Luo Mu waved to the others, regaining his captaincy, and strode forward with the speed of the wind.
"Um... the way downstairs is over there..."
Mr. Fischl, who was standing right in front of him, timidly raised his finger and pointed behind him.
"Oh dear, you were walking too fast..."
Noelle: "(whispering) Pfft."
"I heard you!"
The Divine Calculation System Girl won't be [illegible] in Liyue! : Chapter 553 Ah Qing, it's time to give the captain a leg massage.
Hovercars sped through the city.
"...Yes, a note."
Luo Mu, with a touch of感慨 (gan3kai3, a feeling of mixed emotions, including regret and a sense of awe), explained the information he possessed to the others.
"According to the suspect, the number of books in the Jing Shi Library is countless. The probability of someone accidentally discovering an inconspicuous note slipped in the middle of a page of one of the books is about the same as winning the lottery. Moreover, there would be absolutely no security measures to check the note, which is made of the same material as the book itself."
"If they really encounter a chance as low as winning the lottery, they might as well just abandon the operation altogether. After all, it might be fate telling them that this operation is doomed to fail."
Even so, the people in the car still had different expressions when faced with Luo Mu's words.
"Why does the boss on the other side seem so peculiar... No matter how reasonable his words are, this doesn't seem like something a normal person would do, does it?"
Amber's rant.
Hu Tao immediately raised her hand.
"Could this be a clue? Aren't we supposed to be kindred spirits? I think I might have a keen sense for this kind of person!"
"No."
Lady Keqing reached out and pressed Hu Tao's hand down. "We're handling a serious case here. To close a case, we need evidence. Besides, there are tens of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people going to the library every day. Are you going to smell them one by one?"
"Hey, look at this."
Suddenly, Ye Lan in the driver's seat swiped a light screen over.
Ke Qing subconsciously reached out, only to see another hand reaching out as well.
Turn your head.
She and Luo Mu looked at each other.
"Come here."
Lady Keqing pouted and withdrew her hand.
"Okay, Ah Qing."
"—??"
What did you just say?
Luo Mu looked at the light screen, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
He began to read:
"The Feiyun Group has made a special donation to the Jingshi Library, along with a batch of rare books, to express its desire to work with the people of Liyue to continuously build up the foundation of knowledge to a higher level. Mr. Xing Tiannan, the first heir of the Feiyun Group, personally attended the event with the books..."
Luo Mu stopped reading after that point.
He looked up and, sure enough, saw the same reaction on the faces of the others.
"Xing Tiannan, it's him again?"
Lady Keqing's expression was not good.
"Wouldn't it be much simpler if we just slipped the note into the book we wanted to donate beforehand?"
Noel followed up with a question, "And since these books were donated by Xing Tiannan, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to communicate with the library and make some extra arrangements to prevent ordinary visitors from easily browsing them, right?"
"That is indeed a possibility, but it still needs further verification."
Amber's expression seemed somewhat indifferent. "If Xing Tiannan is really the mastermind behind this, then such a move, while convenient, is also too high-profile and conspicuous. I don't think someone in that position would be taking such a shortcut in a place like this."
"What if the other party does the opposite?"
"Lord Keqing asked in return."
Amber shrugged.
"I don't know, that's why we need to verify it. Otherwise, if we just keep guessing, it will never end."
Lady Keqing nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, we're getting closer and closer to the finish line."
Luo Mu offered a word of comfort.
Judging from Keqing's expression, she was clearly still somewhat anxious due to various matters.
"I know."
Ke Qing also let out a long breath, allowing her body and nerves to relax, while looking out the window at the rising scenery.
"...Hopefully, this time there will be some results."
Luo Mu thought for a moment, then lay down on his seat.
While Keqing was gazing out the window in a daze, she suddenly caught sight of two legs dangling towards her out of the corner of her eye.
"—?"
Lady Keqing looked down at the other two legs that were now draped over her legs, completely bewildered.
Turning her head, Luo Mu was lying comfortably on the car seat, her head resting on Noelle's maid dress, her legs stretched diagonally across the two rows of seats facing her, and she was even pretending to sigh:
"Oh dear, I'm so tired from all that lady's work, I haven't even had a chance to rest properly. Ah Qing, could you massage my legs for me?"
Are you getting cocky after being captain for a while?
