Chapter 919: Could It Be Something Paranormal?
Chi Jiao had always been an obedient child in the eyes of the teachers. Since even she said so, the teachers became suspicious.
“Let me try.” One of the teachers took a bite of the dumpling doubtfully.
Under everyone’s apprehensive gazes, the teacher frowned and chewed the dumpling for a while before swallowing it. “Where’s so bad about it? It’s clearly very delicious!”
The other teachers and cooks also had a taste.
The result was unanimous praise. There was no problem with the dumplings at all.
“Teacher, we’re really not lying! Even if someone wanted to play a prank, it can’t be unanimous across all the students, right?” Yi Lanlan had eaten a dumpling that tasted like coriander. She was almost disgusted to death by the taste and kept drinking water.
All the students agreed fervently.
“Teacher Xing, why don’t you try it?” Chi Jiao suggested.
“If the other teachers say it’s fine, I’m sure it’s fine. I think you guys are just being disobedient. The dumplings are fine, why so wasteful?” Xing Yue casually picked up a dumpling and placed it in her mouth confidently.
She then spat out the tomato egg dumpling in horror. “This… this dumpling tastes like soured bamboo shoots…!”
“Teacher Xing, are you serious? Try another one.” After saying that, a teacher stuffed a beef dumpling into her mouth.
Xing Yue almost fainted this time. “This… this tastes like stinky tofu!”
Her eyes rolled back and she collapsed to the ground. The other teachers had no choice but to believe that the students were telling the truth.
The cooks all looked grim. “How… how is this possible? How did this happen again?”
Chi Jiao instantly picked up on what they said. She asked, “Has this happened before?”
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, the cook had no choice but to nod. “When the base camp was still training new army recruits, they said that the food had a strange taste. It tasted either of garlic or onion or ginger. In the end, the base camp couldn’t operate anymore. After a long time, the base camp was revamped for students. But when your school’s freshmen came over, they also found the food to have a strange taste. However, we found the food normal. I don’t know what happened…”
“So scary. Could it be something paranormal?” a female student asked timidly.
However, a male student immediately stood up and mocked her. “Hahaha, what a joke! How can there be such a strange ghost?”
Even so, none of the students could eat this meal.
Thanks to Xing Yue’s experience, the teachers couldn’t force the students to continue eating. They had no choice but to disperse early and let everyone return to their dorms. The teachers would discuss whether they should stop this spring tour.
Once Chi Jiao and the others returned to their room, An Jing immediately came up to them and said, “I told you before, right? This place is really strange!”
“But why did the food suddenly become so awful? What’s the reason?” Dang Nan asked in puzzlement.
