"I don't have classes this afternoon. I'll help you look for them" With that said, Carly began darting between the bookshelves, eagerly searching for the books.

Ophelia gave her a brief glance, withdrew her gaze, and began searching for books herself.

Time slipped away quietly, accompanied by the soft rustle of turning pages.

None of the books Ophelia looked through had any useful information.

She wondered if maybe she was searching in the wrong direction

Carly said, "Ms. Spencer, take a look at this one."

A book with a dark red cover was handed to Ophelia. The color was like long-dried blood, creating a stifling feeling.

The book was titled "The Old Dellanex.

Just from the title and cover, it seemed more like a novel.

In fact, when Ophelia opened it, it turned out to be a novel.

The author went by the pen name Jason, and the protagonist was named Jake.

The story seemed to be set twenty to thirty years ago.

At that moment, her phone vibrated in her pocket.

Kenneth was calling, and she didn't dare ignore it.
