Chapter 540: Chapter 243: The Mountain Man Who Brushed Past

"Let me think..." Lin Yi recalled for a moment, then shook his head, "I... seems like I’ve said everything from my perspective, did I miss something?"

Tian Bufan said, "I have doubts about some details... such as when Mu Daxian blew up the streetlight and then charged the light bulb with energy. By the way, regarding the streetlight clues, did you forget to tell us?"

"Uh..." Lin Yi was taken aback, his face showing a tinge of embarrassment, "Now that you mention it, I think I did forget to talk about it..."

"It doesn’t matter, now that you’ve thought of it, go ahead and tell us, I’m really curious," Tian Bufan said.

Lin Yi then said, "The lights in the campus don’t use electricity, but supernatural power. They absorb supernatural power and then emit light, forming a kind of safe zone similar to a domain."

"This kind of domain has a powerful deterrent effect on units like nocturnal species and pseudo-humans..."

Lin Yi concisely recounted the information he knew related to the light bulbs.

"Just now, I saw something resembling tomato sauce under the cobblestone path, and that tomato sauce was exceedingly rich in supernatural power, having absorbed sunlight and then continuously charged the light bulbs..."

"Then, at 18:00, these streetlights all light up together..."

"But what confuses me is, since these streetlights don’t rely on electricity, then how do they manage to light up in unison at 18:00?"

"How are they controlled, or who is behind the control?"

"If the lights in the sports hall are also this kind of lights, then how do they stay constantly lit? Also, the lights in the Student Passage are always on, why aren’t they affected by the blackout time?"

"In addition, the elevator in the Teaching Building seems to have some relation to the blackout times of the Dormitory building... as soon as the dormitory building goes dark, the Teaching Building’s elevator can be used, which is also quite strange."

"If we can’t understand it..." Tian Bufan thought for a moment and mused, "Perhaps we have too little information."

"Or maybe, our way of approaching the problem is wrong altogether?"

"Electric scooters and motorcycles both appear to be two-wheeled and self-propelled, but their energy conversion methods are completely different."

Lin Yi’s eyes lit up: "Are you saying, I see things too superficially?"

"Not too superficially, but with limited conditions," Tian Bufan negated, "We can’t add things beyond our understanding to our reasoning."

"So what should we do?" Lin Yi asked.

Tian Bufan said, "Try to explore further, or... just ask directly some people who know, although the information obtained through inquiries is filled with subjective assumptions, and its truthfulness is questionable."

Lin Yi had an epiphany: "Information is like silt; it needs to be sifted and sorted out to find the gold."

"That’s the idea." Tian Bufan nodded slightly.

"Who do you think we should ask this question to?"

"The best would of course be to ask the black apron chef, but since we can’t find them and shouldn’t rashly run around in the Cafeteria... So it’s better to settle for second best and ask the class teacher."

Lin Yi nodded secretly, thinking the Cafeteria had become less safe since the Convenience Store owner had encountered problems.

"Will the class teacher tell us?"

"That depends on your ventriloquism skills."

"Ventriloquism, what ventriloquism?!" Wei Liang, as if having caught a keyword, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he became spirited in an instant.

Lin Yi was initially stunned, then his face turned dark: "Get lost, we’re discussing serious matters here!"

"Damn, I’m the best at ventriloquism!" Wei Liang refused to concede, exposing an exaggerated expression like Venom sticking out his tongue.

"Then why don’t you... go ask your new class teacher?" Kuai Hongji said with a sinister sneer.

Wei Liang instantly toned down his expression: "Ah bah ah bah ah bah..."

With one move, he effectively silenced several people.

"Then I’ll... give it a try," Lin Yi said deeply, taking a breath seriously.

"As for the others, just ask according to the situation," Tian Bufan said, "When our range of knowledge has already expanded, it’s better to ask directly about some of the details, after all... today is already the fourth day, and we don’t have much time left to save Maozi."

"Right!" Lin Yi nodded.

During their conversation, the group continued to walk down the cobblestone path, meeting many Experience Students along the way, some of whom really seemed like the War God of early morning classes, as if they could enter and exit the Cafeteria in just three minutes.

So, even though it was now 7:50, they were still charging towards the Cafeteria.

Just then, a hasty figure, with a scent-laden breeze, brushed past them.

That figure was somewhat familiar, Lin Yi thought for a moment, before he reacted!

He turned his head sharply, his gaze falling on that person, and it indeed was Mountain Man!

"How come he’s going to the Cafeteria at this time?" Lin Yi expressed surprise, it was one thing for an ordinary Experience Student to go, but Mountain Man was going too?

Tian Bufan asked in confusion, "You know him?"

"Isn’t that ’Mountain Man’?" Wei Liang was also somewhat surprised, "He looks like he’s packed his bag with pebbles, seems very powerful."

Lin Yi was slightly stunned, his gaze shifting and noticing that Mountain Man’s backpack was indeed bulging, as if filled with many irregular objects.

Lin Yi’s gaze retracted from Mountain Man, facing the others’ puzzled looks, he said solemnly, "I’ve seen him in a dream."

Wei Liang became serious, a sense of foreboding rose in his heart, thinking Old Lin was certainly up to something, to have dreamed about Mountain Man?

What kind of domineering dream was that!

Lin Yi kicked Wei Liang in the rear.
