Rules-related weird stories: 4016

"Student… are you full? Really, won't you try the spaghetti with meat sauce?"

"If you don't want to try the spaghetti with meat sauce… there are other dishes you can try!"

"Stay…"

"Stay!"

"Stay——"

In the shifting light and shadows, a grotesque smile stretched to the ears of the chef in the green apron.

"Hehehe…"

His mouth began to widen, his smile gradually turning insane.

His pupils dilated slightly, his eyes filled with madness.

A fine layer of sweat had already broken out on Lin Yi's forehead. Even without a breath of wind in the rapidly running student cafeteria, his clothes billowed out!

Under the powerful wind resistance, he really had the urge to run naked!

"Hehehe…" The chef in the green apron was closing in!

Lin Yi gritted his teeth, unwillingly glancing towards the entrance of the student cafeteria.

Just a few seconds away!

«Faster! Faster!!»

His roar was almost drowned out by the sound of the wind.

But at this moment, due to the reduced distance, a figure suddenly appeared in his constantly shaking field of vision.

This figure stood at the exit of the student cafeteria, bathed in sunlight. From Lin Yi's perspective, it was a silhouette against the light, like a natural barrier.

«?!» Lin Yi's pupils contracted, but his speed didn't decrease at all. «What…?!»

As he got closer to the exit of the student cafeteria, the difference in light intensity began to shrink, and he gradually saw who it was.

«That's… Xu Shunkang?!»

The moment he saw that face, countless emotions surged in his heart because of the shock!

At this moment, Xu Shunkang was standing like a door god at the entrance of the student cafeteria, like a milestone between the door of the student cafeteria and the student passage.

«It's actually Xu Shunkang!»

«Why is he here?!»

Lin Yi was shocked and his expression changed. He didn't know why Xu Shunkang would appear here, holding a baseball bat tightly in his hand, but the urgent sound of the wind in his ears made him give up thinking.

Lin Yi used all his strength and rushed towards the door guarded by Xu Shunkang!

Xu Shunkang didn't have the playful look he had when studying in the classroom. When Lin Yi rushed towards him, his piercing gaze quickly swept over Lin Yi.

His first glance, guided by keen intuition, landed on Lin Yi's shoes, and a flash of light appeared in his eyes.

Lin Yi's shoes were stained with a patch of sticky, dark red substance. Under his rapid steps, it was impossible to tell whether it was blood or ketchup.

He slowly tightened his grip on the baseball bat.

But when he saw that Lin Yi was holding his student ID tightly in his hand, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"Hurry! Faster! You're too slow!" Xu Shunkang roared at him.

Lin Yi sprinted madly, approaching the doorway. He glanced at the sign on the door—Student Cafeteria Exit.

Looking out through the transparent glass of the student cafeteria exit, you could also see the sign for [Student Passage] at a glance.

He relaxed half a breath, then immediately took a deep breath, rushing up regardless of everything.

"Are you fucking kidding me? Didn't you eat? Faster!" Seeing Lin Yi panting, Xu Shunkang roared sternly.

"Fuck!!" Lin Yi gritted his teeth, the muscles of his upper and lower jaws almost bulging into iron blocks.

His speed had already reached its limit, like a dark afterimage, but in Xu Shunkang's eyes, it was still as slow as an old granny crossing the road.

"Hehehe—Little ketchup! Don't go!" The sound of the wind breaking behind Lin Yi was constant, and the figure of the chef in the green apron seemed to blend into the shadows, approaching Lin Yi at a terrifying speed.

Lin Yi's body was cold. In a trance, he saw a pale palm pass through his shoulder line, but he immediately pulled it away.

The distance between the two people seemed to be only one position!

«Exit! Exit!! Charge——» Lin Yi's sprinting style changed, giving people a distorted feeling as if he was roaring and shouting, "How many floors does a bag of rice need to be carried to."

Xu Shunkang moved half a step to the side in real time, letting him pass through.

«Whoosh——»

Lin Yi rushed out of the student cafeteria.

The moment he passed through the plastic wind curtain, the long-lost warm sunlight reached out and embraced Lin Yi. His spirits lifted, and he didn't forget to remind aloud:

"Xu Shunkang, behind…!!!"

"You don't need to worry about what happens behind! Go!" Xu Shunkang interrupted him. The moment he spoke, he had already stood back, blocking the exit of the student cafeteria like a door god!

"I said…"

His eyes were fixed on the chef in the green apron, who had twisted into an afterimage, and he suddenly tightened his grip on the baseball bat!

