Chapter 1421: Chapter 675: Library - 39F
"Hey hey hey hey hey... Come on, Kuai Kuai, what are you talking about?" Lin Yi said awkwardly.
"I’m just reminding you to take a closer look, nothing else," Kuai Hongji said without changing his expression. "It’s you who’s being evil."
"Alright, alright... let’s just go." Lin Yi shrank his neck, "I’ve looked and touched... uh, I mean the World Tree and this platform, cough cough, so let’s get going."
The Boss appearing here must have her own reasons, even if he really wanted to know, he couldn’t meet her with Mao Feiyang, no, Bai Fangshuo’s identity.
Thus, "Dormitory Supervisor-14-X0230506094" slowly led "Bai Fangshuo" towards the hall of the Art Building.
Just as they walked out the front door of the Art Building.
Within the World Tree domain, the Boss’s eyes subtly moved as she slowly looked at their backs...
...
May 12, X023, 4:16, Art Building, at the arched stone gate.
Just outside the Art Building’s door, the harsh environment intended to hit Kuai Hongji and Mao Feiyang hard.
The sky was filled with violent winds, thick gray fog, and pouring rain, hanging like curtains under the night.
Kuai Hongji carried an old kerosene lamp, and Mao Feiyang grabbed a chain extending from his waist, passing through the arched stone gate and stepping onto the stone bridge.
The two walked one behind the other, like wanderers on the Silk Road leading their camel through the sandstorm.
As soon as they stepped onto the stone bridge, Lin Yi immediately perceived the existence of the "High-level Alien Angel," residing in the shallows of the black sea, emerging whenever it sensed transcendent breath to hunt and devour passersby, or absorb them.
Kuai Hongji wasn’t attacked—apparently wielding the old kerosene lamp avoided its attack, just like when Old Mo led him holding the lamp.
Until they reached the other end of the stone bridge, passed by the "clang clang clang" sounding rusty iron piece, and walked into the elevator shaft’s passage, Lin Yi finally spoke, "It didn’t attack us?"
"Because ’Dormitory Supervisor’ and common polluters aren’t worth its attack," Kuai Hongji said.
Lin Yi was taken aback. "Even ants have their advantages?"
Kuai Hongji thought and said, "Or perhaps it’s more like... ’novice protection’."
Lin Yi’s face involuntarily twitched with a smile, "Perhaps..."
He wouldn’t have considered ’Dormitory Supervisor’ as a novice tier in the past, but now, he felt even second-order Sports Students might not qualify as ’novice’.
Even if not Security Guards, they at least need to be Homeroom teachers, Black Apron Pocket Chefs, or Physical Education Teachers to count, right?
Kuai Hongji quickly led Mao Feiyang into the elevator shaft, casually pressed a button to summon the elevator.
After a short wait, the elevator labeled "Moon-II" arrived first, with the noise of elevator arrival sounding behind the door, followed by the noise "clang—click!" as the elevator door opened.
The two slid smoothly into the elevator cabin.
Once the elevator door closed, Mao Feiyang exhaled a long breath, his tense body finally relaxing a bit.
"Phew..."
This exhalation of murky air signified the absolute closure of his "experience life" in the Art Building at this moment.
"Finally safe..."
Lin Yi quietly heaved a sigh of relief as well, the evening’s plan, although a bit thrilling, fortunately, everything proceeded as planned, truly the "optimal choice" after countless extrapolations, indeed, thrilling yet safe.
Kuai Hongji took out the "Dormitory Supervisor" Identity Credential, lightly swiped it into the red glass cover.
"What’s this for?" Lin Yi asked.
Kuai Hongji replied, "Swipe the card, so the elevator will precisely stop at the 14th floor now."
Mao Feiyang laughed, "Old habits die hard, the elevator can now sense your ’Dormitory Supervisor’ ID, no need to swipe."
"You know everything." Kuai Hongji sneered ominously, with safety briefly restored, he seemed to transform from an absolutely reliable teammate into a sinister teammate.
The elevator slowly descended in response.
The three rarely gave into contemplation, with none speaking.
Suddenly, Kuai Hongji spoke, "We should already be out of Art Building’s scope, anything you wish to say, you can say now."
Lin Yi’s heart stirred, just as he was about to speak, Mao Feiyang said, "I’m thinking if the elevator stops at the library, should I go down... first make a trip to the Bell Tower."
He gently rubbed the bronze key, it’s still the key to the Bell Tower in the library too.
"This wasn’t part of our plan." Kuai Hongji shook his head, "At least, we’ll only go over after completing the mission..."
"What would we do there?" Lin Yi asked, "Is there another mission?"
"At that time, there will be no tasks anymore." Kuai Hongji said, directly avoiding this topic, and looked at Mao Feiyang, "Besides, we don’t have enough time for you to go."
Mao Feiyang pursed his lips, "I can delay until tomorrow before leaving the library."
Kuai Hongji heard and didn’t rush to reprimand Mao Feiyang for acting on impulse, trying to deviate from the plan, instead asked, "What prompted you to make this decision? Did you sense something?"
Mao Feiyang answered, "The Law already emerged from Time Exile, something we’ve never foreseen in our thousands of extrapolations, perhaps this time there’s an entirely new variable... I don’t have any ominous premonitions, but, perhaps I should reserve a backup plan, first arrive at the Bell Tower."
"That’s too risky, let’s stick to the plan." Kuai Hongji shook his head.
