Chapter 243 "Step Back"
A exclamation completely attracted Lin Yi's attention, and most of his subconscious desire to fight back suddenly disappeared.
I saw Wei Liang pause and take a step back...
Lin Yi reacted very quickly and quickly stopped to avoid colliding with Wei Liang.
With this false step back, the sunlight that originally fell on Wei Liang outside the window, after losing the cover of his body, shot like a sharp arrow at the imminent green bib chef. On your body!
The green bib chef was very fast, but compared to the light, it was not enough to see, and he was directly hit by the morning light.
"Chi—"
The two half-green bib chefs were unable to dodge and were hit by the sun. It was like a basin of water being poured on hot stones, and it quickly evaporated. A large area of green mist emerged, and the body was sculpted at a speed visible to the naked eye...
As for that half, it was because the speed lagged a little behind, leaving the lower half of the body still in the shadow. Outside, its upper body was hit by the sun and turned into a sculpture. Then it hit the ground with the blessing of gravity, and it was covered with cracks with a "snap".
Half of the body was severely injured, but the chef in the green bib was not fatally injured. The two legs were like chicken claws, and they continued to dig at the ground, and then dragged the broken upper body bit by bit. Click and crawl into the shadow area.
But those cracks were overwhelmed, and they peeled off one piece after another. Finally, they all shattered with a "pop", leaving only half of the pale spine, stained with some ketchup, slowly being Drag it into the shadow area.
The remaining two chefs in green bibs did not act rashly. Their eyes clearly showed strong desire, greed and killing, but they did not dare to do anything arrogant because they were afraid of the sun.
However, Wei Liang seemed to be "oblivious" to the changes in the green bib chef's side. He touched his little head, glanced at the floor tiles at his feet, and said speechlessly: "Oh, I Wrong... Let's keep walking, we should be there soon."
He continued walking forward.
And this operation directly killed the two and a half green bib chefs. In the eyes of a normal and ordinary experience student, it was just Wei Liang who took a step back because he misread the floor tiles.
Just this step, like a butterfly effect, set off a series of chain reactions, trapping and killing the two green bib chefs who were chasing them!
Such an operation made Lin Yi's eyes flicker, as if he had been opened to a new world of operations.
In the eyes of people who don’t understand, Wei Liang is just like that, but in the eyes of Lin Yi, who knows many details, Wei Liang’s operation is full of details, and can even be said to be top-level micro-operation. Accurate calculation, there is a kind of beauty that is ingenious but not workmanlike!
After just a few steps, Wei Liang pointed ahead: "Here, it's over there, but I've never been in. I just swiped my card after taking things at the door."< br>
A few people looked in the direction of Wei Liang's finger and saw a somewhat messy portal in a corner that could not be illuminated by the incandescent lamp in the cafeteria.
There was a door hidden in that portal with a round sign that said "Open for Business". The other door was open to the inside, but inside the door was chaos, with a strange white mist floating around. There was something strange about it. Is it foggy or shiny...
But around the portal, there is a field of light composed of orange light, which looks like an invisible street lamp.
Outside the half-opened door, there are some stalls and shelves, with some different types of biscuits, bread and mineral water arranged haphazardly. It seems that the last-minute food that others don’t want is thrown away casually. Same as over there.
"It is indeed the entrance to the canteen!" Lin Yi exclaimed in a low voice.
Wei Liang said: "Okay, okay, yes, but I advise you not to go in. It looks like someone threw tear gas inside. It's so gray and so discouraging! Let's pick one by one. Three pieces of food, then swipe your card and run!”
As he spoke, he nimbly moved from the light range to the door of the canteen, skillfully selected a roll of biscuits, a loaf of bread and a bottle of mineral water, then went to the shopping terminal nearby and swiped his card.
Then he put down his backpack there, opened the zipper, stuffed the biscuits, bread and shoes together, adjusted the position with difficulty, and finally stuffed the mineral water into the bag, and Don't put mineral water in the side pocket of your backpack.
Lin Yi came to the shelf, and then saw a small sign hanging on the shelf. The sign succinctly wrote -
[A maximum of three items of food can be purchased at a time, each time Each meal period is regarded as 'one'! 】
【It is forbidden to choose foods with ketchup! ! ! 】
[If no shopping terminal is found during checkout, please discard the selected food and return along the original route as soon as possible. If you find any abnormality on the original route, enter the canteen immediately! ! ! 】
【If you violate any of these rules, you will be responsible for the consequences! ! ! 】
Compared with other notices, the words on this sign cannot even be regarded as "codes". They are just "reminders". For Lin Yi, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves and has even entered a canteen. , not much information value at all.
There is only one thing [If you find it during checkout...enter the canteen immediately! ! ! 】 Belongs to new clues.
He imitated Wei Liang and picked out a roll of biscuits, a piece of bread and a bottle of water. After swiping his card, he also followed the same example and stuffed them all into his bag.
In this way, including one roll of biscuits per person yesterday, both of them had two rolls of biscuits, a piece of bread and a bottle of mineral water in their bags.
The rest of the people also swiped their cards.
“If everything is done, shall we leave?” Wei Liang asked.
"Let's go." Lin Yi glanced at his watch.
『7:28』
Everything went smoothly until a few people came to the exit of the student restaurant and opened the plastic curtain without any problems.
Before opening the plastic curtain, Lin Yi observed the entrance to the student passage from two perspectives: before and after the plastic curtain was lifted. , but unfortunately, he did not see Lao Mo during these two observations.
Old Mo... seems to be really gone.
But Lin Yi could not tell whether Lao Mo "does not exist" or "is not here" just from these simple observations.
After leaving the student restaurant, several people disappeared into the student passage.
