Chapter 459 Lin Yi's Questions
Chapter 459 Lin Yi's Questions
"Maybe... he has something to hide?" Lin Yi guessed weakly.
"Who knows?" The shop owner-003 shrugged. "He is the kind of person who occasionally cheats. He is always calm and steady in doing things. When he cheats, it will cause a big mess..."
At this point, a lingering haze of gloom lingered between the brows of the convenience store owner-003.
"There's no point in telling you so much. You'll be leaving soon. Just do what you need to do."
He sighed softly and patted Lin Yi's shoulder.
Lin Yi opened his mouth. It was not appropriate for him to interrupt the complaints between the senior executives. Asking about the situation was already the limit. Saying more would be an overstepping of authority.
But when it comes to the art building, Lin Yi couldn't help but ask: "By the way, there doesn't seem to be much open area in the art building. Why don't you just remove the road signs? Even if you paint them, they won't be completely covered."
The shop owner-003 glanced at him with a faint smile on his face: "Such a simple question, why don't you think about it again?"
"Hmm...?" Lin Yi was startled, and thought for a while with the tone of the shop owner-003, "The reason why it is not torn down is because it is guiding people... It is painted over because we don't want people to pass by, but it is not painted over so that people can see clearly..."
He suddenly shuddered: "For 'screening'?!"
The store owner-003 smiled.
"You understand."
But Lin Yi's heart could not calm down for a long time: "This is to cover up the truth... is it to let people explore? Some of the rules in the code are also true, right?!"
"Using people's curiosity to achieve the purpose of screening?!"
The shop owner-003 said calmly: "You finally thought of this link."
Lin Yi took a breath, so the "Student Code" essentially has a guiding effect... ?
For those explorers who are eager to explore the secrets of the campus, it is a code of action!
There is nothing, and there is something!
Don’t do anything, just do whatever you can!
The last rule of the code is the means to cover this.
【Please pay attention to your physical health. If you find yourself experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, etc. during school, please find the dormitory manager or class teacher before staying overnight. He will take you to the infirmary, and the school doctor will take you to the school gate. When you see the blue school bus (note that it is a blue school bus, please ignore other colors), get on the school bus immediately. The driver will take you out of the campus and end the experience.】
Once a problem arises during the exploration, the screening process will be immediately initiated. Those who want to become sports students will be changed to sports students, those who want to become art students will be changed to art students, and then those who are unable to do anything but can be saved will be arranged to leave the campus on a blue bus, and those who cannot be saved can only accept their fate.
This is why the head teacher can make decisions for sports students, but the rules also include a school doctor!
Because the school doctor gave the final judgment!
There are many kinds of experiencers. For those who just live their days in numbness, the rules are just rules in the superficial sense, while for those who are ready to make some moves, the rules are a guide to action plus a backup plan - of course, if you encounter someone who overestimates his own abilities, even if there are backup plans, they will be of no use.
But no matter what, this serves the purpose of "screening".
Why, at this point, can there still be so many interpretations made from the Student Code itself?
No wonder there are so many rules and regulations on campus. I didn’t expect the official layout to be so detailed. The value of many details is increasing in KuKu.
Lin Yi pondered and said, "You mean... can I go to the observatory?"
The shop owner-003 said calmly like a charlatan: "When you feel you can go, you can go."
He tapped Lin Yi's chest and said, "Whether to go or not, follow your heart."
"Ah? Follow your heart...not the rules?" Lin Yi was stunned.
"If you are determined to go, the rules can't stop you." The shop owner-003 said, "Besides, the rules themselves are not a shackle, but a protection. But when you are out of the scope of protection that the rules can provide, it would be foolish to blindly abide by them."
"Whether the rules apply to you depends on your own...'position'."
"Besides, the code is like a textbook. For some people like you, you should use the code to understand the rules of the school's operation..."
The store owner-003 paused at this point, bringing the topic to an abrupt end.
Such a hasty pause gave Lin Yi a strange feeling. This feeling was very similar to some factors mentioned when he discussed with Tian Bufan. Could it be that the convenience store owner-003 was also a part of the plan that "he" didn't know about?
