"And because he is actually already 'dead', no matter how much damage his body suffers, it will recover like a nocturnal creature, so he is invincible."

"At least that's what it looks like."

"However, according to calculations, if one absorbs the extraordinary power of a pseudo-human like Lao Mo did, one would be transformed into a pseudo-human in a short period of time... but he didn't, because he anchored himself to the cafeteria."

"What does that mean? What does 'anchored together' mean?" Mao Feiyang was puzzled.

Mu Daxian explained: "'Bind', 'bind'? It's almost the same... The cafeteria itself has extraordinary properties, and Lao Mo used his own will as a fuel to ignite his own extraordinary power, part of the cafeteria's extraordinary power, the extraordinary power absorbed from the pseudo-human, and many other things that cannot be explained, forming a chain reaction that has not been explored since the establishment of the campus, and finally transformed himself into this life form."

"Originally, there were so many fake people that they were enough to bypass Lao Mo and capture the cafeteria, but they all failed in the end."

"Because they cover the 'canteen' with their own cognition, there is no way to lower the layer of the 'canteen' and make it sink into the sea..."

"And what prevents them from overwriting the cafeteria's layer is Old Mo's will."

"Just like a virus invasion, the 'firewall' that Lao Mo built with his own will that night blocked all the pseudo-human overwriting... until the store owner came back."

"According to the information provided by the canteen owner later, Lao Mo should have completed the "interlocking" or "mutual anchoring" with the 'canteen' at the last moment."

"The result of this anchoring is that the boss assumes that 'the cafeteria is behind him' and 'he is standing at the door of the cafeteria as the cafeteria's chef.'"

"The unyielding Lao Mo used his own will to forcibly anchor the cafeteria from the contamination of pseudo-humans to the concept of 'cafeteria', and used the cafeteria as an anchor to anchor his identity as a chef, so that he always stayed on the edge of transforming into a pseudo-human. Then, by hacking and killing the pseudo-humans, he directly devoured their extraordinary powers to maintain his 'body' and provide combat power..."

"He set himself on fire and threw himself into the oil barrel. As long as there was oil in the barrel, he would not go out."

"In this way, Lao Mo has achieved a kind of closed loop of fate at the level of the map. Unless there is an existence that is strong enough to crush his will, the combination of him and the cafeteria will be like borrowing a famous sword Siming on credit."

"A... famous sword Siming with no cooldown time."

"Then isn't this an unsolvable absolute defense, or is this cheating?" Mao Feiyang's eyes widened, his mind filled with the image of a hero dancing with a crooked mouth in front of a crystal.

Mu Daxian sighed: "There is no such thing as absolute defense... As long as there is defense, there will be a value, and as long as there is a value, it cannot be absolute... Any defense we can think of will be vulnerable in front of the conceptual level of power."

"Old Mo can draw a circle on paper to block things outside the circle, but if it's Him, he can just tear the paper off... That's why the store owner needs to expel Him. Do you understand?"

It can only rely on the power of paper, and is unimaginably fragile in the face of the power that can ravage paper.

But it also relies on the power of paper. As long as the ink is thick enough, it can compete with other colors.

This is Lao Mo.

"Besides..." Mu Daxian continued, "Old Mo can't leave the cafeteria area now. He can't even leave the place where he is... because he is always anchoring himself. Once his will relaxes, the "interlock" will be released, and he may disappear into thin air..."

Mao Feiyang fell silent: "So you're saying... Lao Mo has been tightening his will since the 70th gray fog invasion until now?"

Mu Daxian lowered his eyelids slightly, pursed his lips and nodded: "He looks numb, not because he has lost his mind, but because he is too focused. Everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches its extreme. Great wisdom appears foolish, so he looks like this..."

"Perhaps it's because he has experienced sacrifice so much that Lao Mo can't bear to see his comrades sacrifice again, so he has been holding on from then until now..."

