Chapter 72 - 72 34 Staff Passage

72: Chapter 34 Staff Passage 72: Chapter 34 Staff Passage Lin Yi saw the situation but couldn’t find any words of comfort.

Wei Liang’s sneakers were a limited edition collaboration between Flying Man brand and the famous idol tr*ining Aikun, featuring a distinct Aikun dribbling logo on the tongue and Aikun’s signature Iron Shoulder move on the side of the sneakers.

When wearing these shoes and shaking his foot, the Iron Shoulder move seemed to come to life.

As a result, Wei Liang would deliberately shake his foot from time to time.

But now, this pair of limited-edition collaborative sneakers was about to be retired.

With a heavy heart, Wei Liang hung his head and followed Lin Yi toward the Staff Passage.

At this moment, the sunlight outside the passage was just right, and the two walking under the sun felt enveloped by a flow of warmth.

The Staff Passage and Student Passage were located on opposite sides of the cafeteria, and from the exit of the Student Passage to the exit of the Staff Passage was a few dozen meters, requiring them to follow the floor tiles up a small slope and around the side of the cafeteria.

The slope was lined with dense camphor trees and occasionally punctuated by lampposts between the trees.

Lin Yi looked down at his watch.

12:48.

“It’s already 12:48?”

He frowned slightly, remembering that it was just after 12 o’clock when he was queuing up; he hadn’t expected more than 40 minutes to pass in a blink of an eye.

“But I’m not in the ‘cafeteria’ now, am I?”

Lin Yi pondered for a moment.

“However…”

“Although the cafeteria’s lunchtime hours are 10:40 – 13:20, to be safe, I should just ditch these shoes and make a hasty exit!”

He scanned the nearby lampposts and saw the numbers painted with white paint: “Cafeteria-002,” “Cafeteria-031,” “Cafeteria-014″…

“As I thought, the numbers are still scrambled,” he muttered to himself and continued toward the Staff Passage.

But as he passed a particular shaded area under the camphor trees, he suddenly felt a chill breeze blow through the grove.

A sensation of being watched silently fell upon him.

A chill attacked and he shivered involuntarily.

At this moment, Wei Liang’s voice came from behind him unexpectedly:

“Old Lin.”

Lin Yi was startled and stiffened his back immediately.

However, he didn’t respond to the voice, unsure whether he should look back, so he gritted his teeth and quickened his pace towards the Staff Passage.

“Damn it, Old Lin, slow down, wait for me, wait for me…” The voice suddenly became anxious, “I feel a chilling breeze, this path doesn’t feel right, let’s walk closer to the sun!”

“This act is getting quite convincing!” Lin Yi felt a surge of pressure.

He took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and rushed down the slope, heading straight for the Staff Passage.

“Hey, close up!” Wei Liang’s voice became urgent.

“Tatatata…”

A series of hurried footsteps followed Lin Yi, raising the hairs on the back of his neck as if they would flutter in the wind.

After running down the slope for a distance, he quickly reached the entrance of the Staff Passage.

Ignoring the voice behind him and the eerie feeling of being watched, he quickly located the trash can and squatted down to take off his shoes.

But as he was taking off his shoes, his gaze involuntarily fell on the tomato sauce that had gotten onto his shoes.

He paused slightly.

Then, he was shocked.

“Huh?

This—”

Lin Yi couldn’t believe what he was seeing as the patch of tomato sauce that had been on his shoes had now turned into a white solid mass.

“What’s this?!”

He rubbed his eyes and looked closely again, then realized that the whitish substance seemed to be…

“Gypsum?” he squinted his eyes, “Wasn’t it tomato sauce?

When did it turn into gypsum?”

He remembered it being tomato sauce in his mind…

No, wait, was it really tomato sauce?

He recalled…

Had he actually noticed anything on his shoes before?

“Seems like…

no?”

“Was there or wasn’t there…?”

He looked at the gypsum-like substance on his shoes, falling into a brief state of confusion.

In that moment, Lin Yi failed to notice a slight distortion starting to appear on the tiles beneath his feet…

It was like the pattern on a python’s skin.

A nameless sense of crisis quietly enveloped him.

Even though the sun was shining brightly in a clear sky, when Lin Yi experienced this cognitive dissonance, the whole world seemed to distort along with his confused state.

The shadow stretching over half of the leafy path, following the distortion of the tiles, slowly crept towards Lin Yi…

“No, no, Liangzi reminded me to look at my shoes, I clearly remember that it was tomato sauce!”

Lin Yi recollected.

“So it was tomato sauce, after all!”

He confirmed his thought—the substance had indeed been tomato sauce before, but it had now turned into a gypsum-like material.

When his thoughts were no longer in disarray, that indescribable sensation dissipated like a breeze…

“Phew—”

The breeze brushed Lin Yi’s face, and he was totally unaware that the ground beneath his feet had just shown a slight distortion…

He took off his shoes, looking at the gypsum-like substance on them, and with curiosity tapped on the ground lightly.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The gypsum-like material clung to the shoes as if they were solid steel, turning the whole pair of sneakers into a pair of stiff stones.

“This is bizarre,” Lin Yi couldn’t help but smack his lips, “Tomato sauce turning into gypsum, that’s just laughable…

wait a minute!”
