Chapter 145 The Green Bib Chef Hanging Upside Down
Chapter 145 The Green Bib Chef Hanging Upside Down
Lin Yi glanced at his own palm, then looked at Li Huiyuan's palm.
After separating her hands, the green mist no longer seeped out from Li Huiyuan's side.
“This is fucking weird… that green mist actually used my hand as an outlet?”
However, what made Lin Yi feel even more weird was Wei Liang.
The simple sentence "break hands" made him notice these details, and he didn't believe it was not intentional.
"Fuck, what are you looking at? I've already covered my ears, what else do you want me to do? Do you want me to grow another hand to cover my eyes too?"
Wei Liang got anxious when he saw Lin Yi looking at him. He started to confront him, then pouted and shrank his neck, muttering in a low voice: "How abominable! It's only been a few days since you entered the school, and there's already a girl following you around. You don't even take care of your good friend! Your friend is still in the theoretical stage!"
"Liangzi, what are you mumbling about?" Lin Yi's voice came from the side.
"What the hell!" Wei Liang roared like he was spitting fire, scaring Lin Yi into a daze.
"Stop lying to yourself. Your hand is leaking air." Lin Yi looked at him speechlessly, thinking what's the point of Liangzi covering his ears? Is he lying to himself?
He turned to look at Li Huiyuan and continued, "Go on, what happened to it?"
Li Huiyuan lowered her voice and said, "It told me to go find the canteen..."
Although he had guessed it in his mind, Lin Yi's pupils still trembled slightly when he heard Li Huiyuan say it herself. Countless guesses about the blue bib chef in "Ru Zai" instantly surged in his mind. But now was not the time to waste time on this issue, so he hurriedly asked: "What did it say?"
Li Huiyuan didn't need to organize her thoughts and said directly: "It told me to find the canteen and go to the canteen immediately before I was targeted by them. It also said that the canteen is in a place with no lighting but sunlight."
The language is extremely simple, but the information is relatively complex and a bit mysterious.
If it were a day ago, Lin Yi would have been thinking about something, but now he just nodded slightly and pondered for a moment: "Listen... It's interesting. Did you tell me who 'they' are?"
"No," Li Huiyuan shook her head, "but I guess it's a nocturnal species."
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the student cafeteria: "Maybe there are not only nocturnal species, but also... those chefs in green bibs."
Li Huiyuan was shocked, and instantly remembered the horror of being chased by the chef in the green bib. Her face turned pale immediately: "Do you think...will they be waiting for me in the student cafeteria?"
"I can't guarantee that there aren't any. I haven't figured out their mechanism yet... I only know two things. The first is that they will try every means to put things containing tomato elements into our food. The second is that they will hunt us down when we leave."
"But Lin... I no longer have my student ID. In your words, my safety status is uncertain."
Lin Yi pursed his lips and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. At least the blue-bibbed chef and the class teacher agree with each other, so we should first look for the location of the canteen."
A place without lights but with sunlight may seem mysterious, but it is actually not difficult to find.
The only danger is in finding shadow areas and not dropping layers because of unnecessary phantoms.
It is certain that Li Huiyuan will lose layers, the key point is that he should not also lose layers.
Although he believed that his knowledge had been expanded and extended, and his novice village had also expanded outward, in this crisis-ridden environment, this expansion was actually not enough.
For example, the layer next to the swimming pool in the gymnasium. Every time I think of it, I feel a little palpitation.
There was also a non-existent road. It was on that road that he first struggled back home in a panic.
"If not, why don't you go in first?" Seeing Lin Yi seemed to be thinking about something, Wei Shan suggested.
Lin Yi looked at Wei Shan in surprise. He had originally planned to ask Wei Shan about the nocturnal species while waiting for Tian Bufan to come, but now the blue bib chef seemed more anxious about Li Huiyuan's proposal.
"He and I will wait here for Master Tian, and by the way, see if Yinbi is coming for dinner." Wei Shan glanced at Wei Liang.
