Chapter 28 This place seems a bit uneven
X May 7, 2023, 11:53, student restaurant on the first floor of the cafeteria.
Lin Yi and Wei Liang followed some students and queued up in front of the meal purchase window.
The meal purchase window of the student restaurant is directly facing the entrance of the restaurant. The style of the window is a bit like the huge transparent glass used for taking medicine in a hospital. There is an empty strip below to allow the entry and exit of food trays. 's gap.
Each window has an eye-catching number posted on the glass. The style is a red circle with a number. From left to right, they are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Meal purchase window No. 1 and Meal purchase window No. 5 are in two corners of the student restaurant respectively. The light there is dim, but there are the most people queuing.
Lin Yi watched curiously, and then discovered that there were no meal purchase windows No. 6 to 9 on the first floor of the cafeteria.
"The meal purchase windows No. 6 and No. 9 are on the second floor." Wei Liang seemed to understand Lin Yi's problem and explained.
"Oh." Lin Yi nodded, in response to Wei Liang's words.
He and Wei Liang lined up at the No. 3 meal shopping window. This row was almost the middle line of the canteen, with the brightest light, giving them a sense of security.
After Lin Yi responded, he glanced at the long queue, lowered his head and closed his mouth.
After what happened just now, he understood that there was another source of danger in the student cafeteria that was not recorded in the cafeteria rules - the environment.
In other words, light.
The canteen rules clearly state:
[The lighting in the student cafeteria area is turned on 24 hours a day. Do not enter areas without light.
Stay away from the darkness of the cafeteria.
As soon as the lights flash in the student restaurant, please immediately! immediately! Leave the cafeteria through the [Student Channel] at all costs!
The canteen with lights out is different from the classroom, there is no safe area! 】
It was clearly written, but he was still almost in danger just now. If Wei Liang hadn't awakened him, he would have sunk into the unreasonable abyss.
And he also discovered that the gap between reality and imagination is as huge as the difference between clouds and mud.
Only when you enter the canteen in person will you understand what the rules mean.
Sometimes, when you understand the meaning of the rules through personal practice, it may be too late.
But trying to understand the rules just by reading the code is too absurd.
This canteen, but as far as the current student canteen is concerned, due to lighting problems, the light intensity here is almost the same as in the evening even though it is daytime.
The entire restaurant was filled with dim light. One side of the restaurant had slanting light and shadow, like dusk, while the other side had no light at all, like a dark blind spot.
Only the incandescent lamp struggled to emit light, illuminating the canteen area clearly, but this light also gradually dimmed from the center to the surroundings.
When we reach the edge of the area, there is brightness where there is sunlight, while areas where there is no sunlight can only retreat into the shadows.
Such an environment reminded Lin Yi of a place - the corridor of the teaching building.
Same incandescent light…
Same shadow…
The "light flashing" also mentioned in the rules...
Everything is so similar.
But the difference between the cafeteria and the teaching building is that the shadows in the cafeteria are really deep.
If the teaching building is only a small corner that is not illuminated by the light, then the canteen is a huge area that is not illuminated.
Moreover, as the sunlight shifts, this area becomes active.
Now at noon, the shadow area is the smallest. Once it reaches evening, the meal shopping window No. 1 and meal shopping window No. 5 may be covered.
Lin Yi's eyelids twitched slightly.
"If it is really after 20:00, then there will only be a small area illuminated by lights in the cafeteria..."
[A dark place away from the cafeteria , don’t enter a place without light! 】
"The subject of 'don't enter'... is not just 'people', but also... 'attention'!"
"Damn...it means you can't even eat a bird!"
"This is too harsh!"
And...
"Although the canteen is open 24 hours a day Incandescent lights, but there are uncontrollable factors such as 'light flickering' or even 'extinguishing'!"
"A canteen with lights out..."
[The canteen with lights out is different from the classroom, there is no safe area! 】
Lin Yi shuddered subconsciously and quickly suppressed his thoughts, not daring to continue thinking in the entire direction.
