Chapter 55 "What if They Don't Eat You?"
Chapter 55 "They don't eat...what about you?"
May 023, X5, 7:17, first floor of the cafeteria, student restaurant.
The afterglow of the setting sun poured in from the entrance of the student cafeteria, spreading all the way behind the chef in the green bib. He stood elegantly in the dim area where the ashes of the setting sun and the incandescent lights intertwined, with an expression of greed and desire on his face that had nothing to do with his posture.
The moment he saw the chef in the green bib, Lin Yi's pupils contracted violently, and then slowly dilated.
He froze suddenly, and the part of him that had just experienced the memory of the encounter with the green-bibbed chef in the gym began to attack him frantically before it died.
"Damn it... Cuckold! What should I do? Run away, or...?!"
He did not act rashly, but slowed down his pace immediately, and then replayed the scene of meeting the chef in the green bib in the cafeteria at noon in his mind...
As he was reviewing the situation, Wei Liang's scream rang in his ears.
"Oh my god! Emma, what the hell...oh my god...!!!"
"Old Lin, you need to think of a solution! Who is that guy...?!"
Under the strong pressure of the sense of crisis, Lin Yi's thinking became extraordinarily agile, and he quickly found a breakthrough.
When Wei Liang's exclamation woke him up, he suddenly interrupted Wei Liang's words - "What is that guy?!"
"That one..." Wei Liang didn't react at first, and subconsciously wanted to signal Lin Yi to look at the chef in the green bib.
"Um, that!" Lin Yi interrupted Wei Liang with an unprecedentedly harsh voice, "The plate recycling area is indeed a little old, perhaps because the staff haven't cleaned it for a long time! But that has nothing to do with us, you know! Please ignore it, okay? Liangzi!"
He widened his eyes, fearing that Wei Liang would not be able to grasp the key hint he wanted to convey.
Wei Liang's rhythm was interrupted twice, and his emotions began to fluctuate with fear.
Fear and passion are sometimes the same thing. No one can continue the emotion of the previous moment after being interrupted twice.
Wei Liang's fear was immediately diluted. As a person who was able to survive two days and leave school in a state of confusion, his "wartime state" broke out at this moment, and he reacted immediately -
Lin Yi's words have hidden meaning!
He immediately thought of the content of the cafeteria rules:
[All canteen staff will stay in the staff activity area and inside the meal purchase window, and will not appear in the student cafeteria area. If you find a staff member in the cafeteria area, please ignore him.]
So Lin Yi wanted him to... ignore it?!
A huge keyword popped up in Wei Liang's mind. He took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and tried his best to keep his voice from trembling. He said righteously, "Lao Lin, you are right... The staff in this cafeteria are too careless in doing their work!"
"Oh, look at the ground, it's dirty too!" Wei Liang said loudly, slowing down his pace and silently retreating behind Lin Yi.
He lowered his head and pretended to look at the stains on the ground, but in fact he was staring at Lin Yi's heels and followed him to the plate recycling area.
Seeing Wei Liang react, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
He gladly accepted Wei Liang's move.
Wei Liang had woken him up several times before, and now it was his turn to help Wei Liang.
So he carried the plate and walked towards the plate recycling area at the same pace. During the whole process, he tried hard to keep himself calm and control his breathing rhythm.
And just when he was reviewing the game, he found three details again:
[1. The chef in the green bib who attacked him last time crawled out of the No. 10 purchase window when he was about to leave the cafeteria.]
[2. The chef I saw at the plate recycling station last time was the one wearing a blue bib, not a green bib.]
[3. Last time when he was waiting in line, he met the chef in the green bib, but he was not attacked. Wei Liang even stepped on his face.]
He also found the most crucial clue in the cafeteria rules, about the green-bibbed chef attacking students:
[When leaving, if you find that you are being watched by the green bib employee and he starts to move towards you quickly, please judge whether to go to the [Student Channel] or the canteen based on your location. ]
So, if he was right, then...
