章 292: Chapter 135: Gossip Behind the Back

"To be honest, I can't tell either," Xu Shunkang spread his hands, "From her, I can't see the characteristics of an art student, nor the traits of a nocturnal species. It's like... an art student who has lost their identity credential. If I had to say, perhaps it's an 'unstable art student'? If they continue to degenerate, they might turn into 'nocturnal species'."

"Ah?" Lin Yi was somewhat confused.

Xu Shunkang shook his head: "Don't be surprised; 'nocturnal species' is not a single species but a broad collection. They don't just have one transformation pathway; all creatures that become that state, whether living or dead, belong to the nocturnal species."

Lin Yi had an epiphany, it seemed Tian Bufan's conjectured pathway was also correct.

"So, you're saying that pieces that have lost their identity credential will turn into nocturnal species, and the nocturnal species are the ghosts wandering on the chessboard that you just mentioned?" Lin Yi summarized.
