When Anna took out her pistol and shot decisively, Aaron couldn't help but be stunned.

No, why is this girl crazier than me?

He would at least pretend to investigate the situation before shooting. How could he be like Anna who just pulls out a gun and shoots after a disagreement?

Aren’t you an up-and-coming Imperial citizen? Why do you still use American-style Iai?

However, Anna's sudden shot failed to kill the enemy in front of her.

The silver bullet was fired at the white cat that stopped outside the range of the light, but as the bullet got closer to the white cat, its moving speed became slower and slower. In the end, it even squirmed forward at an almost stationary speed.

It seems as if the flow of time gradually slows down from normal until it stops.

But Aaron and Anna's time is normal, and so is the white cat's time.

The only abnormal thing is the bullet shot by Anna.

Then, the white cat gracefully raised its paw and casually deflected the bullet that was almost stuck in the air.

The crisp sound of bullets hitting the ground rang out.

After being hit by the white cat's paw, the bullet returned to its original speed, but also lost all kinetic energy and was slapped on the ground by its paw.

After seeing this, Aaron and Anna glanced at each other subconsciously, but they could only see confusion in each other's eyes.

They don't know how the white cat did this.

Anna gritted her teeth and raised her pistol again, but at this time, Aaron stretched out his hand to stop her.

"Don't waste bullets."

Aaron narrowed his eyes, turned around and stretched out his left hand to lift the oil lamp on the table. Then he held the dim oil lamp and took a step towards the direction of the white cat.

He took a step forward, and the white cat took a step back.

It always stands outside the range of light.

"Is it afraid of light?" Seeing this scene, Anna frowned, "Or is it afraid of this oil lamp?"

"I'm afraid it's the former. After all, we didn't see this white cat during the day, right?"

Calmness, like panic, can also be contagious among people. Aaron's natural calmness calmed down Anna, who was already a little anxious.

She raised her head and looked around the reading room where they were.

The girl who had fallen asleep before now realized that this place had already fallen into a silent darkness, and only she and Aaron were left in the empty reading room. At the same time, except for the oil lamp in their hands, there was no other person in the reading room.

There is not even a light source!

And the gunshot she just fired didn't attract anyone's attention. It was far from late at night, and even if it was really early in the morning, there should be staff on duty!

The entire Imperial National Library was as silent as a haunted house.

Anna frowned and asked her friend who was still sleeping next to her: "Is this what it was like here before the white cat appeared?"

"How would I know." Aaron waved his hand, "I'm so obsessed with copying that I never paid attention."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, folded the transcript they had finally recorded several times, stuffed it into his pocket, and then looked back at the white cat in front of him.

It shook its body and kept staring at Aaron, keeping a fixed distance from them - just outside the distance that the oil lamp could shine.

"Let's just carry the oil lamp and leave here."

Aaron suggested calmly, and Anna nodded in agreement.

Then, the two stood up in an orderly manner, the former holding a lantern, and the latter casually grabbing Aaron's coat and holding a pistol. They calmly walked towards the door of the reading room.

The place where they were staying before was in the middle of the reading room, and they had to walk some distance if they wanted to leave the reading room.

Aaron placed the oil lamp between the two of them, ensuring that the light could cover them both, and walked towards the door of the reading room.

But at this moment, when the dim light of the oil lamp no longer illuminated their previous table, the sound of turning pages suddenly sounded.

Aaron and Anna looked back subconsciously.

The white cat appeared on their previous table at some unknown time. It stretched out a paw, pressed it on the newspapers left by Aaron, and kept flipping those newspapers!
p>

Then, the newspapers that had been flipped through by Aaron flew up one by one, as if they had gained life, fluttering happily, like butterflies, performing a drama in the darkness where the light of the oil lamp could not shine.

The dance of circling music.

One or two fluttering newspapers flew towards the location of Aaron and Anna, but when they entered the light, they suddenly lost their life and ability to fly, returned to their original state, and fell to the ground.

"This..."

Aaron raised his eyebrows in surprise, and Anna once again raised the pistol in her hand and pointed it at the white cat standing on the table.

The white cat didn't mind at all when she pointed the gun at him, and even licked its paws and gave Anna a provocative look.

"Aaron, I suddenly feel that leaving the reading room is not a good idea." Anna kept aiming, the silver-white lady's pistol in her hand flashed with a cool arc like moonlight, and she said calmly: "This room

There are only newspapers we left in the reading room. If it leaves the reading room, will it be able to control the books in the entire library? By then, even if it just smashes it, it will kill both of us."

"But we can't just stay here and let it consume us, right?"

Just as the two were discussing quickly, the door to the reading room that was already far away from them suddenly opened by itself.

The darkness as deep as the abyss made the time outside the door particularly mysterious and terrifying, making the two people who were already hesitant continue to stand still.

But soon, new surprises flourished again.

After the dancing newspapers, the tables and chairs in the reading room also began to move. First they suddenly shook on the ground, and then they took off one by one into the air, heading towards the location of Aaron and Anna at extremely fast speeds.

"Smashed" it over!

With a series of intensive crashes, these tables and chairs fell within the range illuminated by the oil lamp. Although none of them hit Aaron and the other two, the threat of being smashed to death forced them to move on! <

/p>

The two of them bravely accelerated their pace, walked out of the door one after another, and rushed out of the reading room.

Here, they still didn't see any light source.

In the empty space of the library, only the oil lamp in their hands still gave off a dim light.

But compared with the reading room that has been completely controlled by the white cat, the world outside the reading room is quite peaceful, and the stars and moon can also be seen from the transparent dome above their heads, providing them with some precious light!

"Huh." Aaron exhaled, "It seems that it will take a certain amount of time for the white cat to control the objects in the dark."

What Aaron said was his unfounded guess, but in this case, making some optimistic guesses can stabilize the morale of the army.

Obviously, Anna felt a little relieved after listening to Aaron's words. She nodded slightly: "Yeah."