Lady Keqing raised her eyebrows and stared at Luo Mu for a while, even confirming it.
As a result, Luo Mu also lifted his leg twice, and it even bounced when it landed on her leg.
"Ah Qing?"
"Can you please stop shouting nonsense?"
Lady Keqing is starting to lose her composure.
That's the kind of address my dad uses to address me, but you've gotten addicted to calling me that, haven't you?
I admit you're the captain now, but have you ever considered that I'm also from the prestigious Yuheng Star? Believe it or not—
"Sigh, when I, as the team leader, stepped forward, everyone was still vouching for me in various ways, but after I came back with results, how come everyone changed their attitude? The world is truly treacherous."
Luo Mu sighed.
Lady Keqing was speechless for a moment.
After gathering her thoughts, she said rather irritably:
"Don't try to provoke me. Of course I keep my word, but are you sure you want to use my promise to you on something like this?"
Luo Mu looked up at Lady Keqing, whose face was expressionless, and sighed again:
"So in our team, even such a small matter requires a promise from Lady Keqing to be done? Oh well, since Lady Keqing is so distant, this promise really has no value to me. Just let it be."
This guy...
Lady Keqing's eyes twitched slightly.
Could you be any more fake?!
But looking back, even if Luo Mu said that, she wouldn't be able to get past her own pride if she were to take this opportunity to erase what she had promised.
With a surge of anger welling up in her chest, Lady Keqing finally revealed a gritted-teeth smile:
"No need, you're the captain, how could I make any demands while helping the captain... a leg massage, right!"
I'll crush you!
Lady Keqing placed her jade-like hands on Luo Mu's legs and squeezed them hard!
"Hey! You're hitting too hard! What if I break my leg? Will I still be able to participate in the investigation?!"
Luo Mu yelled and grimaced while shaking his legs wildly.
This time, Keqing instead pressed Luo Mu's legs onto her own, preventing him from leaving. While pressing them down, she continued to pinch them, and while pinching, she coldly replied:
"Don't worry, this is a technique I use to quickly relieve muscle fatigue. Although it may hurt a little, I guarantee it will be effective and won't cause any harm."
"are you sure?!"
Luo Mu was in so much pain he almost bounced up.
Noelle was still gloating.
"Would you like me to massage your shoulders and scalp too? I guarantee there will be no side effects."
"I'll bite you, you believe me!"
"—? What are you doing, you perverted senior?!"
The Divine Calculation System will never be [illegible] in Liyue! : Chapter 554 What should I prepare to propose marriage to A-Qing's family?
At the entrance of the library.
Mr. Luo Mu is stomping his feet.
"Huh, it actually seems pretty good?"
Luo Mu looked on in astonishment.
Surprisingly, he wasn't lame at all, and his steps even seemed lighter.
"Hmph, would I need to lie to you, Captain?"
Lady Keqing crossed her arms over her rather prominent chest and gave him a sidelong glance with an unfriendly tone.
"No, it's fine."
Luo Mu immediately put on a smile and very naturally raised his hand to pat Lady Keqing on the shoulder, "Since you have such skills, then I'll have to work hard for you in the future, Keqing."
Lady Keqing's eyes twitched.
"I told you not to call people by those kinds of names so casually, didn't I?!"
Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!
She raised her hand and slapped Luo Mu's hand away in an annoyance.
"The librarian is already waiting for us. Come this way."
On the other side, Yelan acted as if she hadn't seen the commotion at all, and was already communicating with the others.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Hu Tao skipped and hopped past them.
Lady Keqing was stunned for a moment.
Why does this feel so strangely familiar?
...How did I get dragged into this mess by this guy?!
Lady Keqing, who hadn't cared much before, is truly annoyed this time.
I've always said that Luo Mu and his gang are unserious and don't take things seriously when they're on missions, but it seems I've unwittingly been dragged into it by this guy.
Is this really some kind of talent? Luo Mu's ability to lead people astray!
"Hey, Ah Qing, why are you still standing there in a daze?"
"—?"
When Ke Qing came to her senses, she saw that Luo Mu had already joined the group and was waving at her with a strange look on his face.
the most important is--
This is the library entrance, and there are tons of people watching them!!
"Believe it or not, if you shout that again, I'll cut you with my sword!"
