The next day.
After finishing her four classes for the day, Qiao Suisui planned to return some books to the library before meeting Carl at the school gate.
As soon as she entered the library, she immediately felt a shift from the noisy outside to a profound silence. Ten minutes after Qiao Suisui had entered, she hadn't seen a single person.
She was somewhat puzzled; although the library was usually not very crowded, it was unusual for it to be this empty.
The librarian on duty was not at their post, so she had no choice but to leave a note with her student ID and return the books from memory to their original spots.
She paid attention to the labels on rows of bookshelves, unaware that a shadow suddenly darted between the tall shelves.
'Click—'
The sound of the heavy door locking echoed through the empty library.
Qiao Suisui turned around and saw that the door, which had previously been open, was now mysteriously closed.
Her brows furrowed, sensing something was wrong.
