Taking a step back, Liebrari even suspected the "Ryudo Hall Master, Shiiki Ruri", because now thinking back, it was too coincidental that this little sister came to visit the Spiral Underground Library today, and not long after she left, something happened in "Library No. 37".
——(It just so happens that the information about the "An Rabbit Clan" is in "Bookstore No. 37", Liuli-chan... please, please don't let it be you...)
·
There is a reason why Lebrary doesn't want Shiiki Ruri to become a suspect.
Shiiki Ruri's master, the previous "Ryudo Master", is actually a close friend of Lebrary.
Therefore, for Librari, Shiiki Ruri is like the continuation of a close friend, and he subconsciously hopes that the other party will have a good future.
While thinking about these things, Librari found a place nearby to sit down.
He controlled the tentacles to massage his tense shoulders, allowing his body and mind to relax.
Librari told himself not to think of things in a negative way. Since the establishment of Teruya Ryuque, there has never been a serious rebellion, and he believed that this time would be no exception.
After giving himself this inner massage, Librari's tense mood finally relaxed a little.
If he continued to be so suspicious, he wouldn't know how to communicate with Lizadman.
However, just when Librari finally relaxed a little, a figure that should not have appeared appeared in the crucial "Library No. 37".
·
·
(Stupid Loli: Oh my, oh my~ I’m finally in~ Jiang Yan, your little head really is Lin Guang~)
Inside Library No. 37, a young man just flashed out from the wasp's shadow.
The boy's location of flashing was carefully considered. He did not appear directly on the ground, but squatted on the top of the bookshelf.
The reason why Jiang Ran chose such a strange place was because he had just seen through mind reading what Curator Librari understood about the dust on the ground.
Since this meticulous curator was so satisfied with the flawless dust on the ground, Jiang Ran naturally would not ruin his beauty and would never leave any traces that would let the other party realize that someone had entered Library No. 37.
Then, Jiang Ran transformed into a strange animal and climbed across the bookshelves in the library. While ensuring that his feet did not touch the ground, he checked various materials on the bookshelves one by one until he found the volume of top-secret intelligence with "Dark Rabbit Clan" written on the cover.
·
When Jiang Ran saw the name "Dark Rabbit Clan", his hands trembled slightly.
He climbed to the top of the bookshelf, unfolded the parchment scroll, and began to quickly browse the contents of the scroll with the help of his own glowing magic stone.
Jiang Ran saw that the information in the scroll was very detailed, covering everything from the racial origin of the Dark Rabbit clan to their current secluded geographical location. It was exactly what he wanted!
However, in order to avoid being discovered by "Zhao Ye Liu Que", Jiang Ran did not plan to take the scroll away, but wanted to read all the contents here and memorize them in his mind.
The first thing Jiang Ran began to memorize was the history of the Dark Rabbit Clan. The scroll stated that the Dark Rabbit Clan and the Rabbit People were of the same clan and ancestor. The reason why the Dark Rabbit Clan separated from the Rabbit People family was mainly because the "racial characteristics" of this part of their people were not accepted by the general Rabbit People.
The vast majority of the Rabbit People were naturally skilled in collecting herbs and making medicine, and most of those who awakened were into combat professions related to "Shamanism". However, since some time ago, there was a small group of Rabbit People who were born with black and gray hair. Their ears were not erected like those of other Rabbit People, but instead drooped slightly, making them quite conspicuous in the tribe.
These unique rabbits are called dark rabbits or black rabbits by the tribe. There is no discrimination in the meaning, it is just a name.
However, the Dark Rabbits are not only different from ordinary Rabbit People in appearance. Not only are they not good at making medicine to save people, but they are also always hurting and harming people!
The leader of the rabbit tribe gradually discovered the evil nature of the dark rabbits. He found crystals and identified the professions of the dark rabbits. He found that these dark rabbits had awakened to the combat profession of "evil cursers".
Most combat professions do not distinguish between good and evil, and the Rabbit Chief does not want to reject the Dark Rabbits just because of the different types of combat professions.