Wei Liang quickly raised his hands above his head in surrender: "Hey, hey, hey... I don't want to be alone with him, how about we go in together? I'll eat mine and find a table to sit down first, you guys do yours, we have nothing to do with each other."
Lin Yi glanced at his watch.
16: 10.
It was 16:01 when we entered the student passage. After walking through the passage and discussing here for a while, the time was about the same.
The latest time he and Tian Bufan agreed to meet for dinner was 18:30...
There are still about two and a half hours.
Lin Yi looked at Li Huiyuan, and Li Huiyuan tried hard to force a smile at him, as if to say, "I'll do whatever you say."
Lin Yi sighed quietly and decided to follow Wei Shan's advice and take Li Huiyuan to the student cafeteria to find a canteen first.
Just as he made the decision, he seemed to hear the deep voice of the chef in the blue bib again, but this time, it was clearer than before:
[Hurry to the store...]
[It’s too late… It’s getting too late…]
【Go quickly...】
Lin Yi's heart trembled violently. He couldn't tell from the literal meaning whether the chef in the blue bib said "it's getting late" or "it's almost over".
"Let's go!" Lin Yi decisively took Li Huiyuan's hand and walked towards the entrance of the student cafeteria.
The corner they were in was very close to the entrance to the student cafeteria, but just after a few steps, he felt a slight discomfort as soon as he walked, as if something was coming towards him.
Normally, this feeling comes from behind, but now it comes from the front. It's very wrong, like...
Lin Yi suddenly set his eyes on the plastic wind curtain.
It was like something was staring at him from behind the plastic curtain.
The student cafeteria is separated by a plastic curtain, and the inside and outside are almost two layers. No matter how normal the picture seen from the inside through the plastic curtain appears, it is just an illusion.
This is like drawing a lucky bag. Only when you open it will you know whether it contains a small or big scam.
He glanced at the sign at the entrance to the student cafeteria, and after confirming that there was no problem with the entrance, he reached out and slowly lifted the plastic curtain.
A chilly breath seeped out from the gap in the plastic curtain...
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes instantly, and his movement of opening the curtain and stepping into the restaurant in one go slowed down a bit. As the plastic curtain was opened, the empty scene behind was presented to Lin Yi.
"No?" Lin Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes, but the murderous intent like a sword hanging over his head became more and more obvious.
“No… that’s not right!”
Lin Yi had a premonition of something and his eyes fell on the floor tiles inside the student cafeteria.
The incandescent lights inside the student cafeteria were always on, and at this moment, in the shadows formed by the interweaving of the incandescent light and shadow, he could clearly see a shadow above his back...
A chill instantly swirled along Lin Yi's spine, and then surged to his brain: "Up!"
The moment he realized the problem, a strong urge to look up emerged in his subconscious, but another part of his will pressed down on his neck like a gun.
He did not walk into the student cafeteria. Instead, he lifted the plastic curtain and then stopped in place in a tricky manner.
The only boundary between him and the student cafeteria was a plastic curtain.
The picture seems to be frozen at this moment, and time seems to be solidified at this moment.
Then, suddenly something dripped down from above in front of him and landed at his feet with a "plop", breaking the peaceful scene.
Lin Yi lowered his eyes and saw a pool of sticky ketchup-like substance on the soles of his feet.
His pupils shrank slightly.
“Bah…”
Another drop of this substance fell on his feet.
Lin Yi remained motionless.
However, because he braked too suddenly, even though he was slowing down, Li Huiyuan behind him was caught off guard and bumped into his back.
But Lin Yi, who should have been knocked into the student cafeteria by Li Huiyuan due to inertia, was like an old tree with a complex root system, standing still. His seemingly thin body strangely bore all the weight.
Li Huiyuan suddenly found that Lin Yi's back was very cold.
It's not the kind of coolness that comes from falling layers, but the kind of coolness that comes from cold sweat seeping out of your back and then being absorbed by your clothes...
Li Huiyuan's heart skipped a beat, and she vaguely sensed something unusual. At the same time, she saw a drop of ketchup pass right in front of Lin Yi and then fall to the ground.
