Chapters 568–593 Vol. 6 Read

Ch. 568Kuai Kuai understood Mystical Runes?!

Lin Yi emerged from Mao Feiyang’s Dream Boundary with clues about the Quartermaster, Amon’s Music Box, and the Bronze Key, then entered Kuai Hongji’s perspective in the Wooded Belt. He discovered Kuai Hongji was preparing by carving symbols resembling Admonition into trees and Wrathful Angel Sculptures, raising the possibility that Kuai Hongji understood the powerful script.

  • Little Girl carried Amon’s Music Box out of her bedroom, completing a time loop that led her to meet Mao Feiyang in the Gallery.
  • Lin Yi left Mao Feiyang’s Dream Boundary and recalled clues about the Quartermaster, the Bronze Key, and a possible time paradox involving Amon’s Music Box.
  • Lin Yi entered Kuai Hongji’s perspective in the Wooded Belt and watched him carve marks into tree trunks and locate Wrathful Angel Sculptures.
  • Kuai Hongji slapped a trembling Wrathful Angel Sculpture until it became docile, then carved symbols into its shell.
  • Lin Yi recognized that Kuai Hongji’s symbols resembled Admonition and wondered whether Kuai Hongji could understand and use it.

Ch. 569Tian Bufan's guidance

Lin Yi used Tian Bufan’s perspective to investigate the strange wind beyond a broken classroom window, where Domain Insight revealed a distorted sea and a vortex. A figure warned him about time, urged him not to save someone and to run, while a chorus of sculptures promised to await him in the Wasteland.

  • Lin Yi wondered whether Kuai Hongji and the night watchmen were connected to Supreme Judgment, then suspected Kuai Hongji had been setting up a matrix.
  • From Tian Bufan’s perspective, Lin Yi heard Tian Bufan address him and followed his guidance to sense the wind at a broken classroom window.
  • Lin Yi’s perception was torn apart when he reached through the crack, so he used Domain Insight to examine the world beyond it.
  • Lin Yi saw the Art Building, a sea of impossible colors, drifting ashes, and a vortex that formed in the distorted space.
  • A figure emerged from the vortex and warned Lin Yi that the time was wrong, told him not to save someone and to run, and called him the key before being pulled away.
  • Broken sculptures sang to Lin Yi, saying they awaited him in the Wasteland and that he knew their form, name, authority, and power.

Ch. 570"Self-taught" Admonition?

Lin Yi revisited the rainy night of May 9 through his Dream Boundary and discovered that he had spoken a powerful Admonition in a mysterious language while fighting the High-Rank Alien Angel. As the dream began to break apart, he also glimpsed a figure resembling the Proto-Type Ashes Apostles.

  • Lin Yi connected Tian Bufan’s dream messages about time and a key to The Starry Night and the Principal’s Office.
  • Lin Yi realized Tian Bufan, Maozi, and Kuai Kuai might have been using Dream Sharing to send him information and test whether he was listening.
  • Lin Yi entered his own memories of the May 9 battle at the Art Building, where the High-Rank Alien Angel’s tendrils tore at him while his flesh regenerated.
  • Lin Yi relived his past self chanting a Norwegian-like Admonition, then understood that the words had awakened the power of Supreme Judgment and let him break through the Angel’s blockade.
  • Lin Yi spotted a fleeting figure amid the fog that might have been one of the Proto-Type Ashes Apostles, just as cloud vapor began to dissolve the dream perspective.

Ch. 571The Principal's message

Lin Yi revisited a Library memory, heard the Little Girl warn him not to cry, and recovered an Admonition about the Mourners returning. In a frozen memory of the classroom battle, he heard the Principal’s message urging him to find the Notebook and Time Compass, destroy or reconstruct the notes, and escape the Campus.

  • Lin Yi saw the Little Girl’s will guide his past self toward The Law-Establisher's Words, and she recognized his rune-branded arm before telling him not to cry.
  • Lin Yi deciphered the Admonition: “When the black moon withers, the Mourners shall return from the Endless Deep Sea.”
  • Lin Yi’s vision shifted to the frozen classroom scene where the Proto-Type Ashes Apostles had descended, and he recognized a figure within its spiraling form.
  • The figure identified himself as the Principal and said he had found a breakthrough but was trapped beyond a boundary and unable to return.
  • The Principal told Lin Yi to find his Notebook, destroy it or try reconstructing it, locate the Time Compass, and escape the Campus.

