Chapter 610 If you really can't hold on any longer, you can call me.
"Then you discovered that Li Huiyuan had actually started layer jumps, so you brought her back?"

“Yes,” the old man said. “Moreover, given the depth of her contamination, it’s impossible for her to complete the layer transition by herself, yet she is doing it… I feel like she’s being controlled by some invisible force.”

"If it really was your future self interfering with last night through the boundaries of dreams, then you should have appeared directly beside Huihuizi, instead of calling for her in the art building..."

"So I've never been able to understand the logic behind this."

Lin Yi was also confused.

The matter was already complicated, but Li Huiyuan and the boss had conflicting accounts. What's even more absurd is that this matter involved the "boundaries of dreams" and "time," making it beyond his current mental capacity to understand.

No wonder, he felt the logic here was strange.

"It seems we'll have to wait until later to find out." Lin Yi sighed softly.

He started praying, "Please, please, please don't let what happened last night be related to their plans!"

Please, please don't!

Otherwise, the whole timeline would be even more complicated.

Before the plan could even be implemented, a complex vortex had already appeared before him.

This is too uncomfortable.

"Soak a little longer, it'll be about time," the eldest brother said slowly. "You should leave now."

Lin Yi pursed his lips and nodded.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Boss..."

"Just say what you have to say, why are you being so coy?" the eldest brother replied coolly.

"I'm not going back to the dorm tonight," Lin Yi said.

“Studying in the classroom is not a good thing for you.”

"I won't stay in the classroom either..."

"So you want to stay here? Fight alongside us... that's not a bad idea." The leader seemed thoughtful.

Lin Yi quickly said, "Boss, I might have to stay on campus tonight... outdoors."

The boss guessed three options, but none of them were correct. He dared not play along with the boss any longer. After all, if he really angered the boss, he would have to explain himself to the boss's feet.

He confessed because Wei Liang was going to spend the night at the gymnasium.

If Wei Liang stays here, he'll definitely tell the boss about his plans, so he might as well tell him himself.

"Nonsense! Staying out all night on campus? Are you looking for death?" The eldest sister was immediately furious, but when she saw Lin Yi's serious and earnest expression, she suddenly paused and realized that it was Lin Yi who had made this decision!
"What are your specific plans?" she asked quickly, gathering her thoughts. But as soon as she spoke, she suddenly realized something. "Wait a minute, didn't you say you were going to the principal's office tonight?"

The eldest brother realized that Lin Yi's words were contradictory!

The principal's office is located at the observatory tonight, but Lin Yi is staying in the open-air campus, so there's a conflict in terms of location!

Lin Yi didn't intend to hide it. The boss was special. Although they didn't have much contact, he was the person Lin Yi trusted most on campus besides his own group.

"Could it be the boundary of the dream realm?" Before Lin Yi could even speak, the leader had already deduced Lin Yi and his group's plan.

Lin Yi was surprised for a moment, then confirmed, "That's right, we acted together."

The eldest brother was genuinely surprised at this moment: "If I understand correctly, are there a few others like you?"

“Yes!” Lin Yi almost misspoke. “We are a gang, ptooey, a team. One of us has already arrived at the art building. Tonight, I will infiltrate my will into the dream boundary.”

"Then you don't need to stay on campus, right?" the eldest brother asked, puzzled.

Lin Yixin said, "I don't know why I have to stay on campus to provide support, but Young Master Tian must have a plan for this: 'According to the plan, I need to stay on campus... to face the crisis directly.'"

"Face it head-on..." The eldest sister frowned slightly, still somewhat unable to understand Lin Yi and the others' actions, but she had noticed Lin Yi's improvement. "Then take care of yourself. If... I mean, if."

The eldest brother gritted his teeth: "If you really can't hold on any longer, you can call me."

"what?"

"What do you mean, 'huh'?" The leader suddenly reached out fiercely and shoved Lin Yi into the water.

Lin Yi struggled for a few moments, then gave up resisting and soon emerged from the water, looking aggrieved.

"Okay, boss, I'll call you for help if I can't hold on any longer."

"Hmm." The leader nodded. "However, I might not be able to come and save you."

