The sky over the town of Cobino began to turn gray again.
A high-end extended sedan pulled up outside the library, and Frank got out, wearing a brand-new suit.
He looked up at the beautiful library, straightened his suit and tie, and then walked into the library.
Upon seeing the woman, Frank smiled and said, "How have you been, Professor Fang?"
When Ms. Fang saw Frank, she stood up and said, "Frank, are you here to see your teacher? Or are you here to borrow a book?"
Frank said, "I'm here to find someone."
Teacher Fang was taken aback for a moment, then said, "So they are your friends. Have a seat, they are reading, they'll be here in a bit."
Frank nodded and sat down on the sofa in the lobby. The woman said, "This tea was just brewed. Drink it yourself."
After saying that, she sat in front of the computer, moved the mouse around, and finally clicked on the PUBG game, complaining, "I'll try this game too, and see how fun it really is."
Time flies, and a long time has passed. The tea in the Frank teacup has gone from cool to hot, and then back to cool again.
Unable to wait any longer, he stood up and said, "Teacher Fang, my friend is reading somewhere. I need to go and see him; it's been so long."
Teacher Fang looked up and said, "Wait a little longer."
After speaking, he looked at the computer, perhaps drawn in by the game.
The room on that floor wasn't particularly large; it looked like there were rows and rows of books, but there weren't many books.
However, it is still difficult to find clues in these books.
To Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan's surprise, all the books here were about space capsules, the construction of the town of Cobino, and the like.
In other words, someone deliberately moved these books here and prevented people from viewing them, which is why Chen Yuanyuan has not been able to find any clues during this period of time.
This fueled Xu Fan's curiosity about the middle-aged man. The two continued searching and examining the man without stopping for a moment. After an unknown amount of time, they finally finished their general search.
I'm exhausted.
Xu Fan said, "Let's organize the clues. I'll start by saying that I have three main points here."
Chen Yuanyuan looked at Xu Fan seriously, and Xu Fan said: "First, the town of Cobino was built 25 years ago; second, the town of Cobino has several folk song events every year, and they have always been very popular, but starting this year, suddenly no one comes."
Third, all the buildings in the town of Copinino, except for that painting, are from "The Musical Rhythm of Copinino." I hadn't noticed this before; I only discovered it just now while looking through the details of the Copinino buildings.
After hearing Xu Fan's words, Chen Yuanyuan nodded and said, "I'll also say what I discovered, and then we'll understand the issues involved."
I've researched all the books about space capsules. First, a space capsule is a zero-gravity experiment in a vacuum-like environment, but that doesn't match what Lingling said. I checked relevant information, and what Lingling was referring to is probably one of the physical fitness simulation training programs in astronaut training.
Xu Fan frowned slightly upon hearing this, but remained silent, listening attentively as Chen Yuanyuan continued.
She said, "Secondly, many years ago, a Grand Kingdom astronaut tragically passed away in outer space. That astronaut was the former director of the Cobino Library. Thirdly, and most importantly, on the day Lingling came to the Cobino Library, the Grand Kingdom Space Agency published a publication called 'The Musical Rhythms of Cobino II.' The book is here. I read it; the contents..."
At this point, Chen Yuanyuan paused for a moment, then continued, "One of the points in the text is that Cobino's music never relied on instruments, but on people. I don't know what that means. Maybe it means people play the instruments, or maybe..."
Chen Yuanyuan didn't finish her sentence, but Xu Fan understood its meaning: perhaps people are musical instruments.
So, was everything Xia Ziling experienced just a performance, or perhaps the work of some perverted musician?
Thinking of this, Xu Fan shook his head, feeling that he had gone a bit too far. He then said, "We have basically completed all the clues now. Let's organize them. The most important of these clues is still the book 'Cobino's Musical Rhythms.' Perhaps we should study this book carefully."
Chen Yuanyuan said, "I know, there's also this book, Music Rhythm II."
Xu Fan said, "Built twenty-five years ago, it has always been prosperous, but this year it has suddenly become deserted. This is definitely unusual. In other words, there must be something unknown about this town that we need to uncover. We must find the truth. I don't know where she is now, but I'm sure..."
Just as I finished speaking, I heard a "ding".
Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan were startled and subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound—the door.
Chen Yuanyuan was shocked and said, "Oh right, the teacher just told us not to stay too long."
After saying that, Chen Yuanyuan ran to the door and subconsciously tried to open it, but found that the door was locked and could not be opened.
Just then, a slight warmth suddenly emanated from the room, and Chen Yuanyuan asked cautiously, "Have you noticed that the room has suddenly become very hot?"
Xu Fan naturally sensed it too, and said, "Perhaps it's because this place is sealed."
