Chapter 451 The canteen in the mist
When the green bib chef realized that something was wrong, the space lines had begun to reset, and Lin Yi's expansion point suddenly compressed. He used this force to reversely compress the space lines, forcing himself to resemble the green bib chef. Like the master, he achieved a short-distance jump...
The difference is that just like the green bib chef escaping in the darkness, Lin Yi ejected like Mr. Mighty in the sun and slid to the door of the canteen in the blink of an eye.
I have to say that the Green Bib Chef's move actually does not require manipulation, but when Lin Yi saw through it, it became his own "simple and powerful" skill.
As for such simple and powerful skills, Lin Yi has a few more.
When Lin Yi left, the plastic curtain at the entrance of the student restaurant was lifted, and the dusty Shan Nan walked in carrying large and small bags.
As soon as he came in, Shan Nan seemed to notice something unusual and subconsciously looked at the direction of the canteen.
But from his perspective, the corner where light and shadow intersected seemed to be filled with a lot of dust, just like the visual error caused by light beams thrown into the sea.
He frowned slightly, then looked away.
As soon as he took it back, the sinister big face of the chef in the green bib suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Classmate...new product recommendation...tomato meat sauce dry noodles...Want to try it?"
Shannan's pupils trembled suddenly, and half of his hand had already touched the backpack behind him, but he quickly restrained himself from making further movements, then silently bypassed the green bib chef and got into the queue to buy food...
Lin Yi used the "power" of the green bib chef as a slingshot to launch himself to the door of the canteen. After taking a few steps forward, he finally reached the door.
The dim yellow light swaying from the canteen spread like orange spray at the entrance of the canteen, rendering a dim and dim area. It was obviously noon, but there was still a dim environment near the entrance of the canteen.
Lin Yi's heart suddenly palpitated. He looked at the way he came, only to find that the student restaurant behind him had disappeared.
"Can't go back...?" Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. Even though he knew that the canteen was the territory of the canteen owner, the feeling of being cut off by an invisible hand still gave him a feeling of constipation in his throat.
He turned his attention again to the current canteen. The canteen shrouded in orange light mist was now in an inaccessible position in the fog. It immediately reminded him of the Longmen Inn in the Hong Kong movie...
It was just that the flying yellow sand was replaced by a sky full of fog, and the vast desert was replaced by endless darkness.
He had a strange illusion, feeling that the canteen was to the foggy world what the street lamp was to the campus in the dark. Somehow, he always felt like it was the only shelter in a dark world shrouded in fog...
"Lin Yi...Lin Yi..."
A distant call floated in the mist and wind.
This time, there was no sound of waves hitting the rocks, nor the sound of rapid and whistling wind, only the ethereal sound that seemed to echo from the quiet valley.
"Lin Yi...Lin Yi..."
The voice was continuous and intermittent, but it only called his name, or a certain number.
In the forest-white mist, some strange figures seemed to appear. They were nocturnal species, and they seemed not to be ordinary nocturnal species, but... hound-like nocturnal species in the corridor of the art building!
These hounds are wandering and wandering in the fog, but they are frightened by the lights of the canteen. They are afraid of the lights of the canteen just like nocturnal animals are afraid of street light poles.
They lingered on the boundary line, not daring to cross the line at all, but the desire and greed in their hearts were clearly captured by Lin Yi.
"Aren't they from the art building? How could they appear here?"
Lin Yi felt an inexplicable panic in his heart. He was not afraid, but when a cockroach appeared in his home, it meant that the cockroaches had gathered here.
"Lin Yi...Lin Yi..."
"You can't leave..."
"I can't walk away..."
"We are here waiting for you...waiting for you..."
The distant call came bit by bit, like a complete sentence that has lost its original flavor after many human-machine translations, but it is It was this residual energy that was still strong, like a beauty who had finished her day at a comic exhibition wearing shiny thick silk stockings and exposed her waxy bergamot feet...
In order to prevent this weird feeling from affecting his judgment and to allow himself to continue to perceive, Lin Yi had no choice but to make such an association.
In order to strengthen this association, Lin Yi moved Wei Liang out again.
If the blessed Wei Liang Tianzun was here, he would probably give Lin Yi's unprecedented association a name full of Liang's strange skills and tricks - Nuoxiang Smoked Fish (Jade).
"Pfft..."
Lin Yi himself smiled unkindly, and his perception was momentarily shaken.
And this adjustment allowed him to once again put his perception into the fog.
Before that, he turned his attention to his watch.
11:04.
Time continues to pass.
It seems that the safety status in front of the canteen has been greatly improved.
Since he has already arrived at his destination, Lin Yi is not in a hurry to enter the canteen immediately. After all, it is not easy to come here. He can get as much information as possible by staying for a while, and the more information he gets, the more cost-effective this trip will be.
He then continued to sense...
But here he was, he sensed nothing except the endless darkness and those hound-like nocturnal creatures.
The only thing that can be determined is that in the canteen layer in this state, the entire canteen is actually surrounded by hound-like nocturnal species, but those things do not dare to invade the boundary.
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly caught some tiny sounds from those calls...
"Crashing..."
"Crashing..."
The sound of water?
Beyond the boundaries of light, there is a line of defense!
A line of defense composed of iron chains!
"This layer... has also been constructed?!"
"Is the construction of the campus not limited to the buildings in the real world?!"
"Is this the real world?"
"The so-called reality... is just a highly anchored mirage, and the real reality is actually only a canteen?!"
