Rules-related weird stories: 4016

After being pulled away by Wei Liang, Lin Yi smoothly blended into the queue.

"Old Lin, let me tell you, the food in this cafeteria is amazing. There are a few dishes that are basically must-haves. Come on, let me recommend some to you…" Wei Liang's voice trailed off.

After merging into the crowd, Lin Yi found that the discomfort that had been enveloping him had subsided slightly.

But even so, he still felt like he was walking with difficulty through a swamp, always feeling like something was grabbing his feet.

He followed Wei Liang towards the food window, but just as he looked at Wei Liang, he felt an unbelievable… uncomfortable feeling from Wei Liang.

This feeling was as thin as a silk thread, but it was unusually clear, like a strand of egg white in clear water, a change from zero to one.

Lin Yi was slightly stunned, but immediately realized something, and a chill rose in his heart: "Liangzi… is in trouble!"

He looked at Wei Liang, who at this moment was still recommending the cafeteria's special dishes to him.

He said that there were a few dishes that he had eaten last time and had never forgotten, and he would have to eat more this time no matter what.

"He doesn't seem to have any problems…" Lin Yi stared at Wei Liang's back, his brows gradually furrowing, "But there is definitely a problem!"

He looked Wei Liang up and down, and suddenly noticed an inconspicuous dark red, sticky stain on Wei Liang's shoes.

"Huh? Is that… ketchup?!"

Lin Yi's eyes lit up, but then his scalp went numb, and the chill in his heart instantly turned into a stream of air, seeping out from the top of his head, almost causing his blood pressure to become unbalanced!

"But when did Liangzi get ketchup on him?"

He was puzzled, but suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him, and he immediately reacted—

"It's that kick!"

"Liangzi just kicked that guy in the green apron!"

"So it got on him from his face?"

"But that guy's face was covered in white foundation, so where did he get the ketchup from?"

The image of the chef in the green apron slowly appeared in Lin Yi's mind, but he immediately shook his head, breaking his memory, and dispersing the image that was about to appear, as if he were drawing water with his hands.

He felt a burst of horror—he couldn't think about this kind of thing in a place without sunlight!

So he looked at Wei Liang's heel and finally confirmed that Wei Liang only had a little ketchup on the shoe that kicked the chef in the green apron, and the other shoe was still clean.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "Now that I've found the problem, it'll be easy to handle."

Without delay, he planned to tell Wei Liang immediately, but just at this moment, the student in front of Wei Liang finished ordering, and it was Wei Liang's turn next.

Wei Liang leaned forward, reached out a hand, and pointed vaguely at the dishes in the window: "Auntie, please give me some of this, this, this… and this, thank you!"

The cafeteria auntie responded and skillfully scooped up the dishes, and then, in front of Wei Liang, activated the locking skill that every cafeteria auntie has, "Soulful Three Tosses", tossing a full spoonful of meat into three crispy bones and placing them in the grid of the plate.

Wei Liang's eyes twitched at this operation, but considering that a meal without being tossed a few times lacked soul, he gritted his teeth and offered a smile, took the plate, and took it to the card reader.

"Oh, right…" Just as Wei Liang was about to swipe his card, he suddenly turned his head with a痞帅痞帅(pǐ shuài pǐ shuài) posture, revealing a profile, and squinted at Lin Yi, saying coolly, "I almost forgot, there are skills to swiping your card in the cafeteria."

Speaking of this, Wei Liang staggered, because he found that Lin Yi was not looking at him at all.

"Hey, I say! Old Lin, Old Lin, Old Lin…"

"Ah?" Lin Yi, who was observing the dishes of the day, was taken aback, "What, what?"

Wei Liang repeated what he had just said, and then said: "Because the cafeteria rules say not to let student IDs appear in public view, I created this card-swiping method—"

"Old Lin, watch carefully, I'll only teach you this once!"

Wei Liang reached into his crotch… the pocket near it, and took out his student ID with an extremely flamboyant movement, and then swiped the student ID across the card reader like a dragonfly skimming the water.

It was as if the legendary wandering swordsman had torn the night sky with his blade, and the sound of hasaki echoed in the air.

