Chapter 56: The cafeteria lady without a name tag (1000 words more!)
"Noon." Lin Yi replied calmly.
Wei Liang: “…”
"So..." He looked at Lin Yi with a strange expression, "You told me to run away at noon because of this? Wasn't it because those weird guys surrounded us?"
"Almost..." Lin Yi nodded. "By the way, haven't you been trying to avoid questions in this area? How come..."
Wei Liang's mouth twitched slightly: "The green guy has hit me in the face, how can I avoid it? I'll just understand a little bit of this small part, anyway, it's within the rules..."
"So how did you run at noon?"
Lin Yi said without hesitation: "Run away."
"Run...hard?" Wei Liang asked suspiciously, "I'm just asking, can you say something from the world of the living?"
Lin Yi said: "Just run away forcefully. I'll run in front and he'll chase me from behind. If we get caught..."
"Then hehehe?" Wei Liang continued.
Lin Yi: “…”
"Please, can you have a bit of the tension of surviving a disaster?"
Lin Yi was speechless in his heart, but when he thought that this was proposed by Wei Liang, he suddenly understood.
After all... this is very Wei Liang.
"That's not right..." Wei Liang asked doubtfully, "I remember that at noon, there was a chef in a blue bib at the plate recycling area?"
"You remembered it right." Lin Yi said affirmatively, "The guy in the blue hat didn't chase me. The one who chased me was 10..."
He suddenly realized that Wei Liang might not want to know about the information in window No. 10, so he changed his words and said, "A green hat appeared from somewhere else. There was a distance between it and me. It chased me, and in the end, I was just a little bit away from being caught up by it."
"If Xu Shunkang hadn't happened to show up, I might have been hurt."
At this point, a dynamic hallucination subconsciously emerged in Lin Yi's mind -
At noon, he was scratched by the green-bibbed chef when he rushed out of the student cafeteria. Blood flowed from his wound, and the blood first turned into ketchup under the sunlight, and then the ketchup turned into a white plaster-like substance...
"this?!"
He shook his head to dispel the hallucination and suddenly came to his senses.
"Damn...why do I have such a strange association?"
Wei Liang naturally didn't know what Lin Yi was thinking. Hearing this, he suddenly realized, "No wonder Xu Shunkang found me here so accurately. It turned out that you brought the ghost... no, you lured him here."
"Thanks to you, otherwise we would have died next to the trash can..."
"So you're saying that at noon, the distance was far, so we could run if we tried, but now the distance is too close, so we can't run even if we want to?"
Lin Yi replied: "Yes, that's one aspect."
“How fast can these guys in green bibs run?”
"I feel like... it's not the speed a normal person should have. It starts slowly but accelerates quickly, like having a turbocharger on its butt."
Wei Liang paused for a moment after hearing this and said, "So what is your plan...?"
"If the hard way doesn't work, try the soft way." Lin Yi said in a deep voice, "I think he has already set his sights on us. It's not realistic to just leave like this... But I found that when a cuckold wants to attack someone, he will wait until that person is about to leave the cafeteria before taking action."
"Let's eat first, fill our stomachs, and buy some time to think of a solution."
Wei Liang hesitated and said, "What do you think? Can we not sit down after we get our meal and walk around the student cafeteria... Since there are those weird guys in the cafeteria, there should be some athletes, right?"
"Didn't Xu Shunkang help you at noon? If we can find him, we should be able to be saved, right?"
"Or the long-legged boss you just recognized?"
"Didn't the sports students come in through another passage? They must be eating in the student cafeteria, right?"
Lin Yi thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't think it's realistic."
"The canteen rules say,
[While waiting in line to buy food and eating, do not pay attention to any communication requests from strangers around you. If you are traveling with someone, please focus on communicating with him and ignore any abnormal situations around you. ]
So, I feel like if I approach them in the cafeteria, they probably won’t help me.”
"If it were us, if a sports student came to us during dinner, would you believe what they said?"
Wei Liang said, "Not necessarily! Sports students don't read the canteen rules, so they don't need to abide by them, right?"
"Besides, the cafeteria rules say 'any stranger'. You, the boss, and Xu Shunkang are not strangers, right?"
"I think we can try to find it." Wei Liang looked at Lin Yi, "What do you think?"
After hearing this, Lin Yi was silent for a moment and thought about it.
He glanced down at his watch.
17: 59.
"The street lights on campus will soon be turned on. It looks like... there's probably no chance for us to leave the cafeteria before the sun sets..."
He sighed and looked outside the cafeteria.
But as soon as he raised his head, he found that the chef in the green bib was standing in the crowd in front of his sight, with his head lowered and looking at him sinisterly, with no expression on his pale face.
"Depend on!!"
His pupils contracted.
“I’m being watched!”
He was shocked for a moment, but as the queue in front of the food window moved forward, the chef in the green bib that had appeared in his sight suddenly disappeared.
"this……?!"
The ghostly figure made him wonder if he was dazzled for a moment. Then he suppressed the thought of looking for the chef in the green bib and continued to look outside the student cafeteria.
