"Feeding the Ash Apostle!"

Lin Yi's pupils contracted sharply!

Indeed, brainstorming is terrifying. If he hadn't discussed this with the eerie art teacher, he wouldn't have arrived at such a conjecture!

Yes!

When he and the homeroom teacher -040 discussed this issue, they were thinking too formulaically, and their problem-solving approaches were all standardized. However, human nature is also key!

Frankly, which mortal could give up the opportunity to 'become immortal'?

And the infiltration force is also calculating three steps ahead, taking all possibilities into account. Whether you want to be a stable mining tool or a smuggler with diamonds in your chrysanthemum, they have it all figured out. No matter what you choose, it's within their plan!

Exhausting the pond to catch fish?

Sorry, I'll dig out the silt from the fish pond and package it up as seaweed mud to sell!

"Wait… Did you just say that you also want to become an Ash Apostle?" Lin Yi looked at the eerie art teacher.

"Yes, the direction of glorious evolution is 'Ash Apostle'. Who wouldn't want to?" The eerie art teacher didn't hide her desire.

"Then aren't you all enemies?" Lin Yi's implication was, why not kill each other first?

"We are not beasts," the eerie art teacher said, somewhat speechless.

Lin Yi thought, 'Still not beasts? That fanatical look just now, even if she's not a beast, she's definitely not human…'

Fanatics, so crazy!

When that time really comes, it's hard to say what it will be like!

"Moreover…" The eerie art teacher said somewhat awkwardly, "None of us have become Ash Apostles yet…"

Despite her words, a doubt arose in Lin Yi's mind. He felt that the eerie art teacher was lying.

Admittedly, whether the infiltration force's goal is to collect ashes or to feed the Ash Apostle, they are both using the method of raising Gu. But if the eerie art teacher and the others are also doing this, then what's the point of creating so many fanatics of 'glorious evolution'?

"Glorious evolution… Glorious evolution… Glorious evolution… Could it be…?!"

Lin Yi had a terrifying thought. Could it be that they have mastered a way to become Ash Apostles together?

Or… are about to master it?

Lin Yi's mind raced. Almost subconsciously, he thought of the matrix on the desolate land, which was nurturing a large number of Wrathful Angels.

The Wrathful Angel is a project that can almost be called a "failure", but the fanatics have been researching it. Is it just to let the Wrathful Angels indiscriminately invade the campus and create trouble for the physical education students?

What's the point of doing that?

The only explanation is that the meaning of the fanatics creating Wrathful Angels is not here, but at a deeper level.

Perhaps there is a problem with the matrix that nurtures the Wrathful Angels?

Is the existence of that matrix related to the fanatics wanting to become 'Ash Apostles' together?

Lin Yi sorted out his thoughts. The fanatics have mastered a matrix, and there is also a sinkhole near the matrix that can continuously produce extraordinary substances… It can be said that the resources are abundant, enough for a lot of research.

Perhaps, the key lies here!

Could it be that the fanatics are not creating Wrathful Angels, but are studying the way to produce Ash Apostles, and the Wrathful Angels… are just something that is produced incidentally during the research?

So, even though the Wrathful Angel is a failure, the fanatics still haven't given up, because the Wrathful Angel is just a scenery along the way on their path.

Lin Yi stopped thinking here, because he suddenly remembered that compared to the fanatics, he now looked more like an Ash Apostle, or rather, he already was.

So, now that he has become an Ash Apostle by accident, no matter what, it seems to have broken someone's plan?

In that case, will the only Ash Apostle in the campus sense him and then attack him?

Lin Yi suddenly felt very bad. Originally, there was only one Ash Apostle, and it would slowly weaken over time, or even if it was fed, it would definitely not be able to keep up with the consumption.

However, if he was killed by the Ash Apostle, or the Ash Apostle didn't kill him, but dismembered him, leaving some of the most critical bodies there, then would his power bank attribute be able to provide something for the Ash Apostle?

