Chapter 652: Chapter 297: Fight to the Death... Killed in the Process?_2

"Are you actually worried about Lin Yi, or do you just want to rush in there all aboveboard?" Boss couldn’t help but ask.

"Half and half, I guess!" Li Huiyuan blurted out.

Boss held her forehead, obviously not expecting such a straightforward answer from Li Huiyuan, but still spoke seriously: "Let’s wait until 15:00. If he hasn’t come out by then, we’ll go in and rescue him."

"Hooray!" Li Huiyuan exclaimed excitedly.

Boss didn’t share her enthusiasm but said indifferently: "Judging from Lin Yi’s performance during training just now, he shouldn’t be completely powerless against a Pseudo-Human Sports Student..."

"With his weird explosive speed, he should be able to avoid most of Pseudo-Human Li Kai’s attacks."

"And if Pseudo-Human Li Kai increases the frequency of attacks, Lin Yi will suffer from internal injuries due to overexertion, but given his recovery power, he can hold on for quite a long time."

"Even if he happens to sustain some injuries, he could survive with that kind of recovery power..."

"If he can’t hold on, he still has some ’Ashes’. By burning the Sky Blue Aura and ’Primordial Pollution’ with ’Ashes’, he shouldn’t be killed by Pseudo-Human Li Kai..."

"In short, no matter how dangerous the situation is, based on my estimation, he should be able to last until 15:00 and beyond."

"And this feeling of facing death head-on can effectively promote his absorption and consumption of ’Ashes’."

"However, it is quite strange that with his abilities, he hasn’t escaped from there for such a long time."

Li Huiyuan rolled up her sleeves: "What if he’s been beaten half to death? Should we just go in?"

Boss shook her head slightly: "That’s unlikely, but I am a bit worried... he’s not stubbornly fighting Pseudo-Human Li Kai in there, is he?"

"Ah? Fighting to the death?" Li Huiyuan’s mouth gaped open, "He could come at me, but how could he ever beat a Pseudo-Human Sports Student?"

Boss gave her a look: "Ordinary people, yes, would run when they encounter Pseudo-Human experiencees, and he fled directly last time, but this time..."

"Last... last time?" Li Huiyuan was surprised.

But Boss continued: "This time, from the first glance at him, I felt that something had changed about him, I feel he has become different..."

Li Huiyuan’s eyes lit up: "Boss, are you saying... he has grown? Just like how I went through the ordeal last night?"

Boss nodded slightly: "Something like that, but such growth is often accompanied by..."

"Enhanced strength?" Li Huiyuan said instinctively.

Boss gave her a sidelong look: "It’s often accompanied by abnormal thinking..."

Li Huiyuan instantly pouted, like a wilted sunflower.

"Boss saying this, it really hurts my feelings..."

"You’ll get used to it. It’ll recover slowly." Boss gently patted her shoulder and suddenly seemed to sense something, a flash of unusual brilliance in her eyes as she looked towards the changing room’s corridor.

"He’s finally come out."

Hearing that, Li Huiyuan also quickly looked over.

Only to see Lin Yi, who had changed into his school uniform and was carrying a backpack, walking out of the corridor with some unnatural steps.

"Lin Yi!" Li Huiyuan said excitedly.

Boss, however, noticed something was off. Why did Lin Yi walk out so effortlessly? What about Pseudo-Human Li Kai? Didn’t he chase after Lin Yi?

A bizarre and ludicrous thought began to slowly emerge in her mind.

However, just as Lin Yi turned the corner of the corridor, he saw Boss, Li Huiyuan, and a strange Sports Student waiting there, then understood that all this was a trial arranged by Boss and thus he laughed heartily, reporting his success first: "Boss, mission accomplished!"

Boss: "???"

Although Boss’s face still wore a cool expression, she couldn’t help raising an eyebrow internally, thinking it seems I didn’t guess wrong, did this guy overlook the simplest "difficulties" and carelessly pick Hell Difficulty?

And judging by the looks of it, did he really manage to take down Pseudo-Human Li Kai?