When Wei Liang put away his blade, the surrounding area was full of eyes looking at him.

The air suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere once solidified.

Even the逼王(bī wáng) Wei Liang felt a slight awkward atmosphere, he put away his student ID and pulled down the brim of his baseball cap.

"Di—"

The card reader made a crisp sound, breaking the awkward atmosphere, and a line of small characters followed on the card reader's interface:

"Name: Wei *…"

"Student ID: X023＊＊＊＊＊96."

Wei Liang coughed, reached out and clicked confirm, then took a box of free milk from the box next to the card reader and said to Lin Yi, "Old Lin, I'll go find a seat first! You take your time getting food!"

After saying that, he wanted to squeeze out of the crowd and escape this awkward atmosphere.

But when Lin Yi thought of the ketchup, he quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute, Liangzi, wait for me, I have something to tell you!"

"Oh, what's the matter, let's talk about it later!" Wei Liang picked up the plate, wishing he could bury his face in it, and then squeezed through the crowd to escape the scene.

But just as he took a step, a yin and cold air current suddenly climbed up his foot like a poisonous snake, causing his pace to suddenly freeze.

"?!"

Wei Liang seemed to have a premonition, his pupils contracted for the first time since entering the campus.

He slowly retracted the step he had taken, then held the plate in one hand, touched the back of his head, and looked at Lin Yi and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you, but hurry up, I'm afraid there won't be any seats later."

As Wei Liang spoke, he pursed his lips and pointed to the few empty seats in the student restaurant with his eyes.

But just as he scanned those empty seats, he saw a chef sitting upright in one of them, silently looking at him and Lin Yi.

The corner of the apron was exposed from behind the table, a ghastly green like a green lantern in a tomb.

"Damn…" Wei Liang cursed inwardly.

Just then, Lin Yi's voice sounded in his ear.

"Soon, soon!"

As early as when Wei Liang and the previous students were ordering, he had observed the environment inside the food window.

First of all, each food window is in an independent space, the food windows are not connected to each other, and there is only one entrance and exit.

Inside the food window, there is a large row of food placed on alloy food racks, the dishes are indeed rich, and there is a very large selection.

Secondly, inside the window, there were three employees dressed in blue-aproned chef uniforms. One of them was the cafeteria lady, responsible for serving students, and the other two seemed to be organizing plates and other utensils.

The three employees worked independently, without interfering with each other. Even when passing plates and utensils, there was no communication.

From the moment he could observe the food purchase window until now, everyone inside the window seemed to have placed all their focus on the task at hand.

Lin Yi was worried about Wei Liang, so he casually ordered one meat dish and two vegetable dishes.

After getting his meal, Lin Yi took the tray from the cafeteria lady and walked to the card swiping machine, reaching into his pocket for his student ID.

But just as his hand touched the student ID, a long-lost, icy aura suddenly enveloped him.

His movements stiffened slightly.

He slowly took out his student ID, keeping his head slightly lowered throughout the process, scanning his surroundings with the corner of his eye.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed that some of the students who were originally sitting in the student cafeteria eating had suddenly sat up straight. Then, they all turned their gazes and focused their attention on him, specifically on his hand that was reaching into his pocket and holding the student ID.

The convergence of countless gazes, like venomous snakes spitting their tongues, intertwined together, making Lin Yi feel an unprecedented sense of dread.

At one point, he could even feel the emotions contained within those gazes.

Icy, greedy, vicious, eager, obsessed… and bloodthirsty!

Lin Yi felt like he was holding a pack of explosives in his hand, and it would explode as soon as he took it out, which was why these students were looking at him like this.

Or, he felt like he was holding a delicious delicacy in his hand, and taking it out would trigger a frantic scramble from these students.

A strong sense of crisis welled up in his subconscious. No matter what he did, it seemed that as long as the student ID was exposed, it would cause a huge riot.

At this moment, Lin Yi truly understood the meaning of the sentence in the cafeteria rules:

【Do not let the student ID appear in public view.】

The actions of Wei Liang from the previous moment appeared in his mind again as if by some ghostly command…

Lin Yi's eyes lit up. At this moment, he seemed to have comprehended the supreme art of swordsmanship.