Lin Yi thought about the design of the air-raid shelter in the canteen. Could it be that the so-called last line of defense is because the campus itself only has this line of defense?
Which level is the real world? !
"Lin Yi..."
"Lin Yi..."
Lin Yi's scalp was numb and his heart felt chilly despite repeated calls.
"Don't think about it any more, go directly to the boss and ask!"
Lin Yi calmed down and glanced at his watch.
11:05.
It turns out that thinking is the fastest sword. After thinking about it for a while, not even a minute passed.
Lin Yi took a deep breath and walked to the door of the canteen.
Just after Lin Yi calmed down, the call began to fade away, and the hound-like nocturnal creature also disappeared like the ebbing tide.
However, the thick fog is still surging wantonly, as if it has substance, cold and sticky, slowly wrapping around every inch of the land.
When everything disappeared, there seemed to be only one last sound left in the darkness, which was the sound of the iron chains slightly colliding and shaking in the wind.
…
In front of the canteen, there is still the familiar pattern -
There is no mistake, one piece, one post, one content, one by one!
Familiar snacks are placed on the familiar shelves;
The familiar "Open" sign hangs on the familiar door;
The familiar doors are open and closed, and inside is the familiar, gray and completely unclear picture...
Only this time, Lin Yi's bag was already filled with free tomatoes, but there was no way to buy anything else. If it had to be said, Lao Mo's backpack could still be used, but only if Lao Mo's heart was given to the canteen owner.
"Boss, boss, I'm here as promised..."
Lin Yi sighed secretly in his heart, and then thought of Lao Mo, and couldn't help but touch his backpack.
「Old Mo...」
He slowly approached the door of the canteen, but just when he reached the door and was about to step in, his whole body suddenly trembled!
He suddenly took half a step back, then stared at the door of the canteen with his eyes wide open, almost speechless in shock.
There is nothing unusual about the door of the canteen, but the problem is the gray material at the door!
"This, this is...'Ashes'?!"
A layer of gray mist floated at the door of the canteen, and the mist was extremely grainy, like countless floating dust. This feeling was too familiar to Lin Yi, wasn't it "Ashes"? !
But...why are there so many ashes at the door of the canteen? !
When did it happen?
It seemed like there was one when I came here last time? !
Because he remembered that the portal had not changed!
Corresponding training has been carried out..."
"But... it's not right. In that case, Mu Daxian and Mao Zi also entered the canteen, shouldn't there be a problem?"
"And the red light of the canteen was flashing at that time, and there were some nocturnal species and green bib chefs who also entered the canteen."
"So... those ashes are just floating over there? Just like the ashes floating on my shadow back then, although they are there, they don't actually affect others?"
Lin Yi pondered secretly and gradually discovered the clues.
"In other words... the canteen itself carries the ashes!"
"And because the canteen is not a living body, there will be no abnormality if it carries it!"
h "Then Isn’t the canteen a natural “container” for ashes? "
"Wait... If this is the case, doesn’t it mean that the official has already had a way to collect the ashes?"
Lin Yi suddenly felt cold all over.
He thought of more and deeper things.
If this conjecture is true, the officials have actually already grasped and started to collect the ashes, but others don't know about it at all. Even the infiltration organization "God's Domain" is kept in the dark, so the officials have been strategizing?
Lin Yi suddenly felt that things had suddenly become complicated again. A university in city S, on the surface, only used experience students to anchor the campus layer, and sent high-inspiration experience students to the gymnasium or art building to be trained as combat units. But now, it seems that the officials are in control of the development of all events, both macro and micro?
Of course, whether it is true or not depends on how much information and channels the authorities have.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, would rather overestimate the official's strength.
Because if it works officially, it really works. If it doesn’t work, it will explode.
The worst guess is that even the officials don’t know about the situation at the canteen.
The more moderate theory is that the ashes belong to the owner of the canteen.
Lin Yi never expected that he had just arrived at the canteen and had already been involved in many unknown events without doing anything.
Before I could get out of one whirlpool, I stepped half-foot into another whirlpool.
He now wanted to ask the canteen owner even more questions. It could even be said that his stomach was full of questions.
With no time or inclination to think about anything else, Lin Yi took a deep breath and entered the canteen.
The moment he stepped into the small shop door, the ashes floating on the entire door seemed to be pulled and gathered towards Lin Yi...
Others walked through thousands of flowers without a single leaf touching them, but Lin Yi was completely opposite. Every part of his body was covered with leaves, and even some of the petals were taken away.
When he entered the door, he didn't notice it at all, but when he passed through the portal and entered the canteen, he felt some kind of strong pulling feeling behind him.
He turned around in confusion and found that the ashes floating on the door of the canteen were clinging to his body like a mouse's sticky board. The ashes seemed to have turned into sticky threads, tightly connecting him to the door.
He tried to move forward, and then found that he could move.
But the further he walked, the stronger the pull became. After a few steps, he couldn't walk anymore.
And between him and the door, there was a long slime strip made of ash...
"Holy crap, what the hell is this?!"
Lin Yi moved his arms. He could move, but his flexibility was greatly reduced.
He knew that he had fallen into some kind of trap, but this trap... he always felt that it was not set for him.
But despite this, the problem still arises.
No matter who this trap was set for, it has finally fallen on his head.
And the worst guess is...
This is a trap set to catch him.
But here... only the canteen owner can lay traps!
Does the canteen owner need to set up a trap? !
Just to deal with him, a little Karami?
No way?
Definitely not.
Unless...
He is seriously injured!
