Chapter 535 Could it be the principal?

Chapter 535... Could it be the "Principal"?

"Wait! There's also... moisture in the dormitory corridor!!"

Tian Bufan did not comment: "You have also observed the performance of the gymnasium at the map level. The gymnasium itself is a "wall" standing in the black sea to block the invasion of gray fog..."

“Part of…”

"Cracks appeared in the 'city wall', and the occasional rain, wind, and mist that seeped in created a strange phenomenon in the gymnasium."

"When I observed the old kerosene lamps inside the gymnasium that day, I was actually looking for the existence of a 'crack'. It's a pity that I didn't find it in time, otherwise I would have guided you to repair the crack in advance."

"It wasn't until yesterday afternoon, when she was holding the 'Feast' in the gymnasium, that I had the opportunity to guide you to find the 'crack' and try to repair it."

"The good news is that you lived up to expectations and successfully repaired the crack."

"The bad news is that you've caught her attention. I guess we'll have to have a whole new training session in tomorrow's PE class..."

"But no matter what, you have to refuse her request to recruit you as a sports student."

"Hiss... Did you foresee something?" Lin Yi asked in surprise.

"I just thought of giving you a shot of prevention in advance." Tian Bufan said, "Li Huiyuan may not be able to persuade you, but she may not be able to do that."

"..." Lin Yi, "Okay."

"As for the fog and moisture in the dormitory building corridor..." Tian Bufan narrowed his eyes, "You have a lot of ideas, Lao Lin, really."

"Hmm? Ah?" A question mark popped up over Lin Yi's head again, "No, why don't you just tell me directly, don't beat around the bush, Mr. Tian!"

"Nothing... I was just complimenting you." Tian Bufan said, "Of course, there is a problem with the floor covering in the dormitory building."

"Unfortunately, what I know is not accurate either."

"Why don't you tell me about this inaccurate information first?" Lin Yi asked.

"You can't tell me." Tian Bufan said, "If you tell me, it will affect your original exploration."

"It won't be too late to verify it tomorrow when Kuai Kuai goes through the 'dormitory manager' route."

Tian Bufan kept silent, so Lin Yi had to change the subject immediately: "Well... there is also a sculpture of a world tree in the lobby of the Art Building..."

"There are only a few minutes left, Lao Lin. I don't have time to review your 'Adventure in the Art Building' with you today." Tian Bufan's tone suddenly became a little cold.

"Think carefully, what do you want to ask the most right now...? What do you want to say the most?"

"Uh...ah?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned, then glanced at the time on the pendulum clock. There were still more than twenty minutes left. Why did Mr. Tian react so strongly?
Don’t you want to talk about the World Tree sculpture in “Dying to Live”?

strangeness……

Then the only one left is... the Mage?
"Hey... do you want to talk to me about the 'Master of the Mage'? Um... about the 'First Apostle'?" Lin Yi asked.

Tian Bufan frowned and was about to speak when Kuai Hongji suddenly said sinisterly, "Why do you always think about the Art Building, Old Lin? Don't you have anything else to talk about besides the Art Building?"

"The library, Lao Lin, and..."

"Let him speak for himself." Tian Bufan interrupted.

Kuai Hongji immediately closed his mouth, chuckled, and stopped talking.

"The library... and... the original Ash Apostle?!" Lin Yi calculated in his mind. The scene in the library happened before 6 o'clock, which means that Master Tian actually knew everything.

But if I had to say what I want to say the most, it should be what happened today, right?

"There are still twenty-three minutes left... Let me first tell you about my discoveries during the day." After Lin Yi spoke tentatively, he found that Tian Bufan did not speak, so he simply spent two minutes, speaking at the speed of a machine gun, briefly describing how he went to the cafeteria to find the store owner, discovered the secret of the "burial body" on the cafeteria's underground first floor, and used the "puppet" to detonate the ashes in the afternoon and encountered the "original Ash Apostle".

