"I saw some humanoid traces seemingly appear on his body, so I attempted to pluck off his Tomato."

"If he can transform back, he can live; if he cannot, he will die."

Lin Yi nodded slightly, the fate of the Chef in the green apron seemed to be "life" and "death," but in reality, the concepts of "life" and "death" were quite relative.

Living as the Blue-aproned Chef and living as the Chef in the green apron were fundamentally different.

But "death," regardless of dying as the Blue-aproned Chef or as the Chef in the green apron, was the same.

Therefore, in Wei Shan's view, such an operation was, to some extent, a chance for redemption for the remnant Blue-aproned Chef within the Chef in the green apron.

Giving him a sliver of hope.

Rather than dying in the form of the Chef in the green apron, why not try to live again.

Of course, Wei Shan didn't know what the Chef in the green apron was thinking before being transformed and could only offer some help from a human perspective.

If that chef truly enjoyed the feeling brought by becoming the Chef in the green apron, then he... could still send it away.

For Lin Yi and others now, these were minor issues.

But such redemption was only possible for the Blue-aproned Chef who had just been transformed into the Chef in the green apron.

Once time passed, they would sink like the Sneering Angel, with the old kerosene lamp in hand turning completely into an hourglass, ultimately losing the chance of redemption entirely.

Lin Yi buried himself in eating, but his Perception was firmly locked on those units that had shown him strong Malice; some units had decent Tomatos, if he could lure them and pluck them, it would be quite good...

"Wait, uh, wait..."

"Why am I subconsciously having such 'frightening' thoughts?"

Lin Yi felt scared of his own thoughts... he felt such thoughts weren't typical of an "Orthodox Faction" character.

But, truth be told... the thought of pulling Tomatos from their chests filled him with an uncontrollable excitement, so much so that a strange curve appeared at the corners of his mouth while eating...

"Old Lin, can you curb your laughter a bit? I feel the dining table might be toppled by you," Wei Liang, who was also eating, elbowed Lin Yi with some dissatisfaction.

Lin Yi raised his face full of a sneering smile and then seemed to realize something was not right, subconsciously rubbing his face with his hand, making the stiff muscles on his face softer and resuming a normal expression.

"Nothing... I just thought of something exciting..." Lin Yi said.

But Wei Shan laughed more ferociously and bloodthirstily, "Old Lin, I also thought of something quite interesting!"

"Can you two... be a bit normal?" Wei Liang was somewhat speechless, "If you keep laughing like that, I feel like I should distance myself from you two."

"Hehehe... got it, got it." Lin Yi scratched the back of his head, his smile already restrained, but in his mind, he was still subconsciously calculating the idea of harvesting Tomatos.

Thus, the three silently finished their meal, then carried their trays towards the tray return area.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi began to focus his attention on the position of the overly perceptive Window No. 10.

After placing his tray at the tray return area, he stood with Wei Shan there instead of quickly escaping the Student Cafeteria as usual.

Seeing this, Wei Liang thought it was a bad sign, his mouth twitching sharply: "What sneaky ideas are you two up to this time?"

Lin Yi, however, did not respond to Wei Liang's question, but exchanged a glance with Wei Shan, a trace of ruthlessness flashing in their eyes: "Wei Sang, do you think... the Chef in the green apron chasing students is a kind of mechanism?"

Wei Shan chuckled deeply: "I think the same."

"Sss... you two...?" Wei Liang's scalp tingled, "I'm getting out of here first, I'll wait for you at the bulletin board."

"Okay." Lin Yi nodded without hesitation.

Wei Liang immediately shrank his neck and fled, lifting the plastic curtain to leave the Student Cafeteria.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi and Wei Shan stayed at the tray return area, waiting for the Chef in the green apron to come out and chase them.

Lin Yi glanced down at his watch.

12:19.

They waited like this for about 15 seconds when a sound of "light clanging" finally came from Window No. 10.

"Phew—" For some reason, when this sound appeared, both Lin Yi and Wei Shan exhaled a breath of relief.

From fearing the Chef in the green apron to now hoping it would come after them, this reversal brought a strong, absurd feeling.

Finally, Lin Yi's Perception began to capture changes at Window No. 10, and within the blurred Perception boundaries, a mud-like portal gradually appeared, with the traces of that window's modern architecture completely vanishing, replaced by a feeling like rubber softened by high heat.

The explosion caused by Kuai Hongji seemed to have had a huge impact on Window No. 10, so much so that the window had lost its original appearance.

However, Lin Yi did not see the Chef in the green apron at the window but rather saw one massive, twisted tentacle-like root extending from the window!

"Is that... Burial Body Roots?!" A strong sense of astonishment flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, "Could this be the Burial Body Roots that used to pursue us? No way..."