Ch. 572I'm Not Me?!

Lin Yi heard the Proto-Type Ashes Apostle call itself the Principal and feared that his identity and memories were part of a cycle. His dream then revealed Wei Shan fighting Grinning Angels with the power of Supreme Judgment, leaving Lin Yi wondering what Wei Shan would face before he woke.

  • Lin Yi considered whether the Proto-Type Ashes Apostle was his future self or the Principal, then heard an eerie song as the figure vanished into white Fog.
  • Lin Yi reflected on the dangers of the Dream Boundary and checked his watch, realizing he had only an hour left to dream.
  • Lin Yi entered Wei Shan’s perspective and saw him drenched in rain, swelling as white Fog poured from him and golden power spread over his arms.
  • Wei Shan seized a Grinning Angel by the throat and slammed it into the ground, revealing blazing eyes and power Lin Yi identified as Supreme Judgment.
  • Lin Yi realized his amnesia and Wei Shan’s Claustrophobia might be protective mechanisms, and suspected Wei Shan was about to encounter something Lin Yi could not witness before waking.

Ch. 574Wei Shan's descent while covering the rear

Wei Shan fought off the night-walking species and Grinning Angels, but their attacks and apparent attempt to contaminate him drove him into a chaotic frenzy. Kuai Hongji and Tian Bufan arrived as Wei Shan turned on them, and Tian Bufan restrained him while Kuai Hongji dispelled his baseball bat.

  • Wei Shan destroyed a Grinning Angel and used his golden aura and baseball bat to fend off waves of night-walking species near a streetlamp.
  • After the streetlamp went dark, Wei Shan lured the Grinning Angels into range, made them solid with his bat, and drained one of its vital essence.
  • The Grinning Angels welcomed being killed, and their attacks left Wei Shan increasingly confused, violent, and corrupted as the Forest of the Dead's Steles chanted around him.
  • Lin Yi suspected a higher-ranking force was directing the Grinning Angels and realized Kuai Kuai might be connected to Wei Shan's eventual escape.
  • Kuai Hongji and Tian Bufan emerged from the fog; Tian Bufan caught Wei Shan's bat as he attacked, and Kuai Hongji unraveled the weapon's mystical runes.
  • Wei Shan tried to punch Kuai Hongji, but Tian Bufan stopped him.

Ch. 575The first glimpse of Tian Bufan's strength

Tian Bufan subdued the berserk Wei Shan, while Kuai Hongji marked the remaining Grinning Angels with mysterious Runes that Lin Yi learned to read. The Security Guard destroyed the Angels and their corpses, and Lin Yi’s Dream continued into a vision of Zhao Lingxiao.

  • Tian Bufan threw Wei Shan to the ground, breaking the Fog’s hold on him, then urged the group to leave after Kuai Hongji dealt with the remaining Grinning Angels.
  • Kuai Hongji commanded the Grinning Angels to freeze and marked each one with symbols as Lin Yi watched and wondered how he controlled them.
  • The Runes formed the words “De som jager lyset i tke blir til slutt fantomer,” which Lin Yi understood as “The Fog-Shrouded Light Chaser ultimately becomes a Phantom.”
  • A Security Guard arrived, smashed the Grinning Angels with his Spiked Club, absorbed their lingering power into the Old Kerosene Lamp, and vanished into the Fog.
  • Lin Yi’s Dream continued after the others’ perspectives, then flickered into a vision of Zhao Lingxiao slumped on the ground.

Ch. 576[Why not join us in chasing light through the fog?]

Lin Yi discovered that Zhao Lingxiao had followed traces of his Supernatural Power and glimpsed him through the Dream Boundary. After he fled, she recovered from the Layer’s disruption but was haunted by a vision of herself as a Faceless chained sculpture, then remembered Lin Yi and became fascinated by his scent.

  • Lin Yi watched Zhao Lingxiao crawl through the Layer and lick up scraps of the Corpse-Burial Root Tendrils he had left behind.
  • Zhao Lingxiao followed the Supernatural Power traces to Lin Yi’s viewpoint, saw the Admonition Mystical Runes, and recognized him as a phantom connected to them.
  • Lin Yi realized he had penetrated the Dream Boundary and vanished before Zhao Lingxiao could identify him.
  • Zhao Lingxiao returned to her normal state but heard eerie voices and saw a chained, broken sculpture resembling herself before it disappeared.
  • Zhao Lingxiao recalled Lin Yi and the Mystical Runes, sensed his lingering scent, and called it delicious.

