Chapter 954: Chapter 443: No, does he really know the pathway of the "Ashen Apostle"? (It’s New Year’s Eve!)

The two of them arrived together at Class B-2 and then split up. Li Huiyuan checked the nameplate before entering the classroom, while Lin Yi headed to the Teacher’s Office of "Class B-2", reaching out to knock on the door.

"Knock knock..."

"Who is it?"

"It’s me, Lin Yi, Student ID card number X0230506098."

"Clack!"

The peephole opened, and Class Teacher-040 glanced at him, then opened the door.

Lin Yi glanced at his watch and entered the office.

Once inside, he promptly glanced at the wall clock.

10:20.

Then he got straight to the point: "I’ve discovered something."

"Coincidentally, I have something to discuss with you as well," said Class Teacher-040.

"Let me start," Lin Yi believed his matter was more crucial. "A large number of zealots have gathered on the fifth floor of the Teaching Building. They’ve already mastered the method of collecting ’Ashes’ and seem to be exploring a way to collectively become ’Ashen Apostles.’"

Lin Yi explained how the zealots used some companions to attract the ashes, then burned themselves along with the Sneering Angel to refine into "Blood Bodhi Stone Pillars." _{fre eweb\(n)ovel(.)co(m)}

He continued, "Moreover, I’ve discovered something teacher 039 overlooked, or rather did not notice, which is: she investigated each batch of infiltrators entering the school but missed one batch..."

"You mean... the batch you were with when you entered?!" With Lin Yi’s reminder, Class Teacher-040 reacted swiftly.

Lin Yi nodded, "That’s right, my batch of people. I thought everyone was victims until I just saw most of the survivors on the fifth floor..."

"Among the people in my batch, there are quite a few arranged by the infiltration force to collect ashes, and by coincidence, this entire batch has now become zealots..."

"I don’t consider this an accident; I feel it’s more like a conspiracy, so I must inform you of this immediately."

Upon hearing this, Class Teacher-040 gently pushed the glasses up her nose and smiled, "I acknowledge you as my ally."

Lin Yi couldn’t help but twitch his lips, "Just acknowledging now?"

"What else?"

"I thought it was established when you were honest and open... Alas, it seems I was being self-indulgent." Lin Yi jokingly remarked.

"Are you courting death?" Class Teacher-040 glared at him, "Your little girlfriend isn’t here; do you think I won’t stab you?"

Lin Yi shrugged; Class Teacher-040 had previously taken out the Secret Rune Dagger to put on a show, but now she was just verbally threatening him. So he returned to the topic, "I have a third discovery. In the abandoned classroom of Class B-13, I found the nonexistent person created by Mountain Man."

Upon hearing this, Class Teacher-040’s eyes suddenly brightened.

"Only, when I met it, it had already turned into something similar to an ’Ashen Apostle’. It bore ashes, and unlike zealots, wasn’t burned into ashes, but turned into a moving ’Fireman’..."

"That state is very delicate, quite different from what I previously understood as ’Ashen Apostle’. But if it isn’t an Ashen Apostle, then what is it?"

Class Teacher-040 spoke up then: "It’s a ’bait.’"

"Huh?" This time Lin Yi was dumbfounded, "A bait, what do you mean?"

Class Teacher-040 responded, "After you left, Yuan Lijian soon came to see me."

"Mm... I knew." Lin Yi had seen Mountain Man first thing in the morning, naturally guessing Mountain Man went to the office. "What did he talk to you about?"

Class Teacher-040 said, "He explained some things to me, although I know he held something back."

"The person we met in the morning, the one you think is an ’Ashen Apostle’, was indeed his handiwork."

"He told me that Head Yuan is the only male in the Yuan Family, but was exploited by the infiltration organization as a sacrifice, dying in the campus. His entry this time was to obtain the power of the ’Ashen Apostle’ to seek revenge on that organization."

"Everything he did was to become an ’Ashen Apostle’."

Lin Yi was taken aback upon hearing this.

No, does he actually know the way to become an ’Ashen Apostle’?

If Mountain Man knows the way to become an Ashen Apostle, doesn’t this mean the infiltration organization indeed possesses that method?

No, right?

He didn’t voice his doubts, only listened quietly, not interrupting Class Teacher-040.

"According to Yuan Lijian, the path to become an Ashen Apostle was actually deciphered long ago, but it’s unfeasible, hence listed as ’Taboo’. His knowledge of the path was due to leveraging some connections."

Mountain Man, as one of the first armed forces entering the Black Moon Outpost, survived and participated in some secret experiments, got to know some experimenters, and obtained some "officially denied" information, which might be plausible.

Class Teacher-040 said, "To become an ’Ashen Apostle’, the prerequisite is to make oneself a ’container’. And for this step, there’s no other way; two traits are needed: the first is ’regeneration’, the second is ’adaptation’..."

"’Regeneration’ is a high-level trait carried by the blue power of the sports department. The supernatural traits of the sports department grant the Sports Student traits that allow continuous honing of the physique, along with high cellular activity and repair capability."
