Chapter 241: Someone? No one?
Lao Mo is gone.

Lin Yi confirmed it several times before finally accepting this fact.

No wonder he always felt something was wrong along the way, it turned out that Lao Mo was missing!
When Lao Mo was here, although he felt a little creepy, the entire student passage was relatively normal. But now that Lao Mo is gone, the entire student passage has changed for Lin Yi.

This kind of change might not be noticeable to ordinary people, even Tian Bufan didn't seem to notice it, but Lin Yi felt it.

This is a change that is hard to describe, but I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

It's like there are flowers blooming on the tree outside your window, but one day there is a heavy rain and all the flowers fall off. You don't think there is anything wrong when you first see the tree, but when you realize that the flowers once existed, looking at a bare tree again will seem awkward.

Before he had time to think about Lao Mo, or the horrible look on Wei Liang's face after he lifted the plastic curtain, some changes in the student cafeteria immediately caught Lin Yi's attention.

The first is the problem of light.

The lighting range of the incandescent light in the cafeteria was obviously shrunk, and only the three in the middle of the five windows were open. The remaining window No. 5 on the far left and window No. 1 on the far right were both in the shadow area.

But despite this, there were queues in front of the five food purchasing windows.

However, Lin Yi could feel the atmosphere of those lines at this moment. No matter whether it was at the meal purchase window No. 1 or the meal purchase window No. 5, the people in line were not "people" but pseudo-people.

If you feel it more carefully, you can define their scope between "newborn pseudo-human experience life" and "pseudo-human sculpture".

"That's right! If I must say, the people who were abducted by the fake art teacher and art students seem to have a 'smell' very similar to them..." Lin Yi's eyes jumped, "Those 'people', could it be that they are some units that are in urgent need of 'identity certificates'?"

The rules for art students mentioned that if you find student ID cards while staying overnight in a classroom in the teaching building, you can keep them and give them to the art teacher...

And these people in the queue don’t seem to be really eating, but rather... hunting.

Lin Yi didn't know whether his guess was correct, because when he swiped the card before, he could clearly feel some "malice" and "negative emotions" coming from the dark area around him. Now that he thought about it, perhaps these emotions came from them.

In addition to the problems with the two teams and the lighting in the cafeteria, Lin Yi also discovered that several chefs in blue bibs seemed to have left the meal window and entered the student cafeteria.

That’s right, a blue bib chef, not a green bib chef.

What is strange is that, up to now, he has not seen any green bib chefs, while the performances of those blue bib chefs are somewhat similar to those of the green bib chefs.

They moved around the cafeteria like ghosts. Although their bodies were obscured by others, normal people's bodies tend to sway or move up and down when they walk, but the chefs in blue bibs did not have that.

The way they move is as if they are floating, just like the abbot in “The God of Cookery”.

And he didn't know if it was an illusion or something else, but Lin Yi always had a creepy feeling in his heart, as if those chefs in blue bibs would glance at him from time to time.

It felt like someone was whispering in his ear - If you dare to offend the abbot, you will die!
"Lao Lin..." Wei Liang stroked his arms and called softly, "Do you feel that the cafeteria is a bit eerie today... There are not many people around here!"

"It's indeed a bit weird." Lin Yi nodded.

Wei Liang continued, "Especially at the two food purchasing windows 1 and 5, there are actually no people queuing up. What do you think, Lao Lin?"

"Yeah, yes...it's not you, wait?!" Lin Yi was carefully observing the surroundings. When he heard what Wei Liang and Tian Bufan said, he was about to nod, but suddenly he felt creepy and shivered subconsciously, "No, no one?!"

He swallowed, not daring to turn his neck too much. He only dared to move his eyes left and right, and looked at the purchase window No. 1 and the purchase window No. 5 again.

But this time, he couldn't help but notice that all the people standing in line at the No. 1 and No. 5 purchase windows had all turned into the sculpted newborn pseudo-humans he had seen at the lamp posts before...

