Chapter 527 The principal has a notebook

Chapter 527 "The Principal" has a notebook (double the monthly ticket request!)

Lin Yi sat upright.

Tian Bufan continued, "I won't talk about anything too general. You've already been to the Art Building, so you know that S City University and the "Black Moon Outpost" in the Art Building are connected on the map, right?"

Hearing the words "Black Moon Outpost" so smoothly from Tian Bufan's mouth, and thinking of the scene where Tian Bufan had seriously discussed the "Art Building" with him before, Lin Yi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth fiercely...

How much drama has Mr. Tian put on to facilitate my "adaptation" process?
When I didn't know about the "Black Moon Outpost", you didn't know either. Once I knew about it, you knew about it too...

Your acting is so unprofessional!

Lin Yi nodded silently: "You continue..."

"Don't look at me like that... I only found out after 'unpacking' some of the details."

"Hey! You just said there's no such thing as 'decompression'! Stop it, Mr. Tian!"

Tian Bufan continued: "The Black Moon Outpost was built in Scandinavia in Northern Europe to prevent the gray fog from infiltrating the world, and spread the culture to the world through the great voyages of voyage..."

"You mean, Northern Europe is the origin of world culture?" Lin Yi asked subconsciously.

"Bullshit." Tian Bufan gave him a side-eye.

"Then why... did you mention spreading?" Lin Yi asked.

Tian Bufan slowly uttered three words: "Classic of Mountains and Seas."

"Classic of Mountains and Seas?!" Lin Yi was shocked.

Tian Bufan continued, "The ancestors of the Chinese nation were the first to glimpse the extraordinary. That era was lost in history, but later generations called it "Yu"... The ancestors of the Yu Dynasty followed the footsteps of the extraordinary and preserved their travels in the form of a "classic", which later became the "Classic of Mountains and Seas." "

"After discovering the invasion of the gray fog, they built the first fortress at the junction of the gray fog and the world, which is the "Black Moon Outpost."

"The establishment of the Black Moon Outpost was a long process, and those people were the first apostles."

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas...the first apostle..." Lin Yi opened his mouth hesitantly, still unable to react.

Tian Bufan continued, "Do you know what the 'root' behind the gray fog is?"

A strange color flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and his interest surged, but he asked back, "Ah? Is this something I can know?"

"That's not right. How do you know something that even the official doesn't know?"

Lin Yi remembered that Lao Mo, who had "died" once and was summoned into the "Returning Sea Tide", seemed to have no idea what the "root" was...

How did Mr. Tian know this?
Could it be that... he had died? Had he gone further than Lao Mo in the "Return to the Sea"?

But...aren't there "angels" in the depths of the "Returning Sea Tide"?

Once you reach that depth, can you ever come back?
He looked at Tian Bufan... What the hell is going on with Mr. Tian's calm expression? !

Tian Bufan sneered: "Are you still pretending to be with me? Then I won't say anything."

"No, no, no, there's nothing wrong with saying it in the dormitory!" Lin Yi said quickly, "Just tell me! You don't have to make me kneel down and beg you, do you?"

Tian Bufan was speechless: "I'm not sure, but I'm more than 50% sure it's as I speculated."

Okay, okay, if it’s less than 100%, even if it’s 99%, it’s still more than 50%, right... Lin Yi muttered in his heart.

Tian Bufan continued: "The invasion of gray fog is actually a phenomenon caused by the fluctuations in the "root" field. So, when we know that the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is related to it, we only need a simple speculation to speculate the possible manifestation of the "root". "

"Classic of Mountains and Seas"! Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Tian Bufan said: "The Overseas Northern Classic and the Great Wilderness Northern Classic of the Classic of Mountains and Seas both record that 'the god of Zhongshan is named Zhuyin, with a human face and a red snake body, a thousand miles long, and lives in Zhangwei Mountain. It is in the northwest overseas, north of the Chishui River.'"

He took a deep breath.

"Zhulong, open your eyes for day, close your eyes for night, blow your breath for winter, exhale your breath for summer."

