Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 131: Compass

"Hmm... You're a human, so you can't possibly take out a compass from your head like us Traveller Star people."

Saying this, the coach lifted open his own skull.

Inside his head was empty, nothing at all, yet he managed to pull out something resembling a compass.

Gu Yi made a face and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, coach, there's no need to show off."

"Hmm... Be patient. Tell me, what do you like?"

"What do you mean?"

"You'll see. First, choose one thing you like the most."

The coach pulled out three items from his pocket: a lighter, a flask, and a curling iron.

"Coach, were you a rebellious student?"

"Huh? What?"

A twitch appeared at the corner of Gu Yi's mouth. His mental energy hadn't fully recovered yet, and he had no idea what the coach was trying to do.

The curling iron was the first thing he excluded. Considering convenience, it seemed the lighter might be a better choice than the flask.

"I choose the lighter."

"Good choice."

The coach put away the other two items, holding the lighter in one hand and the compass in the other.

A flash of white light appeared, then the lighter and compass merged together.

The once cheap plastic lighter turned into an expensive Zippo lighter. It looked incredibly cool, and even if Gu Yi didn't smoke, he would want one of these for his collection.

"It looks cool."

"Take it. It's your reward."

"Thank you."

Gu Yi picked up the lighter, and a system prompt sounded in his ear.

"Congratulations on obtaining the special plot item [Compass]!"

A plot item that could help him explore the chaotic space didn't help in increasing the plot exploration rate? It seemed that in the eyes of the system, the library's Section B and the rooftop of the dormitory had no relation to the main plot.

Gu Yi looked outside. The void passage to the library hadn't closed yet. He could rest for half an hour in the library to recover his mental energy and then go explore Section B.

He put the compass in the pocket, bid farewell to the coach, and returned to the library. He found a spot to sit and then slept for a while.

Half an hour later, Gu Yi opened his eyes.

There was still half an hour before the library closed, enough time for Gu Yi to take a look around the Section.

(Deduction begins!)

(You leave your seat and approach the entrance to the Section B.)

(The librarian still won't let you in.)

(You go to the back door and sneak into Section B using the method from before.)

(You light up the lighter.)

(With the lighter's guidance, the chaotic space in Section B appears orderly to your eyes. Not only are there books, but various security systems and traps are also present. Even with the compass, you need to proceed with caution.)

(You pick up a book and skim through it.)

(Most of the content is still indecipherable due to the cognitive barrier of Section B.)

(You can only make out the first half of the book, which mostly consists of brief histories of extinct civilizations.)

(The content mostly details how these civilizations combatted the weird world, but what the latter half of the book contains remains unknown to you.)

(Suddenly, you hear heavy footsteps.)

(The librarian appears behind you.)

(Librarian: Oh, there's a little bookworm here.)

(The librarian smashes your head with his fist.)

(Everything goes blood-red in your vision.)

(You have died.)

(Deduction ends!)

Gu Yi opened his eyes.

The books in Section B seemed to be mostly historical, but they had a different focus.

If he could memorize all these contents and bring them back to the real world, it would undoubtedly advance human civilization and technology by years.

The latter half of the historical books were obscured by mist, a result of the system's cognitive barrier.

Furthermore, the librarian remained an insurmountable obstacle.

However, up until now, Gu Yi had no idea how to bypass the librarian.

"Additionally... the coach mentioned they're Traveller Star people, able to move through chaotic spaces. That librarian also seems to be a Traveller... Do these beings have any weaknesses?"

To be more efficient, Gu Yi closed his eyes, using his talent to search between the bookshelves.

He came upon a book titled "Encyclopedia of All Realms." Opening it, he found a bookmark sandwiched in the middle, with a handwritten sentence on it.

[We are the last morticians[1].]

The handwritten note had a consistent style – cryptic sentences that felt elusive.

"This must be the kind of prose a philosopher writes."

Gu Yi pondered for a moment, then tucked the bookmark into his pocket.

Flipping through the table of contents, Gu Yi finally found the records regarding the "Traveller Star People."

[This is a unique race proficient in spatial technology. Every Traveller Star person is born with the innate ability to space-jump, allowing them to traverse millions of light-years in the blink of an eye.]

[They are among the very few beings that can contend with the mastermind of the Weird World. The Ascenders fought with the Weird World for three centuries, while the Traveller Star People were still on the run, evading the hunt of the Weird World.]

[They might not be the most powerful, but they surely are the fastest runners.]

[It is said that their space-jump ability was acquired within the Weird World itself.]

[The only weakness of the Traveller Star People is their love for drinking. If you can find the wine they love, they might drink recklessly, becoming thoroughly intoxicated. Only a very few Traveller Star people with strong will can resist the temptation of alcohol.]

"At last, there's a clue."

Gu Yi closed the book and put it back on the shelf.

The closing music for the library sounded again.

Gu Yi turned and left the library, heading back to the dormitory.

As usual, after Chen Zeyu finished his nightly routine, he went straight to bed. Gu Yi closed his eyes, beginning a new round of exploration.

(Deduction begins!)

(You take all the tools you need and sneak into the bathroom.)

(You create another void walking potion.)

(You've become increasingly skilled. With just your inherent willpower, you can resist the mental contamination that comes with potion-making.)

(Holding the potion, you stealthily make your way to the rooftop of the dormitory.)

(You open the door, drink the potion, and light the lighter.)

(You plunge into the void.)

(In the chaotic space, you spot the shadow of a massive entity that looks like a fallen giant.)

(As you approach the figure, it turns out to be a shuttle-like spaceship, and you easily find its entrance.)

(After you enter the spaceship, the effect of your potion also wears off.)
