Chapter 895: Chapter 415 “Secret Files – HX-S1″_2
“Head Yuan and Mu Daxian’s sacrifice must have been part of their plan. After Head Yuan’s death, the infiltrators erase all related records, the entire incident is concluded, and everything wraps up seamlessly.”
“In this entire event, Head Yuan was just fuel used to light a candle.”
“Once the candle was lit, the fuel turned into charred wood discarded without drawing any attention.”
“But Mu Daxian survived the 70th Grey Mist Invasion… and after that event, he beca a piece on a ga board that was supposed to have ended.”
“His existence brought a turning point to the case, causing many clues to magnify and attract attention.”
“According to 039, if sparking the entire event required an ‘Anchor Point individual,’ that person might very well be Mu Daxian.”
“Her choice to enter the Art Building… might also have been influenced by Mu Daxian.”
Lin Yi heard this, couldn’t help but rub his temples, and sighed deeply: “Sounds like a masterful operation… both from the infiltrators and Teacher 039.”
This really is a top-tier ga. Horoom Teacher-039 glimpsed a chess ga, dragged over a chair, and forcefully beca a player.
So impressive…
“So what about …” Lin Yi asked, “Will they co for ?”
“If you get noticed by them, definitely.” Director-040 replied, “And based on my observations, there are indeed new Collectors appearing on campus—one of them is in our class.”
“Our class?!” Lin Yi quickly reviewed all his classmates ntally, “When did that person join the school?”
“Later than you.”
“Could it be… the Mountain Man?” Lin Yi imdiately thought of that unlucky figure.
“Mountain Man?” Director-040 was slightly taken aback, “We have such a person in our class?”
Lin Yi quickly explained: “That’s what I call him—the older guy in our class who looks like a mountaineer. He’s an Experience Student.”
“You’re referring to ‘Yuan Lijian,’ aren’t you? Yes, he is indeed the Collector of Ashes.” Director-040 confird.
Lin Yi quickly asked: “His last na is ‘Yuan’—what’s his connection to Head Yuan?”
“Now that’s interesting.” Director-040 walked to the bookshelf, pulled out a file, and handed it to Lin Yi.
“What’s this?” Lin Yi looked at it with curiosity, his gaze tightening as he read the cover:—[“Secret Archives-HX-S1” Excerpt]
“Secret Archives…?!”
He reached out for it, opened it, and saw the contents:
“In mid-May of X999, a group of hikers accidentally stumbled into a village while trekking across the mountainous outskirts of S City.
According to the witnesses, the village was orderly, with furniture intact, quilts and clothing hanging out to dry, and crops like soybeans laid out—but not a single person was present.
Feeling uneasy, the witnesses prepared to leave, but the sun had already set and night was falling. After deliberating, they decided to set up tents outside the village and spend the night under the moonlight before departing.
That night, the previously empty village suddenly showed movent—figures were spotted. Through the gaps in their tents and under dim moonlight, the witnesses saw stiffly moving shapes within the village, terrifying them on the spot.
However, those villagers did not stray far from the village, allowing the hikers to escape harm.
At dawn, the witnesses hurriedly packed up to flee the mountain area, only to discover lifelike human sculptures had mysteriously appeared along the mountain path they took to arrive.
Upon leaving, they reported the incident, but official investigations yielded no results.
By early June of X999, S City’s outskirts were completely closed off due to official land planning…”
“This is…?” Lin Yi still felt bewildered after reading, unsure of its connection to the Mountain Man. However, he imdiately noticed there was sothing wedged behind the file and flipped to reveal an old photograph.
The photograph depicted a group shot of the hikers, with nothing outwardly abnormal.
“Yuan Lijian is 43 years old this year; in X999, he was 19 years old…” Director-040 pointed with an elegant, slender, and pale finger at the youthful face in the monochro photograph, “That’s him.”
“This Yuan Lijian was one of the earliest individuals to enter this campus—and the only one in this photograph who remains alive today as a heavily contaminated individual.”
“He had once been covertly monitored by officials for a ti, but with no abnormal behaviors, he departed surveillance and subsequently vanished—only reappearing recently on campus.”
Lin Yi exclaid in shock: “How could soone with records suddenly disappear and reappear without the authorities paying attention?”
“There are too many people like that. Plus, since there were no anomalies during the monitoring period, the authorities wouldn’t intervene. Besides, his entry into the campus was ‘legitimate.'” Director-040 explained.
“‘Legitimate’? Lin Yi asked, puzzled.
Just then, Director-040 glanced outside the office door. Through the slightly ajar door, faint morning rays could be seen breaking over the mountains—fine threads of light scattering like delicate golden snowflakes over the forest, rippling like waves on a lake as the wind blew.
“Daybreak.” The Director didn’t respond to his question but calmly retracted her gaze, directing it at the ceiling lamp.
“Huh?” Lin Yi blinked, confused.
A few seconds later, accompanied by the “buzz” of electrical sounds, the incandescent lamp lit up, bathing the office in warmth.
Director-040 closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Lin Yi noticed that scattered invisible forces seed to converge toward her. The skin around her exposed wounds appeared as though covered in a faint halo.
It looked as if she was recharging.
“Primordial Pollution!” Lin Yi was struck with horror but quickly realized it was logical. In such an environnt, it made sense for a “Director” tier entity to be able to absorb certain pollution to convert into strength.
Her breaths were steady, and her Spirit seed to rise continually. When she opened her eyes again, she looked as if nothing had happened.
Lin Yi felt dazed—Director-040’s condition seed reminiscent of Director-039’s from before. He recalled the sixth night when Director-039 used this thod to suppress her injuries…
“It seems they can only absorb Primordial Pollution during the day. Over ti, although their willpower remains unyielding, their bodies inevitably wear out…” Lin Yi lanted inwardly.
At this mont, Director-040 shut the office door, locking it securely, then slowly moved toward the sofa. Lin Yi’s attention was drawn as she walked—under the bright lamp light, he suddenly noticed she wasn’t wearing any shoes.
She wore loose nightwear, yet underneath was still the sa tight-fitting suit. Her nearly perfect curves beca more pronounced under the robe’s subtle outline.
Beneath the robe, the tight-fitting suit extended down to her feet, resembling thick stockings in a way.
“Wasn’t it that foot that shattered my face back then?” Lin Yi muttered internally, subconsciously comparing Director-040’s kick with Boss’s kick.
Of course, he was only comparing the strength of their kicks.
The conclusion was that Director-040’s kick packed more power—then again, perhaps Boss precisely adjusted the force to match Lin Yi’s ability to withstand, whereas Director-040 might’ve lashed out impulsively.
If compared side-by-side, Lin Yi still favored Boss. After all, according to the centripetal force formula, longer legs equal greater strength…
Boss’s legs really were stunningly long.
Long enough to take Lin Yi’s breath away.
