Chapter 147: Canteen Lights Flashing
Chapter 147: Canteen Lights Flashing
This tomato is juicy and plump, and seems to exude a fresh breath and a faint fragrance, but in Lin Yi's view, the outline of the tomato is blurry, as if there is some kind of double image behind it.
And the thing in the double image was actually the heart.
"Depend on."
Lin Yi secretly spat and decisively withdrew his gaze.
But the other person laughed: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat some of my food?"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Yi heard the sound of a plate sliding across the table. His heart tightened, but he immediately realized that the other party was not coming for him but for Li Huiyuan.
Li Huiyuan looked at the plate in front of her and her hair stood on end.
On the plate in front of her was a plate of pasta with tomato meat sauce and a tomato.
Her pupils shrank slightly, and her gaze subconsciously moved up to look at the person sitting opposite her.
Except for his unnaturally pale skin, that person looked no different from a normal trainee.
If you must say, he was wearing a pair of glasses, but I don’t know if it was because of the reflection of the lenses or for some other reason, but there seemed to be a hint of cold light gold in his eyes.
"Art student? No... not a normal art student!" Lin Yi had a subtle feeling and immediately determined that this guy was not an art student like Mu Daxian, but the same kind of weird art student who appeared at the school gate in the thick fog.
The strange artist glanced at the dining table with a half-smile in his eyes, but his gaze seemed to be looking at a certain place under the table, and an unnatural and stiff smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Heh... If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Why do this?"
It dragged the plate back to itself, grabbed a tomato, took a bite, and then poured the tomato juice onto the pasta which was already covered with a lot of tomato sauce.
"By the way, what you're doing...will actually only speed up your journey."
After it finished speaking, it started to eat with a loud noise.
Li Huiyuan did not answer it, but just drank the yogurt slowly, as if she could never finish this small box of yogurt.
And under the table, her fists were clenched tightly, and her slightly long nails had pierced into the palms of her hands.
It was this kind of pain that she used to change her will just now.
But this is definitely not the solution.
Blood oozed out from the wound in her palm, emitting a faint smell of blood. When the first drop of blood fell on the floor, Lin Yi suddenly felt as if his heart was hit by something...
"Boom!"
Lin Yi, who was eating, suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Then his vision suddenly became distorted, and the black-and-white photo-like exposure quality occupied his field of vision again. The dining table in front of him turned into transparent black and white lines. His vision penetrated the dining table and saw a hint of green!
The green breath came from a drop of blood on the ground.
That is Li Huiyuan's blood!
Li Huiyuan's blood released a "clearly visible" green mist like a flare in the dark night. After it spread out, it gathered into green powder particles and spread out like pollen.
Immediately afterwards, some of the inhuman students who were having dinner in the student cafeteria suddenly became still, then turned their heads and cast their gazes towards Li Huiyuan.
Then, some inhuman classmates began to stand up from their tables and, like stiff puppets, began to move towards their tables.
There was a faint green mist surrounding these inhuman classmates, which he had not been able to observe before.
But Lin Yi didn’t have the mind to care about the details now, and immediately looked at Li Huiyuan.
Upon seeing this, he immediately discovered that blood was slowly flowing out from the other person's palm. The blood appeared a clearly visible green color in his field of vision, and was also constantly emitting green mist.
"The blood of the contaminated... has a strong attraction for nocturnal creatures!"
Lin Yi reacted instantly, quickly finished the last bite of rice, then picked up the plate and left the table.
"Li Huiyuan, follow me!" he shouted.
Li Huiyuan hurriedly followed, and the two walked towards the plate recycling area one after the other.
Those inhuman classmates also turned around and chased after them.
Only that weird art student was still sitting at the table, slowly eating spaghetti with tomato and meat sauce.
Suddenly, the strange art student seemed to sense something, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"Oh my goodness... I'm so lucky!"
It ate the last bite of spaghetti with tomato and meat sauce, then slowly stood up, staring at the backs of Lin Yi and Li Huiyuan, and gave a cold smile.
