Chapter 148 Canteen Shop

It hung upside down from the incandescent lamp, with its neck tilted towards Lin Yi. The darkness seemed to be filled with some kind of eerie aura, causing its already unrecognizable face to slowly swell up like elastic rubber, and then turn into a face that was somewhat similar to Li Huiyuan's.

Lin Yi ignored its existence and continued running around the area with Li Huiyuan.

At this moment, the area near the No. 5 meal purchase window in the student cafeteria was completely shrouded in darkness, and a cold atmosphere gradually spread from the darkness.

With the help of the few lights, Lin Yi could clearly see from the corner of his eye a chill quietly spreading across the floor tiles. No, it wasn't even chill, it was... fog!
Dense white mist!

As the lights went out, a layer of fog began to fall from the first floor of the student cafeteria, and a dark white mist began to penetrate into reality from that layer!
No! Who said the original cafeteria is reality? !

Perhaps the original cafeteria was already in the layer, but the incandescent lamps were used to forcibly open up a piece of pure land in this area!
But no matter what it looked like originally, the first floor of the student cafeteria is now overlapping with a deep dark area!
Lin Yi looked at the convenience store that was far away and yet right in front of him, and veins throbbing on his forehead. At this moment, he wished very much that he could take out an old kerosene lamp, but unfortunately that was the security guard's thing, so he could only imagine it.

"etc!"

"There's a pattern to the way this incandescent light bulb goes out!"

Lin Yi suddenly realized something. In this student cafeteria, although the incandescent lights flickered, when they really started to go out, they still followed the order of going out from the No. 5 meal purchase window. If you observe more carefully, you will find that the area formed by the extinguished incandescent lights is still a curve, just like...

"ripple?"

Lin Yi felt a sudden electric current running through his brain, making his scalp numb!
He seemed to see a stone falling into the calm lake, and then a ripple spread out, and the fan pushed out, extinguishing the incandescent lamps along the way one by one!

"Could this be some kind of creature's 'force field'? When it appears, the force field will go ahead and clear away obstacles?"

The first thing Lin Yi thought of was the security guard!
The security guard holding an old kerosene lamp was walking in the campus filled with thick fog. The old kerosene lamp unfolded a mysterious area and directly drove away the surrounding fog!

So, if there is a "unit" similar to the security guard carrying an old kerosene lamp approaching the cafeteria, and its "force field" is completely opposite to that of the security guard, then can it cause the incandescent lamp to go out?
"Is it... a conceptual sculpture?"

This thought only flashed through Lin Yi's mind, and it gave him a sense of terror and oppression as heavy as a mountain.

He took a deep breath and glanced at the incandescent bulbs that were still flickering. His quick thinking formed a brainstorming session in his mind. The flickering incandescent bulbs were directly replicated in his brain, but the frequency of the flickering was much slower than the real ones.

He stopped and stood hunched over like a lone wolf in the black and white student cafeteria. The solemn atmosphere seemed to cut the flickering reality into the giant panda magic mapo tofu.

Li Huiyuan didn't understand why Lin Yi suddenly stopped, but she didn't believe that Lin Yi was just sitting there waiting to die, so she pursed her lips and waited for Lin Yi to rise again.

Lin Yi quietly observed everything in front of him. The images of the flickering incandescent lamps reproduced in his mind became clearer and clearer, and the frequency of the flickering became slower and slower, until... the incandescent lamps stopped flickering completely.

"Found it..." He murmured, "Stay focused, Li Huiyuan, from now on, follow my pace and don't make any mistakes."

His tone was firm and cold, with a chilly golden glow in his eyes, and he was so quiet that he seemed not to belong to this world.

Before he finished speaking, he took the first step—and walked out along the dark light column.

Li Huiyuan hurried to catch up.

As soon as the two of them left the spot, the incandescent light that was originally hanging above their heads went out...

Li Huiyuan's heart trembled, and before she could react, Lin Yi took another step forward.

When she followed Lin Yi away, the incandescent lamp behind them went out again.

