#266 - The tempting aroma in the store
"This matter... I also need to tell Tian Gongzi about it, so that he has a way to deal with it in case he encounters something like this."
Thinking of this, Lin Yi lifted his foot and stepped into the student passage.
...
May 9, X023, 11:29, Cafeteria Tuck Shop.
Within a doorway swirling with chaotic gray mist, several figures, as if piercing through a crystal membrane, stepped into the tuck shop.
"This is the tuck shop?" Zhang Lingzhen looked at the bunker-like environment of the tuck shop, both curious and surprised.
The Penguin Pseudo-Human Art Student ignored Zhang Lingzhen, and instead glanced sideways at the Bandage Pseudo-Human Art Student: "Take some supplies and leave here first, then go and set up a trap for those two guys... Don't let them run away."
"After you're done, see you in class."
"Okay, Little Liu, come with me." The Bandage Pseudo-Human Art Student gave a low response, then led a Pseudo-Human Art Student into the shelving area, heading towards the exit of the tuck shop.
Zhang Lingzhen watched the back of the Bandage Pseudo-Human Art Student, her brow furrowed in thought.
"A Zhen, come with me, I'll take you to get the student commemorative coins..." The Penguin Pseudo-Human Art Student said, "Although that thing is useless, it is an indispensable part of the 'Glorious Evolution' process."
Zhang Lingzhen didn't understand much, she just nodded weakly.
Just as she was about to follow the Penguin Pseudo-Human Art Student, a gust of wind suddenly blew through the door frame, and a rustling sound of paper fluttering came from behind Zhang Lingzhen.
Zhang Lingzhen was stunned for a moment, and looked over, just in time to see the notice on the door frame of the tuck shop that seemed to be fluttering in the wind.
"Huh, Senior Ren, there seems to be a little tip here!" Zhang Lingzhen exclaimed.
"Don't bother with it." The Penguin Pseudo-Human Art Student, Senior Ren, changed his expression slightly, but stopped Zhang Lingzhen from observing the tuck shop's rules, "That thing will affect your judgment, you just need to do what I say, this place... has too many traps."
Zhang Lingzhen's expression changed when she heard this, and she quickly turned her neck away.
But just as she quickly turned her neck, some subtle cracks seemed to appear on her neck, making it difficult to tell whether they were traces of makeup powder being rubbed out by the wrinkles of her skin, or... traces that appeared directly on her neck.
Zhang Lingzhen silently followed the Pseudo-Human Art Student, Senior Ren, forward. After walking for a while, she seemed to smell something delicious, her nostrils flared, and she looked at a certain area of the shelves.
"Senior Ren, what's over there?" Zhang Lingzhen pointed to the place where the tempting scent came from, and asked curiously.
Senior Ren paused and looked in the direction Zhang Lingzhen was pointing. Then, not knowing what he saw, a hint of surprise and fear flashed in his eyes.
"It's nothing... Let's go."
"Aww... Okay then." Zhang Lingzhen pouted, but her heart was itching. Just like when she used to instigate others to press the door opening button on the blue bus, she had a faint rebellious bone in her heart. Hearing Senior Ren's words, she became even more curious... and hungry for what was on the shelves.
Her intuition told her that there must be something very delicious there.
Zhang Lingzhen agreed insincerely, but her eyes were constantly glancing at the shelving area, becoming more and more reluctant to leave.
As she walked, she inadvertently strayed off course... until she accidentally bumped headfirst into a shelf with a "thump", letting out a painful "ouch" of surprise, which finally brought her attention back.
"It hurts..." She rubbed her body, only to realize that she had completely lost contact with Senior Ren and the others.
"Senior Ren?"
"Senior Ren...?"
"Senior Ren!"
Zhang Lingzhen realized that she had completely lost contact with Senior Ren and the others after just one turn, and she couldn't help but become anxious, so she shouted loudly, trying to get their attention.
But after calling out several times, she didn't get any response.
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
A faint wind blew through the bunker-like tuck shop. In that deep, dark area that even the incandescent lights couldn't reach, it felt like pairs of eyes were staring at her, making her body feel cold and her hair stand on end...
Just then, she smelled that faint but extremely tempting scent again.
"Gulp..."
She swallowed hard. Since entering school, she hadn't smelled such a mouth-watering scent in the past few days. At this moment, her stomach was growling.
"Never mind... Let's go take a look..." Zhang Lingzhen muttered, and then, driven by rebelliousness and curiosity, deviated from her already slightly off course route and began to walk towards the place where the tempting scent was coming from...