Ch. 577Waking from the Dream, Beyond the Window

After a dream filled with past fragments, Lin Yi woke with a clue linking the Gallery’s sinister figure to the Convenience Store Owner and discovered that the Art Building’s Layer remained visible over the Campus in daylight. Tian Bufan suspected the Gray Fog Invasion had risen in rank because Lin Yi’s adaptation and their arrival had drawn “Its” attention.

  • Lin Yi wondered whether he had penetrated the Dream Boundary and altered Zhao Lingxiao’s past, then considered that his actions might have already been part of a time loop.
  • Lin Yi nearly looked at the Angel through a dream fragment, but the dream space shook and swept the fragment away before he could glimpse it.
  • As he woke, Lin Yi recalled an inspiration showing that the sinister figure in the Gallery resembled the Convenience Store Owner’s form.
  • Lin Yi found the Ouroboros Ring hanging around his neck and returned it to the Black Wooden Box.
  • Lin Yi saw the Art Building’s Layer in the sky through the window glass, though the view disappeared when Wei Liang opened the window.
  • Tian Bufan concluded that the Art Building’s Layer was merging with the Campus and that Lin Yi’s adaptation and their arrival had likely attracted “Its” attention, raising the Gray Fog Invasion’s rank.

Ch. 578The bells rang out the signal for the Day of Destruction

Tian Bufan explained that Lin Yi’s exposed coordinates in the Dream Boundary may have triggered the Gray Fog Invasion, while the Art Building Layer’s passage into the Campus continued to stabilize. As Lin Yi’s group prepared to leave the Dormitory, every nearby door handle began to turn, and Tian Bufan rushed them toward the Elevator Area.

  • Tian Bufan told Lin Yi that the Night Watchmen had rung the bells of the Day of Destruction after Maozi reached the Art Building, and that Lin Yi’s adaptation may have exposed his coordinates to Angel.
  • Lin Yi and Tian Bufan saw Grinning Angels and dangerous Black Liquid seeping through a twisted line where the Art Building Layer met the Campus Layer.
  • Lin Yi’s group investigated unexplained moss in the Bathroom, packed their supplies, and prepared to leave the Dormitory.
  • As the group opened their door, dormitory handles along the corridor began turning, and Tian Bufan led everyone toward the Elevator Area.
  • Kuai Hongji urged nearby residents to follow them, and Tian Bufan asked Lin Yi for two tomatoes as they ran.

Ch. 579In someone's sights again

Lin Yi's group escaped the Impersonators by using a tomato to clear the elevator entrance, then reached the first floor. A team led by Su Yao mistook them for Realm of God elites and decided to follow them, prompting Lin Yi to warn his companions that they were being watched again.

  • Tian Bufan explained that Impersonators had taken over unoccupied dormitories and suspected the Dorm Supervisor's kerosene lamp had turned the Night-Walking Species into moss.
  • Tian Bufan lured the Impersonators away from the elevator with a crushed tomato, allowing Kuai Hongji and the Experience Students to board safely.
  • Lin Yi observed the five Experience Students during the elevator ride, and the groups reached the first floor together.
  • After Lin Yi's group left, Su Yao identified Lin Yi as a Dreamweaving Person, and her captain suspected the group belonged to the Realm of God.
  • The captain ordered the Experience Students to follow Lin Yi's group without being noticed, while Lin Yi warned his companions that someone was watching them.

Ch. 580Heading to the Cafeteria

Lin Yi and his companions headed to the Cafeteria, where Tian Bufan explained why Lin Yi had not been told about the plan involving Maozi and warned him to keep a clear objective when penetrating the dream boundary. The group reached the Cafeteria area, where Lin Yi sensed the smell of rain-soaked mud and blood.