He collected his thoughts and followed Wei Liang, his eyes falling on Wei Liang's heels, and he silently moved forward with the team.
Suddenly, a plain voice, with a hint of questioning, sounded in his ears:
"Classmate, are you waiting in line?"
Lin Yi was slightly startled, and then heard "classmate" several more times.
After confirming that the other party was really asking about him, he moved his eyes away from Wei Liang's heels and moved slowly along the blue-gray patterned floor tiles of the student restaurant towards the source of the sound.
But the moment he turned his neck a little, a pair of legs wearing black shoes and white pants came into the corner of his eye.
The field of vision widened as he turned, and the skirt of a dark green bib appeared in his sight...
His pupils shrank violently, and there was a strong crisis. Feelings surged out of his heart instantly, sweeping over him like a storm.
Article 10 of the canteen rules suddenly came to his mind:
[While queuing up to purchase food and eating, do not pay attention to communication requests from any strangers around you. If you are traveling with someone else, please focus on communicating with them and ignore any unusual situations around you. 】
"Fuck!!!" A huge word "fuck" came out of Lin Yi's mind, and then slapped on his forehead with a flick and a tap.
But fortunately, after a night of "pull-and-pull" with the wrong classmate, Lin Yi has become a different person.
Although his physical strength was somewhat exhausted, at this moment he tensed up with strength squeezed out from nowhere.
Just like a robot whose action instructions were suddenly deleted, his movements suddenly froze.
It is as if the pause button has been pressed forcibly.
Theoretically speaking...he has not yet responded to the "communication request" issued by the other party.
"Gulu..."
Lin Yi tensed up, his throat rolled slightly, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.
Although he had not slept for a long night and had been frightened earlier, which made him feel exhausted, but at this moment, under the whipping of a strong sense of crisis, his brain began to jerk like a tractor with wind. Breathing black smoke, Pentium roared...
"Canteen rules! Teaching building rules! Damn! Teaching building rules are no longer needed!" "What the hell are there other rules?! Notice board ? Student Code? Yes, yes! Student Code!"
"Student Code!" Codes burst out in his mind. !
Soon, in addition to the previous one, he directly locked in two more rules, one from the "Student Code":
[The cafeteria currently only has 9 meal purchase windows open, and the ones in each window are Employees all wear blue bibs. If an employee in a green bib shows up to recommend the latest dish (especially spaghetti bolognese), ignore him. Remember, there is no ketchup in the cafeteria, so be wary of any food that uses ketchup as a condiment. 】
The remaining one comes from the "Canteen Code":
[Canteen employees have uniform clothing. They wear white chef suits and blue bibs, and wear name tags.
All cafeteria employees stay inside the employee activity area and meal purchase window, and will not appear in the student cafeteria area. Once you find an employee in the cafeteria area, please ignore him. 】
Without enough time to think about the connections among the rules, Lin Yi first substituted the current situation into the code and made the first wave of temporary emergency analysis.
He has no time!
Because according to the canteen rules, canteen employees will not enter the student cafeteria area at all!
Besides, there is absolutely nothing in the cafeteria! without! have! green! color! Wai! pocket! of! kitchen! division!
Not even the green bib exists!
"All the employees in the cafeteria are chefs with blue bibs, and they are still in the dining windows 1 to 9!"
"So this guy with a fucking green bib is...what? Something? "
As soon as this idea came to his mind, he smashed the thought with a hammer of psychic storm.
Thinking about this problem in front of this idiot is the biggest fucking problem in itself!
"Don't think about it!"
"Don't look at it!"
"Don't..."
"Classmate."
A voice suddenly sounded, and a face entered Lin Yi's sight.
The face was so pale that it looked like it was covered with a thick layer of foundation. The eyebrows were curved, and there was a standard smile on the face that seemed to be made after precise calculation.
……
X023, May 7, 12:02.
In the student restaurant on the first floor of the cafeteria, at the meal purchase window No. 3, in a long queue, the chef wearing a green bib lay upright on the ground like a log, stretched his neck and put his face close In front of Lin Yi's sight.
