Chapter 277: How to Eliminate Ashes
Lin Yi's expression gradually became solemn, and the words of the pseudo-human art teacher once again rang in his ears like a boomerang.

"The sun has long gone out. How long can its afterglow illuminate them? The gray fog has arrived. You will all die."

Angel... Could it be that he was stained with the ashes of the extinguished sun? Lin Yi couldn't help but guess.

"Then what should we do with the ashes? Wait for it to disappear on its own?" Lin Yi asked.

Be it a mark or ashes, he came here just to get rid of it. Otherwise, he would easily die if he was always stared at by the angel statue.

The key point is that now it’s not just one type of angel sculpture that’s being targeted, but three types.

There are three types, covering the teaching building, dormitory building, and gymnasium areas from all directions and angles, blocking all his escape routes.

The boss said: "Waiting for it to disappear on its own is indeed a solution, but the time span required is not short, and before it disappears, it can cause continuous pollution to you."

Lin Yi frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask: "If it dissipates naturally...how long will it take?"

"It depends on the person, but from what I just observed, it will take at least two days."

"Two days..." Lin Yi pondered secretly. That is to say, if he wanted to wait for it to dissipate naturally, he would need to hide in the gymnasium for at least two days?

But...is the gymnasium really safe with the invasion of gray fog?

Obviously not.

The boss added, "Besides, two days is my conservative estimate. I am also a little confused by the strength of your inspiration. If there is a rebound..."

Lin Yi's face darkened. If he hit rock bottom and rebounded, wouldn't he be done for right there?

"You will become a springboard for the angel statue to invade the stadium. If that happens, we will have to take corresponding measures in advance."

"Is it an effective way to solve pollution?" Lin Yi asked solemnly. He guessed that the corresponding measures mentioned by the sports students might be similar to the efficient life-saving operations of military doctors.

However, when those operations were used, too many considerations had already been given up, and the only focus was on saving the most basic human life.

Unexpectedly, the boss raised his eyebrows slightly, with a rare hint of amusement on his lips: "It's not about solving the pollution, but solving the problem of... you who will become a springboard."

Lin Yi couldn't help but shiver, feeling his scalp tingling and even goose bumps all over his body.

Good guy, just solve the problem once and for all, right?

"True One Size Fits All"

"Besides natural dissipation, there is a second method, right?" From the boss's tone, Lin Yi felt that the boss's main point was about the second method.

Lao Da Dao: "The rest of the solution sounds very simple - just absorb it."

"Absorb...absorb?" Lin Yi was surprised.

The boss nodded and said, "Ashes are a very pure form of pollution. They are also a very scarce resource."

“In terms of rarity, it is extremely valuable even for an angel sculpture.”

Lin Yi was secretly shocked. Did Maozi step on golden shit when he fell?
He knew that pollution was a supernatural power, and he also knew that things like the light bulbs of street lamps, the lights of old kerosene lamps, and the candles in the art building's candlesticks all contained supernatural properties. Now it seemed that these so-called ashes might be able to match or even surpass them.

Moreover, this ashes may be similar to that kind of "light" - the "light" of [Angels walk towards the light and do not lose their way]!
That's why the low-level monsters - ordinary sculptures and nocturnal species - did not come out to attack him, but directly attracted the BOSS-level angel sculpture!
The boss's solution is to let him transform the ashes into his own power, but at the same time, judging from the boss's tone, this process seems to be fraught with difficulties.

In fact, this is also conceivable. Take the light bulb in the lamppost for example. Mu Daxian blew up the lamp with his bare hands and almost broke his arm. The pseudo-people Nie Yun and Ge Qing who absorbed the extraordinary properties of the light bulb also died on the spot after absorbing the properties and turned into sculptures that could not die any more.

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that one should not take on a job if one does not have the necessary skills. When one's own status is not high enough, forcibly absorbing high-level extraordinary power will only do harm to oneself and no benefit.

Seeing Lin Yi's eyes flickering, the boss continued, "If there is water on your hands, you can wait for it to dry naturally, but a more efficient way is to lick it off directly."

"But ash is not water, and the risk of 'licking it off' is much higher than if it were to dry naturally."