But after walking to the area with three lights, Lin Yi suddenly stopped again, and then Li Huiyuan heard Lin Yi muttering "three, two, one..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he started walking again.

When they walked out, the incandescent light above their heads went out.

Li Huiyuan widened her eyes and looked at Lin Yi in disbelief, totally unable to understand how he did it.

But from Lin Yi's perspective, this was actually just an "ordinary" picture, and everything was exactly the same as what Li Huiyuan saw.

However, in Lin Yi's mind, he had already "deduced" the pattern of those incandescent lamps flickering and extinguishing in a short period of time!

Lin Yi didn't know how he did it, but ever since he started playing "Minecraft" on the bridge, "Dream Day" seemed to have become a skill of his.

But the so-called "fantasy daytime" is actually a kind of sand table simulation, except that Lin Yi can rely on his brainpower to calculate it in his mind, and even replicate the reality in it, and then add the laws he discovered himself into it, and then he can carry out a calculation that is almost terrifying and even he himself cannot understand.

The incandescent lamps in the student cafeteria seemed to contain some kind of pattern when they flickered. After a little deduction, he calculated the pattern of their extinction.

So the next two people followed the "beat" and headed towards the convenience store.

But just when they were halfway through, the white mist suddenly floated up, as if it was blown away by something...

Then, from the darkness came a rustling sound, like the sound of stones rubbing against the ground.

"Nocturnal species?!" Lin Yi's expression remained calm. With the help of the flickering light, he saw those inhuman classmates standing like tombstones in the black light column area surrounded by dense white mist.

However, now these inhuman classmates have made Lin Yi indifferent. What really makes him shudder is the things behind those inhuman classmates.

Meal purchase window No. 10.

He reversely calculated the starting position of this "ripple", and this position coincided with the No. 10 meal purchase window hidden in the shadow!

"The terror of the darkened cafeteria comes from the No. 10 food purchase window? Is it the chef in the green bib?"

Lin Yi had some guesses, but he was not sure. He vaguely felt that the green bib chef would not have such a deterrent power, so the real danger was most likely from... a level of pollution that was more serious than the green bib chef!
In Lin Yi's mind, the chefs in green bibs were actually very fragile. Xu Shunkang could knock one down with a baseball bat, the boss could crush one with his jade feet, Wei Shan could blow one away with a plate, and even... even Wei Liang could kick a chef in green bib beyond recognition through the plastic wind curtain.

Therefore, Lin Yi speculated that there was a very terrible source of danger lurking in the meal purchase window No. 10.

"If the cafeteria's first floor overlaps with the cafeteria's basement floor after the layers fall, then... could the source of danger at the No. 10 food purchase window be the same person as the one who made the strange noise I heard in the employee passage?!"

Lin Yi gradually clenched his teeth, feeling boundless pressure coming towards him along with the darkness, but what surprised him was that Li Huiyuan, who had been dropping layers all the time before, did not show any abnormality although his palms felt a little cold.

On the contrary, Li Huiyuan's eyes were very bright and clear, with a firm light flowing in them, like a stone standing still in a torrent.

Lin Yi's heart trembled.

Li Huiyuan saw the canteen, so the hope that was constantly lost was suddenly regained at this moment and was constantly strengthened, turning into a strong desire to survive. In the words of the class teacher... now she seems to have some kind of unshakable steel will?
Lin Yi was stunned again and again, feeling a little dreamy. Now he even couldn't understand Li Huiyuan. Could this be the strength of the will to survive in desperate situations?

"Old Lin! Old Lin!"

At this moment, Wei Liang's voice suddenly sounded behind Lin Yi.

"Hmm? Ryoko?"

Lin Yi was stunned. Just when he was about to turn around and ask, "Why the hell did you come back?", a chill suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart - [Don't look back]!
"Li Huiyuan! Li Huiyuan!! Hey, wait for me!" Seeing that Lin Yi was unmoved, the voice turned and called Li Huiyuan.

