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.

“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.

Zhou Sisi quickly raised her glass to stop Qian Junran. When she called Gao Ming yesterday, she heard that her old friend was now a person who came on the news three days in a row!

After so many years, the students had changed. The innocence was gone. The few tables were like a small society. They followed the society’s rules, but none of them followed the new rules.

Zuo Jun, “There’s fifteen minutes left to the canteen’s closing hour. Please leave the canteen and move to other open areas.”

Zuo Jun’s message came again. Some of the students were annoyed. It was one thing to eat school food, but it was another to have limited time for breaks.

“Zuo Jun, where are you? Come out and drink with us. Everyone is here.” Ma Tou used to be the class clown. During the sports event, he tripped the vice headmaster, sneaked into the broadcasting room to play 18+ movies and so on. He was not a bad person. He was just naughty. After graduation, he worked at his father’s innerwear company.

Zuo Jun, “Please leave the canteen as soon as possible. I’ve prepared surprises in the school’s other areas.”

The students left in groups. Liu Yi didn’t want to talk to Qian Junran anymore, so she left with the girls to the math building. In the end, only a few male students, who didn’t care about Zuo Jun’s messages, stayed at the canteen to drink the alcohol.

“We should go too.” Gao Ming put the tray back. Wang Jie followed him.

“Aren’t you going to stay?” Xi San was about to cheer Ma Tao. Since Wang Jie left, he put down his glass and followed.

The people of Room 1314 left the canteen. When they turned the corner, Wang Jie suddenly blocked Gao Ming, “Gao ‘Er, what did you talk to Liu Yi about? Did you notice something?”

“What do you mean?” Gao Ming was surprised. This good-for-nothing third-generation young master was quite astute. They were the last to leave the canteen. There were still five students drinking in the canteen.

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.”
