Chapter 149 "Instructions for the Commissary"
At this time, in the student restaurant outside the canteen, only the three incandescent lamps in front of the canteen were still flickering. The rest of the area had been swallowed up by darkness, leaving only the creeping forest-white mist, like countless tentacles wriggling and twisting.
And in that dark realm, the "rustling" sound made by swarms of sandworms when swimming was endless, making people's hearts tremble.
"Puff! Puff... Puff!"
As the last three incandescent lights were extinguished, the entire first floor of the student restaurant fell into boundless darkness.
In the end, the swarming heads slowly emerged from the depths of the mist, and figures walked through the mist outside the lights of the canteen entrance, wandering like ghosts...
This was a group of nocturnal species, some of them were inhuman classmates, and some were things like sculptures of little geniuses. Their eyes were all flowing with a faint golden light, and they were surrounding the canteen like stiff corpses.
At the entrance of the canteen, the half-foot area spread out by the dim yellow mist was struggling to hold on in the darkness, as if it would be extinguished at any time.
Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
16:52.
"The sun is about to set..." Lin Yi was under great pressure. "We must leave the cafeteria through the canteen as soon as possible and return to the teaching building..."
Today's weather seemed bright but in fact it was a big problem. Lin Yi had never seen the sun set so early... The last time was on May 6th, the day he entered school.
But the weather was abnormal that day. Just after 17:30, the mountainous area was shrouded in rain and fog. When we entered the school at 17:45, it was even more dense and foggy.
He had an ominous premonition that something like this would very likely happen today.
Suddenly, Li Huiyuan next to him let out a light sigh: "Classmate Lin, there seems to be a sticky note posted here!"
Lin Yixun looked around, and sure enough he saw an A4 paper-sized label on the back of the canteen door.
This piece of paper was behind the door, and the door opened outwards, which meant that it could not be seen from Lin Yi's point of view, but Li Huiyuan happened to see it.
Lin Yi looked at it immediately, with a serious look on his face: "Instructions for the canteen...?"
"[Instructions for the canteen (1)]"
"Please keep the following in mind after entering the canteen:"
"1. The name of the canteen is for reference only, please refer to the actual situation."
"No matter what the canteen you enter looks like, please be sure that the canteen is on the first floor of the canteen, and you can leave the canteen and return to the campus through the canteen."
"But if you want to do this, please choose to buy at least one item, follow the blue exit sign, go to the self-service terminal to swipe your student ID (note that it must be your own student ID), and then leave."
h "2. The canteen has no boss, and only has daily necessities and food, and no souvenirs, especially things labeled "Student Commemorative Coins."
"If you see someone who claims to be a canteen owner, please confirm immediately whether his or her nameplate is "Commissary Shop Owner-00X" (X is a number among 1, 2, or 3, never any other number), and then leave the canteen immediately. "
"In this process, you can trust the words of the canteen owner who has the badge, and you can also accept the help he provides you, but do not follow him, and please maintain the behavior of "leaving the canteen". "
“If the other party is a canteen owner who does not have a name badge or has an abnormal name badge, please tell him that you need a food containing tomato elements (you can make up the name of the food arbitrarily), and then find a way to leave the canteen while he is looking for the item.”
3. Do not stay in the canteen for too long. Please pay and leave immediately after selecting the goods. "Open."
"If you feel your body temperature is dropping during the journey, please immediately grab any ready-to-eat snacks that are on hand (never choose meat snacks), follow the exit signs, pay and leave."
4. If you are not an experience student with a student ID, please ignore this instruction and read the part on the opposite side.
Seeing this, Lin Yi suddenly raised his eyebrows, and then glanced at Li Huiyuan... Li Huiyuan, who had just read the instructions, had a strange look on his face when he read the last one.
Come on, I watched it for a long time, it has nothing to do with me.
