Chapter 307 Beneath the Angel Sculpture…

The P.E. teacher was stunned for a moment, then released his grip: “My apologies.”

Lin Yi landed on his back with a 'thud'.

Li Huiyuan looked at the Grinning Angel sculpture in front of her with surprise, then quietly asked, "Boss, is this the Angel Sculpture? This Wrathful Angel… looks quite normal in size."

The Boss said, "This is the Grinning Angel."

She glanced at the old kerosene lamp on the ground, then looked at the P.E. teacher: "Did you make a move?"

"Looks like you knew too," the P.E. teacher said.

The Boss shook her head slightly: "I've been amplifying this opportunity. It's fine if you make a move; saves me the trouble."

Only Lin Yi was still confused and hadn't reacted: "Uh… what's going on?"

It sounded like the Boss had a plan all along.

The Boss glanced at him, not in a hurry to answer, but turned to the P.E. teacher and asked: "How's the student evacuation going?"

"Looks like it's almost done, but it's hard to say if it will rain outside… They came prepared and will definitely try to create chaos," the P.E. teacher said. "And the way to create chaos is to infect those we evacuate with preliminary contamination and then send them back…"

"Not many people will be able to return to the teaching building; they will definitely be forced back."

"Then let them go to the second floor of the Giant Egg; we'll handle the rest," the Boss said.

The P.E. teacher nodded: "That's the only way."

The Boss seemed to be strategizing, and after chatting for a few more sentences, she turned to Lin Yi and said: "The first time I saw you, I noticed a Grinning Angel had latched onto you, but it was hiding in your shadow. Plus, with 'Ashes' present, it was impossible to make a move on it."

"So, on one hand, I helped you absorb 'Ashes,' and on the other hand, I trained you, all to completely eliminate 'Ashes' or to make the 'Ashes' content in your body as close to zero as possible."

"Once you lose 'Ashes,' the Angel Sculpture won't target you anymore. When that happens, they will leave your shadow."

"As long as it leaves, I'll have a way to deal with it."

"Then just now…?" Lin Yi looked at the P.E. teacher questioningly.

The P.E. teacher said: "Just now, I sensed that the Grinning Angel was using this classmate's mental power to probe the gymnasium, so I took action directly."

"Now that it's left the shadow, it's easier to handle," the Boss nodded affirmatively.

‘Easier to handle’? Lin Yi was shocked. This Grinning Angel had driven Mu Daxian and Maozi to the brink of death, but in front of the Boss and the P.E. teacher, it was… 'Easier to handle'?

The words Mu Daxian said to Maozi flashed in his mind—[If it really doesn't work, going to the gymnasium is also a way out]

Even art students can come to the gymnasium to seek help from the P.E. teacher!

The P.E. teacher's value is evident!

The P.E. teacher looked at the Grinning Angel at his feet and pondered: "I feel it's weaker than the Angel Sculptures we often deal with. Perhaps it was only recently transformed. Do you want to see if there's any way to save it?"

Upon hearing this, the Boss walked to the side of the Grinning Angel sculpture, squatted down, and reached out to press on the Grinning Angel sculpture.

Lin Yi was startled by the Boss's actions and subconsciously muttered to be careful.

Li Huiyuan's ears twitched, and she squinted at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi shivered subconsciously…

‘Strange, the Grinning Angel sculpture is right here, why is there still murderous intent?’

"There's still a chance," the Boss stood up. "I'll try. You guys step back a bit."

As the Boss spoke, she raised her foot and stomped heavily on the Grinning Angel sculpture.

"Bang! Bang! Bang…"

After a few stomps, the Grinning Angel sculpture didn't budge.

"A bit hard…" the Boss muttered, wiggled her ankle, then raised her foot again, preparing to gather strength for another stomp, but just then, a faint sound appeared.

"Crack…"

A layer of fine cracks appeared on the spot where the Grinning Angel sculpture was stomped by the Boss, and it immediately spread out.

This Grinning Angel sculpture was like a cocoon!

"This…?!" Lin Yi and Li Huiyuan widened their eyes at the same time. "There's something inside?"

‘Grinning Angels don't have physical bodies, so how can they ‘hatch’ something after transforming from that strange soul state into stone?!’

