Chapter 421 Xu Shunkang’s information
X May 10, 2023, 8:02, Class 2, Group B.
Nine sports students formed a small group, sitting in the same area. They were silent to each other. Each of their faces had the word "worry" written on them, and they looked like they were bitter and resentful.
Xu Shunkang clasped his fingers and rested his elbows on the folding table in front of him. His face was gloomy and his eyes were out of focus. He didn't know what he was doing. He had a bit of the lonely and cold temperament that Bu Jingyun had when he was sitting on the eaves.
Sensing Lin Yi's approach, Xu Shunkang, who had just sat down, raised his head slightly and looked at Lin Yi, with a flash of regret in his eyes.
Lin Yi walked to Xu Shunkang's side and asked, "Senior, can we have a chat?"
The arrival of Lin Yi broke the dull atmosphere in this area.
Xu Shunkang glanced at him, then at Li Huiyuan, and nodded.
"Sit down."
Seeing Xu Shunkang inviting Lin Yi to sit down, the sports students around him had a look of surprise in their eyes, but they didn't say anything.
"What do you want to ask?" Xu Shunkang asked directly.
Lin Yi did not mince words and went straight to the point: "Senior, I would like to ask what happened last night?"
As soon as Lin Yi asked this question, the expressions of the surrounding sports students became nervous, and they all subconsciously looked at Xu Shunkang.
The dull atmosphere that was originally somewhat dispersed seemed to have become somewhat solidified.
Xu Shunkang's fists clenched suddenly, and his body became faintly tense.
He slowly spit out four words: "A bloody battle..."
After saying that, he became silent again.
Lin Yi sat next to him. Seeing that he had not spoken again, he was brewing some questions. But just when he was about to take the initiative to ask, Xu Shunkang took a deep breath, and then asked: "I heard that Lao Mo came to see you last night. "
Lin Yi didn't know why Xu Shunkang asked this question, and he didn't know that Xu Shunkang actually knew Lao Mo, so he nodded: "Yes."
"What is he... looking for you for?" Xu Shunkang asked.
Originally it was Lin Yi who came to Xu Shunchang to ask about the situation, but now it was Xu Shunchang who started asking him questions.
Hearing Lao Mo's name, the sports students on the side were also interested and turned their attention to Lin Yi, with a hint of curiosity and admiration in their eyes.
Of course, Lin Yi knew clearly in his heart that this curiosity and admiration were not for him, but for Lao Mo.
He fell silent.
Xu Shunkang's gloomy expression changed slightly.
Lin Yi saw this and continued to test: "And... the owner of the canteen?"
Xu Shunkang's mouth twitched hard, and finally, he uttered one word: "Fuck..."
"Okay, okay..." He leaned back on the chair helplessly. He underestimated Lin Yi, and Lin Yi's concerns actually made him worried.
It’s so outrageous that his mother opened the door for outrageousness. It’s so outrageous.
"Lao Mo took me to the art building."
"Well...then what?"
"That's it..."
"It's just that, I can guess it. Nothing else? What is he going to the art building for? Why does he have to take you with him?" Xu Shunkang asked confused.
"Lao Mo is going to save an art student named "Mu Daxian". I don't know exactly what their relationship is, but they seem to have a good friendship." Lin Yi replied selectively, "As for bringing me with you... that's because I have some talents and can help him."
“‘Mu Daxian’…” Xu Shunkang murmured to himself, “Is it him?”
“You also know Mu Daxian?” Lin Yi asked in return.
"I know something." Xu Shunkang said, "I heard that he is an art student with a very good talent in art. We have gone to the Chiyuan Art Building several times before, and I have seen him fighting side by side with the art teacher from a distance. His ability is very outstanding... I feel ashamed."
"Has Lao Mo returned to the canteen?" Xu Shunkang asked.
Lin Yi subconsciously tightened the shoulder straps of his backpack, and said in a low voice: "No..."
"This..." Xu Shunkang had an ominous premonition, "No way? Could it be..."
Lin Yi said in a deep voice: "Old Mo... he sacrificed..."
"What?!"
"This...?!"
Xu Shunkang's expression suddenly changed, and the sports students around him also showed shocked expressions.
Xu Shunkang had a look of regret in his eyes, and said in a voiceless tone: "What the boss said is indeed true...Old Mo will probably not come back alive if he goes to the art building... But if he dies, how will he be able to guard the cafeteria in the next few days?"
Lao Mo is the last drop of blood in the cafeteria. As long as Lao Mo is in the cafeteria, the cafeteria will be locked on the last drop of blood no matter how it falls. But if Lao Mo is gone, the "blood locking mechanism" of the cafeteria will not exist.
"Perhaps... the canteen owner is back?" Lin Yi said softly.
"The canteen owner...?" Hearing the name of the canteen owner, Xu Shunkang's expression was very unnatural, as if he was more fearful than respectful, "Have you seen him in the art building?"
"I only saw a vague shadow..." Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Can you listen to this?"
Xu Shunkang said: "I can listen, but I can't listen too much. I just want to ask...Does the canteen owner know about Lao Mo's sacrifice in the art building?"
But Xu Shunkang's words reminded Lin Yi that Lao Mo was the last drop of blood in the cafeteria. Could it be that taking Lao Mo's heart back had something to do with the "blood locking mechanism" of the cafeteria?
Xu Shunkang felt a little calmer after hearing this: "Since the canteen boss knows about this matter, he probably already has a countermeasure, but I still have to report this matter to the boss as soon as possible..."
