The Paradox- Library Round

Before I could blink my eye, I had a butt-load of books in my hand and I was walking towards a table. Instinctively I kept the books on the table. The girl appeared in front of me. She said, “Find the oldest Bible in the library in 20 seconds.” She vanished after giving me a heart attack.

It was impossible to locate a 1000 year old book from a library which had over a million books. Instinctively I ran towards the librarian. He said, “We don’t keep old books at display. Follow me.” He took me through a narrow passage and we reached a big room full of old books. He slowly started checking each book not ruining the cover of any book.  I had very less time.

I knocked him out and threw every book on the ground and then hurriedly searched for the oldest book. There it was lying innocently alone in the dark side of the room. Fortunately my eyes caught it. I ran towards the book and after holding it I said loudly, “I found it.” The timer did not stop.

The correct choice

I checked the book. It read re-published. I was shocked. With less than 5 seconds left on the clock I went for the last try. I hurriedly went through the book shelves. All of them were empty. One of them looked pretty old and broken. I ran towards it and smashed it with one of the books. Inside there was an old book. With a sigh of relief I pulled it out and said, “I did it.” The timer stopped with 1 second remaining.

A voice said, “Well done, you’ve won this level. Level up!” I vanished again…

Stay tuned for more crisp…