Lin Yi was both shocked and horrified, and listening to the P.E. teacher's words—"Is there any way to save it"—didn't that mean that inside this Grinning Angel sculpture, perhaps… was a person?!

After being covered with cracks, the Grinning Angel sculpture cracked inch by inch, peeling off like dry old tree bark, and in the wreckage of the fragments, there was a figure curled up…

The figure looked somewhat familiar to Lin Yi. The Boss turned him over and then rummaged through his body.

This was a young man who looked about the same age as Lin Yi, with dyed yellow hair and wearing a dirty, worn jacket.

Looking at this outfit and that face, a wave of memories instantly surged into Lin Yi's heart, and a figure from the past immediately appeared in his mind!

This person should be—

"Dorm Manager - 28 - X0230503021…" The Boss rolled up his sleeve and saw a string of numbers engraved on his wrist.

"The kerosene lamp burned out, he got lost in the layers, chasing the illusory light, and was eventually transformed into an angel…"

The Boss lowered her eyes slightly and sighed faintly.

"It should have been transformed recently… There's a lot of 'Grey Mist' in his body, it's estimated that it will be difficult to revive him."

Upon hearing this, the P.E. teacher silently walked to the hourglass on the side. He picked up the hourglass, exerted a little force, and crushed the outer shell of the hourglass.

As the petrified hourglass shell broke and peeled off, an old kerosene lamp without brilliance appeared in front of them.

"Another one recycled…"

The P.E. teacher picked up all three old kerosene lamps.

"I'll take this lamp back to the office and give it to the security guard on duty tonight." The P.E. teacher weighed the last ineffective old kerosene lamp, then handed one to the Boss, "You take him to the basement?"

The Boss took the lamp.

"Then smash it clean. The fragments of the Angel Sculpture are a delicacy for that bunch of green hats."

"Okay." The P.E. teacher nodded.

Just then, the entrance of the gymnasium suddenly became noisy again. The students who had originally crowded out of the gymnasium returned the same way and poured into the gymnasium.

The Boss frowned slightly: "As expected, it's raining."

"They've overwritten the weather. It seems they've brought the invasion forward." The muscles on the P.E. teacher's cheeks twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Quite a big move… I don't know if there are any problems in the art building and the cafeteria."

"You act according to the plan, I'll go arrange for others."

"Okay." The Boss grabbed "Dorm Manager - 28 - X0230503021" and carried him, who was unconscious, like a bag.

Before leaving, she looked at Li Huiyuan and Lin Yi, and instructed, "Go to the second floor of the Giant Egg immediately to take refuge. If you encounter any unexpected situations, you can act according to your intuition, but do not leave the second floor of the Giant Egg."

"Huihui Zi... remember the contents of the 'Sports Student Code'."

Li Huiyuan nodded.

Lin Yi really wanted to say, 'What about the 'Sports Student Code' you promised me?' but he also had some sense and knew that now was not the time to say this, so he obediently shut his mouth.

In fact, the things that had happened from the time he arrived at the gymnasium were not enough for him to think about, let alone the 'Sports Student Code'.

"Hey! Where's Liangzi?!" Lin Yi suddenly slapped his head, realizing that he had been separated from Wei Liang as soon as he left the swimming pool!

"There's no time to think about that now. If Liangliangzi is in the gymnasium, he will definitely appear on the second floor of the Giant Egg. Let's go over there quickly!" Li Huiyuan urged.

"Time is of the essence, let's go, let's go!" Lin Yi nodded.

In just a short while, the other experience students had already poured into the only [safe passage] inside the gymnasium under the guidance of the physical education teachers and sports students.

"There are too many people, Lin Yi, take my hand, don't get separated." Li Huiyuan said seriously, and then stretched out her hand.

The newest and most complete novels are on 69shuba.com!

"Okay." Lin Yi didn't hesitate, grabbed Li Huiyuan's hand, and then merged into the crowd, heading towards the safe passage.

The crowd was noisy, and the words were full of anxiety, worry, and fear. Those negative emotions of fear seemed to be evaporating above the crowd like mosquitoes, making Lin Yi feel it clearly as if it were cutting his skin.

Some flickering fragments appeared before his eyes. In the dark corners of the gymnasium, he seemed to see the shadows of several chefs wearing green aprons.