In a corner of the student restaurant, a pair of eyes slowly withdrew their gaze until their figures disappeared from sight.
This is a boy wearing a dark green art student uniform. He looks to be in his mid-twenties. There is a hideous scar splitting toward the left side of his mouth. He is eating tomatoes bite by bite.
"Even... escaped from there..."
He looked at the looming door of the canteen with some fear, and then suddenly seemed to see something, his eyes revealed With a look of panic, he quickly lowered his head and ate the tomato in silence.
...The orange light of the canteen swayed like an electric current, and the gray-white haze that filled the interior of the canteen fluctuated like blue smoke.
When the light mist fluctuated, it seemed that the outline of some human figure was floating slightly.
This figure is standing at the front door of the canteen. He seems to have been there all the time, but this figure standing at the door is only one step away from several people, but it has not attracted anyone's attention!
Even if Lin Yi glanced at the door a few times, he didn't even have the slightest warning, and didn't even notice anything was wrong.
……
At 7:30 on May 9, 2023, Lin Yi and his party left the notice board in front of the canteen and set foot on the cobblestone road.
When leaving, some late-arriving experience students still rushed into the student passage and headed to the cafeteria to have breakfast.
Glancing at the figures gradually disappearing in the student passage, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
For ordinary people, half an hour is more than enough time to have breakfast, but for them, it seems that they have to worry about whether they can leave when the canteen opens...< br>
Obviously it’s just a meal, but every time it seems like I’m experiencing a perverted version of “Hey! RunningGay's chase game.
"Huh——"
After eating a sweaty breakfast, they finally left the cafeteria, and several people let out a long sigh.
Tian Bufan glanced at Lin Yi and asked: "Old Lin, what did you want to say after 'and' when you were drinking porridge?"
"What 'and'?" Lin Yi Surprised.
“You don’t remember?” Tian Bufan was stunned and said in surprise, “How long has it been since you didn’t remember?”
"Holy crap, who can remember this! Well, let me think about it..." Lin Yi said speechlessly, thinking to himself, Mr. Tian, you are such a ruthless file-loading machine, how the hell can I renew it for you?
"That's when we talked about something very wrong in the cafeteria, and you said something..." Tian Bufan reminded in a low voice, trying to put Lin Yi into the "conversation archive" at that time.
"Okay, I remembered something..." Lin Yi couldn't help covering half of his face, "I remember that at that time, I almost wanted to say, 'And there is something wrong with the people in the cafeteria.' Yes, because I... I actually saw the people queuing up for food at the No. 1 food purchase window and No. 5 food purchase window."
Wei Liang shivered suddenly and jumped up a little in fright. : "Damn it, Lao Lin, even though it's under the bright sky, don't scare me!"
"There's obviously no one there!"
"Ah, yes, yes, there is indeed no one there." Lin Yi nodded repeatedly, then looked at Tian Bufan and said, "Let's talk about the topic of people next?"
Wei Liang: "..."< br>
Then silently covering one's ears and stealing the bell.
Tian Bufan thought for a moment, then nodded: "You tell me."
Lin Yi recounted the scenes he saw.
After hearing this, Tian Bufan couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, rubbed his chin, and muttered: "A group of people are queuing up... There is a ghost behind them... The ghost is different from the person... It's a bit interesting..."
"What do you think?" Lin Yi asked.
Tian Bufan said: "If we just focus on this phenomenon, then maybe there are some problems with the layer they are on, similar to when we had dinner a few days ago, there was also a ' The dummies were queuing up, but we couldn’t see clearly for a while.”
“But the time period is a bit special, and there is a problem in the cafeteria... If we take the problems in the cafeteria into account, maybe it’s not so. It's easy. I need to sort out the information and then analyze and think about it... Let's talk about it at noon or next time."
"Okay, I just want to think about it." Lin Yi nodded. This kind of thing is the most urgent. Just like solving a problem, you must analyze it patiently first.
He changed the question and said: "Speaking of which, have you noticed that there are no chefs in green bibs sneaking around to keep an eye on people today? Those fake people are much more at ease. There are only those at the meal purchase window No. 10." The green bib chef still 'follows the process' to chase us... I don't know what happened to the others."
Tian Bufan thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Generally speaking, for these dependencies. In terms of induction units, there are very few factors that can affect their behavior. Almost all of them need to start from the point of induction..."
"And through what you said about 'him' and 'angels' Judging from the personality differences between the units, "Angel Sculpture", it is very likely that some special being has entered the area where the canteen is located and has had some impact on their "activities". "< br>
“It may also be like the animal world, where lions appear, jackals will retreat.”
“However, these are my conjectures and should not be taken seriously.”
"Could the green bib chef's lurking... be related to Lao Mo's disappearance?"
"It's hard to say..."
Lin Yi was thoughtful, and then Said: "However, the blue bib chefs have become a lot weirder... In theory, they should be 'decent', right?"
"If you insist on dividing the 'pros and cons', you can say that. "They should be at least on the 'school' side, right?" Tian Bufan nodded, "I also feel that they are not normal. I suspect that the ones we saw are most likely transforming into green bib chefs." ..."
"Yes, I think so too." Lin Yi said his observations about the blue bib chef, "They are not normal at all, they look like Ah. It's like floating, and it seems like I don't even have a foot to walk, and I'm still lingering in the shadow area, it's very scary..."
After briefly discussing the question of the blue bib chef, Lin Yi no longer planned to continue this fruitless question.
He was still very concerned about what happened in the dormitory last night, or what happened to Tian Bufan and others who were pretending to sleep, so he said: "That's right..."
"That's right. Alright..." Tian Bufan spoke in unison with him.
"Uh...you said it." Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said.
Tian Bufan then said: "Do you have anything else to say about that dream?"
