As the black leather-apron-clad Pocket Chef stepped from darkness into light, the bloodstains on the cleaver quickly changed into tomato sauce, then immediately evaporated into a small amount of green mist, before transforming into white plaster-like fragments, which flaked off the blade.

Wei Shan gradually narrowed his eyes, on his face that remained unchanged under the oppressive aura of the Staff Passage, a shade of intense caution surged amidst his excited, grim expression.

His body slightly arched, like a cornered lioness puffing up its fur, he exuded a strong aggressiveness.

Meanwhile, the sky-blue steam rapidly gathered at this moment, roaring and circling around him.

At this moment, "yesterday's Lin Yi" observed from a short distance Wei Shan gathering white powder particles, without knowing that what Wei Shan was truly amassing was the sky-blue steam originating from the Sports Student, and those white powder particles were merely the substance transformed from the tomato sauce dripping from the black leather-apron-clad chef's cleaver...

This moment, around Wei Shan, there seemed to appear a blue vortex, and the next scene was clearly seen by both "yesterday's Lin Yi" and the present Lin Yi. Within the blue vortex swirling with blue and white luster, an indistinct outline shrouded Wei Shan like the Dharma Form of a deity.

But even clearer than "yesterday's self" was Lin Yi beside Wei Shan; he clearly saw the towering figure emerging from behind Wei Shan, rising from the earth like an ancient mountain!

Security Guard!

In a fantasy novel, this could have been likened to Wei Shan summoning a whiff of qi from the ancient Security Emperor at a critical moment, causing some sort of Dharma Form phantom projection...

But the situation now was obviously much more complex, and upon seeing the shadow of a Security Guard looming behind Wei Shan, the black leather-apron-clad chef also paused, slightly startled.

"Who are you?" asked the black leather-apron-clad chef with curiosity.

In his mind, Lin Yi muttered, "I'd keep my own name, born as a reincarnation of the ancient Security Emperor." It seemed that this level of pretense was befitting Wei Shan's current impressive demeanor.

However, Wei Shan, typically impulsive and hot-tempered, instead exhibited a calmness at this moment, which was completely contrary to his usual character.

"'Student'."

As he spoke, Wei Shan approached the trash bin. He extended the school uniform and slowly released his grip, letting it fall into the trash bin under the force of gravity.

In the moment the school uniform fell, a ripple unexpectedly emerged from the bin. Lin Yi was stunned for a second, initially thinking it was an illusion, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the ripple was very strange and seemed... not to be occurring on the same plane as the garbage bin.

"Ding~~~"

It was like a single droplet falling upon a calm lake surface, the whole space rippled, quickly spreading outward, and then Lin Yi realized that the space was collapsing. Before he could react, the world in front of him shattered like a mirror, and he found himself falling into a layer of thin mist.

"'Transition animation'?"

Such a smooth switch almost made Lin Yi unable to distinguish whether he was dreaming or watching a transition CG...

The dreamlike ripples also made Lin Yi wonder whether it was just the "transition animation" causing the disturbance, or if throwing clothes into the bin truly caused some kind of invisible ripple that the naked eye couldn't catch.

He slowly gathered his thoughts, then his expression became grave.

The scene he had just witnessed was clearly a detail only known from Wei Shan's point of view.

The same event, now became even more elusive with the addition of Wei Shan's perspective.

It was like a fragmented puzzle receiving a new piece, but after fitting the new piece, even more mysterious and changing content emerged.

"Wei Sang can actually release the sky-blue steam exclusive to a Sports Student; no wonder he can directly confront a Pseudo-Human... Lin Yi got answers to his many questions. Although Wei Shan isn't a Sports Student, having the sky-blue steam, who could still tell him apart from a Sports Student?

And that chef with the blood-soaked cleaver and the black leather apron made Lin Yi's skin crawl.

Within all known rules, there wasn't a single one that involved a chef wearing a black leather apron.

What did this imply?

That a 'unit' not described by the rules emerged from that abyss-like passage, what did that signify?

Could the deep drumming sounds emanating from the depth of the passage be related to the black leather-apron-clad chef?

How many such chefs were there?!

The Cafeteria, already full of mysteries, became utterly inscrutable with the addition of just one variable, turning a complex problem into something entirely unreadable.

Just then, the thin mist vanished once again, a sudden sense of falling surged, and Lin Yi felt as if he was plunging from the clouds into a long, spiraling slide painted with countless brilliant colors. Before his eyes appeared numerous fragmented visions from which burst forth some sparse images...

A fleeting image of Wei Shan stepping on a green-apron-clad chef in the Student Cafeteria was followed by several glimpses of him moving along the corridors of the Teaching Building and his journey on the cobblestone path...
