Chapter 1448: Chapter 688: Scheming Without Pretending to Be Yang

"What did the principal transmit to you when he returned? Did he reveal anything about the ’time’ he was in? Besides that, what else did he say to you?"

The convenience store owner looked at him with an odd expression, then smiled bitterly with helplessness: "You really overestimate me. What’s his status, and what’s mine? Would he travel across time just to have a chat with me?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"What he talked about had almost nothing to do with me... He kept calling for someone named ’01’; I think that should be someone in your ’Time Council’, or maybe a code."

The convenience store owner then generally described the content of the principal’s calls, and this information was almost identical to the deciphered content Lin Yi had recently obtained from the Primordial Ash Apostle.

After some exchange, it seemed that not much information related to the principal, especially regarding ’time’, was obtained from the convenience store owner’s mouth.

Tian Bufan spoke: "’Time’ is an important anchor point. After the principal became an Ash Apostle, to a certain extent, it was like being exiled into the time dimension as a meteorological balloon by the Fog Language Master. If he did make a discovery, he would certainly be found by the Fog Language Master. Moreover, at higher levels of time and dimension, the ’Angels’ have long been watching like hungry tigers."

"So, even if he knows, he wouldn’t convey it in the form of an Ash Apostle."

Compared to the Fog Language Master, the threat from the ’Angels’ is the terrifying presence that spans ancient to present times.

Kuai Hongji listened, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his cold face: "It turns out I didn’t think it through."

The convenience store owner’s eyes had an unnoticed flash of surprise. He could actually see embarrassment on the face of a member of the ’Time Council’?!

The names and shadows of people, the ’Time Council’ is notoriously radiant in history, and in the eyes of countless people, it seems like unattainable gods, overlooking the ’timeline’ that even transcendent beings cannot reach.

But now, mortals seem to have fallen into the earth. Could it be that the members of the ’Time Council’ are just a bunch of flesh-and-blood people?

Thoughts surged, pondering again and again, then said: "Besides those calls, the principal seemed to mention something about ’head-seven’; what does he mean by this?"

"’Head-seven’?" Lin Yi paused for a moment, "Isn’t that the seventh day after a person’s death?"

Head-seven is a traditional burial custom in Huaxia, and also the first day of mourning. This custom is integrated with the Buddhist concept of reincarnation and rebirth, carrying many meanings.

The convenience store owner said: "I know that too, but what does it mean? Is there any implication or metaphor? Is he going to die?"

Tian Bufan glanced at him.

If the principal dies, then the convenience store owner could take his place.

That is exactly what he has been dreaming of.

"The principal won’t die." Tian Bufan said calmly, "Try another guess."

The convenience store owner smiled politely but remained silent.

Lin Yi speculated: "Could it be some kind of specific reference? If it’s ’7’... in the campus, the only things related to this number seem to be layers... could it be the layers?"

"Teaching Building, Dormitory Building... or?"

He looked at Tian Bufan.

Tian Bufan slightly shook his head: "Since that’s the case, we will talk about this later. Is there any other information?"

The convenience store owner slightly shook his head: "That’s all."

"If there’s nothing else, then it’s my turn to handle the ’Burial Body’!" Mao Feiyang had been waiting for this moment for a long time, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing a somewhat arrogant smile.

Tian Bufan glanced at him, nodding silently: "Remember what to do, Old Lin, keep an eye on him, Wei Sang, you also keep an eye on him, don’t let him get out of line. Kuai Kuai and I will chat with the boss again."

"Okay." Wei Shan responded, then followed Mao Feiyang towards the ’Burial Body’ region.

The convenience store owner looked at them, remained silent, and did not stop them.

The convenience store was where the ’Burial Body’ was housed, he naturally wouldn’t obstruct.

...

Mao Feiyang walked between the shelves, spreading his hands helplessly: "Honestly, Old Lin just keeping an eye on me is enough, Wei Sang, there’s no need for you to keep an eye on me."

"And although my hands are itching, overall I still care about the big picture, and will certainly not act recklessly..."

"Hey Old Lin, why don’t you say a few words for me?"

Lin Yi remained silent, only surveying the surrounding environment.

Wei Shan chuckled: "I’m just following Young Master Tian’s arrangement, just pretend I’m not here."

Mao Feiyang curled his lips: "Alright, alright."

The group soon reached a certain shelf area, turning corners until they arrived at a dim region.

Looking deeper from here, the dome-like arched passage had disappeared, and above was an abyss of deep black space, below was a mountain of rotting flesh composing the ’Burial Body’.

"Is this the ’Burial Body’?" Lin Yi opened his Golden Eyes, sweeping over the ’Burial Body’, "It really is a small part of the ’High-level Alien Angel’."

The ’Burial Body’ seemed like a pencil trapped on the sheet of the convenience store, but its lead extended from the barrel, sketching a very faint dashed line, penetrating several layers until connecting to the layers of the Art Building.

Simply put, it’s like a piece of chewing gum stuck between the door panels, its main body is actually the ’High-level Alien Angel’ within the art building layers, after being pinched by the door, the ’dead meat’ on the real-world campus evolved into the current ’Burial Body’.

And related to the ’Burial Body’ is the ’Graveyard of the Deceased’.

"They’re from the same source..." Wei Shan chuckled, but his eyes revealed a sharp light, like a butcher seasoned in a pig farm, "The thought of deboning and stripping its flesh makes my hands itch."

Mao Feiyang’s mouth twitched fiercely, quickly restraining Wei Shan: "Don’t, absolutely don’t! Don’t let your hands itch either, just watch me perform, when I’ve handled it well, you all can help me sever its link with the main body."

Though he cherished this hard-earned opportunity, Maozi wanted to show off, but when it came to serious moments, he still demonstrated the necessary professionalism.

After all, as long as you have the strength, even if you’re the Silver Back Clan Leader, others will respectfully call you James.

"Alright." Lin Yi nodded.

Mao Feiyang then approached the ’Burial Body’.

The enormous flesh mountain slowly heaved in the dark, emitting a repulsive stench.

It seemed to be asleep, completely unaware of Mao Feiyang’s approach.

But, really?

Just as Mao Feiyang approached it, slices of flesh with the sound of raging winds stabbed out from the dark, like a rainstorm of swords engulfing Mao Feiyang.

Mao Feiyang lightly raised his arm, countless attacks suddenly froze, as if absorbed into a flat surface.

[Space Imprisonment?!] The flesh mountain squirmed, and countless mouths opened simultaneously, emitting unpleasant compound sound waves.

"Shh—speak less, don’t blame."

Mao Feiyang whispered, pressing his palms together, slowly drawing them apart.

"Buzz——!"

Suddenly, the space around him slightly trembled, and a dark green long spear entwined with lightning was slowly pulled forth as if by magic.

"Today, the only thing I want from you is to borrow something."

[Hahaha...] The Burial Body laughed loudly, [Every villain says that when trying to seize something, isn’t it just about wanting to kill me? Try if you dare!]

A terrifying wave erupted from the ’Burial Body’, with a "boom", the nearby bookshelves were slightly moved.

The convenience store space began to distort, and ’Burial Body’ unhesitatingly launched an attack on Mao Feiyang from its shallow layer."
