Level -20

=Level -20: "Untrue Story"=
Level -20 is the 20th negative level of The Backrooms.
==Description==
Level -20 is a claustrophobic maze of bookshelves with numerous thin books on each. The bookshelves cannot be moved without any special technology, as if welded to the ground. The books seen on the shelves have correlations to children's books in the Frontrooms, using a similar cover design to the original counterpart, but with a strangely verbose title. There is a slightly damp, brown carpet covering the floor which can be ripped apart to reveal wooden floorboards underneath.
The books on the shelves of Level -20 are not to be read, since they have dangerous psychological effects. Every one of them contains a false story about the level's safety, somehow convincing any person who reads one that the level is perfectly safe. Someone who has read the story will attempt to convince others that the level is safe when they exit. For this reason, it is advised to make sure you know where you are headed when someone claims to be leading you to a "safe haven".
Rarely, one may come across a concrete wall with a door, leading to a short hallway that looks very grand in comparison to the main portion of the level. They are more brightly lit, and the bookshelves extend upwards farther than the ones in the main area. The bookshelves in a hallway, which are positioned on either side, contain much thicker books than the main area. 
These thicker books, however, are more dangerous than the thin books from the rest of the level, since they may contain a false story about the survival difficulty of any level, whether it be portrayed as easier or harder than the mentioned level actually is. Similarly to the thin books, any person who reads the thicker books will inevitably believe the lies contained within.
Every hallway has a light at the end of it, which usually fades back into the environment making up the majority of the level. However, the bright light has a chance of not fading away, and sending someone who walks into it to Level 11. There has also been a few recorded cases of the light fading into total darkness, sending a person walking through it to Level 6.
===Anomalies===
There have been several recorded instances of random anomalies that have occurred in the hallways. The reports of these events go as far back as 1999, and each individual event has only happened once. Reports of anomalies include, but are not limited to:
*Bookshelves shifting back and forth, sending books tumbling to the ground.
*A singular Hound suddenly appearing.
*Puddles of Liquid Pain seen on the floor.
*The light at the end fading into red, sending the wanderer who walked into it to an unknown level.
==Colonies and Outposts==
There are currently two rivaling groups in Level -20:
===The Librarians===
The Librarians are a group of people affected by the psychological effects of the books in Level -20. Instead of leaving the level to spread misinformation, they trick people into reading the books to gain more members. They occasionally fight with the Anti-Librarians (see below).
===The Anti-Librarians===
The Anti-Librarians are the enemies of the Librarians. They have about 80 members, and they stay in the level to tell people what to look for to get to an exit. They usually win the fights started by the Librarians.
==Entrances and Exits==
===Entrances===
*In Level -19, noclipping near a mercury waterfall will take you here.
===Exits===
*If you wander for long enough, you may come across a door similar to the ones that lead to the hallway, but with a "-21" crudely written above it. Entering this door will lead you to Level -21.
*When you are in a hallway, there is a chance you can get to Level 11 if the bright light at the end doesn't fade.
*If the light at the end of the hallway becomes pitch dark, then walking into it will send you to Level 6.