"The cuckold only attacks me when I show my intention to 'leave'."
"So, if I don't leave and just throw away the food, it will be safe?"
The canteen rules do not come out of nowhere. Perhaps because of this, there is a rule that when the canteen auntie serves food with tomato elements, they should "go directly to the tableware recycling area to put all the food into the recycling bin, and then go to other food purchase windows to buy food again."
Apparently, "throwing away the food" is to prevent him from being harmed by the tomato element, while "purchasing new food" is to prevent him from being attacked by the green bib chef!
Just imagine, the green bib chef who crawled out from the distant No. 10 purchase window almost caught him. If he ran away right in front of the green bib chef, it would be impossible for him to escape!
A glimmer of hope!
"Could this be the legendary ray of hope?!"
"If that's the case, then the green-bibbed chef's target shouldn't be me and Ryoko..."
Lin Yi stared at the plate recycling area, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the chef in the green bib.
"His target is fried tomato and eggs! Just like those weird guys behind him!"
Lin Yi found the key to the problem, so he carefully turned his head and whispered to Wei Liang: "Liangzi, I found the problem."
"Damn, do I need to find out? Old Lin, I've just prepared myself mentally. Don't tell me you made a mistake!" Wei Liang cried.
"It should be right."
"'Should'? Never mind, I'm all in with you!"
"That's good, let's pour out the food and get a new one..."
"Okay... Huh? No, we need to start over?!"
"You must have dinner if you have the chance, right? Don't worry, just follow me first. If there is any problem, we will run together. Just follow my instructions."
Wei Liang subconsciously glanced at Lin Yi's eyes, but when he looked up, before he saw Lin Yi's face, he first saw the weird, round face of the chef in the green bib, with a smile on his lips but a crazy and greedy look in his eyes.
He lowered his head silently.
Well, let's just act accordingly.
……
Lin Yi came to the plate recycling area under tremendous pressure. Before he could stand still, the chef in the green bib came up to him impatiently.
It changed its elegant posture and circled around Lin Yi and Wei Liang like a nimble fox. Its face with a strange expression looked back and forth between the two plates, as if it wanted to stick to the scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
It opened its mouth and licked its lower lip back and forth with its tongue, saliva flowing down.
"Yes, yes, that's the taste..." It closed its eyes and greedily sucked in the aroma of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, its eyebrows almost flying up to the sky.
"Just throwing it away like this... What a waste, what a waste..."
It murmured to itself, but never moved its hands or mouth. Seeing that Lin Yi was about to pour out the food, it quickly stretched out its hand: "What a waste, what a waste, give it to me, give it to me, I'll pour it... I'll pour it!"
Lin Yi silently handed the plate to it.
It was smiling, its eyes were curved like crescent moons, and its mouth was stretched to its ears, revealing an extremely crazy expression.
But just when it was about to grab the plate, Lin Yi moved like an Indian camera, causing the plate to move up and down, cleverly avoiding its outstretched hand.
"You...?" The chef in the green bib turned around and stretched his neck to follow Lin Yi's movements.
Lin Yi came to the plate recycling area and poured all the food into the recycling bin. Then, fearing that it was not clean enough, he banged it hard.
Just as Lin Yi was doing this, the chef in the green bib slowly turned around with a look full of strong malice. He stared at Lin Yi's every move viciously, as if he wanted to pull out Lin Yi's tendons and skin him alive.
Lin Yi could also clearly feel a chill running up and down his spine. During the entire process, he observed the green-bibbed chef's every move through the blurry reflection of the alloy shelf.
Whenever there was any unusual movement by the chef in the green bib, he would rush out of the student cafeteria at the first possible moment.
However, the green bib chef did not attack him. It just stared at him and showed a tendency to pounce at any time, but did not take any actual action.
Lin Yi put the dinner plate back on the alloy rack and slowly moved away.
