Next to the shopping terminal, one of the doors of the Convenience Store was half closed as usual, with a small round sign hanging on it that read "Open." However, looking through the other open door, one could see nothing but chaos, permeating through it was a heart-wrenching grey color.

When Mao Feiyang arrived at the entrance of the Convenience Store, Mu Daxian was about to lead him inside, but at that moment, Mu Daxian frowned secretly and couldn't help but say, "How strange..."

"Brother Xian, what's strange?" Mao Feiyang immediately asked.

"No one is chasing us, don't you find that strange?" Mu Daxian said.

Mao Feiyang hesitated, "Could it be that Old Mo has held them off?"

"What does our running here have to do with Old Mo?" Mu Daxian said, "Something's off! It would be normal if someone were chasing us!"

Mao Feiyang thought to himself, what kind of masochistic tendency is this: "Could it be that there's a problem with the Convenience Store?"

"Damn!" Mu Daxian shuddered and then angrily said, "You dare to set up that kind of flag?"

Just then, as if to respond to Mu Daxian's words and Mao Feiyang's guess, an ominous breath suddenly arose at window number 10 of the cafeteria.

This was a breath that was undeniably sinister; as soon as it appeared, it caused the incandescent lights near window number 10 to flicker.

"Damn?!" Mu Daxian's scalp tingled, and he immediately grabbed the hem of Mao Feiyang's clothes and dragged him into the Convenience Store, "Go go go go! Hurry into the Convenience Store!"

The moment he entered the Convenience Store, it was as if the seal of window number 10 was broken, and a dense grey mist began to diffuse... as if something was about to burst forth from within.

As Mao Feiyang entered the Convenience Store, Lin Yi's perspective also traversed through the door of the Convenience Store with them.

Mao Feiyang had a stunned look on his face, he hadn't even reacted from the position inside the Convenience Store when Mu Daxian pulled him in: "This Convenience Store... why does it look like an image projected on the wall?"

"'Projection'? You really know how to make a comparison." Mu Daxian spoke jokingly, but his gaze was continuously surveying the Convenience Store environment, "The Convenience Store's location is just peculiar; it has nothing to do with projection. Du Fu once said 'Nature's beauty is created by Heaven, darkness and light divided by dusk and dawn'; this phrase aptly expresses the special location of the Convenience Store, situated at an intersection of yin and yang, appearing with the emergence of 'the third kind of light.'

"Hiss..." Mao Feiyang felt goosebumps all over, first Van Gogh then Da Vinci, "Could it be that Du Fu... was also freaking an Art Student?"

"Brother Xian, I'm not well-read, don't trick me!"

Mao Feiyang was a bit confused, thinking to himself are we reading two different versions of the history books?!

Mu Daxian looked at Mao Feiyang silently, his lips twitching slightly, "I was just making a reference, don't take it too seriously..."

Mao Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, that scared me to death, nearly overturned my understanding of Huaxia history...

"Brother Xian, what was that just now? I feel like I saw the cafeteria flash for a moment, I don't know if it was an illusion." Mao Feiyang asked.

"It wasn't an illusion." Mu Daxian shook his head, thinking to himself the cafeteria is not right, flashing lights this early in the morning.

"It's a big problem... probably related to what happened last night."

"Last night?!" Mao Feiyang was startled, "Could it be that 'It' came to the cafeteria? "

"No, it wasn't 'It'." Mu Daxian denied, "If it were 'It,' we'd already be seeing Heaven by now. It must be something that wasn't dealt with in time, running out from window number 10."

Mu Daxian stroked his chin pensively, "Never mind, let's first look for the Commemorative Coin, ah no, there's a Convenience Store Notice here suitable for Art Students, take a look at this first."

"I'll go check on the situation... A Convenience Store 'on this layer' is not common."

Having said that, Mu Daxian left, leaving Mao Feiyang alone by the door frame of the Convenience Store.

Mao Feiyang wanted to say something, but Mu Daxian had already disappeared around a shelf with no trace left.

"Ah, this..." Mao Feiyang grasped at the air, then sighed and first read the Convenience Store Notice as Mu Da had instructed.

"Convenience Store... Notice... 1?"

Mao Feiyang read each word and sentence, and when he reached the last line, his whole body went numb.

[4, If you are not an Experience Student with a Student ID card, please ignore this notice and read the part on the back.]

Alright, alright, is this how we're playing it?

Mao Feiyang, gritting his teeth, flipped it over and started reading again:

"[Convenience Store Notice (2)]..."

"[...The convenience store owner has a badge, and the badge number is 'Convenience Store Owner-00X' (X is one of the digits 1, 2, 3, and will absolutely not be another number)...]"

"[Trust the words of the convenience store owner and obey all arrangements of the convenience store (priority over teachers).]"

"The priority of the convenience store owner over teachers..." Mao Feiyang muttered, "That... gives Him the power to confront, probably has a higher priority than most people in the school..."

Like Mao Feiyang, it was Lin Yi's first time entering the convenience store, seeing the rules related to the convenience store owner; however, Mao Feiyang was not Lin Yi. After such a night, he already had some understanding of the convenience store owner, so at this moment, the feedback and feelings he received from reading the Convenience Store Notice were significantly different.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi was rereading the Convenience Store Notice, also gaining quite a unique insight.

"The convenience store owner... Looks like there are three?"

"But listening to Brother Xian recounting... Why do I always feel like there is just one convenience store owner?" Lin Yi was puzzled, "Unless three convenience store owners joined hands to expel Him?"

But... none of Brother Xian's words seemed to suggest anything about three convenience store owners...

Mao Feiyang also realized this issue, muttering, "How come there are three convenience store owners," and continued reading.

"[3, If the other party is a convenience store owner without a badge or with an abnormal badge, please find a way to divert his attention before he shows strong malice toward you (about a minute's time), and immediately escape quickly in the direction of the blue signs.

...

In the whole process, remember:

Do not attempt to attack or provoke it, as this will accelerate the speed at which it generates malice!

You are not and can never be its opponent!

Run! Run fast!]"

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes. When he first read this sentence, he thought that the 'convenience store owner without a badge or with an abnormal badge' was some sort of disguise from another unit, but now he believed it was probably a transformation similar to that of the Pseudo-Human Art Teacher and Pseudo-Human Art Student.

Even the convenience store owner couldn't resist contamination and then became a Pseudo-Human Convenience Store Owner... right?

But then again... As a unit that could confront Him, the convenience store owner himself was already transcendent. If a transcendent being turned into a pseudo-being, just how terrifying would the convenience store owner be?

It wouldn't turn the cafeteria into a live-shot site of a horror movie, would it?

Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine.

Mao Feiyang also couldn't help but touch his own arm, trying to soothe the uneasy emotions inside him.

After finishing the rules, Mao Feiyang glanced once more at the door of the Convenience Store, beyond which chaos reigned, like opening the door to a cold storage, where the rolling chill was dense enough to contaminate the sight.

Under the grey mist, it seemed as though something still lingered till now.

Mao Feiyang shivered involuntarily, whispering, "Even if there is something, it probably can't come in, right?"

He looked at the mist, and then, not knowing what came over him, was compelled to move closer to the door frame as if he wanted to see something.

Suddenly, a black silhouette with a human shape appeared unannounced behind the grey mist, as if it were separated from him only by the door frame!
