Chapter 334: Who are you scolding for the power bank?

Lin Yi was slightly stunned, and then he found that not only the boss, but also the others who had not turned around to leave at the gymnasium entrance, had heard such a sound.

There was a strange light in the boss's eyes, and he vaguely sensed some ominous signs: "Lao Mo?"

"Lao Mo?" Lin Yi was shocked and looked over quickly.

In the darkness, a figure walked out slowly.

The man was wearing a shiny black apron, a dirty white chef's uniform, and a butcher knife with a shell on his waist. It was undoubtedly Lao Mo.

Lao Mo pulled at his chef's hat, and his voice was no longer as dry, hoarse, and intermittent as usual. Instead, his pronunciation was clear and fluent: "Long time no see... Boss."

The boss nodded slightly, his eyes calm, "Since that day, you have never left the cafeteria again, how come..."

"The boss is back." Lao Mo said, "So I'm going to take care of some personal matters."

"Boss?" The boss' eyes lit up. "He's back? How is he?"

Lin Yi's eyes flickered, and he thought that this "boss" should be the owner of the convenience store, right?

So he quickly pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Lao Mo said: "You should have guessed that his condition is not good... The injury is more serious than I thought."

"Then why are you leaving the cafeteria?" The boss' tone was a little more questioning.

Lao Mo sighed: "There are some personal matters that still need to be dealt with."

"Then...what does this have to do with Lin Yi?" The boss pulled Lin Yi behind him and asked vigilantly.

Lao Mo glanced at Lin Yi and said, "I told my boss that I need to go to the art building."

"You don't even know your own situation, and you go to the art building, do you want to die?" the boss questioned.

The boss's reaction was what Lao Mo expected, so he replied: "There will be a lot of problems along the way... If I rely on myself alone, the chances are slim, so... I came to find him."

Li Huiyuan looked at Lin Yi, and the athletes around him also looked at Lin Yi in confusion, as if they wanted to figure out what was going on.

"Although he is somewhat special, what's the point of looking for him if you want to get things done?"

Lao Mo said: "You know my situation well. After leaving the cafeteria, my strength will be weakened, and I will not be able to get effective supplies, so I need a 'mobile supply station'."

Lao Mo pointed at Lin Yi and said, "I have been observing him for a long time. There are remnants of ash in his body... Moreover, he has a strange characteristic. In the past few days, I have observed his behavior in the cafeteria..."

"If I draw extraordinary power from his body, I can ensure that I will not consume my own power..."

"This way, I can preserve my strength and arrive at the Art Building in the best possible condition."

“So, he is the most suitable choice for me.”

Lin Yi wanted to curse, who the hell are you cursing at?

But he couldn't utter a word. It seemed that this was not something he could decide. However, Lao Mo seemed to say... to take him to the art building?

“What’s going on…?”

If he could make a smooth round trip, he would be happy to go. After all, there are not many opportunities to go to the art building as a non-art student, so he has to cherish the opportunity if he encounters it.

But if there is no return, then he will definitely decline the offer.

However, from Lao Mo's tone, it seems that he has mastered a unique round-trip route?
After listening to Lao Mo's words, the boss couldn't help but think about it. Lao Mo did master the ability to draw extraordinary power from other polluters.

Lin Yi was silent as well. Of course he knew that Lao Mo had defended the cafeteria alone and had bled to death. Then he began to bleed the blood of the night creatures. In the end, with an "unyielding" attitude, he pulled the enemy's blood bar and connected it to his own blood bar. He then replenished his blood bar while fighting, and finally waited until the store owner returned.

So now, Lao Mo is fucking planning to put his blue bar on top of his own blue bar...? !

What's "Lend me your blue bar and fight with me"?

How does Lao Mo know that his mana bar can be replenished continuously?
Then again... Is it time to give Lao Mo the "super recovery ability" that he awakened after the training with the boss in the gym? !

