Chapter 596 Could the boss be a conceptual unit?
At that moment, he was completely restored to normal.

Lin Yi looked at his hands, a look of bewilderment in his eyes. At this moment, he could still feel that his body was composed of countless tiny, decomposable pixels. With just a thought, his body would twist into a bizarre, inhuman shape...

"Oh no, am I even human anymore looking like this?"

Over this period of time, Lin Yi would often ask himself the question of "Am I still human?" after encountering certain events, and each time he reflected on himself, the result was that he was further away from the definition of "human".

Just now, the boss bleeds him, but he doesn't even bleed a drop.

and……

"'Faceless,' huh..." Lin Yi's fingertips slowly moved away from his cheek. "Just now, I became faceless first, and then I returned to normal, didn't I..."

While he stood there in a daze, the group of physical education students around him were already dumbfounded.

Is this the legendary "Mad Healing" that can restore you to your original state as long as you have a breath left?

It’s incredible!

But just how much extraordinary power would be required to do that?
Just then, the eldest brother's clear, cold voice slowly spread out: "Did you see it clearly?"

“Often, learning something is just copying what you see, but the biggest problem is trying to copy something from scratch without ever having seen it before.”

"Remember Lin Yi's transformation just now. Study it carefully in the future; it might save your lives in a critical moment."

Lin Yi had just recovered when he heard his boss lecturing the sports students. He was feeling a bit lost, and a strong sense of social dread suddenly welled up inside him.

The way the eldest brother spoke to the sports student was like a cold and ruthless surgeon telling his apprentice, "Come and take a look, this case is extremely rare, watch carefully and learn well..."

He propped himself up and slowly stood up from the ground. He then stretched his limbs and vaguely felt that his body was a little more stable.

However... he always felt a sense of resistance, because he would occasionally have a feeling of self-awareness and perceive himself as a super pixelated person.

This feeling is nauseating, like having countless pimples on your body, wanting to pop them, but having no idea which one to pick at.

There were too many, so many that he wished he could kill himself.

"Feeling a little uncomfortable? You'll get used to it." The eldest brother spoke slowly. "The more you control your body, the more you can perceive the smallest details, but no matter what, never doubt your own existence or question yourself."

The boss's words were like the final blow to a gong, striking Lin Yi's heart and instantly dispelling his thoughts.

The eldest brother looked at Lin Yi, his narrow eyes gleaming with a spying ability: "From being burdened with pollution to what you are now... even a person with extraordinary talent would not be able to achieve this in less than several decades or even a hundred years. I really don't understand how you did it?"

She didn't say it, but in her opinion, Lin Yi was more like picking up the skills, experience, and... certain abilities he had lost, rather than making so-called "progress".

"That's strange... I don't remember ever seeing you before." The eldest sister squinted, looking Lin Yi up and down, trying to recall something, but in the end, she couldn't find any trace of Lin Yi in her memory.

Lin Yi smiled wryly and said, "Boss, this is my first time at the campus. You must have never seen me before."

The eldest brother's gaze was deep, and his tone was extremely cold: "That's not necessarily true."

"I don't believe you can reach the 'Crazy Healing' level in five days. Besides, judging from other factors, you should have already mastered the ultimate 'Transcendental Perception' of the Art Department, right?"

"A master dream architect capable of penetrating the boundaries of dreams wouldn't be someone who hasn't even mastered 'transcendental perception.'"

"hiss--"

The surrounding physical education students all gasped.

Monster, what a monster!
The ultimate "madness" for the sports department, the ultimate "transcendental perception" for the art department, and most importantly, this Lin Yi seems to be an experimental student!

This is truly a case of both arts and sports flourishing, damn it!
"Lin Yi, Lin Yi, you really surprised me." The eldest brother said, gently patting his shoulder.

Lin Yi, unusually, did not refute, but said in a deep voice, "Actually... I'm becoming more and more confused and lost. I seem to have forgotten some things."

"Picking up the flowers of the morning and evening?" The eldest brother smiled but didn't. "It seems you don't remember many things either."

