Chapter 1465: Chapter 697: A Part of the Heroic Spirit Hall

"They... They..."

Wei Shan’s eyes flickered, as if some fragments flashed through his mind at great speed, but soon returned to normal. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"I can’t remember... I don’t know what happened..."

"It’s just that whenever betrayal is mentioned, fragmented information starts appearing in my mind..."

Tian Bufan pondered, "It’s the will carried within the Butcher’s spine... When you were inheriting its supernatural traits, fragments of the will were passed onto you..."

Wei Shan squinted and looked at Lin Yi. Seeing that Lin Yi remained silent, he nodded slightly.

Lin Yi asked, "So does this mean we have indirectly solved the event concerning the invasion of the campus by the ’Primordial Ash Apostle’?"

"From the perspective of the campus, the event has already closed its loop," Tian Bufan said neutrally, "But if we count the Principal going out to sea, we’ll have to wait for him to return for it to be considered a closed loop."

"Closed loop" is the most crucial part of resolving logical paradoxes on an endless timeline and is necessary to prevent their occurrence.

Lin Yi glanced at his watch.

9:56.

"Time flies... How does it feel like we haven’t done anything and it’s almost time for lunch?" he mused aloud.

The cafeteria’s lunch hours are from 10:40 to 13:20. On a normal day, he would already be preparing to go to the cafeteria soon.

Of course, there is no need for them to rigidly stick to the lunch schedule now.

Moreover, whether they eat or not might be subject to other considerations.

But as the thought of the cafeteria flashed in his mind, Lin Yi suddenly remembered, because the "Burial Body" had been eradicated, the structure of the cafeteria seemed to have changed?

Did it? He paused, it seemed like it did, yet it seemed like... it didn’t?

Oh, it seemed like it didn’t!

The structure of the cafeteria remained there, and relative to the cafeteria, the Burial Body was both a confined object and more like... a parasite.

With the eradication of the Burial Body, the biggest effect seemed to be on the Chef in the green apron.

The Chef in the green apron lost the "mother body," and the "Green Skin original type" birthed through the roots of the Burial Body has thus become a rare commodity, and moving forward, only chefs formed from secondary contamination and multiple contamination will exist.

These thoughts flashed rapidly through Lin Yi’s mind, and from a realistic standpoint, he just seemed to be in a daze for a few seconds.

"All right then..." Mao Feiyang said, "We left the classroom roughly at 9:10, then lingered in the stairway for a bit..."

"Oh... that’s true." Lin Yi snapped back to reality, then scanned his surroundings, saying, "Regarding the Principal’s matters, we’ve done all we can, as for the classroom here, do we need to take another look?"

Tian Bufan shook his head, saying, "Including today, we’ve thoroughly investigated three times in total, no need to check again."

"So where should we check next?" Lin Yi thought to himself that since they deployed everyone with great effort, ending hastily would be too wasteful of resources, right?

"Oh by the way, Young Master Tian." Lin Yi suddenly spoke up, thinking that since Tian Bufan checked three times, he might be able to resolve his doubts, "Do you feel that perhaps there are some connections between the buildings in the campus?"

"I mean not just each building individually, but the entirety of the campus buildings."

Tian Bufan, hearing this, asked in return, "Have you discovered something?"

Lin Yi then shared some findings and even some conjectures he had while scrutinizing the Teaching Building.

Tian Bufan nodded slightly, then said, "Soon after entering the school, I had similar conjectures and let Kuai Kuai investigate it whenever possible."

Speaking of which, he glanced over at Kuai Hongji.

Kuai Hongji then chimed in, "Indeed, there’s a connection, and through my investigation, I’ve indeed discovered something."

Lin Yi hurriedly perked up his ears, listening attentively.

Kuai Hongji continued, "The buildings within the campus, each is like a fragment... It looks like fragments from a larger building to me, but you also know, anything extending on the map level is like trying to meticulously piece together several crumpled balls of waste paper, without a design diagram, finishing this would require a substantial amount of time."

"This campus’s design diagram wasn’t the original one drawn by Amon, rather, it underwent numerous modifications, to put it positively, it incorporated inspirations from many later contributors."

"To put it negatively, it’s been altered beyond recognition."

"The only consistent element is that the presentational logic of the design diagram hasn’t changed; this is still a campus, not an amusement park or a zoo..."

Kuai Hongji has been busying himself with various secrets these past days, and now Lin Yi got to know some of these secrets too.

Kuai Hongji further added, "However, over these past few days, I’ve confirmed one thing."

"Which thing?"

"’Corpse Bone Forest.’"

"’Corpse Bone Forest’?" Lin Yi felt a slight stirring inside; the Corpse Bone Forest was concocted by the mysterious entity they referred to as "Taigong." Is there possibly other hidden issues regarding this?

Kuai Hongji said, "Guess what the ’Corpse Bone Forest’ is about?"

Tian Bufan chuckled, "You’ve set up the question like this, I might as well think big... this ’Corpse Bone Forest’ probably isn’t the ’Heroic Spirit Hall’ right?"

"You’re the one!" Kuai Hongji shook his head, "But you’re wrong, although it’s not the ’Heroic Spirit Hall,’ it’s not far from it either..."

"I was puzzled at first, even if ’At First’ wanted to hide the ’Heroic Spirit Hall,’ it wouldn’t be buried too shallowly, and after investigating, I realized that the ’Heroic Spirit Hall’ indeed isn’t here, but portions of its fragments were stolen."