"Don't look up!" Lin Yi's low voice sounded in her ears.
But it was too late. Li Huiyuan's will was not as strong as his. After seeing the ketchup, she raised her head uncontrollably, confusedly, and subconsciously, and looked towards the source of the ketchup...
The scene before her almost drove her crazy.
She saw a chef in a green bib hanging upside down from the plastic curtain in the student cafeteria, his body folded and twisted like a giant humanoid spider.
At this moment, it was hanging just above Lin Yi as he took a step forward. Its head had already slowly poked its head through the door frame, and its face displayed a variety of evil emotions such as greed, bloodthirstiness, and desire without any concealment.
Li Huiyuan had no way of judging how it was hung with just one glance, but the strange posture still made people shudder.
It was eating the tomatoes that it usually didn't want to eat. The sticky tomato juice flowed from the corners of its mouth to its forehead, then slowly flowed down its chef's hat, and finally fell to the ground with a "plop"...
Suddenly, the green-bibbed chef in the form of a humanoid spider twitched his nostrils, and as if he smelled some intoxicating scent, he closed his eyes, his eyebrows moved slightly, and a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.
Then, it suddenly opened its eyes and stared straight at Li Huiyuan's face.
Li Huiyuan's breathing suddenly stagnated, and she subconsciously grasped Lin Yi's hand, which had already grown a little cold.
Although the chef in the green bib had his eyes facing Lin Yi's face, his gaze was extremely scattered and not focused at all. It was not until Li Huiyuan poked her head out from behind Lin Yi that his eyes began to roll around.
Then, the two eyeballs seemed to have their own thoughts. After the first eyeball had focused on Li Huiyuan's face, the second eyeball followed and stared over.
"Li...Hui...Yuan...?"
Its throat rolled slightly, making a dry sound.
Li Huiyuan's pupils slowly dilated, and her vision gradually distorted. In that vision of collapsing light and shadow and distorted lines, she seemed to see the chef in the green bib grinning at her, the muscles on his face wriggling and tangling, slowly changing into another look...
And that face looked extremely familiar, as if it was...herself? !
"Li Hui...Yuan..."
"Li Huiyuan..."
The chef in the green bib made a strange sound, as if calling Li Huiyuan, but with an even stranger tone...
Li Huiyuan seemed to realize something and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Suddenly, it changed its tone and said:
"My name is Li Huiyuan... My student number is X0230507046..."
"My name is Li Huiyuan... My student ID is..."
The green-bibbed chef murmured, like the painful roar of thousands of insects entangled in the wind. The distorted and obscure syllables were like the voice of gods and demons, cleansing reason, bringing chaos, and lingering in Li Huiyuan's ears...
At the same time, its eyebrows were slightly curved, forming a strange crescent shape, and the corners of its mouth were stretched all the way to its ears. That face looked like Li Huiyuan, but even more strange and confusing, revealing an indescribable sense of horror.
Li Huiyuan's face turned pale. She could feel that Lin Yi seemed to be calling her, but she could not respond. The voice of the chef in the green bib reading out her name and student number drowned out Lin Yi's voice, making her confused brain unable to think too much.
Just when she felt that she was about to die, a voice suddenly sounded, like a dump truck crashing wildly in the wilderness, running through the storm of pain, crushing Lin Yi's call and the terrifying devilish voice of the green-bibbed chef, and sounded behind her -
"Hey, I'll help you, Lao Lin, wait for me!"
As the voice sounded, a not very strong figure passed by her and Lin Yi. It was... Wei Liang.
"Hey, you know how to wait for me, good brother!"
Wei Liang snatched the plastic curtain from Lin Yi with a smile: "Old Lin, you are the same, you are just trying to lift the curtain like a sissy, let me do it!"
Without waiting for Lin Yi to remind him, Wei Liang pulled the plastic curtain. However, because the base of the plastic curtain was blocked by the upside-down head of the chef in the green bib, he couldn't open the plastic curtain any further no matter how hard he pulled.
