Void Beetle Evolution Guide

This document is intended to remind our hypothetical guests and aspiring librarians of the numerous articles, inscriptions, treasures, images, ornaments, and clothing that are contained in this treasure house. I have devised a system. This system has no name yet. I believe that it will be necessary to give it a name in the future.

However, this system is not mandatory. I have designed it so that even a child can easily master and follow it. Therefore, I also honor the reader by turning to the back of this page to see the key methods for finding and maintaining various items in our knowledge sanctuary.

Long story short: no matter where you find something, you should return it to its rightful place.

-

Iris turned to the back of the page, which was densely covered with a very sophisticated method that divided the detailed addresses of various books and objects into twenty-seven major categories, and each major category was divided into many small categories.

It's really a perfect system.

Turning to the second page, there are many more ink spots on it, as if the tip of the pen was directly poked into the page. Through this detail, we can see Thresh's inner hesitation when he wrote this article.

The size and collection of the secret library were so vast that it would take him a lot of time to go through it and return all the items to their correct places.

He originally thought it was just a low-level task, but the other watchers' lack of attention to items greatly increased his workload. If he, a top student, continued to waste his time on these tedious tasks, he would never have the hope of working with the masters of Helia in his life.

But he was still determined to classify and record these dangerous objects, and spent many years to design a successful system, which was so detailed that it recorded the impact category, scope, and effect intensity of each holy object, and also divided them into grades.

At the same time, he reminded again: No matter where you find something, you should return it to the right place.

Elise turned the last page and saw that Thresh's handwriting was darker, as if it was engraved on the paper.

-

I do not intend to accuse any supposed guest or hard-working staff member of being insensitive to the purpose of the Library's existence or of being oblivious to the sanctity of our work and its organizational mechanisms.

No, the failure to achieve such an ideal alignment is not the fault of any one individual, but a common problem of all mankind.

Yet it pains me to point out, to my superiors, to my supposed guests, and to the hard-working librarians, that this was the thirty-seventh violation of our holy land's classification system.

If there is a way, I will hold those responsible for dereliction of duty accountable, nail them to the pillar of shame, and use the pain to make them regain the beautiful qualities that seem to have been completely lost, such as prudence, rationality, social justice, basic etiquette and parental love.

So, let me emphasize again: no matter where you find something, you should return it to its rightful place.

Seeing this, Elise realized that Thresh's malicious interest in torture was due to the repeated mistakes of others.

Although he had taught others the methods, these people did not follow the correct methods, which caused him to suffer from stupidity syndrome.

Due to the situation of being unappreciated for his talent, the dark environment and the influence of dark objects, Thresh gradually became twisted and perverted and turned into a cruel and vicious guy.

Chapter 122: Foxes Love to Dive into Holes

===================================

"Found it. The description of the Heart Key is on page six. It is stored in Warehouse No. 144 of the Hammerstone Prison!"

It must be said that the classification system that Thresh researched was indeed very efficient. Elise searched the catalog and quickly found the location of the Heart Key.

The three of them immediately headed to their destination. Through the iron window on the door, Iris saw that there was only a locked box in warehouse No. 144.

Kassa opened the iron door and the lock on the box one after another. Iris held her breath nervously and watched her slowly open the box.Mei Xiang has no Lin, no Lin, Kong Yong has no Lin, and there is Yong...

A box with an ancient shape appeared in front of him. It looked like a music box with a spring inserted, and was covered with strange symbols.

Obviously, this heart-shaped spring is the so-called key to the heart, and the box is the corresponding lock.

Seeing that Kassa was about to pull out the key, Iris immediately stopped her.

"The Heart Key must be turned in its corresponding lock every thirty-nine hours, otherwise it will automatically open the nearest lock, or the heart. We don't know when the Heart Key was last turned, so you should pick up the corresponding box together and always make sure it is closest to the Heart Key."

Thresh classified the Heart Key as a lowest-level containment item, as although it was safe most of the time, it still had the ability to kill people if handled improperly.

Kasa paused for a moment after hearing this, then picked up the box and muttered, "Is this thing really that magical?"

"Any items that involve rule-based abilities are generally not simple." said Wild Hunt.

"We'll know after we give it a try." Ahri was also very curious. "This kind of item involving rules is very abnormal and difficult to understand even with my thousand years of experience. I can almost be sure that this thing is not made by natural methods, but more like the product of some evil research."

"Perhaps this is the original form of the Keystone."

"Very likely. The Keystone is like a key to the heart that optimizes away the side effects."

"Iris, you try it." When Kassa heard that they found it troublesome, she handed the Key of Heart to Iris.

Iris took the box outside and found that all the warehouses in the corridor were locked and filled with experimental materials.

She chose the warehouse No. 145 next to it. She had confirmed before that it contained an item called the Unfinished Book.

