Chapter 53 “Other” Channel


Chapter 53 "Other" Passage

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something!

He stared at the sign, and then jumped on it like crazy before his whole body became limp and weak.

"Boom..."

He fell heavily to the ground, and his body could not even make the final leap!

But he grabbed the pole of the sign.

"Caught...caught! Caught!!"

"Drink——"

He burst out the last bit of strength and dragged himself to the notice Under the card pole.

He hugged the pole tightly with one hand, and then put the other hand into his pocket!

He groped for a while and finally found a thick booklet.

He tried his best to control his trembling hands, took the booklet out of his pocket, and then tremblingly opened the last part-the campus map.

Before his vision completely dimmed, he found the notice board and the location of the canteen on the map——

"Yes! That's right!! The canteen is here! It's here !”

He slowly moved the map away from his eyes, as if he were scratching off the anti-counterfeiting ink on a scratch-off ticket.

The scenery behind the sign reappeared in front of him.

The cliff disappeared, and a square canteen lay quietly in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The cafeteria is always there.

The cafeteria is always there.

And he was still holding the sign pole.

Lin Yi's tense body suddenly relaxed, and he felt that the heavy burden that had been weighing on his body instantly dissipated.

He let go of the pole and lay down on the road paved with clear cobblestones. He looked at the normal, innately regular and logical world in front of him and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He breathed heavily, letting the air mixed with the earthy fragrance tell him that the crazy, depressing and twisted world just now, full of extreme malice towards him, was just a hallucination of his!

The indescribable feeling of terror disappeared completely with his breathing.

It wasn't until that feeling completely disappeared that he was extremely convinced that he was back, he was really back.

"I found it! I found it!"

"My idea is right! It's right!"

"Reference objects are relative, and twisted cobblestones can no longer be used as reference objects. The only real sign that has never been distorted is the absolutely correct reference."

Under the gaze of Wei Liang who could not understand, he covered his face and laughed. .

"Hahahahahahaha..."

He laughed so loudly that he was tired.

Then, he saw the golden sky and yellow clouds. Under the clouds, was Wei Liang's face overlooking him with a thick look of confusion.

"Liang... son?" He was stunned on the spot, and these two words popped out of his mouth.

Wei Liang looked down at him with confusion on his face: "Ah, it's me, what the hell happened to you just now?"

"Uh... just now..." Lin Yi held the ground and started again He sat up, took a deep breath, blew off the dust on the campus map, carefully folded it and put it at the end of the student rules, and put it back in his pocket.

Then, he looked at Wei Liang and said seriously: "You definitely don't want to know what I just experienced."

He stood up holding on to the pole of the sign.

Looking at Lin Yi's embarrassed and weird look and strange behavior, Wei Liang's expression changed from puzzled to very serious. After maintaining a very serious expression for three seconds, he Finally he shrugged his shoulders, frowned and asked with concern:

"Old Lin, are you... okay?"

"What you did just now was very strange."

"Oh?" Lin Yi also showed some curiosity about his behavior just now, "In your eyes, what did I just do?"

Wei Liang wanted to say a few flirty words, but the atmosphere did not allow it. So he said seriously: "You just fell behind me, and then inexplicably bumped into the signboard."

"Your appearance shocked me. If I hadn't reacted quickly, Stop your hand, you have eaten half of my combos today."

Lin Yi's mouth twitched when he heard it: "Uh... Isn't that what I did just now? ...Just like that?”

Wei Liang raised his head and said speechlessly: “No, what else do you want? You don’t know what to do?”

Lin Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the cobblestone road under his feet.

The roads are normal.

He looked around again.

The surroundings are also normal.

"So...what happened just now?"

"Hey, forget it, forget it!" Wei Liang waved his hand, then hit his chest, interrupting his thoughts, "Let's do the work, let's do the work!"

Wei Liang said and walked to the notice board On the shelf below, I grabbed a copy of the Canteen Rules and put it in my pocket, then walked straight towards the entrance of the student passage.

Lin Yi glanced at Wei Liang's back, his brows gradually furrowed.

He suddenly thought of something and looked down at his watch.

