“Everyone knows that yesterday, a tiger demon had infiltrated Jianghai city’s prison and released a large number of star beasts, causing quite a bit of chaos. It also resulted in a lot of casualties and property losses to the citizens of Jianghai city.

“Due to the lack of staff for certain positions, the library has to transfer a few employees. The list is on the big screen.

“But don’t worry, the positions I’ve chosen are all suitable for each individual. It will only help the library instead of worsening it.

“As for the management area of the missing staff, someone else will be appointed.

“In addition, surveillance cameras will be installed outside our library. I will transfer a portion of the administrators to take charge of them.”

Ye Xiao glanced at the name list on the big screen. It mainly involved staff on the second and third floors. Perhaps it was because the second and third floors were relatively unlively so the staff had plenty of free time for extra tasks.

However, he was rather lucky that his name was not written.

Although he could still visit the library to borrow books in other posts, it was still not as convenient as being a librarian. He could read as many books as he wanted and he could also read them during office hours.

After the morning meeting, Manager Yang Zhengyi began to arrange for the transfer of personnel.

The administrators on the second and third floors who were still here would temporarily manage more areas of the colleagues who had been transferred. They had to wait until there were new people to fill in later.

Ye Xiao had also been allocated an additional area.

That was also a good thing for Ye Xiao because he could stay in areas to read during working hours.

Just as he was about to go back, Manager Yang called out to him.

“Ye Xiao, wait a moment.”

Ye Xiao stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Manager Yang.

“What’s the matter?”

“Before you start work. Gu Hai didn’t come over this morning, and his phone is switched off. I can’t get in touch with him. I’m worried that something bad might have happened to him yesterday. You are the closest to him so go look for him.”

Ye Xiao’s eyebrows rose.

“I got it.”

He walked out of the library. The damaged facilities and buildings had almost been repaired, and the city looked brand new.

It was probably because martial artists and star beasts frequently destroy the city, that the technology of building materials in that world was quite advanced. All kinds of quick-drying materials were easy to use and sold cheap.

A few colleagues had already started to install the surveillance cameras. They did not know that the curator wanted to investigate the new mysterious martial artist.

Unfortunately, when a grandmaster used their power, they would disturb the surrounding magnetic fields. Any electronic equipment would be affected. No matter how good the surveillance cameras were, what use would they be?

“Yesterday, Gu Hai went to get his student ID card. In the end, he could not make it. Most likely, he went to find a woman.

“Even if this fellow does not die under the claws of the star beast, sooner or later, he will die because of a woman.”

Just as he walked out of the library’s door, Ye Xiao’s phone rang.

Seeing that familiar number, his face could not help but darken.

“Hello, Mr. Lu.”

“Ye Xiao, your son was arrested again. This time, it’s even worse. You better hurry and come over.”

“Got it.”

Ye Xiao sighed slightly and once again went to the Jianghai city garrison.

…

“Sir, I’m almost 66 years old, and he still took advantage of me. How am I supposed to live?”

…

The garrison hall was as noisy as usual. All kinds of strange things were common.
