Chapter 33 Daytime is our home ground
Chapter 33 Daytime is our home ground
"Classmate...are you full? Don't you really want to try some spaghetti with tomato and meat sauce?"
"If you don't want to try the spaghetti bolognese, there are other dishes you can try!"
"Just stay..."
"Stay!"
"Stay—"
As light and shadow interweave, an exaggerated smile stretching from ear to ear appeared on the face of the chef in the green bib.
"Hey hey hey..."
His mouth began to open and his smile became increasingly insane.
His pupils dilated slightly, and his eyes were full of madness.
A layer of fine beads of sweat had already seeped out of Lin Yi's forehead. As he was running so fast, even in the student cafeteria where there was no wind at all, his clothes were blown into balloons!
Under the strong wind resistance, he really had the urge to run naked!
“Hehehe…” The green bib chef was getting closer and closer!
Lin Yi clenched his teeth and looked towards the entrance of the student cafeteria unwillingly.
Just a few seconds away!
“Faster! Faster!!”
His roar was almost drowned out by the sound of the wind.
But at this moment, as the distance got closer, a figure suddenly appeared in his shaking vision.
The figure was standing at the exit of the student cafeteria, bathed in the sunlight. From Lin Yi's perspective, it looked like a dark shadow against the light, like a chasm.
"?!" Lin Yi's pupils shrank, but his speed did not slow down at all, "What...?!"
As he got closer to the exit of the student cafeteria, the difference in light brightness began to narrow, and he gradually saw who it was.
"That's... Xu Shunkang?!"
The moment he saw that face clearly, he was so shocked that countless emotions surged in his heart!
At this moment, Xu Shunkang was standing at the entrance of the student cafeteria like a gate god, standing like a milestone between the door of the student cafeteria and the student passage.
"It's Xu Shunkang!"
"Why is he here?!"
Lin Yi was shocked, not knowing why Xu Shunkang appeared here with a baseball bat tightly clenched in his hand, but the urgent sound of wind in his ears made him give up thinking.
Lin Yi used all his strength and rushed towards the door guarded by Xu Shunkang!
Xu Shunkang did not have the playful look he had when he was studying in the classroom. When Lin Yi rushed towards him, his sharp eyes quickly swept over Lin Yi.
Following his keen intuition, he saw Lin Yi's shoes at first sight, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
There was a sticky dark red substance on Lin Yi's shoes. With his pace, it was hard to tell whether it was blood or ketchup.
He slowly tightened his grip on the bat.
But when he saw Lin Yi holding the student ID tightly in his hand, his frown relaxed slightly.
"Hurry! Faster! You're too slow!" Xu Shunkang yelled at him.
Lin Yi sprinted madly and approached the door. He glanced at the sign on the door - the exit of the student cafeteria.
Looking out from the transparent glass at the exit of the student cafeteria, you can also see the [Student Passage] sign at once.
He breathed a sigh of relief and then immediately took a full breath and rushed forward desperately.
"Didn't you fucking eat? Hurry up!" Seeing Lin Yi gasping for breath, Xu Shunkang roared loudly.
"Fuck!" Lin Yi clenched his teeth, and the muscles in his upper and lower jaws almost turned into blocks of iron.
He had already reached his maximum speed, like a dark afterimage, but in Xu Shunkang's eyes he was still as slow as an old lady crossing the road.
"Hehehe - Little Ketchup! Don't go!" There were gusts of wind behind Lin Yi, and the figure of the chef in the green bib seemed to blend into the shadows, approaching Lin Yi at a terrifying speed.
Lin Yi's body was cold, and in a trance he saw a pale hand passing through his shoulder line, but was immediately pulled away by him.
The distance between the two people seemed to be only a body length!
"Exit! Exit!! Charge--" The style of Lin Yi's sprint changed, giving people a distorted feeling that he was roaring and shouting "a bag of rice being carried up several floors".
Xu Shunkang immediately moved half a step aside to let him pass.
"call out--"
Lin Yi rushed out of the student cafeteria.
The moment he passed through the plastic wind curtain, the long-lost warm sunlight reached out to embrace Lin Yi. He was shocked and reminded him:
"Xu Shunkang, behind...!!!"
"Don't worry about what happens next! Let's go!" Xu Shunkang interrupted him. The moment he spoke, he stood back again, blocking the exit of the student cafeteria like a door god!
"I've already said..."
His eyes were fixed on the green-bibbed chef who had twisted into a shadow, and he clenched the bat tightly!