Lin Yi was slightly taken aback: "Boss, have you also lost your memory?"

The eldest brother said calmly, "Whether I have amnesia or not is not something you should care about. You should think more about yourself. Your situation is truly rare."

"No, rather than rare, it's more accurate to say that this is a unique case."

Lin Yi pursed his lips: "The Golden Body of Bones, what you call 'Berserk Healing,' was forged by the energy waves of the 'Sanctuary' when I went with Old Mo to find the Clock Tower."

"I see." The eldest brother suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if he had just realized something.

"Huh? What do you mean 'I see'?" Lin Yi asked, puzzled.

The old man said, "When I arrived at the Bell Tower yesterday, the waiter told me he met an interesting fellow, and it seems it was you."

"Waiter...? Hiss—" Lin Yi gasped sharply, his face contorting in pain. "You're not talking about 'Night Watchman-02,' are you?!"

"Holy crap!"

Night Watchman-02 is just the "waiter" the boss mentioned?!

Is the leader not just the leader of the sports department...?
Instead...?!

Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine; he was afraid to think any further.

He stared blankly at his boss, thinking to himself, "Boss, you wouldn't happen to be a conceptual-level combat unit, would you?"

Everyone on campus has to call you "boss"?
I think all the titles of "principal" are just empty words. You're the last drop of blood for the campus, aren't you?
"Is there a problem?" The boss glanced at Lin Yi indifferently.

Lin Yi pursed his lips: "Boss... are you already invincible on campus?"

The eldest brother was speechless: "Why would you ask such a question?"

Lin Yi said, "I just feel... that you seem to be far more capable than I imagined."

"I'm definitely more capable than you think, there's no doubt about that." The leader nodded noncommittally.

Sure enough... a sentence popped into Lin Yi's mind: I am invincible in the campus. If I don't fight the root of the problem, who will I fight?
He pressed further, "So... based on your test just now, what level am I roughly at?"

The leader said calmly, "As it stands, he's a bit weaker than a security guard, more like a 'Four-Legged Ash Apostle'."

"'Silk-Foot Ash Apostle'?" Lin Yi's eyes lit up. "Silk-foot... what is that? What level is it?" "Four, not silk." The eldest sister looked at him speechlessly, unable to tell whether Lin Yi was slurring his words or genuinely mispronouncing them.

"Oh, oh, oh, it's a four-legged Ash Apostle?" Lin Yi asked.

“No, that’s not it,” the old man said. “As I just said, I’ve classified Ash Apostles based on my experience. The meaning of a four-legged Ash Apostle is that I need to hit all four legs with my full strength to kill it.”

"Uh..." Lin Yi was speechless. He didn't expect his boss to classify the Ash Apostles in this way, but thinking about it again, it was simple and straightforward.

But then again…

"Boss, you mean you can take me down with just four kicks at full power?"

The leader glanced at him: "You are different from those Ash Apostles after all."

She paused for a moment: "Your bones are hard, so you might need a few more kicks."

"..." Lin Yi silently lowered his head, unable to tell whether his boss was praising him or scolding him.

He thought for a moment, then asked, "Boss, how big is the gap between me and the Night's Watch?"

The leader said bluntly, "You're not even as good as a security guard, how can you compare to the 'Night Watchmen'? You're far inferior to a security guard."

Lin Yi didn't say anything, but he thought to himself, "I'm doomed. Young Master Tian even asked me to defend against the Night People one-on-one. The gap between us is so big, what am I supposed to do?"
“However…” the boss paused.

Lin Yi quickly looked up and said with a wry smile, "Boss, why are you being so mysterious..."

The elder brother said, "I'm just giving you some thought. If your situation is as I guessed, considering you mastered 'Berserk Healing' and 'Transcendental Perception' in just five days, it's not impossible for you to catch up with the 'Supreme Judgment' path."

Lin Yi's eyes lit up immediately: "Boss, are you going to give me intensive training?"

The leader glanced at him indifferently: "If we really put you through special training, it might kill you..."

