The crimson moon record

After visiting the doctor, Ying Yue finally returned home.

The doctor had blamed her condition on stress and lack of sleep. Although she wasn't fully convinced, she decided to follow his advice and get some rest.

After lunch, she spent the afternoon lying in bed.

When evening arrived, Ying Yue sat in front of her computer.

A notification from the National Art Competition suddenly caught her attention.

The competition was one of the most prestigious events for young artists across the country.

The winner would receive a scholarship and an opportunity to exhibit their work in a famous gallery.

Ying Yue stared at the screen thoughtfully.

"I still haven't decided on a theme..."

She opened several tabs and searched for inspiration.

However, none of the ideas interested her.

Then, without realizing it, her thoughts drifted back to the strange dreams.

The blood-red moon.

The mountain.

Junjie.

Lu Xia Xia.

And the mysterious book.

A sudden thought appeared in her mind.

"What if I use that as my theme?"

The more she thought about it, the more interested she became.

The mystery surrounding the book had been haunting her for weeks.

Perhaps turning it into an artwork would help her understand it better.

Excited by the idea, Ying Yue searched for information about the book online.

To her surprise, very little information existed.

Most websites only mentioned an ancient book called The Crimson Moon Record. According to several sources, one of the few remaining copies was rumored to be stored in a historical library on the other side of the city.

Ying Yue quickly wrote down the address.

The next morning, after breakfast, she packed her sketchbook into her bag.

"Where are you going?" her grandmother asked.

"To the library," Ying Yue replied.

"I need to do some research for the competition."

Her grandmother nodded.

"Don't forget to eat lunch."

"I won't."

After saying goodbye, Ying Yue left the house.

After nearly an hour of traveling, she finally arrived at the library.

The building looked ancient. Tall shelves filled with countless books stretched as far as the eye could see.

Ying Yue walked to the front desk and took out her phone.

"Excuse me," she said politely.

The librarian looked up.

"How may I help you?"

Ying Yue showed him a picture on her phone.

"I'm looking for a book called The Crimson Moon Record. I heard there might be a copy here."

The librarian adjusted his glasses and stared at the screen.

For a brief moment, a strange expression crossed his face.

"Yes," he finally said. "We do have that book."

Ying Yue's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

The librarian nodded.

"However, it's a very old book."

"Can I borrow it?"

"I'm afraid not."

Ying Yue frowned.

"Why?"

"Because you'll have to find it yourself."

She blinked in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

The librarian pointed toward a distant hallway lined with towering shelves.

"The book is somewhere in our archive section. Over the years, its exact location has been forgotten."

"So the library owns the book, but nobody knows where it is
