Chapter 765: Chapter 352: The Overwritten Art Building Hall (Extra 1000 Words)_2

Old Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "That’s good... I thought you had been a Dormitory Supervisor these past few days... So, being targeted by the Sneering Angel during the day must be because of ’Ashes’."

「’Should be’, ’just’?!」Lin Yi’s eyelids twitched fiercely: "Are there more reasons?"

"These aren’t very important for you right now." Old Mo said, "Let’s go, if we really can’t attract a Sneering Angel with a lantern, we’ll have to spend some time actively hunting one down..."

Lin Yi asked: "The Sneering Angel with a lantern, that’s the Dormitory Supervisor, right?"

Old Mo nodded: "Yes... After the kerosene lamp fails to protect the Dormitory Supervisors, excessive Supernatural Power begins to permeate their status, ultimately causing them to transform into Sneering Angels."

"So the Sneering Angel is also formed from excessive contamination?"

"Don’t just look at the surface, it’s like studying chemistry, the same substance can have completely different reactions under different catalytic conditions."

"The old kerosene lamp...is the catalyst?"

"It’s a metaphor, not all Sneering Angels are born this way, but one of the birthways is after the lamp fails, causing more contamination..."

"The failing old kerosene lamp, does it generate a kind of Supernatural Power different from ’light’, like the dark side of Supernatural Power?"

"I don’t know, interpret it however you want, but anyway, the danger brought by ’using a failing old kerosene lamp’ is more unpredictable than ’having no kerosene lamp at all’."

"Then... why don’t the Dormitory Supervisors just throw it away?"

"I can’t tell you the answer to that, if you have the opportunity, you might find the answer through the ’Dormitory manager’s rules’... but you better not have that opportunity."

"Why?"

"Idiot, obviously because I’m afraid you might accidentally turn into a Sneering Angel."

At this point, Lin Yi’s mouth twitched fiercely, if being kicked by the Boss earlier was a joke, then if he really became a Sneering Angel, he might be crushed by the Boss...

「Goddamn... may that day never come...」

Lin Yi shivered fiercely, but he quickly realized something else: "Hey, Old Mo, did you just say...hunting Sneering Angels? Is it the sort that can be transformed back into Dormitory Supervisors?"

"Yes."

"Then what happens to the Dormitory Supervisors if they are hunted? Do they die?"

Hearing this, Old Mo’s face darkened: "After you hunt something down, can it still be alive?"

"Then the Dormitory Supervisors..."

"When they become Sneering Angels, they already have some control over life and death, and thus become subjects to the same." Old Mo said coldly, "If your friends become Sneering Angels, then they are no longer the people you knew... I see..."

"Huh?"

"You’ve been in the Gymnasium...saw Dormitory Supervisors peeled from Layers, so you think Sneering Angels have a chance to be saved, right?"

Lin Yi nodded: "Yeah..."

"That’s just survivor bias." Old Mo said, "Only those Sneering Angels that appear in the Gymnasium have a certain chance to be transformed back, and even the ’people’ who are peeled off have a low probability of regaining their cognition to become ’people’ again..."

"During my time as a black Pocket Chef, I’ve only encountered a few..."

Lin Yi pursed his lips, knowing that one of them might be Mu Daxian.

Mu Daxian’s secrets are indeed many and complex.

Lin Yi did not inquire further about the Dormitory Supervisor, as the corridor had come to an end.

He tugged at his soaking wet school uniform, and strangely, the fierce wind ultimately did not take away all his body heat, the blue aura inside him like a furnace sustaining his body’s vitality, the soaking clothes apart from bringing some physical discomfort did not affect his movements at all.

「Huh—huh—huh—」

The wind tunnel effect was maximized the moment Lin Yi stepped out of the corridor, the gale almost preventing him from taking a step forward, as if the place ahead was not the Art Building Hall, but a cliff by the sea.

White light enveloped Lin Yi, the wind causing his clothes to flutter loudly, and in that instant, it seemed like some forbidden voices echoed beside his ears.

The strong echo formed by the wind near his ears also brought with it more rapid wind sounds, in such howling and sharp wind, one shouldn’t be able to hear any extra sounds, but Lin Yi started to hear a different kind of sound independent of the wind... the sound of chains!

「Clatter clatter clatter...」

It was the sound of chains being dragged slowly across the ground!

That sound seemed to come from nowhere, like in the wind yet not in the wind, as if it was transmitted to Lin Yi’s ears through some completely independent channel.

From the depths of the chains, a deep, slightly evil, sinister, eerie, chilly echo emerged, the voice had no origin, nor did it have a known direction, as if it directly fell upon his heart.

That voice was saying...

[Lin Yi... you have finally come...]

Just at that moment.

「Boom—」

It was as if something exploded in Lin Yi’s mind, the white light in front of his eyes dimmed at a rapid speed...

The scene of the Art Building Hall began to appear in his sight, a slightly sinking feeling on his shoulder—Old Mo’s palm, resting there.