"Besides that, there are some ways to improve your multi-dimensional qualities, but I can't say to what extent they can be improved."

"I'm just curious, what is your purpose in doing this?"

No normal person would compare themselves to the Night's Watch.

Lin Yi had been to the clock tower once, so he should know just how big the gap was between him and the Night Watchmen.

The difference between Lin Yi and the Night Watchman is stark: one rings the quantum giant bell "Sanctuary" three times with all his might, while the other needs to keep ringing "Sanctuary."

"I..." Lin Yi hesitated. Should he be honest with his boss and ask for leniency?
Although he is "somewhat" an official, can he really tell the boss?
[Tell her.] Just as he hesitated, a strange voice echoed in his mind.

"That voice is...?!" Lin Yi's pupils trembled slightly. It sounded like... the voice of the Great Serpent's Shadow?!
How could the Shadow of Orochi know his thoughts?!

And what does it know?!

"You only have this one chance to be honest with her... If you miss this opportunity, there will be no point in taking the initiative to say it again." The Orochi Shadow amplified the weight of his words.

"Young Master Tian... can you hear me?" Although the Shadow of the Orochi was a timely fighting force that Young Master Tian had negotiated, Lin Yi could not give it absolute trust in this place. At crucial moments, he still needed to call Young Master Tian.

However, Tian Bufan did not respond.

"Young Master Tian, ​​Young Master Tian, ​​the boss is interrogating me... Should I...?"

“Tell her…” Tian Bufan’s voice suddenly rang out, as if he already knew what he was going to say, “And by the way, have her give you the most rigorous training, and make sure to squeeze out all your potential before nightfall.”

After Tian Bufan finished speaking, he disappeared again.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and glanced at the physical education students around him.

The eldest sister immediately parted her lips slightly, her clear and cold voice like a dark cloud covering the area: "The observation and learning are over. Except for Huihuizi, everyone go back to your training."

Xiao Zhouzi and the others immediately understood, and, as if granted a pardon, scattered like birds and beasts, heading to the training area in the gymnastics hall that was farther away from their leader, and returned to their respective training sessions.

Li Huiyuan stayed behind, stood up from the floor, and hesitated, not approaching the boss and Lin Yi immediately.

Lin Yi, however, did not notice Li Huiyuan's change and slowly said, "Boss, actually... I was sent by the authorities."

“I guessed it,” the leader said. “If those officials are completely unaware that a ‘special talent’ like you is entering the campus, then handing the world over to them would be a foolish move. And then what? Do I have to whip you before you move an inch? Hmm?”

She raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Lin Yi quickly and concisely explained his purpose, and then continued, "The principal's disappearance has brought the campus to the brink of collapse. The authorities urgently need to obtain the principal's notebook to study countermeasures."

"So, I'll most likely have to go to the art building again, find the principal's office, and take the notebook with me."

As the eldest sister listened to Lin Yi's words, a strange expression involuntarily appeared on her usually indifferent face at the end.

Lin Yi noticed the change in his boss's micro-expression and couldn't help but ask, "Boss, is there a problem?"

The eldest brother slowly said, "I've known the principal since the school was built, but over the years, I've never heard him mention any notebook."

"Lin Yi, are you sure your execution plan is correct? Could it be that you're missing a crucial part of your memory?"

"Hiss—" The boss's words struck him like a thunderbolt, sending a shiver down his spine. "What did you say?! The principal doesn't even have a notebook?!"

"At least, that's how I see it," the eldest brother said calmly.

Lin Yi fell silent. The boss's goal was also to protect the campus. She had no reason to lie to him, nor did she need to.

If the boss wants to stop him, he can kill him right now.

In the face of absolute strength, sweet words are meaningless.

"However, if you believe there really is such a notebook in the principal's office, then you can certainly go and take a look," the eldest brother said calmly. "But the principal's office isn't easy to find."

"I already know the approximate location," Lin Yi said. "It should be near the observatory, right?"

The eldest brother was taken aback, then couldn't help but chuckle: "It seems you've done your homework quite well."
