Chapter 528: Chapter 237 Chef Sculpture

This slope wasn’t actually steep; the cobblestone pathways at S University seemed intentionally designed to avoid certain eerie terrains. So, it wasn’t about whether the slope was steep, but rather that this slope belonged to S University. One slip of your foot, and where you might slide to cannot be guaranteed.

Of course, that seemed to be a concern for Wei Liang.

On the other side, Lin Yi was already drenched in sweat.

When was the last time he experienced a "vision" issue in the cafeteria area?

May 7th, right?

It’s not yesterday’s news!

On May 7th, he once failed to see the cafeteria in front of the notice board and instead saw a steep cliff. At that time, it took all his effort to climb back to his own layer and be pulled back.

Unexpectedly, there was a problem again now, and this time the changes in the layer were even more natural than the last!

Without any signs, without any warnings, impossible to guard against!

That kind of eerie infiltration feeling, as silent as a drizzle, sent shivers down Lin Yi’s spine.

"Over there..." Lin Yi slowly approached the ’Cafeteria-051’ lamppost.

"Damn, Old Lin, you still dare to go?" Wei Liang exclaimed anxiously.

Lin Yi turned and said, "This time it’s different, I won’t get close to that slope, just checking the lamppost."

He was originally there to check the lamppost, but it was as if he was drawn by some indescribable force, crossing the boundary of the lamppost.

"You... be careful." Wei Liang couldn’t help but say.

"Mhm." Lin Yi nodded, returning to the ’Cafeteria-051’ lamppost.

He gently touched the lamppost, searching for that whiff of ’malice,’ attempting to awaken "his vision"...

Gradually, a hazy mist began to emanate from him, giving off a sense of déjà vu with flickering glimmers. At the same time, the hair on his arms raised like static electricity, feeling the coldness around him.

The warm sunshine of the early morning started to lose its warmth on Lin Yi’s body, and an ominous chill seemed to slowly seep out from the void, entwining around Lin Yi like mist, compressing the hazy layer of light around his body.

Wei Shan seemed to sense something, as if readying for battle, he made to move closer to Lin Yi but was stopped by Tian Bufan’s gesture.

Wei Liang, uncharacteristically, said nothing, watching Lin Yi with an unreadable expression.

He tugged at the brim of his baseball cap, his upper face entering into the lightless shadows, his entire face expressionless, as if his earlier anxiety had been completely erased.

At that moment, Lin Yi faintly felt as if an abyss had opened up behind him, an eerie breath like invisible tentacles slowly reaching out, wrapping around his body just like the cold breath from the Green Forest Belt.

Lin Yi’s heart was clear as ice, unaffected by the sensation, and soon the sky-blue vapor was once again caught in his vision.

He looked down slightly, seeing the tomato sauce-like magma flowing beneath the cobblestone path, his gaze moving to the lamppost beside him.

This lamppost that had lost its number was like a severed energy flow of sky-blue, the supernatural power within the tomato sauce magma could only meander around its base, unable to surge into the light bulb like siphoning.

"This lamppost was abandoned because the number hadn’t been replenished in time..."

"Repairing lampposts is the duty of the black-aproned chefs... Does this mean that something has happened to the group of black-aproned chefs?"

Lin Yi did not know when exactly the black-aproned chefs would be deployed, but judging from the fact that the rules did not mention them, the black-aproned chefs’ "shift" must not be witnessed by Experience Students, so Lin Yi guessed it was probably between 21:00 and the following day’s 6:40.

In this time period, the black-aproned chefs should leave the cafeteria and transform into maintenance workers to service certain facilities within the campus, as he hadn’t previously noticed any abandoned lampposts near the cobblestone pathways.

According to Mu Daxian, these lampposts would be discarded in the Green Forest Belt if abandoned, and would not "return" here with the layer’s restoration.

At this inoperative lamppost, the ’malice’ was clearer than in other areas, mingling with the cold wind from the Green Forest Belt, combining with the strange and evil breath, slowly infiltrating.

"Lampposts are like fences, even when they aren’t lit, they still have a certain ’function’!"

"They can block the infiltration of malice from other layers!"

"So that’s it!"

Lin Yi realized this, but what was incredible was that the person who "guided" his attention to the lamppost...

Was Wei Liang.

No, it was—Zhuge Wei Liang.

"Could it really be ’the smart Liangzi verges on the supernatural’...?"

He looked at Wei Liang with a strange expression.

Wei Liang unobtrusively adjusted his cap brim, revealing his face.

He felt extremely uneasy under Lin Yi’s gaze, thinking to himself that something is off with Old Lin today, should he really say "Brother, you smell so good"?

Unable to resist shivering, he felt a slight tightening in his gluteal region, and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Damn, don’t look at me, okay? Look somewhere else, will you? This pressure is too much for my ’flower,’ no, I mean, a lot of pressure on me!"