Lin Yi hesitated and said, "But boss, you still prefer me to absorb it?"

"After weighing the pros and cons, it is better to absorb it directly..." The boss didn't mean to beat around the bush and gave the conclusion directly.

Lin Yi didn't hesitate, nodded, and replied: "Then I will absorb it."

"I haven't finished talking yet. Don't you want to ask what specific things need to be done?" The boss laughed instead.

Lin Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Choose one of the two. If you don't choose A, choose B... and for me, the only option is B, so it's the same to wait until I choose and understand the situation."

In any case, he didn't have time to spend two days in the gymnasium, and in many ways, the gymnasium was immeasurably more dangerous at night during the gray fog invasion.

The eldest nodded slightly. "The homeroom teacher asked you to come to the gym. She must have considered this... She might only be 70% sure that you are contaminated with the aura, but no matter what kind it is, it can be solved in the gym."

Lin Yi murmured: "Does every athlete have this ability?"

"I don't!" Li Huiyuan had already finished practicing her legs, and had been listening obediently with her big watery eyes open. Now she weakly raised her hand and said cutely.

The eldest brother glanced at her and continued, "You can find any athlete, but if you are not sure about the athlete, I will take you to the senior student. If A doesn't work, I will take you to B. If B doesn't work, I will take you to C... If none of them work, you will be brought to me."

"If I can't do it, I'll just leave you to the teacher."

"What if the teacher can't do it either..." Lin Yi suddenly became possessed by a hairy man, and a vile breath came out of his dog's mouth.

"If the teacher can't do it either... you will get a ticket to visit the basement of the gymnasium." The eldest brother looked at him with a hint of mockery, which made Lin Yi shrink his neck. He almost slapped himself twice, cursing inwardly that he really deserved it!

The boss continued, "Besides, there is no place on the entire campus better for you to absorb the ashes than the gymnasium."

"What should I do?" Lin Yi asked.

The boss said simply: "Training."

"Just need training?"

"You think it's easy?"

"Uh... no, I'm just curious about how to train."

"How to train is not something you need to consider." The boss said coolly, "I just need to know one thing from you. Do you plan to become a sports student?"

Lin Yi was caught off guard by the boss's sudden question, and subconsciously wanted to ask "How about showing me the rules for gym students first...", but the atmosphere was already so tense that he was really worried that if he said this, it would sound like "Can I try it before I buy it?" Brother, do you really think the boss is selling ice cream?

People's legs are no joke!
The eldest brother changed the question: "Let me ask you this: do you want to spend the night in the gymnasium or in the dormitory?"

"If I spend the night in the gymnasium, will I become a sports student?" Lin Yi asked.

"That's not the logic." The boss shook his head, "But it's almost the same. If you stay here overnight, you will most likely become a sports student."

Lin Yi's expression became serious, but Li Huiyuan beside him had a bright look in her eyes. Her watery eyes rolled around, and she seemed to be quite expectant.

"I...have to go back to the dormitory today." Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, but still said.

He remembered that if he became a sports student, he would most likely stay on campus and not be able to leave, which was contrary to his original intention.

The boss didn't show any emotion when he heard this, he just nodded calmly: "In this case, our training plan is to let you leave the campus at 20:00 at the latest."

"After you leave, just go straight back to the dormitory."

"Ah? Not going to the cafeteria?" Lin Yi was stunned. "Did the cafeteria fall?"

"You're still going to the cafeteria in this state?" The boss sneered, "When you go to the cafeteria, it's hard to say whether you're eating or being eaten. You still want to be treated as a dish?"

Lin Yi pursed his lips and did not refute this statement.

"Then you won't go to the classroom to sign in?"

"If you leave at 20:00, you'll barely be able to get back to your dorm before 22:00, so why go to the classroom? If you're still alive, just sign in tomorrow."

Lin Yi discovered that the boss seemed to be very familiar with the various rules and regulations on campus.

As expected, knowing is one thing, obeying is another.

You don't have to follow it, but it certainly doesn't hurt to know more.

"If you're lucky, you can leave before the sun sets, and then you can avoid a lot of trouble." The old man said, "But don't hold out for now. Start training first and see the results."

"I will increase or decrease the intensity of training based on your actual situation."