Wei Liang quickly followed suit, and before the chef in the green bib had time to make any move, he perfectly replicated Lin Yi's movements of pouring the food, and then immediately followed Lin Yi's movements.
Until the two of them passed by the chef in the green bib, the chef in the green bib's attention was not diverted back.
It lay on the leftover food recycling bin and reached in to grab the scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
"Tomato... my tomato..."
It finally fished out the scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
It almost buried its weird and hideous face in the scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Saliva flowed from the corners of its grinning mouth, but it never ate the scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
It held the scrambled eggs with tomatoes in both hands, shaking and trembling constantly, until all the eggs in the scrambled eggs slipped into the food recycling bin, and only tomatoes were left in its hands.
Only large slices of tomato were left.
It held the tomato slices with a pious and crazy look, as if it was looking at a fine work of art.
Gradually, it cast its gaze on the people around it, and asked sinisterly in a voice full of temptation:
"They don't eat...what about you?"
I saw that a group of dull and dazed classmates had already gathered in front of it.
The pupils of those students were dilated and their eyes were blank. They staggered along the way and came to the front of the chef in the green bib with one step at a time. They searched for the scent of tomatoes absentmindedly based on some instinctive sense of smell.
Finally, they found the tomato in the green bib chef's hand.
“Swish!!!”
Their originally dilated pupils suddenly gathered together. They stared at Tomato intently. A perverted smile gradually appeared on their expressionless faces.
They crouched down like animals, stretched their necks, and licked and devoured the tomatoes in the hands of the chef in the green bib.
“Slurp…slurp…slurp…”
A faint golden light also appeared in the eyes of those students who were swallowing tomatoes.
As they devoured the tomatoes, their skin gradually lost its color, and some white powdery particles faintly seeped out of their pores.
The chef in the green bib greedily sucked in the air, inhaling all the white powder particles into his nasal cavity through his breathing.
“Hey…hey…hehehe…” The chef in the green bib watched the scene with a smile on his face. There was a cold golden light floating in his eyes.
Gradually, it turned its gaze towards Lin Yi and Wei Liang, and murmured, "Tomatoes...delicious tomatoes...hehehe..."
……
Lin Yi, who was queuing up again with Wei Liang, couldn't help but narrow his eyes as he recalled the scene when he just passed by the chef in the green bib.
He couldn't feel any warmth from the green-bibbed chef, and when he passed by it, he felt like he was passing by a lifeless stone.
When they turned back, they inevitably met those strange classmates, but these people didn't take them seriously at all and kept rushing towards the chef in the green bib.
Lin Yi was certain that their target was also scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
It can be seen that...
"To normal people, the 'tomato' is something they would rather avoid than approach, but for those who are not right, it has a certain fatal attraction!"
"But tomatoes... seem to be hearts?"
"Ketchup turns to plaster..."
"Tomato is the heart..."
"So... ketchup is some kind of mixture of heart blood?"
This inference suddenly popped up in Lin Yi's mind...
Then he broke out in a cold sweat.
It wasn't because he was shocked by the conclusion he came to, but because he found that he had unconsciously "accepted" the "concept" that tomatoes, hearts, blood, and plaster, which were completely unrelated things, were the same thing!
If it were last night, he would have shown some signs of drowsiness when thinking about this aspect.
But now... he was actually fine, even a little hungry, and was still thinking about eating!
"Lao Lin, what should we do next?" Wei Liang asked in a low voice.
"We've been targeted by a cuckold." Lin Yi lowered his voice.
When Wei Liang heard this, he immediately jumped up: "Fuck! Then why did you ask us to come back to eat?! Isn't this just a gift?"
Lin Yi quickly added: "Don't be afraid. According to my experience, the green hat will only attack us when we leave the cafeteria. Didn't you see nothing happened just now?"
After hearing this, Wei Liang thought about it for a while, and then nodded: "It seems to be what you said... It's not you, wait!!"
"Where the hell did you get this kind of experience?!"
Thanks to the book friend "555 Street Light" for the reward! !