But who can communicate with the convenience store owner?
No one has ever been to the store...
Could it be... Liangzi?
Except for Liangzi, no one in the entire dormitory has ever been to the canteen, and Liangzi was the only one who came last time he entered the school.
In Wei Liang's account of "the last two days I spent in the dormitory in a daze", he seemed to have done quite a lot...
Lin Yi originally thought that with so many fake people, Wei Liang was already invincible, so what kind of shady operation was this that made the convenience store such a mess?
The most annoying thing is that the store owner-003 hasn't caught Wei Liang yet...
The corner of the shop owner's eye twitched unconsciously, and he seemed to realize that his tone was too "familiar" and not the right tone for a first meeting, so he coughed dryly and said, "If you have anything else to ask... it's best not to ask about the situation in the art building."
Lin Yi pursed his lips. He wanted to ask for more details about the art building, but seeing that the shop owner-003 had thrown out a question to block him, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and asked, "Can I ask another question about the art building...?"
"Just ask."
"Since you can infiltrate the layer to the Art Building, doesn't that mean you can participate in the battle there at any time? And since you can bring a small part of the "Angel" back to the canteen, why don't you bring back Lao Mo's heart yourself, and let me go through all this trouble?"
"Is that a question?" The shop owner-003 glanced at him, "I didn't answer one, and you're asking for another, right?"
Lin Yi shrank his head awkwardly: "It's just a sentence, so let's just take it as one..."
"Since you are so eager to learn, I will tell you reluctantly." The shop owner said, "First, I cannot infiltrate easily and accurately. I left secret patterns in Lao Mo's heart and bag. Only when they are combined at a critical moment can I locate the real-time coordinates."
"And that kind of secret pattern is not a kind of secret pattern that can exist permanently. Even if it is engraved in advance, it will not take effect after a long time. In addition, the location of the clock tower is affected by the "Angel" field, and the layer interference is extremely serious, which cannot be easily penetrated... So I can't leave a secret pattern on the clock tower."
"Even among the 'first apostles', only a few have the ability to engrave permanent secret patterns."
"Otherwise, if the top combat forces can infiltrate the campus at will with the help of secret patterns, the security level of the campus will be raised to an unknown level."
"You think too naively about the battlefield."
Lin Yi pursed his lips, but also felt ashamed for asking this question: "So if we want to help the Art Building, the only way is to do it with our main body?"
"That's right, and that's exactly what athletes do."
"The principal has already gone there, so I have to stay on campus in case anything goes wrong."
"What about the security guards? Aren't they enough to protect the campus?" Lin Yi asked.
The owner of the convenience store-003 shook his head slightly: "On a battlefield, it is not enough to have only generals charging into battle. There must be a commander in chief. Besides, you don't think that protecting the campus is just patrolling like a security guard, right?" "Uh..." Lin Yi was speechless.
The shop owner-003 shook his head helplessly: "Stabilizing the layer is the most important thing. You think the battle is only on the physical level, but the battle at my level also involves the layer level. You...may understand it later."
"As for Lao Mo's heart, it cannot be compared with the body of the 'angel'. I can't give it back, so I give it to you. In the meantime, your breath can warm it up."
"Oh...I see..." Lin Yi seemed to be thinking about something, but nodded.
As he walked, a shopping terminal appeared in front of Lin Yi, and the exit of the convenience store was already in sight.
"Oh, by the way, I actually have a question about the art building..."
"..." The convenience store owner-003 was suddenly speechless, but Lin Yi lifted up his left sleeve and showed the forearm with the secret pattern branded by the magician in front of the convenience store owner-003.
"Boss, my hand... seems to have been engraved with some secret patterns by the 'Master of the Magic'." Lin Yi said weakly.
The convenience store owner-003 mentioned the "first apostle" several times, so Lin Yi said this name without hesitation. Besides, with the status of the convenience store owner-003, he should be able to talk freely, right?
Shop owner-003: "..."
