On the other side, Lin Yi walked beside the mountain road lined with camphor trees, and after turning several corners, he arrived right in front of the Staff Passage.

"Alright, stop here, no need to throw anything else," Tian Bufan grabbed Lin Yi's shoulder, signaling him not to go any further, "The Staff Passage certainly has something off about it, just coming here makes me feel uncomfortable."

Lin Yi wholeheartedly agreed, "I feel it too, not sure what's in the basement of the Cafeteria, but I always sense a terrifying energy emanating from the Staff Passage."

"You can actually have this 'Perception'?" Tian Bufan teased with a laugh, "It's said that some animals can instinctively sense dangerous energies and avoid imminent crises beforehand, looks like you're almost on par with them."

Lin Yi helplessly curled his lips, "I'm serious."

"I'm serious too," Tian Bufan said, his gaze falling on Wei Shan as his smile slowly disappeared, "Seems like something is really off."

Wei Shan, who was up ahead, quickly walked to a trash can, but all of a sudden, he stopped moving, as if something had captivated him.

He had been ready to discard his coat, but at that moment, he stood frozen like a statue, from their perspective, it was as if he was about to throw something away when suddenly someone pressed his acupoint.

A sense of alarm flashed through Lin Yi's mind; he was someone who had been through it all and instantly understood the predicament Wei Shan was encountering—this situation was exactly like the one he had faced yesterday at noon!

"Not good, Wei Shan isn't not throwing it, but rather, he can't let it go! I'm going to help him!"

"Old Lin!" Tian Bufan tried to call him back, but Lin Yi was already dashing over.

"Don't worry, I've got experience now!" Lin Yi's voice came from ahead, "You stay back for now."

"You stay back too!" At that moment, Wei Shan suddenly let out a roar, nearly causing Lin Yi to stumble, almost retreating on the spot.

Lin Yi forced himself to a halt and then noticed Wei Shan's situation was completely different from what he had anticipated.

Indeed, Wei Shan kept his motionless pose, but his body was trembling slightly. However, that trembling wasn't out of fear, but... excitement.

"Huh huh huh..." Wei Shan's somewhat plump body bent slightly, all his muscles tensed up as he stared intently at the deepest part of the Staff Passage where almost no light could be seen, his eyes sparkling with an unusual shade of excitement.

The corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards, revealing a chilling grin.

Veins popped out on his forehead, his breathing grew heavier, and he made a "huh huh huh" sound, but between his teeth, he kept murmuring the same words:

"Interesting, very interesting indeed..."

"Heh heh heh..."

Watching Wei Shan's expression, Lin Yi suddenly felt shocked; in a trance, he seemed to see a series of white streams circling around Wei Shan, forming a vortex as if it were moving mist centered on Wei Shan!

He blinked hard, then realized that the white streams were flickering in and out of sight, appearing one moment and gone the next.

"Is it 'Perception'?!"

He realized it wasn't something he was seeing, but rather an image that had appeared in his "Perception."

He then took a deep breath and, while Wei Shan remained inactive, tried to sense the white streams surrounding him.

Subsequently, he "observed" the white streams through "Perception."

It turned out they weren't white streams at all but rather a thick cloud of white powder particles!

Just like Mao Feiyang had absorbed white powder particles in the Art Classroom during his Artistic Journey, at this very moment, Wei Shan was also absorbing the white powder particles in a horrifying manner.

What was more bizarre was that the white powder particles swirling around Wei Shan seemed to flutter with his breath, conjuring a surreal, faint sky-blue hue...

"What the...?!"

Even more inconceivable, in a daze, Lin Yi saw a blurry outline amidst the alternating flashes of blue and white colors. It was an outline that shrouded Wei Shan like a Dharma Form from Huaxia legends, its tower-like lines making it seem like a Security Guard cutting through the fog.

"The shadow of a Security Guard...?"

"What kind of joke is this?!"

Under Lin Yi's astonished gaze, Wei Shan let out a low, excited laugh and took steps toward the trash can, then reached out and placed his coat right above the bin.

As soon as he let go, the coat naturally fell into the trash can. He then coolly turned around and walked away from the Staff Passage with a swagger, returning to Lin Yi with a demeanor that said a real man never looks back at an explosion.

"Let's go, Old Lin."

Wei Shan patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, calling him back from his state of shock.

"Huh..."

A breeze brushed through the tops of the camphor trees, their leaves rustling, carrying with it the morning's fresh scent of flowers and the earthy smell of the mountains, snapping Lin Yi out of it.

"Ah... um? Uh... okay," Lin Yi responded dumbly, nodding his head and shaking it off, then looked back at Wei Shan before returning the same way they came, back to the notice board in front of the Cafeteria.

But on the way back, no matter how hard he tried to "induce," he could no longer observe the white powder particles from Wei Shan, let alone the ones with a faint sky-blue luster.