"The 'burial body' is kept in the cafeteria and seems to be being studied by the authorities... Well, this is not something we should discuss for the time being."

"Let's talk about the 'Original Ash Apostle' first!" Lin Yi said, "I seem to have heard its 'words'..."

"Just now, before returning to the dormitory building, I heard it say something like 'the notebook is the key', 'the only clue', 'compass', 'lost', etc...."

"This information seems to be consistent with the purpose of the authorities sending us here!"

"Mr. Tian, ​​you said, 'Original Ash Apostle'...could it be the 'Principal'?"

"I'm not saying that the 'Principal' is dead. What I mean is that something happened after the principal went out to sea, and then his will penetrated the layer, and passed some message to the campus through the 'Original Ash Apostle', just like the time-exiled magician influencing the dreamer through dream building. Could it be that the principal also wants to influence something?"

"At least... he's delivering some kind of message?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Bufan pondered and said, "If this is true, then the principal is probably in danger..."

"And in this case, the key to the problem is not the notebook..."

"Let's not discuss this issue for now."

"Ah? Not discussing? No... why not discussing it?" Lin Yi asked in surprise.

Tian Bufan said: "When I fall asleep, I will observe your experience through dreams... After you wake up, we can discuss the relevant content."

"If everything goes well, I can also discover some new clues through dreams, and maybe even find the place where the principal's notebook might be."

"Okay, let's discuss it tomorrow." Lin Yi said, weighed the pros and cons again, and then asked, "Then what should I discuss next? The Mage or the Burial Body? Oh, by the way, the Mage carved a secret pattern for me that can summon a saw!"

"This thing is useful, but every time I use it I feel like I'm out of control, and that feeling is getting stronger and stronger..."

Tian Bufan said slowly: "A small horse pulling a big cart... is getting more and more unbridled, that's how it is."

Lin Yi: “…Ah?”

Tian Bufan continued, "The Dragon Slaying Sword is in your hand. If you swing it and hurt yourself, it's better to think about whether you have tried your best."

"Okay..." Lin Yi suddenly felt a little sad.

He had always believed that the more he used the Master's secret patterns, the more he felt he could not control them. This was because the Master was infiltrating his will. He had never expected the truth to be so crude... It was because of his own Tai Chi Prajna.

"Ugh……"

"Wait... Why does it sound like Mr. Tian is not worried at all that Master Di will harm me?"

"Mr. Tian, ​​do you know... any information about the 'Master of the Di Mage'?" Lin Yi said, "The Night Watchman told me that the Master of the Di Mage was exiled by the 'First Apostle'..." For some reason, he always felt that Tian Bufan should know something.

Tian Bufan said: "We know about the 'first apostles' basically through the records in the code... If you ask me, I don't know either."

"Although it is not appropriate to personally understand such a dangerous person, and the code generally does not record mistakes, but... if you want to truly understand 'her', perhaps you will get the answer after you go to 'her' bedroom."

Mr. Tian, ​​there is something else behind your words...

However, he would indeed go to the Mage's bedroom tomorrow night by penetrating the layers of his will. Perhaps by then, he would really discover something...

But what does this have to do with the purpose of his trip?
It seems like there is no connection at all...?
But if it didn't matter, why did Master Tian encourage him to do so?

Is there any special meaning?
"The original apostle"... this thing is extremely far away from him, why does Mr. Tian want him to get to know one of them?

Could it be that he really has some relationship with the Master of Magic?
But speaking of it, during one of the visions, he seemed to see the magician in the vision "looked" at him.

That absurd and mysterious feeling, coupled with what Mr. Tian said now, made him subconsciously more interested in the magician...

This kind of "interest" is an extremely dangerous thing, but... for some reason, he always feels that it should be so.

I should have been so attracted...

strangeness……

It's getting weirder and weirder...

Lin Yi glanced at the pendulum clock.

23: 47.

Less than a quarter of an hour left.

He quickly gathered his thoughts and continued, "In addition to the Master of Magic, I also had several visions. I saw a very thin figure. The figure looked very malnourished, but he was holding a hammer and hammering something..."

