"Hmm... alright." Hearing Kuai Hongji put the "mission" first, the "School Doctor" nodded in satisfaction.
"By the way, Teacher..." She suddenly thought of sothing and said slowly, "The Library, the current Director is one of those ’Night Watchn’ from before... He’s been following your footsteps. If possible, maybe you could give him a chance."
"The Library Director... I’ve already t him." Kuai Hongji said slowly, "As for his matters, let’s not discuss them for now... Let see you as well, take a good look at you again."
The "School Doctor" was slightly stunned, but there was a youthful joy floating in her eyes, "Mhm!"
...
Lin Yi quietly withdrew from the depths of Kuai Hongji’s will...
In fact, he should have left when the "business" was finished, but he couldn’t help it. He lingered and ended up having to endure a big wave of affection forcefully stuffed into him by Kuai Hongji.
Listening to the "School Doctor’s" explanation, he actually had many questions he wanted to ask, like whether it was possible to identify the original traitor as being among the "Demon Puppet Master," "Fog Language Master," "Star Builder," and "Judge" based on the "School Doctor’s" explanation?
But since the traitor is indeed a "traitor," inevitably possessing "betrayal," which ans, apart from the "Demon Puppet Master" who fled thousands of miles away and the "Fog Language Master" who followed "Supre Heaven" to the "Returning Ruins," were "Star Builder" and "Judge" at one ti on their side before betraying them?
Then there’s the matter of the Library Director, what’s going on with him? As one of the oldest "Night Watchn" in the campus, did the "Library Director" not participate in the school’s construction at all and simply held the title of Director?
He really wanted to ask these questions, but he couldn’t.
This wasn’t the ti to ask these questions.
After all, the School Doctor had waited for Kuai Hongji for all these years, was he really going to take a little advantage of this limited ti now?
That would be simply inhumane.
Furthermore, he had a premonition that choosing to enter the campus when the "School Doctor" is this old might also be part of Wei Liang’s arrangents...
Leaving the school clinic that was about to see an affectionate reunion, Lin Yi directly returned to the dark ocean-like void filled with a large amount of hazy mist through the Dream Boundary.
He kept sinking into the void, drifting slowly amidst the floating mist, when gradually, bubbles began rising from the mist below like crystal balls with phantoms, brushing past him as they floated upwards.
Each bubble seed to be holding images, akin to virtual images, slowly playing out segnts of certain events.
As he watched those images, he felt that each one was incredibly familiar, as if déjà vu, perhaps belonging to his yet-to-be-recalled mories.
Instinctively, he reached out for one of the bubbles.
At the mont his fingertip touched the bubble, it burst with a boom, and the images within enveloped him instantly. In the next mont, he seed to fall into the world depicted by the bubble...
...
Lin Yi felt an overwhelming silence around him; the images within the bubble seemingly hadn’t appeared.
But gradually, the oppressive darkness around him started dissipating like steam on a bathroom mirror, and he beheld a scene that left him incredibly shocked.
He saw a deck, beyond which lay a sea of deathly silence.
This was not a sea that’s cald post-storm, but a kind of solidified, suffocating stillness.
Thick as ink, the black mist pervaded the entire world; it didn’t hover above the sea’s surface, but rather climbed up and evaporated from the rotten sea bottom abyss, eventually engulfing the whole world.
The black mist undulated lightly; viscous like a living thing, it greedily devoured any light attempting to pierce it—whether it was the pale moonlight or the few lanterns swaying on the deck, dim like ghostly flas.
The whole world was dim and chilly, layers of clouds in the high sky seed as if covered in layer upon layer of tattered, heavy quilts, with the heavy moonlight struggling to penetrate, barely managing to send down a few strands through the cloud rifts, shining dimly only where the mist was thinnest.
These pale light columns, like gigantic, slanted searchlights, futilely lit up segnts of the rolling and constantly writhing wall of black mist; the edges of the light beams were razor-sharp, slicing through the dense mist, only to be instantly swallowed by the returning darkness.
The air was filled with a strong salty stench and the sll of decaying wood, along with a deeper, more unsettling chill, as if the ship below wasn’t a ship at all, but a cold coffin.
"Is this... the depths of the Grey Mist Sea?"
Lin Yi’s will had also reached the "Returning Ruins" after a layer transition, but here, the black mist, the environnt—everything—seed denser, much more somber and eerie than over there at the "Returning Ruins"...
The whole world seed like it had died, no, it should be said—
This sea seed dead.
The entire world, apart from the occasional wind brushing past his ears and the minute, almost inaudible sound of seawater lapping, was left only with the almost collapsing "creak creak" from the ship beneath Lin Yi’s feet.
