Chapter 252: "Angels Walk Towards the Light, Never Straying"

"If the pollution suffered by Maozi can be transferred to me, and his artistic journey can influence me... then, shouldn't the 'mark' he accidentally triggered by slipping and falling also be 'marked' on me?!"

Lin Yi instantly recalled the scene of being besieged by the Heretic Choir on the night of May 8th, and all sorts of increasingly bizarre encounters...

If this is not just the influence of the Gray Mist intrusion on him, but also the influence of the "mark" passed on from Maozi, wouldn't it become much more reasonable?

But the problem is—

"Leaving aside this conjecture, how am I going to explain the concept of 'pollution diversion' to homeroom teacher -040? This is too outrageous, right?"

"Or... should I say I accidentally touched that kind of mark? But how would I know so much information?"

"This..."

Lin Yi seemed to have trapped himself in a dead end that he "cannot and cannot prove." He didn't even know what the cognitive domain of the homeroom teacher's identity was like, and whether there were things he couldn't tell them...

"Difficult to say?" Homeroom teacher -040 asked.

"Uh... a little hard to say."

"You have concerns?"

"A little..."

"What concerns?"

"I... I'm afraid you won't believe me."

"What's there to worry about?" Homeroom teacher -040 chuckled and folded her arms. "As long as you say it, I will naturally make a judgment."

"I am... your 'homeroom teacher'!"

She reached out and flicked her name tag, and the crisp "ding ding" sound immediately reminded people of Li Xunhuan playing with his flying knife.

She paused, looking at Lin Yi with interest: "Or you can just say what happened, and I won't ask you why this is happening. What do you think?"

Lin Yi looked at homeroom teacher -040 in surprise, thinking that there was such a perfect solution?

So he said: "It's like this... last night, I was surrounded by a group of pseudo-humans who could chant. I define them as the 'Heretic Choir'..."

"'Heretic Choir'..." Homeroom teacher -040 raised her eyebrows slightly, as if searching for something in her memory, and then the raised eyebrows slowly furrowed, and golden light flowed in her eyes. "This name is much more appropriate than the one the company gave. I'll report it later, and maybe we can modify it according to your suggestion."

"Anything else?" She looked at Lin Yi.

"Huh? Aren't you going to talk to me about it... at least, tell me a little bit?" Lin Yi said in surprise, thinking, why are you all so capitalist? Resources only come in and don't go out. Can you give me some feedback?

Homeroom teacher -040 then said: "What you encountered should be a 'pseudo-human symbiote' code-named 'Tomb of the Dead'."

"What is a 'pseudo-human symbiote'?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

Homeroom teacher -040 observed Lin Yi's reaction. Seeing that Lin Yi was still clear-headed when he came into contact with this new concept and did not show any abnormal discomfort, she continued: "You can understand them as an entity formed by a combination of many pseudo-humans."

"It's a true entity. What you encountered was not 'a group' of pseudo-humans, but 'one' pseudo-human. Don't look at their large number, but in terms of units of measurement, it's just one."

"That thing is a kind of 'abnormal sculpture'."

"Aren't 'abnormal sculptures' only found in the art building?" Lin Yi asked in confusion.

Homeroom teacher -040 said with a smile that was not a smile: "You've been signing in on time for the past three days. How would you know about concepts that only art students know?"

Lin Yi's expression changed slightly. He knew too much, and homeroom teacher -040 casually used a "trivial matter" to trick him.

Lin Yi's mind raced: "Teacher, you said just now that you wouldn't ask 'why'."

Homeroom teacher -040 closed the blue folder, and wearing high heels, she slowly walked from behind her desk to Lin Yi again.

She reached out and gently lifted Lin Yi's chin, causing the two to look at each other.

"You do know how to think quickly."

Homeroom teacher -040 stared into Lin Yi's eyes, as if trying to see something in his eyes.

Lin Yi felt a little overwhelmed, but the best way to deal with being overwhelmed was to pretend to be very calm, so he mustered up the courage to meet homeroom teacher -040's gaze and looked into her eyes.

At this moment, he seemed to feel that the surrounding time had slowed down a lot, and he saw a cluster of bright golden flames in the depths of homeroom teacher -040's eyes!

