Chapter 1027: Chapter 480: Leading People with Malice (Happy Women’s Day~)

Director-040 asked immediately: "So, how do you feel?"

In Lin Yi’s mind, the images he saw when he fell through the layers appeared. He slowly said, "Your analysis isn’t without reason, but your perspective is wrong... Is it possible that the ’Primordial Ash Apostle’ in some respects has reached the level of breaking the rules?"

"The closer something is to the rules, the more it is constrained by them, but this doesn’t include... those who make the rules."

"That ’Primordial Ash Apostle’... maybe its very existence is a kind of rule, and when rules repel each other, perhaps its ’code’ is even above the campus!"

"The convenience store owner said it’s a sort of projection of the ’Ashen Apostle’ path in the real world, a tangible rule, and based on this point... its existence is actually influenced by Head Yuan’s ceremony..."

"Maybe it couldn’t project down initially, but Head Yuan’s ceremony provided some ’coordinate’ for its birth... After descending, what it needed might not be pure slaughter, but perhaps to maintain its ’existence’ state... ’energy’."

"Then its slaughter..." Director-040 momentarily couldn’t follow.

Lin Yi expressed his thoughts: "Originally, when humans fished, it was for survival, but for the fish, it’s slaughter... Our ’human’ position in the life sequence is too low, and the power of life and death is not in our hands. If it finds pure transcendent power and ashes as delicious food, then is it possible it won’t care about anything else while consuming?"

"That’s why... I was fortunate to see its undying..."

"And those sneering angels... their powers have actually been drained by the ’Primordial Ash Apostle’, becoming similar to dead body sculptures..."

"’Those Who Chase the Light Through the Fog End Up as Phantoms’, might be the saddest irony. They chase through the fog, but the light never cared about what was chasing it, and the chaser ends up as a phantom... Like fools charging for love."

Director-040 smirked: "You’re saying something nice, but don’t bring up your heart-wrenching simp stories...they’re irrelevant."

Lin Yi’s mouth twitched hard: "What what... I’m just speaking from emotion."

"Alright, I understand, I won’t tell anyone..." Director-040 waved dismissively.

"Hey hey hey... I..." Lin Yi was speechless, he was truly speaking from emotion!

"Alright, Classmate Lin, you wouldn’t want others to know you’ve been a simp, right?" Director-040 gave a "charming" smile, causing Lin Yi to shudder involuntarily, "If you don’t, then let’s get back to business."

"That ’Primordial Ash Apostle’ did not enter the classroom. It merely absorbed ashes and transcendent power, and while you weren’t completely drained, you kept falling through layers. Although you survived, you didn’t actually get any useful information, did you?"

"Rubbish, rubbish!" Lin Yi blew his beard and glared, "I have intangible gains, how can you say I gained nothing?"

"Oh right... Speaking of falling through layers, I suddenly remembered, at that time, I seemed to hear a sentence..."

"What sentence?" Director-040 quickly asked.

Lin Yi searched for the simple feeling, his voice also turned into that bass filled with magnetism:

"’I, the Principal, speak to the Grey Mist World’..."

Director-040’s eyes widened, and behind the golden-framed glasses, her beautiful eyes were filled with shock.

For some reason, even though she heard the voice from Lin Yi’s mouth, she truly felt a moment of confusion, as if she saw a figure on Lin Yi, that figure was unclear, surrounded by a vast endless sea, the surging waves higher than mountains, on the sea enveloped by a heavy mist that shrouded the sky, in that world, a person’s body and shadow seemed as small as a drop in the ocean.

"’I, the Principal, speak to the Grey Mist World!’"

That man arrived alone at the edge of the world, and all that responded were the roars and howls produced by the gusty winds carrying the waves.

That figure gradually, then turned into Lin Yi’s appearance: "Teacher...?"

In the office, Lin Yi was somewhat worriedly looking at Director-040, this was the second time in a short period he’d seen Director-040 drift into thought.

"Huff, huff..." Director-040’s chest heaved, the inner battle suit slowly retracted, her frown deepened, although she already believed, but she still needed to verify again, "Are you sure that was the Principal’s voice? Could it be a voice impersonating the identity?"

Lin Yi shrugged helplessly: "You’re asking me, how would I know, I’ve never seen the Principal, how do I know if it’s real or fake, but I feel it couldn’t be fake, right?"

Director-040 mused: "The key question is, how did the Principal’s voice appear from the Ashen Apostle’s layer?"

"What do you think is going on?" As someone who had personally experienced the downfall, Lin Yi actually had some guesses, but he wanted to see if Director-040 could realize it.

He hadn’t realized it himself, but his manner of guiding Director-040 into thinking inadvertently exuded some traits of Tian Bufan, and Director-040 really squinted her eyes in thought, then said something startling: "Could it be that the ’Primordial Ash Apostle’ is actually the Principal?"

Oh my... Lin Yi staggered, a wry smile all over his face: "That guess is too bold, isn’t it?"

Director-040 retorted: "Who asked you to test me, anyway, who’s the teacher here?"
