67: Chapter 31 Brainstorming_3 67: Chapter 31 Brainstorming_3 “Don’t even think about overstepping your thoughts right now!”

He slowly ate his food, pricking up his ears to listen to the sounds around him.

His heartbeat began to slow down.

His mind started to become calm.

His thoughts started to become clear.

“Although both the cafeteria and the teaching building mentioned the keyword ‘ignore’, there are still some differences in details.”

“This might have something to do with the cafeteria’s opening hours…”

“The opening hours of the cafeteria are from 5:40 to 8:00 in the morning, from 10:40 to 13:20 at noon, and from 16:00 to 20:00 in the evening.

Speaking from a timing perspective, all coincide with when the building is lit.”

“Plus, entry is prohibited during abnormal weather, so one can usually assume it is sunny whenever entering.”

“Because of this, the dangers brought about by the cafeteria’s environment can be simply summarized as [do not enter areas without light] and [stay away from dark areas in the cafeteria].”

“Since [a darkened cafeteria is different from a classroom, with no safe areas], from another perspective, areas in the student cafeteria that are both sunny and lit are safe zones.”

“It’s precisely because of this that neither the chef with the green apron nor the chef with the blue apron who left the serving window did anything bad to me.”

“Did the chef with the green apron not notice me?”

Lin Yi was skeptical about this, which could be answered by the time during foggy weather when the chef with the green apron asked if he wanted tomato meat sauce spaghetti.

The chef with the green apron, unlike the off-kilter classmates, was able to “see” people.

But Lin Yi did not “respond” to his “request for interaction,” just like the chef with the blue apron who left the serving window.

Because he didn’t respond, he did not enter into their certain mechanism.

“I don’t know if cafeteria chefs have a killing mechanism, but I’ll assume they do, and one of the triggers might be ‘responding’—at least that seems to be the case during safe time periods!”

“As for the safe timeslot…”

Disregarding the potential pursuit from the chef with the green apron upon leaving, the initial judgment for meeting the conditions of a safe timeslot is twofold: sunny weather and lighting.

The first condition currently poses no issues, but the second…

After the lesson in the teaching building, Lin Yi dare not vouch for the lighting capabilities of the cafeteria’s incandescent bulbs.

While the cafeteria rule “eat quickly and leave the cafeteria immediately after finishing your meal” is correct, Lin Yi still felt that something was off.

Perhaps…

adhering to the rules in itself is a very difficult thing to do?

The whole process, from telling Wei Liang to keep his head down and eat to double-checking his own thoughts, seemed to have gone through a lengthy brainstorm, but it actually only took a few mouthfuls of food.

He buried his head in his food and finally finished the remaining food in less than a minute.

But just as he committed to cleaning his plate, his gaze accidentally fell upon a terrifying scene reflected in the shiny alloy dinner plate.

This clear alloy plate, like a mirror, reflected the surroundings, and through this reflection, Lin Yi discovered…

at this very moment, he and Wei Liang were surrounded by people.

None of these people were eating; instead, they were uniformly focusing their gaze on them.

“What the hell…”

He had been better off not noticing, but once he did, Lin Yi’s scalp went numb instantly.

The mania, bloodlust, craziness, greed, and longing contained within those numerous gazes bore down on him like a hefty boulder, almost suffocating him.

“Liangzi, damn it…

have you finished eating?!” Lin Yi clenched his teeth and growled his question almost in a roar.

“Not more not less, just finished!” Wei Liang replied from across.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, collected himself for a moment, then said, “Count to three, and then run with me!”

“Okay!”

“Three…”

“Two…”

“Wait, wait, wait…

Old Lin, Old Lin!” As he counted down to two, Wei Liang’s trembling scream filled with fear and panic came from across.

“Damn it!!!

Fuck!

Fuck!

Old Lin!!

Old Lin!!”

“There’s…

something!

Licking my shoes!!!”