"The so-called 'gray fog invasion' is nothing more than the breathing of the Candle Dragon while it is asleep..."

"The real god from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Lin Yi was speechless.

Tian Bufan was much calmer: "The so-called gods may be some kind of life forms beyond our cognition, some kind of existence in a higher dimension or energy form... We don't know what they are, but the ancestors of the Yu Dynasty used the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to establish the 'cognition' for future generations, and named it "Zhulong"..."

"To treat everything as myth, to depict its spirit and downplay its form, can make people respect it instead of fear it." Doing so may be another kind of cognitive protection.

"And Zhulong's 'divinity' was diluted into extraordinary power of varying concentrations through the invasion of gray fog. The closer you are to Him, the more you can possess similar forms and powers..."

"For example, the 'Angel', the one that exists in the gray fog..."

"In later civilizations, there were similar records of 'angels' or 'origins', such as 'Hydra', 'Jörmungandr', and even 'Leviathan', 'Satan', and so on..."

"They may not be able to distinguish between 'angels' and 'sources' at all, and it is precisely because of their ignorance that they have saved their lives."

Lin Yi thought of the lost soul in the desolate land, the horrific body called "Shadow of the Origin", "Shadow of Hydra" and "Shadow of Jörmungandr".

He looked solemn: "So China is the origin of world culture..."

"To be precise, it's 'Yu'." Tian Bufan corrected, "This is not the point. The 'first apostles' spread culture to the world, and then each civilization group derived from it, so that each group believed that they were the 'origin' and orthodox..."

"What they call origin is just the time when those things were rearranged and recorded."

"Some things cannot be put on the table and proved by a 'certificate', nor can they be snatched away by a 'world heritage application'... Datong is Datong, there is no need to argue about it or not."

"I originally just wanted to give you a brief introduction to the Black Moon Outpost, but I ended up talking so much that I went off topic." Tian Bufan shook his head slightly, "Don't waste time, let's get back to the point... Tell me what we are here for."

Although the "origin" is something worth talking about, it is too far away and it sounds like a myth. Moreover, in the current situation, the popular science element outweighs other factors.

Time is limited, so there is no need to say more.

"Uh...you say." Lin Yi shrank his neck. He was quite interested.

But despite this, he also knew the importance of science. After leaving the campus, he would have plenty of time to do some science popularization. The main point was the purpose of his coming here. There were too many scenes of "the murderer is... uh, ah...". If he went to bed at midnight because of too much science popularization, it would be too much trouble.

So he quickly continued to listen to Tian Bufan's lecture.

Tian Bufan said: "A lot of things happened in the long period of time after the establishment of the "Black Moon Outpost", so I will skip them for now... Later, the entire "Black Moon Outpost" was sunk into the layer, and it was destroyed together with the invading gray fog."

"Then here comes the point." "In X999, the originally silent gray fog once again penetrated the layer, causing a "revival" event on a global scale... The predecessor of this university was one of the penetration points."

"The Chinese government at that time built the campus at a very heavy cost, and contacted the Black Moon Outpost to transform it into an Art Building... You should know all this."

"Yeah." Lin Yi nodded.

"What I want to talk about is what happened next." Tian Bufan said, "S City University has a "president". He has been in charge of the entire campus from scratch to completion."

"To make it easier to understand, let me give you an analogy. He is similar to the "Lord of the Forbidden Land" in the novels, sitting here, confronting the gray fog world."

"And the positioning of the campus is here—" Tian Bufan finally got to the point. "The campus is one of the "walls of the world" and a "stabilizing force" to resist the gray fog, and the principal is..."

"Is it Sun Wukong?" Lin Yi said subconsciously.

Tian Bufan curled his lips: "...Ahem, it's the coiled dragon on the pillar..."

Lin Yi: “…”

"Ahem." Tian Bufan coughed dryly, "None of this matters anymore. Anyway, as time went by, the "Principal" left the campus for some unknown reason and entered the gray fog world."

