"What they call the origin is rely the ti when those things were reorganized and recorded."
"So things can’t be proven by a ’certificate’ on the table, nor can they be seized through a ’heritage application’... Heritage is just heritage, there’s no point in arguing about it."
"Originally, I just wanted to give you a simple introduction about the ’Black Moon Outpost’, but I ended up saying so much and went a bit off track." Tian Bufan shook his head slightly, "Let’s not waste ti and get back to the point... Let’s talk about why we’re here."
Although the ’Origin’ is worthy of ntion, it’s such a distant thing that talking about it feels like listening to a myth. Besides, in the current situation, the educational component outweighs everything else.
Ti is limited; there’s no need to say more.
"Uh... go ahead." Lin Yi shrank his neck; he was quite interested.
But, despite that, he knew what mattered. There’s plenty of ti for introductions outside the campus; the real purpose of being here is the focus. Those scenes where the ’killer is... uh, ah...’ were too many. If the education takes too long and leads to sleeping at midnight, it would be troubleso.
So he quickly continued to listen to Tian Bufan’s lecture.
Tian Bufan said: "For a long ti after the ’Black Moon Outpost’ was established, many things happened, which I’ll skip over... Later, the entire ’Black Moon Outpost’ was subrged into the layers, perishing with the invading Gray Mist."
"Now, here cos the main point."
"In year X999, the originally dormant Gray Mist once again seeped into the layers, causing a ’Revival’ event globally... The predecessor of this university was one of the infiltration points."
"At that ti, the Huaxia officials built the campus at a great cost and established contact with the ’Black Moon Outpost’, turning it into the ’Art Building’... You should already know all of this."
"Yes." Lin Yi nodded.
"What I want to talk about is what’s next." Tian Bufan said, "S City University has a ’Principal’, who has been stationed here since the campus’s inception and until its completion."
"To make it easier to understand, I’ll give you a taphor you can comprehend. He’s similar to the ’Lord of the Forbidden Land’ in a novel, sitting here, confronting the Gray Mist World."
"And the campus’s positioning lies here—" Tian Bufan finally got to the point. "The campus is one of the ’Walls of Mankind’ to resist the Gray Mist, a ’Stabilizing Needle’, and the principal is..."
"Sun Wukong?" Lin Yi blurted out instinctively.
Tian Bufan pouted: "... Ahem, it’s the dragon on the pillar..."
Lin Yi: "..."
"Cough." Tian Bufan cleared his throat, "These don’t matter anymore; in any case, as ti went on, the ’Principal’ left the campus for unknown reasons and entered the Gray Mist World."
"The departure of the ’Principal’ disrupted the balance of confrontation with the Gray Mist World, and this imbalance’s disaster level is undergoing a qualitative change over ti, leading to the current campus being on the brink of collapse."
"The officials couldn’t retrieve the ’Principal’, so they dispatched ’us’..."
Lin Yi’s eyes shone with a brilliant spark: "So we are essentially the official’s recognized... trump card?!"
He was inexplicably excited, feeling a sense of being flattered.
But he noticed that Tian Bufan’s expression was a bit strange.
"Uh... Is there sothing wrong?"
Tian Bufan slightly supported his forehead: "Listen to ..."
"The officials couldn’t directly retrieve the ’Principal’, so they sent us to the campus. Our goal isn’t to find the ’Principal’; the Gray Mist World is too dangerous. If we go in, who knows what will return..."
"Then...?" Lin Yi asked.
"According to official records, the ’Principal’ has a notebook..." Tian Bufan slowly said.
Notebook!
The principal’s notebook!
Lin Yi’s heart suddenly jumped.
[...The notebook is crucial...]
[...It’s the only clue...]
[Compass... Lost... Find...]
When the ’Original Type Primordial Ash Apostle’ appeared, the broken mutterings that accompanied the chanting and entered his ears, were they the principal’s words?!
[I, the principal, speak to the Gray Mist World!]
ssages appeared in his mind, rolling over and over, making him feel increasingly shuddered the more he thought about it.
"Notebook... Then what?" Lin Yi initially didn’t ntion what he just heard about the ’Original Type Primordial Ash Apostle’, and instead followed Tian Bufan’s words.
Tian Bufan said: "The principal has a notebook that reportedly records many experiences from the campus’s construction and onwards."
"The officials dispatched us with the goal of obtaining this notebook."
[The notebook is crucial, the only clue.]
Lin Yi’s mind once again recalled the ’Original Type Primordial Ash Apostle’s words.
"What exactly does this notebook record, no, I should ask, what does the official want to get from that notebook?" Lin Yi asked.
Tian Bufan shook his head: "That I don’t know..."
Really? I don’t believe it. Lin Yi almost blurted out these six words, but then he felt that these words seed a bit overbearing and annoying, so he swallowed them.
"Perhaps it contains clues related to the principal’s disappearance, or it might chronicle so special campus secrets, or perhaps... it’s a report written by soone at the principal’s level?" Tian Bufan added and glanced at Lin Yi’s notebook, "If it were you, what would you record in your notebook?"
"In my notebook... would be the information I discovered bit by bit, so information contradictory because new information has overridden previous errors..."
Tian Bufan smiled aningfully: "So, after all, what might be recorded in the notebook is... a certain ’Pathway’ perhaps?"
"Pathway?!" Lin Yi exclaid, "The principal’s pathway?"
"Who knows?" Tian Bufan said, "Or perhaps it’s a certain answer? In any case, at this mont, you don’t need to understand what that notebook is, just that the official information is, ’The principal’s notebook is related to the campus’s collapse.’"
"If we can find the principal’s notebook and take it out of the campus to give to the officials, then perhaps there’s a way to prevent the campus’s collapse."
Really? I don’t believe it... Although Tian Bufan spoke so earnestly, Lin Yi still felt sothing was off.
The campus’s collapse is due to the principal’s disappearance.
To prevent the campus’s collapse, the principal’s return is needed.
If the principal doesn’t return, what’s the use of having the notebook? Could it magically bring a principal back?
Wait!
Magically create...?!
A flash of lightning seed to pass through Lin Yi’s mind, and inspiration suddenly struck!
That day, Class Teacher-039 took off his uniform and removed his na badge before leaving.
So... could the notebook left behind by the principal before his disappearance be...
The "Principal’s" Identity Credential?!
If that’s the case, then what the officials want might not be the ’Principal’s Notebook’, but that ’Pathway’—’The Principal’s Pathway’!
"The principal’s notebook is the principal’s identity credential!" Lin Yi blurted out, "Because of the ’Principal’s’ disappearance, the officials want to recover the principal’s identity credential!"
"Obtaining the notebook ans obtaining the ’Principal’s’ ’Identity’!"
"But... if that’s the case, if we get the notebook, wouldn’t whoever among us who gets the notebook beco the ’Principal’?"