  • Lin Yi told the group what Su Yao and the others had said about them, and Kuai Hongji explained that he had called out to draw the others into distracting impersonators.
  • Tian Bufan explained that he had withheld the plan involving Night Watchman-02 to avoid a time-loop paradox and warned Lin Yi not to reveal conflicting intentions while penetrating the dream boundary.
  • Tian Bufan said Kuai Hongji would take the Dorm Supervisor pathway to the Art Building that night and warned that something had happened to their floor's Dorm Supervisor.
  • Tian Bufan explained that the Security Guard had cleared away traces of the night-walking species, and Lin Yi wondered how strong he had become.
  • The group entered the Cafeteria area shortly after seven, and Lin Yi sensed an odor of rain-soaked mud and blood.

Ch. 581Star Script

Lin Yi and his companions found the Cafeteria grounds scarred by a deadly battle, then discussed how Star Script related to cosmic laws and the supreme Supernatural Creations. They reached the Cafeteria entrance still uncertain about Lao Mo and the damage elsewhere on Campus.

  • Lin Yi used Domain Insight to see chef sculptures, blood, and discarded knives scattered along the road to the Cafeteria, while Wei Shan and Tian Bufan warned him about the losses and the other damaged areas.
  • Su Yao sensed intense death and resentment in the Cafeteria area, so her captain linked the five-person team with iron chains and assigned them roles as they followed Lin Yi's group.
  • Lin Yi told Tian Bufan that he might have learned Admonition in his dream, and Tian Bufan identified the writing as Star Script, a record of the universe's laws.
  • Tian Bufan explained that everyone already knew Star Script beneath a cognition lock and that the Divine Artisan had inscribed it into the three supreme Supernatural Creations, including Sanctuary.
  • Lin Yi and his companions collected the Cafeteria Rules and approached the Student Passage, where Lin Yi mourned Lao Mo's absence.

Ch. 582Lao Mo?

Lin Yi entered the Student Passage, endured a vision of the Library, and found Lao Mo restored but apparently without his memories. In the Student Dining Hall, Lin Yi ate tomato and egg noodles and purified the supernatural contamination inside them, but Green Apron Chefs suddenly appeared beside him, Wei Shan, and Kuai Hongji.

  • Lin Yi saw a vision of the Library upon entering the Student Passage, then escaped it by using his watch as an anchor.
  • Lin Yi found Lao Mo standing stiffly at the passage exit, and Tian Bufan and Kuai Hongji said he might have been revived without his memories.
  • Lao Mo's lips moved after the group entered the Cafeteria, and he faintly called Lin Yi a “Repeater kid.”
  • Lin Yi ordered tomato and egg noodles from a Green Apron Chef, while Tian Bufan chose plain porridge and other companions also ordered noodles.
  • Lin Yi ate the noodles and purified their supernatural contamination before realizing the Burial Body's Root Tendrils could carry its will into him.
  • Green Apron Chefs silently appeared beside Lin Yi, Wei Shan, and Kuai Hongji as they ate.

Ch. 583Blowing up the kitchen

Lin Yi’s group triggered an explosion at Meal Window No. 10 to escape the Green Apron Chefs, then discussed what it revealed about the Cafeteria’s collapse and the Convenience Store Owner’s possible motives. Afterward, Su Yao’s group suspected Lin Yi’s companions were Athlete Students, while Lao Mo appeared in the Student Passage and fixed his gaze on Su Yao.

  • Kuai Hongji secretly inscribed mystical runes on bowls while Wei Shan and Lin Yi helped distract the Green Apron Chefs, then led the group toward the exit.
  • The Green Apron Chefs’ tracking mechanism caused the bowls to shatter, activating the runes and blowing up Meal Window No. 10 as Lin Yi’s group escaped.
  • Outside the Student Dining Hall, Kuai Hongji explained that his runes had absorbed and accelerated the contamination, while Tian Bufan deduced that the Cafeteria was close to collapse.
  • Tian Bufan suggested the Convenience Store Owner might benefit from Lao Mo’s condition, and warned Lin Yi not to let speculation alter his cognition or influence others.
  • Su Yao’s group discussed whether Lin Yi’s companions were Athlete Students rather than people from the Realm of God, then entered the Student Passage.
  • Lao Mo appeared at the far end of the Student Passage, looked toward Su Yao, and said, “Ash... es...”

Ch. 584Invisible Boundary Gate

Lin Yi heard the Broken Sculptures’ song while in his normal state, then discovered that the Cafeteria’s walls contained flesh from the Burial Body. After sensing an invisible boundary around the Teaching Building, he crossed it with Tian Bufan and began revealing the death-filled Layer within.

