Lin Yi couldn't help but relate to the situation at that time and then reflected for a moment.

[The next thing you're going to do is very dangerous...]

[Isn't having a pawn that trusts you a good thing...]

[What's bad about that...]

[She was not going to live long anyway, some things might as well be discussed openly and honestly...]

[Didn't you guys notice...that guy with the blue bib has been staring at her from the start, just like looking at a dead person?]

"A pawn? A dead person?"

Lin Yi's mind suddenly flashed: "Are you deducing this from the way the blue bib chef was looking at her?"

He thought of the "Ru Zai" blue bib chef; he wasn't looking at everyone either, in his memory, it was them he was watching, aside from staring at Li Huiyuan.

"Not...so by your saying, don't we also not have long to live?" Lin Yi asked in surprise.

Tian Bufan smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Congratulations on spotting the blind spot."

Lin Yi tensed up, unable to help touching the goosebumps on his arm: "Young Master Tian, this joke isn't funny at all!"

"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Tian Bufan asked back, but he did not continue, instead, he glanced at Wei Liang and Li Huiyuan.

Wei Liang was slightly stunned, then consciously took out a napkin, wadded it up, and stuffed it in his ears, then covered them with his hands...

The smooth and silent operation was so skillful that Lin Yi almost wanted to go over and beat him up.

"He still 'refused' to listen, so..." Tian Bufan took a glance at Li Huiyuan, "our next conversation, you listen but don't think too hard on it, just ask Old Lin afterward, and take whatever Old Lin tells you as a fact or the truth that must be accepted, understood?"

Li Huiyuan was still lost in the nightmare of losing her student ID card, staring blankly and merely nodding her head.

But Tian Bufan patted her shoulder heavily, his expression cold and serious, and with his height of one meter ninety, he suddenly had the oppressive feel of a massive bear looming over Little Red Riding Hood: "I'm not 'telling' you things; I'm 'ordering' you to do something, do you understand?"

Shaken by Tian Bufan's aura, Li Huiyuan shuddered violently, her mind, which had nearly crashed, began to work rapidly: "I, I understand!"

Tian Bufan slightly nodded, then said to Lin Yi, "Maozi was contaminated as soon as he entered the school, leading to all of us being contaminated, which is, in itself, an invisible crisis. In ancient Greek legends, there's a sword called 'Sword of Damocles,' which means 'suspended sword,' and now, this sword is hanging over all of our heads."

"Once the contamination intensifies, severing the thread that binds the sword handle, we will all perish, wouldn't you say we also might not live long?"

Lin Yi pondered: "Are you saying, her situation is the same as ours?"

Tian Bufan said: "Probably about the same, you can ask her what she went through when she entered the school when you have time."

Lin Yi slightly nodded.

"That blue bib chef certainly holds some mechanisms, but it must react to 'contamination.' It's clear that she has also been contaminated, just not sure what her level of pollution is. I don't yet know the exact method to measure Pollution Depth, but you can ask the Sports Student to assess her situation." Lin Yi said: "Okay."

Sports Students have ways to differentiate the Art Student from the Experience Student and can even distinguish between normal Art Student, eerie Art Student, and non-human peers, suggesting they too might have a certain 'perceptual ability,' just not sure if the perceptual capabilities of Sports Students and Art Students are the same.

"But, Old Lin," Tian Bufan spoke calmly, "you have carelessly mistaken one thing."

"Where did I go wrong?"

"When I said she has a problem, I wasn't talking about how to save her, but rather... how to maximize the effectiveness."

When Tian Bufan said this, he did not care about how Li Huiyuan, who was listening next to him, felt, as if he were tearing open her wounds to expose the bloody reality.

Li Huiyuan, hearing this statement, went pale but slightly lowered her head, biting her lips tightly, desperately controlling her collapsing emotions.

Tian Bufan spread his hands, indifferently laying out the cold facts as if he were making a report: "We don't even know how to save ourselves; how can we presumptuously claim to save others?"

"All we can do is take what we need."

"She has been contaminated, and also does not know what is right... So, let her serve as a chess piece for us, testing the boundaries of the campus rules."

"A planet wanting to explore the universe is extremely dangerous, but if it can possess a satellite orbiting itself, gradually extending its boundaries, step by step, then everything will be much better from many aspects."

"We are now like a planet, and she is our satellite."

"If ultimately we could find a way to save ourselves, then she could also be saved."

"Frankly speaking, this is good for us, as it lowers the risk of our actions, and for her...perhaps the risk is slightly higher than acting alone."

Tian Bufan did not deliberately conceal the risk factor, ensuring that Li Huiyuan next to him received the same 'objective' amount of information as Lin Yi.

"Of course, compared to 'satellite,' there is a more naked term for her—pawn."
