Chapter 241 Is there anyone? No one?
Lao Mo is missing.
Lin Yi confirmed this several times before finally accepting this fact.
No wonder he always felt that something was not right along the way. It turned out that Lao Mo was missing!
When Lao Mo was around, although there was a feeling of angst in his heart, the entire student passage was relatively normal. But now that Lao Mo is gone, the entire student passage has changed for Lin Yi.
This change may not be felt by ordinary people. Even Tian Bufan didn't seem to notice it, but Lin Yi felt it.
This is an indescribable change, but I always feel a little awkward in my heart.
It's like the flowers blooming on the tree outside your window, but one day after a heavy rain, all the flowers fell. When you first see the tree, you won't feel anything wrong, but when you realize that the flowers once existed, you will feel awkward looking at a bare tree.
Before there was no time to think about Lao Mo's affairs, or to think about the ghostly look Wei Liang had just made after lifting the plastic wind curtain, some changes in the student restaurant immediately caught Lin Yi's attention.
The first is the issue of light.
The lighting range of the incandescent lights in the canteen has obviously shrunk a bit, and only the middle three of the five meal purchase windows are open. The remaining meal purchase window No. 1 on the far left and meal purchase window No. 5 on the far right are both trapped in the shadow area.
But despite this, there were queues in front of the five food purchase windows.
However, Lin Yi could feel the aura of those queues at this moment. Whether it was the meal purchase window No. 1 or the meal purchase window No. 5, all the people lined up were not "people", but fake people.
If we experience it in more detail, we can demarcate their scope between "reborn pseudo-human experience life" and "pseudo-human sculpture".
"That's right! If I have to say it, the "smell" of those people who were abducted by the fake art teachers and art students seems to be very similar to them..." Lin Yi's eyes twitched, "Those 'people', could it be that they are just like them..." Are they some units that are in urgent need of "identity certificates"?
It is mentioned in the rules for art students that if you pick up student ID cards while spending the night in the classroom of the teaching building, you can put them away and give them to the art teacher...
It seems that these people lining up are not really eating, but... hunting.
Lin Yi didn't know if his suspicion was true, because when he swiped his card before, he could clearly feel some "malice" and "negative emotions" coming from the surrounding dark area. Now that he thought about it, maybe these emotions came from them.
In addition to the two teams and the lighting problems in the cafeteria, Lin Yi also discovered that several chefs in blue bibs seemed to have left the food purchase window and entered the student cafeteria.
That’s right, it’s the blue bib chef, not the green bib chef.
What is strange is that so far, he has not seen any green bib chefs, but the blue bib chefs behave a bit like green bib chefs.
They moved in the canteen like ghosts. Although their bodies were obscured by others, normal people's bodies would tend to sway or rise and fall when they walked around, but those chefs in blue bibs did not.
They move as if they are floating, just like the abbot in "The God of Cookery".
And whether it was an illusion or something else, Lin Yi always had a fuzzy feeling in his heart, feeling that the chefs in blue bibs always glanced at him from time to time.
This feeling was like someone whispering in his ear - Oh, you will die if you dare to offend the abbot!
"Old Lin..." Wei Liang crossed his arms and called softly, "Did you feel that the cafeteria is a bit spooky today... there are no people around here!"
“It’s indeed a bit weird.” Lin Yi nodded.
Wei Liang continued: "Especially at the 1 and 5 meal shopping windows, there are actually no people queuing up. What do you think, Lao Lin?"
"Well, yes...don't you wait?!" Lin Yi was carefully observing the surroundings when he heard that Wei Liang and Tian were not Fan was about to nod when he suddenly felt horrified and his whole body trembled subconsciously, "No, no one?!" He swallowed and did not dare to turn his neck much anymore. He only dared to move his eyes left and right, and looked at the meal purchase window No. 1 and No. 5 again.
But this time, he couldn't help but find that all the people lined up at the food shopping window No. 1 and No. 5 had all turned into the sculptural new pseudo-human experiencers he had seen on the street lamp poles before...
Those sculpture students, whose limbs and bodies were in disrepair, looked like they were stained with dirt and grass clippings. Their eyes were white and it was hard to tell whether they were flesh or stone. They all turned around expressionlessly and pointed their faces towards Lin Yi.
Like two rows of human-shaped tombstones.
It gave Lin Yi the illusion of being surrounded by a cult choir.
Gradually, the edges of the corner of his eye began to distort, and the human-shaped tombstones began to twist slightly like seaweed blowing in the wind...
"Idiot!"
Lin Yi's spine trembled, he blinked violently, shook his head at the same time, and those strange auras quietly collapsed again.
"Hoo, ho, ho..." He was so frightened that he gasped for a while, and then looked at the shadow areas again. This time, the twisted human-shaped tombstones had indeed disappeared, but the dummies were still there, and he could still see the dummies queuing up...
"I have already brought back my vision. , you can still see people?! ”
“Could it be that... those fake people really exist? But only I can see them?”
“But if I am the only one who can see them... do they exist in reality, or are they in my imagination?”
What is reality?
What is fake?
"Or..." Lin Yi's eyes began to show disbelief. He put his hands on his head, his pupils slowly fluctuating, "Or... there is some unknown existence, trying to tamper with my cognition, and then anchor it from a strange layer..."
"I, what should I do?"
Lin Yi's body gradually became colder. Although he was in the cafeteria, under the light of incandescent lamps, he felt as if he was in the snow in the snow in the desert.
There is light and a hint of warmth, but this scribbled half warmth cannot withstand the cold torrent!
What is even more frightening is that the half of warmth is also passing away quietly...
He seemed to see that the world around him was losing color, from a soft and somewhat full brilliance to a pale and feeble gray.
