Chapter 442: Chapter 195: The Difference Between Art Students and Sports Students (Additional 1100 words!)_2

"You’re the kind without a choice, the only path before you is that of an Art Student, led to the Art Building by the Dormitory Supervisor, guided on your way by the hands of an Art Teacher," said Mu Daxian.

"As for those who came in the same batch as you, lured away by the Pseudo-Human Art Teacher, they are the ones who didn’t even get the chance to see the options."

"Not having obtained the corresponding status, yet still affected by the contamination, their bodies emit that kind of unstable aura. Take a look at this Cafeteria, nearly everyone here has a faint green aura around them, right?"

Mao Feiyang looked around and then nodded.

"Now, look at yourself," Mu Daxian said.

Mao Feiyang looked down at himself.

"Do you see the difference?"

Mao Feiyang paused, thought for a moment, and replied, "Is it that mine is more ’stable’?"

"Exactly, ’stable.’ For the Polluted, it represents a relatively ’safe state,’" Mu Daxian explained. "It’s like running; maintaining a steady pace and smooth breathing is much likelier to yield results than stumbling along."

"Their state is extremely unstable, falling into a vicious cycle, easily becoming targets for Pseudo-Human attacks."

"But some are only lightly contaminated, with a slow rate of pollution, so they muddle through until the time to leave campus."

"Those who can’t make it are completely trapped in the school, turning into Pseudo-Humans or something even worse than Pseudo-Humans."

Mao Feiyang fell silent for a moment and then said, "Pseudo-Humans... is that the fate of those who came in the same batch as me?"

Mu Daxian let out a cold laugh, "That would be considered good."

Mao Feiyang was alarmed, "It gets worse?"

"The thing about the bottom line is like stockings," Mu Daxian suddenly came up with a golden saying, "Given enough, you can keep taking them off until there is none."

Mao Feiyang opened his mouth in surprise, thinking to himself that this is truly a speech full of ’nakedness’ that can only come from someone in art.

"Let’s go after you finish eating," said Mu Daxian as he stood up with his tray.

Although Mao Feiyang was eating slowly, he had finished as well, and now he stood up as well.

Mu Daxian then led Mao Feiyang towards the tray return area.

What surprised Lin Yi was that there were also several tray return areas in other passageways directions, but those tray return areas seemed to be in shadowed areas.

Not the pure sense of a shadowed area, but... If he looked from where he usually entered the Student Cafeteria, that area should be a shadowed area.

But now...

"Wait!" Lin Yi seemed to have realized something, "Could it be that each different passageway into the Student Cafeteria leads to a different layer?"

He immediately thought of the Student Cafeteria seen from before and after the plastic curtain—it was different!

"Which means, the Student Cafeteria indeed has a possibility of having multiple layers overlaid!"

"The people from different layers are intersecting within the same space..."

"Could the green-aproned chef exist on another layer?"

"Can people from different layers intervene into others through some special method, causing contamination or other effects?"

"So, maybe the rules that mention not minding others are to prevent interference and contamination from different layers?"

Lin Yi felt as if he had captured some inspiration; a vague conceptual model even emerged in his mind. He felt he only needed some time to clarify the logic here, but now was not the right time.

As Mao Feiyang rose from the table to leave, Lin Yi suddenly had a strange sensation, as if he had seen something and paused.

Then he immediately looked back at the place his gaze had swept over and followed that strange feeling...

"?!"

Lin Yi was startled, blinked a few times to make sure, and indeed, he had not seen wrong.

The No. 10 meal window.

He clearly saw the location of the No. 10 meal window—right next to the No. 5 meal window!

In the real Student Cafeteria, that spot was a shadowed area, and theoretically, even if light reached that spot, it should be a wall, yet now he distinctly saw the existence of that window!

This bizarre feeling was as if the area of the Student Cafeteria had been stretched out by darkness, and then a No. 10 meal window was forcibly inserted in the space between the No. 5 meal window and the wall!

Even more outrageous was that people were queuing in front of the No. 10 meal window!

People were queuing!

Those people didn’t appear to have any issues, but through Mao Feiyang’s perspective, he could clearly see the disordered green mist wafting around them.

"They’re Pseudo-Humans! No, there’s more than just Pseudo-Humans!"

He widened his eyes, trying to take advantage of this rare opportunity to get a good look at any secrets the No. 10 meal window might be hiding before Mao Feiyang left the Cafeteria!

Among those queuing up for their meals, he found Pseudo-Human Art Students, Pseudo-Human classmates (non-human classmates), and... someone from the same batch as him, a girl wearing a sailor uniform with a hair clip!

Not to say that Lin Yi had the ability to never forget a face and could remember everyone on that bus, but his memory of this person was too vivid.

Because this big guy, incited by others, had pushed the button to open the bus door.

"So the No. 10 meal window is actually a special meal window for Pseudo-Humans’ exclusive use."
