Old Lin, what the heck?!” Wei Liang clutched his bottom and sprung up.
“Hahaha!
Seeing your smug face, I knew it was no good!” Lin Yi sneered.
“What are you talking about?
If you keep slandering like this, watch out, I’ll go complain to the Boss, saying not only do you fancy n, but you also fence in your dreams!”
“…” Lin Yi was at a loss for words, “Liangzi, are you freaking kidding ?
“Shoo, shoo, shoo!!!” Wei Liang patted his chest, “I’m only interested in lolis!”
“Alright, enough bickering.” Tian Bufan interjected, “Old Lin, are you saying that Maozi ca across the Mountain Man?”
Lin Yi composed himself and said, “There was no encounter, and the Mountain Man probably didn’t even notice Maozi.
Here’s what happened…”
He then recounted the event where Mu Daxian and Mao Feiyang encountered the Mountain Man.
After listening, Tian Bufan narrowed his eyes, which seed to flicker with a sharp light: “Exoskeleton…
intriguing, it’s getting more and more interesting…”
At so mont, Lin Yi felt like he could see a hint of indifferent emotion in Tian Bufan’s eyes, cold enough to send a shiver down his spine.
Looking at Tian Bufan’s expression, Lin Yi felt a sense of unfamiliarity: “You…
aren’t you curious?”
“Curious.” Tian Bufan replied, “I’ve indeed beco interested in this Mountain Man.”
“Uh…
I thought you would be interested in the exoskeleton…” Lin Yi scratched his head, looking puzzled.
“Hmm…
as for the exoskeleton, it’s alright.”
Tian Bufan’s lukewarm reaction to the exoskeleton made Lin Yi sowhat incredulous: “I an, it’s the exoskeleton!
The kind you only see on TV, sothing that only seems to exist in concepts!”
It seed that sothing occurred to Tian Bufan, and he was slightly moved, then said: “That’s true…”
“What do you an by ‘that’s true’?
Even though it’s 2023, exoskeletons haven’t beco that commonly used in this sense, right?
Aren’t energy and materials the persistent issues?” Lin Yi said.
After a mont of silence, Tian Bufan spoke: “Didn’t you also say that supernatural power could charge a light bulb?
Maybe so organization has grasped the technology to power exoskeletons with supernatural powers?
Isn’t that what you said?”
“I…
don’t think I said that yet?” Lin Yi was clearly taken aback.
“You’ve ntioned it before, if you don’t believe ask Wei Sang.” Tian Bufan said, unflinchingly.
“Wei Sang?”
“Ah?
Oh!
Yes, you ntioned it, definitely!
Old Lin, maybe it was sothing you skirted around inadvertently, and you didn’t notice,” Wei Shan hurriedly said.
“Uh…
really?” Lin Yi was a bit confused.
Did I really ntion that?
If I didn’t ntion it, how would Young Master Tian know about it?
But did I…
really ntion that already?
“Liangzi, did I really ntion it?” Lin Yi looked towards Wei Liang.
“Blah blah blah blah…” Wei Liang covered his ears, with a mouth full of kimchi flavor as he spoke.
Lin Yi: “Geez…”
At that mont, Tian Bufan continued to ask, “This Mountain Man is in the sa class as you, right?”
“Yes!
What about it, should we keep an eye on him?”
“There’s no need for that.” Tian Bufan shook his head slightly, the words he uttered bore a striking resemblance to those of Mu Daxian, “He probably won’t intersect with us.
Just observe him a little, when he leaves the classroom, when he returns, if there are any changes…”
“How is that not ‘paying attention’?” Lin Yi exclaid in surprise.
Tian Bufan said, “Interpret it however you like, but my point is, don’t waste too much energy on that Mountain Man.
Just give him so simple observation as long as it doesn’t cause you any trouble…”
“What he’s here for, his background—it doesn’t matter to us.
He’ll leave after seven days, and that’s no concern of ours.”
Lin Yi nodded.
It did seem that way: “But this so-called ‘Grey Mist Invasion’ event seems to be a very dangerous ti, and I’m worried that Maozi…
he might stay in the Art Building and not want to leave.”
“Talking about this is useless.
Let’s try to connect with Maozi first,” Tian Bufan shook his head, “There’s a lot of information in dreams…
but we still need to organize a rough outline.
The parts we can’t organize, we don’t have any more useful information to infer anything.”
Lin Yi said, “So…
can we talk about why nobody is sleeping now?”
“We can, but…” Tian Bufan nodded slightly and glanced at the lamppost nearby, “before that, how about we talk about this ‘Grey Mist Invasion’ thing first?”
“It sounds like a major event; don’t you want to share a bit with us?”
“Alright…” Lin Yi’s expression beca serious.
The Grey Mist Invasion was indeed a major event, but just like Tian Bufan wanted to know the clues from his dreams, he too was very eager to know what had happened in the dormitory after he fell asleep, which is why he wanted to ask about the things he cared about first after all the most crucial matters were discussed.
“The ‘Grey Mist Invasion’…has to start with the matter of the Art Building layer…”
Lin Yi, seeing that they were about to enter the School Building Area and wouldn’t have much ti to talk, quickly focused on the essence and spoke about what he knew.
Tian Bufan listened, his expression gradually becoming grave, as if so sealed box was slowly being opened, releasing a multitude of information…
“How about it, ‘unzipped’ sothing new?” Lin Yi was already used to this and hurriedly asked.
“What ‘unzip’?” Tian Bufan was taken aback, unable to guess what label Lin Yi had internally assigned him…
Lin Yi quickly corrected himself: “Er…
I an, did you ‘rember’ sothing again?”
Tian Bufan gave him a look: “So fragnts flashed by…
like so images and so docuntary materials…
I’ll organize them today and then tell you.”
“Young Master Tian really has sothing…” Lin Yi thought to himself, “Okay, I’ll wait for you tonight!”
Wei Liang, who was getting a bit sore from covering his ears, just let go when he heard these words, and he instantly felt like he faced a great enemy, with sweat streaming down his back and a sense of danger looming over him, and he hurriedly hastened his steps toward the Teaching Building.
“This ‘Grey Mist Invasion’…just listening to Mu Daxian’s words makes it feel extrely dangerous, and it seems like the most perilous ti hasn’t even arrived yet,” Tian Bufan said, “The crisis in the Cafeteria might just be the beginning.
These last three days will probably be very tough, so everyone must be careful…”
“Especially you…
Kuai Kuai.” Tian Bufan gave him a deep look.
Kuai Hongji’s eyebrows twitched slightly: “I know my limits when I act.”
“That’s my point.
Because you know your limits, that’s why…
you especially need to be careful,” Tian Bufan said, “Leave yourself so leeway, Old Lin…
isn’t ready yet.”
Lin Yi: “???”
“Ready for what?” he asked.
Tian Bufan gave him a look: “Ready to rescue Maozi.”
Lin Yi was sowhat silent.
He always felt that Tian Bufan ant sothing else.
“So what now, shall we talk about what happened last night after I fell asleep?”
Tian Bufan nodded: “Sure.”
He continued: “In fact, once we learned you could see what Maozi experienced in your dreams, we decided to take turns on Night Guard for you.”
“Of course, after experiencing last night, we were also a bit curious about what might happen in the dorm at night…”
“Hiss…” Lin Yi took a sharp breath, mulled it over, and couldn’t help but say, “But the term ‘Night Guard’ seems like it’s not ant for the living, is it?”
“And…
Are you worried I’d wake up in the middle of the night?
Unable to continue dreaming?”
