Chapter 83 The cafeteria lady with blue and green bibs is the same person
"It's just to target those inhuman classmates."
"After you tell the security guards about this, they should go into other passages. If they find that the students are not human, they should deal with them, just like they did with the sculpture last night."
"And if the transformation pathway I speculated is not problematic in the general direction, then they may also show a characteristic close to sculpture when the layers fall off. For example, after they are attacked by security guards, the blood flowing from the injured parts will turn into ketchup, and their hands and feet will turn into plaster... and so on, which are counterintuitive changes."
"Therefore, in order to avoid any confusion in our understanding, the following sentence is included in the canteen rules:
[If you choose to report to the security guard, please leave the cafeteria immediately after the report is completed. Do not stay and do not be curious about the security guard's next actions.]"
"The purpose is to leave immediately after we finish our report so as not to see anything we shouldn't see."
"I haven't found any other information about the channel yet. What about you? If not, let's move on to the employee issue."
"No... No, there is something else!" Lin Yi was about to say that there was nothing else, but immediately thought of the trash can placed at the entrance of the employee passage.
What he wanted to talk about was certainly not the trash can, but the horrifying noise coming from the staff passage that seemed to lead to the cafeteria on the underground first floor.
However, when he finished speaking, Tian Bufan said regretfully: "I have noted this point, but I have not obtained any relevant information about the cafeteria's underground first floor and the gymnasium's basement."
“Until I find the right way, I must have enough respect for these places.”
"However, since you mentioned the trash can, I do have an idea."
"As for the trash can..." Lin Yi pondered, "The trash can should be a tool used to recycle food containing tomato elements. The final recycling destination should be the cafeteria. It is placed over there in the staff passage, perhaps to make it easier for the cafeteria staff to take it away."
"Eh! If that's the case..." Lin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Could the underground first floor of the cafeteria be the area for processing tomato elements?"
Tian Bufan said: "It's possible."
Lin Yi was surprised and said, "Mr. Tian, you were not like this before."
Tian Bufan was slightly stunned: "What?"
Lin Yi paused: "Nothing."
He was staring at the ceiling and couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"Mr. Tian's information channel... is definitely problematic!"
Tian Bufan, who was lying on the other bed, frowned and remained silent: "..."
"So... continue?" he inquired.
Lin Yi's voice came from the bed diagonally opposite: "Speak, of course, continue speaking."
He glanced at the time.
23: 01.
"There's still one hour left..."
"No matter what Mr. Tian's intelligence channels are, at least what he can confirm is correct."
"Speaking of this, we have to mention the food problem in the cafeteria." The issue of the trash can was only mentioned briefly, and even Tian Bufan did not have much to say, which means that either the problem is that simple, or there is insufficient information.
Tian Bufan said, "The dining window, the food, and the staff are closely related. Just tell me what you think of. I'll see if there's anything to add."
"Okay." Lin Yi responded, and then while recalling the problem with the cafeteria, he said, "I have only been to the first floor of the student cafeteria so far."
"There are six dining windows in the student cafeteria, namely, dining windows one to five and a dining window number ten hidden in a dark area without lights."
"I will talk about the issue with the number 10 window later. Let's talk about the issues with the first few first."
"In the five food ordering windows I saw, each window was staffed by three chefs in blue bibs."
"If a fourth chef appears, then he must be the chef with a green bib." This is the problem Lin Yi discovered when he repeatedly served meals. "And I think the chef with a green bib must have been transformed from the chef with a blue bib."
"I don't know if it was my illusion or what, but I once saw two cafeteria ladies who looked exactly the same at a food purchase window. One of them was wearing a green bib and the other was wearing a blue bib."
"The cafeteria lady with the blue bib didn't have a name badge, but she was serving food; the cafeteria lady with the green bib had a name badge, but she was mixing tomato scrambled eggs into the food served by the cafeteria lady with the blue bib."