Before he finished speaking, almost all the incandescent lights in the cafeteria suddenly flickered...
Lin Yi, who had just walked to the dinner plate recycling area, was shocked by this strange sight and subconsciously wanted to look up at the incandescent lamps, but he restrained this impulse and then observed these incandescent lamps through the reflection of the dinner plates.
All the incandescent lamps in the cafeteria began to flicker at an extremely terrifying speed, as if the energy supporting their light was affected by some irresistible factor and became intermittent.
[If there is a flashing light in the student cafeteria, please leave the cafeteria immediately! Right now! At all costs, leave the cafeteria through the student passage! ]
[The cafeteria with lights off is different from the classroom. There is no safe area! ]
The contents of the cafeteria rules flashed through Lin Yi's mind. At the same time, almost all the students who were on probation and the sports students who had taken off their blue and white striped sportswear began to evacuate the student cafeteria desperately.
But Lin Yi, contrary to his usual behavior, stood in front of the plate recycling area, as if he had thought of something and was reluctant to put the plate down.
"Lin, Lin, let's go quickly!" Li Huiyuan anxiously tugged at the corner of his clothes.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, don't be anxious..." Lin Yi murmured to himself, maintaining the posture of "wanting to put the plate down but not putting it down", and his sharp eyes like a hawk kept scanning the surroundings.
Li Huiyuan was extremely anxious, with beads of sweat hanging on her hair. She didn't know what Lin Yi wanted to do, but shouldn't she obey the cafeteria rules and run away immediately?
Does Lin Yi want to break the rules? !
Impossible! In her impression, Lin Yi is definitely not such a person!
Suddenly, Lin Yi's spirit perked up, and a gleam of light seemed to flash across the depths of his deep eyes: "Found it! Come with me!"
Lin Yi immediately dropped the food plate, grabbed Li Huiyuan's hand, and rushed in a direction completely opposite to the exit of the student cafeteria!
"Student Lin! You're running in the wrong direction!" Li Huiyuan yelled anxiously, but her body was very honest. She had no intention of being a burden to Lin Yi and let Lin Yi manipulate her, running faster and faster after him.
At this moment, Li Huiyuan could still hear Lin Yi's confident and arrogant laughter: "That's right! That's right! That's it! I found it!"
Li Huiyuan's heart trembled, as if she realized something, and she quickly looked in the direction where Lin Yi was running.
At this moment, inside the student cafeteria, the incandescent lights on the entire ceiling were flickering irregularly, and a large area of uncertain light and dark appeared in the student cafeteria.
The direction that Lin Yi rushed to was the location of the No. 1 meal purchase window. When the incandescent lights in the cafeteria began to flicker, that area became an area without lights but illuminated by sunlight.
In the brief quarter second when the light flickered, the shadow of a door suddenly appeared on the originally blank wall like a double image!
The door was of limited size and was open. There was a shelf at the door with some snacks on it.
There was also a small chair by the door, but there was no one on it.
There was a small round sign hanging on the door, which read:
"Cafeteria Shop (Open)".
When she saw this, a mushroom cloud seemed to explode in her mind!
"Small...small store?!" Her pupils contracted violently and her heart trembled.
Lin Yi...actually found the convenience store?
How did he do that?
"I said, don't give up!" It seemed as if there was only the convenience store in Lin Yi's eyes. The strength he put in holding Li Huiyuan continued to increase, and a touching fortitude emerged on his not-so-angular face.
When the convenience store appeared, he knew that his inference was correct!
[If there is a flashing light in the student cafeteria, please leave the cafeteria immediately! Right now! At all costs, leave the cafeteria through the student passage! ]
That’s right! This sentence is correct!
However, there is another rule in the cafeteria rules!
[There is a small shop in the cafeteria, but it is not recommended to go in for shopping unless necessary. ]
[Due to its location, the canteen can serve as a student passage for you to leave when necessary, but to do so, you must purchase at least one item in the canteen. ]
The canteen can serve as a student passage for you to leave when "necessary"!
