Eerie creatures descend upon Earth, rules become humanity's final showdown against the unspeakable.
Then, as if venting his anger, the chef chopped a few more times. When he finally put the knife back, Ann's head fell over like a sliced watermelon, with several segments falling in different directions, revealing everything inside—a strawberry cream cake.
Cheng Zhu found it difficult to tell whether artificial intelligence had automatically filtered out the horror images, or whether An himself was a cake person.
Or perhaps everything before our eyes is just an illusion.
It's scary, but not entirely scary, because of the green intelligent filtration system.
Realizing this, Cheng Zhu was both amused and exasperated, and once again felt grateful for the existence of the chip. Not only could it allow him to deceive himself in his daily life, but it could also ensure the mental state of citizens and block many things that might lower their sanity. It was truly a great invention.
Since the chef cannot cause any real harm or attack to him as long as he ignores him, Cheng Zhu needs to think of other ways to get out.
She naturally turned her attention back to the rules of the kitchen.
The ninth rule has one last sentence: [After the other person leaves the kitchen, immediately tell your AI, "Public kitchen red alert."]
The door to the communal kitchen disappeared, and if a reason had to be found, it would most likely be because of the milk jelly person. The rules emphasize not making any noise, not communicating with it, not accepting any milk jelly from it, and waiting for it to leave the kitchen first. This likely means that when a citizen and the milk jelly person are in the same scene, the citizen cannot leave the kitchen.
Therefore, rule number ten is not entirely accurate.
It's more like an ideal clause. When there's a potential danger in the communal kitchen but no actual danger has occurred, citizens can certainly leave the kitchen immediately. However, when the "milk jelly man" appears, the communal kitchen door automatically disappears. Although Rule 10 also advocates leaving the kitchen immediately, at this point, citizens have no way to leave the kitchen.
……Wait a moment.
Cheng Zhu automatically visualized this rule in his mind: in a kitchen with no exit, the milk jelly man left the kitchen, and as he left, the hidden exit in the public kitchen reappeared.
So the key point is how to get that milk jelly person out of here.
At this moment, the jelly man had smashed the fat man into a pile of fragments, leaving almost no trace of his existence. He then picked up a handful of fragments from the ground and put them into a plate. When he moved his hand away, a perfectly intact jelly appeared.
Seeing Chengzhu's gaze, he smiled and walked towards her, handing her the milk jelly: "Do you want some?"
Cheng Zhu didn't look at his milk pudding, nor did he answer his question. Instead, he stared at his neck, seemingly deep in thought.
The atmosphere in the communal kitchen became somewhat tense for a moment.
Ya stayed by Cheng Zhu's side from beginning to end, maintaining the same expression as before, but no longer making a fuss. She didn't ask Cheng Zhu what he had seen or what fluctuations he had in his mind, nor did she push any advertisements. In addition, the occasional fluctuations and random characters on her body made her seem like her intelligence had gone offline, leaving only an artificial shell.
This quiet period didn't last long before Cheng Zhu took action.
She strode forward to the side of the jelly-like creature, grabbed its collar, and with all her might, used the momentum of her forward movement to slam it against the wall. It all happened so suddenly that the jelly-like creature had no time to react before this seemingly quiet girl grabbed it by the collar and hurled it in a certain direction.
This is how Cheng Zhu remembers the location of the entrance.
However, the door did not appear in front of her as Cheng Zhu had expected, and the milk jelly person crashed into the wall in a very ordinary way.
The moment the jelly-like man hit the wall, ripples spread across his body, like a jelly shaking, quickly dissipating all the force without causing any obvious damage. Before the jelly-like man could even get up with hatred in his eyes, Cheng Zhu struck again, grabbing him by the collar and slamming him against the wall once more.
Compared to the audience's shock, Cheng Zhu's expression was more relaxed.
The milk jelly was much lighter than she had imagined, so it didn't take much effort to swing it. She was only unilaterally beating the other person without communicating or making a sound, so it didn't violate the rules and she wouldn't be punished.
The logic behind Cheng Zhu's breakthrough is actually quite simple.
Since the goal is to get the jelly-like creature out of here, it can leave on its own, or we can see it off. It can't see the door itself, but it certainly can if it wants to leave. If throwing it normally won't get it out of the communal kitchen, then we'll implement the second plan: smash it until it voluntarily escapes the kitchen.
So, after being smashed repeatedly until the wall was covered in debris, the milk jelly figure finally flew out of Cheng Zhu's hands at a certain moment.
There are no doors or windows, yet it inexplicably blends into the wall.
The moment it disappeared into the communal kitchen, the kitchen door, which had previously been missing, reappeared in Cheng Zhu's sight, and at the same time, Ya's condition seemed to have stabilized.
"Christine? Did something just happen?"
It was difficult for Asia to show a look of panic and unease. It seemed to have returned to normal, but it ignored the mess around it. It was as if it had never seen the fat man who had been smashed into a milk pudding, the strange black man wearing a chef's hat, or the strange citizen with two split heads.
Cheng Zhu didn't answer any of its questions, but simply read out the eight words from the rules: "Red alert for public kitchens."
Upon hearing these words, Aya's pupils suddenly turned blood red, and her voice reverted to the most basic system tone: "Red alert request received from citizen Christine. Scanning the public kitchen... Confirmed environmental contamination, under lockdown... Detecting the degree of mental pollution Christine has suffered..."
