"So you've been hiding out here ever since?" I asked N
"I have, and they haven't been doing so good for me. People think that my race has gone extinct, which is why I have been hiding so The Partygoers don't find me" N said
"But we can take you to the M.E.G, they can keep you safe" I said
"No. The Partygoers are stronger than you think. They're a ratio of 1 human to 3 Partygoers. We'll be outnumbered" N said
"Well maybe so, but that doesn't mean we can't try. You guys never lost the war, no one did. If you survived, then the war is still going on. If you have our help, then we can assure you that we will win this war, no matter the cost" I said
"But listen, I know more things about this place than anyone here in the Backrooms knows. I've studied it all my life, learning about The Party Host, The King, all of that!" N said
"Wait, who's The King?" I asked
"The so called king of The Backrooms, at least that's what he thinks himself as. I know a lot about him, and I think he could be our ticket out of here" N said
"But what about the war?" I asked "It's still going on. With our help you could win this"
"But we lost the last war in mere seconds, how do you think we'll win this one?" N asked
"Because we've been in situations like yours, so if you go down, then we go down with you" I said
"Alright then, lets do this then" N said
"Good" I said "Now lets get back to Level 1" I said
"But that'll take days Tom. We need a fast way" Randy said
"I think I may help with that" N said, and then he stood up from his seat and lead us out of the room, and across the classroom was an elevator. The elevator doors opened like an automatic door, and inside was not a standard number button system that a normal elevator had, but a numbered keypad that lets you type in a number, with minus and period symbols for negative and sub-layers. We walked in the elevator and saw this keypad, and was confused to this
"So what does this thing do?" I asked
"Type in a number, and this elevator will take you to any level in The Backrooms" N said
"Any level?" Randy asked
"Any" N said, and I had nothing but a smile on my face
"What's wrong Tom?" Reed asked
"Call the team" I said "No, call everyone!"
2 HOURS LATER
The entire team was now back in Level 1, but my journey wasn't over left. I walked around the base, seeing if there was anywhere that held record or something, but that was when something caught my eye. A small building with a sign on it which read Praetorium Scientia, in which must have meant something since Praetorium meant like hall or something. I walked inside, and in the building were many tall bookshelves, stretching over 10 feet tall and over 5 feet wide, each filled to the brim with an assortment of books, seeming to have the knowledge of everything in The Backrooms. Across from the entrance was a small reception desk, and behind it was an old man, seeming to be using the computer. I walked over to the man, seeing if he could help me
"Um, excuse me" I asked the man
"Can I help you?" The man asked
"Well yes, I need help locating a book" I said
"Which one?" The man asked
"Well um, do you have one on entities?" I asked
"Yes, check the 2nd bookshelf to your right" The man said
