Chapter 112: Canteen
Gao Ming had taken away the God of Flesh and Blood. Based on Situ An’s personality, he would prepare something else to replace it.
“Gao Ming, have you eaten?” Liu Yi came to Gao Ming’s side with her tray and asked in a low voice. “Zuo Jun appears to plan to trap us here and turn them into those students.”
“Not necessarily. Our class has other uses...” Gao Ming just spoke when a few students came over with food and drinks.
“Liu Yi, how are you lately?” Qian Junran was the class’ English committee representative. He came from a rich family. He had just come back from overseas and planned to take over the family business.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
“I’m fine.” Liu Yi wanted to hear Gao Ming’s analysis but was interrupted. She was annoyed, but she didn’t show it because they were all old friends. “Back in school, we both wanted to be lawyers to protect the weak like heroes from the wuxia novels.” Qian Junran poured Liu Yi some drinks. “I envy you because you did the things you set out to do.”
“Lawyers are not as noble as you think. This profession has no halo.” Liu Yi frowned. She didn’t know why Qian Junran suddenly came to her.
“I came back this time to learn with my family. The company is going to restructure the law department. Do you have any interest in doing it with me? Our company focuses on charity. We will fork out tens of thousands to help the poor locals at Han Hai every year.” Qian Junran spoke with arrogance. The term poor locals offended Zhou Sisi and a few others.
“It’s fine.” Liu Yi sat down and took out her phone to act to send messages. “I haven’t seen Gao Ming in a long time too.” Qian Junran stood up to shake Gao Ming’s hand in a gentlemanly manner. “I heard from Xi San that you had an early graduation from a medical school and are now a prison doctor. Does that mean you will interact with many dangerous criminals? Is the work tiring?”
“It was not too bad. I quit the job already.” Gao Ming didn’t even raise his head.
“Currently, the situation at Han Hai is quite complicated. You need connections to get into a good hospital. If you need any help, just say it.” Qian Junran said, but he looked at Gao Ming with disdain.
“I’m not a doctor anymore. I turned my old hobby into my new career.” Gao Ming smiled.
The canteen’s metallic rollers came down. Gao Ming’s group came to the window to look. The partition that separated the kitchen and the dining area opened. Three chefs walked out of the automated kitchen. They were all over 1.9 meters. Their bodies were hidden in the white clothes, and their faces couldn’t be seen.
“So, it’s not automated, after all?!” Xi San mocked. “Come on. There’s nothing to see. The chefs are probably there to chase them away.”
The chefs came to the drinking students. The chefs told them something. Three of the students followed them into the kitchen. The remaining two were left waiting. Eventually, they also headed to the kitchen. In the end, no one came out. Only the sound of machine whirring remained.
The school bell rang again. Wang Jie had no mood to play anymore. He took out his phone to call a few numbers. All the calls couldn’t go through.
“Is this a horror theme park?” Wang Jie shivered. “Is Zuo Jun, that bastard, planning to take revenge on us for bullying him back then?”
Wang Jie hesitated and stopped his roommates. He shared his findings with them.
“The adult students in the canteen were not right. Their eyes were different from normal humans!”
“Ol Wang, you have too much to drink. They are Zuo Jun’s hired actors. I’ve played many games like this before.” Xi San was a light-weight when it came to drinking.
Wang Jie ignored Xi San and came to Gao Ming. He whispered, “You and Liu Yi are the cleverest people in class. You should have noticed something. The students are split into three kinds. The first only knows how to read. They focus on studying like a machine. The second will study the people around them. They seem to be mimicking the actions of the people around them to mix into the crowd. The third has a discomfiting gaze. Their facial expressions will suddenly lose control.”
“Is that strange? Isn’t that real life? The first kind lives their lives as tools and machines to be used; The second kind is filled with social anxiety. They hide themselves, so that they won’t be eaten by the society; the third kind only wants to prey on others.” Du Bai was quite drunk too.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but with my years of experience making horror games, this school is very suspicious.” Gao Ming raised three fingers. “The people who only know how to read are probably Han De Private School’s original students. They are generally young and have innocence in their eyes. The people who try to mimic others are probably humans like us. They want to mix in the crowd and pretend to be ghosts to hide from danger. The last group has the lowest number of members. They should be the monsters who the second group wants to avoid. They are ghosts pretending to be humans.”
