Chapter 531 Tactical Layout
"Uh...you say."

"There is a mural over there in the observatory. According to official information, it is the original painting of "Starry Night" created by Vincent Van Gogh."

"There should be a "coordinate" hidden in "Starry Night". "

"You mean that 'coordinate'...?!" Lin Yi's pupils shrank slightly, and he remembered that Lao Mo had said something similar to him.

The first "Apostle" to stabilize the layer's vision observed the layer fluctuations during the layer jump and linked them to the mystery of the "Starry Night".

Later, after a long exploration and heated discussion about the layer transition by a group of "Apostles", they came to the conclusion that ["Starry Night" is most likely a coordinate].

A coordinate that can only be found when jumping between layers, corresponding to endless mysteries and the extraordinary!

Lin Yi's mind flashed back to what Lao Mo said when he introduced him:
[“The Apostles speculated that Van Gogh did not ‘leave something at the coordinates’, but ‘used these coordinates to locate something’. The Apostles firmly believed that these might be the coordinates of ‘his’ location, or the location of the ‘source’ in the sea. ”]

Now, hearing Tian Bufan's words again, Lin Yi couldn't help but connect the dots and said in a lost voice: "Do you mean... that coordinate corresponds to the location of the "Principal's Office"? !"

"But that's not right!"

“Isn’t that logical?”

"The time doesn't even match!"

Lin Yi asked three questions in a row, and added at the end: "It is impossible for the principal to exist earlier than the "Apostle", right?"

Tian Bufan asked calmly: "But have you ever considered that if the "Principal" himself is one of the "Apostles"? "

“……?!” Tian Bufan’s calm words made Lin Yi’s heart seem to skip a beat. He took a deep breath, “Hiss—No way…?”

"I don't know either." Tian Bufan shrugged. "This question doesn't really matter which order it comes in. The reason you're confused is that you misunderstood the logic of the question."

"I didn't mean 'the coordinates corresponding to the "Starry Night" are the "Principal's Office", but 'the principal used the place corresponding to those coordinates as the "Principal's Office"'."

"Perhaps the principal has learned some kind of mystery from Van Gogh's "Starry Night" and has taken the point corresponding to the "coordinates" as the principal's office."

"I have been emphasizing one thing all along. The "Principal's Office" itself is not certain... What I mean is, whichever side the "Principal" thinks is the "Principal's Office" before he leaves is the "Principal's Office."

"The existence of a 'forbidden land' does not lie in the area, but in the owner of the area."

"The key factor that influenced this decision was the notebook that represented the identity of the principal."

"Of all the places that could be the principal's office, wherever the principal's notebook is, that's the principal's office."

"You... understand?"

Tian Bufan looked at Lin Yi deeply.

Lin Yi, for some unknown reason, looked at his notebook with deep eyes.

An absurd and strange thought popped up in his mind.

"If the principal's notebook is here... then this is the 'Principal's Office'?"

Tian Bufan was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect Lin Yi to ask such a question, but he still said, "In a sense... that's it."

Lin Yi remained silent, just silently pulled the notebook in front of him and clicked lightly.

"Take my notebook for example..." he said slowly, "If this notebook of mine were to be lost, the harm it would cause would definitely be very great."

Tian Bufan narrowed his eyes: "What do you want to say?"

"I was just thinking... my notebook only had a few things written on it, and this is what happened. If the principal's notebook was taken out of the campus... what level of harm would it cause?"

"Will it directly cause some kind of large-scale pollution and mutation?"

Tian Bufan pondered and said, "As long as they are taken in in time, it won't happen..."

"The authorities have sufficient containment and control measures, but good steel must be used where it is needed most. Therefore, such measures must be used against sufficiently valuable entities. Otherwise, it is like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito. Not to mention the effectiveness, there is even a certain possibility of harming one's own people."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi remained silent, frowning slightly, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

Tian Bufan didn't pay attention to his frown, but continued: "So... we need to conduct a relatively complete exploration of the campus, and then we can carry out targeted exploration of special areas."

"And that's exactly why I asked you to explore the campus step by step."

"It's not just you, Kuai Kuai, Wei Sang, and even Mao Zi, we are all exploring the campus to a certain extent, but everyone is observing different plates."

"As a result, this step took us five days."

“But it worked really well.”

When Tian Bufan said this, there was still a look of relief on his face.

"What we have to do tomorrow is to split up and investigate the points corresponding to the above speculations... and confirm them one by one,"

"As long as one of them is confirmed, we can act immediately if we can. If not, we still have one night to make long-term plans."

"But if the principal's notebook is found in the art building, we will need to take some risks."

"Because the maximum cycle of movement on campus is 24 hours... In other words, any two locations on campus can complete a one-way movement within 24 hours, but due to the round-trip route, in terms of time, we only have one chance to travel to and from the Art Building."

"Oh no... Strictly speaking, if we are prepared, we can travel back and forth twice." Tian Bufan seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Lin Yi with burning eyes, then nodded with certainty, "Yes, that's right, we can travel back and forth twice..."

"What... do you mean by looking at me like that?" Lin Yi had a bad feeling.

"'Dream Boundaries', Lao Lin." Tian Bufan said shockingly.

Lin Yi was furious: "Huh? Didn't you just say that we are architectural designers?"

Tian Bufan joked: "I just said that you have... some knowledge of all professions."

"Okay... then you continue." Lin Yi spread his hands. He didn't know if it was because his memory had not yet recovered, but he always felt that Tian Bufan understood and knew him better than he did.