The junction between the palm and the bat made a slight "crunching" sound due to the tight grip.
The muscle lines on Xu Shunkang's arms became three-dimensional as he exerted force, and terrifying power gathered between his arms.
"daytime……"
He swung the bat with one hand and hit the chef in the green bib hard in the face the moment he rushed out of the student cafeteria exit.
“…It’s our home ground!!!”
“Boom!!!!”
A heavy blow, like the home plate of the Milky Way, the air trembled, and an invisible air wave was created around Xu Shunkang!
"roll--"
Xu Shunkang let out a low roar, sank his arms, and poured all his strength into the bat, hitting the chef in the green bib back into the student cafeteria like a baseball!
“Bang… Bang! Bang, bang, bang…”
The chef in the green bib kept breaking the dining chairs, and finally he stopped when he bumped into the students who were chasing Lin Yi and the others like zombies.
The air gradually froze, and the slightly noisy student cafeteria suddenly became dead silent.
Those zombie-like students seemed to smell something. They turned their heads and tilted their necks to look at the chef in the green bib.
Some dark red sticky substance slowly seeped out from under the white chef uniform of the chef in the green bib.
Crazy and insane looks gradually appeared in the eyes of those students. They rushed forward and drowned the green bib chef like a tide.
During this process, none of the other students dared to show any reaction. They ate their meals in silence, but their eating speed increased by who knows how many times.
Xu Shunkang stood at the door of the student cafeteria, watching this scene happen coldly.
He glanced at the bat covered in dark red sticky substance, his eyes flickering.
After a moment's thought, he raised the bat high into the sun's rays.
“Shh…”
A faint dark red mist emerged from the dark red viscous substance, which then hardened and deteriorated at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually turning into some white gypsum-like solids.
Xu Shunkang shook the baseball bat and knocked it against the floor tiles a few times. The white solid immediately turned into powder and floated away.
He carried the bat on his shoulder and glanced at the people in the dark area who were looking at him out of curiosity, with a mocking sneer on his face.
"Heh... a bunch of dirty things."
His eyebrows were slightly curved, and deep in his eye sockets, there was a flash of golden light as brilliant as boiling gold.
...student passage.
Lin Yi wanted to turn around and ask about Xu Shunkang's situation several times, but in the end he chose to abide by the canteen rules:
[Before you enter the [student passage] or reach the canteen, do not stop, do not look back, and do not respond to his call, even if you feel that he is about to catch up with you. ]
To be on the safe side, don't look back before leaving the student passage.
He looked ahead and saw a figure flying along the steps of the student passage with the wind at his feet, as if gliding.
“Ryoko?!”
“This speed… is this fucking cheating?!”
Although the slope of the student passage is not steep, it is a bit too outrageous to accelerate mindlessly without any braking over such a long distance.
Lin Yi's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he felt more and more that Wei Liang had maxed out some weird survival skills.
Although he was shocked, he did not dare to relax at all and quickly chased after Wei Liang.
The two of them quickly rushed out of the student passage, one after the other.
But Wei Liang did not slow down and continued to charge forward...
"Liangzi! Don't run too far! Follow the canteen rules and take off your shoes!" Lin Yi shouted.
Wei Liang's screams were heard not far away:
“I don’t fucking want to run far away ahhhhhh~~~”
“I can’t slow down ahhhhhhhhh~~~~~~~”
Wei Liang shouted and slowed down at the same time. The scene was like a steam locomotive emergency braking, with sparks and lightning all the way.
Eventually he slowed down, but his shoes were smoking and breaking.
Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang's shoes and felt that even if they were not stained with ketchup, they should be thrown away.
Wei Liang panted, with his hands on his waist, his tongue dragging on the ground, and he exhaled a lot of air from his mouth, and a burst of heavy air came out of his forehead: "I can't run anymore... I feel like I have digested all the food I just ate..."
Although he was very tired, he still raised a thumbs up: "Lao Lin... huff huff... I knew I had to rely on you in desperate situations! But your shoes seem to be stained with ketchup too?"
Lin Yi looked down at his feet.
There was indeed ketchup on his right foot, and he quickly realized: "It must have been stained when I kicked it under the table..."
"It's okay, just throw it away if it gets stained." He didn't care.
"Yeah." Wei Liang nodded.
There was nothing much to do with clothes and shoes, as they were all provided in the dormitory. Wei Liang discovered this when he came here last time, so even though they were carrying backpacks this time, they didn't actually bring anything in them.
