Secondly, Ah-Gui had already been burned to ashes, and his will had begun to return. Even if the Fireman really left sothing behind, he couldn’t perform an "autopsy."
Moreover, he also had to adhere to Tian Bufan’s instructions—under no circumstances could the entity itself go to the 5th floor.
Tian Bufan rarely gave orders, so this red line was sothing he absolutely could not cross.
With only one willpower left, it’s already too late to escape, so why bother with other things?
Ridiculous.
Class Teacher-040 stroked his chin: "So, this point of doubt, we can’t discuss it right now, can we?"
"Yes," Lin Yi nodded, "But since the Mountain Man ca to see you before leaving, I think maybe you can ask him..."
"Do you think he will talk?" Class Teacher-040 asked back.
Lin Yi said, "The point is not whether he talks or not, but what he says. As long as he speaks, we have the possibility of inference."
Class Teacher-040 pondered for a mont, then nodded slightly: "Alright."
Saying this, Lin Yi glanced at the ti.
14:55.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but squint his eyes. Everyone who’s attended school knows that once the ti surpasses three in the afternoon, it ans the sun starts to set.
Ti was running out as dusk approached, and he didn’t know if the weather could improve... Thinking of this, Lin Yi wore a troubled expression and sighed softly.
He walked to the door.
"Are you leaving?" Class Teacher-040’s voice sounded from behind him.
Lin Yi nodded: "It’s almost ti. If there are new discoveries, we can communicate again?"
"Hmm... alright..." Class Teacher-040 nodded slightly.
Lin Yi then reached out to grab the doorknob, but just as he opened the door, the breath inside and outside the office suddenly exchanged, and his expression abruptly changed!
At the doorway of the Teacher’s Office stood a presence that felt familiar to him!
Lin Yi’s movent stiffened, but he still slowly opened the door.
A Mountain Man clad in exoskeleton armor stood solemnly at the entrance of the office.
...
May 10, X023, 14:55, Teaching Building B.
At the ti of three in the afternoon, the streetlights on campus hadn’t lit up yet, but the entire world was already dim as if it were night.
The world seed covered by a water-soaked sponge, with no light visible under the somber sky, and dense raindrops like threads filled the entire world.
"Whush, whush—whush, whush—"
Rainfall hit the uneven ground, and the splashed water droplets made the ground look like it was covered with a pressure board.
Milky-white mist, like tentacles, drifted out of the Green Forest Belt, creeping inch by inch toward the Teaching Building.
In this dark, drowsy environnt, the Mountain Man at the entrance of the Teacher’s Office "B Group 2 Class" seed to be the only source of light.
The Mountain Man’s exoskeleton armor seed to have transford. The chanical arms, once exaggeratedly large like a gorilla’s, shrank to normal size, and the armor-like exoskeleton that expanded outside had fitted snugly to the body, appearing more like a normal human’s size.
The exoskeleton armor harbored light strips emanating a faint green glow, making him appear like a luminescent Kan Rider Faiz standing there.
Rainwater cascaded down his armor, cloaking him in a sparkling curtain of water, and his tall, erect figure made the exoskeleton armor exude a mysterious tallic luster in the dim light, as if a warrior who had traversed from the future, incongruent with the entire campus.
Indeed, if rely observing the exterior, he wouldn’t have recognized this passing Kan Rider as the Mountain Man. However, given his perception, more sensitive than a dog’s nose, just perceiving that familiar breath confird the Mountain Man inside the armor.
Of course, there’s another reason.
Though the exoskeleton armor had transford to fit the body more closely, the light strip’s linear character hadn’t changed. The glow rely seed to tighten, switching from a previous blue to this current ghostly green.
Such a silhouette appeared strikingly prominent in this awful weather.
The howling wind whipped the mist more wantonly and intensely, and the Mountain Man’s face was obscured in the armor’s shadows, leaving his expression unreadable, but his steady stance and unwavering aura conveyed a strong sense of oppression to Lin Yi.
"You..." Lin Yi hadn’t finished speaking when Class Teacher-040, sensing sothing unusual behind him, hastened to his side.
"What’s wrong?" As she arrived at the doorway, she noticed the Mountain Man’s presence.
One hand instinctually pulled Lin Yi behind her, while the other reached to her waist to summon the Secret Rune Dagger, her gaze cautiously fixed on the Mountain Man.
Under her teacher’s uniform, the battle suit had quietly integrated.
Fluid reaction in a brief mont, she seamlessly switched from a "Horoom teacher" to her "Execution Officer" identity.
In this state, even if Lin Yi attacked, he’d likely take two stabs.
"Don’t be tense... it’s , Yuan Lijian, Student ID number ’X0230508132’..." The voice of the Mountain Man emanated from the "Kan Rider," and a light flickered inside the faceplate, highlighting the Mountain Man’s face red-tinged by the ghostly green glow, like a fleeting phantom.
Speaking, he glanced at Lin Yi. When heading to the 5th floor of the Teaching Building earlier, he had seen Lin Yi at the stairwell doorway of Building C on the 4th floor. He was sowhat surprised at seeing soone from his class in Building C but had too many matters on his hands to give it heed then. Now seeing again, naturally, warranted another glance.
Yet it was just a brief glance, as he then completely ignored Lin Yi to focus on Class Teacher-040.
"I won’t be entering the office."
"My plan is half-successful, but unfortunately... or maybe predictably, what should have happened occurred; I got contaminated, and for a brief period, this armor shouldered the ’Ashes,’ so... I won’t be entering the office, nor returning to the subsequent classrooms."
"I will soon be leaving the campus to complete my unfinished business. Before departing, I ca to say goodbye to you and share so of my latest findings as repaynt."
On hearing this, a subtle light flickered in Class Teacher-040’s eyes, but soon, she sneered: "Bidding farewell and sharing are false, trading is true, right?"
Class Teacher-040 wasn’t stupid. Knowing the Mountain Man’s style, would he need to co and say "goodbye" intentionally?
Lin Yi also picked up on the implication in the Mountain Man’s words, which should an—I’m leaving but need your help for sothing. As repaynt, I’ll share so of my latest discoveries.
The Mountain Man chuckled: "Think what you want... how about lending a hand since we’ve cooperated?"
Class Teacher-040 caught onto his intent: "Leaving campus through my ans, there’s no chance."
The Mountain Man, hearing this, suddenly bore a bit of resentnt in his tone: "’The Horoom Teacher’ can bypass the Student Code to send people to the Gymnasium or Art Building, and they can’t bypass it to escort to the gate?"
Lin Yi’s ears perked up, feeling he’d overheard sothing significant, igniting his spirit.
Class Teacher-040 shrugged, seemingly stating a simple fact: "In the campus more can be managed by ’The Horoom Teacher,’ yet it doesn’t an bypassing the Code, no one surpasses the Code. Want to leave campus, you’ll face seeing the School Doctor, especially in your state... you simply can’t leave the campus."
Silently listening, Lin Yi recollected the scene arranged by Class Teacher-039 for Li Huiyuan.
Class Teacher-039 had indeed directed Li Huiyuan to the Gymnasium directly, but this didn’t an Li Huiyuan hadn’t seen the School Doctor.
According to Li Huiyuan’s account, upon reaching the Gymnasium, she still encountered the School Doctor, so Class Teacher-040’s words were not deceiving the Mountain Man; she truly couldn’t bypass the Code.