As his vision changed, he felt that strands of coldness were spreading quietly from some kind of void like hair, slowly approaching him.
These things were entangled and entangled, like strange tentacles, surrounding Lin Yi bit by bit...
Lin Yi felt his scalp was numb and goosebumps appeared all over his body. At this time, he seemed to have some strange feeling, and he actually heard the whirring sound of some candles being whipped by the strong wind.
His body was straight and stiff, and he did not raise his head, but he heard the friction and collision of metal chains above his head.
The incandescent lamp above his head seemed to have turned into a chandelier suspended by an iron chain at some point. The iron chain clanged in the wind, making an uncomfortable clanking sound.
A gust of dark wind without warning came like mist, carrying a hoarse call as light as smoke...
It sounded like a pronunciation like "wash your teeth~" or "Wow~", like an old woman who had her vocal cords cut out, struggling to shout some weird words...
Lin Yi couldn't understand it 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 did not make him feel scared, it was peaceful and seemed to be full of magic, but his body was already densely covered with goosebumps. By the time he realized it, he was already sweating, his face was pale, and his lips and teeth were trembling.
"I am Lin Yi...the boss...Li Huiyuan...Xu Shunkang...Mu Daxian..."
Lin Yi repeatedly lived through the figures that impressed him in his heart, recalling those things that could make him His positive emotions produce scenes with dramatic fluctuations, such as the boss's figure full of explosiveness and coordination, Li Huiyuan's cute uniform and pink girl dress, the violent priesthood scene of Mok Daehyun descending to earth, Seo Soon Kang's home run posture under the Milky Way baseball...
Gradually, his thoughts were extracted bit by bit from the boundless fear in this way. The calling in his ears first began to disappear, then the warm feeling returned to his body, and then he, his vision began to regain color.
It's just such a color, but it always tastes a little bit different. It feels like you are about to surface when you are diving, but you are stuck under the water, and only one face can be exposed.
Awkward.
It’s awkward beyond words.
But the only thing that has gotten better is that he has at least returned to a relatively normal but safe layer.
And this journey of losing layers was just because his cognition fluctuated in an instant.
He lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
7:08 Judging from the fact that he was already in line, he seemed to have plenty of time, but... he didn't have enough time at all.
"Your breathing was very unstable just now. Did you find anything strange, Lao Lin?" Beside him, Tian Bufan noticed something unusual and said.
"Mr. Tian, was I in a daze just now?" Lin Yi asked breathlessly.
"No." Tian Bufan said, "You have been walking forward with us, and at most you only glanced to the side, right?"
"Just a glance?!" Lin Yi was startled, and he seemed to have caught some light, which seemed to be related to "time", but it was vague.
He was afraid that something would happen again and the moth would be unable to pull himself back by himself, so he stopped thinking about it and followed the team forward.
"Weisang, are you behind me?" he said.
"Yes." Weisang's steady voice sounded from behind him.
"Is nothing wrong just now?"
"..." Wei Shan was silent for a moment, "...that's right."
Lin Yi: "..."
"Follow me, 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 meal purchase window.
“You go first.” Kuai Hongji said lightly and retreated behind Wei Liang.
"I don't mind if you order first..." Wei Liang whispered.
Kuai Hongji said nothing and looked at him coldly.
"Okay, I'll take it first." Wei Liang shrugged.
"Auntie, let's get two hard-boiled eggs... ah, no, no, no, no eggs, just a bowl of porridge, and two fried dough sticks. I'm fasting recently and can't eat meat, which is a sin."
Wei Liang took the dinner plate, drew his knife and swiped his card in an old-fashioned way and stepped aside.
Kuai Hongji glanced at the dining window, squinted his eyes, and then said coldly: "Be the same as him."
"Me too." After Kuai Hongji finished ordering his meal, Tian Bufan followed suit.
While Kuai Hongji was swiping his card, Lin Yi glanced at the card machine.
【「Name: Kuai Hongji」
Class: Class 1, Group A‖
"Student ID: X0230506094" ]
"It is indeed Class 1, Group A..." Lin Yi thought to himself.
It was his turn to order, and the cafeteria lady in the dining window asked: "Young man, what do you want to eat?"
"I..." Lin Yi glanced at the inside of the dining window, his pupils slightly condensed, "Just like him. , just porridge and fried dough sticks, two sticks, thank you."
The cafeteria lady glanced at him, then lowered her head to eat, and whispered in her mouth: "The sales of porridge and fried dough sticks are really good today..."
"Would you like pickled mustard?"
"No, thank you, auntie."
Taking the plate, Lin Yi also withdrew his gaze.
At this moment, he understood why Wei Liang changed his mind in time and even moved out of his mother's "fasting".
Because there is no "normal food" other than porridge and fried dough sticks in the meal shopping window.
The hard-boiled eggs look like stones, and the mustard vegetables are all small gray-white stones.
What frightened him was that the cafeteria lady didn't show anything wrong at all and interacted with them like a normal person.
But it is impossible for a normal person not to be able to distinguish between stones and food, right?
When he came to the credit card machine, Lin Yi silently took his hand out of his pocket.
At this moment, the feeling of being stared at was once again "perceived" by him very clearly.
He swiped his card quickly. When his name and student number appeared on the card swiping machine, the corner of his eye swept across the shadow area closest to him like lightning. He saw that the team in that area really looked like the chicks in the nest smelling bugs. They stretched their necks and looked at him one by one.
But as he put away his student ID card, the attention of those people also withdrew.
However, a truly strange scene appeared at this moment.
There was a feeling of frame skipping on their bodies.
To be more precise, from Lin Yi's field of vision, everyone in that team had a slightly mosaic-like sense of frame skipping at this moment.
And an even weirder scene is yet to come...