On the other side, Senior Ren, who was walking between the shelves, suddenly noticed something was wrong. He turned around and immediately realized that Zhang Lingzhen was gone.
"Not good!" Senior Ren's expression changed drastically. He suddenly thought of the smell Zhang Lingzhen had just mentioned, and a chill ran down his spine. "You guys go find the student commemorative coins first, I'll go find A Zhen, meet at the shopping terminal!"
The remaining Pseudo-Human Art Students next to him immediately nodded: "Okay..."
Senior Ren quickly returned the way he came, and after several turns, returned to the original position, and then looked in the direction Zhang Lingzhen had pointed to. He faintly "sensed" Zhang Lingzhen's presence, but was also certain that she had continued to walk forward for a distance.
He followed the sensation and continued forward, then walked through a winding path and saw the shelf that Zhang Lingzhen had bumped into. On the surface of that shelf, there were still some white powdery particles left, as if Zhang Lingzhen's face and chest had picked them up after the collision.
"A Zhen...?"
He sensed the traces of Zhang Lingzhen, and then, following the path Zhang Lingzhen had taken, cautiously walked towards the depths of the dark shelving area...
As he continued to move forward, the light from the surrounding incandescent lights became dimmer and dimmer, even though the number of lights remained the same.
As he walked, Senior Ren heard some "rustling" sounds, which were mixed with some "smacking" sounds...
As he went deeper, the "smacking" sounds became clearer and clearer...
"A Zhen?"
Senior Ren vaguely saw a figure squatting on the ground in the darkness ahead. The outfit was exactly the same as Zhang Lingzhen's sailor uniform. Her body was trembling slightly, and the "smacking" sounds were constantly coming from that direction.
Further ahead were some old light bulbs that occasionally sputtered out a few sparks of electricity. The light bulbs flickered uncertainly, as if there was not enough power, and they would flicker from time to time, but they just wouldn't go out.
In that depths, was a pitch-black and deep hollow. The outer area of the hollow was within the range of the dim light. In that limited field of vision, one could already see the mountain of corpses piled up like garbage...
Those corpses were disfigured, and some of the skeletons still had traces of being violently smashed by a giant weapon like a heavy hammer... The corpses of some of the Night Walkers who had been killed by Mu Daxian were now discarded here like abandoned parts!
In the garbage heap, wreckage and broken limbs were everywhere. Between the limbs, some still had viscous slurry, hanging there like broken lotus roots. Some skin and flesh hung there like tattered rags, swaying with the faint, ghostly wind within the air-raid shelter...
Zhang Lingzhen was at the edge of the garbage heap, hugging a piece of meat-covered bone of unknown origin, gnawing frantically, her mouth making loud "smack smack" sounds. Saliva and unknown slurry splattered as she chewed.
"So delicious..."
"Really so delicious..."
Like a character from 《Food Wars!》, she seemed to be able to get herself aroused by eating, her body constantly trembling.
She feasted ravenously, her eyes empty yet filled with tears, her face and body covered in viscous filth and rotten debris...
"Smack smack... Smack smack..."
She was like a carrion rat in a damp nest, constantly gnawing at food, completely ignoring Ren Xuechang's calls, even... unable to hear them at all.
"A-Zhen?"
"A-Zhen...?"
Ren Xuechang reached out and patted Zhang Lingzhen's shoulder, but Zhang Lingzhen didn't seem to notice.
A hint of pity appeared in Ren Xuechang's eyes. He increased his strength and continued to pat Zhang Lingzhen's shoulder.
The newest novel is first published on 69shu.com!
"Ooo—Awoo!!" Zhang Lingzhen suddenly turned her head, opening her mouth towards Ren Xuechang like a wild beast!
Her mouth stretched to the roots of her ears, half of her head opening up like the upper jaw of a person eating soybeans, directly trying to tear and bite Ren Xuechang.
Seeing that he was about to be bitten by the blood-soaked mouth, a cluster of golden-green flames suddenly ignited in Ren Xuechang's eyes, like a faint will-o'-the-wisp.
He turned half his body, dodging Zhang Lingzhen's bite, and then struck her on the back of the head with a chop, knocking her unconscious on the ground.
"Thump!"
Zhang Lingzhen rolled her eyes, fainting on the spot.
"..."