Those sculpture students with broken limbs and bodies, their faces covered with dirt and grass, their eyes white and it was hard to tell whether they were flesh or stone, all turned around with expressionless faces and faced Lin Yi.

It looks like two rows of human-shaped tombstones.

Lin Yi had the illusion that he was surrounded by a cult choir in his dream.

Gradually, the borders of the peripheral vision began to distort, and the human-shaped tombstones began to twist slightly like seaweed fluttering in the wind...

"My grass!"

Lin Yi felt a chill down his spine. He blinked violently and shook his head at the same time. Then the strange auras immediately and quietly collapsed.

"Hu, hu, hu..." He gasped for a moment, and then observed the shadow areas again. This time, the distorted human-shaped tombstones had indeed disappeared, but the fake people were still there, and he could still see fake people queuing up...

"I've already regained my vision, but I can still see people?!"

"Could it be that... those fake people really exist? But I am the only one who can see them?"

"But if I'm the only one who can see them... do they exist in reality, or are they just part of my imagination?"

What is true?
What is fake?
"Or is it..." Lin Yi's eyes began to show disbelief. He put his hands on his head, and his pupils slowly fluctuated. "Or is it... there is some unknown existence that is trying to tamper with my cognition and then anchor it from some strange layer..."

"What should I do?"

Lin Yi's body gradually became cold. Although he was in the cafeteria, under the light of incandescent lamps, he felt as if he was in the snow in the hot sun in Mobei.

There was light and a hint of warmth, but this meager warmth was no match for the icy torrent!

What's even more terrifying is that the warmth is also quietly fading away...

He seemed to see the world around him losing its color, from a soft and somewhat rich glow to a pale and weak gray.

As his vision changed, he felt that strands of chill were spreading out quietly from some void like hairs, slowly approaching him.

These things were entangled and intertwined, like strange tentacles, surrounding Lin Yi bit by bit...

Lin Yi felt his scalp tingling and goose bumps appeared all over his body. At this moment, he seemed to have some strange sensation and actually heard some hissing sounds caused by the candle flames being whipped by the strong wind.

His body was stretched straight and stiff, and he did not look up, but he could hear the friction and collision of metal chains above his head.

The incandescent lamp above his head seemed to have turned into a chandelier hung by iron chains at some point in time. The iron chains clanged in the wind, making an uncomfortable tinkling sound.

A gust of cold wind came without warning like mist, carrying with it a hoarse voice as faint as smoke...

It sounded like something like "wash teeth" or "wow", like an old woman whose vocal cords had been cut out was shouting out some weird words with difficulty...

Lin Yi didn't understand at all, but he still felt a strong sense of resistance and discomfort in his heart. It felt like he was being summoned by an incredible and incomprehensible existence. The voice didn't make him feel afraid, but was so peaceful that it seemed to be full of demonic power. However, his body was already covered with goose bumps. By the time he realized it, he was already sweating profusely, his face was pale, and his lips and teeth were trembling.

"I'm Lin Yi... Boss... Li Huiyuan... Xu Shunkang... Mu Daxian..."

Lin Yi repeatedly went through the figures that impressed him deeply in his mind, recalling those scenes that could cause his positive emotions to fluctuate violently, such as the boss's explosive and coordinated posture, Li Huiyuan's cute uniform and pink girlish outfit, Mu Daxian's violent priesthood scene, Xu Shunkang's home run posture under the galaxy baseball...

Gradually, his thoughts were pulled out of the boundless fear bit by bit in this way. The calling sound in his ear began to disappear first, then the warm feeling returned to him, and then, color began to return to his vision.

But this color is always lacking in flavor, like being stuck under the water while diving and about to surface, with only the face showing. It feels awkward.

It's hard to describe the awkwardness.

But the only positive thing was that at least he returned to a relatively normal and safe layer.