He seemed to be attracted by that cluster of bright golden flames, and subconsciously moved closer.

This frightened homeroom teacher -040, who released the hand that was pinching his chin and took a small step back at the same time.

"I won't ask, continue," said homeroom teacher -040.

Lin Yi didn't push his luck and got back to the main topic: "After I was surrounded, I heard them saying some strange words that I couldn't understand. I don't know what it was, but I had an indescribable strange feeling in my heart, as if my soul was about to be hooked away... It was the security guard who happened to appear that saved me."

"Oh..." Hearing that the security guard appeared, homeroom teacher -040 nodded slightly, "It was the security guard, that's right..."

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "However, the kind of words they said seemed to have some similarities in pronunciation to the sentence you said when you pulled me in just now, teacher."

Homeroom teacher -040 said: "What I said just now was a kind of 'precept'... Do you know 'precepts'?"

Lin Yi quickly shook his head, trying to act as realistic as possible: "I don't know this."

"That's a pity... In that case, I can't say this," homeroom teacher -040 said tentatively.

She was very young, and she was already like a big sister next door. Saying these slightly playful words carried an aura of a seductive older sister, causing Lin Yi to look away.

"Why don't you just say it, I... will also have my own judgment."

"You know how to learn and apply on the spot," homeroom teacher -040 said with a smile, "But I really can't tell you this, unless... you don't plan to leave."

Lin Yi's eyes narrowed.

Mu Daxian had also told Maozi that if he knew the "precept," he would not be able to leave the art building; and now what the homeroom teacher said undoubtedly proved this point.

People who know the "precept" cannot leave S City University?

What does this mean?

Could it be that the "precept" can not only deal with Nightwalkers, but also has a... "side effect" of trapping the person who uses the "precept"?

"Then forget it..." Lin Yi shook his head, "But can I know what that sentence means?"

Mu Daxian had told Maozi the translation of that precept, so this point should be knowable.

The homeroom teacher thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "'Engler Gr mOt lySet og gr ikkE p Avveie', this sentence means, 'Angels walk towards the light, never straying'."

"Angels walk towards the light... never straying?" Lin Yi murmured this sentence.

He remembered that Mu Daxian had said two "precepts" in total.

One sentence was "De som jager lyset i tke blir til slutt fantomer", which means "Those who chase the light in the fog will eventually become phantoms";

The other sentence is "Engler Gr mOt lySet og gr ikkE p Avveie," which means "Angels walk towards the light and do not stray."

Both "admonitions" seemed to be related to "light," which made Lin Yi think of the sun...

"Is the sun itself carrying extraordinary power, or... is the sun in the school area carrying extraordinary power?"

The sun observed at S City University... seems to be different from the one outside... Lin Yi guessed.

The pseudo-art teacher's words appeared in his memory again, attacking Lin Yi fiercely.

"The sun has long been extinguished, how long can its afterglow illuminate them? The gray mist has arrived, you shall all die."

Seeing Lin Yi deep in thought, homeroom teacher -040 didn't interrupt him, just watched him silently, but in the depths of her eyes, the faint golden light was condensed and unwavering.

"Sigh..." Finally, Lin Yi sighed helplessly.

When it comes to things involving such a large background, unless he directly asks homeroom teacher -040, it's impossible to get results just by guessing.

"What is the meaning of the 'light' in 'walk towards the light'?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

Homeroom teacher -040 was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Lin Yi to ask such a question: "Light, is... light."

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, did homeroom teacher -040 not know?

Impossible...

Then she just doesn't want to say it?

It seems he can only give up thinking about this, or... ask老大 (Lǎodà, meaning 'boss' or 'leader')?

When this thought popped into Lin Yi's mind, he himself was stunned.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Why would he think老大 would tell him the answer?

"Then... the 'angel' in 'angels walk towards the light'? Does it refer to angel sculptures, or... is it just 'angels'?" Lin Yi asked.

"..." Homeroom teacher -040 looked at Lin Yi, her mouth slightly open, her tongue moving against her lips, looking at Lin Yi with a strange expression, as if to say, you kid has so many questions, serves you right for being targeted!

"You... even know about 'angels'?"

Lin Yi pursed his lips and didn't speak.

"Then... how much do you know about 'angels'?"

