226: Chapter 106: Suspicion 226: Chapter 106: Suspicion “To take action within the Dormitory building, we must comply with the timing of the dormitory rules.
Suppose we take the elevator at 9:00 PM, even then, we must return to the dormitory before 10:00 PM, otherwise, we would trigger the rules that prevent overnight stays in the dormitory,”
“If it cos to that, before we have a clear solution, it would essentially be ga over.”
“That ans, conservatively speaking, the limited ti we have to explore the Dormitory building is less than 40 minutes.
Even within those 40 minutes, we have to consider the possibility of encountering special situations in the corridors that could cause ti losses.”
“In short, our exploration of the Dormitory…exploration, should not be rushed.
We should practice with other tasks, get used to the environnt, and then it wouldn’t be too late to tackle the Dormitory building.”
“In contrast, the Teaching Building and Cafeteria offer us plenty of ti.”
“Especially the Teaching Building, there are so many parts to explore, like… we could otherwise settle for finding the staircase leading to the basent, and check out what’s going on with the Teaching Building’s elevator.”
“Rember my theory of the ga?”
“If the area we are now counts as Novice Village, then what we need to do is to abide by the rules, understand the rules, and then use these rules to gradually broaden our range of cognition.”
“The size of our safe zone is determined by our level of cognition.”
“As long as we can expand our Domain, Novice Village can continue to grow.”
“Just like the information you wanted to write on paper, once you affirm them cognitively, they beco knowledge you possess.”
“We have no teachers; all bits of ‘knowledge’ must be learned by ourselves.
For those things we haven’t learned, we will feel confused and perplexed, so we need to start with bits and pieces, grasp the ‘veins’ of knowledge, then gradually piece together its entirety, integrating it into our cognition.”
“Only the ‘cognition’ that you overwrite step by step yourself can firmly make you believe.
When you have mastered the types of questions on the college entrance exam, then you can take the exam.
Otherwise, turning in a blank paper is also futile.”
Lin Yi kept pondering, “Are you saying that we should explore the campus pathways as much as the rules allow?”
“And utilize every available resource,” whispered Tian Bufan.
“Every resource?” Lin Yi couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.
“Back to the ga theory,” Tian Bufan’s tone suddenly beca equally cold and indifferent, as if a precise chanical device was simply describing a concept.
“If we are in a ga, everyone is a piece on the board, and everyone is an NPC; that ans, except for our own people, every unit, rember, every single unit, including Xu Shunkang, Boss, and others, should be utilized effectively if they can help us achieve our goal.”
Tian Bufan’s words shocked Lin Yi deeply, “Use everyone as chess pieces?
This…”
“Too cruel or too ruthless?” Tian Bufan raised an eyebrow and then shook his head, “This is a death ga with almost no margin for error, Old Lin.”
“I can understand that you are not yet able to comprehend my words,” Tian Bufan patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and narrowed his eyes.
“But to prevent the chance of sothing happening to one of us soday, I must tell you in advance, real calculation ans including oneself in the calculation when necessary.”
“Because if we fail…
we’ll beco one of those non-human entities here.”
Lin Yi’s pupils slightly constricted.
Yes…
if they failed, they might beco one of those non-human entities, or even sothing beyond their current understanding!
Although he still didn’t know what the Transformation Pathways looked like, those entities, which were sohow alive despite being infinitely close to death or completely dead, must be so kind of ‘Unit’ located deep within the Contaminated area.
“Contamination…”
“White powder particles…”
“Green powder particles…”
“The powder particles…
after being absorbed by the Boss, turned into so kind of plaster-like crystal on her skin.
If it kept being absorbed in the body, would it infect the human body like a virus, and then transform the body into…
that kind of plaster-like substance?”
“And the plaster-like substance…
it seems when it solidifies, it becos…
a sculpture?”
At that mont, the sculpture in Lin Yi’s mind was a pure and true sculpture, similar to those in the staircase from the Teaching Building to the Dormitory Building, not the one he saw in Tian Bufan’s Phantom Vision, which was a grotesque, unnamable form made of countless shattered glass pieces and having a human outline.
“Or could there be so unknown connection between these two types of sculptures?”
Thinking this, a dark shadow spread across his heart as if plumting into an abyss.
That long-missing, unsettling, chilling breath swept over him again as if nurous cold tendrils were reaching out from the darkness to envelop him.
But this ti, after only a mont of panic, he imdiately consciously controlled his breathing rhythm and cald his panicked emotions in a relatively gentle manner, gradually suppressing the discomfort and terror arising within him.
