13
After eating the delicious food, I fell asleep leaning against Ren Jian.
He said I could rest for a while and there wouldn't be any danger if I leaned on him.
Looking at his bottomless pupils, those ancient and unwavering eyes were full of gentleness at the moment, which made people feel reassured.
When I woke up, I saw the hands on the clock pointing to half past one, and it would soon be three fifteen again.
The cafeteria was still noisy and crowded, just like it was before I went to bed.
But when I woke up, I didn’t see Ren Jian again.
I felt that my lips were very moist, and my body did not feel tired or hungry at all. Instead, I felt relaxed and reborn.
I stood up and walked towards the crowd.
Standing in the crowd, I looked at the window where the meal was served.
When Ren and I came here before, no one here could see us.
But those two players were able to participate. Not only could they be seen by the aunt, but they could also get food.
I think this window should be a transit point between reality and reality.
It is the breakthrough point through which we can leave this space.
I hid in the crowd and walked towards the other end where Dagang's three players were.
As I approached the corner, I smelled a very strange smell.
The aroma of freshly cooked delicacies is everywhere here, but this strange smell is not obtrusive and can be skillfully blended with it.
It makes people feel sick.
I hid behind a table and chair in the corner, sitting behind those who couldn't see me.
In the corner, at the foot of the wall, there was a man sitting half-reclined. This man had a tall frame, but his muscles seemed to have been drained of moisture, and he looked like a dying old man.
He was lowering his head and eating something in his hand.
Occasionally I looked up and saw that his face looked very familiar.
After careful identification, I discovered that it was Dagang.
On the other side was the unleveled player, but he was fine. It was just that his clothes were in tatters, with holes everywhere that looked like they had been burned through by fire.
At this time, he was wearing a faculty uniform, with only the pattern on his chest remaining intact.
They seemed to be communicating something. Dagan looked cruel and was communicating with the unleveled players, but his skinny appearance made him feel weak.
At the same time, as they moved, I saw something huge in the corner behind them.
I changed my angle and looked carefully.
It was a corpse that was not human-like and looked very strange.
His limbs were twisting in a very strange and uncoordinated posture, which was definitely a posture that a living person could not do before.
Moreover, his body looked like a mummy, but it could be seen that it was still very fresh.
Different from a normal shriveled corpse, there seemed to be many areas missing under his skin. This makes him look like a deflated balloon.
The weird, food-like but disgusting smell just now came from him.
I saw the clothes on his body. He was the LV.22 player from before.
It seems that a lot of things happened after I fell asleep.
Dagang was still devouring the food in his hand crazily, and a familiar dinner plate was lying quietly in the corner.
I thought it looked like they were repaying the credit for the canteen food.
It was now past the first time for classes to end, and the cafeteria became a little quieter.
I heard what they said.
Dagang: "It's almost 3:15, and we've finally completed three rounds! This place is so damn weird, they are all a bunch of newcomers, how could we enter such a difficult dungeon?"
Unleveled player: "Brother Gang, I think it may be the relationship between the mute man who didn't speak just now and the woman next to him."
Dagang frowned and sneered: "Them? Forget it, I have been teaming up with them all the way, they are just two lucky newcomers. Besides, didn't that man just die himself to contribute to us, ha, Not enough to cause trouble.”
The mute in their mouths should be referring to Ren Jian. Ren Jian went to die? How can it be?
The unleveled player glanced at him briefly: "What about Brother Gang, Huang Jiayun?"
Dagang heard the sound and looked at the unidentified corpse behind him: "It's just his bad luck. He can't blame others. Everyone wants to live. He's unlucky and inexperienced. This is his fate."
"But if we take him out with us after we go out, he may be able to recover. Time flows outside differently than here."
Dagang's body was still stained with blood at this time, and his bony face had deep sunken eye bones, as if an eagle was locking its target.
He took a deep look at the unleveled player and changed the subject: "That man was probably too hungry, so he also went to the window to queue up, ha! But how did he know that the food here was not free? .”
"Well...we also got the rules by testing the law with our lives."
"You definitely can't eat anything from this damn place, but it's so weird. The smell here makes you want to eat. It's so weird."
"Meat dishes are made with the body, while vegetarian dishes are made with the spirit and soul. If you choose one meat and one vegetable, only the soul will be sucked, and the body will also be sucked. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to pick up a faculty uniform to wear. Get up, I guess it helped me pay off the debt." After saying that, he shook the uniform on his body that seemed to be broken into pieces at any time.
After hearing this, Dagang's eyes flickered and he stared at the tattered uniform on his body.
"But it's strange, did it disappear after entering?" he continued.
Dagang said: "You mean that man? You must be sure. Do you think that after Huang Jiayun came back, he started to get older and older after eating a few mouthfuls of that meal? This was a sacrifice of his body and soul, but who knows what we eat Everyone has a share, mother, I started to look like this after eating it. Fortunately, the mute sacrificed his body for us, otherwise I would have turned into a mummy if we waited any longer!"
It sounds like Ren went to the meal window. I remembered my guess.
The meal window may be the link between this space and the outside world.
Of course I don't believe what they say. In their eyes, Ren Jian is just a newcomer who is always silent when he doesn't speak.
But how could they know that this newcomer, who was ordinary in their eyes, was actually a god who could overturn the world casually.
I feel clear in my heart that I should be looking for a way out now.
There are gradually fewer people in the cafeteria, and it should be a new cycle soon.
I looked up at the clock. It was already three o'clock.
I couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in my heart. Time passed very slowly here. It was half past one when I woke up. How could it be three o'clock so quickly?
Unexpectedly, the two people blocking me suddenly got up and left.
I was suddenly exposed, and they saw me hiding behind the crowd.
"You're lucky, you're still alive? But I have some bad news for you, your man is dead, hahaha."
When Dagang saw me, his face that was originally hidden under his kind appearance was clearly exposed.
However, due to his skinny body and dying state, he still leaned against the wall and did not move an inch.