"I know you're very busy at night!" Lin Yi said with a wry smile.

After the principal left to go to sea, the eldest son had to oversee both the gymnasium and the arts building, almost like a robot with unlimited energy.

The key point is that unlike a physical education teacher, she doesn't "go into hibernation"; she's almost always present in the gymnasium.

Come to think of it, he didn't seem to have heard anything about the boss taking a break...

Training during the day, rushing to provide support at night...

Does the eldest brother really not need to rest?

"What kind of wicked ideas are you having now?" the boss asked.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Boss, what time do you usually go to sleep?"

The eldest brother looked at him with a strange expression: "What do you mean?"

"Uh, I mean... don't you need to rest?" Lin Yi asked.

The eldest brother was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

"Rest? I don't need to rest. Rest is for 'recovery,' but we absorb the primal pollution enough to keep ourselves in peak condition, don't we?"

"It seems so..." Lin Yi looked enlightened.

"It's almost time." The eldest brother glanced at the clock on the wall, then called Li Huiyuan ashore, "Huihui, training is over, come back."

"Go take a bath, give me your kerosene lamp, and then you can leave." The eldest brother said calmly, then pulled his legs out of the water and stood up.

Lin Yi also climbed out of the swimming pool, using the non-slip floor mats as support.

"By the way, boss, you've seen the shower room in the gymnastics hall, what's going on there?" Mentioning the shower reminded him that he had almost forgotten to ask his boss about this.

The boss's lips curled into a meaningful smile: "Perhaps it was a gift from a friend... those things are from the green bib chef who has been lurking in the stadium all along."

"They're like cockroaches, impossible to eradicate completely. They have little impact on second-tier physical education students, but a huge impact on newcomers. Recently, the gray fog has invaded, and I haven't had time to clean it up. I didn't expect that someone would take care of it... Was it one of you who did it?"

"It shouldn't be...?" Lin Yi thought for a moment, his roommates' faces flashing before his eyes, but none of them matched up. "Wait a minute... Could it be Liangzi? Either it wasn't one of our people who did it, or if it was, then it could only be Liangzi!" "Liangzi? That guy named Wei Liang?" the leader asked.

"That's right, boss, you can't underestimate him. Theoretically speaking, he's the strongest among us!" Lin Yi said with an extremely serious expression.

Young Master Tian said that Wei Liang would save him once regardless of any predicament. This mechanism, which symbolizes concepts and causality, is theoretically invincible.

So he wasn't wrong.

Of course, if Wei Liang heard Lin Yi's imagined interpretation of him, he would definitely give him the middle finger and say: "Thank you so much, Lin."

The eldest sister frowned slightly. Lin Yi's mention of Wei Liang reminded her of him. For some reason, Wei Liang was not only unremarkable in her memory, but she could also describe him as having no impression at all. His existence was as if he were invisible.

But ever since she ventured into the art building, her memories seemed to have been filled with strange things, which made her realize something was wrong when Lin Yi mentioned Wei Liang again.

Wei Liang seemed to have deliberately made himself "invisible," relegating himself to the fringes of the vortex. Yet now, she vaguely felt a strange, inexplicable impression of him...

"Is this really your first time at the campus?" the leader asked again.

“Yes, that’s absolutely true,” Lin Yi said, then he suddenly thought of Wei Liang, “Oh right, besides Liangzi, this is his second time entering the school. He came last time too.”

"Is this his second time enrolling?" the eldest brother asked, puzzled. "Then how come I've never seen him before?"

"Really?" Lin Yi asked in surprise. "Liangzi also said that when he came here last time, a PE teacher made him swim in the water for a full hour!"

Upon hearing this, the boss's brows furrowed immediately.

When Wei Liang came to class, he did act like he was friendly with everyone, but it seemed like no one in the entire gymnasium remembered him...

There's something fishy!

There's something fishy going on!

Seeing that his boss's expression was off, Lin Yi quickly asked, "Boss, is there a problem?"

The leader said, "Perhaps. I think I need to look for this guy named Wei Liang again."

Lin Yi leaned back tactically: "Liangzi said he's spending tonight at the gym. Boss, you could actually talk to him... But boss, I have to remind you, Liangzi has his own methods. Don't force him to recall things he claims he 'can't remember'."