Thinking about his original pollution, golden aura…

Lin Yi's body trembled violently. He thought of some creepy things.

If—

He was saying if!

If it was really the plan of the official high-level officials, wouldn't the campus high-level officials take him as a high-level fusion material and then feed it to the Ash Apostle?

If he was swallowed by the Ash Apostle, and the ability was transferred, what would happen?

[They can't possibly let you in.]

[I can't imagine you can come here alive.]

Homeroom teacher -039's words once again rang in his ears with a deeper analysis.

Although he didn't quite believe it, once this conspiracy theory appeared, it would shroud his head like a thick cloud, making him uneasy.

"Was the process of you returning to campus from the art building yesterday safe?" The eerie art teacher asked after a moment of silence.

"Safe? Safe my ass! The Law Weaver hugged my hand and gnawed, and the Alien Angel hugged my body and gnawed. If I hadn't already become what I am now, I'm afraid I would have been chewed up and swallowed by the Alien Angel."

Lin Yi complained in his heart, but said, "Safe, safer than anything."

The eerie art teacher believed Lin Yi's words. In fact, she couldn't imagine Lin Yi encountering those things…

"It seems that the Black Chef's ability is indeed outstanding. No wonder he is so valued by the Lord…" The eerie art teacher sighed, "It's a pity he died…"

Lin Yi pursed his lips. He didn't expect that Old Mo would have such a weight in the eerie art teacher's mind.

But thinking about it, he could understand. Old Mo was probably one of the peak combat powers that could be counted on the fingers within the campus.

He wanted to say something, when suddenly several figures appeared at the door of the classroom, covered in dust and gray aura…

Because the door of the classroom was open, when they appeared, others could easily see them due to the changes in light and shadow.

Lin Yi seemed to sense something, and immediately looked over, his expression suddenly changing.

"It's her?!"

Appearing at the door was the sailor-suited girl with the pink hair clip—Zhang Lingzhen.

However, Zhang Lingzhen at this moment was already different from the image in his mind.

Zhang Lingzhen now wore a tattered, dark green robe, the uniform of a fanatic, beneath which one could vaguely make out a damaged sailor suit. She emanated an unsettling, evil aura, immediately reminding Lin Yi of the hunting dog-like night-stalkers in the Dark Corridor.

Beside Zhang Lingzhen stood several bizarre art students, one of whom looked remarkably like Penguin, the Senior Ren she had mentioned earlier.

Seeing this group, Lin Yi's expression shifted slightly, because he realized that many of the people from the blue bus that had arrived at the campus with him were present!

Lin Yi suddenly felt that something was wrong. When the bizarre art teacher first brought Zhang Lingzhen to the art classroom, there were hardly any familiar faces among that group. At the time, he had assumed that most of them had been killed, but now he discovered that quite a few were alive and well, appearing here as bizarre art students (fanatics).

"How could there be such a reversal!"

Images from the past quickly flashed through Lin Yi's mind...

When the school bus driver hesitated, a strong man, encouraged by others, quickly pressed the bus's door-opening button, and a large group of people got off.

And almost all of those who got off the bus first were now present.

Those who got off later, at the urging of the first group, were almost entirely absent!

It couldn't be such a coincidence! The problem lies here!

"Could it be...?"

Lin Yi suddenly thought of something. Could these people be related to the infiltration force's Ash Collection Project or the Ash Apostle Feeding Project?

He shuddered!

That's right!

Because their group had been taken away by the bizarre art teacher as soon as they arrived at the school, their homeroom teacher, 039, had not investigated them!

Therefore, he wouldn't have discovered their connection to the infiltration force!

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

And now it seemed that the first group was arranged by the infiltration force; they worked together to open the bus door and deliberately got off!

The second group was the school's experience students, but unfortunately, they were tricked to death.

So, if that's the case...

What about him?

What was his role?

Was his boarding the bus an accidental oversight by the authorities, or was it deliberate?

Was his memory problem the work of the authorities?

Or the infiltration force?

