"The Convenience Store Owner...?" Upon hearing the name, Xu Shunkang's expression became visibly unnatural, his demeanor reflecting more apprehension than respect. "Did you see him in the Art Building?"
"Only a vague shadow..." Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Can you hear this?"
Xu Shunkang replied, "I can hear, but not too much. I'll ask just one question... Does the Convenience Store Owner know about Old Mo's sacrifice in the Art Building?"
"He knows." Lin Yi responded, adding that the Convenience Store Owner had explicitly asked him to bring back Old Mo's heart and hand it over, implying that Old Mo might still be saved somehow—though this was merely Lin Yi's inference based on the Convenience Store Owner's words.
However, Xu Shunkang's question instead reminded Lin Yi that Old Mo was the Cafeteria's last drop of blood. Could it be that bringing back Old Mo's heart was connected to the Cafeteria's "Blood-locking Mechanism"?