Lin Yi originally nodded and looked at the floor tiles, but the chef in the green bib actually forced his face in front of him, causing a forced stare!
"WTF?!"
Lin Yi's already shrunken pupils shrank to the size of a needle's eye at this moment!
How virtuous and capable he is, to think that this guy can actually do such an anti-human operation!
"Please! There are students queuing up everywhere, how the hell did you find a way to lie down?!"
When our eyes met, an extremely cold air came from It was born between his internal organs, and then rushed back and forth inside his body.
He felt as if the light around him had dimmed a lot...
Not only did this guy appear in front of him, but... he happened to be lying in his shadow!
"Student, the cafeteria has recently launched a discounted set meal. Every new student has a chance to enjoy the latest dish in the cafeteria for free - spaghetti with tomato meat sauce. Do you want to try it?"
Green The chef in the bib opened his mouth, and his gentle and standardized smile did not make Lin Yi feel comfortable thinking. Instead, he felt as uncomfortable as countless bugs crawling on his body.
Lin Yi's face instantly turned pale, and an indescribable feeling of fear exploded in his mind. His body trembled subconsciously, and his limbs were stiff and cold.
At this moment, he had one last thought in his mind:
"Ignore it!"
"Absolutely! Absolutely! Ignore it!"
"Just pretend he doesn't exist at all!"
He emptied his attention and made himself Although he looked at the chef in the green bib, his eyes gradually became empty.
This is a trick that is widely circulated but few people can learn and put it into practice. It was learned by Lin Yi without a teacher when he was distracted in math class.
The most profound part of this stunt is that it can give people the illusion of thinking deeply while looking at the writing on the blackboard, but in fact the main body has already wandered away.
That's what he's doing now.
Sure enough...
Under extreme circumstances, once he does this, the effect will be far more powerful than thinking about the beautiful legs in black stockings!
Time just stood still...
A layer of fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on Lin Yi's forehead. He suddenly discovered that although his stunts were powerful, there were times when his eyes were sore, but the other party... He was so paralyzed that he seemed unable to blink at all!
"Damn...how should I let him know that I didn't notice him at all?"
Just when Lin Yi was gradually showing signs of decline and felt that he was about to be exhausted mentally and physically, Wei Liang's urging voice came from the front of the team:
"Old Lin, what are you doing? Come up quickly, there is such a big empty space and everyone behind is impatient!"
"Oh, don't you? Are your legs weak?”
Wei Liang rushed to Lin Yi helplessly, grabbed Lin Yi's hand and dragged him towards the front of the team.
"The savior has appeared..." Lin Yi's eyes were empty, but his heart was ecstatic.
Then he noticed that a foot appeared out of thin air and stepped on the face of the chef in the green bib, crushing his eyes like a cigarette butt...
Lin Yi Yi was startled, only to hear Wei Liang's voice continue to come to his ears...
"Oh shit, Lao Lin, be careful, the land seems a bit uneven..."
In just such a moment, Lin Yi pulled out his eyes like a knife, his empty eyes refocused, and then followed the flow of people in front of Wei Liang who followed closely.
Just now because he was looking at the chef in the green bib, the team in front of Lin Yi walked up a little bit. Wei Liang found that Lin Yi didn't follow, so he turned around and called him.
It seemed that there were too many people in line, so Wei Liang did not see the chef in the green bib.
Seeing Lin Yi being taken away by Wei Liang, the chef in the green bib did not show any expression change on his face.
He slowly climbed up from the floor tiles, his frighteningly white face still had the same crooked eyebrows and a normal smile.
The difference from before is that there is an extra shoe print.
He slowly turned his stiff body like a puppet, and his eyes gradually shifted from Lin Yi to Wei Liang.
He looked at Wei Liang's foot that stepped on his face.
On the soles of Wei Liang's shoes, a drop of dark red sticky substance was stained on the soles of Wei Liang's shoes.
Like ketchup.
