Chapter 1528: Chapter 728: Everything in Place, Ready to Summon

...

The second-generation Principal left the Art Building suspended upside down above the campus, his figure continuously rising higher and higher within the Art Building Layer... Finally, when he exceeded a certain physical limit, the layer’s waves surged around him, and he traversed this wave layer, entering... into the pitch-black night sky above the campus.

"Boss, Boss... where are you...?"

The second-generation Principal felt like he had reached above the campus, but for some unknown reason, even with the "Principal" authority, he could not smoothly enter the campus.

This suddenly filled him with bewilderment and unease, and he suddenly noticed at this moment that his body was undergoing some subtle changes. Perhaps it was due to "Angel" contamination, as his body seemed to have countless tiny particles inside, like shattered rule crystals, combining with each other, making him look like... a human-shaped crystal of shattered glass.

"This...?"

"I...?!"

He hurriedly spread out his perception, as the continuous events surpassing his cognition were gradually twisting his certainty about predetermined knowledge. He urgently needed to find the Boss to inform him of the most critical matters, then... discuss other things later.

But just then, he seemed to hear some ancient and distant call.

It was a human-spoken obscure syllable, very distinctly human, sounding like a beginner attempting to mix Indian rap and Russian singing styles while singing Huaxia opera—absurd, bizarre, yet so full of summoning...

And the nihility power that had been preventing him from entering the campus finally cracked open, with a crevice he hurriedly followed into the campus...

Light, shadow, and a sand-like mist suffused the crack, and within it, the second-generation Principal kept shuttling through until he saw the exit of the crack, where there seemed to be a large number of secret marks, like totems branded upon the ground, summoning his descent.

He descended accordingly.

But as the light and fog dissipated, what appeared before him was the deep part of the Green Forest Belt outside the Teaching Building, full of corpses now.

With a quick glance, he saw dozens of Sports Students, several Art Students, and a small number of Experience Students, all devoid of life now.

Beneath these people, there appeared to be a strange totem—the very totem that had summoned him through the chasm!

"That totem...?" The second-generation Principal found the totem vaguely familiar but couldn’t immediately recall related matters until a figure appeared behind him.

"What a headache... those powers even deceive children..."

The lazily magnetic voice belonged to an old man with a Hawaiian vacation style, wearing a straw hat and appearing before him.

Seeing this old man, the second-generation Principal’s pupils shrank sharply.

It was... one of his own forms!

His mind exploded with information, finally reminding him what all this was about!

"X022, November 24, the 70th Grey Mist Invasion..."

"Class B2 Sports Student ’Head Yuan’, Sports Student ID ’Day-X0221006035’, violated school rules, resulted in 76 deaths, including 33 Sports Students, 16 Art Students, and 27 Experience Students..."

"This is... X022... November... 24?!"

"I... traveled through time?!"

"Wait..."

"This... is actually me?!"

[Destiny is like an ouroboros... stumbling back to the starting point...]

[Let’s go, let’s go...]

[The cycle of time... has long begun...]

[We have long become... a part of the cycle...]

[Time... is not right...]

[Hurry, go back...]

[Go back...!]

"Buzz buzz buzz... buzz buzz buzz..."

Before the second-generation Principal could react, or before "The Convenient Store Owner-02" of "this time" could do anything to "him", the fragmented figure of "Principal" echoed in the depths of his mind.

"Buzz buzz..."

Light and shadow cracked open beside him again, and he fell back into the crevice...

In this crevice, he became dazed, seemingly experiencing many moments, yet also seemingly becoming another life form. Gradually, his body turned into a form of broken glass shards...

In the cracks of light and shadow, he pursued the light while cloaked in mist, sometimes as the second-generation Principal, sometimes... in the state of a "Primordial Ash Apostle"...

Gradually, they became indistinguishable, as if forming one entity with two states...

Gradually, they also seemed to completely separate, becoming two entirely independent forms...

"Boss... Boss..."

The second-generation Principal felt himself getting lost while the "Principal" voice from deep within his mind intermittently whispered and guided, uncertain whether correcting his trajectory or contaminating his path.

He grew increasingly confused and bewildered until suddenly, he sensed Lin Yi’s breath...

So he desperately squeezed his form out of the light and shadow crevices, but saw nothing.

In such constant loss, though, he continuously sensed the fragmented breath of Lin Yi and started attempting to use this breath as an anchor point to return to the campus anew.

No matter how many attempts he made, he couldn’t fulfill the goal until, at a certain moment, he finally broke through the barriers of light and shadow.