"The departure of the principal broke the balance of confrontation with the gray fog world, and the level of this imbalanced disaster has undergone a qualitative change over time, further causing the current campus to be on the verge of collapse."

"The authorities were unable to find the 'Principal', so they sent 'us'..."

Lin Yi's eyes sparkled with brilliance: "So we are actually officially recognized as a weapon for a comeback?!"

He was inexplicably excited and felt flattered.

But he found that Tian Bufan's expression was a little strange.

"Uh... is there something wrong?"

Tian Bufan held his forehead lightly: "Listen to me..."

"The authorities can't find the 'Principal' directly, so they sent us into the campus. Our purpose is not to find the 'Principal'. The gray fog world is too dangerous. If we go in, we don't know what will come back..."

"Then...?" Lin Yi asked.

"According to official records, the 'Principal' has a notebook..." Tian Bufan said slowly.

notebook!
The principal's notebook!

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.

[…Notes are the key…]

[…is the only clue…]

[Compass...Lost...Found...]

When the "Original Ash Apostle" appeared, the broken low humming sound that came into his ears along with the chanting sound, could it be that it was the principal's words? !
[I, the principal, speak to the gray fog world! ]

Pieces of information appeared in his mind, scrolling over and over again, making him feel more and more terrified the more he thought about it.

"Notes...and then what?" Lin Yi did not first talk about what he had just heard from the "Original Ash Apostle", but instead asked in response to Tian Bufan's words.

Tian Bufan said: "The principal has a notebook, which is said to record many things he has experienced since he participated in the construction of the campus."

"The official purpose of sending us here is to obtain this notebook."

【The notebook is the key, the only clue. 】

The words of "Original Ash Apostle" once again emerged in Lin Yi's mind.

"What exactly is recorded in this notebook? No, the question should be, what does the official want to get from that notebook?" Lin Yi asked.

Tian Bufan shook his head: "I don't know about that..."

Really? I don't believe it. Lin Yi almost blurted out these six words, but then he felt that the taste of these six words seemed a bit strong and seemed to deserve a beating, so he swallowed them.

"Perhaps there are clues related to the principal's disappearance, or it records some special secrets of the campus, or... maybe it's an investigation report written by someone at the principal's level?" Tian Bufan added, glancing at Lin Yi's notes, "If it was you, what would you write in your notebook?"

"The words in my notebook... are the information I discovered bit by bit. Some of the information is inconsistent, because the new information has covered the previous wrong information..."

Tian Bufan smiled: "So, in the final analysis, what is recorded in the notebook may be... some kind of "way"?"

"A way?!" Lin Yi exclaimed, "The principal's way?"

"Who knows?" Tian Bufan said, "Or maybe there is an answer? Anyway, you don't need to understand what the notebook is for now. You just need to know that the official information is that 'the principal's notebook is related to the collapse of the campus'."

"If we can find the principal's notebook and hand it over to the authorities outside the school, then perhaps there is a way to prevent the collapse of the school."

Really? I don't believe it... Tian Bufan was speaking seriously, but Lin Yi always felt that something was wrong.

The school district collapsed because of the disappearance of the principal.

If they want to prevent the collapse of the campus, they need the principal to return.

If the principal doesn't come back, what's the use of having a notebook? Is it possible that a principal can appear out of thin air?

and many more!

Created out of thin air...?!

It was as if a flash of lightning passed through Lin Yi's mind, and his inspiration suddenly burst out!

That day, before leaving, Homeroom Teacher-039 took off his uniform and his name badge.

So... could it be that the notebook that the principal left behind before he disappeared was...

The identity certificate of the "Principal"? !
If this is the case, then what the authorities want to get is most likely not the "Principal's Notebook", but that "channel" - "the Principal's channel"!
"The principal's notebook is the principal's identity certificate!" Lin Yi blurted out, "Because the 'principal' is missing, the authorities want to reclaim the principal's identity certificate!"

"If you get the notebook, you get the "identity" of the "principal"!"

"But...if that's the case, if we get the notebook, will the one of us who gets the notebook become the "Principal"? "