And this journey of dropping layers was only because of a momentary fluctuation in his cognition.

He glanced down at his watch.

"7:08"

Judging from the fact that he had already waited in line, he seemed to have plenty of time, but... at the same time, he didn't have enough time.

"Your breathing was very unstable just now. Did you find anything strange, Lao Lin?" Beside him, Tian Bufan noticed something unusual and spoke up.

"Mr. Tian, ​​was I in a daze just now?" Lin Yi asked while panting.

"No." Tian Bufan said, "You were walking forward with us the whole time, and at most you just glanced to the side, right?"

"You just took a glance?!" Lin Yi was shocked. He seemed to have caught some inspiration, which seemed to be related to "time", but it was not clear.

He was afraid that something unexpected would happen and he wouldn't be able to pull himself back, so he stopped thinking about it and followed the team forward.

"Weisang, are you behind me?" he asked.

"Yes." Wei Sang's steady voice sounded from behind him.

"I didn't do anything wrong just now, did I?"

"..." Wei Shan was silent for a moment, "...I guess so."

Lin Yi: “…”

"Follow us, don't fall behind, we'll talk later." Wei Shan said.

"Okay." Lin Yi nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and continued walking forward.

7: 12.

Wei Liang and Kuai Hongji came to the food purchasing window.

"You first." Kuai Hongji said lightly, and then stepped behind Wei Liang.

"I don't mind you ordering first..." Wei Liang whispered.

Kuai Hongji said nothing and looked at him coldly.

"Okay, I'll go first." Wei Liang shrugged.

"Auntie, give me two boiled eggs... No, no, no, no eggs. Give me a bowl of porridge and two fried dough sticks. I'm fasting recently and can't eat meat. It's a sin."

Wei Liang took the plate, drew his sword and swiped his card using the old method, then stepped aside.

Kuai Hongji glanced at the meal window, narrowed his eyes, and then said coldly: "Just like him."

"Me too." After Kuai Hongji ordered his food, Tian Bufan also said.

When Kuai Hongji was swiping his card, Lin Yi glanced at the card machine.

["Name: Kuai Hongji"

「Class: Group A, Class 1」

"Student ID: X0230506094"】

"It's Group A, Class 1..." Lin Yi thought to himself.

When it was his turn to order, the lady at the window asked, "What do you want to eat, young man?"

"I..." Lin Yi glanced at the inside of the food purchase window, his pupils narrowed slightly, "Just like him, porridge with fried dough sticks will be fine, two, thank you."

The lady in the cafeteria glanced at him, then lowered her head to serve food, muttering quietly, "The sales of porridge and fried dough sticks are really good today..."

"Would you like some pickled mustard?"

"No, thank you, auntie."

After taking the plate, Lin Yi also withdrew his gaze.

At this moment he understood why Wei Liang changed his words in time and even brought up his mother's "fasting".

Because inside that food window... there was no "normal food" other than porridge and fried dough sticks.

The boiled eggs looked like stones, and the pickled mustard tuber was made up of small grayish-white stone particles.

What terrified him was that the cafeteria lady didn't show any sign of abnormality at all, and communicated with them like a normal person.

But it is impossible for a normal person not to see the difference between stones and food, right?
Coming to the card machine, Lin Yi silently took his hand out of his pocket.

At this moment, he "felt" the feeling of being stared at again very clearly.

He swiped his card quickly, and when his name and student number appeared on the card reader, his eyes swept across the shadow area closest to him like lightning. He saw that the team in that area stretched their necks to look at him, just like the baby birds in the nest smelling the scent of insects.

But as he put away the student ID, those people's attention was also drawn back.

However, a truly strange scene appeared at this moment.

I saw a feeling of frame skipping on their bodies.

To be more precise, from Lin Yi's perspective, all the people in that team actually had a slightly mosaic-like frame skipping feeling at this moment.

And an even weirder scene is yet to come...
