Lin Yi pursed his lips, "I hope I'm just overthinking..."

Wei Shan said, "You're definitely overthinking. We're just ordinary people. We just need to figure out how to complete the mission, and other things are not our concern."

"Okay." Lin Yi nodded, but in his heart, he wasn't convinced.

For some reason, he felt a certain gloom in his heart, like being wrapped in a layer of translucent gauze, able to see things, yet unable to see them clearly.

Arriving at the notice board, Lin Yi and Wei Shan casually returned the "Dining Hall Rules" to the shelf.

"You guys are finally here?" Wei Liang leaned against the edge of the notice board, gazing at them idly, seemingly having waited for quite some time.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Liangzi." Lin Yi waved his sack, smiling warmly, "We've had a great harvest."

Wei Liang sneered, mocking, "With your big harvest, it seems the flip side of things must be quite miserable."

"Do you want to grab a couple?" Lin Yi asked.

Wei Liang retreated tactfully, gesturing as if to say, "Take it away... take it away..."

Lin Yi smiled, "Looks like Elder Wei has no chance to enjoy this ginseng eggplant." He slung the sack back over his shoulder, "Do you think later we should give some to Young Master Tian and Kuai Kuai? They might not have eaten."

"Don't worry about them," Wei Shan shook his head, "Yin Bi has lots of bad ideas. The tomatoes they find will definitely be higher in quality than ours, so they won't go hungry."

Though Wei Shan was really irked by Kuai Hongji, he still spoke fairly most of the time, honestly like someone who complains about teammates being bad during their growth phase, but directly tanks damage and provides crowd control during a team fight.

Lin Yi and Wei Shan did a quick check of their clothes and, confirming there wasn't any tomato sauce, left the cafeteria area with Wei Liang.

But in reality, after harvesting so many tomatoes, how could they not have gotten any tomato sauce on them?

Tomato sauce indeed got on them, splattering all over.

However, Lin Yi effortlessly absorbed it, converting it all into primordial pollution inside his body, while the remaining bits were expelled.

Without supernatural powers enhancing him, the leftover tomato sauce transformed into white powder-like particles. Lin Yi dusted off his clothes, and those particles fell away.

While leaving the cafeteria area, Lin Yi once again activated "Field of View Insight" to observe the view beneath the layers. He gazed at the chef sculptures occupying almost his entire view, scrutinizing their details, sensing the faint aura of grey ash remnants floating around them, attempting to piece together some of the cafeteria area's secrets.

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out how these grey ash remnants visible in the layers of the upper floors of the teaching building had settled onto the chef sculptures.

Could it be these chefs reached the upper floors of the teaching building, died there, and returned to the cafeteria area in the form of sculptures?

It's too unreasonable, and the logic doesn't make sense at all.

And the most uncertain thing is that Lin Yi can't distinguish what kind of apron the chefs are wearing.

Or, the proportion.

The proportion of people potentially helps him analyze the situation at that time.

He strained to recall quickly, suddenly thinking about seeing feather sculpture fragments near the cafeteria earlier.

That was the petrified piece of the Sneering Angel's wings, where the most important feathers in the Sneering Angel's wings can form Yu Tong, and the rest can become a cluster of grape-like strings of big eyeballs, but can also petrify in the form of feathers.

"Could it be... the 'Primordial Ash Apostle' visited the cafeteria area, causing the ash remnants to settle on the chef sculptures?"

"Did this happen last night?"

The school building area did not feature the Convenience Store Owner, but fleetingly showed the silhouette of the "Primordial Ash Apostle."

Could it be the Convenience Store Owner made a move and Class Teacher-040 didn't see due to power limitations?

Lin Yi was also very curious about the movements of the "Primordial Ash Apostle."

According to previous experiences, the "Primordial Ash Apostle" roams the school area almost every night.

"By the way, Boss left the gymnasium yesterday. Perhaps I can ask her about it this afternoon..."

Boss might know some things, and if the "Primordial Ash Apostle" didn't appear in the gymnasium area, then it truly might have reached the cafeteria area, causing numerous chef deaths and leaving so much ash residue.

There's actually another crucial issue now, which is whether the Convenience Store Owner has obtained information about the "Principal" like he did, and what the Convenience Store Owner's attitude toward the "Primordial Ash Apostle" is.

"Hoo..." Lin Yi exhaled deeply.

Convenience Store Owner, "Burial Body," "Primordial Ash Apostle"...

Lin Yi suddenly realized that in the current school area where the "Principal" had disappeared, the Convenience Store Owner seemed to become the central figure in this mystery, and his position in the whole environment determines the direction of this, and even recent, significant grey mist invasion events.

If the Convenience Store Owner harbors treachery, won't the entire school area explode directly?!

Lin Yi felt a chill down his spine.

He found that the official-side "Principal" disappeared, leaving the second strongest in the school area, the "Convenience Store Owner," without supervision...

A sort of "Convenience Store Owner conspiracy theory" quietly took root in his heart, quickly sprouting and growing...