Lao Mo continued, "I just need to ask him to go with me to the Art Building. Once we're done there, I'll have a way to get him back."

The boss still protected Lin Yi and said in a low voice: "It's meaningless for you to tell me these things. Besides, all the ashes in his body have been absorbed by him."

"Isn't this better?" Lao Mo almost laughed out loud when he heard it, and looked at Lin Yi with even more loving eyes.

"..." The boss was silent for a moment, "But, Lin Yi is not an object."

Lao Mo nodded and looked at Lin Yi: "What I just said was also for you. If you are willing, we can leave now. If you are not willing, I can also take you with me."

"Let me remind you. Based on my judgment of you, even if you leave the gymnasium now, the probability of you being able to return to your dormitory smoothly is not very high. We may even meet in the Art Building..."

"If we really meet in that way, you will regret not listening to my advice now."

When Lin Yi heard the first half of the sentence, he thought, what the hell is this? Why does it sound so familiar, just like Tang Sanzang's sentence - "Do you want to go to the West with me, or do you want me to send you there?"

But when he heard the second half of the sentence, his heart began to beat uncontrollably again. What did this sentence mean?
What does it mean, "There's still a chance we can meet in the art building"?
How come Old Mo looks so honest, but has to tell a riddle or two at critical moments?
Lin Yi couldn't help but take a breath - of course, in reality, he didn't know if it was because he was aroused by Tian Bufan's "desire to explore", he really wanted to go to the art building, and when he heard Lao Mo say that he would bring him back, this desire became even stronger.

He always felt... from the first time he exchanged perspectives with Mao Feiyang, it seemed as if something was calling him over there in the Art Building.

The mysterious and strange signpost placed at the entrance of the spiral staircase appeared in his mind again for some reason - the altar, the observatory... those wooden signposts painted with red paint lingered in his mind like ghostly shadows.

The artwork in the shape of a world tree in the lobby of the art building, which the school named "Living Towards Death", made him feel an indescribable sense of throbbing...

There was also the overall image of the art building, that kind of semi-ruined version of the Vogelholtz Castle-like complex...even through the dream it gave him many feelings that were difficult to describe easily. If he had the chance, he really wanted to go to the art building to take a look.

The "round trip" that Lao Mo mentioned undoubtedly made him as excited as an air ticket.

"I..." Lin Yi spoke slowly.

The boss interrupted, "Think it over carefully. If you don't want to go, no one can take you away from the gym under my nose."

The boss's tone was unprecedentedly domineering, which made Lao Mo frown. Li Huiyuan also pulled Lin Yi's hand, with worry in her eyes, as if she wanted Lin Yi to stay.

Lin Yi then looked at Lao Mo and asked in a deep voice: "Um... Lao Mo, is the round trip you mentioned reliable?"

Hearing this, Lao Mo's stiff face showed a creepy smile that was uglier than crying: "Don't worry, when we get there, even if I die, I will make sure you get out of this unscathed."

Hearing Lao Mo's promise, Lin Yi felt that this sentence was somehow awkward to explain, but he still nodded: "Then go..."

Seeing that Lin Yi had made the decision, the eldest brother did not try to persuade him any more. They were all adults and had to be responsible for the choice they made.

"Lao Mo." said the old man.

Lao Mo then looked at the boss.

The boss continued, "How long will it take you to leave?"

"The sooner the better."

"In that case, since Lin Yi is not in a hurry to go back to the dormitory, let me tell him something."

Seeing that the boss had agreed, Lao Mo naturally would not refuse, so he nodded.

The boss then turned to look at Lin Yi and said calmly: "Once we leave the gym, things will become quite complicated. At least I won't be able to protect you in many ways."

Lin Yi felt warm in his heart, nodded silently, and continued to listen to the boss's instructions.

"Also, the gymnasium is different from other buildings. There are some things you can do without scruples in the gymnasium, but you need to be more cautious in other places on campus."