  • Lin Yi heard the Broken Sculptures singing in his normal state, and Tian Bufan explained that his expanding Perception let him receive more information as he adapted.
  • Lin Yi entered a detached Perception state and saw Burial Body flesh embedded in the Student Passage walls, leading him to suspect it parasitized the Cafeteria and sustained the Green Apron Chefs.
  • Lin Yi and Tian Bufan left the Cafeteria after finding no Tomato Sauce on their uniforms, and Lin Yi noticed that the Trash Can was missing.
  • Lin Yi sensed Ashes on the Chef Sculptures and suggested asking Lin Shiling about them as the group approached the Teaching Building boundary.
  • Lin Yi detected an invisible gate around the Teaching Building area, crossed it with Tian Bufan, and opened his Visual Domain to inspect the death-filled Layer.

Ch. 585Beneath the teaching building area's layers

Lin Yi discovered a hidden layer beneath the Campus’s Surface Layer, filled with the remains of dead sculptures, and learned that Architecture might have an occult purpose. When he returned to Teaching Building B, he sensed something was wrong and found a foul stench inside Group B Class 2; his perception revealed a scene that made his heart sink.

  • Lin Yi saw countless incomplete Corpse Sculptures in a hidden layer of the Wooded Belt and found a broken red Streetlamp Pole before returning to the normal Campus Layer.
  • Tian Bufan explained that the sculptures might have sunk into a deeper layer and told Lin Yi to leave them alone, then headed toward Teaching Building A with Kuai Hongji.
  • Lin Yi spotted a dead Head Teacher sculpture entangled in Root Tendrils and worried that something had happened to Head Teacher 040.
  • Lin Yi used Domain Insight to see gray fog and drifting ashes above the teaching building’s fourth floor, then entered Group B Class 2 with Wei Liang.
  • Lin Yi smelled decay in the classroom and sent his perception inside, where he saw something that made his heart sink.

Ch. 586Trouble strikes Head Teacher 040

Lin Yi found Head Teacher 040 unconscious and gravely contaminated in the Teachers' Office, then used his Perception to repair most of her injuries. Head Teacher 040 woke and questioned his abilities as he continued treating her and began absorbing her contamination.

  • Lin Yi noticed Head Teacher 040 was missing from the classroom and found no answer when he knocked on her office door.
  • Lin Yi used his Perception to unlock the office, then discovered Head Teacher 040 unconscious and badly wounded in the small room.
  • Lin Yi compared her condition with the physical data he had recorded earlier and restored her body to about eighty percent.
  • Head Teacher 040 woke, mistook Lin Yi for an enemy, and relaxed after he explained that he was treating her.
  • Lin Yi continued repairing Head Teacher 040 and told her that absorbing contamination might be an authority of the Ashes Apostles.

Ch. 587Suspicion

Lin Yi treated Head Teacher 040 and learned that an unidentified tentacled creature had attacked the campus during the Gray Fog Invasion, prompting him to suspect it was connected to the Burial Body. He revealed what he had discovered in the Cafeteria, leaving Head Teacher 040 stunned by how much he had explored.

  • Lin Yi removed the last trace of contamination from Head Teacher 040, who then described the massive Gray Fog Invasion and the tentacled creature that had attacked the Teaching Building.
  • Head Teacher 040 explained that the Forest of the Dead's Steles and other entities threatened students outside classrooms, while Lin Yi questioned her about the creature's tentacles and whether the Convenience Store Owner had appeared.

  • Lin Yi told Head Teacher 040 that the Convenience Store housed most of the Burial Body, whose root tendrils spread through the Cafeteria and Student Passage and appeared in Meal Window No. 10.
  • Lin Yi said the tentacles resembled the Burial Body's root tendrils, and Head Teacher 040 asked whether he had personally uncovered all the secrets he described.

Ch. 588Will Leap

Lin Yi used a Child Book to leap his will into the Art Building and contact an Art Student who was recording messages. The student sensed Lin Yi and demanded proof that he was human, leaving their exchange unresolved as an Art Teacher called for him.

