315: Chapter 146 Cafeteria Lights Flickering_2 315: Chapter 146 Cafeteria Lights Flickering_2 [The cafeteria with the lights off is unlike any classroom; there are no safety zones!]
The contents of the cafeteria rules flashed in Lin Yi’s mind.
anwhile, almost all the experience students and sports students who had taken off their blue and white striped athletic clothes began to evacuate the Student Cafeteria recklessly.
Yet Lin Yi, uncharacteristically, stood in front of the tray return station, as if thinking of sothing, and hesitantly did not put his tray down.
“Lin, Classmate Lin, let’s go quickly!” Li Huiyuan tugged anxiously at the corner of his clothes.
“No rush, no rush, no rush…” Lin Yi muttered to himself, maintaining the pose of wanting to put the tray down yet not doing so, his gaze sharply scanning the surroundings like a hawk.
Li Huiyuan was frantic, a layer of sweat forming amongst her hair.
She did not know what Lin Yi was planning, but wasn’t it the ti to follow the cafeteria rules and run?
Was Lin Yi planning to break the rules?!
Impossible!
In her mind, Lin Yi was definitely not that kind of person!
Suddenly, Lin Yi’s spirit lifted, and it seed as though a gleam of brilliance flashed in the depths of his profound eyes, “Found it!
Co with , quick!”
Imdiately, Lin Yi dropped the tray and grabbed Li Huiyuan’s hand, rushing in a direction completely opposite to the exit of the Student Cafeteria!
“Classmate Lin!
You’re running the wrong way!
The direction is wrong!” Li Huiyuan shouted anxiously, but her body was honest, not hindering Lin Yi at all.
She let him lead and even started running faster with him.
At that mont, Lin Yi’s confident and arrogant laughter rang in Li Huiyuan’s ears, “Yes, yes, that’s it!
I’ve found it!”
Li Huiyuan’s heart trembled, as if she realized sothing, and quickly looked in the direction Lin Yi was running.
At that mont inside the Student Cafeteria, the entire ceiling’s incandescent lights were flickering erratically, creating large patches of unevenly lit areas in the cafeteria.
The direction Lin Yi was sprinting towards was where the number 1 dining window was previously located.
When the cafeteria’s incandescent lights began to flicker, that area beca an unlit zone still illuminated by sunlight.
In that brief quarter-second of flickering light, the shadow of a door suddenly flashed on the originally blank wall like a double image!
The door was of limited size and was open with a shelf beside it, which held so small snacks.
There was also a small chair next to the door, but there was no one sitting on it.
And hanging on the door was a small round plaque, which read:
“Cafeteria Convenience Store (Open for Business).”
At this sight, her mind seed to explode into a mushroom cloud!
“A… A convenience store?!” Her pupils dilated dramatically, her heart trembling uncontrollably.
Lin Yi… had actually found the convenience store?
How did he do it?
“I told you, don’t give up!” There seed to be nothing but the convenience store left in Lin Yi’s eyes.
The strength of his grip on Li Huiyuan’s hand increased, and his typically not-so-angular face was tinged with a heart-stirring resolve.
As soon as the convenience store appeared, he knew his conjecture was correct!
[If the cafeteria lights start flickering, please!
Imdiately!
At all costs, use the Student Passage to leave the cafeteria!]
Yes!
This statent is correct!
However, there is another rule in the cafeteria rules!
[There is a convenience store in the cafeteria, but it is not recomnded to shop there unless necessary.]
[Due to its location, the convenience store may serve as a student passage to allow your exit in a “critical mont, ” but if you take this action, you must purchase at least one item from the store.]
The convenience store can serve as a student passage in a “critical mont”!
What does “critical mont” an?!
This was a judgnt based on the current situation of those who abide by the rules, and Lin Yi believed it was a “necessary mont,” so it was indeed “necessary mont”!
Therefore—
“Once the lights in the Student Cafeteria start flickering, please leave the cafeteria through the Student Passage imdiately!
At all costs!
At a necessary mont, the Convenience Store can also serve as a Student Passage for your exit, but if you do so, you must buy at least one item in the Convenience Store!”
“What!
Damn it!
Is this called top-level understanding?”
“This is top-level understanding!”
Lin Yi laughed wildly in his heart, unable to suppress the excitent that his deductions brought him, the feeling of dancing on the knife edge, racing against Death, no, against indescribable weird entities, brought him a peculiar sense of thrill.
A sense of excitent that was itching to burst forth, mixed with a feeling of trembling.
Just then, a pitch-black figure suddenly flashed like a ghost in the quarter second the incandescent light went out!
The figure was invisible, as if it existed in another world, but it was undeniably approaching them!
Lin Yi’s hair stood on end spontaneously, and a strong sense of crisis instantly enveloped him.
The world behind that afterimage…
Unknown, cold, mysterious, horrifying, perated with a sinister breath, as if it gathered countless indescribable entities!
Intuition told Lin Yi that this figure was no ordinary Nocturnal species!
Compared to a Nocturnal species, it was more like…
that human-shaped silhouette lurking in the dim area of the Teaching Building, eyeing him fiercely!
“Could it really be it?
Did it follow to the Cafeteria?!”
“How is that possible?”
The flickering of the incandescent lights beca more rapid, with so lights in the distance going out altogether, subrging parts of the Student Cafeteria in darkness, like a giant ship traversing the black ocean under the night sky suddenly capsizing, cold water rushing into the cabin, beginning to devour all areas!
“Putt, putt, putt…”
One by one, the incandescent lights went out irregularly, turning the brightly lit Student Cafeteria suddenly into a chessboard filled with traps, with Lin Yi, pulling Li Huiyuan and running through the black and white squares, resembling a knight fleeing with a princess in a desperate escape, sotis having to specifically detour because a light ahead suddenly went out.
The short straight distance suddenly radiated the tense feeling of a deadly rally in Bayinbuluke.
Every now and then, as Lin Yi inadvertently glanced over the areas devoid of incandescent lighting, it was as if he saw an unfathomable abyss, the dark areas seed like caves cut out by an invisible hand with a black curtain, capable of devouring any life that tried to cast its gaze therein.
He seed to hear from within, a strange yet familiar drumming sound, like the sound of a gigantic heart beating slowly with the pumping of blood.
He instantly realized, this seed to be…
the sound from deep within the Cafeteria’s minus one floor!
This pitch-black abyss, could it be connecting the first floor of the Cafeteria and the minus one floor, or else…
When the layer plumted, the first floor of the Cafeteria…
was it the minus one floor?!
His mind flitted through the image of the Moss outside the minus one floor of the Cafeteria, thought of the Moss in the Student Passage, thought of the dense fog filling the Student Passage…
Ocean!
Could it be the ocean?!
That non-existent ocean, rising from the minus one floor of the Cafeteria, pushing the white fog to inundate the Student Passage, and then…
flooding into the Student Cafeteria!
Nocturnal species climbing out of the sea water, their twisted figures stretching out like tree trunks soaked in water, turning into walking corpses, occupying the whole cafeteria!
“Boom—”
Lin Yi fiercely shook his head, deleting these “impractical” images from his brain, then took a deep breath, tightly grasping Li Huiyuan’s hand and rushing towards the Convenience Store!
Suddenly, an incandescent light right in front of him went out with a “putt” sound, and the space ahead seed as if it had been cut off by a black cubic column of light, Lin Yi tensed his muscles for an abrupt halt, feeling as if he had just perford a cliff-restraining maneuver on a horse!
At the sa ti, he felt that just three centiters away from him, within that pitch-black cube, appeared a shadowy figure like a ghost!
It was the green Pocket Chef in a humanoid spider form!
