Lin Yi was montarily speechless; he wanted to say, even if I don’t recognize it, can I not distinguish your voices? But sohow, he felt uncertain inside and ended the topic with a gruff voice.
"What ti is it now?" Tian Bufan saw the situation and wisely shifted the topic.
Lin Yi glanced at his watch and then exclaid in surprise, "It’s 7:15! We spent so much ti just now?!"
"Should we head straight back to the Teaching Building?"
Tian Bufan shook his head and said, "No, let’s go to the Cafeteria first and then return."
"To the Cafeteria first? But won’t ti be..." Lin Yi hesitated.
Tian Bufan said, "Ti isn’t the issue, and we can take a shortcut to the Cafeteria... You should be able to directly perceive the Layers now; once you lock onto the Cafeteria’s location, we can head straight there."
Lin Yi imdiately slapped his forehead, "What you said makes sense!"
"You’re just too straightforward sotis," Tian Bufan said, "When you’re not strong enough, rules are a form of protection, but now, they are a shackle."
"As long as they’re not about principles, treat them as a flexible baseline."
"Enough words, let’s move quickly."
Lin Yi pursed his lips, unfolded his visual field, thoroughly penetrated the layers, and saw the Cafeteria’s uniquely designed enormous corn, then decisively set off.
Along the way, he asked, "Is there a problem at the Cafeteria?"
Tian Bufan sneered, "Last night, we were attacked by a ’Burial Body’, not just a few roots, but almost a complete... that Burial Body."
"A complete Burial Body?! It left the Cafeteria?" Lin Yi exclaid.
Tian Bufan squinted his eyes, "Then we need to ask the Convenience Store Owner."
Kuai Hongji said, "He has his little tricks; I confronted him in the Gallery."
"It seems he’s still longing for the Principal’s position." Tian Bufan said, "To act beyond his authority... he has overstepped."
Kuai Hongji said, "Over the years, he developed that ’sprout’ in his heart."
"For a person like him, that’s not a good thing," Tian Bufan said deeply, "Never forget who he really is."
Lin Yi heard it in a daze, "That Convenience Store Owner... do you know his true identity? So, who is he exactly?"
Wow, you guys!
They really are acting masters; discussing the Convenience Store Owner’s identity so seriously, now it seems you’ve been aware of his background all along. Was I just playing pretend back then?
Tian Bufan thought for a mont and said, "Alright... now that you know this secret, it’s not too early."
"The Convenience Store Owner... is actually the previous ’Night Watcher-01’."
Lin Yi widened his mouth, "The previous bearer of the Ti Compass ’Ti Zero’?! What about the Library Director...?"
"He’s one too," Kuai Hongji continued, "Since I know the previous ’Night Watcher-01’ beca the Convenience Store Owner, I told you I wasn’t sure which ’Night Watcher-01’ the Library Director really is..."
"What’s certain is that they’ve both been affected by ’Ti’ and started touching powers beyond their original reach."
"Wait wait wait... although you guys are explaining clearly, I’m feeling a bit confused, let sort it out..." Lin Yi pushed his hands, trying to build a Transformation Pathway in his mind.
The Starting Point of this pathway is the ’Mourner’.
Knowing the predecessor of ’Night Watchman’ is indeed the ’Mourner’, what he knows now is that the ’Mourner’ lineage originated from the inspiration ’Designer’ Amon and ’Divine Craftsman’ Ayin got from the World Tree, cultivated into a group by the Heroic Spirit Hall.
Due to the flash of mory fragnts, he doesn’t know the origin of the Heroic Spirit Hall, but roughly guesses it has so connection to Amon, given how many magical or netherworldly things are always related to him.
So at first, after the Black Moon Blood Calamity, ’Mourners’ beca ’Night Watchn’ of the Black Moon Outpost, and because the ’Original Apostles’ disappeared without a trace, the Heroic Spirit Hall stopped cultivating ’Mourners’, thus not producing new ’Night Watchn’ either.
Then, the original ’Night Watchn’ dwindled over countless years, and ’Night Watchn’ who hold the three high-grade Extraordinary Creations are assigned serial numbers ’01’, ’02’, ’03’...
These three ’Night Watchn’ have great missions, and their lineages continue, until now, only two Night Watchn remain in the entire campus.
Moreover, forr Night Watchn actually held other positions within the campus after "retirent"...
For instance, a previous ’Night Watcher-01’ beca the ’Library Director’, and the most recent ’Night Watcher-01’ beca the ’Convenience Store Owner’.
But worth noting, the ’Night Watcher-01’ turned ’Library Director’ must be extrely ancient because he imdiately perceived Kuai Hongji and their existence and identity, which others couldn’t accomplish.
Like the Convenience Store Owner, when facing them directly, he didn’t notice anything unusual, showing a stark contrast to the Library Director’s perceptive ability.
Therefore, the official control of the campus relies entirely on the ’Principal’s’ stance; based on this, they arranged various staff into the campus, cooperating with the ’Principal’, maintaining the campus’s apparent stability while conducting research on Extraordinary Material.