The point where his palm met the baseball bat made a slight "creak…" sound due to the tight grip.

The muscle lines on Xu Shunkang's arm became three-dimensional as he exerted force, and terrifying power gathered between his arms.

"Daytime…"

He swung the baseball bat with one hand, and the moment the chef in the green apron rushed out of the student cafeteria exit, he slammed it hard on his face.

"…is our home field!!!"

«Thump——!!!»

A heavy blow, like a home run in the Milky Way, caused the air to tremble, and an invisible wave of air rippled around Xu Shunkang!

"Get out——"

Xu Shunkang let out a low roar, exerting force with both arms, pouring all his strength into the baseball bat, and knocking the chef in the green apron back into the student cafeteria like a baseball!

«Bang… bang! Bang bang bang…»

The chef in the green apron crashed into the tables and chairs one after another, and finally crashed into the students who were chasing after Lin Yi and the others like zombies, before stopping.

The air gradually solidified, and the slightly noisy student cafeteria suddenly became silent.

Those zombie-like students seemed to smell something, and turned their heads one after another, tilting their necks and looking at the chef in the green apron.

Under the white chef's uniform of the chef in the green apron… some dark red, sticky substance slowly oozed out.

Those students' eyes gradually revealed a crazy and demonic look, and they swarmed up, engulfing the chef in the green apron like a tide.

During this process, none of the other students dared to show any reaction. They silently ate their meals, but the speed at which they ate was many times faster.

Xu Shunkang stood at the entrance of the student cafeteria, watching this scene coldly.

He glanced at the baseball bat covered in dark red, sticky substance, his eyes flickering.

After thinking for a moment, he raised the baseball bat high, facing the sunlight.

«Sizzle sizzle…»

Pale red mist rose from the dark red sticky substance, and then hardened and deteriorated at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually turning into some white plaster-like solid.

Xu Shunkang shook the baseball bat and knocked it against the floor tiles a few times, and the white solid immediately turned into powder and scattered.

He carried the baseball bat on his shoulder and swept his gaze towards those in the dark area who were looking at him with curiosity, and a sneer full of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Heh… a bunch of dirty things."

His eyebrows and eyes curved slightly, and in the depths of his eye sockets, a golden radiance as brilliant as molten gold flickered.

… …

Student Passage.

Lin Yi wanted to turn back to care about Xu Shunkang's situation several times, but in the end he chose to abide by the cafeteria rules:

[Before you enter the [Student Passage] or arrive at the convenience store, do not stop, do not look back, do not respond to his calls, even if you feel that he is about to catch up with you.]

Just to be safe, don't look back at all before leaving the student通道.

He looked ahead and saw a figure speeding along as if on wind-borne wheels, gliding down the steps of the student通道.

"Liangzi?!"

"This speed... freaking cheating?!"

Although the slope of the student通道 wasn't steep, it was still outrageous to accelerate mindlessly without any braking on such a long stretch.

Lin Yi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he increasingly felt that Wei Liang had maxed out some strange survival skills.

Despite the shock, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest and hurried after Wei Liang.

The two of them quickly rushed out of the student通道, one after the other.

But Wei Liang didn't slow down and continued to charge forward...

“Liangzi! Don't run too far! You have to take off your shoes to return the cafeteria rules!!” Lin Yi shouted at the top of his lungs.

Wei Liang's miserable cry came from not far away:

“I don’t want to run so far either, ahhhhh~~~”

“I can’t slow down, ahhhhh~~~~~~”

Wei Liang shouted while slowing down, the scene resembling an emergency brake on a steam locomotive, with sparks and lightning all the way.

He finally managed to reduce his speed, but at the same time, his shoes were almost smoking and scrapped.

Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang's shoes, feeling that even if they hadn't been stained with ketchup, they were about to be thrown away anyway.

Wei Liang gasped for breath, hands on his hips, tongue almost dragging on the ground, puffing out rough breaths, and his forehead was filled with even rougher breaths: "I... I can't run anymore... I feel like I've digested all the food I just ate..."

Although he was very tired, he still gave a thumbs up: "Lao Lin... huff huff... I knew I could count on you in desperate situations! But your shoes seem to be stained with ketchup too?"

Lin Yi looked down at his feet.

There was indeed ketchup on his right foot, and he quickly realized: "It must have been when I kicked under the table..."

“It’s okay, just throw them away if they’re stained.” He didn't care about this.

“Okay.” Wei Liang nodded.

Clothes and shoes were actually nothing, the dormitory was equipped with them. Wei Liang had discovered this last time he came, so although they were carrying backpacks this time, they didn't actually bring much.

