I feel that this ‘moon’ must hold so significance within the Art Departnt…”
“On our way back to campus, the elevator stopped at the Library montarily before returning to the Teaching Building…”
“At the Library, soone got on the elevator.
They looked a bit like a Pseudo-Human Art Student, but they didn’t emit any malice.
They had so characteristics of a Pseudo-Human, but not too obviously, and they seed to clearly fear Mu Daxian…
Art Students are not afraid of Mu Daxian.”
“Oh right, about the concept of ‘Pseudo-Human Art Student’…
They are actually what we previously called ‘the eerie Art Students’.
They are products of transformation after Art Students cross the boundary of contamination, and seemingly no longer belong to humanity.”
“There are so other concepts I’ll talk about in a bit.”
“Then, according to Mu Daxian, the Library is indeed Building D of the Teaching Building, but there appears to be so strange chanism that prevents return once you reach it…”
“This chanism, Mu Daxian hasn’t ntioned before, I suspect it may resemble the way the stairs of the Teaching Building’s basent floor move, like a one-way passage.
As for the specifics, we’ll need to find an opportunity to understand.”
“Also, Mu Daxian was originally registered in the sa Class 2 of Group B as Liangzi and , and he later registered Maozi there too.”
“Unfortunately, to prevent them from being seen by ordinary Experience Students, Mu Daxian calculated the timing precisely and avoided most people so perfectly that we never once crossed paths…”
“That ssage on our blackboard was left by Mu Daxian after all.”
“This Mu Daxian…
He seems to know a lot of rules, almost as if he had already done a part of what we are currently undertaking, and has collected quite a number of them.”
“Moreover, I feel that his understanding of the rules is not just about obtaining them— he appears to have once been one of those ‘units’ obliged to abide by them.
He claid to be an Art Student transford from an Experience Student, so he knows the rules for Experience Students and so for Sports Students…”
“In addition, he has served as a Dormitory Supervisor for so ti, which ans he knows a more comprehensive set of Dorm rules, including ‘Dormitory Supervisor rules’.
I even suspect he has so mastery over the use of old kerosene lamps…
because he can blow out a lamp with his bare hands, a skill that seems to be in few hands and feels to just like seed bursting.”
“Also, he’s best buddies with a Pocket Chef in a black apron, so he knows even ‘Chef rules’, and supposedly it’s the more in-depth ‘Black Apron Chef rules’…Of course, that’s just my guess, because I think perhaps the chefs in blue aprons and those in black aprons have different sets of rules.”
“‘Black Apron Chef’?” Tian Bufan narrowed his eyes.
Lin Yi nodded and began to give a brief explanation, “Aside from Student Cafeteria Chefs who are non-contaminated, apart from those in green hats and blue aprons, there’s also a type of chef with a black apron.
They are said to be responsible for ‘logistics’, like cooking and preparing als in the Cafeteria, but once out of the Cafeteria, they can do anything…”
“Like a group of super spies who can do everything.”
He briefly introduced the Black Apron Chefs, without dwelling too much on the subject.
“Besides, Mu Daxian himself acts like a ‘Boss’ among the Art Students, and possesses a set of rules that seems comparable to those known by an Art Teacher.
I sotis feel he’s more like an Art Teacher, with a sense…
he could ‘break through’ but chooses ‘not to break through’, unsure if it’s because Art Students, to so extent, can do so things that Art Teachers can’t…”
Clearly, Lin Yi had his own insights, so while explaining facts, he also conveyed his own “findings.”
As for Mao Feiyang’s experiences in the dream, they were actually more about Lin Yi recounting the person Mu Daxian.
Because Mu Daxian seed to be a microcosm of the Art Departnt, and through him, one could learn much about both the Art and non-Art Departnts’ information and clues.
“And…
what I find most outrageous is that Mu Daxian knows of a rule called ‘Iron Law of the Night Watchman’.”
Stroking his chin and muttering at a tricky angle, Tian Bufan said, “The Iron Law of the Night Watchman must be the rules of the legendary ‘Night Watchman’.”
“Nad ‘Iron Law’, beyond the pretense, what I sense more is a form of binding force…”
“Binding force…?” Lin Yi paused, having not considered this point.
“It’s like the ‘Global H-bomb Treaty’, the more powerful the entity, the more it needs to be ‘controlled’ and ‘constrained’…” Tian Bufan said, squinting his eyes.
“Maybe, the Iron Law of the Night Watchman is different from regular rules; rules protect their adherents from contamination, while the Iron Law…
is used to restrain the Night Watchn from injuring others, limiting their capacity for action?”
Lin Yi’s gaze fluctuated slightly.
He rembered Mu Daxian ntioning that Night Watchn never seed to leave the Art Building.
Could it really be a form of restraint?
The Night Watchman protects the Art Building, but at the sa ti, is the Art Building also the Night Watchman’s prison?
Or rather, could there be so special relationship between the Night Watchman and the Art Building, just as there is between Old Mo and the Cafeteria?
