Chapter 148 Canteen Canteen
It hung upside down from the incandescent lamp, tilted its neck and faced Lin Yi. There seemed to be a sinister atmosphere in the darkness, causing its originally unrecognizable face to slowly bulge up like elastic rubber, and then turned into a face that was somewhat similar to Li Huiyuan's face.
Lin Yi ignored its existence and took Li Huiyuan to avoid this area and continue running.
At this moment, the area beyond the dining window No. 5 of the student restaurant has been completely shrouded in darkness, and a cold atmosphere gradually spreads from the darkness.
With the help of the few lights, Lin Yi could clearly see a piece of cold air quietly spreading on the floor tiles from the corner of his eye. No, it was not even cold air, but... mist!
Senior white mist!
As the lights went out, layers began to fall from the first floor of the student restaurant, and the forest-white mist began to seep into reality from that layer!
No! Who says the original canteen is reality? !
Perhaps the original canteen itself was in the layer, but it was just forced by the incandescent lamp to create a pure land in this area!
But no matter what it looked like originally, the first floor of the student restaurant is now overlapping with an abyss and dark area!
Lin Yi looked at the canteen in the distance and right in front of him, and veins popped up on his forehead. At this moment, he desperately wished he could take out an old kerosene lamp, but it was a pity that it belonged to the security guard, so he could only imagine it.
「Wait!」
"This incandescent lamp goes out in a regular way!"
Lin Yi suddenly realized something. In this student restaurant, although the incandescent lights flickered on and off, when they really started to go out, they still went out in the order starting from the No. 5 dining window. Even if you observe more, you will find that the area formed by the extinguished incandescent lamps is still a curve, just like...
"Ripples?"
Lin Yi felt that an electric current suddenly ran through his brain, making his scalp numb!
He seemed to see a stone falling on the calm lake, and then a ripple spread out, and the fan pushed out, extinguishing the incandescent lights along the way one by one!
"Is this a "force field" of some kind of creature? When it appears, the force field will take the first step to clear the obstacles?"
The first thing Lin Yi thought of was the security guard!
The security guard carrying the old kerosene lamp was walking on the campus filled with thick fog. The old kerosene lamp opened up a mysterious realm and directly drove out the surrounding fog!
So, if there is a "unit" similar to a security guard carrying an old kerosene lamp approaching the canteen, and its "force field" is completely opposite to the security guard, can it cause the incandescent lamp to go out?
"Is it... that kind of conceptual sculpture?"
This idea just 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 lights that were still flashing. His quick thinking formed a brainstorm in his mind. The flashing incandescent lights were directly copied into his brain, but the flashing frequency was far slower than the real ones.
He stopped and stood hunched like a lone wolf in the black and white student restaurant. The solemn atmosphere seemed to cut the flickering reality into giant panda magic Mapo Tofu.
Li Huiyuan didn't understand why Lin Yi suddenly stopped, but she didn't believe that Lin Yi was sitting there waiting to die, so she pursed her lips and waited for Lin Yi to explode again.
Lin Yi quietly observed everything in front of him. The picture of the flashing incandescent lamps reproduced in his mind became clearer and clearer, and the flashing frequency became slower and slower, until...the incandescent lamps stopped beating completely.
"Found it..." He murmured, "Stay focused, Li Huiyuan, from now on, keep up with my rhythm and never make a mistake."
His tone was firm and cold, a cold golden light flowed in his eyes, and his whole person was so calm that he seemed not to belong to the world.
Before he finished speaking, he took the first step - walking out against the dark cube of light.
Li Huiyuan quickly followed.
As soon as the two left the place, the incandescent lamp hanging above their heads went out...
Li Huiyuan's heart trembled, and before she could react, Lin Yi took another step.
When she followed Lin Yi and walked away, the incandescent lamp behind them went out again.
But after walking through the area with three lights, Lin Yi suddenly stood still again, and then Li Huiyuan heard Lin Yi seem to mutter "Three, two, one..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took another step.
When they walked out, the incandescent light above their heads went out again.
Li Huiyuan's eyes widened and she looked at Lin Yi in disbelief, completely unable to figure out how he did it.
From Lin Yi's perspective, this is actually just an "ordinary" picture, and even everything is exactly the same as what Li Huiyuan saw.
It's just that in Lin Yi's mind, he had already "deduced" the pattern of those incandescent lamps flashing and extinguishing in a short period of time!
Lin Yi didn’t know how he did it, but ever since he started Minecraft on the covered bridge, “Daytime Fantasy” seemed to have become one of his skills.
But the so-called "day fantasy" is actually a kind of sand table deduction, but Lin Yi can use his brainpower to calculate it in his mind, and even copy the reality into it, and then add the laws he discovered to it, and then he can start a calculation that is almost terrifying and that even he himself cannot understand.
The incandescent lamps in the student cafeteria seemed to have a certain pattern when they flickered. After a little deduction, he calculated the extinguishing patterns of the incandescent lamps.
Hence, the next two people walked to the canteen with the "beat".
But when they had walked more than half the way, the white mist suddenly floated up, as if it had been blown away by something...
Then, a rustling sound came from the darkness, like the sound of stones rubbing on the ground.
"Nocturnal species?!" Lin Yi looked blank. With the help of the flickering lights, he saw those inhuman classmates standing like tombstones in the area of black light pillars surrounded by dense white fog.
However, these inhuman classmates now make Lin Yi feel nothing. What really makes him shudder is what is behind those inhuman classmates.
Meal purchase window No. 10.
He worked backwards to calculate the starting position of this "ripple", and this position actually coincided with the No. 10 meal shopping window hidden in the shadows!