This also gradually confirms his own guess that perhaps what Tian Bufan is telling him now is another "anchor"... an "anchor plus" that is suitable for all-round, multi-level, and deep fields at this stage.

He had always felt this way, and now it was stronger than ever, but he could only face it.

Who said Tian Bufan was the "conductor"?

Tian Bufan said: "Dream boundary studies have always had a relatively high-level topic called 'The interference and operation of dream boundaries in the time dimension'..."

"Your dreams, to a certain extent, will cause ripples in the time dimension, which is equivalent to interfering with the past..."

"Perhaps right here in this place, in this room, there is a future you who is sleeping right now, observing this place through your dream."

"Hiss..." Lin Yi touched his arm subconsciously, "What you said feels like a lightning paradox..."

The person who was killed in The Flash Paradox was the Flash's mother. The person who was killed here, could it be his own mother?

I killed myself?

"Don't think too much, I just mentioned it casually." Tian Bufan said, "If your dream can interfere with Maozi's behavior, then there is a certain chance that Maozi can go to the "Observatory" first..."

"You used the power of the Night Watchman to push the stream of consciousness throughout the entire Art Building. In other words... you have a map of the Art Building in your mind. If you can remember it, you can guide Maozi to the 'Observatory' to see the 'Starry Night' first..."

"Or, you can try to go to 'her' room..."

Lin Yi felt cold sweat on his back, and subconsciously asked with some fear: "I...guide Maozi to that place? Will it kill him?"

"Whether it will work... depends on luck. But Maozi looks like a mean dog. Maybe he can turn danger into safety with his dog spirit?" Tian Bufan said, "I'm putting it here. If it doesn't work, then one of us will have to work hard. While investigating the 40th floor through the "dormitory management" route, we will also have to find a way to go back and forth between the art building and the campus."

“But in that case, we would have no room for error in that one action.”

"Either bring back the notebook or leave it there."

Lin Yi swallowed deeply, feeling as if a heavy burden was falling on him alone.

He sensed a sense of choice, or perhaps he had no chance to make a choice at all.

The question in front of him was not a multiple-choice question, but a true-or-false question.

His answer is only [YES]...or [NO].

"Except for the Art Building, other places are easy to deal with." Tian Bufan said, "After we finish talking, we can discuss the distribution of tasks."

"No problem." Wei Shan agreed readily. His simple and honest eyes seemed to flash with a fiery and crazy light, as if he was full of anticipation for this extremely dangerous behavior.

"After obtaining the notebook, we began to evacuate. According to the plan, Maozi would eventually evacuate from the Art Building no matter what."

"This way, we will leave the campus on the seventh day."

Lin Yi said: "Is this... the entire 'plan'? No, why do I feel... that the latter part is so hasty? Is it too idealistic?"

"'Idealization'?" Tian Bufan's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm. "This is just a framework... There are many variables, and we need to weigh them ourselves."

"I still have a lot of things I don't understand..." Lin Yi raised his own questions, "Maozi is already an art student, how can he leave as an experience student? And then, what should our specific steps be?"

You can't just point and hit wherever you want, right?

Once they disperse, there is no way for them to communicate with each other.

This is Lin Yi’s biggest worry.

"Since you want to know the Russians' retreat route the most, let's start from here," said Tian Bufan.

"It's a very simple matter to simply leave the Art Building, but we need to get Maozi on the blue bus and leave the campus with us."

“So he must have an identity other than an ‘art student’, such as an ‘experience student’.”

"That is to say, he needs to obtain an identity certificate of "experience student", and when he overwrites his own "Mao Feiyang" with this identity, there will be no identity conflict."

Identity conflict, just like Li Huiyuan and the green bib chef. Because Li Huiyuan always exists, the green bib chef can never become her.

As for someone like Song Rentou, it was because the fake Wei Liang killed him and forcibly seized his identity.

"You want the Russians to kill people...?!" Lin Yi was a little angry.

"Sit down." Tian Bufan said coldly, "I haven't finished talking yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

"We have already sent Maozi's identity certificate to the Art Building. We just need to wait for him to get it and leave."

"I've already completed the 'experience student' process on the day I entered school..."

"Wait... why am I getting more and more confused?" Lin Yi's forehead was full of colorful question marks, "Maozi didn't even enter the school, how did he go through the "experience student" procedure?"

The more Lin Yi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He felt like he seemed to have missed something, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't figure it out.

Tian Bufan knocked on Wei Liang's bed and said, "Blessed be the Heavenly Master Wei Liang, how about you tell me about the scheme you set up?"

Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang as if he had seen a ghost, and seemed to be roaring in his heart, No, when the hell did you set up this trap?
He really wanted to grab Wei Liang who was scratching his butt and snoring over there, and then loudly question him: When did you make your FUCKING bureau, bro Liang? !

But Wei Liang, who was snoring, uttered three words as if he was talking in his sleep...

"Bai...Fang...Shuo...Hululu...Hululu..."

"'Bai Fangshuo'?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, but when this name appeared in his mind, he had no other emotions except confusion.

what's the situation?
Bai Fangshuo?
Isn't that the new identity of Class Teacher-039?
Wait... a new identity?!
and many more!

Could it be that...? !

No, that's not right!!
A series of guesses flashed through his mind, but no matter how he tried to deduce, he couldn't close the loop.

Tian Bufan patted his shoulder gently and said with finality: "Don't think about it, just listen to me. After all, Fusheng Wei Liangtianzun's plan..."

"Hey! No! What do you mean by 'I called a whore'?!" Wei Liang suddenly became anxious, and suddenly threw back the quilt, sitting up in shock from his dying illness, "How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"
