Deep in the Living

Chapter 615 Canteen
After the morning run,

Because of the plant's maturity, Roddy's number of circles was raised to exactly four hundred, the same as that of the class monitor, Liberty.

Last night he seemed to have undergone some kind of secret training. This morning he was not only the first to arrive at school, but he also ran very fast and almost overtook the class monitor.

of course,

Freshmen experiencing morning runs for the first time are in luck, especially Yulu, who has never trained her body and usually moves by hanging herself, and even has problems with the most basic walking.

Mr. Question Mark only gave her one loop, which she barely managed to complete by crawling and carrying.

It really worked afterwards; Yulu actually tried walking back to the classroom and decided to gradually get used to walking in the future.

Today's lesson is Mr. Guo's Chinese class.

The new students initially thought that such a mysterious and enigmatic teacher, who was also the founder of a special organization, would impart some truly useful knowledge about monsters, and even teach them the secrets of vortexes.

Little did I know,
Teacher Guo walked straight in, carrying a stack of novels, each one different, and then distributed them.

Roddy received a book called "The Stranger," a very thin literary work.

Libert received the thickest book, titled "A Global History".

"These are the books I selected based on your performance in the freshman assessment."

You have one week to complete the reading and write a reflection. Then, at any time, come to my office alone to submit your reflection and discuss the content of the book with me.

You can read the book on your own for the rest of the class time.

I suggest reading some shorter works several times. If I find that your understanding of the book's content is only superficial, your treatment at school may be adjusted.

There's one more thing.

The school cafeteria has started its trial operation today. You can go there for lunch after you finish reading.

You can also choose to have dinner in the cafeteria. I've already tried it, and the food should be better than what you cook at home. It will also be more nutritious and beneficial for your growth and development.

Fran, who came to class with a pumpkin head on his head, quickly added:
"After the freshman assessment, Mr. Hunter kept me busy with the cafeteria work until I got back in the evening. He was still making preparations."

That's why we were able to start trial operations so quickly. I hope everyone can try it; it's really delicious.

Roddy wasn't listening to the conversations outside; he was engrossed in his book.

Since encountering hell and embarking on the path of a "murderer," he hasn't been able to sit down and read a book like this for a long time.

When he finished reading the whole thing, his emotions were at their peak, and he quickly wrote down his thoughts and feelings.

After Roddy wrote down two thousand words of his reflections, he realized that only he and Liberty were left in the classroom, and his stomach was already rumbling with hunger.

When I checked the time again, it was already 4:30 pm. I never expected that I would spend eight hours reading in one go.

Other students probably left school after 8 a.m.

Liebert remained engrossed in his work, studying his book, "A Global History," which chronicles the entire history of human development. He read it very carefully, taking extensive notes and raising questions on almost every page, so that he could discuss it with Professor Guo later.

Seeing the other person's serious expression, Luo Di did not disturb them and went to the teacher's office alone to hand in his homework.

After reading Luo Di's reflections, Teacher Guo smiled with the same satisfaction she had shown when she was at the Fourth Middle School.

"This insight is enough to prove that you can now calm down and do your current thing well, instead of being overly ambitious and worrying about the so-called survival of the world just because the plant is mature."

Also, you already know about the Joker, right?

"Mr. Question Mark talked to me last night, asking me to study hard at school for a month before he would give me the information."

"Then let's go back and rest."

"Yes."

"Teacher Guo, you too."

Just as Roddy turned to leave the office, his tongue clicked lightly, not as a warning but as a resonance.

Turning around and looking,
Deep inside the office, there was a recliner where Gustav was sleeping. He had just woken up and was greeting people with his tongue sticking out of his mouth.

"Xiao Di! What a coincidence, let's go together... I can tell you seem really hungry, how about we go to the cafeteria for something to eat?"

I want to see what kind of food that guy can make, and whether it can pass my taste test.

If he doesn't do well, or tries anything funny, I'll eat his tongue.