  • Lin Yi told Head Teacher 040 that the Convenience Store Owner might know about the Cafeteria’s abnormalities but said he still believed the owner supported humanity.
  • Lin Yi told Head Teacher 040 that Jin Jiuyao, Chen Bing, and Chen Xue had been killed by the Forest of the Dead’s Steles, while he had saved Lu Zhao and sent him to the Gymnasium.

  • Lin Yi scanned the Bookshelf Area and found a Child Book carrying a message about heavy casualties at the Art Building.
  • Lin Yi traced the book’s connection to the Art Building and reached an Art Student who was writing messages, but the student demanded proof that Lin Yi was not a lost soul.
  • Lin Yi identified himself as an Experience Student and said Mu Daxian had gone to the Clock Tower to find the Night Watchman, while the Art Teacher called Li Zidan.

Ch. 589The situation in the Art Building

Lin Yi took control of Li Zidan’s body to question the Art Teacher about the Art Building’s attack and its casualties. He learned that the Night Watchman had destroyed the invading tentacles and the Art Students had eliminated the Grinning Angels, then shared what he knew about the Campus before withdrawing.

  • Lin Yi learned from Li Zidan that Mu Daxian had not returned from the Clock Tower, then offered Campus news in exchange for information about the Art Building.
  • When Li Zidan began fading away without answering, Lin Yi forced his way into Li Zidan’s body and took control of him in the Library.
  • Lin Yi convinced the wary Art Teacher of his identity by recounting his visit to the Art Building and the Grinning Angels he had lured away.
  • The Art Teacher told Lin Yi that Grinning Angels and deadly tentacles had entered the Art Building, but the Night Watchman shattered the tentacles and the Art Students wiped out the Angels; no areas had been overrun.
  • Lin Yi confirmed that Bai Fangshuo was well and told the Art Teacher that the Campus had also suffered attacks and casualties, then began withdrawing from Li Zidan’s body.

Ch. 590The Memo Pad Changed Again

Lin Yi learned that the Art Building and Campus had endured a devastating night attack, then discovered that the ruined writing in his Memo Pad seemed to form Admonition when he flipped the pages quickly. He was left wondering how his notes had changed into those strange words.

  • Lin Yi left Li Zidan's body, and Li Zidan told the Art Teacher that Lin Yi had possessed him before and absorbed supernatural power from the lamp.
  • The Art Teacher took the Art Students back to the Art Building, while broken Angel and Demon Sculptures appeared among the columns and murmured about the Black Moon and the Mourners.
  • Lin Yi pictured the Angel and High-Rank Alien Angel attacking the Art Building and Campus, and Night Watchman-02 using the Quantum Giant Bell, Sanctuary, to destroy the invaders inside the Art Building.
  • Lin Yi gave Wei Liang a comic called Bestie Showdown! The Ultimate Challenge! and noticed that Li Huiyuan and the other students had not returned to class.
  • Lin Yi opened his water-damaged Memo Pad and saw that rapidly flipping its pages made the smeared writing resemble mystical runes and Admonition.
  • Wei Liang interrupted Lin Yi as he murmured the strange words, and Lin Yi was left wondering how his notes had turned into Admonition.

Ch. 591Li Huiyuan was injured

Lin Yi discovered that the Broken Sculpture could overwrite his perception without breaking through his resistance, then learned that Li Huiyuan had been injured the previous night. After revealing his power to the Athlete Students, he heard that Boss had brought Li Huiyuan to the School Doctor’s Office and that the circumstances of her injury remained unclear.

  • Lin Yi realized the Broken Sculpture had made him believe he raised his head when he had not, and tested whether casual writing in his Memo Pad would become Mystical Runes.
  • Xu Shunkang returned with the Athlete Students, but Li Huiyuan was absent, prompting Lin Yi to ask what had happened to her.
  • Head Teacher 040 told Xu Shunkang that Lin Yi worked for the Authorities, and Lin Yi demonstrated his golden-flamed eyes to prove his strength.
  • Xu Shunkang explained that Li Huiyuan had suffered injuries the previous night and that Boss had taken her to the School Doctor’s Office.

Ch. 593Taking you to see an "old friend"

Lin Yi helped Tian Bufan gather materials and build two sacrificial Puppets in the Forest of Bones, then learned that Tian Bufan planned to take him to meet an old acquaintance. As Lin Yi projected his will into a Puppet with Tian Bufan, he learned that a dangerous crisis awaited them that night and that their chances of success were slim.
