After pausing for a second, he gently landed on the ground of the corridor.
He gently patted Wei Shan’s shell, and the ashen substance on him returned entirely to Wei Shan’s body, like viscous tar.
Both of them returned to their normal appearance.
Lin Yi stood in place, looking at himself, dazed.
So things he hadn’t yet grasped, and now he needed to sort them out.
Wei Shan also said nothing, as if recovering his state at the original spot.
Mao Feiyang said nothing either, just quietly waiting for them both to co around.
But before they ca around, soone else had a problem...
...
On the platform by the corridor bridge of Teaching Building C Group, the five captains saw with their own eyes the charred ashes on Wei Shan’s body climbing onto Lin Yi, and their San values began to drop.
Every little detail that followed made their San value progressively decline.
They saw Wei Shan being stripped away from the ashes, and Lin Yi donning that "liquid armor," transforming into a humanoid ash figure.
They saw Lin Yi leap high, unlike humans, then his body beca more and more illusory, vanishing into the sky as if sinking into the depths of the ocean.
Then, they seed to see the sky crack open, revealing the corner of an iceberg-like silhouette of the black mist and "Primordial Ash Apostle."
At that mont, with just one glance, soone was lost in it.
What they saw was not the cracked sky, nor the "Primordial Ash Apostle," but the fragnts of devastation and reorganization within infinite events vast and boundless.
Every glass fragnt on the "Primordial Ash Apostle" refracted bizarre incidents, terrifying disasters, deaths of entire regions...
Within the colorful and splendid play of light and shadow, endless horrors were concealed, with even the slightest silhouette hiding an incomprehensible flow of information...
Seeing the "Primordial Ash Apostle" was akin to hearing Gauss, Newton, Einstein, and other milestone figures in physics whispering in your ear, not their teachings to you, but their murmured thoughts while pondering problems...
You completely fail to understand their thoughts, not to ntion infinite voices.
All you can comprehend is — your brain growing smarter, and that your brain is about to explode.
Among the captain’s group of five, even the two who were least perceptive had their rationality collapse at this instant.
Not to ntion Su Yao, the most perceptive, and those only second to her.
The collapse of cognition often happens at that very mont.
You do not understand, not a bit, that’s fine, the fear is in understanding partially, yet not fully, sinking deeper until overwheld and collapsed.
The contamination on the "Primordial Ash Apostle" affected various aspects of ti and space layers, not everyone was like Lin Yi possessing both "Great Foolishness as Wisdom" and "Great Wisdom as Folly," with just one quick glance, they couldn’t achieve effective cognition, or even instinctual cognitive overwrite, anchoring it in perception as humanoid.
Just when the five people’s wills began to sink, their bodies started becoming stiff, beginning to spread a layer of blue-gray sculpture-like texture, Lin Yi’s "kill" word fiercely tore through everything, engraving in their eyes.
As the word "kill" erged, the layers trembled and collapsed, the "Primordial Ash Apostle" and the black mist shivered and faded together, simultaneously severing the contamination connection between the captain’s group and the void!
The five were blessed by misfortune, the path that originally fell to the Yellow Springs was severed, bouncing them back to The Human World.
"Phew—"
The five stumbled and fell together, their stiff bodies improving only after quite so ti.
"Ah, stop pressing !" Su Yao yelled, the one with the best mind recovered first, hastily wriggling out of the pile.
"Ah, don’t step on my face, damn, I’m going to have top-tier lung trouble... spitting, spitting..."
The group of people chirped and scrambled to their feet, finally showing so liveliness belonging to the living.
And until they regained their senses, they abruptly realized what had happened, each with lingering fears looking toward Lin Yi.
"They... They..."
Suddenly, Su Yao’s pupils contracted harshly.
She saw Lin Yi smiling in their direction from the eighth floor of Teaching Building B Group.
At that mont, Su Yao’s hair stood on end, feeling cold all over, her scalp tingling.
"Living isn’t easy, leave the campus early, don’t co back for a while," Lin Yi said.
"Uh... okay..." What else could Su Yao say, she could only grit her teeth and nod in agreent.
At this ti, suddenly the captain’s voice sounded beside her, "Su Yao, Su Yao! What’s wrong with you, are you alright?"
She hurriedly ca to her senses, looking at the captain and saying, "No, I’m fine, it’s just that person told us to leave the campus early...."
The captain’s face changed dramatically hearing the words, "Who, where is anyone?!"
"It’s him..." before finishing the word, Su Yao’s expression changed, because Lin Yi had long disappeared.
"When did they leave?" she asked.
"I don’t know... when I ca to, they were already gone."
Su Yao’s mouth slightly opened, unsure what to say anymore.
"Then we..." Han Xuan began.
"Han Xuan, recontact the horoom teacher and inform the officials! Just say we can continue the mission, but the success rate cannot be guaranteed." The captain’s face was grim, due to a series of unexpected events, the very nature of the incident had shifted considerably, "The originally estimated mission success rate barely held the line of adequacy, we will report the variables truthfully, then... follow all arrangents."
