As this layer of perception continues to penetrate, he is even more shocked to discover that beneath Li Huiyuan’s crack is a section of darkness that he cannot comprehend...
There’s nothing.
Not a single thing.
The human body has flesh and blood, extraordinary creatures have skeletal structures, veins, and the presence of supernatural powers, but probing inside through the crack on Li Huiyuan reveals nothing perceptible.
This is a completely unimaginable phenonon.
Because she used to be a person, has always been a person until she was scratched by the Chef in the green apron.
Even afterwards, she has always been a "person."
What’s more, even if Lin Yi now perceives Li Huiyuan, if the perception doesn’t penetrate beneath that crack, everything perceived is a living human being—a polluter mixed with extraordinary traits and ashen breath!
Yet, when his perception dives down, his cognition of Li Huiyuan shatters!
Just like described in Peach Blossom Spring, initially narrow yet accessible by people... ultimately a completely different world, which to the outside world, still looks the sa.
Li Huiyuan... if one disregards that crack, everything seems so normal!
At least, at the current level of mysticism, she’s at a relatively "normal" level.
However, if one looks beneath the crack, Li Huiyuan is rely a shell?!
Then what’s inside her?
Inside is a dark void, or... sothing he completely cannot cognize?
At least, it doesn’t appear like a Contractor.
Nor like anything he knows up to this point.
"What’s wrong with Li Huiyuan?"
"What exactly happened to her?"
"Is she... still her?"
"If she is, then what exactly is going on with her?"
"If she’s not, then since when did she cease to be?"
"Does the boss know?"
"Could it be related to that call the night before yesterday?"
"But... it’s completely unreasonable... it doesn’t match at all!"
"Quick, think stupid brain! Hurry up!"
Lin Yi’s complexion turned pale, and various guesses kept surfacing in his mind like paste. Fortunately, Li Huiyuan couldn’t see his expression nor know what was on his mind.
"Right, ask Young Master Tian and Kuai Kuai!"
Thinking of this, Lin Yi imdiately initiated a call within his mind:
"Young Master Tian! Kuai Kuai! Are you there? Can you hear ?"
"Young Master Tian, Kuai Kuai..."
After several calls, he received a response in his heart.
"I’m here, Old Lin, I’m here." Tian Bufan’s voice gradually erged.
"What’s the matter? So urgent." Kuai Hongji’s sowhat gloomy voice also slowly appeared.
Lin Yi quickly narrated the situation he encountered and imdiately sought both of their opinions.
In their dormitory building, the combined knowledge reserves of Tian Bufan and Kuai Hongji in this aspect are enough to handle the situation. If even they are unaware, then there’s really no solution.
"Let see." Having said that, Tian Bufan’s will descended directly using Lin Yi’s shell as a dium.
After so investigation, Tian Bufan hadn’t spoken and instead let out a low murmur—"Huh?"
Tian Bufan’s reaction gave Lin Yi hope: "What do you say?"
"Kuai Kuai, take a look." Tian Bufan said, with an air like a senior doctor calling students to observe so peculiar lesions.
Kuai Hongji imdiately also allowed his will to descend, observed Li Huiyuan’s situation, and then also let out a "Huh.".
"Doesn’t it look like?" Tian Bufan asked.
"It does, very much... extrely alike." Kuai Hongji replied.
"Can’t you two speak comprehensible words?" Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask, "She resembles what?"
Tian Bufan pondered for a mont, then slowly said: "Like Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial’s operations..."
"Liangzi?!" Lin Yi’s eyes widened.
Tian Bufan hesitated and said, "I can’t say for sure, but there’s indeed sowhat resembling sothing Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial can do..."
"Her situation is indeed bizarre, because so situations regarding her we had already noticed through dreams, but until you just called us, we hadn’t discovered any oddities."
"At most, she could be considered the most radiant among all your Mist Chasing Light Seekers, and thus far, all her performances match this effect..."
"But now, if this situation is confird, then my theory about her needs reviewing..."
Lin Yi listened with a heavy heart, asking, "What exactly is this situation you speak of? And what does Liangzi’s handiwork an?"
Tian Bufan said, "Mystery, the ’Mystery’ of hide-and-seek.’"
"Mystery?" Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed, "What does it an?"
Tian Bufan said, "In infinite ti and space, determining a coordinate, then hiding sothing into this coordinate, imbuing this coordinate with realistic significance is ’Mystery.’"
"Need to use your brain, right?"
"To explain it simply to you..."
"Imagine a cubic room, you open the door and walk in, seeing six walls, besides the door that can be opened, a door is painted on the wall."
"That door itself is painted, anyone entering the room would know it’s painted."
"But the essence of ’Mystery’ lies in, standing at the door is acknowledged with layers that can be opened, and a layer beyond the door that no one without this perception layer can reach."
Kuai Hongji said: "However, the mystery lies in that, any matter can beco a place of ’Mystery.’ Until it actively exposes itself, you can’t pinpoint it."
"Creating a layer hidden at the back of the world, then inserting sothing, but the world is vast, layers are infinite, even if you exhaust all ans to explore, there’s no end."
"Only the person using ’Mystery’ knows what they’re doing."
"A one-on-one secure box, and this box, hid under an undefinable concept."
Lin Yi obviously couldn’t fully understand, vague and foggy, until he "adapts" and comprehends this concept, everything is hollow.
"So are you saying... Li Huiyuan is like that cubic being hidden with sothing? And now, it’s about to be opened?"
"No." Tian Bufan said, "Our world is that cube; Li Huiyuan is the door painted on the wall."
"Everything’s on the wall, and yet, she has a door on her body."
"The crack on the door appeared, opening it, one doesn’t know what will erge."
"However, if it is ’Mystery’—in theory, only she herself knows what’s hidden, and only she alone can open it."
"This’s the crux of the issue."
Kuai Hongji said, "There’s also another possibility, a less probable one... that Wei Liang used ’Mystery’ on her, but that’s unreasonable, also unfeasible."
Tian Bufan denied, "Absolutely not Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial, regardless of what operations he has, there’s only one chance; if he used ’Mystery,’ he wouldn’t appear here. Moreover, relying solely on tricks, achieving this is impossible."
"That’s precisely the point I can’t understand."
"Also, if there’s a second presence capable of ’Mystery’ in the campus, this presence could massively impact our plan!"
Tian Bufan began to contemplate.
It seed as though once they confird "Liberation Law," every trajectory underwent so weird deviation.
Such deviation caused their plan route to tremble like a string being plucked.
