Time quickly turned to night. Luo'er had been hiding in the kitchen, not daring to wander around the academy for fear of bumping into Tangmo again.
Finally, late into the night, Luo'er stretched lazily, easing the fatigue of a day's work, and then braced himself for a night expedition to the archive room.
He put on his unidentifiable costume again, covering his face with a towel. Except for Tangmo, nobody in the academy knew his real identity. Therefore, he had to be extra careful to prevent his whereabouts from being exposed and implicating Tangmo.
He sneaked to the perimeter of the building again, but this time he was not as composed. Since there were no activities in the academy, the guards patrolled as usual. It took Luo'er quite a while to find an opportunity where a sentry was caught off guard and he sneaked into the building.
