Chapter 880: Chapter 408: Return to Campus
As they got closer, the light beca clearer, and finally, Lin Yi saw a familiar cobblestone path.
At a point along the path, a light pole stood, its dim light spreading over the road and illuminating everything around.
This place seed particularly normal and tranquil compared to the twisted space from before.
The Security Guard slowed his pace, and the endless darkness that had enveloped them slowly receded like a tide…
Lin Yi felt a strange sensation, a déjà vu of a submarine surfacing, and the bizarre, twisted darkness was gradually left behind him.
Lin Yi began to feel the cold breeze of early dawn brushing his cheeks, though his physical abilities had improved imnsely, this chill, almost etched into his “cognition,” made him instinctively shiver.
Just like seeing soone else’s egg explode, you would feel a vague pain yourself.
After a few steps, Lin Yi’s feet were already on uneven cobblestones, and this sensation filled him with a solid sense of reassurance.
As they neared the light pole ahead, their shadows were drawn out long, as if escaping from the abyss of darkness, returning to the real world.
The pocket chefs in black aprons seed unfazed, but Zhao Lingxiao noticeably let out a long sigh of relief, seemingly still clinging to a trace of fear from the environnt just now.
The Security Guard stopped them near the light pole and then turned to face them, his majestic and deep voice slowly resounded:
“This is the campus; dawn is breaking, they dare not act too recklessly… Follow the corresponding rules, and you can return to the Teaching Building.”
The Security Guard issued an “order to leave.”
Lin Yi released the chain without hesitation and walked towards the light pole.
Zhao Lingxiao didn’t hesitate either and followed Lin Yi’s steps.
Watching Lin Yi’s back, the Security Guard appeared thoughtful.
A black apron chef hesitated for a mont, then spoke, “Aren’t you taking him to the Cafeteria?”
“It’s unnecessary,” the Security Guard shook his head, “Any sequence is destined for only one throne… A ‘Ashen Apostle’ that doesn’t belong to ‘human’ has snuck into the campus, it will find that kid.”
“We can protect him for a while, but not forever.”
“And if he fails…” the black apron chef pondered, “Wouldn’t it beco very troubleso?”
“As long as it’s within the campus, it’s not troubleso. If that day truly cos…”
“I will personally shatter his pain… even if he is ‘the chosen one’.”
The Security Guard said, then turned and disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a majestic and cold voice echoing faintly in the dark.
…
May 10, X023, 5:16.
The campus in the early morning was not yet bright, the dawn had yet to appear, and the whole world was still shrouded in murky darkness, with only the deep blue sky faintly indicating the long night was leaving, and dawn was approaching.
At this ti, the campus was eerie and horrifying, heavy moisture in the air mingling with mist, making the whole campus seem as if lifted into the clouds.
The faint dampness gave Lin Yi’s skin a slippery and cold feeling, and even the light from the lamp pole could not provide any warmth.
Lin Yi soon reached the lamp pole and imdiately confird its number.
“Library-102.”
“Sure enough, it’s 102!” Having anticipated this, upon confirmation, he felt more of a “so it is” feeling.
This was indeed the light pole Tian Bufan had reached before, the so-called “end of the road” and “no library ahead, only Green Forest Belt.”
“The map really is ‘absolutely accurate’…” Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh. This little set of rules, though only a few words, the more he understood the campus, the more he felt the terrifying depth of aning hidden behind those sparse rules, and the intimidating nature of the authority setting those rules.
He looked around, and the path they had co from had sohow turned into the Green Forest Belt, with no sign of that darkness.
Perhaps, it was originally a Green Forest Belt, and only because they were led by the Security Guard, they could appear here.
There was originally no road in the world, the places the Security Guard walked also beca a road.
“Hey, hey, hey, wait for !” Zhao Lingxiao’s voice rang out from behind him.
She kept rubbing her arms as if trying to drive away the cold.
“Middle of the night, how could you leave a cute girl like all alone on the side?” she complained softly, but with more of a playful tone.
“Sorry, sorry…” he kept interrupting Zhao Lingxiao’s spell-casting, but it was extrely perfunctory, with no intention of continuing.
He really had no patience for this woman who sotis ca with a bit of a trick up her sleeve.
Compared to Zhao Lingxiao, he much preferred Li Huiyuan’s feeling of entrusting one’s life…
Especially after the Library incident, he always felt that this Zhao Lingxiao would trip him over at so unknown point.
He briefly identified the direction and then walked towards the light pole ahead.
Zhao Lingxiao followed Lin Yi without hesitation.
Lin Yi stopped, frowned, and looked at her, “Why are you still following ?”
Zhao Lingxiao rolled her eyes, “Please, I’m also taking this path, don’t flatter yourself.”
Lin Yi then silently returned along the original path to the “Library-102” lamp pole.