"I had a gut feeling from the beginning that they were the same person."
"And just now, I became more certain of this judgment."
"They are the same person, but because of the contamination, they fell off a layer. The cafeteria lady with the green bib that I saw was the same state as the cafeteria lady with the blue bib in that abnormal layer."
Tian Bufan, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard Lin Yi's judgment.
He did not interrupt Lin Yi, but gave him time to think while speaking.
Lin Yi had indeed entered a state similar to "answering questions in an exam room" where he was thinking and typing at the same time: "The canteen rules have clear rules regarding this issue."
“When buying food, if you find that the employee in the blue bib has put food containing tomato ingredients in your meal, please do not remind him that he has made a mistake.
But after you take the plate, please go directly to the tableware recycling area and put all the food into the recycling bin, and then go to other food purchasing windows to buy food.
During this process, please remember his employee number and inform the class teacher after returning to the teaching building. 】”
“The key words are, don’t remind, pour it out, remember the number, and then remind the class teacher.”
Before this, Lin Yi had not figured out the logic of the first sentence, and subconsciously believed that it was a reminder that something bad would happen.
But now, he understood.
"Only the cafeteria lady with a problem would serve food containing tomato elements, and she herself is in a state of 'knowing that there is something wrong with her' but 'believing that there is nothing wrong with her'..."
He thought of his head teacher.
The head teacher who kept writing "I am the head teacher" on the paper must be in the state of "knowing that there is something wrong with me" but trying to "believe that there is nothing wrong with me" with an iron will...
One of the ways that class teachers use to strengthen their self-awareness and anchor themselves is to constantly write "I am the class teacher".
Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh in awe.
He didn't know about the cafeteria lady, but he thought it might have something to do with her morbid habit of asking students whether they ordered "scrambled eggs with tomatoes".
The cafeteria auntie's self-awareness may need help from others to stabilize, and there is no rule in the cafeteria that mentions what students "should do", only what they "should not do".
"So the purpose of not reminding is to protect the cafeteria lady, so that our reminder will not become the last straw that breaks her cognition."
"And dumping it out is to protect ourselves from contamination of tomato-based foods."
"As for reporting to the class teacher... Considering that the chef is delivering meals for the class teacher, informing the class teacher in advance should be to let the class teacher know who the chef with the problem is so that he can prepare in advance."
"I'm done, Mr. Tian."
"Pa pa pa..." Tian Bufan couldn't help but applaud. "This time, you said it very well." Tian Bufan smiled, "During dinner, I also encountered the situation you said, and what you said was almost consistent with my speculation."
"We don't need to talk about this anymore. I'll talk about it next."
Lin Yi said: "Okay."
Tian Bufan said, "Since you just mentioned the problem of the cafeteria aunt, we will talk about the issue of 'employees' next."
"Canteen staff, leaving aside the 'commissary owner' who I don't know if he is a canteen staff or not, let's just talk about the blue bib chef and the green bib chef."
"First, let's be clear that the green bib chef is definitely not normal."
"But the chef in the blue bib cannot completely represent normalcy."
"Secondly, according to the canteen rules, no chef can appear in the student cafeteria. In addition to the problem of the cafeteria aunt you mentioned, and the sentence in the cafeteria rules -"
“[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 or security guards. You must show your student ID in advance before seeking help.]”
"Putting all this together, we can draw a conclusion - usually, in the cafeteria, the only person we can trust is the blue bib chef who behaves normally at the order window."
"Besides that, all the remaining chefs have problems."
"Known abnormal cafeteria employees who may appear include..."
"One, the blue bib chef who likes to stuff tomatoes into other people's mouths, or replace other people's milk with tomatoes."
"Two, the green-bibbed chef huddled in the crowd staring at us."
"Third, the chef in the blue bib and the chef in the green bib appear at the tableware recycling area."
"And... four, the green-bibbed chef who crawled out of the number ten window."
“These four.”