17:20.

"3 minutes..."

He narrowed his eyes.

I don’t know if it was because he was wandering on the edge of madness and chaos. He felt that he had just experienced an extremely long and obscure period of time.

But this period of time is only 3 minutes.

"Too short..."

Short and long, it was like...eternal time was cut into a slice, and he fell and sank in that slice.

……

X023 May 7, 17:21, in front of the canteen sign.

Lin Yi took a copy of the canteen rules from the shelf over the notice board and put it in his trouser pocket. Then he stood there and looked at the canteen carefully and carefully.

His expression was extremely focused and solemn, as if he wanted to imprint the appearance of the cafeteria into his soul.

After watching like this for more than ten seconds, he realized that he was really going to fall behind, so he quickly raised his feet to catch up with Wei Liang's back.

However, when he crossed the signboard and took only a few steps, the vague feeling of resistance that he had almost forgotten seemed to peek out from the shadows again. Like a devil's claw, it gently scratched his body.

He stopped and turned his attention to the canteen again.

He felt that this cafeteria... might be different to him.

In other words, he has become different about the canteen...

The cafeteria in the setting sun was stained with a thin layer of red, like the towers that had been baptized in wars in the old times, rooted in the deep pits.

The mountains and forests around the canteen are like maple trees planted all over the mountains and plains, glowing with a faint red light. The evening wind urges the mist to climb out of the mountains and forests, and move towards the place where the canteen is located little by little. Locations are coming.

"Hmm? This negative first floor...is there fog?"

Lin Yi suddenly noticed that the first negative floor of the cafeteria was built in a pit, so it had already accumulated one floor. The fog...

It was as if someone had pushed the fog out of the mountain forest and driven it into the negative first floor. "Is it because of the geographical location?"

He narrowed his eyes, but his reason told him not to think about this problem from a "normal" perspective.

“Let’s settle the meal first, and then discuss this issue with Mr. Tian in the evening.” His intuition told him that in Tian Bufan’s “cognition”, there must be more that he didn’t know and needed to know urgently. secret.

He then ran after Wei Liang’s back.

But he found that Wei Liang was standing not far from the entrance of the student passage, looking at something not far ahead.

"Liangzi?"

Having gained some experience, he did not pat Wei Liang on the shoulder, but called him first.

Wei Liang's body trembled, as if he was interrupted by someone's voice while he was thinking.

"Old Lin, I'm fine." Wei Liang said.

"Ah? What happened to you just now?" Lin Yi asked.

"emmm...it's okay, nothing happened." Wei Liang confirmed.

He paused, then shook his head and said: "Even if there is, it has nothing to do with us, you can see for yourself..."

Lin Yi immediately looked in the direction of Wei Liang's finger - - I saw students in groups of three or three, their heads held together, walking slowly and unhurriedly, and walked into an unmarked passage.

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched hard: "Other passages?"

He suddenly understood the meaning of Wei Liang's words and quickly looked away.

"I was careless, I should have walked with my head down like before!" Wei Liang muttered in a low voice, his tone full of regret, "This time I saw something more fucking!"

Lin Yi He didn't pay attention to what Wei Liang was muttering. The content of the canteen rules immediately came to his mind:

[Students entering and exiting the canteen are asked to take the student passage to the restaurant on the first floor (there are clear student passage signs at the entrance and exit of the passage) ), do not take the employee passage, and do not take the passage without any signs.

If you find someone entering a passage other than the student passage, and there is a security guard nearby, you can inform the security guard immediately, or you can choose to ignore it. 】

At this time, it is undoubtedly better to ignore it.

But when he looked back, he suddenly realized one, no, many problems.

First of all, when he was having lunch, he watched Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang enter the canteen through other passages.

According to the gym rules, he got another piece of information: sports students do not have student ID cards.

But the sign in front of the cafeteria clearly stated: [It is prohibited to enter the cafeteria without a student ID card! 】

So...

"Athletic students actually belong to the category of people who enter the cafeteria without a student ID card."

"Their behavior obviously violates the warnings given on the notice board, but...they don't do anything. It didn't happen!"

