After 9:00 PM, the restriction that one cannot leave the classroom applies to Experience Students, not Art Students, so they can totally do that, right?

They just need to register with the Class Teacher and then wait until close to midnight to take the Teaching Building elevator back to the Art Building.

"Maozi may not know, but Mu Daxian should know, right?"

"Could it be that something else happened, or... have they already left the classroom?"

After all, it seemed now that Mao Feiyang's wound needed constant rinsing with clean water, as it seemed to be the only way to purify some of the inducing breath emitted from the contamination.

"Let's go," Mu Daxian patted Mao Feiyang's shoulder, then led the way towards the Corridor Bridge, this time from Building B's second floor to Building C's second floor.

"Remember to turn off the water."

Mu Daxian didn't forget to remind him.

Until Mao Feiyang ran through the Corridor Bridge, Lin Yi still did not understand why they wouldn't enter the classroom, even though Mao Feiyang knew all the rules that he knew. Why couldn't they think of something he realized right away?

But soon he understood, because just as these thoughts sprang into his mind, he suddenly saw hallucination-like images before his eyes.

It felt like a "dream within a dream," and he saw Mu Daxian knocking on a certain door.

"He" quickly gathered as many informational details as possible within his limited view, and soon realized that the doorplate was... "Teacher's Office (Group B Class 2)"!

"Damn!"

"Has Mu Daxian visited this place with Maozi before? How could this be such a coincidence? Impossible, right?!"

"Was it... to deliver a meal?" "He" soon heard a voice coming from inside.

The voice was familiar, causing Lin Yi's heart to skip a beat.

It was the voice of Class Teacher-039!

"So, you're saying... 'at this time' it's still within the time period for the chef to deliver meals to the Class Teacher?"

Lin Yi was instantly confused. On May 7th... he returned to the Teaching Building at 18:40, then went back to his seat to update and modify a note, and immediately went to report the issue with the chef to Class Teacher-039.

Not long after reporting, he had stayed in the classroom until 20:15, until Xu Shunkang and other Sports Students urged him to leave the classroom.

So, were Mu Daxian and Mao Feiyang knocking on the door of Teacher's Office Group B Class 2 while he was fixing the note?

In other words, on May 7th, was he really just separated by a wall from Mao Feiyang?!

Did they pass by each other at such a close distance?!

This...

"Hey, that's not right!"

Lin Yi suddenly froze.

"Mu Daxian knocked on Class Teacher-039's door, wasn't that to follow the Art Student Rules, the one that goes 'Go to the Class Teacher to register before entering the classroom'?"

"After registering, don't you enter the classroom?"

"Right, why wouldn't you enter the classroom after registering?"

He quickly spotted the problem.

Only to hear Mu Daxian saying, "Teacher, I'm an Art Student, bringing a Newborn to register, and we'd like to rest in the class for a while."

"My Art Student ID is 'Yue-X0210905182', previously registered in Group B Class 2, you can check the records."

A moment later, Class Teacher-039 opened the door of the classroom.

But just as the office door opened, Mu Daxian's expression changed, he quickly stepped back to stand in front of Mao Feiyang, tensing his body very cautiously, and locked eyes on Class Teacher-039's face: "Teacher, have you been contaminated?"

"As you see." Class Teacher-039's complexion wasn't much better than when Lin Yi left, his hair was still sweaty, and his breath was unstable.

"There seems to be a problem with the Cafeteria, I can't get accurate supplies... now... isn't a good time to register."

"I understand," Mu Daxian stepped back and said in a deep voice, "then let's close the door before we talk."

"Alright..." Class Teacher-039 closed the door and then slid open the peephole, watching Mu Daxian through it.

Lin Yi suddenly realized that this was the reason Mao Feiyang had not entered the classroom.

This coincidence felt like a mockery by fate.

Mu Daxian continued, "The Night Watchman rang the bell of Doomsday, and the Grey Mist Invasion is a matter of these few days... When did the issue start occurring in the cafeteria?"

"It started the day the boss vanished."

"The butterfly effect..." Mu Daxian narrowed his eyes, "When it rains, it pours indeed..."

"Okay, then I will take my leave now."

"Hold on..." Class Teacher-039 stopped him, "Check the junior beside you, he's injured, I just now smelled a very strong scent of contamination... Such a degree of scent might attract an 'Angel'."

A gleam flitted across Mu Daxian's eyes: "An 'Angel'? Are you sure?"

"Take a look yourself, on the upper left arm."

Mu Daxian hurriedly grabbed Mao Feiyang's hand and indeed saw the wound.

"This wound? Scratched on the mountain path?" Mu Daxian asked, surprised.

"Yeah... I don't feel much, how about it, is it serious?" asked Mao Feiyang, clearly unaware and unconcerned.

Big men don't bother about such minor scratches.

But seeing Mu Daxian's grave expression made Mao Feiyang realize the situation might not be so simple.

"Could it be something is wrong?" he suddenly felt a bit panicky.

Mu Daxian said gravely, "Although the physique of an Art Student is not as good as that of a Sports Student, it's impossible for such a minor thing to cause a skin tear..."

"But I've just become an Art Student?"

"It has nothing to do with the length of time. Having held a Commemorative Coin and having undergone one Artistic Journey, your body should have already reached the minimum standard of an Art Student, otherwise, I would not have taken you on the mountain path rashly."

"So this wound... is it serious, could I... could I die?" Mao Feiyang became increasingly anxious.

Mu Daxian, however, kept his gaze on the wound and then said in a deep voice, "There's 'Supernatural Power' in your blood far more than a usual Art Student... strange, I didn't feel it at the beginning?"

"This can't be good... Your blood will eventually burst out of your body, it must be gradually expelled from your body preemptively, otherwise, when it attracts the big guys, there will be no end to it..."

"It's not yet 20:00... still four more hours before we can take the elevator, I need to hide you for four hours."

Class Teacher-039's voice came from behind the door: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will have completed 'detaching from the identity of Class Teacher-039' and follow the security guard to leave by 20:00."

"You can trail far behind us to Building C, using the residual scent of the security guard to mask the traces of contamination. By doing this, it's estimated to be safe before 22:00..."

"The remaining two hours... you'll have to figure out on your own."

Class Teacher-039's thinking was very clear; even in any situation as a class teacher, she would always maintain her thoughts on safety to respond to all emergencies.

Mu Daxian listened quietly.

After a brief breath, Class Teacher-039 continued: "You entered in the year '21... being able to survive until now, you must be quite esteemed among the Art Students, I won't repeat some of the practices that the seniors often talk about."

"Just remember, don't engage unnecessarily until it's essential..."

"Last night, an entity resembling an 'Angel' landed, I'm not sure if the security guard managed to clear it, it would be best for you to use the Nocturnal species to mask your scent. Although it's riskier, sometimes to avoid more fierce beasts, one must risk venturing into the cattle herd..."

"You understand what I mean, right?"

"Of course, I understand," Mu Daxian gently patted the bag on his back and the palette, "I have experience."

Only then did Class Teacher-039 notice the bag and palette and couldn't help but pause, "You..."

She hesitated but then did not speak, while Lin Yi also noticed that when Class Teacher-039 saw the palette, a complex gleam surged in her eyes.