"Hey wait, Lao Lin, do you think we should return the canteen rules first, or throw the shoes into the trash can first?" Wei Liang asked.
Lin Yi went over the rules in his mind, and then said, "Throw the shoes first."
The canteen rules state:
[After leaving the cafeteria, please take off your clothes immediately and check if there is ketchup on your clothes. If there is, throw the clothes into the nearest trash can. ]
"First" and "nearest" are no joke.
"Just return the rules when you leave."
"Okay." Wei Liang nodded solemnly, and then said, "Oh, by the way... Actually, I think so too."
"..." Lin Yi held his forehead with his hand, "You don't have to emphasize this."
"Oh, I was just afraid that you would think I had no sense of participation!" Wei Liang smiled and nudged Lin Yi.
"I really underestimated you, Liangzi." Lin Yi shrugged.
The two chatted and laughed while looking for the nearest trash can, but after walking around, they couldn't find any trace of the trash can.
Lin Yi couldn't help but mutter: "How strange... I can't find a trash can."
"It's really strange." Wei Liang nodded seriously.
“Haven’t you ever seen a trash can before?”
"No."
"No way, you've been here for seven days and you haven't thrown away garbage once?" Lin Yi asked in surprise.
Wei Liang corrected him, "Don't say that. Strictly speaking, it was fourteen meals in five days. I didn't come to the cafeteria at all for the last two days... I almost passed out from hunger."
"So what you're saying is that you came to the cafeteria fourteen times, but never took out the trash once?"
Wei Liang glared at Lin Yi and couldn't help but said, "Hey, it's normal not to throw away the garbage! If you don't go to the canteen to buy food, you basically don't need to throw away the garbage, right?"
"Besides, when I came here before, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary. I just lowered my head and queued up to eat. I didn't care about any noise and left after dinner!"
“Where is the trash can needed?”
When Lin Yi heard this, he thought of Wei Liang's top single-player fighting style, was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "What you said... seems to be right."
"Hey, it's okay!" Wei Liang patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, "Don't blame yourself for being a little dumber than me. After all, I'm just a novice!"
"Yeah." Lin Yi nodded, and suddenly said, "Hey, I found it!"
But he immediately frowned.
Wei Liang quickly looked in the direction Lin Yi was looking, and sure enough, he saw a trash can. His brows suddenly furrowed.
The location of the trash can was actually at the entrance of the [employee passage].
"Lao Lin, the location of the trash can... seems a little off!" Wei Liang murmured.
Lin Yi was silent. After what happened just now, he didn't have a good impression of the cafeteria staff.
He lowered his head and flipped through the cafeteria rules, looking for the rules related to [Employee Passage].
"In the cafeteria rules, there are only two things that actually mention [employee passage]..."
"One is to let students go through the [student passage] to enter the cafeteria instead of the [staff passage], and the other is..."
If you accidentally violate the above rules, please leave through the [Student Channel] as soon as possible, then immediately enter the [Staff Channel] and ask for help from the blue bib staff (note that they are blue bibs, not green bibs, and they are wearing badges) or security guards. You must show your student ID in advance before asking for help.
At any time, please absolutely! Unconditionally! Trust! Security! 】
"So... theoretically speaking, the employee passage is relatively safe, but entry is not allowed if the conditions are not met."
"But the trash can is right at the entrance to the [employee passage], and I don't need to go into the [employee passage], so it shouldn't be a problem if I go there to throw away the trash."
After all, the cafeteria rules clearly state that ketchup-stained clothing should be thrown into the trash.
"Old Lin, what should we do? Should we... throw it away?" Wei Liang was hesitant and looked at Lin Yi for help.
After thinking about it, Lin Yi nodded and said, "Go, but we will leave once we get lost, and don't step into the boundary of the [Employee Passage] at all!"
"Okay!" Wei Liang responded seriously, then he looked down at his feet because he suddenly thought of something.
After Lin Yi helped him kick away the pervert who was licking his feet, he raised his left foot and kicked him a few more times, so if I guessed correctly...
"Holy crap!" Wei Liang asked the heavens speechlessly, "I knew it!"
As expected, his left shoe was stained with ketchup because of the last hit!
"I ate all my shoes while eating! My Feikun limited edition sneakers!"
"Wuwuwu~~~~" Wei Liang covered his face with his hands and shed two lines of tears.