"It can be said that as long as Lao Mo is here, the cafeteria will not fall even if it is breached. He is the last drop of blood in the cafeteria, and he truly implements the chef's code of 'the person in the cafeteria is there'."

A breath of fairy air directly allowed Lao Mo to survive from the 70th gray fog invasion to the 73rd gray fog invasion… Mao Feiyang was silent and didn't know what to say. For such a person, verbal admiration was not enough to express anything.

The gloomy atmosphere made Mao Feiyang breathless. He felt that he was gradually unable to feel the heaviness of that night. He could only silently change the subject and try to pull Mu Daxian out of that sad and solemn mood: "Brother Xian, you even know the chef's rules?"

Mu Daxian slowly came back to his senses, and then said calmly: "Old Mo once muttered something, and I wrote it down when I heard it, but I didn't hear much, so I didn't remember it all..."

"Then why is he wearing a blue bib now? Isn't it black?" Mao Feiyang asked.

Mu Daxian shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but maybe it has something to do with the chef's characteristics, or it may be to take care of other people."

"He is at the entrance of the cafeteria, but he is in a different layer than us, so people with normal mental state cannot see him. And those who are mentally unstable are already very unstable. Seeing a chef in a black bib that is neither blue nor green will only make them more confused, thus deepening the pollution..."

"Lao Mo may have considered this from the beginning, so he anchored himself to the Blue Bib Bar and disguised himself with the appearance of the most common service chef, so as not to cause too much panic."

Just at this moment, in the student cafeteria area behind the plastic air curtain, one incandescent lamp after another burst out with sporadic light like flint sparks, and then "puff puff puff..." one after another, all of them were lit up.

——The time has now come to 5:8 on May 5th, and the lights in the cafeteria are on.

"You can go in." Mu Daxian glanced at the pendulum clock at the entrance of the passage, checked the time, then reached out and opened the plastic curtain.

But just before he entered the student cafeteria, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh, right...just treat what I just told you as a story, because there may be some problems with my memory of the past."

"Ah?" Mao Feiyang was startled and blurted out subconsciously, "There's a problem with your memory? Your memory has also been modified?"

"'Also'?" Mu Daxian was originally reluctant to say more, but he caught a magical word.

Mao Feiyang was stunned again: "Yeah, why did I say...'also'?"

Mu Daxian looked at him deeply, then seemed to be thinking about something, but he immediately noticed that Mao Feiyang was also thinking about something, so he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "The details may be different, but the general idea will not change... Let's go."

After saying that, he rushed into the student cafeteria.

...The student cafeteria at 5:40 could only be described as deserted. Since the experience students were not allowed to leave the classroom before 6 o'clock, Mu Daxian and Mao Feiyang were the first people to enter the cafeteria.

The moment Mao Feiyang entered the cafeteria, Lin Yi seemed to have caught some details and subconsciously looked in a certain direction.

That was the direction of the staff passage. A chef pushed the trash can into place and then turned to leave. From the residual vision, Lin Yi felt that the chef seemed to be wearing a black bib...

And somewhere outside the employee passage, there was a lingering fog, and there seemed to be a tall figure in the fog.

He seemed to be waiting for something. Unfortunately, Mao Feiyang followed Mu Daxian into the cafeteria, so Lin Yi did not have much time to observe.

Lin Yi suspected that it was the security guard, because according to the rules, the security guard would bring the chef in a blue bib to deliver meals to the head teacher, so it seemed reasonable for him to come and pick up the chef at this time.

But he had no way of verifying it, so his eyes followed Mao Feiyang into the student cafeteria.

Due to the layer problem, the lighting in the restaurant always presents a pale and gray texture, and the entire student restaurant looks like a gray film from the 60s.

From Lin Yi's perspective, all the chefs at the five purchasing windows and the 10th purchasing window were busy, each doing their own thing, some were sorting dishes, some were preparing plates, while the other free chefs cast their curious eyes on Mu Daxian and Mao Feiyang.

Although the cafeteria said it opened at 5:40, in reality it was impossible for any "students" to come at this time. No one was allowed to leave until 6 o'clock in both the teaching building and the dormitory.