"This...does it mean that sports students can not abide by the canteen rules?"

He thought that Xu Shunkang had specifically emphasized that he did not need to follow the canteen rules.

"Or... the people walking through the student passage are 'students', and the physical education students no longer belong to the scope of 'students', but belong to 'others', so they use 'other passages' to enter the cafeteria?" 》

"Or... 'No students are allowed to enter the cafeteria without their student ID cards', does it really mean 'Students are not allowed to enter the cafeteria without their student ID cards'?"

"Because only students have student ID cards."< br>
"So the sports students do not abide by the cafeteria rules, or in other words, they abide by another set of rules for entering and exiting the cafeteria...maybe it has something to do with other passages."

"But..."
< br>Those who took other channels just now were not all sports students.

The athletic students wear uniform blue and white striped sportswear, even the eldest student is no exception.

But those people just now... were obviously not wearing sportswear.

Lin Yi briefly recalled the appearance of those people and found that they did not have the energy of physical education students, and they were also somewhat different from those classmates who went to physical education classes together.

They gave him a strange feeling, as if they were slow and numb because they had been thinking about the problem, and they seemed to be in a trance because they had been hit by some kind of blow.

Overall, they are obviously not normal.

He thought of the girl wearing a sailor uniform with a hairpin he saw at noon. He remembered that the girl also walked through another aisle.

And that girl... belonged to the group of people who followed the fake female teacher away in the mist!

"They are not sports students, and they are not normal students, but they still need to go to the cafeteria to eat!"

"Can they go to the cafeteria to eat without a student ID card?"

"Wait! So... people without student ID cards can enter the cafeteria through other channels, while 'students' with student ID cards can enter the cafeteria through the 'student channel'!"

"Student ID card! Student ID card?"

Lin Yi thought of something in an instant, and a picture flashed through his mind. When he obtained the student ID card and the rules of the teaching building, the head teacher had said extremely seriously Tell him:

["This is your student ID card. Remember to keep it. If you lose it, please come to me as soon as possible."

"This booklet is the "Code of the Teaching Building" , just wait until you get to the classroom and take a look.”

“Remember, for your own safety, both the student code and the building code must be followed. At any time, if you encounter two conflicts with each other. Rules, then make your own judgment based on your current identity and environment.”

...

"You don't need to know what I call you, you just need to remember this badge and uniform."

"From now on, your class teacher is not me, but wearing this badge A person with a badge marked with the number 'Class Teacher-B2-039'"

"And you, Lin Yi, you are not my student. My student is holding the student ID card in your hand. "

"So remember my words, from now on, please keep your student ID card. You can talk to others about your student ID card, but never give it to others at any time. ”

"Do you understand?"]

It was not until this moment that he suddenly woke up and fully understood the meaning of the head teacher's words.

Obviously, in this school, identity is not just as simple as it appears on paper - it is not as simple as he predicted at the beginning.

[The school will continue to provide you with corresponding help to solve your troubles until you get your student ID card back or confirm that you are unable to get it back. 】

During the seven-day experience period, Lin Yi will spend his time as a "student". Once he loses his student ID card, he will no longer be a "student", but..." Others”!

Therefore, the three channels to enter the cafeteria actually correspond to three identities - normal students with student ID cards, "employees" with ID badges of employees in the cafeteria or campus, and "others" without any identification!

And "other people"... this broad and vague concept seems to be terrifyingly complicated.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the heavy echo coming from deep in the employee passage, the kind of echo that even Xu Shunkang seemed to be affected to a certain extent.

Could it be that if someone whose identity does not match the passage comes to the wrong passage, it will cause that kind of terrifying mutation?

"That's probably the case!"

Lin Yi recalled the appearance of the aunt who cooked in the cafeteria. In his established impression, let alone the aunt in the cafeteria, even if the King Kong Gourd Baby walked into the employee passage, he would probably be slapped before leaving.

If a specific "identity" could not be protected to a certain extent on corresponding occasions, then he couldn't understand why the cafeteria aunt could enter such a scary employee passage.

Unless she is not human.
