Chapter 214 Join us for a bite
Chapter 214 Join us for a bite
(The illustrations in this chapter, and even those mentioned in the previous chapter, were inspired by the fan song "Join us for a bite" from Five Days and Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location.)
During breakfast time, the Decepticons entered the dining hall one after another to collect their supplies for the day, and most of them chose to eat their breakfast there.
Rosa had already left some traces in the junkyard, used the solver to invade Ai's Tomb, created an extended body, found tools to draw her own footprints on the ground, and deliberately turned on the surveillance and projected it to create the illusion that she had gone out.
Then, she projected her image onto the newly built stage in the cafeteria.
If it were her real body, it definitely wouldn't work. She doesn't like performing and singing in front of so many people and their glasses; it makes her extremely nervous.
Therefore, a projection was placed and pre-set actions were performed.
Solving all the Decepticons in the cafeteria with just one song—that shouldn't be too difficult, right?
Inside the cafeteria, a stage set up in a corner is quite eye-catching; there was nothing there yesterday.
Was it set up last night? Are there any performances coming up?
These were the thoughts in the hearts of these Decepticon prisoners, and they were curious about it until the number of people in the canteen reached its peak in the morning, when a melody suddenly began to play inside the canteen.
And we would love you to join us for a bite
Join us for a bite
Join us for a bite
At this moment, there was still nothing in the center of the stage, the broadcast was not turned on, and everyone in the restaurant looked around in confusion until the melody was repeated several times, and as the background sound suddenly rose, a burst of light suddenly turned on in the center of the stage.
A beautiful and delicate female drone stood in the middle of the beam of light, and some people in the restaurant even whistled when they saw her pretty face.
That's a compliment, thank you for the food.
To be honest, she doesn't actually like singing, so she was just playing the original audio and having the projector lip-sync.
Isn't it common to use music to soothe ingredients?
Moreover, cooking while listening to music greatly enhances a chef's mood.
The opening lines, like an invitation, invite them to join this family of mechanical dolls, much like a restaurant that is about to open and looks forward to welcoming everyone.
Come and get to know me.
And you won't want to leave after tonight.
Down here we're lonely.
Many Decepticons were very interested in the suddenly appearing beautiful female robot. The lyrics were still normal until the next line suddenly went wrong.
And we would love you to join us for a bite—we hope you'll join our bite!
Just then, a scream rang out. A creature in the corner of the restaurant was stabbed in the shoulder by a scythe that hung from the ceiling. It was then pulled up to the ceiling for Rosa to enjoy. She only ate the AllSpark portion before throwing the Decepticon down.
The screams caused panic, and the crowd hurriedly retreated, keeping a safe distance from the body that had fallen from the ceiling.
The music continued, and the beautiful female singer seemed oblivious to the "murder" that had occurred in the restaurant, singing one line after another. A camera extending from the shadows recorded everything.
The projector, at just the right moment, grinned for a split second, the extremely unusual wide grin startling everyone.
Rosa suddenly seemed to remember something and turned off the projection that covered the shadow.
You've seen their faces and felt all their bites.
You know our show is far from over.
And Freddy told us you're an organ donor.
On the stage, the lights shine on the female machine, and the wall behind her casts a shadow that is blocked by the light from her body.
Suddenly, something appeared in the shadow behind her; the shadows of bones emerged from behind her, but the actual objects were not visible.
Something is frantically making money from behind her!
The crowd retreated rapidly toward the stage, suddenly realizing that something was wrong with what was on stage.
All eyes are on you.
The projector on the stage turned off, and they could see clearly what was protruding from the female machine's body.
Countless cameras, emitting blue light like optical lenses, blinked at the blue dot at the center of the camera, watching them, gradually filling the entire wall.
It was only then that they realized the door was locked; no matter how hard they tried to ram it or pry it open, the hexagonal symbol with three arrows would appear.
They were trapped here when suddenly someone in the formation shouted, "The Strange Tales of Base 24!"
The Decepticons panicked even more and crowded towards the doorway. Rosa suddenly felt like teasing them again...
We can guide you through our dark fantasy.
As another lyric ended, the stage lights suddenly went out, along with the female camera and the cluster of eye-like cameras. But then...
Learn what we've gone through.
We can teach you to laugh at tragedy.
As the next lyric began, a spotlight suddenly turned on very close to them, and the female character appeared abruptly under the light.
Before the lights were turned on—there was nothing there—
The swarm of planes moved away from her even faster; the closest plane was terrified, screaming and then collapsing to the ground convulsing.
Her sudden appearance and disappearance made everyone even more convinced that the female robot in front of them was not human, but a ghost, or perhaps the "Decepticon Base 24 Ghost Story" because she locked the victims in the hall and carried out a massacre, which looked exactly like the legend.
Immediately afterward, the moment the next lyric appeared, the female singer returned to the stage with the lights, and this time she truly opened her mouth.
An eerie grin, sharp teeth, and countless "eyes" behind it.
Or perhaps it is the vengeful ghost that caused the tragedy at Base 24, as legend has it.
Immediately, everyone burst into tears and howls, because they all knew they were not going to survive.
If you want to survive, you have to run and try not to get caught.
(P.S.: The author of this chapter mentioned that there is another version.)