He took a deep breath, pressed his palm tightly against the student ID, and gripped the edges of the student ID with his thumb and four fingers. Then, with lightning speed, he pulled it out…

At this moment, Lin Yi was possessed by a sword saint, wielding the student ID to perform a void sword technique, swiping it across the card swiping machine like lightning, and then returning it to his pocket!

"Huff—"

Lin Yi slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and released his five fingers that were tightly gripping the student ID.

The venomous, sinister gazes retreated like a tide as his palm separated from the student ID.

Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, slowly setting down the huge stone in his heart.

Despite this, he was already covered in a cold sweat.

At this moment, the card swiping machine made a crisp "beep—" sound, as if echoing his supreme card swiping swordsmanship.

Immediately afterward, a line of small characters appeared on the card swiping machine's interface:

“Name: Lin *.”

“Student ID: X023 * * * * * 98.”

Seeing that both the name and student ID were correct, Lin Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, clicked confirm, and prepared to take a box of free milk and leave with his tray.

But just as he grabbed the milk, he suddenly felt the square milk carton lose its edges, and a rounded sensation appeared.

He was slightly stunned, his eyeballs rolled around, and his gaze moved extremely stiffly to his hand.

"?!" Lin Yi's heart trembled.

What milk was he holding in his hand? It was clearly a ripe, reddened tomato!

He let go as if he had been electrocuted, and the tomato slipped down, falling back into the box containing the milk.

But just as the tomato fell, another hand reached over and caught it.

A chef wearing a blue apron stood next to the card swiping machine at some point, holding the tomato in one hand, while his gaze was fixed on Lin Yi.

“Be careful, classmate, the tomato will break if it falls.” The blue-aproned chef gave people a completely different feeling from the green-aproned chef. He didn't have that indescribable sense of terror; instead, he was relatively friendly.

Lin Yi was about to respond when a rule suddenly came to his mind:

【All cafeteria staff must stay inside the staff activity area and the food purchase window, and will not appear in the student cafeteria area. If you find an employee appearing in the cafeteria area, please ignore him.】

Ignore!

Ignore again!!

Lin Yi's heart sank, and he secretly thought that he had almost been tricked by the blue-aproned chef and fallen into his trap!

So, he silently picked up his tray, didn't bother to take the milk again, and walked directly towards Wei Liang.

“Hey, classmate, you haven’t taken your milk yet. The cafeteria’s milk is free, don’t miss it!” the blue-aproned chef kindly reminded him.

But Lin Yi walked even faster.

“Old Lin?” Wei Liang quickly greeted him when he saw Lin Yi coming over.

Lin Yi ignored Wei Liang's call. He lowered his head and tried to keep his gaze as low as possible. As he brushed past Wei Liang, he lowered his voice and said, “Liangzi, go! Follow me! Don't worry about anything!”

Wei Liang was shocked, and although he didn't understand what was going on, he chose to do as he was told on the spot.

At this moment, the blue-aproned chef's voice rang out behind him: “Classmate, are you together? Your friend dropped a box of milk, take it to him!”

As he spoke, he reached into Wei Liang's field of vision with one hand, slowly handing over a box of milk.

There was no way Wei Liang would take this box of milk. He was still in shock from what had just happened. Now, seeing a hand handing over milk, his scalp tingled, and the chill that rushed out of his head almost blew off his baseball cap.

“Holy shit, don’t mess with me!!!”

Wei Liang wanted to cry but had no tears. He greased the soles of his feet and followed Lin Yi as if fleeing for his life.

Watching the fleeing figures of Lin Yi and Wei Liang, the blue-aproned chef stood silently in place, holding the milk in one hand and the tomato in the other.

“Don’t drink milk… don’t… eat tomatoes either?”

He muttered to himself, his voice dry and stiff.

Suddenly, he grabbed the tomato to his mouth and opened his mouth wide to take a bite.

“Pfft—”

Tomato juice splattered all over his face, but he didn't even blink.

“Croak! Croak! Croak…”

He stared at the backs of Lin Yi and Wei Liang, chewing the tomato bit by bit, tomato juice slowly flowing from the corners of his mouth…

Scarlet, viscous…

Like blood.