His usually calm face tensed slightly, "When was it carved in?"
He didn't know about this.
Lin Yi observed the situation and thought it was not good: "When I leave the gallery."
"Gallery..." Shop owner-003 murmured, "The layer where the "Quartermaster" is located overlaps with the gallery... But the "Mage" was "exiled in time", how did she target you?"
"It's unreasonable..."
Lin Yi frowned. Hearing the words "It's unreasonable" from the shop owner-003 was like a stroke on the book of life and death...
"Tell me the details of what happened at that time. Don't leave out any details." The store owner-003 pulled Lin Yi to stop at the shopping terminal and asked him carefully.
Lin Yi immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly recounted his experience in detail: "The situation was like this..."
After hearing this, the shop owner-003 couldn't help but rub his chin and think about it.
"It seems that the Ouroboros Ring has enhanced your dream-building ability, allowing you to receive the 'signal' that the magician dispersed in the chaotic time dimension like a strengthened signal device... In simple terms, you searched for an unpopular channel, and then the information flow came all at once, smelling your scent..."
"This secret pattern... from your tone, it seems like the saw of the magician was branded? So that's how the saw came about..."
He remembered the scene where Lin Yi used a hacksaw to break through the encirclement of alien angels on the stone bridge, but he did not pay much attention to it at the time. It was only now that Lin Yi mentioned it that he remembered it.
Lin Yi nodded and said, "Yes..."
The shop owner-003 thought for a moment and said, "It's better to use this secret pattern less often. The magician's stuff is too weird. Just treat it as a trump card that can only be used when you have no choice."
"Okay." Lin Yi listened to the advice.
Then, under the gaze of the convenience store owner-003, he remained still for a while.
"Why... don't you want to check out?" The store owner-003 pointed at the shopping terminal.
"Hehe..." Lin Yi smiled embarrassedly, "We just finished talking about the problem with the Art Building. I still have some campuses..."
The shop owner-003's face suddenly darkened: "We're already at the exit, and you haven't finished asking questions yet?"
“I’m studious…”
"What are you trying to learn? I'll give you one more question. Ask your questions and then leave." The store owner-003 said seriously with a stern face.
Lin Yi quickly said, "Okay, okay... I just want to ask, what does the campus look like after midnight?"
"The campus after midnight..." The shop owner-0 was a little surprised. "Why are you asking this?"
Lin Yi said: "I'm a little curious, mainly I want to know...will the dormitory building be turned upside down?"
The shop owner-003 narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. Finally, he shook his head: "It won't be upside down."
"No...Oh, okay." Lin Yi seemed a little disappointed. It seemed that there was another explanation for the upside-down situation of the dormitory building.
"But..." the shop owner-003 added, "We can't just judge things by appearances. I can only tell you that after midnight, the layers of the campus fluctuate violently, and the rules of physics... may not be absolutely effective."
"For the rest, you need to feel it yourself."
"Oh... I understand." Lin Yi whispered.
He actually doesn't understand shit.
But when he looked at the dark face of the convenience store owner-003, he felt more and more like a sinner who had ruined other people's wonderful time of watching movies and appreciating art before going to bed. He felt that if he continued to push him, the convenience store owner-003 would really throw him out.
He then quickly took out three rolls of biscuits and started to pay the bill.
While paying the bill, he showed Tie Niu an expression of "Ah! Got it!" and slapped his head and said, "That's right!"
"..." The corner of the shop owner-003's eye twitched slightly, but when he saw Lin Yi taking out his student ID and swiping it, he restrained himself.
Lin Yi said quickly: "There is a "matrix" deep in the green forest belt. The "matrix" can create angry angels. Many fanatics are tinkering with something there. It seems to be related to their so-called "glorious evolution"..."
"I know." said the store owner-003.
"Ah? Oh...that's right..." Lin Yi was a little surprised at first, but he reacted immediately. With the canteen owner-003 in charge of the campus, how could anything escape his eyes?
So... the convenience store owner-003 completely acknowledged that the fanatics were causing trouble?
