Chapter 574: Chapter 260: A Set of Combination Moves

Old Mo had finished speaking and silently turned around to leave, the butcher knife in his hand seemed to be wrapped in a shadow, but under the wash of the liquid nitrogen-like breath, the shadow disappeared quickly...

Lin Yi was holding a light bulb in his hand as he slowly stood up, his gaze never leaving Old Mo’s retreating figure.

"Old Lin, what just happened?" Tian Bufan’s gaze followed Lin Yi’s to look towards a void.

He did not see Old Mo.

"You... didn’t see Old Mo?" Lin Yi asked, puzzled.

"Old Mo was here?" Tian Bufan narrowed his eyes, paused, and then asked, "Did you guys interact?"

Lin Yi quickly explained what had just happened and added, "Old Mo absorbed the power that had just started to condense in the light bulb, then he told me I must go to the gymnasium."

"Right, the Sneering Angel! They really seem to be some kind of quantum state thing!"

"It’s just that I’m not sure yet how I was targeted, it’s likely related to the ’He-I’ mark, it probably wasn’t just through my thoughts that I was targeted..."

Tian Bufan’s eyelids drooped slightly as he thought for a moment, then said, "If that’s the case, then hurry up and eat, and go to the gymnasium. I’ll wait for Wei Sang."

"Yeah, that works..." Lin Yi nodded, "Also, I feel like Old Mo is different from the state he was in my dream... his pocket chef’s outfit has turned black again, the kitchen knife in his hand has turned into a bigger, wider-bladed butcher knife, but of course, that’s not all, mainly it’s the ’feeling’ he gives off has changed."

"But I can’t quite say what exactly has changed about him, it’s just... very strange..."

Tian Bufan pensively said, "Maybe... he never left the cafeteria area, not now, and not this morning either. It’s just... the layer he’s on has become deeper, so deep that even our level of perception is not enough to notice him?"

"A deeper cognitive domain requires more powerful anchors."

In terms of IQ and agility of thought, Tian Bufan was really far superior to Lin Yi, quickly connecting some key points together.

"What you said makes sense..." Lin Yi’s eyes brightened, "So that’s why he reverted to his black pocket chef attire? After all, no one can see him!"

He was slightly reassured, feeling somewhat relieved after confirming that Old Mo still existed.

Perhaps it was because Old Mo represented the last drop of blood of the cafeteria.

"I’m here." Just as Lin Yi finished speaking and was about to enter the student cafeteria, Wei Shan finally appeared from the student passage, albeit late.

"No need to wait for Yin Bi, that guy definitely won’t have lunch." Wei Shan said as soon as he appeared.

"Yeah, we weren’t planning to wait for him, let’s go, into the cafeteria." Tian Bufan said then arrived at the plastic curtain, hesitated for a moment, and slowly reached out towards it.

"I’ll do it." Wei Shan said, and before he had even finished speaking, had already stepped past Tian Bufan and forcefully kicked the plastic curtain.

「Thump—」

A dull thud sounded as if something like a sandbag had hit a dining table inside the student cafeteria, but from Lin Yi and their angle, everything looked normal.

Once the plastic curtain settled, Wei Shan reached out, grabbed the plastic curtain, and slowly pulled it aside.

A student cafeteria, partially illuminated by incandescent light, appeared before them, and not far from them, was a rather disheveled dining table booth.

The table in the darkness was toppled over as if it had been hit by a private car, but apart from the chaotic booth, no human figures could be seen.

"Let’s go." Tian Bufan said softly, and then lowered his head to enter the student cafeteria.

Lin Yi shifted his gaze away from the booth and followed into the cafeteria.

After Wei Liang had also entered, Wei Shan made his way into the student cafeteria, holding the rear.

The student cafeteria now looked not much different from the morning, only the number 3, number 4, and number 5 food windows were open, as well as a small part of the dining area above which was enveloped in incandescent light.

The rest of the food windows and dining area were plunged into darkness.

Lin Yi noticed that the darkness had become even more intense, as if stained with layer upon layer of ink, a cold, eerie breath seemed as if it were about to seep out from it.

In the dark area, pseudo-human and sinister art students were lining up; some were going to the number 1 and number 5 food windows to get food, while others went directly to the number 10 food window.

In their trays, uniformly, there were foods containing Tomato Element, and of course, a juicy bright red tomato was indispensable for them after the meal.

"Shall we go to the convenience store later to stock up on some food?" Lin Yi whispered.

Before Tian Bufan could agree, Wei Liang interjected, "Stock up on what, can your little backpack even fit it?"

"Uh... I can carry it in my hands!"

"..." Wei Liang was speechless, "Fine, whatever you want."

The group chatted as they slowly followed the line moving forward, during which the eerie atmosphere in the student cafeteria seemed to bypass them, making it difficult for them to notice.

But Tian Bufan occasionally glanced around, seemingly never relaxing for a moment.

"I have a feeling something’s off..." Lin Yi said in a low voice. Although he wasn’t looking around, his senses were sharper, and he seemed to spot some sinister chefs in pocket chef attire amid the gaps between the pseudo-human experience students and pseudo-human art students.
