Dimensional Store: Welcome to the Apocalypse Apartment - Chapter 196

Chapter 196

In the Library Director’s Office, Bai Yuzhen, the Learning Committee Member, had already obtained the clues required by the B-Rank Clear Rule from the Library Director.

Now, she only needed to wait for the Rescue Team to arrive before she could leave this Instance.

Before that, she had to share the clues with her teammates.

Bai Yuzhen kept the photograph containing the clues close to her body. Holding the medicine in her hand, she felt her scalp go numb as she heard the Library Director calling for her again.

For now, she had no way to escape the Library Director’s grasp.

While Gu Huaiwei was busy soliciting customers in the Gray Mist Town Library, the Oasis Sanatorium received a “visitor” who could not be admitted.

Lin She had already found a Safe House within Gray Mist Town.

The Safe House was protected by an external Formation, and he was currently searching for a way to enter.

Meanwhile, He Xueyi had simply taken a casual stroll around the town. Finding no living souls, he returned to the Oasis Sanatorium.

He sat on the edge of the windowsill on the top floor of the Oasis Sanatorium, his white robes draping down gently. His golden eyes, like the morning sun in early winter, looked down from above, overlooking the dead city.

There was no one in this city who needed his Redemption.

He could not spread his teachings or distribute his fruit. Every day, he could only raise his Worms and try to cultivate the Sunflowers he had brought from the previous Dimension, which left him feeling somewhat bored.

That was until an unexpected visitor arrived, breaking the deathly silence.

He Xueyi stood up. Standing at the edge of the rooftop, his sleeves fluttering slightly, he leapt down from the top of the building, as light as a falling white feather.

The visitor reeked of the foul stench of rotting garbage.

“Officer Zhou, you followed us here too, I see.” He Xueyi looked the newcomer up and down, covering the tip of his nose with his finger to deliberately keep his distance from the foul-smelling “Zhou Chuanning.”

“You have the wrong person.” The Half-finished Product, wearing Zhou Chuanning’s face, walked into the shop.

“Then what was your original name?”

“It’s been too long; I forgot my original name ages ago.”

The Half-finished Product had lingered in the previous Dimension for too long. He had devoured too many people, causing his original self to be diluted.

“Just register me under the name Zhou Chuanning. I want to take a bath.” There was a lot of trash inside his body now that needed to be cleaned out.

He Xueyi walked behind the counter but was in no hurry to process the paperwork.

“How did you follow us here?”

The Half-finished Product remained silent.

“Unwilling to answer?” He Xueyi sat lazily in the office chair, showing clear signs of slacking off. “We don’t have any rooms available for a customer like you.”

The Half-finished Product looked up, small black flying insects constantly falling off his body.

“Don’t lie to me. I’m not some novice who failed after only experiencing one or two Dimensions.

You failed to completely kill me in the last Dimension. Now that I’ve shed my past identity and followed you here, you should treat me like any other ordinary customer.”

The Half-finished Product was very familiar with the Rules of Paradise.

He knew that a red room had appeared in the Oasis Sanatorium.

That room was prepared for special existences like him.

He needed to stay at the hotel.

Only by checking in could he officially obtain the status of a “customer.”

As long as he did not harm the interests of the Oasis Sanatorium and paid his room fees on time, the three Assistants in the Sanatorium could not harm him.

Zhou Chuanning was inside his body, and the remaining consciousness made him unable to resist approaching Gu Huaiwei.

“It truly is rare.” The fact that the Half-finished Product could go this far made He Xueyi look at him with a bit more respect.

“I have been through cultivation Dimensions; I can pay with my lifespan.” The Half-finished Product’s hand pressed onto the counter, leaving a black, foul-smelling mark. “You are not the owner of this shop. As an Assistant, you cannot sabotage the shop’s business.”

“But I loathe filthy things.” He Xueyi looked at his clean fingertips. “Our Shop Manager Miss is currently out on field duty. You can just wait at the door. When she returns, she’ll make the decision.”

Gray Mist Town Library.

Gu Huaiwei handed a tissue to the weeping Xia Wenxin.

“At least Junru’s pain is over.” Fang Zhao patted Xia Wenxin’s back, comforting her with immense tenderness. “For the rest of the way, I’ll be by your side to take care of you.”

The pain in Xia Wenxin’s eyes faded, replaced by an even more resolute devotion. “I can manage on my own. My brother is dead, but I don’t want to die. I have to be even stronger now that I’m alone.”

Fang Zhao nodded with relief. Of all the students in the class, the one he admired most was the Sports Committee Member, Xia Wenxin.

As for Gu Huaiwei, he felt more of a sense of awe.

“Miss Gu, thank you for helping us.” He bowed deeply to Gu Huaiwei, his eyes filled with gratitude. “Once we regroup with Classmate Bai and get the necessary clues, we should be able to leave this Instance via the B-Rank Clear Rule.”

As Fang Zhao bent down to bow, Gu Huaiwei caught a flash of shrewdness in his eyes.

He put on a good act of being an honest man.

But an honest man could not survive through many Instances.

He had clearly seen that Gu Huaiwei could move freely within this Library and that even those Anomalies couldn’t do anything to her. That was why he was being so humble-it was all to cling tightly to Gu Huaiwei’s coattails.

Xia Wenxin thought for a moment and said, “We need to find a way to see the Library Director. Classmate Bai is his personal Secretary. Finding the Director is as good as finding Classmate Bai.”

“You’re restricted by the Rules, so it’s probably not very convenient for you to move around the Library, right?” Gu Huaiwei decided to help them to the end. “I’ll handle finding Bai Yuzhen. You two just need to ensure your own safety until I find her.”

“Then we are truly grateful!” Fang Zhao agreed immediately.

Xia Wenxin said with some concern, “There’s strength in numbers. Maybe we should go together…”

Fang Zhao immediately interrupted Xia Wenxin. “Classmate Xia, we must trust Miss Gu’s abilities. Let’s not hold her back.”

“This… alright then.”

Gu Huaiwei saw through it but didn’t call him out.

She was doing this for her own reasons, of course.

Currently, only Fang Zhao and Xia Wenxin had agreed to stay at her establishment.

As for that Bai Yuzhen, they hadn’t interacted yet. Fang Zhao was only the Class Monitor; he couldn’t make decisions for Bai Yuzhen.

Gu Huaiwei’s primary goal was to recruit customers.

She had to find the person first before she had a chance to negotiate.

How should she find the Library Director?

Gu Huaiwei had a sudden inspiration.
