"Hey Ferguson, it's dinner time, do you have time to have a drink together?"

The old black man seemed a little surprised, but nodded anyway, "If you really want to accompany me as an old man, of course, come to my office." ”

The so-called office is actually a utility room with a table and two chairs.

Qin Yu poured a glass of wine for each of them, and while eating sandwiches, they chatted with each other.

"This wine is good, and this cigar is also very authentic." The old man clearly enjoyed the unexpected gift.

"Hehe, if you like it."

"Did you give a lecture today?" The old man asked.

"Fortunately, it's funny to say, I also received a small gift in class, which was given by a girl."

"Hehe, girls are very active now, but you have to pay attention, the school prohibits teachers and students from falling in love, and if someone finds out, they may be expelled."

"I don't think she's interested in me, because the things she gave me are very strange." Qin Yu said, but took out the key and showed it to the old man.

The old black man glanced at the bronze key, and his gaze suddenly became solemn, "I seem to have seen this pattern somewhere." ”

Qin Yuxin said of course you've seen it, "Oh, can you talk about it?" ”

The old man had a look of remembrance on his face, and he spoke slowly, in a tone like telling a story, "It was twenty years ago, there was a murder in the school, a very evil murder, in a library near the woods, people found a corpse, it was the body of a girl, she was naked, lying in the hall of the library, her blood flowed everywhere, and formed a strange pattern, it seemed to be some kind of religious symbol, I was responsible for cleaning it at that time, So I remember it very well, that symbol, this symbol on this key.

The strange thing is that the girl's expression is serene, as if she is asleep, but since then, strange things have often happened to that library, and it has since been abandoned. ”

Qin Yu deliberately showed a shocked expression, "Oh my God, this kind of thing can happen." ”

"yes, I'm surprised, too, but I'm guessing it has something to do with a legend in that library."

"What legend?"

"That library was established a long time ago, legend has it that it was originally built by an archaeologist after an archaeological trip around the world, and it is said that he found a mysterious ancient book during a trip around the world, which contains terrible power, and the people who built this library secretly hid this book, as long as they find this mysterious ancient book, they can grasp the powerful power inside."

"Of course, it's just nonsense, but compared to some stupid fools who believed that rumor and performed some evil ritual to try to find the whereabouts of that book, of course they found nothing."

Qin Yuxin said that it really doesn't matter, this book should really exist.

"What's that girl's name?"

"Eve."

"Eve? The girl who gave me the key before was also named Eve, so it must be the same person. He deliberately showed a worried and hurried expression, "No, I have to find out, where can I find information about this murder?" ”

"You can go to the old archives and look for them, it's in the basement, there are a lot of student documents that are not archived, most of them are in the school records that the school board doesn't want to be in the school records, if you need it, I can help you open that archive, I'm in charge of cleaning the building, so there's the key to the archive, but young man, listen to my advice, don't investigate this matter deeply, it's better not to know some things."

Qin Yu shook his head: "No, as a professor, understanding the truth of the matter is something I must do, not to mention, it is likely that a chapter of murder is involved, please lend me the key to the basement." ”

The old black man shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, but don't blame me for not reminding you, I've seen all kinds of strange things after staying here for so long, and sometimes, it's better not to touch the truth of some things lightly." ”

Qin Yu didn't bother to pay attention to him, picked up the key and nodded, "Thank you, buddy." ”

He turned and walked towards the archives.

In the dusty old file Ankuli, Qin Yu held a flashlight and kept looking for it.

There are not many archives in the archives, most of them have been electronically archived, and only a few remain here.

Got it! A filing cabinet marked 1998 appeared in front of Qin Yu's eyes.

Qin Yu directly chose the file box starting with E.

There were dozens of documents inside, and Qin Yu quickly found the one he was looking for. Eve Becky.

The head of a girl with short flaxen hair appeared in front of her, and sure enough, it was the mysterious girl she had seen before.

The file also describes the story of the girl's death.

Eve Becky is a member of a mysterious society founded by a man named Jensen Partridge.

This Partridge is also Eve Becky's boyfriend, and Partridge was considered the first suspect after the death, but in the end he was not sent to prison due to lack of evidence, but this guy was expelled from school.

Although he didn't know what this document represented, Qin Yu knew that this document would definitely come in handy.

Qin Yu took the document into his arms, turned around and walked out of the archives, looked at the time, there was less than half an hour left before the agreed time, Qin Yu didn't delay any longer, and walked towards the library.

The library is located on the edge of the woods, in a very remote area, and the building looks very old and old.

Qin Yu walked to the door and slowly inserted the bronze key towards the keychain of the gate, which did not match at all.

It doesn't seem to be used to open this door.

He smashed the glass of the library door, then reached in and opened the door from the inside, pushed the door and walked in.

A stale breath suddenly hit his face, and he took a flashlight to shine on the hall of the library, and there was nothing empty, only empty bookshelves, not a single book.

Qin Yu was not in a hurry, he searched carefully, and soon a relief in the middle of the hall caught his attention.

This relief depicts this library, and next to the library stands a scholar dressed as middle-aged, probably the founder of the library, holding a book in both hands and handing it in the direction of the library.

There are some words in the lower right of the relief - in memory of Mr. Will, the founder of the library.

On the base of the relief is also engraved an inscription - [Only blood can reveal the truth], next to the inscription is the strange pattern of the polygon.

Probably that's why there was a blood ritual in the first place, and those who were looking for mysterious ancient books wanted to find ancient books by means of blood sacrifices.

However, Qin Yu knew that most of those people were mistaken, he glanced at the relief, and suddenly his eyes moved, the position of the keychain on the door of the library in the relief looked quite strange, not only the proportions were large, but also seemed to be faintly recessed.

He pulled out the key and inserted it into the keyhole of the door in the relief, this time with ease.

There was a strange sound of vibration from behind the relief, and with a boom, the relief slowly rose, but instead of the lobby of the library, it was a passage leading to the underground.

It turns out that the library also has a basement.

Qin Yu didn't hesitate and walked straight in.