And in this crowded crowd, he also seemed to sense the existence of some imposters.

This feeling came very suddenly, like an electric current窜过 through his body, flashing by, but he just felt it.

His heart suddenly rose. He finally knew what the boss meant by adapting to circumstances—even if they went to the second floor of the Giant Egg, they would still need to deal with threats from imposters.

And the good news is... it's not just the experience students who are going to the second floor of the Giant Egg, there are also some sports students.

Some sports students were directing the crowd.

"Don't crowd, there is enough time!"

"Line up, line up!"

"Skinny guy over there, did you hear me? Line up honestly!"

"Be conscious!"

…

Before long, Lin Yi followed Li Huiyuan into the safe passage.

When they entered the safe passage, a cool feeling, as if crossing a hidden portal, also fell on Lin Yi. He subconsciously glanced at his side.

It turned out that the entrance of the safe passage had a door, but the door was always open.

He continued to move forward.

The width of this safe passage was very large, like the driving passage of an ordinary underground garage. The surroundings were solid and cold stones, like a tunnel dug out of a mountain, which seemed to be completely different from the building materials inside the gymnasium.

Although the passage was wide, it still made people feel crowded in the large crowd. In addition, the orange-yellow light curtain cast by the incandescent lamps hanging above gave the whole environment a sense of oppression like being in a chicken breeding greenhouse.

After walking for a while, Lin Yi actually felt that this passage seemed a little familiar.

Before he could think of anything, a strange call sounded behind him.

[Lin Yi...]

Lin Yi's footsteps suddenly paused, and his pupils moved fiercely.

Li Huiyuan, who was holding his hand, was pulled like a horse pulling on the reins, and then looked at Lin Yi in confusion.

Lin Yi's body seemed to be floating with a hazy aura, and the hand holding her also seemed to become a little cold, as if soaked in cold water.

"Lin, Lin Yi...?" Li Huiyuan called out worriedly.

At this moment, Lin Yi's eyes were still on the scene in the passage, but accompanied by the fierce sense of familiarity, a picture flashed through his mind!

He slowly looked at the end of the safe passage. The exit, which was originally with light, became dim for some reason. As if he had precognitive abilities, he saw a huge torrent of water涌来 coming from the end of the passage, and then instantly淹没 submerged the entire passage...

Immediately afterwards, moss began to appear on the inner wall of the passage. Before long, it became the submerged castle passage he had seen in his hallucination...

[Lin Yi...]

He heard the voice again, it seemed to be a familiar timbre, but he couldn't remember who it was.

But the direction in which the voice appeared was clearly from behind him—not behind the safe passage, but behind the world corresponding to this hallucination!

The figure bound by chains was hauntingly chasing his figure, constantly calling him.

"Lin Yi... Lin Yi..."

He heard the echo-like calls in his ears, and in front of him was Li Huiyuan's somewhat anxious face.

He quickly shook his head gently, dispersed the hallucination, and then said, "I'm fine, I'm fine... Let's go, let's go, let's go to the Giant Egg quickly!"

"Really okay...?" After several drowning operations at the swimming pool, Li Huiyuan obviously didn't believe him now.

But seeing Lin Yi so sure, she didn't ask any more questions, and decided to go to the Giant Egg first.

At this time, Lin Yi noticed that there were actually some murals hanging on the walls of this safe passage...

However, the murals were far apart from each other, and unlike other sports venues, which were filled with classic moments in the history of the venue and records of the team's honors, they were some strange landscape paintings that looked a little unclear.

Some of the murals were rough lines, which looked like dynamic sports moments, but also like ordinary characters.

Some of the murals were simply filled with strange graphic symbols using brushstrokes similar to calligraphy stickers...

This was a very discordant phenomenon. Imagine a group of hot girls in short skirts appearing during an NBA halftime break, instead of Ma Honyuan coming out to perform a set of Lightning Five-Punch.

The taste is very strange.

Walking forward, the ground of the passage began to be covered with soft blue carpets. Walking on it, you could hardly hear footsteps, making people feel like they were walking in a sacred hall.

Pure white light appeared at the end of the passage, like the light gate in the depths of the green forest.

Before Lin Yi could feel it carefully, he walked out of the end with the crowd and was swallowed by the white light...