Ren Xuechang looked down at Zhang Lingzhen, who had been instantly defeated by his move, the golden flames burning unextinguished in his narrowed eyes.
"It's still too late..."
He squatted down, straightened Zhang Lingzhen's body as if manipulating a puppet, then pieced together her head, which had split open with the blood-soaked mouth as the dividing line. Then, he picked her up in a princess carry and slowly walked out of this area of shelves.
...
May 9, X023, 11:38 AM, Student Tunnel Exit.
Just as Lin Yi walked out of the student tunnel, he stretched lazily, imitating Wei Liang's previous actions, and then deliberately amplified his voice, saying: "5 minutes! One hundred steps, just finished!"
Tian Bufan glanced at him, seemed to think of something, and then nodded: "Indeed, one hundred steps."
The group walked towards the notice board in front of the cafeteria one after another. After returning the cafeteria rules, Lin Yi said: "Young Master Tian, I also experienced a kind of unprecedented hallucination today... It happened when I was reading in the bookshelf area of the classroom."
Tian Bufan was slightly taken aback: "You ran to the bookshelf area to read?"
"Isn't it because I suddenly mastered the decryption method of encrypted information, and I was eager to try it... Is there a problem?"
"No... I'm just a little surprised, you continue."
Lin Yi nodded, his expression becoming much more solemn: "I received too much information at once, and then subconsciously summarized and organized a part of it... When I pieced the information together, it was like my soul left my body, and I entered a strange hallucination..."
"I seemed to see myself constantly shuttling through the Green Forest Belt, seeing the light in the depths of the mountains... I crossed that closed door and saw a coastline..."
"The world where that coastline was located... I didn't have time to look closely before it was covered by another hallucination..."
"That second hallucination... was very terrifying."
"It was a dilapidated bookshelf area, the books on the shelves were covered with dust, and in some places there were tattered pieces of paper stuck in the gaps between the broken wooden boards and the books..."
"The glass and windows on the dome of the bookshelf area were all broken, and the cold, humid wind blew in from the outside, the pages of the books rustling non-stop..."
"Black iron chains hung down from the dome, and countless humanoid sculptures were hanging on the chains. Those humanoid sculptures were broken and in a state of 'dying but not dead'..."
"They captured my name and seemed to be trying to use me as a medium to anchor themselves to the real layer..."
"The scariest thing is that they are haunting me, even after I came back, I seemed to accidentally fall into the layer in the student tunnel just now and saw them... Moreover, that kind of hallucination seems to be getting more and more serious..."
"I'm not sure what my connection with that hallucination is, and I haven't even found any clues... But they seem to be clinging to me, I don't know if this has anything to do with the 'He-I' mark..."
Tian Bufan asked sternly: "Why didn't you say so earlier when such a serious hallucination occurred?"
"I was worried about cognitive override, or arousing yours, so I wanted to wait until I left the cafeteria to tell you," Lin Yi said, "Because I had the problem in that student tunnel..."
"Okay... Your concerns are not unreasonable, but you can explain it as soon as possible next time, and everyone can think of a solution together," Tian Bufan said.
Lin Yi nodded slightly: "Then... do you have any ideas?"
Tian Bufan smiled bitterly: "Do you think I'm a god? Can I know so much information with a pinch of my fingers? The collection, organization, and analysis of information... seems simple but is actually very laborious."
"Uh... then have you 'unzipped' any information?" Lin Yi asked.
Tian Bufan covered his face speechlessly, and quickly corrected Lin Yi's increasingly rebellious thoughts: "Don't impose your definition of me! This is a human brain, okay!"
"Okay..." Lin Yi spread his hands, "Then be careful anyway, you think about so many things, it's easier to go astray than me..."
Tian Bufan patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will have a sense of proportion."
"Yeah." Lin Yi nodded.
At this time, Wei Liang asked: "Lao Lin, are you planning to take the classroom road to the gymnasium, or go directly to the gymnasium?"
He held the teaching building rules in his hand and waved them at Lin Yi.
Thank you book friends "Lin skylark", "usjdnshhs", "柒涩 堇", "Book friend 20211207180506401" for the rewards!!
PS: To correct something, the three types of angel sculptures are: Grimacing Angel, Wrathful Angel, Alien Angel. The first time I wrote it was Punishing Angel (Wrathful Angel), but later I thought that Punishing Angel sounded a little off, so I changed it to Wrathful Angel, and then I found that one of the previous chapters hadn't been changed, so I went to change it today.
In addition, added a hundred words.