However, the Dark Rabbits, who were aggressive by nature, did not appreciate the tolerance of the Rabbit Chief. Instead, they became more and more arrogant. In the end, the matter became more and more serious, resulting in all the Dark Rabbits being expelled from the Rabbit Clan.
After being expelled, the Dark Rabbits formed a new race called the Dark Rabbit Clan. They began to wander around from the Farnas Empire, and went to the Kingdom of West and the Chiefdom of Vannia, but were unable to take root for a long time.
Later, the Dark Rabbit Clan fell out with the Werewolf Clan and was forced to leave their homeland again, living in seclusion in an unknown place, and never appeared in front of the world again.
However, this was only the case for most people. With the intelligence network of "Zhao Ye Liu Que" throughout the Human Alliance, the hidden place of the Dark Rabbit clan was eventually found by them.
9.162 - Escape
Through investigation, "Zhao Ye Liuque" grasped the current situation of the Dark Rabbit clan and the combat profession characteristics.
The parchment scroll states that the Dark Rabbit clan lives in seclusion from the world, and their clan system is a matriarchal society that is rare in the world today.
Although the Dark Rabbits are brave and aggressive, under the leadership of the Dark Rabbit Queen, they are united in their ruthlessness and will never harm members of their own race.
As for the Dark Rabbits' combat professions, the "Evil Curse Master" profession system can be said to be standing in opposition to the "Shaman" system.
In the Prison Star world, the Shaman's professional system is generally characterized by medicine making, buff support, and abnormal status treatment.
The "Evil Curse Master" is just the opposite. He is good at inflicting various negative effects on the enemy and can also create special poisons with strange effects.
Relying on this special ability, the Dark Rabbit Clan can still gain a place in the Prison Star World even if they are expelled by the Rabbit People. Whether it is the righteous or evil path, there are places where their abilities are needed.
However, just as the prospects of the Dark Rabbit Clan began to flourish, the "Dark Rabbit Queen Wusuoqi" came into conflict with the ancestors of the Werewolf Clan, and the conflict intensified, eventually forcing the Dark Rabbit Clan to relocate once again to avoid being exterminated by the powerful Werewolf Clan.
Through investigation, "Zhao Ye Liuque" discovered that the place where the Dark Rabbit Clan is currently hiding is located at the junction of the Mana Republic and the Vanya Chiefdom. The terrain in that area is complex and rugged, and it is sparsely populated. Even if a lot of manpower and material resources are spent, it is difficult to find these cunning guys who have three burrows.

[Note: The above image is a partial map of the Prison Star world that is currently available to the public.]
After reading this information about the Dark Rabbit Clan, Jiang Ran immediately became confused because there were some "illogical" things in it.
Just looking at this information, Jiang Ran did not think that such information was important enough to be treated as "top secret". The content was nothing more than the history of the Dark Rabbit clan, racial characteristics, living place, etc.
The Dark Rabbit Clan wants to keep their place of residence secret; that is their own business and has nothing to do with "Zhao Ye Liu Que". And judging from the inner thoughts of Director Librari that Jiang Ran saw, the information about the Dark Rabbit Clan was not "top secret" from the beginning.
Thinking of this, the most crucial "logic" in the whole thing was about to emerge. Jiang Ran remembered very clearly that in the inner thoughts of Director Librari, it was very clearly mentioned that the information about the Dark Rabbit Clan was upgraded to "Level 1 Secret" in a later adjustment.
So, what does Teruya Ryuque’s move mean?
This meant that for Teruya Ryuque, the information and residence of the An Rabbit clan suddenly became a secret that could not be known by other forces.
In other words, from a certain moment on, a certain form of "community of interests" had been formed between the Antu clan and "Zhu Ye Liuque".
·
·
Jiang Ran had no evidence, only speculation.
His current thinking is that the secret intelligence organization "Zhaoye Liuque" is very likely the only intelligence agency in the current Prison Star world that knows the residence of the Dark Rabbit clan.
