"This way."

As Su Yi walked out of the cafeteria, he felt his wrist getting hot.

The machine gun guy rushed towards him, grabbed his hand and walked away, as if there was something chasing him from the cafeteria behind him.

"That cafeteria...what happened?"

Su Yi followed behind him. The machine gun guy walked very fast, almost running. The sleeve of the guard's black uniform rubbed against the back of his hand, which was a little painful.

The machine gun guy walked quickly around the corner, then slowed down and said in a low voice:

"There's a ghost in the cafeteria, don't you know?"

Su Yi:?

He shook his head in confusion: "I only heard the ringing notification, saying to come to the cafeteria to eat."

Machine Gun Boy: "Before the bell rang, didn't you hear the two nurse NPCs talking? One said there was a ghost in the cafeteria and she didn't dare to eat there every time. It was troublesome to cook by herself, and the other said that there was nothing she could do."

Su Yi: "I didn't hear it."

Machine Gun Guy: "That's weird. These two nurses should be patrolling NPCs. They would come to each player's room and say these words. The players who heard them would go to the cafeteria to eat. You didn't see any players you know after you entered the cafeteria, did you? Those people lining up for food should be system NPCs."

That's true. Su Yi recalled that he originally went to the cafeteria to meet the players, especially the two trumpet players.

Unexpectedly, there was no other player in the cafeteria except him. The weirdest thing was... he actually missed such crucial and important information. What went wrong?

The machine gun guy was very keenly aware that something was wrong. He squinted his eyes and looked at Su Yi, asking jokingly: "Did you not return to your room in time?"

"When the NPC on patrol started talking about the ghost rumors, they passed by your room, but you were not there at the time, so you didn't hear it. You went somewhere else at the time, right?"

Su Yi: "..."

This guy with 25% exploration record is unexpectedly very sharp in other areas.

The machine gun guy's brain seemed to open up, and he immediately thought of the day when Su Yi was captured by Bai Shen and taken to another room:

"Is it because Bai Shen caught you that you were delayed?

"…No." He just asked and before Su Yi could answer, he denied it himself. He continued to reason:

"I didn't see Bai Shen when I passed by the cafeteria. He probably didn't come, so...

"After meeting you, Bai Shen returned to his ward and heard the patrolling NPCs talking, so he didn't go to the cafeteria. And you didn't hear it because... you went somewhere else after meeting Bai Shen, right?"

Su Yi: “…”

The machine gun guy suddenly became a little excited:

"Besides Bai Shen, who else is trying to provoke you? Our Detective Su is really too popular. Be careful of bad luck in love. This guy made you not hear the message from the NPC and run to the cafeteria with ghosts."

The machine gun guy leaned over to Su Yi deliberately, his face pressed against hers, very close to hers, as if he wanted to kiss her:

"Let me guess, it's a player among us? Oh! It should be Dean Bai, right? That old pervert put his hand into your hospital gown before, I took a picture of it! What did he do to you this time? Did he take you to his private clinic for treatment?"

Life-saving system: "Wow, so accurate."

Su Yi was speechless. Why couldn't Machine Gun Bai Ye use such agility to explore the plot?

He stretched out his hand to push away the machine gun guy's face that was gradually approaching:

"You...what nonsense are you talking about!"

Su Yi felt that it was not accidental that he missed this important information, so he had to find out as soon as possible. He asked:

"Why is there a ghost in the cafeteria? What did those two NPCs say?"

The machine gun guy stopped teasing and told directly:

"The two NPC nurses were chatting and said that there was a rumor in the mental hospital a long time ago, and everyone who worked here knew it: there was a ghost sealed in the cafeteria.

"Every day when we were eating, the ghost would hide in the dark and silently select its targets. I don't know if it was the ghost's influence, but over time, the food in the hospital cafeteria became hard to swallow and tasted terrible.

"If an unruly patient complains during meals, and even makes noises, it will attract the attention of the ghost. The person chosen by the ghost will have many strange things happen to him, and he may even die."

Su Yi didn't say anything after hearing this. No wonder there was a slogan in the cafeteria that said "Don't talk while eating". The atmosphere while getting food there was also very strange.

While the NPC was talking about this rumor, he went to see Dean Bai. Although it was his own initiative, Su Yi had doubts in his heart:

This is such a coincidence.

Moreover, Mr. Bai is the director of the mental hospital. If the nurses knew about this rumor, there is no way the director would not know about it.

When he came out of Dean Bai's clinic, the dinner bell rang, but Mr. Bai did not remind him or say anything to him.

As if it was destined by fate, he missed the information, so he went to the cafeteria.

Su Yi thought of the ugly abstract painting in the cafeteria with great vigilance.

He stared at the painting and found it very disturbing. Could it be? Could it be? ... that a ghost was in there?

Is Young Master Bai pushing him to... encounter the ghost in the cafeteria?

What's the use of this ghost?

Su Yi was thinking about it when the machine gun guy said:

"Let's not just stand here. Are you hungry? Let's go to my place and have something delicious."

Su Yi was about to say that he was not hungry, but the machine gun guy continued muttering to himself:

"If you're not hungry, then I am. Just think of it as eating with me. My wound hurts so much. I'm hungry and in pain..."

This guy was so pitiful when he acted so pitiful. Su Yi sighed, but he couldn't bear to be cruel to this 17-year-old Bai Ye who was exiled to the [slums].

