Chapter 274:
Isaac and Bashul staggered back as the shout echoed throughout the entire secret archive. As the librarian’s voice resonated here and there, boxes started to rattle and stir in various places in the archive. Amidst the anxiety that something might burst out of the boxes at any moment, the librarian slammed his staff down onto the floor.
In an instant, a powerful force pressed down on the surroundings, subduing the agitated boxes. Isaac held his breath and watched the librarian.
Bashul asked urgently, “What on earth happened?”
“Someone opened the coffin before us. The person inside succumbed to the White Sand Disease as it progressed and died.”
This meant that someone had stolen the “knowledge.”
Whether it was the name of the Nameless Chaos was unknown. Regardless, to the librarian, it was a terrible crime of unauthorized intrusion and damage to materials, and to Isaac, it meant that the opportunity to obtain the desired information was lost.
Besides the secret archive of the Censorship Bureau, Isaac knew of no other place where he could learn the name of Chaos, so he was essentially at a dead end.
However, more than that, Isaac felt a looming unease that the Blind Sentinel might arrive as a consequence of this incident.