By hiding the residence and related information for the Antu clan, "Zhu Ye Liuque" may have earned a considerable income, or may have exchanged it for other forms of benefits. In short, the fact that they reached a cooperative relationship is undeniable.
Moreover, Jiang Ran also believed that the cooperative relationship between "Zhao Ye Liu Que" and the Dark Rabbit clan should be extremely secretive. Even within "Zhao Ye Liu Que", only a few people knew about it... In fact, it was very likely that only the head of "Zhao Ye Liu Que" knew about it.
Only in this way can we explain why only the head master can directly read the "top secret" information. The fear is that a "traitor" like the cat-man girl Shiiki Ruri will appear and inadvertently "sell out" the big client.
·
After sorting it out like this, Jiang Ran straightened out his logic and his mind became much clearer.
He didn't care what would happen to the feud between the Dark Rabbit Clan, Teruya Ryuque, and the werewolf Clan. It had nothing to do with him, at least not for the time being.
For Jiang Ran, it was enough for him to remember the relevant information about the Dark Rabbit Clan and the most important thing, their "current residence".
As long as he knew where to find the Dark Rabbit Clan, Jiang Ran would be able to continue digging out more information about the 'Dark Rabbit Queen Wu Saoqi' and the Dark Rabbit Clan, thereby helping him decide how to deal with the damn 'Ancestral Wolf Conviction Curse'.
(Okay... time to get out of here...)
Jiang Ran rerolled the parchment scroll of the Dark Rabbit Clan and put it back in its place, then looked at the tightly closed library door and frowned.
(Stupid Loli: Oh no, it’s over! The door is locked, how are we going to get out?)
The situation was just as the stupid loli complained, Jiang Ran couldn't just go back.
Although it is definitely possible for him to break through the door with his strength, but since he has already been lurking for this long, it would be a pity to let the people of "Zhaoye Liuque" realize the truth of the invasion at the last step.
Jiang Ran squatted on top of the bookshelf without saying a word, activated the "all-round vision" to observe the overall situation, and then after thinking for ten minutes, he finally came up with an idea.
·
Jiang Ran's retreat plan was very simple. To use high EQ terms, it could be called a return to basics, but to use low EQ terms, it was so crude that it couldn't even be called a "plan."
Simply put, Jiang Ran's strategy is to dig a hole and escape, but since he is Jiang Ran, it can't be that simple.
In order to execute this retreat operation perfectly, Jiang Ran first used the map function of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye to confirm his current position, ensuring that when he dug a hole out, he would not directly dig into the base camp of "Zhao Ye Liuque" or places like the women's bathhouse.
Secondly, Jiang Ran adopted the strategy of "digging and filling" in digging holes. He even specially summoned a black shadow clone to stay in the library and use this black shadow clone to repair the dug-up walls in the library.
When the duration of the black shadow clone is exhausted, there will be no trace of Jiang Ran left in the library.
In this case, unless the people of "Zhao Ye Liu Que" carefully checked every inch of the place, they would most likely not discover what Jiang Ran had done.
Just like that, relying on his fifth-level physical fitness, Jiang Ran used only a short dagger he carried with him to dig a passage leading to the ground from the inside of the library, and finally successfully escaped.
·
Jiang Ran felt refreshed after breathing in the fresh air after a long time.
He had been wandering around like a headless fly for some time, but now he finally had a destination to go to.
However, Jiang Ran did not plan to go directly to the hidden residence of the Dark Rabbit Clan for the time being. For him, there was another more urgent matter that needed to be dealt with first.
This matter is the "confession death countdown" with only 9 days left.
9.163 - What makes libraries special
The instigator of the disturbance has already fled, but in the Spiral Underground Library, Director Lebrary is still discussing the invasion with Guard Captain Lizadman without knowing anything about it.
In this library scene filled with books and bookshelves, the sturdy octopus man and the burly lizard half-dragon man just standing there was a strange sight enough, but for the people of "Teruya Ryuque", it was nothing.
Because, among the members of the "Teruya Ryujaku" organization, the proportion of sub-humans has already accounted for more than half, and such scenes are common for them.
