Capítulo 1316: Chapter 624: So Things Aren’t Always What You Think
Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask, “Can you tell what the so-called branch mission is exactly?”
“Not right now.”
“Then can you tell the honorable na of that corpse?”
“No, I can’t.”
“Ah, co on! It’s already the sixth day! Tomorrow we’re going to start the process of leaving school, and you’re still keeping secrets from ?” Lin Yi was speechless.
Tian Bufan said, “Once we’re in the ‘Principal’s Office,’ settle the notes first, then I’ll tell you about this matter.”
“Alright then…” Lin Yi compromised, though he was sowhat puzzled; what kind of existence is it that he can’t even whisper its honorable na?
How did that terrifying ‘Original Apostles’ end up being killed by the ‘Contractor’ and thrown into the deep well?
Seemingly sensing Lin Yi’s doubts, Tian Bufan slowly spoke, “Not telling you the honorable na is because it would be more harmful than beneficial to you right now.”
“As for ‘her’ killing it… Old Lin, so things aren’t necessarily as you have co to understand them.”
“In the distant past, even after going through layers of records till today, perhaps just a deviation of one or two words in retelling would lead to completely skewing the truth.”
Lin Yi was startled: “You’re saying… that the original legend might have hidden truths?”
“Old Lin, oh Old Lin…” Tian Bufan sighed gently before advising, “You have to eat one bite at a ti, and take steps one at a ti.”
“Knowing too much now might distract you, and besides… your current level of ‘adaptation’ isn’t enough to bear those burdens yet…”
“Alright… let’s complete the task first.” Lin Yi, although eager to know more, had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
…
May 11, X023, 21:46, sowhere in the corridor area of the Art Building.
Due to being a will body, Lin Yi’s traversal speed far surpassed that of a physical body, and after leaving the deep well, he quickly reached the corridor below the Bell Tower and skillfully arrived at the gallery.
And as he left the stairway of the Bell Tower, Lin Yi indeed sensed an intention wave from ‘Night Watchman-02,’ but as Tian Bufan had anticipated, due to the existence of that thin mbrane, ‘Night Watchman-02’ genuinely did not notice his presence.
He looked down at his watch—his watch was truly magical and bizarre, as if it were bound to his will, not only traversing along with his dream but still appearing on his wrist even in this situation.
The ti on his wrist was 21:46, aning, from the start of his will transition till now, he’d taken about 30 minutes to arrive at the Art Building Layer.
This speed was multiple tis faster than when Old Mo first moved him.
As his will traversed through the gallery, the mist deeply enveloped the entire gallery like towering mountains, affecting his progress.
“Why has this gallery changed?” Lin Yi exclaid in surprise, “It wasn’t like this last ti I visited.”
Tian Bufan revealed the truth in one sentence, “It’s not that the gallery’s appearance has changed; rather, your perception of it has changed. You are seeing it on the map level now, just like the area above the 5th floor of the Teaching Building.”
“Perception depth? I see…” Lin Yi realized, suddenly shocked, “Does this an I’m more likely to encounter that little girl now?”
Tian Bufan sneered, “She gave you sothing that helped you countless tis, yet you always held the original prejudice against her… is this what they call ‘initial eting disaster’?”
“Uh…” Lin Yi was stumped for a while, showing signs of defenselessness, but then hastily recalled, “No, although the Secret Pattern Steel Saw was indeed handy, but at the very beginning of the incident, she suddenly appeared and sawed at my arm for a bit. That’s when the secret pattern got imprinted!”
Tian Bufan remained silent.
“Right? I’m not wrong, am I? It’s not that I hold a grudge; I really benefited from disaster.”
“If you believe so, then perhaps that’s how it is.” Tian Bufan said.
“Hey, Young Master Tian, why do I get a feeling you don’t want to talk?”
“It’s because whatever I say seems like I’m making excuses for her.”
“Uh…” Lin Yi paused to think, deciding to hear multiple opinions, he said, “Would you try defending her?”
“…” Tian Bufan was at a loss for words montarily, then replied, “I’ll just say one thing… only one thing. You ntioned, what if her sawing your arm was to imprint the secret pattern onto your hand?”
He stopped speaking there, leaving Lin Yi pondering alone.
What Tian Bufan said… seems to, perhaps… have so truth to it…
Why is Lin Yi’s mindset wavering so uncertainly?
Because he recalled and realized that Tian Bufan’s words might truly be valid.
When his will sank into layers, there were only two things accompanying him: one was his seemingly “innate” inherited quartz watch, and the other was the Secret Pattern Steel Saw.
No matter when, he could summon the Secret Pattern Steel Saw!
The little girl not only imprinted that golden secret mark onto his past Bone Golden Body but more like… embedded it into his module, similar to how Adamantium is to Wolverine.
“When you say it like this… it seems there might be so truth to it…” Lin Yi thought deeply.
And then, he blindly traversed through the gallery.
He didn’t encounter the little girl.
Remarkably, this ti, even the jumping notes of ‘Amon’s Music Box’ didn’t occur.
As he exited the gallery, despite feeling like he wandered a long ti, upon checking the ti, only two minutes had actually passed.
21:48.
Not yet reaching the ti when entry to the Dormitory Building is forbidden.
“Right, Young Master Tian, isn’t Kuai Kuai not back in the dorm at this ti?”
“Yes, he’s hanging around the corridor and has to wait till 22:20 to follow the Dormitory Building Rules to go to the Dormitory Managent Office,” Tian Bufan said, “Why did you suddenly think of asking?”
“Just thought about it montarily, no particular reason,” Lin Yi replied.
While speaking, Lin Yi suddenly noticed so Art Students ahead.
At this mont, he was already traversing through the corridor of the Art Building, heading toward ‘Art Classroom-IV’ where Mao Feiyang was.
Along his way, he encountered a group of Art Students head-on.
Even before approaching, Lin Yi’s perception tentacles had already spread wide, instantly capturing their situation entirely.
The corridors of the Art Building were bustling; Art Students progressed in an orderly fashion, each carrying a drawing board and holding paintbrushes and paint.
“They are probably going to counter the Grey Mist Invasion to help stabilize the layer of the Art Building…” Lin Yi’s heart suddenly felt a pang, acknowledging these Art Students as sacrificial warriors; how many would be lost tonight…?
Within mysterious creatures resides the ‘Mist Chasing Light Seeker,’ while the Black Moon Outpost is filled with nurous ‘Sacrificial Warriors.’
Truly poignant…
Lin Yi’s will floated above them, constantly traversing through the corridors of the Art Building.
As he passed by the candlestick on the stone pillar, the fla that was quietly burning suddenly flickered as if blown by the wind, but soon gradually returned to tranquility…
Finally, he arrived at ‘Art Classroom-IV,’ and took the opportunity as so Art Students were leaving the door to silently float inside.
Most of the Art Students inside the classroom lingered in line picking drawing boards, while a few stayed in the classroom seated on oversized steps akin to open-air European opera theaters, either admiring classroom reliefs or engaging in personal affairs.
These Art Students were just like initial-stage Sports Students; the current battle wasn’t yet theirs to join.
