Back at the main entrance, inside the Security Room.

Jiang Ran told Security Captain Xiang Shanfeng about the suspected deranged killer appearing in the library.

Security Captain Xiang Shanfeng was also a cunning one, he made phone calls to notify the two building managers.

He couldn't bear the risk alone.

After receiving the news, the two managers discussed it with each other.

They told Security Captain Xiang Shanfeng to take the remaining three security guards and head to the library for rescue first.

So now, in the middle of the night, Security Captain Xiang Shanfeng was frantically blowing up the phones of those three new security guards with relentless calls.

Soon, Zeng Yan and Zhang Wei were both reached.

But Xue Kai's phone remained unanswered for a long time.

Jiang Ran and the Green-haired Guy weren't anxious either, they just waited there.

The two of them never once considered that their delay might cause one more person to be killed.

At this moment, both of them were probably thinking, better others die than themselves.

Ten minutes later.

Zeng Yan and Zhang Wei arrived first.

Because it was sudden, they hadn't put on their security uniforms.

Under normal circumstances.

It was already the middle of the night.

Being suddenly called in to work, especially when it wasn't even working hours.

The two of them could have completely refused, but neither of them did.

Zeng Yan came because he had dropped out of school early and had been working for several years, he understood the ins and outs of workplace politics.

Although he could refuse, he was afraid that if he didn't show up this time, the higher-ups would make things difficult for him later.

Zhang Wei came purely because he had only been on the job for a few days and wanted to make a good impression, plus he had just graduated from college, full of drive and energy.

Seeing that two people had already arrived, Jiang Ran asked Zhang Wei, "What about your friend?"

Zhang Wei shook his head, "I sent him a message but he didn't reply, though he should probably still come!"

At this time, Building No. 2, first floor, the manager's single room.

The manager's single room was much bigger than the security guards' single rooms.

Therefore, the bed was also much bigger.

The security single room had just a single bed.

But the manager's single room had a double bed, easily accommodating two people lying down.

At this moment, Manager Wu Meiling was lying in bed, her body covered by the covers, head sticking out with her eyes open, watching Xue Kai who was getting dressed.

She said, "You really don't have to go. You can refuse yourself, and I can also refuse on your behalf. After all, I'm the building manager, I still have that authority."

Xue Kai finished dressing and smiled, "That won't do. My brother Zhang Wei already went, and from what you said on the phone, there's some deranged killer over there. I can't rest easy with Zhang Wei going alone."

Manager Wu Meiling, "Didn't expect you to be such a loyal person."

Xue Kai was about to leave, but before leaving, he said, "People aren't animals, and even animals value loyalty, repaying kindness with kindness. So, I don't want to be worse than an animal myself."

Xue Kai arrived 5 minutes after Zeng Yan and Zhang Wei had gotten there.

After he arrived, Security Captain Xiang Shanfeng, seeing that everyone was present.

Began distributing weapons.

Of course, the weapons here were just for the security guards, not real weapons.

Just as they were about to distribute the weapons, another person came.

It was Yang Qi, the night owl.

It turned out that Yang Qi, every day without fail, stayed up late on the rooftop of Building No. 2, drinking coffee. Then he noticed the situation over by the main entrance, and so came down to check.

After learning about the situation here, Yang Qi said he wanted to help too.

Seeing another person come to help, Jiang Ran was naturally overjoyed.

More hands make lighter work!

And so, next, they began distributing the gear.

The six people, including Jiang Ran, each received the following equipment:

Anti-riot helmet, stab-proof vest, cut-resistant gloves.

High-intensity flashlight.

Anti-riot shield, anti-riot steel fork, high-intensity flashlight, rubber baton.

Essentially, the complete eight-piece riot control set.

And all six people had this complete set of equipment.

Alice Apartment still had over a dozen sets of this security gear, because back in the day, Alice Apartment had a full 20 security guards including the captain, so naturally the equipment was fully stocked.

Therefore, gearing up Jiang Ran and the others was easy.

After putting on the equipment, these people prepared to head out and rescue the library.

Security Captain Xiang Shanfeng didn't go, his reason being to guard the main entrance.

Jiang Ran didn't bother arguing with him either, because they already had six people on their side, fully armed.

Whether you added one more security captain or not, it didn't matter.

...

Over at the library.

The man in his thirties was searching the second floor.

The Monkey King Mask Man was on the third floor, holding a red fire axe in his hand as he searched the third floor.

While searching, this person was singing songs from his mouth:

"Monkey Bro! Monkey Bro! You're truly remarkable, the Five Elements Mountain couldn't hold you down, you leaped out as the Monkey King... (Journey to the West animated series)"

"Teasing demons, playing with monsters, your Golden Cudgel settles right and wrong, your fiery golden eyes see through the world, blink once, no frown... (Monkey King animated series)"

After singing a few songs about Sun Wukong from cartoons or TV dramas.

His mouth began singing various childhood theme songs:

"When the first light of dawn arrives, burning passion is ignited... (Talking Tom and Friends)"

"I'd rather believe love will never vanish, who can erase those ancient legends... (Dinosaur King)"

"Running through the crowd, I can't see, occasionally spinning in circles with loneliness in place... (Weapons of the Gods)"

"The scenery repeating before my eyes, gradually blurring the promises... (Stardust)"

"Go game youth, enduring hardships and trials... (Go Boy)"

The Monkey King Mask Man's mouth continuously sang various childhood animated songs.

After finishing those, he shouted loudly:

"I'm about the same age as you guys, at most five or six, seven or eight years older."

"I wonder if you've heard any of these songs I'm singing?"

"Don't you want to come out and sing with me?"

"I know you're hiding on the third floor, come out, I'm a good person, I won't lay a hand on you."

"Let's look back on our childhood together, relive those memories."

"Isn't that great?"

That's what the Monkey King Mask Man's mouth was saying, but behind the mask, his face was twisting wildly, and beneath the mask, his eyes gleamed with a fierce light.

"A few little cuties, where have you hidden yourselves?"

Every time the Monkey King Mask Man reached a dark place on the third floor, he would first turn on the lights.

Every time he turned on the lights, there was no one to be seen.

Finally, he reached a wall and saw that it was piled with many chairs and books.

Looking up, the purpose of the chairs and books stacked upward - was an air vent.

That air vent was at the very top of the wall.

Its width was enough for an adult to pass through.

"Hiss... escaped through here? I never thought of this escape route!"

"Damn it!"

At this moment, the Monkey King Mask Man stood before this wall, extremely regretful. He pulled out his phone from his pocket.

Fiddled with it for a bit, then put it to his ear, as if he was about to call someone.

And just at that moment.

Suddenly, two dark shadows appeared behind him.

Each of the two shadows held a chair in their hands, and both chairs smashed simultaneously toward the back of the Monkey King Mask Man's head and his back.
