This was an entirely new discovery.
The six employees led by Qiu Taoyu fell into contemplation, searching their minds for the concept of a "Time Carrier."
Before long, after glancing around, Zhong Feiluan raised a doubt:
"Not necessarily...
We haven't been to that many places. We can't arbitrarily conclude that the entire university has no clocks, can we?"
Moran propped up her swollen cheek with one hand and mumbled in agreement:
"I agree. If this university has no clocks, how do the other students and teachers determine the time?"
Zhu Xiaoning's expression did not change in the face of the objection. She tossed the alarm clock in her hand and softly voiced her deduction.
"This is more of a conjecture.
There were no clocks in the classroom, none in the Teaching Building, none in the cafeteria or dormitories.
Especially since even my duty room had nothing that displayed the time.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to revise what I said—there are no Time Carriers anywhere in the entire university."
"Mr... Mr. Zhu has a point."
Qiu Taoyu did not know how to properly address Zhu Xiaoning, so she simply used that form of address and explained to the others:
"Don't forget how we entered this mission: through a time that never existed.
Therefore, the university before us—the Ghost-Free Academy—must contain irrationalities.
Perhaps 'the academy has no time' is a wedge."
Qiu Taoyu did not finish the second half of her sentence, but everyone present could fill in the rest themselves.
The employees had entered Ghost-Free Academy on December 32.
Then, should an academy within a nonexistent span of time also not exist?
To enter a nonexistent academy through supernatural means, they would likewise need supernatural means to escape.
This interpretation was novel yet reasonable, because it further validated Ji