The light outside the student cafeteria has gradually dimmed, and the embers of the setting sun are spread at the exit of the student cafeteria, like the last sparks of burnt charcoal flying around.
Suddenly, through the glass of the student cafeteria, he found a chef in a blue bib standing there, maintaining the original welcoming posture, but his face was facing the position where he was now.
This chef in the blue bib has been keeping an eye on him since he entered the student passage?!
The blue bib chef's eyes were empty, as if he was petrified there.
Lin Yi felt his limbs go cold. In just one meal, he received the attention of both the chef in the green bib and the chef in the blue bib? !
He just wanted to ask, what is my virtue, what is my fucking virtue? !
He silently withdrew his gaze.
Then, continuing Wei Liang's words, he said, "We can look for it...but we must reserve enough time for dining and leaving."
"Look for it. If you can't find it, forget it."
Wei Liang let out a long sigh, patted his chest and said, "That's good, that's good. I was really worried that you would insist on having your own way."
"Don't worry, Liangzi, we're a team." Lin Yi patted Wei Liang's shoulder.
The two of them followed the team and moved forward slowly.
Soon, we arrived at the window for purchasing meals.
学生餐厅的一楼一共是1~5号购餐窗口，为了避开3号购餐窗口，他们跳过了2和4号购餐窗口，排在了1号购餐窗口的队伍上。
The employee in charge of serving meals at the No. 1 window was still an old lady. This time, Lin Yi stood in front of Wei Liang. Before serving the meal, he took a special look up and down at the old lady's clothes in the cafeteria.
The lady in the cafeteria was wearing a uniform white chef uniform and a blue bib. The number on her badge was...
It’s not you, wait… Lin Yi’s eyes suddenly widened and his heart skipped a beat.
"No... Where's your fucking 'name tag'?!"
This cafeteria lady doesn’t have a name tag on her chest!
Lin Yi wanted to curse.
“Come on…it’s only the second day, and we’ve only been in school for 24 hours at most! Can you guys be a little more normal?”
"Student, what do you want to eat?" asked the cafeteria lady in a blue bib.
Lin Yi looked at her with some confusion. Although he could not sense anything unusual, he knew very well that people without badges could never be trusted.
Wei Liang also looked at Lin Yi with some doubts, but he did not urge Lin Yi, but first glanced at Lin Yi quietly. When he found that Lin Yi was not "dozing" like before, he felt more at ease. He also understood that at this time, any abnormal behavior of Lin Yi had a reason.
He then secretly glanced at the cafeteria lady.
From his perspective, the cafeteria lady's upper body was normal, but her lower body was very stiff, as if... it was inconvenient to move.
Wei Liang felt a chill in his heart, but he immediately took a deep breath and told himself that the cafeteria lady just had difficulty walking...that's all.
Lin Yi did not rush to respond to the cafeteria lady's words, but pretended to be thinking, pretending that he had not decided what to eat.
The lady in the cafeteria couldn't help but urge him, "Young man, you've been waiting in a long line, and you don't want to eat anything. There's a group of people waiting to get food behind you! How about eating something first? How about this green pepper beef fillet?"
As she spoke, she took a spoonful of beef tenderloin with green peppers and motioned for Lin Yi to take a look.
Lin Yi took a look and found that it was indeed beef fillet with green peppers, but he had a hunch - it was still beef fillet with green peppers now, but if he flipped the spoon later, a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes might be revealed.
Sure enough, the cafeteria lady shook her wrist, and the surface of the green pepper beef fillet began to peel off, revealing a hint of scarlet tomato-like food...
An ominous premonition slowly spread out. Under the influence of this feeling, Lin Yi even felt that the light inside the meal purchase window had become a little dimmer...
But the cafeteria auntie doesn't seem to be aware of this problem.
He quickly glanced at the incandescent light inside the No. 1 meal purchase window. If the light flickered, he would immediately pull Wei Liang and sprint out of the student cafeteria.
But the green-bibbed chef who was watching them closely might attack them directly, and at this distance, they would basically have no way of escaping.
But when he took a look at the incandescent lamp, he found that there was nothing wrong with it.
"Huh..." He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the incandescent lamp is fine...
He then withdrew his gaze, thinking about how to get his meal by bypassing the cafeteria auntie, but when his eyes moved down again, he suddenly discovered...the cafeteria auntie was not alone.
Behind the cafeteria auntie, there is another person hiding, a person who looks exactly like this cafeteria auntie!
This lady working in the cafeteria had a badge with the words "Chef-0154" on her chest, but at the same time, she was also wearing a green bib!
"Two identical people! Standing there like shadows?!"
Lin Yi widened his eyes and took a deep breath.
"What's going on?" He shuddered suddenly and then his eyes flashed suddenly.
After this flash, the cafeteria lady with the green bib that he saw a moment ago suddenly disappeared again...
This strange visual hallucination is like being punched in the eye, causing color difference and double vision.
He rolled his eyes and looked at the cafeteria lady again - no name badge!
