He glanced at register 10 to see what was inside, but it was too far away; all he saw was darkness with a few vague figures emitting green mist swaying back and forth.

Soon, Mao Feiyang followed Mu Daxian to the tray return area, while Lin Yi also took a deep breath and squinted at register 10.

Previously, when he was eating, he never had the chance to observe closely. Now it was Maozi and the Green Hat chefs' turn to play their thrilling game of cat and mouse, and he certainly wanted to see what those Green Hats were all about.

However, even someone like Mu Daxian, who was extraordinary even among Art Students, caused a stir at register 10 when he put down his tray.

"Clank Jingling—"

Right then, the clattering sound of pots, pans, and ladles crashing against each other echoed from inside register 10...

Mao Feiyang was also drawn by this sound and unconsciously glanced in the direction of register 10.

And it was precisely this glance that synchronized Mao Feiyang and Lin Yi's vision, creating a shared will "to see clearly".

Then, a golden halo suddenly sprang forth in Lin Yi's eyes and quickly spread like ink dropping into clear water. In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi's eyes were stained bright gold.

At that moment, Lin Yi's vision zoomed rapidly toward register 10 as if magnified. The previously dim lighting turned vivid and bright at that instant, activating every breath as if stained with isotopic DNA fragments...

Before Lin Yi could marvel at the change in his vision, he had already seen clearly what was inside register 10.

There, a Green Hat chef seemed recklessly to be forcing his body into the gap of the window, contorting and distorting himself until he was covered in bloodstains, showing no sign of stopping.

His face was ferocious, his eyes crazed, staring feverishly at Mu Daxian like a starving ghost, slowly extricating himself.

At that moment, Mao Feiyang also inadvertently dropped his tray at the tray return area, causing another Blue Hat chef, who was initially serving Pseudos, to suddenly stop all motion as if someone had hit the pause button.

His hand loosened, and the tray and ladle he held clattered to the ground, producing that piercing "Clank Jingling" sound.

Suddenly, his head began to twitch on his neck, like a puppet with severed strings trying to lift its head to look ahead.

That frame-stuttering motion looked like a gecko on a wall, where the static body and dynamic head seemed controlled by two entirely separate systems, emitting a bizarre sense of disjunction.

Finally, he began to adjust the twist in his body so that his neck could drive his head, directing his gaze toward Mao Feiyang.

The entire process seemed lengthy, but it lasted only two breaths for Lin Yi.

And his actual movement compressed everything Lin Yi had seen into a tape-style, fast-forward jumping across those two breaths.

Exactly for this reason, the eerie sense of disjunction was so pronounced, giving Lin Yi a chill down his spine.

And by the time it completed the transformation, the Blue Hat on its body had somehow turned into a Green Hat...

"Don't look anymore, let's go!" Mu Daxian grabbed Mao Feiyang by his clothes and quickly dragged him toward another passage.

This urging also awakened Lin Yi, but it did not stop him from continuing to observe.

The next moment, the Green Hat chef repeated the previous Green Hat chef's actions, becoming frantic and manic, radiating strong malice, and began squeezing out of the extremely narrow window gap, pursuing Mao Feiyang.

What followed was the chase scene Lin Yi was already accustomed to. Lin Yi noticed that once the Green Hat chef emerged from the register, it had no human shape but moved rapidly like a snake along the shadowy part of the floor.

Its muscles moved as if liquid in a hose, flowing fast under its skin, enabling movement at speeds far exceeding that of conventional running.

They rapidly closed the distance to Mao Feiyang, forcing Mu Daxian to switch from walking to running, pulling Mao Feiyang out of the restaurant entrance.

"These Green Hat chefs are indeed very different from Pseudos, even making Mu Daxian show such wariness..." Lin Yi thought to himself as his vision followed Mao Feiyang out of the Student Cafeteria.

When the plastic air curtain at the Student Cafeteria entrance was lowered, Lin Yi found he could no longer see the Green Hat chefs through the plastic air curtain, but saw a very calm, naturally lit Student Cafeteria...

This scene of the Student Cafeteria was almost identical to the one Lin Yi had seen from the Student Passage.

But from the Student Passage, one couldn't actually enter this layer of the Student Cafeteria he was seeing now.

Meaning...neither he nor Maozi had really arrived at "the Student Cafeteria before him".

That Student Cafeteria looked so safe, as if no danger could ever occur there... Lin Yi suddenly thought to himself.

Yet strangely, despite such thoughts in his mind, the moment his vision traversed the plastic air curtain once again to this calm Student Cafeteria, it induced within him an indescribable, bone-chilling terror.

That feeling, rather than being safe, felt more like... dead silence.
