"Sealed in a dying state, and then surviving in that state until now."
"The black liquid on the well wall is his blood."
Lin Yi thought of that viscous black liquid like oil: "That little girl... it seems similar blood flows in her body!"
Tian Bufan said: "It’s the sa substance, with slight differences, but essentially not far apart."
"I see..." Lin Yi realized, "Then... what about the ’Divine Craftsman’? And Amon? Are they both our ’acquaintances’?"
Tian Bufan nodded slightly: "They are."
"Hiss—"
Lin Yi took another sharp breath.
Tian Bufan said: "Designer Amon... Divine Craftsman... They are death buddies, frequently busying themselves for a long ti due to the sparks that fly out from one’s mind, tinkering with so miraculous inventions and creations."
"There are many things in the Designer’s vault, and every piece of his design he treats as a treasure, but for the Divine Craftsman, his little storage room has never been locked."
"The Divine Craftsman... once taught you so forge knowledge, your knowledge of Extraordinary Creation and the subconscious way to morph Secret Marks into weapons are what he taught."
"Well, I thought that was an ability of the Sports Departnt..." Lin Yi rembered when Night Watchman-02 gave him the secret mark of the Sports Departnt and told him that he could morph that mark into various weapons. Although he later gave that mark to Wei Sang, he could still morph weapons at will, as if it had beco a habit.
Turns out it was because he had already learned from the Divine Craftsman, and earlier he was just awakening his muscle mory...
He then asked: "So, what do we do to rescue the Contractor from Ti Exile?"
Tian Bufan said: "We need to obtain the ’Lawmaker’s Words,’ and then return to that bedroom."
"Rest assured, leave this step to Kuai Kuai."
"Before Kuai Kuai reaches the Art Building, he takes the elevator to the Library to settle ’Lawmaker’s Words.’
"And we need to leap over the key items to him before Kuai Kuai acts."
Lin Yi realized: "Like when I leapt my notebook to Maozi?"
Tian Bufan said: "Exactly, just now in the Star Moon Night’s Star Road, the interference from the layer fluctuations was too great to easily settle, now in the Principal’s Office, you have the Ouroboros Ring, leaping the notebook completely is no big deal."
Lin Yi therefore asked: "Then what is that key item?"
"It’s this—" Tian Bufan reached out and touched the quietly displayed crystal ball on the desk, the mist was dreamlike.
"Star Dream Crystal?" Lin Yi was surprised.
Tian Bufan slowly said: "Just like you once learned so skills from the Divine Craftsman, Kuai Kuai also learned so skills from the Original Apostles."
"Could it be...?"
"That’s right." Tian Bufan affird, "Kuai Kuai learned Astronomy, Secret Rune Studies, etc., from the Astrologer."
"Although he’s not here, we can throw this crystal ball over to him."
"Can I do it?" Lin Yi self-doubted.
Tian Bufan said: "Of course not yet."
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, he thought for a mont, then tentatively asked: "Should I use ’Adaptation’ trait to enhance it again?"
"Exactly." Tian Bufan said, "First, smuggle your notebook over, with the Ouroboros Ring’s blessing, it should be enough now."
Lin Yi asked: "But I’ve never truly understood how to use the Ouroboros Ring, every ti I use it, it seems to jump out on its own."
Tian Bufan said: "The Ouroboros Ring itself is more like a ’passive skill’, mastering it is harder than using it."
"Its usability is extrely high, and the conditions are very stringent, but for those ’qualified to use it’, there’s almost no threshold."
"You now belong to the category of ’qualified trial users’, so don’t waste your efforts researching the Ouroboros Ring."
"Oh oh..." Lin Yi suddenly understood, though he still retained a few doubts, but those were deed ’unnecessary’, so he asked no more, instead, "Then what’s next?"
"Then, we can proceed to summon the Principal." Tian Bufan said.
"Alright—wait, hold on, what about the ’private tasks’?" Lin Yi quickly asked, "Weren’t we supposed to handle so private tasks first?"
Tian Bufan said: "Get this step done first, Maozi and I will handle the private tasks, if you’re done while we’re not, we’ll call you to join."
With that, Tian Bufan drifted down near the ground like a ghost, arriving beside Mao Feiyang: "Let’s stroll around first, and give Old Lin so personal space for his operation."
"Eh? You’re just leaving like this?" Lin Yi widened his eyes.
Mao Feiyang slyly smiled: "Not leaving, but more efficient use of ti, otherwise are we going to wait idly for you?"
Tian Bufan pointed to the chair behind the desk made of vine-like material, smiled: "You can sit on the chair and find the sensation, slowly ’channel power’, ti... no rush."
Lin Yi was actually a bit chaotic, Tian Bufan sotis says "rush", sotis "no rush", as if the ti scale in his mouth is a flexible baseline, adjustable whenever needed...
