Chapter 142 No comment
The cafeteria fell into a deathly silence.
The horrific sight of Russell's arm being ripped off was still fresh in everyone's mind, and at this moment, no one dared to have any interest in the piece of paper under the legs of table A-13.
At this moment, Lin Feng calmly picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth.
He silently prayed in his mind: "System, activate the [Rule Exemption] ability. I want to exempt myself from Cafeteria Rule Six."
[Ding~ The exemption has taken effect and is valid for 24 hours.]
During this period, even if it attracts the attention of a specific entity, it will not be considered a target of violation.
As soon as the system's cold notification sound faded, Lin Feng stood up from his seat.
Vassim, who was standing next to him, immediately grabbed his arm and gently shook his head at him—clearly he had already guessed what Lin Feng was going to do next.
Lin Feng smiled and patted Wasim's arm to reassure him, then turned and walked towards table A-13.
Amidst countless horrified gazes, he naturally squatted down, pretending to tie his shoelaces, while his right hand swiftly reached under the table and pulled out the folded piece of paper.
Time seemed to stand still in the entire cafeteria.
........................
Studio:
"Are you out of your mind?! You just crippled one person and you're already going in again?!"
"Close your eyes! I can't look!"
"Has Brother Feng been corrupted? He's clearly going to his death!"
"He's tying his shoelaces! He touched the piece of paper! Oh no, we're about to trigger the rules!"
"The prison guard in black turned around! Run, Brother Feng!"
........................
The nearest prison guard in black stopped chewing and slowly turned his blood-stained face toward Lin Feng.
For the first time, emotions resembling "confusion" and "delayed processing" surfaced in those inhuman eyes—
It sensed that someone had triggered the rule, but the rule system did not mark this person as a "violation target".
That invisible power of exemption creates a perfect logical paradox between rules and reality.
After a brief three-second standoff, the black-clad prison guard let out a strange gurgling sound, and then lowered his head again to continue gnawing on the severed arm.
Lin Feng had already calmly stood up and stuffed the piece of paper into his pocket.
........................
Studio:
"?? A serious bug?! The rule was triggered but wasn't processed?!"
"What's going on? Why isn't the prison guard in black moving? Where did his murderous aura go?"
"He seems...stuck? Is there confusion in his eyes? Can the eerie be confused?"
"This doesn't make sense! Unless Lin Feng has found a fatal loophole in the rules!"
"Could it be related to Vivian? Feng hugged her just now, did she receive temporary protection?"
"Note the detail: the prison guard was 'confused' rather than 'ignoring,' indicating that Lin Feng did indeed violate the rules, but the punishment mechanism was not activated!"
"Could it be that S-class supernatural entities that experience intimate contact are immune to lower-level rules? Is this a hidden setting?"
........................
Lin Feng returned to his seat without making a sound, and under the cover of his body and the table, quietly unfolded the piece of paper underneath.
The charcoal handwriting was slightly messy, but a few lines of text stood out:
Cell 0: The "empty" space doesn't represent a prisoner; it's the "cancer" of this prison!
It's spreading, trying to devour the prison!
If you find its door open—it means the "barrier" has a breach, and its erosion is accelerating!
**Important Note:**
1. Never close that door!
2. Don't try to peek inside; your "observation" itself will nourish it.
[3. The only correct course of action: While cursing Warden Cyrus Mohn, retreat quickly and then report to Deputy Warden Leng Meng that the door to cell number 0 had been opened.]
After quickly scanning the contents of the paper, Lin Feng folded it again with a slight movement of his fingertips and put it into his pocket.
Ryuichi Kamishiro immediately leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Lin Feng-kun, what does it say on it?"
Lin Feng shook his head slightly and gestured to those around him with his eyes: "Let's talk about it back home."
Just as Takashi Kamishiro nodded and softly said "Oh," a series of slightly hurried footsteps approached from afar.
The newcomer was Marika, the chosen one of the White Elephant Kingdom—a young woman whose eyes still retained a hint of superiority.
She walked straight to Lin Feng's table, almost pressing her red lips to his ear, and whispered quickly:
"Mr. Lin, my father is a well-known wealthy man; you can find his identity online!"
"Just tell me what's on this piece of paper, and when I get back, I'll have him transfer two million US dollars to you! Cash or cryptocurrency, your choice!"
Just as Lin Feng was about to refuse, a line of red text suddenly appeared before his eyes—an urgent notification from the Ghost Stories Strategy Team:
Reject her! Don't be swayed by such a small benefit; the government is preparing to give you a 100 million yuan bonus! It's tax-free in cash!
Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart: As expected of the Dragon Kingdom, it is indeed grand!
He met Marika's expectant gaze and calmly said, "I'm sorry, but I cannot tell you."
Maryka paused for a moment, then bit her lower lip unwillingly, and leaned close to Lin Feng's ear again, her breath carrying a hint of seduction:
"Just tell me... we'll go to the bathroom in a bit, and you can do whatever you want to me..."
As she spoke, she deliberately rubbed her white rabbit against Lin Feng's arm.
Lin Feng glanced down at her overly perfect curves, a half-smile playing on his lips:
"Sorry, I'm not interested in artificial beauties."
"You!" Marika clenched her fists in shame and anger.
Just then, a tall figure, like an iron tower, stood between her and Lin Feng.
Wasim cracked his knuckles, his deep voice carrying an undeniable warning:
"If you disturb our meal again, don't blame me for using violence!"
Marika's expression changed, and she retreated reluctantly under Wasim's piercing gaze.
........................
Studio:
"Hilarious! Look at Feng's disgusted expression! With beauties like Leng Meng and Vivian in the dungeon, this kind of guy is definitely not worth looking at!"
"Try to understand. After all, we have two goddesses at home, Xia Ning and Su Wan. Who could swallow compressed biscuits after having eaten a Manchu Han Imperial Feast?"
"Two million dollars and you're already showing off? Do you think we've never seen money before?!"
"Exactly, it has to be at least a promise like 'I'll give you an autonomous region after this' to be impressive!"
........................
Just as the minor disturbance subsided, Lin Feng suddenly felt an unusual sensation coming from behind.
It felt as if I was being held captive by an invisible gaze.
That gaze... sticky, cold, carrying a kind of malice, like a damp, cold spider web, firmly attached to the skin on the back of his neck.
A surge of physiological disgust and vigilance instantly erupted within him, making his hair stand on end.
He abruptly turned his head, his sharp gaze sweeping like a searchlight in the direction he sensed—
As far as the eye could see, several prison guards were still chatting and laughing, while the cafeteria lady behind the window was lost in thought.
wrong!
Lin Feng's heart sank suddenly; he immediately realized what this meant—
It's because [Cafe Rules 4] has been triggered!
If you feel an inexplicable gaze upon you, immediately go to the "Confession Corner" (below a painting of the ocean on the wall). Stand there quietly for one minute, and the gaze will shift.