So they gradually became the focus of all chefs' attention...

The feeling of being stared at was very strange. For a moment, it was difficult to tell whether they came to the cafeteria to eat breakfast, or to have themselves delivered as breakfast.

Mu Daxian looked around the cafeteria, then went straight to the No. 1 food purchase window, ordered some breakfast and left.

Mao Feiyang quickly followed, copied the operation and said "Me too", then he also left with his plate.

During the whole process, neither of them made any unnecessary card swiping movements, and the cafeteria lady in the blue bib didn't show any intention of calling them.

But after they finished their meal, he calmly observed their backs as they carried the plates, his eyes slightly cold, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Mu Daxian found a random seat and sat down, then took a bite of the pickled cucumber and began to sip the porridge: "Hurry up and eat, the canteen is not open yet, but it will probably be soon."

"Oh, okay." Mao Feiyang hurriedly drank his porridge, but he suddenly discovered that a tomato had appeared on both of their plates.

This tomato is covered with crystal dew, as if it had just been picked from a tree that had been rained on. It exudes a gorgeous scarlet color that makes people want to taste it.

“This...?!” Mao Feiyang’s voice trembled suddenly, as if he had seen something horrible.

He turned his head subconsciously, only to see that a chef wearing a green bib had appeared next to the card machine at the No. 1 meal purchase window.

The chef in the green bib had been staring at them, and when Mao Feiyang turned his head, he made eye contact with the chef.

"Oh my god!" Mu Daxian naturally noticed the tomato, but it was not until Mao Feiyang saw the green bib chef that he uttered a low sound.

The chef in the green bib was quickly attracted by Mao Feiyang, then left his original position and approached little by little.

"Brother Xian!" Mao Feiyang couldn't help but remind him.

"I feel it, keep eating." Mu Daxian lowered his head to drink the porridge, but seeing that Mao Feiyang was still flustered, he emphasized again, "Listen to me, keep drinking the porridge."

"Uh... OK." Mao Feiyang quickly shrunk his neck and continued to drink the porridge, but he was absent-minded. His mind was all on the chef in the green bib who was pressing him step by step. When he drank the porridge, he even made the expression of the Husky gulping down water and blowing bubbles.

"Classmate...try that tomato..."

The chef in the green bib came closer with a faint scream. Mao Feiyang felt the hairs on his body stand on end. He couldn't help but clench the corner of his clothes...

Just then, Mu Daxian put down his bowl.

"Lower your head."

"?" Mao Feiyang was startled, but saw Mu Daxian's hand on the drawing board...

"I'll get involved!" Mao Feiyang suddenly realized something and his head shrank like a turtle. Immediately afterwards, Mu Daxian pulled out a drawing board from behind him and, like a strongman swinging a hammer, hit the chef in the green bib directly.

“Bang—”

With a dull sound, the chef in the green bib flew out like a cannonball.

Mu Daxian supported himself on the dining table with one hand, flexibly pulled himself out of the chair, and landed steadily on the ground with a Thomas turn.

Without waiting for the chef in the green bib to get up from the ground, Mu Daxian chased after him and hit the chef in the green bib directly in the abdomen with a side kick, kicking him towards the exit of the student cafeteria, and then smashed his tomato at him.

The chef in the green bib subconsciously tried to dodge, but soon discovered that the tomato didn't seem to be targeting him.

The tomato shot out like a baseball, passed by the chef in the green bib, and hit the plastic wind curtain behind him heavily!
At this moment, the chef in the green bib was just pushed in front of the plastic curtain by Mu Daxian's previous push, and the tomato just happened to lift a corner of the plastic curtain...

The chef in the green bib, who had just stabilized his body, suddenly trembled. He couldn't "see" anything, and his actions were all based on sensing and locking onto the other party. At the moment when a corner of the plastic air curtain was lifted, he found that something was locking onto him in return.

It’s Lao Mo.