< br/> "Uh, um..." Lin Yi said quickly, "If you want to talk to the boss, please add one more thing, try not to worry too much about Lao Mo, uh, I mean... the matter is a foregone conclusion. Rather than being distracted by this matter, it is better to take care of your own affairs first."
Xu Shunkang hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I will take what you said. The boss doesn't like others to teach her how to do things, but I will say that you asked me to say it."
"Hiss..." Lin Yi took a slight breath, feeling that there seemed to be something in Xu Shunchang's words.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" he asked. If not, it would be his turn.
"There is more." Xu Shunkang said.
One-stop version!
"Okay..." Lin Yi responded helplessly, "You ask."
"Old Mo died, how did you come back? What was the situation in the art building yesterday?"
Xu Shunchang's question was too broad, and Lin Yi didn't know how to answer it, so he thought about it carefully, and then said what Xu Shunchang wanted to know.
But what else could he say? It was nothing more than the Laughing Angel entering the art building, and the art students were protecting it... but what he himself had experienced was omitted by him.
There is no loophole in Lin Yi's words, because that is the fact. He chose to tell the truth, but only selected part of the facts to tell. He even concealed the matter in the library.
Xu Shunkang always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't explain it, so he asked again: "Then how did you come back alone?"
Lin Yidao: "Before he sacrificed his life, Lao Mo helped me plan an escape route... I followed the steps and successfully returned to the campus."
Xu Shunkang fell silent after listening. He didn't seem to get the answer he wanted to know, but he didn't know what to ask again.
But this was the crux of the problem. He didn't know what Lin Yi's "itinerary" was at all. Naturally, he could only raise some questions based on his "perceived Lin Yi's itinerary", but could not raise targeted questions about Lin Yi's real itinerary.
Seeing that Xu Shunkang stopped asking questions, Lin Yi said: "Senior, do you have any more questions? If not, can you answer a few questions I want to know?"
Xu Shunkang stared at it. Lin Yi looked at Lin Yi's face for a few seconds, then nodded: "You ask."
"What happened at the gymnasium last night?"
Xu Shunkang said solemnly: "What do you want to know?"
Lin Yi thought for a while, and wanted to shamelessly say that he actually wanted to know everything, but considering that this might make Xu Shunkang feel uncomfortable, he asked pointedly: "I want to know what the gymnasium looked like when the gray fog invaded, and why the boss and the others went to the Art Building, but I didn't seem to see them at all?"
This is Lin Yixian The advantage of answering Xu Shunchang's question was that Xu Shunchang couldn't refuse Lin Yi's question now, so he nodded slightly and asked: "Before I say it, I want to confirm whether your cognition can bear this answer? Regarding... the invasion of gray fog."
Lin Yi nodded: "Old Mo told me many things, I think I should know."
In fact, he does not need to endorse Lao Mo, but using Lao Mo will increase the credibility of his words by an order of magnitude.
Sure enough, when he heard Lao Mo's name, Xu Shunkang's expression became more solemn.
Lao Mo would not bring Lin Yi with him when he went to the Art Building for no reason. There must be many reasons for this, but Xu Shunkang was not sure whether his own knowledge could support him in knowing the secrets here, so he did not ask questions.
Now in Xu Shunkang's view, Lao Mo seemed to have had a premonition of his own sacrifice, so he told Lin Yi some things.
What is Lao Mo planning to do? Is he going to make Lin Yi a black bib chef? But the path of "Black Chef"...is this the way to go? Xu Shunkang was unsure.
Perhaps only the boss knows what Lao Mo thinks, but he doesn’t have the guts to ask the boss about these things.
He then organized his thoughts, and then replied: "Since you know about the "gray mist invasion", you should know that the essence of the gray mist invasion is a force that does not belong to this world, trying to invade this world."
Lin Yi nodded.
We will shoulder the responsibility of building the embankment. "
"Some dirty things will mix with the waves and wash up on the shore. We need to deal with them in time, otherwise when they enter the plain behind the embankment, the consequences will be catastrophic."
"I don't know why, the dike that was originally cracked became surprisingly stable, so our work became much easier."
"But the boss had a premonition of something ominous, so he took some classmates to the art building..."
"You should know what the situation is like there when you come back from the art building."
"If the gymnasium is a dike, Then the art building is the first gate in the river. "
Xu Shunkang paused, and then said: "You didn't see the boss and the others because they didn't enter the art building..."
"Didn't enter the art building?" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, "Did they reach the coastline?"
"You really know this." Xu Shunkang said.
Lin Yi did not deny: "That's the road Lao Mo took me to take. I think maybe it's the same as the boss and the others."
"The non-existent road outside the stadium seems to be a path that exists by default for people with high combat power. It's just that stepping on that road requires a certain strength foundation, so some people who are not strong enough don't know it..." Lin Yi had a clear understanding in his heart.
"But in this case, why is Xu Shunkang's expression so ugly?"
Lin Yi asked; "What happened when the boss and the others supported the art building? Was there an accident?"
Xu Shunkang gritted his teeth and said: "You have also been on that road, so you should know that not everyone can walk on that road. Even if there is a boss leading the team, only a small number of second-level sports students and above can go there, and the rest will stay in the green forest belt to eliminate some angry angels and fanatical believers."
"The problem arises here."
"I don't know what the fanatic believers did this time, but they actually attracted an ominous thing..."
"It was an existence that transcended ordinary angel sculptures, exuding the luster of glass fragments, and filled with dust like the afterglow of the sunset..."