"Okay." Lin Yi nodded seriously.

The boss was very satisfied with Lin Yi's attitude: "From now on, you and Hui Huizi will train together."

"Ah~Yeah~~!" Li Huiyuan jumped up happily and made a "yeah" gesture with full of energy.

The eldest brother glanced at her, then said to Lin Yi, "Don't question the change in her personality. After becoming a sports student, some of her characteristics will be magnified. The lively part of Hui Huizi's personality has been magnified a lot."

"Oh! So that's it!" Lin Yi showed a look of realization, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind - could it be that the boss's appearance of being cold on the outside but warm on the inside is also a manifestation of his magnified personality?
He felt that the boss was like the kind of aloof and arrogant queen who kept people at a distance on weekdays, but was actually very caring towards her younger brother, and would consider some issues for her younger brother from the bottom of her heart - even though she would say some harsh words to scare people.

"No, wait a minute...why do I subconsciously think of myself as a 'little brother'?!"

"When did the invisible gap in status come about?!"

Just when Lin Yi was feeling confused, Li Huiyuan beside him asked with great anticipation: "Boss, what should we practice first?"

Lin Yi felt that Li Huiyuan had a kind of arrogant and proud attitude of "I am already familiar with this, and now I want to open your eyes"...

Lao Dadao: "Let's start with warm-up exercises. I'll be your sparring partner."

"Ah?" Li Huiyuan flattened her mouth, made a bitter face, and leaned her legs on the armrest, "Boss, how about I continue to stretch my legs..."

"It will be your turn later, so go warm up first." The boss said calmly.

"Boss, I really feel like I can press on for a while longer..." Li Huiyuan's body, which had been unable to press down before, seemed to suddenly possess unprecedented flexibility, and she pressed her chest to her knees in an instant. Not only that, she could even turn her head to the side and give the boss a sparkling smile.

The boss was speechless: "Lin Yi, go put her legs down."

"Ah? Oh oh oh..." Lin Yi quickly came to Li Huiyuan's side, looking at Li Huiyuan who was stretching her legs. Facing that pair of cartoon-like girl legs, he felt like he had no idea where to start, so he whispered, "Why don't you put it down yourself..."

"Okay..." Li Huiyuan put down her legs reluctantly like a cat with drooping ears.

Lin Yi noticed that Li Huiyuan's right foot, which had been injured in the shadow area of ​​the store, seemed to have recovered: "Is your foot okay?"

"It's okay." Hearing Lin Yi's concern, Li Huiyuan replied with a smile, and even stood on tiptoe to move her ankle, "Look, it can't be better!"

"It's a medical miracle!" Lin Yi couldn't help but say in a mean way.

Li Huiyuan had a few black lines on her forehead, and she joked sadly like a little ghost: "From your tone, it seems that you are a little unhappy..."

"No..." Lin Yi scratched his head and smiled bitterly, "I've been influenced by a mean friend of mine recently. He always says some nonsense. Don't mind it..."

"Okay, I'm just teasing you!" Li Huiyuan smiled and put her hands behind her back, walking lightly on tiptoe beside Lin Yi.

At this time, the boss was walking in front, leading the two of them to an open area.

Looking at the boss's back, Lin Yi moved closer to Li Huiyuan and asked in a low voice, "Are you considered a sports student now?"

"Yes!" Li Huiyuan nodded, "I am now an entry-level sports student."

"The entry-level stage? The kind for first-year sports students?" Lin Yi asked curiously. He had to train anyway, so he was not in a hurry to ask Li Huiyuan about the rules for sports students.

Of course, it would be necessary to ask her about it when she has time. She hopes that Li Huiyuan can recite it to him.

Li Huiyuan wrinkled her nose, thought for a moment, and then said, "It's not like a first-year sports student, because this stage is not calculated based on the time it takes to become a sports student, but based on one's own physical condition."

"It's a bit like the theory of the growth of unknown creatures that I studied..."

Lin Yi's expression became slightly serious. He suddenly remembered that the subject that Li Huiyuan chose to study seemed to be called some mysterious genealogy...

No, sister, are you serious about your mysterious genealogy?!
But my Kassel Dragon Slaying major is completely fake!