"Regarding the content of the sports student code... you should have read it from Huihuizi. I gave you the physical copy so that you can take it out and read it when your mind is too confused to remember."

"Your identity has become very subtle. Putting aside your identity credentials, your characteristics are already infinitely close to those of a sports student, so you can follow the sports student code and ignore the student code when you think it is appropriate..."

“You have to remember that all the rules are based on the same underlying logic… Based on this logic, other rules are further refined based on the different architecture and identity positioning.”

"So, for some people, the rules must be detailed enough to ensure that they don't step on landmines. However, for people like us, the rules are not 'absolute' but 'relative'."

“When you really understand the code, you can simplify it, really grasp the logic of the code, and do something… that you might want to do in the future.”

Lin Yi was a little dazed. How come the boss' instructions suddenly rose to a higher level? He was confused for a moment.

"Alright." The boss patted him on the shoulder, "Follow Lao Mo carefully. Although this guy is one of the most abnormal people on campus, he is also one of the most reliable people."

Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully: "I see...Thank you, Boss."

The eldest brother responded coldly: "It's good to know. Don't forget what I taught you."

Lin Yi nodded.

"In that case, let's go." Lao Mo looked at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi then walked out from behind the boss and left the gymnasium.

Just then, the boss glanced at the dark and gloomy sky outside.

"Lao Mo..."

"Ok?"

"Do you need a light?"

“Shh…”

Lao Mo paused for a moment.

"No, the gray fog has arrived, and you need it more than I do."

"It's enough for me to have Lin Yi."

After saying that, he turned calmly and walked out of the gymnasium.

Looking at Lao Mo's back, Lin Yi's mouth twitched fiercely. He thought to himself, the way Lao Mo looked at me didn't seem like he was looking at an ordinary power bank, but more like a magic weapon...

And he didn't know, he always felt that the scene when Lao Mo took him away was like Guan Erye thanking Boss Cao for giving him Red Hare...

Could it be that I am the legendary... Red Hare among men? !

X023年5月9日，20:33，体育馆区域。

After the heavy rain, the campus roads were shrouded in a layer of fog. The fog was lingering in the air and spreading silently, blurring the boundaries of the cobblestone roads and the boundary between the orange light of the lamp posts and the darkness.

The wet road surface reflected the faint light, and the small puddles formed by raindrops were looming in the mist, like a broken mirror. Lin Yi followed Lao Mo silently, moving forward slowly. The only sound in the air was the slight "click" sound made by the soles of his shoes touching the road.

Against the backdrop of the light from the lamp posts and the darkness, the flowing mist seemed to be depicted in an alternative form with exceptional clarity, and the darkness seemed to be rendered layer by layer, making the green forest belt in the distance look like some distorted human figures.

Lin Yi could tell that these were not nocturnal species, and there were not even any nocturnal species following them. He didn't know if it was because Lao Mo's deterrent power was greater.

The wisps of mist wrapped around the tree trunks, as if they were white cloaks that nature had put on the trees. There were some blurry outlines in front, but in the mist it was impossible to tell whether it was a mountain or other long buildings.

Those dark shadows seemed like giant beasts growing out of the clouds. Only their general shapes and some faint lights that could not be distinguished as street lamps or other lights could be seen.

At this point on the cobblestone road, there was no experiencer to be seen. Those who should have left had already left, and those who should not have left were left in the gymnasium. Now the road was deserted, and even the light had a somewhat creepy filter.

After Lao Mo left the gymnasium, he shut his mouth and remained silent like a mute.

Seeing that Lao Mo didn't say anything, Lin Yi didn't speak either. Although he had a lot of information he wanted to know from Lao Mo, he and Lao Mo were not that familiar with each other after all. If he spoke rashly, it would give people the feeling that his power bank had become a spirit, which would be a bit abrupt.

So he was like a student walking home on his way home and looking at the back of the girl he had a crush on, hesitating and wondering whether to find a topic to break the ice.