"However, even for the green-bibbed chefs who clearly showed ill will towards us, I can't figure out what their purpose was."
"Is it just to attack us, or does it have other purposes? I don't know these at the moment."
Lin Yi listened silently, then nodded, and then hesitated and said: "I met the green bib chef in the gym."
"Yeah." Tian Bufan responded, so calmly that Lin Yi felt uncomfortable.
"No...you just said 'hmm', don't you have anything to say?"
"I'm thinking about it." Tian Bufan responded, but considering Lin Yi's feelings, he still said what he was thinking, "What you said... is very unreasonable."
"But I did encounter it. I saw it with my own eyes and experienced it personally. And...it was the boss who helped me out."
Tian Bufan said: "You should know that the gymnasium is the headquarters of the sports department. As a 'positive' camp, it should have an absolute deterrent effect on the green bib chefs, who are obviously in the 'negative' camp."
"Plus, there were so many sports students guarding the entrance to the gymnasium, it was impossible for the green-bibbed chef to get in."
Lin Yi also recalled the scene in front of the cafeteria before - Xu Shunkang with a baseball bat had a natural advantage over the chef in the green bib, not to mention a group of sports students guarding the door of the gymnasium.
"So what you mean is...?" he asked.
Tian Bufan was silent for a moment, and then his voice slowly rang out, exuding an extremely calm chill: "Unless... this green bib chef was 'born' from inside the gymnasium."
"Born from... inside the 'gymnasium'?!" Lin Yi gasped.
Tian Bufan's words made him feel a creepy sense of terror.
How could a gymnasium, which is considered the safest place, produce a green bib chef?!
"This...isn't this too weird?"
Tian Bufan's tone was terrifyingly calm: "'Strange'? That's just based on the unknown."
"This can only mean that there is an extremely special link in the transformation pathway of the green bib chef."
"However, since you can be targeted by the green-bibbed chef in the gym, you should be careful... The gym may not be safe enough for you."
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.
"Also…what's up with that 'Boss'?"
"Uh..." Lin Yi told Tian Bufan everything about his encounter with the "boss".
After listening to this, Tian Bufan couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect your new 'boss' to be so righteous."
"Yeah...haha..." Thinking of the scene of the boss's miraculous kick, Lin Yi couldn't help scratching his head.
At an angle that Lin Yi couldn't see, Tian Bufan glanced at him.
"Let's talk about the dining windows and area divisions next." Tian Bufan said, "There's actually nothing much to say about the dining windows. The key is the tenth dining window."
Lin Yi said, "I was curious before. You also saw the number 10 purchase window, so why weren't you chased by the chef in the green bib?"
"How do you know I'm not being chased?" Tian Bufan asked back.
Lin Yi immediately had a picture in his mind of Tian Bufan running over there with a stern face, and a weird green-bibbed chef chasing him...
Fanzi, Fanzi, I can’t live without you, Fanzi…hahahahahaha…
Nothing else, the main point is a sense of contrast.
"Puchi——" Lin Yi couldn't help laughing, and the bed shook accidentally due to this laugh.
The more he tried not to laugh, the harder he laughed. Finally, in front of Tian Bufan's silent face, he let out a series of "clang clang clang" laughter, like an old-fashioned train running on rails.
"Food purchasing window number ten..." Tian Bufan spoke.
Lin Yi gradually stopped smiling and pricked up his ears to listen.
"There is no information about the No. 10 meal window at the moment. Although there are people queuing, I doubt whether it is a 'meal window'."
“Assuming it’s a food window, what food does it offer?”
"Apparently, the non-human classmates were more interested in the tomato-based foods on our plates."
"If they got the tomato element's food, why would they covet ours?"
Lin Yi suddenly said, "Mr. Tian, you said...the number 10 food purchase window, could it be the canteen?"
Thanks to the book friends "555 Street Light", "Lin skylark", "Qingnv Cangyuan you" for the reward! !