"Don't look back!" Lin Yi shouted, holding Li Huiyuan's hand and exerting force violently. Regardless of whether Li Huiyuan would be affected or not, he directly interrupted the other party's "casting" in this brutal way.

The two rushed to the store one after the other. When they arrived in front of the store, the incandescent light behind them went out.

But Lin Yi frowned, as if he was in some kind of confusion.

"Student Lin...are we going in now?" Li Huiyuan asked.

The door of the convenience store is one of those ordinary outward-opening wooden doors. Both doors open outwards. On one door is a sign saying that the convenience store is open. In front of the other door is a row of shelves with some snacks displayed on them.

There was a dim light swaying inside the store, and it drifted out from the door of the store like orange juice spray in the air, creating a dim and gloomy area.

Lin Yi and Li Huiyuan are now standing in this area...

This area gave Lin Yi the feeling of the area formed by street lights in the thick fog. However, although this area existed, it did not make Lin Yi feel safe at all.

"It seems like there's a problem... But what's the problem?"

Lin Yi looked at the things in the store and always felt that something was not right.

It's that kind of contradictory and awkward feeling... "It feels like there is no problem but it seems like there is a problem, it feels like there is a problem but it seems like there is no problem."

"Go to the canteen first and get the student commemorative coins." Lin Yi said in a deep voice.

They had no way to retreat and could only move forward.

Moreover, not only did Li Huiyuan need to find student commemorative coins, he also needed to buy at least one item in the canteen and take it away.

It's strange to say, the door of the convenience store was clearly open, and there was an orange-yellow light fog from the inside out, but when looking inside the convenience store from outside, one could not see anything but the orange-yellow color.

Lin Yi took a look at the snacks on the shelf, and after a little hesitation, he took a roll of biscuits in his hand, and then took Li Huiyuan across the threshold of the convenience store.

When passing through the light curtain, Lin Yi did not have any unusual feeling. He just felt that it was as normal as crossing a layer of air.

But his perspective had changed somewhat.

When I stepped through the door of the convenience store, it was like I had emerged from a thick and dense layer of cotton wool, and my vision suddenly became clear.

Lin Yi was stunned by the scene before him. Even Li Huiyuan, who followed him out of the light mist, subconsciously opened his mouth.

"this……?"

"Is this a convenience store...?"

The convenience store in front of me was completely different from the canteen convenience store I had imagined. It gave me an indescribable sense of strangeness.

First of all, there is its space. It is large, but it is hard to say how big.

In front of Lin Yi there were rows of shelves with some goods placed on them here and there, but... there was no end to these shelves at all.

At the end of the sight is a dark spot where even light cannot reach.

There are shelves on both sides, and there is no end in sight.

Lin Yi felt like they had entered a shelter filled with supplies.

In other words, this place is like an arched air-raid shelter tunnel. Old incandescent lamps are hung above the tunnel, casting dim light, covering one area after another with lighting.

Lin Yi's heart was beating fast.

The explosion-proof glass of the teaching building, the air-raid shelter of the canteen, the wall-like gymnasium, the fortress-like cafeteria...

This is crazy...

Putting aside the layer problem, the S City University in the real layer seems to have big problems itself!
Moreover, the air in the store seemed a little turbid, and there were some tiny dust particles in the light, which made Lin Yi feel that his guess was more correct.

But at the same time, it also gave him a dreamlike sense of unreality.

Who would have thought that he and Li Huiyuan were in the student cafeteria, and then they walked through a door and entered a "shop" that was like an air-raid shelter or a refuge...

From a practical perspective, there is absolutely no such way out of the cafeteria.

"The convenience store should be located on a certain layer, or in the gap between layers..." Lin Yi guessed.

He took a slow breath, letting the somewhat turbid air flow into his lungs from his respiratory tract, swirling around in his body before slowly exhaling, in order to make his mind clearer...

Then he couldn't help but look back again.

The door behind him was still there, but it stood behind him strangely, just like Doraemon's Anywhere Door.

Unlike in the student cafeteria where you couldn't see through the scene inside the canteen, you could see the outside world from the canteen at this moment, just like a one-way mirror.