Before Roddy could respond, the tongue that had been hovering in the distance was already on his other shoulder, and he was pushed out of the office.

The two of them walked towards the school cafeteria.

"What are you doing here, senior?"

"Tomorrow's biology class~ I need to prepare my slides properly. Since it's a class, I naturally need to teach some useful things, after all, unlike you, others can't get individual tutoring from me in the evenings. Oh, by the way..."

Come home with me tonight! Your hellish body still has a lot to improve; you could completely perfect your tongue later on.

etc……"

Gusta's tongue seemed to have tasted something, and it licked Roddy's body.

"Why do you smell like a mystery? Did that guy touch you last night?"

"Yes, Mr. Question Mark also gave me a crash course last night."

Gustav's expression immediately changed upon hearing this. "What does that guy want? You're the student I specifically chose, and he's trying to steal you away, huh...?"

Halfway through his sentence, his anger suddenly vanished, replaced by a lewd, slurring expression. "Fine, fine~ Tutoring is no big deal. Maybe we can even tutor you, Roddy, together."

at the same time
Lying in a bathtub filled with ice cubes, wearing a face mask, Mr. Question Mark, whose mind was filled with the schedule of teaching activities, subconsciously shivered.

As we chatted, we arrived at the school cafeteria.

Perhaps having already sensed their presence, Hunter was waiting at the door ahead of time.

There was no longer any trace of the words "Family of Carnivores" about him.
A thin body, an aged appearance, and standard chef's attire.

Only his hairstyle remained the same—slicked back, slicked back and shiny.

When Roddy confronts the vicious monster who once worked with the Joker to ambush and kill him, he surprisingly finds it difficult to feel hatred.

Roddy's sense of smell couldn't detect any foul odor; the stench called "evil" seemed to have been completely absorbed and erased by Hunter himself.

"Welcome to the school cafeteria. Please follow me."

As I followed Hunter into the cafeteria and stepped onto the doormat, I felt as if I were being swallowed whole.

Instead of the expected public dining area, we were taken directly to a private room.

"I've implemented a spatial arrangement so that students who come in groups can go directly to the corresponding private rooms."

If you are traveling alone, you can choose to dine alone or share a table with them.

This is your first time in the cafeteria. I will prepare a single-person meal according to your physical condition. It will be served in about five minutes. Please wait a moment.

Soon Hunter arrived with the dishes.

What was given to Roddy was a bowl of "fresh broth beef ramen" with his homemade chili oil, and chilled mung bean soup made with lotus seeds, white fungus and dandelion.

It not only satisfies Roddy's favorite requirement for pasta, but also helps to reduce internal heat and dryness.

Gustav's food is served on heated iron plates.

Lift the lid of the pot,

A complete, three-quarters-ripe tongue is presented, with teeth marks on its edges.

It is also served with various seasonal vegetables and a cup of plum and lemon tea, which is refreshing and appetizing.

This tongue is Hunter's own tongue.

"Wow, that's quite a show of sincerity!"

When Gustav saw the tongue, most of his prejudice disappeared.

Roddy also tried his favorite pasta.
The noodles entered the mouth,

His thoughts drifted to the back kitchen, as if he could see Hunter forcefully slamming the dough.

The heat from the chili oil activated the hellish atmosphere, and Roddy even wanted to start doing all sorts of exercises right then and there. But as he drank the mung bean soup, the coolness dispelled the heat, achieving a perfect balance.

"good to eat!"

Just as Roddy couldn't help but give his evaluation,

Hunter handed over another item, not food, but a notebook, which seemed to contain something else.

"I have collaborated with Jock on two occasions against Roddy. Although we were both members of the Eight Evils, we are not very familiar with each other."

However, I still kept a little suspicion.

This is the personal information I can provide about Jock.

Also mixed in was a piece of his skin residue. It was skin tissue he had bitten off his face when he invited me for the second time.

I don't really want to explain why I wanted to work with him, because that's my problem in the first place.
