Chapter 1190: Chapter 561: Targeted Again_2
Kuai Hongji silently switched the output target to the door open button.
Coincidentally, a few Experience Students entered the elevator, catching sight of Kuai Hongji helping them by pressing the door open button with a grateful look in their eyes, saying: “Thank you, student, thank you, thank you…”
After being thanked like this, Kuai Hongji nodded his head without any change in expression.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but let out a breath between his teeth.
Kuai Kuai is Kuai Kuai… can’t learn, can’t learn.
He shifted his focus onto these Experience Students.
Given yesterday’s situation, those who could return to the Dormitory building from the Teaching Building to sleep definitely weren’t ordinary people.
This much could be seen, as these Experience Students remained calm when facing the Pseudo-Humans.
After they entered the elevator, the last person casually pressed the door close button and habitually cast a grateful glance at Kuai Hongji.
Kuai Hongji accepted it all without hesitation.
“Creak… Bang!”
The elevator doors quickly closed, and the sense of security brought by the enclosed environment immediately enveloped them.
Even Wei Shan seemed not to show much sign of claustrophobic symptoms.
“…”
The group in the elevator stayed in small groups on either side, feeling the tremors from the elevator’s operation, and words were left unspoken among them.
Lin Yi leaned against the elevator’s box, holding the handrail with both hands, quietly observing them.
The team comprised five people, surprisingly similar to their own in number.
But what surprised Lin Yi was that up until now, he only realized that there existed a girl among them.
The reason he didn’t notice earlier was firstly because he wasn’t paying attention, and secondly because from her appearance, Lin Yi couldn’t discern any gender characteristic of the person.
The overall feeling about this girl was very androgynous; she had ear-length short hair, looking very fresh and neat at first glance, with a rather sharp facial contour. Her eyebrows slanted like a swordsman disguised as a man, exuding a charming aura.
However, cohabiting with four men made him feel strange at first, but then he thought it was normal since those who came to S City University were not all for tourism; a team should reside together, and separating would rather be a dangerous thing.
The other four men were also of a robust and hard-man type, each with a figure taller than the average human height, with distinct features that gave a handsome and reliable impression.
Although they initially behaved very politely, the muscle lines under their school uniforms seemed to express more politely: If the benefactor doesn’t understand Mahayana Buddhism, this humble monk somewhat understands fists and feet.
Lin Yi suspected that if it weren’t for special circumstances, these four people might have forcibly cleared the way, rushing to the elevator.
Don’t forget what kind of situation was there last night; those who could return to the Dormitory under such adverse weather, were definitely not without capabilities.
“Huff… Huff…”
The elevator kept running, and the wind in the passage kept rubbing against the elevator’s exterior until it reached the first floor without pause.
It was clear that almost no one returned to the dormitory last night, so the elevator descended as if it were expelling waste.
After running for about a minute, the elevator began to decelerate until it came to a complete stop.
With a “Ding!”, the floor display jumped to the number:
“1”.
“Arrived…” Lin Yi glanced at the floor display; each time he rode the elevator, it could be described as thrilling yet safe.
Then, the elevator trembled slightly.
“Creak… Bang!”
The elevator doors opened, and the fresh air mixed with soil and grass aroma followed, intruding the noses of everyone.
Those Experience Students all looked at Lin Yi and his group, seemingly waiting for them to move first.
Tian Bufan wasted no time and directly led the way out of the elevator.
Lin Yi and his companions quickly followed.
Only after Lin Yi and his five people left the elevator did the Experience Students walk out lastly.
Watching the backs of Lin Yi and his companions, the seemingly leading figure among the five couldn’t help but let out a breath and asked: “What are everyone’s thoughts on those people just now?”
“Very, and extremely dangerous,” the second person calmly evaluated.
“Which one specifically?”
“All of them, especially… the one who kept looking at us.” He referred to Lin Yi.
Since boarding the elevator, Lin Yi had been watching them, observing till the elevator stopped at the first floor.
“That person is a ‘Dream Builder’,” the girl spoke, “I only felt that kind of pressure from the Teacher…”
“‘Dream Builder’?!” The captain’s resolute face showed a hint of astonishment, “Are you sure? The alliance records less than a hundred Dream Builders, there cannot be such a young Dream Builder! Su Yao, are you sure you haven’t made a mistake?”
“No, he definitely is,” the girl called “Su Yao” shook her head with a heavy face, “Absolutely no mistake.”
“It’s normal you can’t sense it; only those who have generated ‘cognition’ in Dream Studies can vaguely sense the presence of a Dream Builder.”
“The Teacher has that kind of breath, but even the field the Teacher emits with full strength pales compared to the aura the man emanates with every gesture!”
“I simply dare not stare at him…”
“The more the cognition, the less I dare to perceive… I’m afraid that once I look at him, I will subconsciously be attracted to him, and then plunge into endless pursuit of him.”
“The ten Cautions have long warned, ‘Those Who Chase the Light Through the Fog End Up as Phantoms’…”
The captain was surprised: “That serious?”
Su Yao solemnly nodded: “Dream Studies is like this, unless you establish sufficient cognition, once attracted, it’s like being pulled by a black hole, falling into a place of absolute doom.”
“What about the other people?” the captain asked, “Any feelings?”
“No…” Su Yao pursed her lips, “The chubby one seems honest; the tall slim one even helped us with the elevator, seems cordial; the one even bigger than the captain, feels intimidating, has a sort of unspoken authority…”
She didn’t mention Wei Liang, not sure if she overlooked or felt there’s nothing worth mentioning.
The captain looked at the others: “How about you? Any thoughts?”
One person somewhat helplessly said: “Captain, now’s not time for a morning meeting… should we talk as we walk? Want to guess if they’re headed to the Cafeteria?”
Upon hearing this, the captain carefully observed the direction Lin Yi and his group were going: “Whether or not they are, it’s irrelevant to us, but if you all have no opinions, I’ll remind you.”
“That group of people is one I felt immediately had big issues.” The captain said, “‘God’s Domain’ dispatched an elite team yesterday, led by someone quite dangerous named Lu Zhao, and I suspect they are that group.”
“I think, only the elites of ‘God’s Domain’ have the capability to brave the abnormal weather and return to the Dormitory building.”
Su Yao was slightly surprised, then thoughtfully nodded: “Possibly… Intelligence indicated there’s a ‘Paradoxical Twins’ among them, seems matching up…”
The person beside then said: “Well then, one sentence, do we monitor or not?”
“Monitor!” the captain said, “Must monitor, but discreetly, so I’ll deploy you guys first, wait for them to move farther before we stealthily follow…”
The five people were intensely discussing in front of the Dormitory building, completely unaware that the elite team they referred to as ‘God’s Domain’ had been wiped out last night, leaving only Lu Zhao.
On the other side, Lin Yi, after walking a bit further, couldn’t help but shrug his shoulders, sighed helplessly: “Guys, sad news, we’re being watched again…”
