn't you notice that the seventh floor is much cleaner than the downstairs?"
Chen Yuanyuan pointed to the pile of books and said, "You call this clean?"
Xu Fan shook his head and said, "I meant clean, not tidy."
Chen Yuanyuan stared at Xu Fan and asked, "Is there a difference?"
Then, as if realizing something, she said, "Right, usually the windows on the seventh floor are always open, so there's bound to be a lot of dust. Most importantly, there's not a single book on the sixth floor, but there's still dust on the ground. So why is there nothing on the seventh floor, like..."
"Like someone just wiped it not long ago, right?" Xu Fan asked.
Chen Yuanyuan nodded and said, "That's right. But..."
Xu Fan glanced out the window; from this angle, he could just see the neck of the guitar-shaped building.
Xu Fan suddenly frowned, returned to the rather messy stack of books, casually flipped through them, and then said, "These books are all about film and television directing."
Chen Yuanyuan asked, "Is there anything strange?"
Xu Fan said, "I found a bunch of books downstairs that weren't categorized. They were all of the same type. Maybe the person reading them is a film enthusiast, or a director or actor."
Chen Yuanyuan nodded, then looked up at the ceiling and said, "Do you think there really is an eighth floor?"
Xu Fan shook his head and said, "Maybe we're overthinking it."
Chen Yuanyuan said, "But I believe the story that Lingling told me."
"I believe it too."
Although Xia Ziling's living environment shaped her personality, Xu Fan still believed what she said.
Besides, this story was only told by Xia Ziling to Chen Yuanyuan, so how could it be false?
Therefore, the secret of that space capsule must be true.
But where is the space capsule?
If the space capsule is real, then where is the administrator who was supposed to see Xia Ziling? Why did I see a middle-aged man and a young girl downstairs?
Suddenly, Xu Fan remembered the card the middle-aged man had given him, and quickly took it out and examined it carefully.
Chen Yuanyuan asked curiously, "What is this?"
Xu Fan said, "The building manager downstairs gave it to me." Then, thinking about this, Xu Fan added, "Maybe not."
After saying that, he said, "Go downstairs."
Before Chen Yuanyuan could react, Xu Fan had already started walking downstairs, and she naturally followed suit.
A tapping sound came from the stairwell.
Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan quickly ran from the seventh floor to the first floor.
Xu Fan looked towards the bar counter, where the computer was still playing the same PUBG game.
The character in the game is lying motionless on the ground; the poison circle is about to close in.
However, her owner has disappeared.
Xu Fan looked into the lobby. There was still steam rising from the cup of tea, just like the tea that Brother Gang had brewed again. But where had the middle-aged man who was drinking the tea gone?
Chen Yuanyuan asked curiously, "Did you discover something?"
Xu Fan looked up at the building, then at the floor, and then at the card in his hand, and said, "Maybe there really is an eighth floor."
Chen Yuanyuan said, "But we've already gone up to the rooftop, and the rooftop is the seventh floor, it's not..."
At this point, her expression suddenly changed, and she said in surprise, "You mean..."
"Eight is just a number; the floor number might be downstairs."
Chen Yuanyuan said, "In other words, the space capsule laboratory that Lingling mentioned is very likely right under our feet. Let's find it quickly."
Xu Fan looked at the card in his hand and said, "Perhaps we can wait."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fan subconsciously walked towards the door, where a woman walked in.
The high heels clattered on the floor, making a very jarring sound.

"Isn't Chen studying anymore?"
The woman was dressed very fashionably, and her red high heels were quite eye-catching.
Chen Yuanyuan looked at the woman and said, "Yes."
The woman looked at Xu Fan and then asked curiously, "Is this student also here to read?"
Xu Fan said, "I heard that the library has a basement level, and I'd like to see the books inside."
puff!
The woman couldn't help but laugh, covering her mouth with her hand as she said, "You're joking, classmate. This library doesn't have a basement level of books, but there are definitely some in the underground parking lot."
Chen Yuanyuan also asked, "Teacher, you..."
The woman interrupted Chen Yuanyuan, saying, "I know what you're looking for, but I've really never heard of any of those things you're talking about, like a space capsule or an eighth floor."
Chen Yuanyuan's eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "Teacher, I didn't say that, did I?"
"what!"
The woman paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Didn't you say that? Maybe I remembered wrong."
Chen Yuanyuan said, "But I am indeed looking up this information. It seems that you know about it, teacher. Could you tell me?"
The woman frowned, thought for a moment, and then shook her head, saying, "I really don't know."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the bar, muttering to herself, "Who opened the game for me again?"
As she spoke, she casually closed the game and glanced at the bar.
She was relieved to find the bar counter clean, but just then, her gaze fell on the card in Xu Fan's hand, and she asked, "Excuse me, where did you get this card?"
Xu Fan picked up the card in his hand and said, "A gentleman just gave it to me."
The woman frowned for a moment before saying, "Come with me."
After saying this, the woman walked away into the distance.
Xu Fan quickly followed behind, while Chen Yuanyuan said from the side, "This is the librarian who brings me meals every time. She is also a teacher at Niujin University."
Xu Fan nodded, and the two followed the woman into the fire escape staircase.
Although they were curious, neither of them spoke and they followed quietly.
After entering the fire escape, she went down the stairs. Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan exchanged a glance, it seemed that their guess was correct, but neither of them expected it to go so smoothly.
As Xu Fan followed them downstairs, he was filled with doubt.
Who is that middle-aged man?
Why would you give yourself a card?
Why would this professor from Niujin University become a professor at the Cobino Library, and why would he implicitly acknowledge the existence of the basement upon seeing that card?
Or rather, the existence of the eighth floor as recorded in that book.
Xu Fan didn't count how many times the stairs went up and down, but he was certain there was more than one floor.
After walking to the bottom, the female teacher casually glanced at Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan and said, "This is it. Go in yourselves."
Before Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan could react after she finished speaking, the woman turned around and went up the stairs again without looking back.
Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan looked at each other in bewilderment. In front of them was a silver iron door with a swipe button, which was probably where they would swipe their cards.
Xu Fan didn't hesitate, swiped his card, and the door opened.
As I pushed open the door, a woman's warm reminder came from behind me: "It's best not to stay too long."
After saying that, the woman disappeared at the top of the stairs, and Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan walked into the iron gate.
Bang!
The door slammed shut, and Chen Yuanyuan was so startled that she quickly looked back.
The lights in the room suddenly turned on.
In an instant, the blinding light made both of them instinctively shield their eyes with their hands, and it took them a moment to regain some of their vision.
Only then did he begin to carefully examine the room.
Looking around at the rows and rows of bookshelves, Chen Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "This isn't a laboratory!"
Xu Fan nodded and said, "Maybe we were wrong from the start. The lab isn't here. There should be some information we need here, but the key question is how that man knew I was looking for this."
Chen Yuanyuan said, "Don't worry, let's see if we can find any clues."
The two stopped talking. Since there were rows of bookshelves, what they wanted to know must be in the books.