"You were supposed to be fighting it hard, but you ended up knocking it dead?"

"Finally finished cleaning up?" Boss’s thin lips parted slightly, her bland remark hiding a flicker of emotion.

Seeing this, Lin Yi thought something was wrong. Seeing Boss with a stern cold face, with that haughty older sister attitude looking down at a younger brother, he knew the test he submitted must have not met the standards, so he quickly said feeling ashamed: "That... it’s my first time doing this kind of thing, I don’t have much experience, took a bit too long... I’ll be faster next time..."

Boss interrupted his words: "Enough, no need to explain. Come swim with me and Huihuizi. I’ll ask you about the details on the way."

"Uh... okay." Lin Yi quickly agreed.

Boss turned to look at the person beside her: "Go to the other side and tell Little Xuzi and Little Yi Zi to stand down, then let’s clean up the loose ends together."

"Alright, Boss." The Sports Student responded and entered the passage.

Lin Yi was about to say that he should have it under control, but considering that Sports Students go through professional training, there might be some techniques he was unaware of, so he just closed his mouth silently.

"By the way... Little Zhouzi is training someone named ’Wei Liang’. Tell both of them to head to the Swimming Hall too."

"Okay."

After the Boss said that, he cooly turned around and walked down the stairs towards the first floor.

Li Huiyuan suddenly quick-stepped beside Lin Yi, leaned in to sniff, and then said with a giggle, "Looks like you’ve had a hearty shower, huh!"

"Huh?" Lin Yi was taken aback.

"Never mind, off to swim." But Li Huiyuan didn’t say much more, she put her hands behind her back and skipped down the stairs lightly.

Lin Yi: "???"

What hearty shower?

Is that even a description?

He scratched his head and then shook it, deciding not to dwell on such matters.

At that moment, he noticed that many figures had appeared on the playground below, some dressed in the same school uniform as him, while others wore their own clothes.

He immediately realized that the PE class had started.

He thought about the problematic Mountain Man and Song Rentou, wondering if he should report their situation to the Boss...

"To be on the safe side, better report the situation to the Boss." Lin Yi made up his mind.

Once is chance, twice is familiar. He was cautious last time because he didn’t understand the Boss well, but not this time.

Can’t just take the kicks for nothing!

Moreover, the Boss was the true leader among the Sports Students, so it should be fine to talk to her about these things.

With this in mind, Lin Yi quickly chased after the Boss and Li Huiyuan down the stairs.

...

May 9, 2023, 14:53, Locker room, Shower area.

Xu Shunkang, Yi Hang, and that Sports Student stood bewildered on the non-slip rubber floor of the shower area, exchanging glances.

"How can this be?"

"I don’t know either..."

"Tian Hengyu, what did the Boss say?"

"The Boss only told us to deal with the aftermath! From the Boss’s tone, Lin Yi should have taken care of Pseudo-Human Li Kai already, we just need to find whatever remains of it and clean it up!"

"Isn’t that how we’ve always done it? How come it’s different this time?"

"Where did Pseudo-Human Li Kai go? Could it have escaped?"

"Are you crazy? Where could it escape to?"

"But... where is it?"

"Let’s search again... otherwise, it’s not good to report back."

A moment later.

"You guys come look!" Tian Hengyu uncovered a waterproof curtain and pointed at the plaster-like substance hanging on the showerhead, exclaiming.

This plaster-like substance was the only part of Pseudo-Human Li Kai’s body that had been lucky enough to be preserved from self-destruction due to being cut off by Lin Yi.

After saying that, Tian Hengyu reached to remove the showerhead.

"Be careful of contamination," Yi Hang cautioned.

"Okay." Tian Hengyu nodded solemnly and carefully removed the showerhead, then reached somewhere unknown and pulled out a baton, pressing that piece of substance to the ground.

With a little exertion, Tian Hengyu crushed the thing into powder.

Then, they all looked at the powder in silence.

"This isn’t right..." Xu Shunkang pondered, "The Origin isn’t hiding here."