Li Huiyuan reached out and touched the note paper and found that it could indeed be turned over. Then she looked at Lin Yi with a hint of inquiry: "Classmate Lin, have you finished reading? Can I turn it over?"
"Well, turn it over, hurry up." Lin Yi nodded.
Li Huiyuan turned the paper over, and Lin Yi came over.
Li Huiyuan was startled: "Classmate Lin... do you also see this side?"
Lin Yi said calmly: "It's just a look. It's good to know more about it. It just fits my exploration goal."
Li Huiyuan immediately stopped talking and started to read silently.
Content: "
"1. You can take away any product in the canteen (note that it must be a product with a label), but no more than three items cannot be repeated. After selecting your products, please follow the blue exit signs and leave the canteen immediately. "
2. The canteen owner has a name badge, and the name badge number is "Commissary owner-00X" (X is a number among 1, 2, and 3, and it will never be other numbers). "
"Believe the words of the canteen owner and obey all arrangements of the canteen (priority overrides the teacher)."
"3. If the other party is a canteen owner who does not have a name tag or has an abnormal name tag, please find a way to divert its attention before it shows strong malice towards you (about one minute), and immediately escape quickly in the direction of the blue mark. "
"When you see an exit with a [No Entry] sign in the direction of the blue sign, enter it immediately. You will get rid of it and may encounter security guards."
"If you encounter a security guard, tell the security guard about it, but do not follow the security guard back."
"Throughout the process, remember:
Don't try to attack or anger it, as this will speed up its malice!
You are not and will never be its opponent!
Run! Run!"
"4. If you are an experience student with a student ID card, please treat this content as a joke made by an idiot to tease you, ignore this instruction, and read the part on the opposite side, which is the real rule... Dear~"
There is even a cute little heart-warming emoticon at the end of the instruction. The cute style is incompatible with the dark and weird content of the note.
The content is very short. Compared with the essay-like rules for art students, the instructions for the canteen can be said to be simple and clear.
·Lin Yi also expressed his understanding, because everyone who saw this notice has already accepted the rules corresponding to their own identity, so it can be said that accepting the canteen's notice is a matter of course.
Lin Yi found that there were only two categories of people who entered the canteen. In other words, sports students and art students... seemed to belong to the "same type of people" as far as the canteen was concerned.
Lin Yi couldn't help but squint his eyes, but he didn't think much about it. He just remembered these two instructions in his heart after reading it.
Now that time is running out, the first thing you should do is follow the rules and leave the canteen, and then think about the twists and turns here when it is safe.
Lin Yi simply went through the two instructions in his mind, then turned his head and looked around.
Although there are rows of shelves in the air-raid shelter tunnel-like canteen, it is still very empty overall. Coupled with the fragmented light curtains cast by the high-hanging incandescent lamps, it gives people an empty and cold feeling.
On the ceiling of the canteen, there are rectangular blue signs hanging like the exit signs of an underground garage. The sign reads: [Exit (with an arrow)]
And in the shelf area, there are other signs, marking the four categories of goods: snack food, beverages, daily necessities, and others.
Lin Yi looked down at the roll of biscuits he had held before and found that there was indeed a food code on the package of the biscuits, labeled "biscuits". On the snack food shelf not far away, there were some foods with the same packaging.
"The items at the entrance of the canteen should be taken out from here, so the student commemorative coins... should belong to the 'other category'."
"Hmm." Li Huiyuan nodded, thinking that she could get the student commemorative coins right away, and she couldn't help but get excited.
"Time is tight, but we'd better not separate." Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at the time. The watch showed 16:59. They spent a total of 7 minutes reading the instructions for the canteen, "I'll go there with you."
A person can buy up to three items. He took a roll of biscuits and could theoretically take two more. Of course, for him, it didn’t matter whether he took it or not. The main thing was to comply with the rules of leaving.
Li Huiyuan nodded.
The two of them followed the guidance of the exit sign and walked towards the shelf area of other products.