"Actually... I'm not very clear, I just know..." Lin Yi gestured, "... a little bit."

Homeroom teacher -040: "..."

"Uh... teacher, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" Lin Yi was confused by homeroom teacher -040's silence. Can't we have a good conversation?

Homeroom teacher -040 seemed to have thought of many things, she said speechlessly: "This thing... only has the difference between 0 and non-0, either you don't know at all, once you know, you can't get away!"

"In that case, since I can't get away anyway, why don't you reveal some information to me, teacher?" Lin Yi tried to make his tone sound relaxed, like he was saying, 'Give me V50 (slang for showing off wealth) to see your strength'.

Homeroom teacher -040 rolled her eyes: "Do you know that your current state is actually very dangerous."

"You have already shown 'curiosity' about the school area, and curiosity killed the cat."

"I'll give you a piece of advice - don't continue to call upon the angels, they are always responsive... once summoned, they will definitely come and find you."

"Ah?" Lin Yi said in surprise, "Call upon the angels? What call upon the angels?"

"If you haven't called upon the angels, how can you have a 'mark' on you?" Homeroom teacher -040 asked in confusion.

"Mark...?" Lin Yi was stunned, suddenly his spirit shook, could it be that the aura the Russian encountered really affected me?!

Seeing that Lin Yi seemed to have realized something, homeroom teacher -040 continued: "You have a mark from 'angels' on you, I don't know how you were marked, and I don't want to know the process of you being marked."

"I'll just tell you what to do." She said calmly, just like when she was explaining things to Li Huiyuan a day ago.

Lin Yi already understood that this was related to the Russian, the source wasn't himself, but he still listened carefully to homeroom teacher -040's words.

"Teacher, please tell me."

"After you have lunch today, don't go back to the classroom, go directly to the gymnasium."

"The gymnasium is open 24 hours a day, and can provide some protection for experience students. I need you to go to the gymnasium when the sun is at its strongest, and remember, don't go with the sports students."

"After arriving at the gymnasium, immediately explain the situation to the sports students, they have a way to eliminate your mark."

"You can also take your physical education class at the gymnasium, and then come back."

"Remember! Don't go to the gymnasium with the sports students!" Homeroom teacher -040 repeatedly instructed.

Lin Yi's expression also became serious, he nodded and said seriously: "Okay, I understand..."

He wasn't sure if his mark could be eliminated, but the method homeroom teacher -040 gave him allowed him to arrive at the gymnasium early, which was a good thing.

Seeing Lin Yi's face light up, homeroom teacher -040 quickly poured cold water on him: "Don't be happy too early, it's a very special period, be careful before arriving at the gymnasium, and don't relax your vigilance."

Lin Yi pondered: "Teacher... will I become a sports student?"

Homeroom teacher -040 asked back: "Do you want to become a sports student?"

Lin Yi shook his head: "I want to leave."

Homeroom teacher -040 had a strange expression: "But you... your actions, aren't the actions of 'wanting to leave'?"

Lin Yi opened his mouth, unable to refute.

"Forget it, I can understand." Homeroom teacher -040 rubbed her eyebrows, "Based on inspiration, you can't leave the school area through normal channels... yes, you can't pass through the school gate like this."

"You entered the school... emmm... this is the fourth day, right." Homeroom teacher -040 twirled her hair and pondered, "... Do you want to leave early?"

"Is there money for leaving early?"

"..." Homeroom teacher -040 said, "After you leave, you can ask them, see if they give you money, or a fist in the face."

Lin Yi asked again: "So, it's actually possible to leave early?"

"Didn't it say in the rules, you can if you are unwell."

Lin Yi pondered: "So there really is a school doctor?"

Homeroom teacher -040 looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile: "You can try."

"Forget it, I'm very healthy." Lin Yi shook his head, he didn't want to die.

He always felt that something was very wrong with the school doctor.

When he first read the student rules, he didn't feel there was any problem, but as he understood more and more what the "unwell" mentioned in the rules represented, he felt that the existence of the school doctor was a big problem.

Speaking of which, it's also very incredible, his stereotype of the concept of the school doctor has unknowingly developed in the direction of a death surgeon holding a dismemberment chainsaw...
