Chapter 981: Chapter 456: I, Guardian Lin of the Soul Hall, Accept It_2

"Moreover, any unit under the ’Supreme Judgment’ may be ignited by ashes, but the endurance of Alien Angels is stronger than ordinary life forms."

"As for something like the ’Burial Body,’ you can consider that it has a very high ignition point on its own."

"Is there such a saying?"

"The world is full of wonders, and not all Alien Angels have that kind of ignition point. For something like the ’Graveyard of the Deceased,’ it wouldn’t work, but if it’s the ’Serpent’s Nest,’ it could even surpass the ordinary ’Supreme Judgment.’

"Alright then..." Lin Yi thought there was a lot to learn.

Also, judging from the tone of Convenience Store Owner -003, the status of the ’Serpent’s Nest’ was indeed high. No wonder it enjoyed the fame of ’Orochi’ in myths, and its appearance directly overturned things...

Indeed, it was extraordinarily powerful.

The Convenience Store Owner -003 pointed at the ’Burial Body’: "Don’t be fooled by how well-behaved the ’Burial Body’ is here. If anything happens to me, it will explode like a bomb."

"The tiger you think is harmless is just caged."

"If it escaped the cafeteria, even with just a little remaining body, it would be troublesome... Most Alien Angels aren’t pushovers."

"And the ’Burial Body,’ since its formation, has always longed to go to the Art Building layers..."

"Go to the Art Building?" Lin Yi was somewhat surprised, "Those nocturnal species all want to infiltrate the layers into the campus, why does it go the opposite way?"

"The thinking of an Alien Angel cannot be comprehended with common sense," said the Convenience Store Owner -003. "Perhaps, it longs to embrace a true ’Angel’..."

After handing the bone spur to Lin Yi, the Convenience Store Owner -003 led Lin Yi away from where the ’Burial Body’ resided, walking towards the exit of the convenience store, one in front and one behind.

As they walked, Lin Yi suddenly asked, "Hey boss, why were all the Student Souvenir Coins taken yesterday?"

"I didn’t take them," the Convenience Store Owner -003 immediately replied. "A large group of Art Students lost their Student Souvenir Coins and emptied out the store early in the morning."

"So they took them all... and didn’t leave a single one?" Lin Yi asked, puzzled.

"Strategic materials... it’s understandable they took them all," said the Convenience Store Owner -003. "Besides, a new batch is already stocked up, you just came at a bad time."

"But it’s no big deal. If you have a Student Souvenir Coin, you become an Art Student. If not, a Sports Student. Both paths aren’t bad for your little girlfriend," said the Convenience Store Owner -003.

If Li Huiyuan were here, she would definitely selectively pick out the keyword "your little girlfriend" and then enter a dreamy state...

Lin Yi was somewhat taken aback, looking at the Convenience Store Owner -003, surprised that he even knew this. But he quickly realized, the Convenience Store Owner -003 stayed behind to serve as "surveillance," so it’s normal for him to know!

Ugh... doesn’t that mean he also saw everything, like when I was feeling awkward?

Lin Yi felt a bit embarrassed, but thankfully the Convenience Store Owner -003 didn’t pay much attention and just continued walking ahead: "If there are more questions, ask them while you can, because once you leave this store, I’ll be hard to find."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi’s little brain started spinning fast, wanting to ask all the questions circling in his stomach, but he chose to ask the important ones first: "The ’Sun’ that produces ashes you mentioned, is that the black sun over by the Art Building?"

The Convenience Store Owner -003 was originally unwilling to say more, but since Lin Yi asked, he answered succinctly: "Refer to ’Primordial Ash Apostle,’ it’s just a projection."

"And... what about the ’Sun’ in the campus?"

The Convenience Store Owner -003’s footsteps slightly paused, then a mysterious and eerie smile appeared, making Lin Yi jump: "Good intuition... next question."

"Is this... a confirmation?" Lin Yi felt confused but didn’t pursue that question further and instead asked, "Were you all arranged here by the authorities? Is the entire campus... a super large containment facility?"

A strange glint flashed in the gem-like eyes of the Convenience Store Owner -003. He suddenly stared at Lin Yi silently, as if trying to discern something from his face. Seeing that Lin Yi had no extra expression, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed a bit: "You’re right... the entire campus is a gigantic containment facility."

"More precisely, it’s a shackle."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi felt an inexplicable sense of relief. Just now, the gaze of Convenience Store Owner -003 was too cold, with some sinister undertones, almost like this campus was meant to contain him, and now that he had found out, he would have to be silenced.

The Convenience Store Owner -003 slowly said: "The ’Original Apostles’ locked the ’Root’ in the deepest part of all layers, banished beyond time and space... Then, through layer after layer of blockade, they finally built this school where it connects with reality."

"The entire school is anchored by multiple complex anchoring points..."

"Experience Students anchor the surface of the school..."

"School staff anchor the basic framework of the campus, chefs deliver meals, which isn’t just for delivering meals but to check the street lights along the way and higher-level sculptures, etc... Blue Chefs follow security guards for inspections and marking, Black Chefs track marked locations to eliminate ’abnormal units.’"

"The units in the Physical Education Department are responsible for countering the pressure from the Art Building..."

"Security guards clean up anything affecting the stability of the anchor points..."

"And I... am responsible for cleaning up all the loose ends. Recently, I’ve been having some trouble finding that damned guy."

"’Damned guy’?" Lin Yi was slightly taken aback.

"That’s the ’Principal,’ that damned guy... left without saying a word." As soon as Convenience Store Owner -003 mentioned the ’Principal,’ his anger was visible, but his Aizen-like face still suppressed any excessive displeasure, "If he doesn’t come back soon, the burden of this campus will fall on my shoulders..."

Lin Yi wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that Convenience Store Owner -003 seemed somewhat resistant to taking the place of the Principal...

Wait a minute...

"Convenience Store Owner" sounds like it could be turned into... "Principal"? _{fr\eewe.bn(o)v\el.c(o)m}

At least identity-wise, it seems so?

So if Old Mo became the abridged version of the "Convenience Store Owner," then the "Convenience Store Owner" could go be the "Principal"?

Even if it’s an abridged version of the principal.

If thought of from a conspiracy theory perspective, could the Principal’s disappearance be a plot by Convenience Store Owner -003 to rise in status?

He had the impression that Convenience Store Owner -003 had an unfathomable and mysterious depth, with that subtle smile like a blade coated in syrup...

The Convenience Store Owner -003 didn’t know Lin Yi was thinking in so many circles. He rubbed his temples: "With the Principal gone, the pressure on me is immense..."

Lin Yi licked his lips and asked, "What do you mean by the Principal going out to sea? Did he enter that black sea?"

The Convenience Store Owner -003 nodded: "It’s literal, just a while ago, he set off alone from the Art Building into that sea... much like what the ’Original Apostles’ did back then."

"Has the Principal already reached that level?" Lin Yi was amazed.

"I don’t know," Convenience Store Owner -003 shook his head, "Perhaps not yet, but probably not far... that damned guy might be dodgy, but wouldn’t do something without some assurance. Still, he’s truly tricky, saying he wants to discuss something with me and then sets off without a word."

"...Tricky guy."
