272: Section 272

"It's already past five. Are we pulling out now?"

Wei Nan's voice was very low, as if he were terrified of being overheard by Feng Lei next door.

Lin Yi checked the time on his phone again; it clearly displayed 17:15.

He nodded. "Yeah, contact Zhou Qi and the others first. We'll meet at the Cafeteria!"

"Alright!"

After hanging up, Lin Yi turned back to find Little Seven, only to see it fast asleep on the pillow.

It was completely different from how it had been inside the Domain.

Inside the Domain, the adult Little Seven soared through the starry skies.

Its seven-colored streamers added a magnificent splash of color to the vast, pitch-black galaxy.

However, after Lin Yi emerged from the [Domain], looking at Little Seven's chick-like appearance, he couldn't connect it to the Divine Bird from the Domain at all.

Lin Yi quickly changed his clothes, tucked Little Seven into his pocket, and walked out of the room.

The living room was empty. Wei Shang and Feng Lei were both resting in their respective rooms.

Taking advantage of this, he headed toward the main door.

When Lin Yi stepped out of the dormitory, Wei Nan was already waiting for him outside.

The two shared a smile. Wei Nan couldn't help but grumble, "I thought we'd be free once we got into university!"

"Who would have thought it'd be like sneaking around like thieves!"

Lin Yi nodded with a smile, "The main thing is that we don't know the true motives of Wei Shang and Feng Lei!"

"It's better to be on guard. If we get backstabbed, there'll be nowhere to cry about it!"

"Let's go, let's get some food at the Cafeteria first!"

Wei Nan nodded, and the two quickly headed downstairs.

When they arrived at the Zone 1 Cafeteria, it was just like at noon—sparse and barely anyone around. At a glance, they spotted Shen Mengyi, Zhou Qi, and Sun Tao, who had already arrived.

After exchanging greetings, Lin Yi and Wei Nan grabbed their trays to get food.

Not long after, when they walked over.

"Those two in your dorm didn't notice anything, right?" Zhou Qi asked with a chuckle.

Wei Nan shook his head. "They were probably still asleep when we left!"

"That's good. I also feel like those two are a bit off, especially that guy called Wei Shang. He's a bit too enthusiastic. If you tell me he doesn't have an ulterior motive, I'll take my head off and let you kick it around like a ball!" Sun Tao said, frowning.

This was exactly why they were suspicious of Wei Shang and Feng Lei.

"Eat up. Once we're done, we're heading straight to Prison City!"

"Oh, right, Mengyi, what about Sister Xue? Isn't she coming with us?" Lin Yi looked up at Shen Mengyi.

The latter shook her head. "Senior Sister said she was going to go with us, but she just received a call saying Captain Chu wants her to go to the Monster Hunting Bureau..."

Lin Yi nodded. "It's fine, we'll just go ourselves!"

The others didn't say anything. Instead, they felt a bit of anticipation for Prison City.

Although it was a place of exile where the Monster Hunting Bureau locked up the captured Yao Beasts and exotic beasts, leaving them to fend for themselves.

It had been like this for hundreds of years, and slowly, it had become something like a hunting ground.

Xingwu University, Martial Alliance University, including Longhu University and Lanshan University—students from all of them would go there to complete missions.

The mission objectives were just different. Over time, it had become a hunting ground for the various universities in the New District.

After they finished eating, the sky outside had gradually darkened.

The nights in Songshan City were brilliant and dazzling. Neon lights and moonlight intertwined, making the entire city incredibly bright.

Lin Yi and the others left Zone 1 and headed straight for the school gate.

Prison City was not some secret location in Songshan City.

As soon as Lin Yi and his group walked out of the school gate, several unlicensed taxis were parked outside, with drivers calling out incessantly.

"Prison City, Prison City! Anyone going to Prison City..."

"Student, are you going to Prison City? We leave as soon as you get in!"

"Leaving immediately, destination Prison City!"

Lin Yi glanced at them but didn't stop.

They had previously asked Qin Zhaoxue about the route to Prison City. There was absolutely no need to take a bus or taxi to get there.

There was a subway station not far from the school. One could take the subway directly to Prison City.

Therefore, there was no need to take a taxi, let alone an unlicensed taxi, to get to Prison City.

The group shook off the unlicensed taxi drivers and headed straight for the subway station.

About twenty minutes later, they successfully boarded the subway to Prison City.

... Evening. 19:22.

In Dorm 508, Wei Shang walked out of his room with his hair messy and disheveled.

The living room was pitch black; no one had turned on the lights.

He walked out, yawning and scratching his head. "What time is it? Why hasn't anyone come out?"

Knock, knock, knock—

"Feng Lei? Still not awake? Let's go downstairs to eat!"

Wei Shang first went over and knocked on Feng Lei's door, then walked toward Lin Yi and Wei Nan's room.

As a result, after knocking for over ten minutes, apart from Feng Lei walking out with sleepy eyes, there was no movement from Lin Yi and Wei Nan's room.

"Wait, what time is it now?"

"It's seven-thirty..."

Wei Shang, sitting on the sofa, said while yawning.

"Seven-thirty? How could they have slept for so long? What about Lin Yi and Wei Nan? Go wake them up to eat!" Feng Lei said in surprise.

Wei Shang glanced at him. "I already called them; they must still be asleep!"

"Still asleep?"

Feng Lei looked back at the two closed doors.

The next moment, Wei Shang also suddenly realized something.

The two walked toward Lin Yi and Wei Nan's rooms respectively.

They knocked on the doors for a long time but didn't get any response.

Wei Shang panicked, and he exchanged a look with Feng Lei.

"They aren't in their rooms?"

"Could it be that they've already gone to Prison City?"

Suddenly, a chill ran down both of their backs.

"Oh no, hurry, hurry! Let's go check the Cafeteria!"

Wei Shang and Feng Lei then rushed back into their own rooms.

They grabbed their jackets and sprinted toward the Cafeteria.

When they arrived at the Cafeteria, their gazes were like mine sweepers.

They searched the Cafeteria for the figures of Lin Yi and Wei Nan.

The result, naturally, was that they couldn't find them.

There weren't that many people in the Zone 1 dorms to begin with, and even fewer students came to the Cafeteria to eat.