Or was it due to some other reason...?

His thoughts raced, and he increasingly felt that he had been arranged by the infiltration force to be food for the Ash Apostle...

"I need to meet up with Young Master Tian as soon as possible..." Lin Yi's ominous premonition grew stronger, and he secretly resolved, "Tonight, I must return to the dormitory at all costs!"

These thoughts flashed through Lin Yi's mind as soon as he glanced at Zhang Lingzhen and the others. At that moment, Zhang Lingzhen also noticed Lin Yi.

Unlike Lin Yi's reaction, Zhang Lingzhen's eyes widened slightly upon seeing him, and a strange expression appeared on her pale face.

However, Lin Yi had a strange intuition that although Zhang Lingzhen saw him, what she truly "saw" didn't seem to be him!

Zhang Lingzhen's eyebrows arched, but her eyeballs bulged slightly, revealing a large area of white. Against the backdrop of the white, her pupil, the size of a bean, looked particularly horrifying.

The corners of her mouth unconsciously curved upward, and her originally neat teeth visibly sharpened...

Desire, greed, violence, gluttony... Lin Yi instantly sensed these emotions from her. These emotions were twisted together, like a hemp rope that had been filled with knives and swords and then twisted, making people feel very uncomfortable.

Her eyes seemed to focus solely on Lin Yi, and regardless of the surrounding situation, she walked towards Lin Yi step by step, continuing to approach him without any sense of boundaries...

"Perception?!" A guess popped into Lin Yi's mind. "Her perception has broken through! Could she have seen through my special nature?"

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes. Regardless of Zhang Lingzhen's intentions, his perception had already been released like tentacles, slowly enveloping Zhang Lingzhen.

Upon investigation, Lin Yi was shocked.

"How did she become like this?!"

In his perception, Zhang Lingzhen's body was now as tattered as her clothes, and many parts of her body did not belong to her.

She was like a flesh-and-blood cyborg with a 51% stake, with most of the flesh and bones being her "original parts," but the other parts no longer belonged to her, like being disassembled and reassembled.

But strangely, the new and old flesh and bones on Zhang Lingzhen's body were perfectly combined, forming a perfect internal cycle.

For a moment, Lin Yi couldn't tell whether Zhang Lingzhen had disassembled parts from other things and installed them on her body, or whether her body had undergone a bizarre mutation in that direction.

Zhang Lingzhen was now very close, her nostrils flaring, twisting her body towards Lin Yi like a cheetah, somewhat similar to Li Huiyuan when she captured the original pollution on him, but more aggressive and more greedy.

Lin Yi stood still, but in fact, he was already prepared to rub her on the ground.

He was just worried about the bizarre art teacher, thinking that acting rashly now might be too hasty.

But his forbearance allowed Zhang Lingzhen to take an inch after gaining a foot. Seeing that Zhang Lingzhen was about to pounce on him, Lin Yi finally couldn't bear it anymore.

But just as he was about to act, Li Huiyuan also couldn't hold back.

"Hmph!"

Li Huiyuan snorted coldly, pulled Lin Yi behind her, and raised her head and chest, confronting Zhang Lingzhen with an unfriendly expression.

"Sniff sniff sniff! Are you a pervert?! Still opening your rake-like mouth, do you believe Grandma will shove your mouth until it explodes?!"

Li Huiyuan scolded, the sky-blue aura constantly intertwined in her hand, condensing the mini baseball bat, pointing it at Zhang Lingzhen's nose.

She was aggressive, protecting Lin Yi behind her, but that momentum didn't seem like protecting a calf, but rather like protecting food.

Upon seeing Li Huiyuan, Zhang Lingzhen's perception suddenly jumped, and the attention that had been on Lin Yi suddenly fell on Li Huiyuan.

"Sports student!"

"Boom—"

Zhang Lingzhen suddenly erupted with a strong hostility, and a green aura emerged from her body, as if condensed into substance, like thick octopus tentacles probing out of the sea.
