Chapter 1036: Chapter 484: 4 Newcors Again_2
“…” The Mountain Man was silent for a mont, then spat out two words.
“Thank you…”
Watching the Mountain Man resolutely turning his back, Lin Yi knew he could no longer find out the Mountain Man’s purpose for constructing the Firen, but from the conversation between Director-040 and the Mountain Man, he understood he had already got the answer, though the details were beyond his reasoning now with these clues.
Lin Yi turned to look at Director-040 and asked, “Is what you said about the way to leave… true?”
Director-040 slowly nodded, “It’s true… but once past the School Doctor, there’s no getting past the Security Guard.”
Lin Yi’s mouth twitched fiercely. In his mind, a very realistic scene had already erged—pouring rain, the Mountain Man in exoskeleton armor standing at the edge of the school campus, and under the dim light, the exoskeleton armor’s visor vaguely highlighted the Security Guard’s destructive and oppressive body silhouette…
Director-040 paused for a mont and slowly said, “He’ll leave alive, even the Security Guard shouldn’t be able to stop him.”
Lin Yi looked at Director-040 in surprise, “You better an ‘can’t stop him,’ rather than ‘can’t kill him’…”
He could still differentiate between the oppressive feeling from the Security Guard and the Mountain Man, he always felt Director-040’s words had deeper anings, leaving vs. breaking through the Security Guard head-on, versus leaving while enduring the Security Guard’s attack alive, the result is the sa, but the process is vastly different.
Director-040 glanced at him, “The atmosphere has built up to this point, don’t break it.”
Then, she bore an elder sister-like calm expression, with deep eyes as if containing starlight, “No one can stop a heart already set afla for revenge…”
Lin Yi pressed his lips together, not breaking this “atmosphere,” silently shuffled his steps, preparing to return to the classroom.
“The girl Yuan Lijian spoke of is Zhang Lingzhen, the other one… is it you?”
Director-040 stared intently at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi showed a helpless bitter smile, “Please, even when imagining crazily, there should be a limit, I wasn’t even there at that ti!”
“You were not there? Then where were you?” Director-040 asked.
Lin Yi said, “I was at the Gymnasium!”
As soon as he said this, he saw Director-040 with a hint of a smile-not-smile expression.
His heart skipped a beat, silently thinking sothing’s wrong, not trapped into speaking!
Director-040 chuckled, “How do you know what ti I was referring to? Unless you knew early on.”
Lin Yi’s thoughts shifted rapidly, almost causing smoke to co out of his head, then decisively answered, “The tiline he joined the school is just like that, and the Firen must be used once constructed, so excluding his intentional concealnt of discovered secrets, intending to use them as bargaining chips to leave, the remaining ti can only be last night… and last night, before Old Mo ca to find , I was always at the Gymnasium!”
He spread his hands out and shrugged his shoulders.
Director-040 was fooled by Lin Yi’s extrely clear logical analysis, then smiled, “I know it’s not you, I was just teasing you.”
Lin Yi pouted, “I’m heading off now, going to rest for a bit, I must figure out how to get back to the dormitory to sleep later… I didn’t sleep yesterday, if I don’t sleep today I’ll hardly hold on.”
“You still plan to return to the dormitory?” Director-040 stopped him saying, “In this weather, are you risking your life?”
Lin Yi looked at her.
She realized an error, hastily letting go of Lin Yi’s hand.
Lin Yi said, “Teacher, don’t forget, soone like , staying overnight in the classroom is truly risking my life.”
“What about the Gymnasium?”
“No way.” Lin Yi shook his head and said, “I have a compelling reason to return to the dormitory.”
“Then I won’t ask you.” Director-040 said, “Asking further feels like forcing you to raise a flag… You go rest in the classroom first, just speaking of this weather, based on experience, there’s no chance of the rain stopping until tomorrow, let alone turning cloudy.”
“Alright then… Before you leave, best to see one last ti.”
Lin Yi smiled bitterly and touched the back of his head, “Don’t talk as if one of us is going to die…”
“Phooey phooey phooey, a dog’s mouth can’t spit ivory!” The Director said angrily, pretending to hit Lin Yi, “Joking like this and there’ll be nothing left to talk about!”
“No no no…” Lin Yi while shaking his hand retreated, and just as he was about to leave, Director-040 suddenly rembered sothing and suddenly called out to him.
“Wait a mont!”
Lin Yi stopped in his tracks, “Is there anything else you haven’t told ?”
Director-040 nodded, “Co back first.”
“Oh.” Lin Yi returned through the door, and closed it behind him.
Director-040 walked towards the desk as she spoke, “I was busy listening to you earlier, almost forgot to tell you, we have four newcors in our class.”
“Four newcors?” Lin Yi’s gaze flickered with a hint of surprise, “Arriving right before the abnormal weather erupted and entering the campus, quite interesting…”
“It wouldn’t be so dangerous as just official action? They’re from ‘God’s Domain’ sneaking in for a mission, right?”
“What do you think?” Director-040 asked, her eyes slightly strange, thinking you are yourself sent into the campus during abnormal weather eruption, how co when reasoning you put yourself on the opposite side?
Lin Yi imdiately said, “People from ‘God’s Domain’, right.”
Director-040 nodded, “The breath of those four people isn’t normal, and they didn’t give a code word, essentially ruling out the possibility of them being official special operations, most likely they are from ‘God’s Domain’.”
“If you see them, you can instantly tell them apart from Experience Students… They have a unique aura.”
“Like… the Mountain Man?”
“Like Yuan Lijian?” Director-040 froze.
Lin Yi explained, “An aura of ‘having been researched’.”
“…” Director-040 was speechless, didn’t expect Lin Yi’s perspective to be so peculiar, “That I don’t know…”
Speaking, she retrieved the folder, “Those four people, two n and two won, the older man is nad ‘Lu Zhao’, the younger one is nad ‘Jin Jiuyao’…”
“Nine Golden dicines? Why does that have a Korean vibe?”
“Korean vibe? What is a Korean vibe?” Director-040 was puzzled.
“It’s a reference to Kimchi Korea!” Lin Yi mimicked a tone, managed to squeeze out a pronunciation, “Sumi~da~”
Director-040 chuckled, then seriously said, “Lin Yi, your joke isn’t funny at all… That incident erupted in ’99, the City-State of Xiaohan was already gone, and we still have many with the surna Jin in Huaxia.”
Lin Yi explained, “Mainly that pronunciation sounds too similar… Speaking of which, Little Japan also ceased in ’99, Little Han’s side… did they also suffer an Alien Angel attack?”
Director-040 looked at him with a strange expression, “Didn’t you learn this segnt of history? The City-State of Xiaohan was obliterated by Nocturnal species!”
“Ah? Just Nocturnal species took down Little Han?” Lin Yi felt a bit surprised.
“This kind of historical common sense isn’t the focus of our discussion.” Director-040 continued, “Moreover, the two girls are twins, the more cold one is nad ‘Chen Bing’, the less cold one is ‘Chen Xue’.”
“Seems like these four are a team, I assud they ca to collect Ashes, but if there’s so other task it’s hard to say, since officials let them in, it ans they at least passed a round of ‘screening’.”
Lin Yi’s eyes lowered slightly, “What should I be wary of?”
“Conceal yourself well, until their purpose is clear, try not to engage in conflict with them.” Director-040 said, “Maybe they are official people after all?”
Lin Yi didn’t expect Director-040 to advise this, but nodded, “Alright, however, regardless of whose people they are, they better not obstruct my plans, otherwise… I don’t care who they are.”
