Chapter 924: Chapter 428 The Truth Behind the Head Yuan Incident?!
“The door?” Class Teacher-040 hesitated slightly before explaining, “Under normal circumstances, the office door is kept closed at all tis.”
“Huh?” Lin Yi was taken aback.
Class Teacher-040 continued, “But the situation these past few days has been sowhat unusual.”
“I kept the door open because of ‘hunting.’
“Hunting? Were you lying in wait for ?”
“Why would I be lying in wait for you?” Class Teacher-040 retorted, “I was lying in wait for so non-human entities that might invade the office. Who told you to barge in?”
“I…” Lin Yi wanted to argue with Class Teacher-040 but suddenly realized a rather abstract point.
That is, in Class Teacher-040’s perception and cognitive judgnt, when he had barged into the office, it seed that Lin Yi didn’t quite fall into the category of “human.”
But regarding hunting…
“Your injuries, were they caused during the hunt?”
Class Teacher-040’s slender eyelashes trembled slightly as she softly responded: “You could say that…”
Lin Yi asked with concern, “What kind of thing caused them?”
Class Teacher-040 shook her head slightly: “I’m not sure, perhaps so angel sculpture mutating into an ‘Angel,’ or perhaps so dark variation created by a zealot.”
“It had a humanoid shape, but was quite peculiar. Its hands seed to be holding oversized machetes, but I’m certain they weren’t actual weapons—they were extensions of its bones…”
“Could it be an ‘Ashen Apostle’?”
“Ashen Apostle? What Ashen Apostle?” Class Teacher-040 glanced at Lin Yi, her eyes holding an odd emotion.
Observing Class Teacher-040’s reaction, Lin Yi suddenly felt that she might know sothing about the Ashen Apostle, so he quickly said, “I an, the colorful entity—it looks like it was constructed from countless shards of broken glass. It has a humanoid shape, like a sculpture, but it’s certainly not a sculpture…”
Class Teacher-040 appeared increasingly confused.
Lin Yi grew anxious upon seeing this but felt unable to articulate clearly, as the form of that conceptual-level sculpture may have been shaped by his own perception.
Suddenly, inspiration struck: “Wait a minute! Did Teacher-039 leave you any information about her encounter with an ‘Angel’?”
Class Teacher-040’s eyebrows knitted tightly, her gaze now mixing doubt with a fierce tension as she asked: “Why would she leave such information with ?”
“I deduced it!” Lin Yi confessed honestly, “Besides, didn’t her investigation records ntion that she was burned by ashes? Those ashes ca from the Ash ssenger. And yet, she didn’t realize it—the entity she believed to be an ‘Angel’ was actually an Ash ssenger.”
“Wait, wait, wait!!” Lin Yi exclaid, suddenly connecting the dots and slapping his forehead in realization, “Of course! Why didn’t I link these points together earlier?”
Class Teacher-040’s quick intellect had also caught up: “You an…?!”
The two exchanged an intense glance!!
Lin Yi continued to exclaim: “Teacher-039’s understanding of ‘Angels’ is mistaken, which ans her investigation lacked a critical foundational ‘nexus’ from the very beginning!”
“If we substitute [Angel is actually Ashen Apostle], no, substitute [Teacher-039’s assud ‘Angel’ is actually an ‘Ashen Apostle’] into the previous investigation records, we can uncover the truth behind the Head Yuan incident!”
“The infiltration force used Head Yuan and Mu Daxian as their pawns, along with various other moves we haven’t yet untangled, all tid perfectly during…”
“The 70th occurrence,” Class Teacher-040 interrupted to correct him.
Lin Yi nodded and proceeded: “Right, during the 70th Grey Mist Incursion, they used the bait of accessing ‘Supre Judgnt’ pathways to fool them into enabling the ‘Ashen Apostle’ to descend upon the campus!”
“Earlier, you ntioned that during a Grey Mist Incursion, the layers of the campus resemble a ship in water, where the depth of imrsion continually shifts. This instability makes layer infiltration much easier!”
“The root of the ‘Ashes’ stems from the Art Building layer where the ‘Angel’ resides… And at that critical juncture, Mu Daxian ascended the Watchtower!”
“That infiltrating force offered Mu Daxian and Head Yuan a so-called pathway to ‘Supre Judgnt,’ which, in reality, wasn’t access to [Supre Judgnt]. It was actually a thod to enable the ‘Ashen Apostle’ to traverse between the Art Building and campus layers!”
“This explains why Mu Daxian was in the Art Building, while Head Yuan was in the campus!”
“Basic theorem—two points define a line!”
“Mu Daxian and Head Yuan functioned like two handsets, while the so-called pathway served as the channel. As they began communicating using the sa unique channel across layers, the bridge for the ‘Ashen Apostle’ to descend was effectively constructed!”
“Ordinary lifeforms cannot withstand ashes. Despite Head Yuan being a Second-order Sports Student, it’s clear his position was insufficient. Thus, during the ‘Ashen Apostle’s’ descent, Head Yuan perished from overload!”
“It could have been a ritual, and both Mu Daxian and Head Yuan were sacrificial offerings to it!”
However, given that Mu Daxian was right under the Night Watchn’s surveillance, it’s likely he was saved when the accident occurred. Head Yuan, on the other hand, wasn’t so fortunate. Stationed at the campus, the supre combatant Convenience Store Owner initially failed to notice anything, resulting in the deaths of Head Yuan and all the accompanying Sports Students and Art Students!
From this, it seems that the ‘Supre Judgnt’ pathway Mu Daxian now interacts with may actually have been introduced to him when the Night Watchn intervened to save him.
