Capítulo 1464: Chapter 696: Compassion (Part 2)
As the official main team, absolute obedience is necessary, but tily reporting of the real situation also helps the command at the rear to assess the risks, thus adjusting the plan and devising the best counterasures.
They are official people, and the official people are the only ones within the school district who can communicate with the outside world.
…
On the other side, when the captain and the group decisively abandoned the insurance strategy, Lin Yi and the other two did not actually go far, they just retreated a bit, leaving their line of sight.
“You really are quite compassionate, Old Lin.” Tian Bufan walked out from the staircase.
He did not co from the eighth-floor Corridor Bridge but hurried from other floors to group B and then went up to the eighth floor via the stairs.
“The official people have been quite polite to us, so let’s take care of them a bit…” Lin Yi sighed.
Tian Bufan said: “Have you considered that your compassion may not be redemption, but could also be a deeper lurking contamination?”
“re mortals, once peeking into a corner of the Heaven Palace, rarely return.”
“Look at this world, covered with ashes scattered by the ‘Primordial Ash Apostles,’ and plus they’ve seen it with their own eyes… So fundantally, they have already been tainted by the ashes, just lacking an activation opportunity to ignite and burn themselves.”
Lin Yi’s expression changed drastically: “Wouldn’t letting them leave the school district be extrely dangerous to the outside world? Are we any different from killing them?”
“How’s that any different from letting them run thirty-nine ters first?” Tian Bufan said speechlessly, “When I ca over from group C, I casually removed the bit of ashes they were contaminated with, such small tactics, for us nowadays, are like flipping hands.”
Lin Yi then sighed in relief.
“You’re still too lenient.” Kuai Hongji’s voice sounded, as he also ca over from building A, “We still lack a lot of fuel, if it were , I wouldn’t give up on these five logs I picked up from the roadside.”
Five logs… Lin Yi’s lips couldn’t help but twitch.
Tian Bufan said: “Every zealot on that side is more useful than them, we don’t need them, just leave so for the official team, it’s not easy to groom a few seedlings, taking them along with the chives is too heart-wrenching.”
“Alright, alright…” Kuai Hongji waved his hand, “I really don’t look up to these… In consideration of their politeness, I’ll leave it to you.”
After a few exchanged pleasantries, Lin Yi finally rembered the earlier matters and said: “What’s with the ‘Primordial Ash Apostle’ now? We jumped over and hit it once, does it affect the ‘Principal’?”
Wei Shan said: “I felt it was locking onto us, that’s why I acted.”
“I can perceive that you seem to have severed so kind of connection?” Lin Yi said.
Wei Shan shook his head: “It’s not that kind of causality, I indeed severed its lock on us, but it had already found our location, I jumped over not to disconnect this, but because I also discovered sothing, I knew… I had to go.”
“What thing?” Lin Yi asked in confusion.
Wei Shan slowly spat out three words: “Spinal bone.”
“Spinal bone?!” Lin Yi was stunned, montarily unable to react.
Tian Bufan said: “‘Butcher’s’ spinal bone.”
After a pause, he continued: “Rember when we returned from the Gray Mist Sea, we first arrived at the anchor platform built with red lampposts?”
“Uh-huh.” Lin Yi nodded, “What’s the connection between that and the ‘Butcher’s’ spinal bone? Wasn’t that platform dismantled?”
Tian Bufan said: “I threw a section of the ‘Butcher’s’ spinal bone there, once the ‘Fog Language Master’ tries to return using the ‘Principal’s’ strength, it’ll pass through that anchor point, and the ‘Butcher’s’ power will burst forth, giving it a head-on blow.”
“Such a blow would be enough to kill the ‘Principal,’ and simultaneously obliterate the will of the ‘Fog Language Master’ residing within the ‘Principal’s’ body.”
“Kill the principal?!” Lin Yi was shocked and couldn’t close his mouth.
Tian Bufan said: “But our goal isn’t to kill the principal, it’s to ultimately provide him with a return beacon, and this beacon… was ford into a closed loop when Wei Sang acted just now.”
Lin Yi’s pupils slightly contracted: “You an…?!”
Tian Bufan said: “Wei Sang also carries a section of the ‘Butcher’s’ spinal bone within him, his supernatural traits are fundantally the sa as the ‘Butcher,’ so when the ‘Fog Speaker’ used the ‘Primordial Ash Apostle’ to peer into the school district, once it discovered us, Wei Sang could perceive it at the first mont as well…”
“The bidirectional nature of ‘Void Target Search’?!” Lin Yi blurted out, which is the underlying logic of the pseudo-human students, but now upon thinking, it might be the underlying logic of the entire contamination pathway.
This might be a law: Insight of contamination is always bidirectional, the question is whether those being perceived have the ability to counter-perceive.
Tian Bufan said: “Exactly, which is why Wei Sang could act at that ti.”
“If I hadn’t acquired the ‘Butcher’s’ spinal bone, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this step.” Wei Shan confessed.
“This is part of the plan in itself, there’s no such possibility of ‘if hadn’t.'” Tian Bufan said.
Lin Yi pondered while touching his chin: “So what’s the situation now? Wei Sang crossed the layers to hit the ‘Fog Language Master,’ then how about the ‘Principal,’ what changes will he undergo?”
Tian Bufan said: “To be precise, our target of attack was the ‘Principal.’
“Huh?!” Lin Yi couldn’t wrap his head around it, “How does it work?”
“The ‘Fog Language Master’ can’t leave the ‘Returning Ruins,’ it rged its will and so unknown transcendent contamination — this contamination might have so connection to you — with the ‘Principal,’ which created the ‘Primordial Ash Apostle,’ using it as a window to search for our traces in the ti and space layers…”
Lin Yi seed to understand, finally catching onto this: “A ‘weather balloon’ that surpasses the three dinsions?”
“Correct.” Tian Bufan said, “And what we’re doing is forcing it to abandon this ‘weather balloon,’ only then could the ‘Principal’s’ will possibly operate properly, freeing him from the ‘Primordial Ash Apostle’s’ shackles.”
“I see… This is the last logical piece for the ‘Principal’ to return to the school district?” Lin Yi said.
“Exactly.” Tian Bufan said, “Step by step, interlinked.”
Lin Yi took a deep breath, knowing this layout isn’t sothing that can be planned out just by simple extrapolation.
After a mont of silence, he suddenly thought of the scenes that had aroused intense anger in him earlier, and couldn’t help but ask Wei Sang, “By the way, Wei Sang, what’s with those scenes just now?”
Upon hearing this, Wei Shan rely scratched his back head, saying naively, “I… I don’t know either, I rely borrowed the montum to ignite your anger, explode your emotions, but the things you saw, I don’t know what they were either…”
“Ah, really? But those were the images that appeared when your will was attached to !” Lin Yi earnestly said, “You have no idea? Then what about that traitor?”
At the ntion of “traitor,” a fierce light flashed across Wei Shan’s sowhat naive face as if triggering a keyword: “‘Fog Language Master’! And ‘Demon Puppet Master’!!”
“They stole the ‘Stars’ origin, gravely injuring astrology, they… they betrayed the beginning!”
