Chapter 1191: Chapter 562: Heading to the Cafeteria
Wei Liang chuckled as soon as he heard this, cheekily saying, “Handsome guys always get extra attention, has that girl taken a fancy to us?”
“It’s those guys.” Lin Yi rolled his eyes, “What, are you really into Little Zhouzi?”
“Oh, come on!” Wei Liang’s memory was instantly attacked by the mention of Little Zhouzi, his expression suddenly stiffened, “That’s hitting where it hurts! I’m not sparring with Little Zhouzi anymore, I’m with Xia Lian now, okay? Don’t say nonsense!”
As he said this, Wei Liang hesitated and lowered his head.
Tian Bufan, knowing Lin Yi’s perception was amazing now, asked, “What else did they say?”
“They said you are authoritative and called Wei Shan naive.”
Wei Shan chuckled naively and said nothing.
Lin Yi looked at Kuai Hongji and said, “They said you’re a really nice person.”
“Pfft… Hahaha…” Wei Shan burst into laughter, “They were saying serious things before, but I can’t hold it in here!”
He pointed at Kuai Hongji’s sinister face and mocked, “Their eyes are truly blind, putting Yin Bi and a good person together is something I can never associate, haha…”
Kuai Hongji’s expression was somber, but he didn’t deny it, explaining, “I called them over because I saw they had some skills. I wanted them to attract some Pseudo-Humans to relieve our pressure, but they misunderstood.”
Lin Yi knew that Kuai Hongji couldn’t be that kind, after all, he saw Kuai Hongji frantically pressing the elevator door close button.
But I have to say, Kuai Hongji’s demeanor of accepting Su Yao’s gratitude was really shameless, maybe he learned it from Maozi.
“By the way, should we go to the cafeteria now?” Lin Yi glanced down at his watch.
6:48.
The cafeteria is open until 8:00 AM, so theoretically, there’s plenty of time.
Tian Bufan retorted, “Why are you asking that? Isn’t eating breakfast something we should do every day?”
“Do you think it’s unnecessary to eat breakfast now?”
“Or do you think during a Grey Mist Invasion, we should seize the opportunity to do more things?”
“Uh…” Lin Yi was momentarily speechless after being lectured by Tian Bufan. His mouth pursed as he said, a bit aggrieved, “I just mentioned it casually, how was I to know you would go on so much… Well, let’s go eat then.”
“I’m worried you might get carried away after waking up.” Tian Bufan’s brows furrowed slightly, as if he had discovered something, his words full of warning.
Lin Yi was slightly stunned by those words. He actually knew that visiting the cafeteria now meant eating was secondary, and more importantly, it was a den for the chefs. Whether it was the Blue-aproned Chef, Chef in the green apron, or the Black-aproned Chef, it was a mixed area, and going there could indeed gather a lot of information.
But since “waking up” was mentioned, Lin Yi hurriedly snapped his fingers and said, “Oh right, Young Master Tian, I successfully infiltrated the Dream Boundary, and then Maozi decided to go to the bedroom.”
“It seems the ‘Principal’s Office’ isn’t in that bedroom.” Tian Bufan smiled, his mysterious aura giving off an impression as if he had foreseen everything.
Lin Yi looked into Tian Bufan’s eyes: “Did you guys already know… that the Principal’s Office isn’t over there?”
Tian Bufan looked back at him: “Why would you ask that? Isn’t this the temporal logic pattern we’ve already discussed?”
“No matter how Maozi chooses, from today’s time perspective, it’s absolutely a failure, otherwise, it would create a Time Paradox.”
Lin Yi stared into Tian Bufan’s eyes. The other’s attitude was sincere, and the reasoning was solid, seemingly just as he said.
Yet, a few nights ago, Tian Bufan had pretended to know nothing while seriously discussing many things with him!
Some of the detailed explanations by Tian Bufan, he didn’t quite buy.
Lin Yi continued, “I’m curious, just one thing, why didn’t you tell me?”
“Which point?”
“I got the ‘final payment’ from Night Watchman-02, and the deposit was taken by Maozi. This should be part of the plan, right? Why didn’t you say anything last night? Were you afraid of something?”
At this, Tian Bufan’s steps slightly halted.
“You still haven’t figured out such a simple issue.”
Lin Yi was taken aback. Was he supposed to have figured it out?
Tian Bufan, seeing this, explained: “Firstly, I indeed can’t tell you, because once you’re ‘aware’, you’ll intentionally lead Maozi to the Bell Tower. Infiltrating the Dream Boundary is inherently dangerous, and having a single-minded focus helps both you and ‘Time’ remain stable.”
“As long as you guide Maozi, Maozi will know the timing is right, and without you telling him, he’ll go find the Night Watchman to get the deposit.”
“And you, you’ll get an answer.”
“I’m not telling you to avoid a potential Temporal Loop Paradox.”
“Even Maozi cannot be told?” Lin Yi pondered.
Tian Bufan shook his head: “No.”
“Moreover, remember what I say from now on. Whenever you infiltrate the Dream Boundary, you must fixate on your goal, absolutely never revealing any intentions that differ from your core objective, to prevent unnecessary temporal confusion.”
“It’s not just Maozi… At certain times, you can’t reveal everything to us, understood?”
Tian Bufan’s sudden seriousness made Lin Yi’s heart shudder, and he couldn’t help but say, “Young Master Tian, with this demeanor, you suddenly seem like someone who’s infiltrated the Dream Boundary from the future, guiding me step by step to clear the challenges… Hiss—”