Librari told Lizadman his thoughts. After listening to him, Lizadman also agreed with the inference that "there might be a traitor". Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how this "Spiral Underground Library" that should not be known to outsiders was exposed.
The "Spiral Underground Library" is the information storage center that "Zhu Ye Liu Que" is proud of. It has a very special "feature", that is, apart from the luminous magic stones used for lighting, there are no facilities or equipment related to magic.
At first glance, this "feature" seems to be nothing to brag about, as any poor family can do this. However, it is this seemingly "easy" feature that truly makes the "Spiral Underground Library" so secretive.
·
In the Prison Star world, it is a consensus that the more precious items are stored, the more heavily guarded the place is.
Facilities that store precious items often work in two directions: the confidentiality of the facility itself and the devices to resist and detect foreign invasions.
The founder of "Zhaoye Liuque" summed up these two rules a long time ago, and then took advantage of the common characteristics of these facilities. He used props that could sense magic power to find all the facilities one by one and completed the invasion.
Relying on this method of cunning and plundering, "Zhaoye Liuque" eventually became the top intelligence agency in the Prison Star World. As an intelligence agency, they eventually had to face the problem of intelligence storage.
In order to prevent the information he collected with great effort from being used to help others, the founder of "Teruya Ryujaku" thought carefully for a long time about how to store information.
He finally concluded that there is no impenetrable defense in the world, and only by truly and thoroughly hiding the intelligence storage facilities can the collected intelligence be ensured not to be leaked.
In order to perfectly conceal his own intelligence facilities, the founder of "Teruya Ryuque" boldly proposed an almost absurd plan:
The intelligence facilities of "Teruya Ryujaku" will not be equipped with any defensive or detection devices to avoid being discovered by magic detection devices.
Then, in contrast, the intelligence facilities of Teruya Ryujaku will be built in an extremely secret location, and only members of Teruya Ryujaku who meet certain qualifications will be able to know its location and access it.
There is no doubt that the plan of the founder of "Teruya Ryujaku" was extremely bold, even reckless.
There were a lot of doubts within Teruya Ryuque. Everyone believed that such an approach was simply unrealistic. Once someone leaked the information, the intelligence storage facility would be like running naked.
However, the founder is a founder after all. He not only came up with a solution to the questionable problem, but also managed to keep this "Spiral Underground Library" safe and sound for decades.
Even today, when the head master of Teruya Ryuque has changed for several generations, the Spiral Underground Library still maintains a record of not being discovered or invaded - if the riot that just happened is not counted.
·
After a heated discussion, Lebrary and Lizadman finally reached two consensuses.
The first consensus was to immediately send a trusted person to report to the head master that the location and entrance method of the "Spiral Underground Library" might have been leaked, which was of utmost importance.
The second consensus was to immediately strengthen the defense of the "Spiral Underground Library" and strictly check all entrances to ensure that the same thing never happens again.
As for whether the "Spiral Underground Library" will be forced to relocate due to today's events, that is not something that Librari and Lizadman can interfere with. All they have to do is wait for the order from the Grand Master and then follow it.
·

The camera cuts back to Jiang Ran, who has just found a magpie nearby. He uses the magpie's shadow as a mount and sets out to find the mysterious "Millennium Young Cicada Monkey".
Jiang Ran's purpose in searching for the "Millennium Cicada Monkey" is to use the shuttle channel in the abdominal cavity of the "Millennium Cicada Monkey" again to return to the Kingdom of West, and then return to Mel Town or Sunny Town to resolve the "Confession Death Countdown" issue.
In fact, if Jiang Ran was more radical, he could have gone looking for the "Dark Rabbit Clan" while trying to find a girl to win her heart.
However, considering that the benefits of doing so are not proportional to the risks, Jiang Ran still chose a safer option.
Jiang Ran's judgment this time was based on two main grounds. The first was that there were only 9 days left in the confession death countdown, while on the contrary, there were still 77 days left for the Ancestral Wolf's Curse of Judgment to be slowly processed.