The object in containment is an unfinished book. Anyone who sees the contents of the book will go crazy and mutilate themselves, trying to complete the book with their own blood, eventually resulting in massive blood loss or death.

The person who was able to complete a portion of the content declared it "impossible to complete" and immediately committed suicide after completing it. The content on it was also not decipherable by humans, but was an unknown text.

The Unfinished Book is dangerous, but you'll be fine as long as you don't read it.

Iris held her breath, nervously pulled the key out of the box, and inserted it into the door lock of warehouse No. 145 next to her.

The Heart Key simply touched the padlock, and it opened automatically. Just like the relationship between the Wild Hunt and her.

Iris tried several different locks in succession, and when she found that the Heart Key could open all of them, she carefully inserted it back into the box.

"Since it works, let's go back to Wanzai Well immediately." Kassa immediately picked up the map to plan the route, without showing the slightest attachment to the readily available storage items around her.

Although there is a saying that you can never have too much of a good thing, it is not worth wasting crucial time. Moreover, many of the items in the collection are dangerous, so you will be hesitant to take them.

But before they had gone far, Iris discovered another problem.

"Wait, there's something happening!"

"What's wrong?" Kassa turned around and gave her a puzzled look.

"My little pet saw someone coming to Wanzaijing! One of them was an undead with a sickle and a lantern in his hands and a bunch of keys hanging around his waist. He should be Thresh! The other one I don't recognize, but he seems to be a human, a shirtless big man!"

Iris closed her eyes and sensed it. A ghost and a human were walking together, and they were not in a relationship of abuser and victim. There must be some hidden conspiracy between them.

Suddenly, her expression turned very ugly: "Oh no! Thresh opened the door with the keystone and they entered Wanzai Well!"

“Hurry back! No matter what Thresh wants to do, we must not let him get there first!”

The situation was urgent, Kassa immediately ran, and the other two followed closely behind.

The roads in the underground secret library are complicated, and even Kassadin has to stop from time to time to see which way to go, so the two people behind her have to keep up with her speed.

"Are we going to get rid of Thresh?" Ahri asked Elise beside her.

"That's right. I didn't expect that after finding the Heart Key, I still have to fight Thresh. If I had known, I would have just waited at Wanzai Well." Elise complained. Thresh's behavior made it seem stupid that they had gone to so much trouble to find him.

After understanding the situation, Ahri suddenly clenched her fists and started praying.

“If we can defeat Thresh, I hope to recover what he has taken from me, and free the spirits he has imprisoned in his lantern.”

"What was taken from you?"

“A stone. I have carried it with me since I was born. I don’t know what use it has for Thresh, but it is the only thing my people left me.”

"Imero Stone, or Sun Stone... This is a special kind of lizard egg fossil that has the function of storing memories." The Wild Hunt suggested.

"Storing memories... But I've been carrying it for so long, taking it out to study countless times, and I haven't found any memories stored in it." Ahri said anxiously, "If that was the memory information left to me by my tribe, how could I be so stupid as to not find out for so long? If Thresh discovers the function of the Sunstone, then the legacy of the Vishan Tribe is very likely to fall into the hands of that undead."

"Simply because it's empty."

"Empty..." Ahri was both relieved and lonely, and then asked: "What is Thresh doing here?"

"I don't know. My intuition tells me that he should be going after the Ruined King."

When passing an intersection, Kassa suddenly changed her mind and took a road they had not taken before.

"It's too late. Elise, locate those little spiders you left behind earlier. Let's take a shortcut."

It takes too long to return by the original route. If you want to quickly reach the Wanzai Well from the Thresh Prison at the bottom level, you can only take the canal that Ryze drilled through.

"What shortcut?" Ahri, who joined in halfway, said she couldn't understand their conversation.

Kassa looked back at the fox girl's nine fluffy tails and said something that puzzled her.

"They say foxes love to burrow. I hope you don't mind getting your fur wet."

Chapter 123 Thresh and Gangplank

=====================================

The sound of dragging chains was heard from the empty room, and a gloomy ghost in a tattered robe once again visited Wanzaijing.

The ghost was holding a dim lantern and had a bunch of keys and a sickle on his waist.

The top of the lantern and the end of the hook were connected to an iron chain, which was dragged behind him, and the sound of the chain rubbing against the marble floor echoed in the empty sanctuary.

This powerful and cunning undead is Thresh.

Although Wanzai Well is named after a well, it is actually more like a magnificent and huge bathing place.

Although he had only met it once, Thresh still clearly remembered the original appearance of Wanzai Well.

The room was mostly hidden in a thick fog, so thick that the lanterns could not reach the end. Everywhere I looked, there was white marble, gold, and arcane symbols. Columns with intricate relief carvings rose out of the fog, and steps gently stepped down from the edge of the room into the pool.