"'Divine Craftsman'." Tian Bufan said, "One of the 'First Apostles' who has a noble name, also known as the 'God of Casting on Earth'."

"The Western Bible only mentions that God ordered Noah to build the ark, but the law code records that the boat was made by the hand of the "God Craftsman"..."

"The first 'great ship' of the Grey Fog Age of Exploration."

"It is also the artifact used by Dayu to control floods in Chinese mythology...'Dayu's Boat'."

“They are all hand-made by the master craftsman.”

"Based on your inspiration, you probably sensed the aura of his remaining extraordinary power from some antiques in the Art Building, which led to the corresponding vision..."

"There's nothing to say."

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "That was indeed the case at the beginning, but later, I often heard some "ding ding ding" sounds of iron forging in my ears... Even if there were no special extraordinary creations, such inspiration fluctuations would still occur..."

"No, you must have sensed it, but you just didn't notice it." Tian Bufan shook his head, "A corner of a broken artifact left on the campus, or some aura that permeated along the layer wave diagram, may have caused you to have hallucinations."

"As your adaptability improves and your inspiration explodes, you become like a super signal tower, not only able to radiate signals, but also able to receive information from more bands... In many cases, you can't just choose not to receive it if you want to."

"It's just like the message that the principal sent through the 'Original Ashbringer'. It's almost the same. It's not that you want to receive it, but the other party is also sending it widely. It just happens that you are in that frequency band and receive it."

"Speaking of Guangfa, I have to mention those lingering broken sculptures!" After finishing the previous topic, Lin Yi quickly moved on to the next one, "The first time those broken sculptures appeared was when I went to the bookshelf area to look for books, but later on, no matter where I went, they could make some sounds in my ears."

"It's even more outrageous lately... They've even started singing."

As he spoke, he told the story of the broken sculpture.

"Mr. Tian, ​​do you know what these things are?"

Tian Bufan shook his head slightly: "Isn't this similar to what I just said?"

"Are you saying that I accidentally entered their frequency band?" Lin Yi asked.

"It should be." Tian Bufan said affirmatively.

Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder, "But that broken sculpture... doesn't look like a very powerful existence?"

Lin Yi heard Tian Bufan sigh.

"Old Lin..."

"Uh... ah?"

"Since when did you start judging people by appearance? You haven't been attacked by the broken sculptures yet, so how dare you assert that they are weak?"

"Your thinking is very dangerous. I must correct it for you now."

"In this campus, the truly dangerous ones are not the numerical monsters like the Wrathful Angel, but the mechanical monsters that seem to pose no threat to you but are still haunting you... Those filthy things that you can't get rid of will strike you down anytime, and you'll be hard to guard against."

"Think about it from another angle..."

Tian Bufan paused.

"You can even get rid of the Laughing Angel, but you can't get rid of those broken sculptures... Do you still think they are weak?"

"They must have some powerful mechanism... My idea is that since they haven't shown any ill will towards you and are just calling you, you should just pretend you don't know of their existence... Try not to provoke them."

Lin Yi was shocked by Tian Bufan's words. How come those broken sculptures became the most feared things in the end?

Is it because there are too many?
"Oh, right!" Lin Yi said, "I once had a vision in the library. I saw a black and white chess board. Each chess piece on the board was as big as a huge stone pillar. On the top of those stone pillars, there were sculptures of demons and angels in different shapes..."

"On the chessboard part from the top down, there are many small devil sculptures and angel sculptures. Those sculptures... look like the broken sculptures. Do you think there is any connection between them?"

"I heard that the Chengyu Tie projects the contents of the mother book onto the child book. Do you think these broken sculptures are projections of the black and white chessboard?"

"The mother book is placed in the library, and the child books are projected onto the campus, and then I captured their information?"

Tian Bufan heard this and said slowly: "It's good that you have such a guess. There is no need for me to analyze anything more with you... Maybe the truth is really what you guessed?"
