"With your current cognition, this is not something you can understand yet." Boss gently gave Li Huiyuan a flick on her smooth forehead.

Lin Yi is indeed gradually picking up the authority he originally possessed...

It seems that he is exactly what the Principal mentioned before setting sail... "A hidden trump card"?

If that's the case, it seems his training could be more aggressive.

Li Huiyuan silently shrank her neck, feeling the faint chill emanating from Boss beside her, she secretly glanced at Boss.

Boss stood with arms crossed in front of him, his head slightly tilted back strategically, and a frightening sharpness flickered in his long, narrow eyes...

Li Huiyuan gently gasped and subconsciously clenched Lin Yi's swim cap and goggles, looking worriedly at Lin Yi, who was paddling through the water.

...

On the other side, Lin Yi had been swimming in the pool for a few minutes already. Because Boss said to swim slowly, aiming to deplete stamina, he wasn't in a rush to paddle fiercely.

Meanwhile, in this process, he perked up his ears, like two receivers, absorbing the conversation between Boss and Li Huiyuan.

"Was my Phantom Vision indeed a part of Dream Building at the time...?"

"It seems that Young Master Tian's statement applies here as well, my will captured the bands in higher dimensions at certain special moments..."

"So, the things I've seen are scenes from past world nodes, events happening in another space now, and... a scene from an uninappeared future?"

"Wait, is it possible... that the current me is actually a projection generated by my future self using Dream Building in the past?"

"The true timeline is actually the scene I saw while repairing The City Wall?!"

The City Wall crumbled, the Art Building was submerged by the black sea, and the boundless tsunami inundated the campus, destroying everything...

Could it be that the real me, unable to resist reality at that time, chose to utilize Dream Building to cut into that point in time... attempting to reverse the future?!

[Time is a curse.]

At that moment, the words of the Security Guard, who gave him a strong sense of oppression, suddenly made him shiver as if a sword was hanging over his head.

Could the Security Guard have seen through everything long ago?!

Compared to the Night Watchman, who needs to maintain "humanity" at certain moments, the Security Guard seems more like an embodiment of some protective mechanism within the campus. Could it be that his existence triggered such a mechanism, prompting the Security Guard to convey such a message across voids and dreams?

Past... present... future...

Lin Yi's thoughts were slightly entranced, and he subconsciously stopped paddling, causing his body to sink a little.

A mouthful of pool water splashed in, choking Lin Yi into a violent cough.

"Cough! Cough cough cough! Cough cough..."

"No, it's not."

Lin Yi gradually recovered, his eyes showing a fierce determination.

The past events have already passed, the current ones are slowly unfolding, and the future ones... have yet to occur!

"I am in the 'now,' in this moment! Moreover, I am only 'in the now'!"

"Even if I've seen something, those vague fragments might just be specks in the ordinary timeline... They can alert me but can't dictate my future!"

Lin Yi steadied his spirit, trying to continue listening to Boss and Li Huiyuan's conversation, but he couldn't hear anything.

Boss and Li Huiyuan were no longer speaking.

So he shifted his attention to the end of the pool.

Strangely, he had been swimming for several minutes, yet it seemed he hadn't closed the distance to the opposite side of the pool much.

He swam a bit longer, but with his swimming, the distance to the opposite side of the pool, instead, increased.

"What's going on?" He froze for a moment and then suddenly realized that the other side of the pool had slowly melted into darkness, and he was gradually unable to see that boundary.

He squinted his eyes, held his breath, and with golden flames rising in his eyes, "Field of View Insight" activated in real-time!

"Whoosh!"

As "Field of View Insight" activated, his vision began to zoom rapidly toward the pool's opposite side. However, this zooming speed quickly decayed in less than three seconds, replaced swiftly by an extreme visual retreat!

"What's going on?!"

Lin Yi was shocked, decisively exiting Field of View Insight, but it was already too late. The moment he switched back to normal sight, everything around him had already transformed into the kind of environment he'd just seen in the field of view.

Worse still, the pool's boundary had become completely blurred, yet on the so-called "horizon," there were towering structures resembling the walls of the Swimming Hall looming faintly.

"Splash—splash—splash—"

Around Lin Yi, there was nothing else but monotonous, tormentingly sterile sound of water, numbing his nerves and perception while instilling him with a subtle, ghostly fear.

The entire swimming pool seemed to have been magnified countless times. The LED lights above seemed as distant as luminous eyes sprouting in a shadowy sky, making Lin Yi feel an eerie sensation that he was faintly being observed by some unknown being.

"Splash—splash—splash—"

The surface of the water slightly rippled, carrying a sticky glue-like sensation, yet the tactile feedback from Lin Yi's skin told him this water was just water, with no other changes.