Su Yi: "Okay."

The machine gun guy was very excited and led Su Yi to his patrol lounge, like a young man leading his new bride into his home.

As soon as Su Yi entered, he smelled the aroma of dinner.

There was an air fryer on the table, which was probably the kitchen utensil that the machine gun guy bought with real money in the system mall. I don’t know what was frying inside, but the air was filled with fragrance.

"Would you like to try it? Fried cheese chicken."

The machine gun guy opened the air fryer like he was presenting a treasure, revealing the golden and crispy cheese chicken fillet inside. He picked the largest piece and put it on the plate, blowing on it considerately to avoid scalding Su Yi.

"Eat it, and have a taste."

The steamed chicken fillet was handed to Su Yi. The machine gun guy's eyes were bright and he looked at him expectantly like a puppy.

Su Yi sniffed and found that the chicken steak was indeed fragrant. He felt a little hungry.

Life-saving system: "Wife, eat some! The nutritional pills just now were a bit bitter, this one is delicious!"

Su Yi took it, used a skewer to pick up the chicken steak on the plate, opened his little mouth, and took a light bite——

Phew!

I only took a small bite and the chicken fillet burst in my mouth!

His mouth was filled with hot cheese. Su Yi had not expected that the chicken chop was made with such good ingredients. He was overwhelmed...

“…Hmm!”

Thick white cheese flowed out from the corners of his mouth, all over his chin. Su Yi was so anxious that he had to find a tissue.

"Are you okay? Are you burned? Let me wipe it off for you..."

I don’t know what’s wrong with the machine gun guy. Instead of helping him find tissues, he actually used his hands to wipe his hands!

He wiped here and there, but not only did he not get his hands clean, his hands were covered with thick white cheese. As soon as he moved his hands, the cheese spread all over Su Yi's cheeks, chin, and even neck!

"Take your hands away?! Use a tissue!"

“…Oh, oh!”

The machine gun guy stared at Su Yi blankly, as if he was stupid. The pretty little face of the person in front of him was covered with white and fragrant cheese, which was thick, hot and sticky.

It flowed from the corner of the mouth to the chin, dripping, staining the neck again, and flowing along the beautiful lines to the collar...

The machine gun guy just took a look at this scene and his brain felt like it was electrocuted and his whole body went numb.

The blood was boiling, and heat was flowing up and down in the body. It felt like carbonated drinks were flowing in the blood vessels, bubbling at the slightest movement.

"I'll... get you some tissues, wait..."

The machine gun guy spoke in a hoarse voice. When he turned his back to Su Yi, he secretly swallowed and felt very hungry.

The tissues seem to be... in the drawer...

Sizzle, sizzle!

Suddenly, when the machine gun guy walked away, the lights on the ceiling flashed a few times.

It flickered rapidly, alternating between bright and dark, making his eyes extremely uncomfortable. Su Yi raised his head to look -

Sizzle!

The light suddenly went out.

The small room was plunged into darkness.

Su Yi felt a little...not good:

"Is... there a power outage?"

The machine gun guy frowned and said, "I'll go see if the circuit breaker is tripped."

Su Yi heard the sound of him walking, and at this moment, the back of his hand suddenly felt...itchy.

It was like a breath, blowing gently across the back of his hand, blowing on his hand that had just been hurt by the machine gunner's rough uniform. The breath was cool and made him feel a little itchy.

Su Yi dodged for a moment and hid his hands behind his back.

Within two seconds, the breath came again, blowing on his hand, as if deliberately teasing him in the dark.

Su Yi was a little annoyed and couldn't help but scold:

"…What are you doing? Go check the switch!"

Machine Gun Guy: "? I... am watching."

Su Yi's face was still covered in thick cheese, which had dried up due to the cold, and stuck to his cheeks, making him feel uncomfortable:

"Hurry up, have you got the tissue?"

As he was asking, he suddenly felt his finger... being touched?.

...touch it again?!

The force gently curled up his fingers, and his whole hand was clenched into a loose fist with a hole in the middle.

Su Yi was really angry this time. What was the machine gun guy doing? He didn't check the switch, didn't take the tissue, and deliberately bullied him in the dark...

He wanted to see what this guy was going to do.

The next second, Su Yi felt a finger slowly reaching into his clenched fist.

The finger was calloused and slender, fitting tightly into the small hole formed by his four fingers, rubbing slowly until it reached the innermost part.

Su Yi was about to clench his fist and pinch this disobedient finger, swish——

This finger was very deft, it quickly pulled out, and not long after, it slipped back into the circle of his hand, quickly repeating several times, constantly rubbing the slender fingertips...

Su Yi's face turned red immediately. If he didn't understand this hint, he would be a fool. He immediately retracted his hand and cursed:

“…You rascal!”

Snap——

The machine gun guy turned on the power switch.

The fluorescent lights suddenly lit up, illuminating every corner of the room.

The machine gun guy had just been thinking about Su Yi's face covered with cheese in the dark. Many dirty thoughts were surging in his mind. Suddenly he was called a hooligan and blurted out:

"I'm sorry! I..."

The machine gun guy paused for a moment. He saw Su Yi's face suddenly change and he looked very surprised.

The light from the ceiling was extremely bright, illuminating the entire room in a pale light.

Su Yi clearly saw that the machine gunner was indeed next to the switch, at least seven steps away from him.

That bastard who was next to him and playing with his fingers just now...

Who is it?