“Hey, wait, Lao Lin, do you think we should return the cafeteria rules first, or throw the shoes in the trash can first?” Wei Liang asked.

Lin Yi went over the rules in his head and then said, "Let's throw away the shoes first."

The cafeteria rules stated:

[After leaving the cafeteria, please take off your clothes as soon as possible and check whether there is any ketchup on your body. If so, throw the clothes into the nearest trash can.]

“First” and “nearest” were no joke.

“Just return the rules when we leave.”

“Okay.” Wei Liang nodded solemnly, and then said, “Oh right… actually, that’s what I thought too.”

“…” Lin Yi facepalmed, “You don’t have to emphasize it.”

“Hey, I was just afraid you’d think I wasn’t participating!” Wei Liang grinned and nudged Lin Yi with his elbow.

“I really underestimated you, Liangzi.” Lin Yi shrugged.

The two chatted and laughed while looking for the nearest trash can, but after searching around, they couldn't find a trash can at all.

Lin Yi couldn't help but mutter, "That's strange... I can't find a trash can."

“It’s indeed very strange.” Wei Liang nodded seriously.

“Have you never seen a trash can before?”

“Nope.”

“No way, you’ve been here for seven days, haven’t you thrown away trash once?” Lin Yi asked in surprise.

Wei Liang corrected, “Don’t say that, strictly speaking, it’s five days and fourteen meals. I didn’t even come to the cafeteria for the last two days… I almost starved.”

“So you mean, you’ve been to the cafeteria fourteen times, but you haven’t thrown away trash even once?”

Wei Liang glared at Lin Yi and couldn't help but say, "Hey, it's normal not to throw away trash! Unless you buy food from the store, there’s basically no need to throw away trash, right?"

“Besides, when I came before, I didn’t do anything out of line. Every time, I just lined up quietly and ate my meal silently. I didn’t ask about anything that happened. I just left honestly after eating!”

“Where would I need a trash can?”

When Lin Yi heard this, he thought of Wei Liang's top-notch solo play style, was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "What you said... seems very right."

“Hey, it’s okay, it’s okay!” Wei Liang patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, “Don’t feel guilty for being a little dumber than me. After all, this is my second run!”

“Okay.” Lin Yi nodded, then suddenly said, “Hey, found it!”

But he immediately frowned.

Wei Liang quickly looked in the direction of Lin Yi's gaze and indeed saw a trash can, and his brow furrowed as well.

The location of that trash can was actually at the entrance and exit of the [Staff通道].

“Lao Lin, the location of the trash can... seems a little strange!” Wei Liang murmured.

Lin Yi was silent. After what happened just now, his impression of the cafeteria staff wasn't good.

He looked down and started reading the cafeteria rules, looking for rules related to the [Staff通道].

“The cafeteria rules only mention the [Staff通道] in two places…”

“One is to tell students to enter the cafeteria through the [Student通道] and not the [Staff通道], and the other is…”

[If you accidentally violate the above rules, please leave through the [Student通道] as soon as possible, and then immediately enter the [Staff通道] to seek help from blue apron employees (note that it is blue apron and not green apron, and they must wear a badge) or security guards. You must present your student ID in advance before seeking help.

At any time, please absolutely! unconditionally! Trust! Security guards!]

“So… theoretically speaking, the staff通道 is relatively safe, but it is not allowed to enter unless the conditions are met.”

“But the trash can is at the entrance of the [Staff通道], and I don’t need to enter the [Staff通道], so it shouldn’t be a problem to go over and throw away the trash.”

After all, the cafeteria rules clearly stated to throw the clothes stained with ketchup into the trash can.

“Lao Lin, what do we do, should we… go throw it away?” Wei Liang hesitated, looking at Lin Yi for help.

After thinking about it, Lin Yi nodded: “Go, but we’ll leave as soon as we throw it away, don’t even put half a foot inside the boundary of the [Staff通道]!”

“Okay!” Wei Liang responded seriously, and then he looked down at his feet, because he suddenly thought of something.

After Lin Yi helped him kick away the pervert who was licking his feet, he followed up with a few kicks with his left foot, so if he guessed correctly…

“I’m really screwed!!” Wei Liang asked the heavens speechlessly, “I knew it!”

His left shoe was indeed stained with ketchup because of the follow-up attack!

“I lost my shoes just from eating a meal! My Feikun limited edition sneakers!”

“Wuwuwu~~~~” Wei Liang reached out to cover his face, shedding two lines of clear tears.