"I know what I'm doing." The leader's tone suddenly turned cold.

Lin Yi panicked a little, a strong sense of unease rising in his heart. Oh no, did I accidentally give myself away?

Before I leave, I must give Wei Liang a good talking-to—a heads-up! If I give him a heads-up, does that mean I'm not actually a double agent?
Spicy balls!

Spicy balls!!
I'm caught in the middle!

Lin Yi walked into the changing room dejectedly.

Some of the physical education students in the locker room nodded at Lin Yi in a friendly manner when they saw him.

This action left Lin Yi completely bewildered.

He didn't actually know that the eldest brother had used him as a tea bag to soak in the swimming pool water, which greatly increased the purity of the original pollution in the water, instantly benefiting many sports students.

Therefore, it was these sports students who enjoyed the benefits who nodded in acknowledgment to him.

He took a good shower and, while showering, took a good look at his current physical body. He then discovered that his flesh and blood had undergone some qualitative changes with the breakthrough of his Glazed Body.

Like in a fantasy novel, his body, although it still looks like flesh and blood, has long since transcended that category and become a kind of extraordinary substance like ash crystals.

If a body like that were to land a punch on a raging angel, it would probably leave it with pieces on one side and pieces on the other.

After briefly examining his body, he left the bathing area and changed his clothes.

The whole process went incredibly smoothly, without the slightest abnormality, making Lin Yi feel as if he had just finished swimming in a normal swimming pool.

By the time he arrived at the entrance of the swimming pool, it was already 17:23 PM.

In half an hour, the campus lights will be on.

Lin Yi looked around and found that his boss and Li Huiyuan had not yet appeared, but Wei Shan was already waiting on the side.

When he looked at Wei Shan, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

Due to that magical bond, he even discovered that Wei Shan's physique was also undergoing that strange change, ascending to the form of a crystal body.

"Old Lin, it's over."

"Um, Weisan, could you give me the kerosene lamp?"

Lin Yi asked for the old kerosene lamp as soon as they met, but Wei Shan didn't think there was anything wrong with it and simply took the old kerosene lamp out of his backpack.

Originally, the physical education students on the first floor of the gymnasium didn't find it strange that Wei Shan was waiting for someone there. But when Wei Shan calmly took out an old kerosene lamp from his bag, their jaws dropped.

They all cast surprised glances at Wei Shan.

"Damn... he stole the light!" a junior physical education student couldn't help but exclaim.

But before he could even speak, a veteran PE student punched him on the head: "Don't yell! Damn, that's Lin Yi!"

"What supernatural or suspenseful stuff? What are you talking about, bro?" The novice physical education student was confused, but still lowered his voice.

"It's nothing, just ignore it." The veteran PE student muttered to himself, thinking to himself, you didn't see that Lin Yi, he's not human at all. Even after being kicked into the mud by the boss, he can still recover. If it were you or me, our ashes would have flown away. And the boss still tells us to learn from him.

"Well, just take a look... let's not meddle in their business."

"Ah! Cock-a-doodle-doo! Cock-a-doodle-doo!" The novice physical education student suddenly started squawking like a chicken.

On the other side, Lin Yi took the old kerosene lamp, played with it in his hand for a while, and then, as the boss had said, tried to condense the original pollution into a higher purity of extraordinary power, and slowly injected it into the lampshade.

At the same time, he also curiously observed the changes in the old kerosene lamp.

Unfortunately, apart from producing a fleeting glimmer of light like a fart, the old kerosene lamp didn't seem to show much change.

Lin Yi sighed helplessly. It seemed that charging was indeed a labor-intensive task. He decided to just replace the lamp.

"The boss said she'd replace this lamp with one that's already lit," Lin Yi explained to Wei Shan.

"Okay." Wei Shan didn't question Lin Yi at all and nodded sheepishly.

Soon, the eldest brother, who had changed back into his normal clothes, and Li Huiyuan came out together.

Lin Yi quickly got up, carrying an old kerosene lamp, and went to greet him.

The eldest brother took the old kerosene lamp, glanced at it, and then said directly, "This lamp of yours is no good."