Chen Yuanyuan said "Oh," and then suddenly said, "I feel something's wrong. It's getting hotter and hotter. We need to think of something quickly; we have to get out."
The heat was getting hotter and hotter, and Xu Fan knew he had to speed up. He shouted twice, but no one answered.
They shook the iron gate vigorously, but it didn't budge.
Xu Fan tried to open the door with the card, but it was useless.
Meanwhile, Frank paced anxiously in the hall, but there was still no news. He asked Teacher Fang several times, but there was still no answer.
Just when he couldn't wait any longer, a rapid, buzzing vibration sounded.
He felt around and realized it wasn't his phone.
Upon closer listening, I realized it was a cell phone in a small box on the bar.
Frank looked at his phone and frowned. Wasn't this Xu Fan's?
He thought about it for a moment, then picked it up and took a look.
Upon seeing this, Frank almost jumped up and quickly went over to grab Teacher Fang's arm, saying, "Teacher Fang, something terrible has happened! Please take me to my friend!"

===Chapter 352 Something terrible has happened===
"I'm sorry, I can't."
Frank's voice was calm as he answered, and he didn't even look up when he said it, his eyes fixed on the game on the computer.
She spoke as if it were the simplest thing in the world, and after saying that, she fell silent.
Frank realized he couldn't pull Teacher Fang along, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "Then I'll go find her myself."
He looked up and saw that the building had seven floors in total, so it shouldn't be hard to find.
Without waiting for Teacher Fang to speak, he rushed into the reading room on the first floor.
On the other side, Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan were both covered in sweat.
The temperature in the room was rising steadily, but it wasn't the dry heat of a burning fire; rather, it was an uncontrollable, oppressive heat.
Xu Fan tried many times, but the door was definitely not going to open.
The two looked at each other, speechless, and then went their separate ways, searching for other exits in the library. There must be a reason why the temperature had suddenly risen.
Xu Fan couldn't help but take off his coat, which relieved the discomfort slightly.
But Chen Yuanyuan could only endure it.
Sweat soaked his clothes and slid down his face.
Crunch!
Just as the two of them were sweating profusely, a voice suddenly came. Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw that the door had opened.
A middle-aged man walked in; Xu Fan recognized him.
The middle-aged man stood at the door, showing no intention of coming in.
Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan naturally wouldn't wait idly, so they quickly went out.
The middle-aged man asked, "Did you find it?"
This question was directed at Xu Fan, but his gaze remained fixed on Chen Yuanyuan.
I'm not sure if the phrase "found" refers to a person or information.
Regardless of the question, Xu Fan nodded and said, "I have fulfilled my mission."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's good."
After saying that, he added, "It's very hot inside because the radiator in the library's basement broke."
Xu Fan felt that this reason was not good, but it was clear that the other party meant that this reason was sufficient.
Chen Yuanyuan looked at the middle-aged man with a puzzled expression.
The middle-aged man then said, "We're repairing it. Once we find you, you can leave."
Xu Fan nodded, thanked him, and prepared to leave.
Chen Yuanyuan suddenly stopped and looked at the middle-aged man, saying, "Have we met before?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Perhaps."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he closed the library door and then went upstairs.
Xu Fan then asked, "Why did you give me the card and bring me here?"
The middle-aged man stared at Xu Fan and asked, "Weren't you looking for information?"
Xu Fan asked, "The key question is, how did you know that?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "It seems that people come here for only a few reasons: some want to read books seriously, some want to find someone like you, or to find so-called answers."
As he said this, the three of them had already reached the first floor. The middle-aged man ignored them and walked straight ahead.
Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan looked at each other. Although the process was somewhat frustrating, at least the result was not as dangerous as they had imagined.
However, this also confirms that this place is indeed not simple.
At the very least, it's definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface as a library.
Just as the two were about to leave, an anxious voice suddenly came.
"Oh my goodness, Mr. Xu, we've finally found you! What brings you here?"
Frank's voice went from anxious to puzzled. Clearly, Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan were soaked in sweat and looked rather disheveled.
Especially Chen Yuanyuan, whose clothes were soaked with sweat and clung to her skin, looked even more beautiful and striking.
Xu Fan shook his head and said, "It's a long story."
Frank slapped his forehead and said, "Mr. Xu, it seems you're in trouble?"
Xu Fan frowned, just as Frank handed him a cell phone.
Upon closer inspection, Xu Fan was startled.
Looking at Frank with a puzzled expression, after all, this was his own phone. He subconsciously opened it, and a text message remained quietly on the screen.
"Mr. Xu, something's happened! Come to the hospital immediately, Miss Zilu is missing!"