The water was crystal clear, without a single ripple. The reflection of the lantern was reflected on the crystal surface, the only evidence of the existence of the water. The white mist curled around him like a misty vine.

But after the huge explosion, this place has become so desolate and dilapidated that it is unrecognizable.

The columns on both sides were blown to pieces in the explosion. The broken stones slowly radiated out in all directions, and were then pulled back by an unknown force, constantly collapsing and reorganizing.

The black fog rolled in, and the dim light from the lantern could not reach the end. The only thing that remained unchanged was that the conscious fog still surrounded him like tentacle.

“Is this Wanzai Well?”

The living person behind him made a dissatisfied sound, as if he felt that this place neither looked like a well nor was worthy of the name Wanzai.

Thresh turned his head and saw that the survivor was a middle-aged man with a sturdy build, his neck and shoulders were packed with thick muscles like a bull.

He was naked from the waist up, with the amulet on his chest emitting a seaweed-like green light, protecting him from the black fog. On his waist hung a Bilgewater scimitar and a pistol, and a pair of shark-like cold and numb eyes stared fearlessly at Thresh.

This scene reminded Thresh of the time when he led Viego. He was humble and endured the king's orders for his revenge. But now he has powerful magic power, and the pirate in front of him is just a pirate who claims to be the king. He no longer needs to endure.

"Ganpack, do you think the place where you are about to become king is too shabby?" Thresh asked in a hissing voice.

"It always feels boring without an audience." The man named Planck snorted.

Planck.

Captain of the Stygian Abyss, leader of the Hook Gang, and king of the pirate city of Bilgewater.

The reason why Gangplank and Thresh got together was all because of their chance encounter on the last Haunted Night.

That night, Gangplank stayed on his ship, the Abyss, as usual, to avoid the undead.

He and the sea beast priest Illaoi are old acquaintances, but he doesn't have to rely on a woman's protection to survive the Harrowing Night. As the ruler of Bilgewater, in order to gain a foothold in this chaotic and lawless area, he has already summed up a set of methods to deal with the Harrowing Night.

However, in that chaotic and terrifying night, a powerful and cunning undead appeared before him in person, gave a sinister smile, and said that he wanted to make a deal with him.

Gangplank found that he knew him, Thresh, the Chain Warden, a frequent visitor to Bilgewater who came to reap souls almost every Harrowing Night.

Thresh promised him an extremely powerful force, an ancient sword that could control the black fog and command the undead. With it, Gangplank could jump out of Bilgewater and become the king who ruled the whole world.

Of course, Gangplank was not satisfied with being the king of just a small city of Bilgewater. When he was young, he traveled all over the world and collected treasures that could fill the entire warehouse of the Hook Gang, but as he grew older, he began to feel a little overwhelmed.

After years of silence, he felt that his blood was gradually disappearing, and the lion king who lost his deterrent power would eventually be replaced or killed. So he hit it off with Thresh and decided to go to Shadow Isles to obtain the Blade of the Ruined King.

Gangplank knew that Thresh could not be trusted, but he didn't care. Those who were afraid of things would never accomplish anything.

The first step of the conquest is Kamavia on the other side of the ocean, which was also Viego's country during his lifetime. As long as he descends with the Blade of the Ruined King, I'm sure all the former people of Kamavia will kneel down and kowtow to him.

After the Harrowing, Thresh returned to the Shadow Isles while Gangplank made some preparations in Bilgewater.

Following Thresh's instructions, he found the Heart of Baru in an abandoned temple, which was the necklace on his body that protected him from the Black Mist, and then drove the Abyss to the Shadow Isles.

While Thresh was waiting for Gangplank on the coast, he encountered the ship that Ahri was on, designed a shipwreck and captured everyone on board.

After discovering the sunstone on Ahri, Thresh immediately took it away. He did not torture those Vastaya people, simply because he had more important things to do and did not have time to do so.

Both of these things are extremely important to his plan. If Ahri didn't bring the Sunstone, Thresh would have asked Gangplank to help find it. When they find it, they will start. Ahri's accidental arrival just brought the plan forward.Mei wants to be without Mei in my empty space without Lin Youyong......

Thresh led Gangplank towards the center of the explosion. They stepped onto the stairs and saw a quiet pool in front of them.

There is a protruding rock in the center of the pool, but the top of the rock is concave, like a crater left by a meteorite impact, but in fact it is the trace of being swallowed by the explosion.

Together they stepped over a few broken slabs floating on the water, came to the edge of the pit and looked down.

A large sword was inserted in the center of the stone pit, and the power it radiated filled the cracks with an eerie light.

Thresh raised the lantern, dimly illuminating the remaining flesh and skin on his body, which looked desolate and dilapidated.

"Ganck, welcome to my sanctuary, take a good look at your reward." He opened his mouth to reveal his overly sharp teeth, and there was a fanaticism in his tone.