“Still no badge!”
"What the hell was that 'Chef-0154'?"
It's impossible for Vision to be hallucinating to this extent, right?
"Hey, are you going to get your meal or not?" Lin Yi's hesitation annoyed the students in the back, who couldn't help but urge him, "Eat if you want or not, get out of here. Don't you think others don't want to eat if you're just hesitating?"
Wei Liang's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but remind Lin Yi to get food.
But a layer of sweat had already appeared on Lin Yi's forehead.
The food at window number 3 just now was not right, but it was at least from "Chef-0391". But this food now... he had no idea whether it was prepared by a human or a ghost!
Moreover, ever since he realized that there was something wrong with the cafeteria auntie, he never "accepted" any "communication request" from her. He was watching and observing, but he just didn't respond to her.
Suddenly, he noticed that the light at the No. 1 purchase window had dimmed again...
Then, a chill spread from the bottom of his heart...
He shuddered suddenly, and his keen intuition told him that something wrong had appeared!
Just as this information emerged in his mind, he suddenly noticed that the door behind the No. 1 purchase window was open.
"!!!" His heart sank.
He clearly remembered that at noon, window No. 3 was completely closed!
In other words...something did go in and out of Window No. 1!
At this moment, he felt as if someone was looking at him in his field of vision - probably in the corner of his eye!
He paid a little more attention and concentrated a little, but the next moment he was frightened to the point of nearly losing his soul.
He found a chef in a green bib squatting in the shadow of the cafeteria lady. The chef in the green bib was curled up there, like the little boy in a curse, with his head lowered, but casting an extremely cold gaze on him.
Staring at him intently.
“Fuck…”
Lin Yi was so frightened that his back and limbs felt cold. He staggered and almost fell down, but fortunately he grabbed the windowsill of the food purchasing window in time and did not show any abnormality.
Listening to the increasingly noisy urging voices, looking at the cafeteria lady without a name tag and the weird chef in a green bib, Lin Yi suddenly came up with an idea and shouted to the cafeteria uncle who was preparing tableware behind the No. 1 meal purchase window: "Hey, uncle over there! Can you help me get some rice?"
The uncle in the cafeteria was startled, and trotted over as if he had been pardoned, then took out a new plate and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Lin Yi quickly took a look.
Blue bib, badge number "Chef-0105".
Apart from being a little anxious and irritable, there was no problem.
He quickly pointed and said, "These are the three."
"Oh yeah, don't flip the spoon."
The uncle in the cafeteria froze for a moment, then said helplessly while serving the food: "It won't work without shaking... Young man, hurry up and eat."
After saying that, he shook the spoon.
Just as he was stirring the spoon, Lin Yi discovered that the chef in the green bib, who had been huddled in the shadow of the cafeteria auntie, had now laid down on the food grid, and had taken out some scrambled eggs with tomatoes from somewhere, then reached out to put them into the rice spoon.
The uncle in the cafeteria didn't notice her at all, but his flipping of the wok cleverly avoided the scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
He put the food on the plate and handed it to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi let out a long sigh and took the plate.
He whispered to Wei Liang quickly, "Liangzi, come with me quickly!"
Wei Liang was startled and said subconsciously: "Hey, I don't eat beef!"
"Then hurry up! Quickly!" Lin Yi said.
“Oh oh oh…” Wei Liang quickly ordered the food.
The uncle in the cafeteria lived up to his expectations and quickly served Wei Liang another meal. During the whole process, Lin Yi stared closely at the chef in the green bib. Seeing that she tried to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes several times but failed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Wei Liang take the plate, he was completely relieved. He walked to the card machine and swiped his student ID like drawing a sword.
But when he turned around, he suddenly found a box of milk on his plate.
His movements froze for a moment...
He quickly recalled whether he had taken the box of milk subconsciously after swiping his student ID, or...
His eyes moved slowly, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a pair of leather shoes, white trouser legs, and... a blue bib.
The chef in the blue bib who likes to swap milk at noon appears here again!
And this time, he took the initiative and put a carton of milk on his plate!
but……
"Doesn't he like to put tomatoes? Why didn't he follow the routine this time and put milk?"
"I remember you like drinking milk... don't forget to drink it." The chef in the blue bib reminded with a professional smile on his face.
"Fuck...!" Lin Yi cursed in his heart, but still did not respond to the words of the chef in the blue bib.
The blue bib chef didn't seem unhappy either, he just looked at his face quietly.
"It's okay... as long as it doesn't contain tomato elements." Lin Yi said this in his mind. During this time, he repeatedly confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the milk, and then he planned to step aside first.
But at this moment, Wei Liang swiped his student ID and then carefully picked up the plate with both hands.
But at this moment, Lin Yi happened to see that the chef in the blue bib suddenly stuffed a tomato into Wei Liang's hand.
Wei Liang, who had been on high alert the whole time, didn't even realize that he had a tomato in his hand!
Not only did he not react, he also very naturally put the tomato on the plate, and then went to pick up the plate again.