What is the "necessary moment"? !
This is a judgment based on the current situation of people who abide by the rules. Lin Yi believes that now is the "necessary moment", and that is the "necessary moment"!
and so--
"If there are flashing lights in the student cafeteria, please leave the cafeteria immediately! Right now! At all costs, use the student passage to leave! If necessary, the canteen can also serve as a student passage for you to leave, but to do so, you must buy at least one item in the canteen!"
"What the hell! It's called top-level understanding?!"
“This is top-level understanding!”
Lin Yi laughed wildly in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't suppress the excitement for his own deduction. This feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife, racing against death, no, against indescribable strange creatures, actually brought him a strange sense of excitement.
A kind of... stirring excitement and trembling feeling.
At this moment, a dark figure suddenly appeared like a ghost in the quarter second when the incandescent lamp went out!
The figure was invisible, as if it existed in another world, but it was definitely approaching them!
Lin Yi's hairs suddenly stood up, and a strong sense of crisis instantly enveloped him. The world behind the double image... was unknown, cold, mysterious, and terrifying. It was filled with a strange atmosphere, as if it was filled with countless indescribable things!
Lin Yi's intuition told him that the figure was not an ordinary nocturnal creature!
Rather than a nocturnal creature, it was more like... a human-shaped silhouette that was glaring at him covetously in the dim area of the teaching building!
"Could it really be that? It followed me to the cafeteria?!"
"How can it be?"
The incandescent lamps flickered faster and faster, and some incandescent lamps in the distance went out directly. Part of the student cafeteria was submerged in darkness, just like a huge ship traveling through the black ocean at night that suddenly capsized, and the coldness poured into the cabin and began to engulf all areas!
“Puchi, Puchi, Puchi…”
The incandescent lamps went out one after another without any regular pattern, and the originally bright and clear student cafeteria suddenly turned into a chessboard full of traps and mechanisms. Lin Yi, who was running in the black and white squares with Li Huiyuan in his hand, was like a knight running for his life with a fleeing princess. Sometimes the lights in front suddenly went out, and they had to take a detour for this.
In just a short straight distance, one can instantly feel the tension of the Bayinbuluke Death Rally.
Sometimes, when Lin Yi inadvertently glanced at the areas that were no longer illuminated by the incandescent light, it was as if he saw a bottomless abyss. The dark area seemed to be a cave cut out by a pair of invisible hands with a black curtain, which could swallow up any life that attempted to cast its gaze on it.
He seemed to hear a strange yet familiar drum sound, like the sound of a huge heart beating slowly with blood supply.
He reacted instantly and realized that this seemed to be... the sound coming from deep inside the cafeteria on the underground first floor!
Could this dark abyss connect the cafeteria's first floor and basement level, or...
When the layers fell, the first floor of the cafeteria... was the cafeteria's underground first floor? !
His mind flashed through the moss outside the cafeteria on the underground first floor, the moss in the student passage, and the image of thick fog filling the student passage...
ocean!
Is it the ocean?!
That non-existent ocean surged up from the underground first floor of the cafeteria, pushing the white mist to submerge the student passage, and then... poured into the student cafeteria!
The nocturnal creatures crawled out of the sea, their twisted figures stretched out like people who had absorbed enough water, and turned into a bunch of walking corpses, occupying the entire cafeteria!
"boom--"
Lin Yi shook his head violently, deleting these "unrealistic" images from his mind, then took a deep breath, grabbed Li Huiyuan's hand tightly and rushed towards the convenience store!
Suddenly, an incandescent lamp right in front of him went out with a "pop" sound, and the space in front of him was suddenly broken by a black cubic beam of light. Lin Yi tightened his muscles and braked suddenly, and he actually felt like he was pulling his horse back from the brink of a cliff!
At the same time, he felt a dark figure appear like a ghost in the dark cube only three centimeters away from him!
It's the green bib chef in humanoid spider form!