But just when he started, he suddenly felt that the light behind him suddenly dimmed...
He felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, so he decisively turned back to look at the door of the canteen.
At this sight, he was immediately shocked.
The area formed by the orange-yellow light outside the canteen has been eroded by the darkness. The white mist is like an invisible wall blocking the door of the canteen, as if it will invade at any time.
In the mist, one can clearly see the outlines of human figures. They have followed the darkness to the door of the canteen, but they seemed to be intercepted by the light and finally stopped at the door.
Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a slight distortion in his vision, and the door swayed like a ship sailing on the sea being washed by wind and waves.
Immediately afterwards, the lights around him began to dim, and a long and harsh buzzer began to sound in the air-raid shelter. The incandescent light on the ceiling suddenly brightened after dimming, but it released a color of light that he had never seen before in the campus-
Red!
This kind of red light instantly drowned out the original color of the incandescent lamp, and the entire canteen instantly turned into a closed arc-shaped bomb shelter with flashing red lights. It was like an evacuation alarm when the doomsday strikes, directly filling people's hearts with a sense of oppression and tension.
Lin Yi's vision became increasingly distorted. He wanted to move, but found that he couldn't, as if his body was not his.
Immediately afterwards, the invisible barrier on the canteen suddenly disappeared, and the forest-white mist poured into the door like a tide.
It was like a sealed container storing liquid nitrogen was suddenly opened, and thick mist poured out instantly. From the center of the doorway of the canteen, an ice crack formed by frost spread to all around...
"Crack, click, click, click..."
The frost spread, and the temperature of the entire canteen dropped sharply. Coupled with the flickering red lights and the harsh and lengthy buzzer alarm, the door to the student cafeteria on the first floor of the cafeteria instantly became the door to hell.
Behind that portal, it was as if there was an indescribable, incomprehensible, and incomprehensible terrifying existence slowly waking up from a long dream...
"Shashasha!"
"Shashasha!"
Within the frost and white mist, pitch-black shadows seemed to be wandering around like swarms of insects. They seemed to be the forerunners of the Lord of Hell, ready to move in the shadows.
Suddenly, a bloodless palm poked out from the door, and then slapped it heavily on the ground.
It clung to the ground tightly, ferocious blood vessels pulsating on its blue-gray arms, as if it had used all its strength to cling to the rock wall.
Immediately afterwards, its somewhat twisted body crawled out of the mist, like a snake-shaped human monster, and screamed "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa". It closed its eyes, and its head trembled like a sparrow. The smelly and sticky saliva dripped from between its teeth, and fell on the floor tiles with a "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"...
It seemed to want to open its eyes, but its squirming eyelids seemed to be stuck, and it couldn't open them no matter what.
It seems to want to stand up, but its slightly soft blue-gray body allows it to crawl on the ground like your spineless reptile freak.
It's nostrils flapped, as if it smelled a certain smell, and it grinned and exhaled "hissingly", looking ferocious and terrifying.
"What is this?!"
This thing looks like a monster that is between the nocturnal species and the inhuman classmate, but in terms of threat, it is far greater than the nocturnal species and the inhuman classmate. It even gives Lin Yi the feeling that it is more terrifying than the weird art student!
At this moment, a cold voice sounded in his ears: "There's nothing to see..."
He was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he saw a figure walking out from his right side.
This figure was wearing a dark green Western-style school uniform and carrying a square drawing board on his back. He looked like a squashed Ninja Turtle.
He walked like the wind, crossing Lin Yi's body like a phantom, and walked quickly towards the strange nocturnal species.
Thanks to book friends "Lin skylark" and "Downstream 666666" for their rewards! !
PS: The tinnitus is back again. I originally wanted to take leave today, but considering the instructions for the canteen, I decided to code it out. Tomorrow’s chapter is also very interesting, so I gritted my teeth and gave it a try. I will take a day off at 3.20 the day after tomorrow to make some adjustments.