"The terror of the light-out canteen comes from the meal purchase window No. 10? Is it the chef in the green bib?"
Lin Yi had a guess, but he was not sure. He had a vague feeling that the chef in the green bib would not have such a deterrent effect, so the real danger most likely comes from... a pollution level that is more serious than that of the chef in the green bib!
Green bib chefs are actually very fragile in Lin Yi's mind. Xu Shunkang can knock one down with a bat, the boss can crush one with a jade foot, Wei Shan can slap one away with a dinner plate, and even... even Wei Liang can kick a green bib chef through a plastic curtain until it becomes unrecognizable.
So Lin Yi speculated that there was a very terrible source of danger lurking in the meal shopping window on No. 10.
"If the first floor of the cafeteria overlaps with the first floor below the cafeteria after the floor fell, then...could the source of danger in the food purchase window No. 10 be the same owner of the strange noise I heard in the employee passage?!"
Lin Yi gradually gritted his teeth, feeling boundless pressure rushing towards him along with the darkness, but what surprised him was that Li Huiyuan had been dropping layers at every turn before, and although his palms were a little cold, there was no abnormality.
On the contrary, Li Huiyuan's eyes are very bright and penetrating, with a firm light flowing in them, like an unmoving stone in the torrent.
Lin Yi felt a chill in his heart.
Li Huiyuan saw the canteen, so all the hope that she had been losing was suddenly recovered at this moment and was continuously strengthened, transforming into a strong desire to survive.
In the words of the head teacher...she seems to have some kind of steely will that is hard to shake now?
Lin Yi was stunned again and again, feeling a little dreamy. Even Li Huiyuan couldn't see through it now. 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 from behind Lin Yi.
"Li Huiyuan! Li Huiyuan!! Oh, wait for me!" Seeing that Lin Yi was unmoved, the voice turned to call Li Huiyuan.
"Don't look back!" Lin Yi shouted, holding Li Huiyuan's hand and exerting force. No matter whether Li Huiyuan would be affected or not, he directly interrupted the other party's "casting" in this arrogant way.
The two of them rushed towards the canteen one after the other. When they arrived in front of the canteen, the incandescent lights behind them also went out.
But Lin Yi frowned, seeming to be in some kind of confusion.
"Classmate Lin...shall we go in now?" Li Huiyuan asked.
The door of the canteen is an ordinary wooden door that opens outward. On one side of the door there is a sign that the canteen is open, and in front of the other side there is a row of shelves with some snacks on display.
The dim lights swayed inside the canteen, drifting out from the door of the canteen like orange juice spray that filled the air, rendering a gloomy and gloomy area.
Lin Yi and Li Huiyuan are now standing in this field...
This field feels to Lin Yi like the field formed by the street lights in the thick fog. However, although this field exists, it does not make Lin Yi feel half safe.
"There seems to be a problem...but what's the problem?"
Lin Yi looked at the things in the canteen and felt that something was not right.
It's that kind of contradictory and awkward feeling... "It feels like there is no problem but there is a problem, and there is a problem but there seems to be no problem".
"Advance the canteen and get the student commemorative coins." Lin Yi said solemnly.
They had no retreat at all and could only move forward.
Furthermore, not only did Li Huiyuan need to find student commemorative coins, he also needed to buy at least one thing from the canteen and take it away.
Strange to say, the door of the canteen is clearly open, and there is an orange-yellow haze from the inside out. But when you look from outside the canteen to the inside of the canteen, you can't see anything, only orange-yellow colors.
Lin Yi glanced at the snacks on the shelf, hesitated for a moment, then took a roll of biscuits in his hand, and then led Li Huiyuan across the threshold of the canteen.
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 vision has undergone some changes.
When I stepped through the door of the canteen, it was like emerging from a thick and dense layer of cotton wool, and my vision suddenly became clear.
Lin Yi was stunned by the sight in front of him. Even Li Huiyuan, who followed him out of the light mist, subconsciously opened her mouth wide.
“This...?”
“This is a canteen...?”
The canteen in front of you is completely different from the canteen canteen you imagined. It has an indescribable strangeness.
The first thing is its space. It is very big, but I can’t say how big it is.
In front of Lin Yi, there were rows of shelves with some goods scattered here and there, but... there was no end in sight for these shelves.
At the end of the sight, there is a dark spot that cannot even be illuminated by light.
There are also shelves on the left and right sides, with no end in sight.
Lin Yi felt as if 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. The incandescent lamps cast dim light, covering one area after another.
Lin Yi's heart was pounding.
The bomb-proof glass of the teaching building, the air-raid shelter of the canteen, the city wall-like gymnasium, the fortress-like canteen...
This is crazy...
Layer issues aside, the S City University in the real layer itself seems to have a big problem!
Furthermore, the air in the canteen seemed a little turbid, and the light was filled with some fine dust particles, which made Lin Yi feel more and more correct that his guess was 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 still in the student cafeteria, and after passing through a door, they entered a "commissary" like an air raid shelter and a shelter...
From a practical perspective, there is absolutely no such way out of the cafeteria.
"The canteen should be located on a certain layer, or between layers..." Lin Yi had a guess.
He took a slow breath, letting the somewhat turbid air flow from his respiratory tract into his lungs, swirling around in his body and then exhaling it slowly, to make his mind clearer...
Then, he couldn't help but look back.
I saw that the door behind him was still there, but it stood strangely behind him, just like Doraemon's random door.
Unlike the student cafeteria where you cannot see through the canteen, you can now see the outside world from the canteen, just like a one-way mirror.
Thanks to book friend "Lin skylark" for the tip! !
