Chapter 46 Notices and Notes in the Swimming Pool
Chapter 46 Notices and Notes in the Swimming Pool
Then, her eyes gradually narrowed, and only a ray of golden light remained behind her bangs.
She seemed to sense something strange and slowly tightened her grip on the stick covered with a plaster-like substance.
“Crack…”
The cloth strips were stretched tighter and tighter due to the great force, making a grinding sound.
She picked up the stick, stretched out her long, slender legs, and walked towards Lin Yi step by step.
Her actions immediately attracted the attention of the athletes around her, and Xu Shunkang naturally noticed this as well.
Seeing the girl from the sports department getting closer and closer to Lin Yi, Xu Shunkang was secretly surprised. He wanted to say something, but when he saw the stick tightly held in the former's hand, he quietly closed his mouth.
He looked Lin Yi up and down, with worry and confusion in his eyes. He had no idea how Lin Yi had suddenly caught her attention.
Lin Yi also felt a strong sense of oppression. Although the other party was just a girl of similar stature to him, he felt that even ten of him would not be enough to beat the other party with one hand...
Seeing the other party getting closer and closer, he simply made up his mind... and took a half step back.
"stop."
Those two cold yet powerful words struck Lin Yi from behind, blocking his way of retreat.
"Qiang!"
The stick was erected beside him, and the athletic girl stood in front of him.
Eyes facing each other.
Lin Yi saw her face clearly in an instant.
It was a face with clear contours, as white as mutton-fat jade, but even the most skilled craftsman in the world could not carve out such delicate and exquisite facial features.
Her appearance was completely different from the aura of fortitude and heroism that emanated from her, yet it was blended together incomparably skillfully. She was dashing yet also graceful, like a female war goddess standing in the sun.
Just standing in front of Lin Yi, his posture and behavior already revealed a sense of explosiveness ready to explode.
"Wait! Her eyes?!"
Her aura was so strong that it wasn't until the moment they looked into each other's eyes that Lin Yi realized that her eyes... were also golden!
He had seen the security guard's golden eyes and the class teacher's dark golden eyes, but the golden eyes of the sports girl gave him a different feeling.
The gold in these eyes is like the early morning light, golden but not dazzling, restrained and reserved. When people see it, they will not have any resistance, but will only feel extremely at ease in their hearts.
But Lin Yi suddenly discovered that her bangs were sticking to her forehead, her face seemed to be covered with some dust, and there seemed to be some faint scratches on her neck, as if she had just experienced a high-intensity training filled with wind, frost and dust.
Soon she was less than a head's distance away from Lin Yi.
Suddenly, she leaned forward slightly, and under the gaze of many surprised people, she slowly moved in front of Lin Yi.
Her nostrils flared slightly as she carefully sniffed the scent on Lin Yi's body.
This ambiguous and charming scene made Lin Yi's breathing subconsciously quicken, but it also made him dare not do anything rash.
Finally, she seemed to have confirmed something, and the golden flame in her eyes slowly went out.
Those eyes became as clear as autumn water again.
A thought subconsciously popped up in Lin Yi's heart. If Wei Liang, who insisted on claiming that the other party was wearing colored contact lenses, was here and saw this magical scene, he would definitely say some obscene words.
But he is not Wei Liang, and what he says is not sexy enough.
He could only touch his nose and said awkwardly and impolitely: "Uh... hello."
The athletic girl slowly stood up, looked at him calmly, and said with her thin lips: "Come with me to swim."
"Ah?" Lin Yi was stunned and opened his mouth wide.
"Oh my god, this is so sudden..."
But the girl from the sports department only said this one sentence, and then she turned around and walked towards the swimming pool with her stick.
Seeing Lin Yi still standing there in a daze, Xu Shunkang rushed over and patted him on the shoulder fiercely: "Damn it, the boss invited you to go swimming! Hurry up, what are you still standing there for?"
"what?"
"Ah, sister! Hurry up!" He signaled with his eyes, and glanced at the clock on the gymnasium wall, "You only have more than half an hour left in this class, hurry up, don't let the boss wait impatiently!"
He raised his foot, ready to kick Lin Yi in the butt.
"Ah? Oh oh oh..." Lin Yi nodded blankly, looked for the seat of the girls from the sports department, and hurriedly followed them.
Looking at Lin Yi's back as he hurriedly chased after him, the smile on Xu Shunkang's face slowly disappeared, and his eyes slowly narrowed.
A golden light flashed in his dark eyes, but soon went out.
Xie Huayang walked up to him, glanced at the girl from the sports department and Lin Yi, and sneered, "That guy is still a problem after all, he's just like Datou."
Xu Shunkang gritted his teeth, his cheek muscles slightly tensed. He thought seriously for a while before asking, "Have you figured out his problem?"
"No." Xie Huayang said, "You didn't notice it, how could I see it? There are so many of us, maybe only the boss noticed it."
Xu Shunkang didn't say anything.
Xie Huayang added: "I reminded him not to let his imagination run wild. Maybe something happened last night that you and I don't know about."
"You seem to admire him because he has some of Big Head's shadow in him?"
He glanced at Xu Shunkang.
Xu Shunkang remained silent.
Xie Huayang shook his head helplessly and let out a long sigh.
"Ugh--"
He showed a helpless look: "If... I mean if, something 'contamination' happened to him that you and I cannot perceive, do you think he can walk out of the swimming pool alive?"
Xu Shunkang stood in place, his cheek muscles tensed and his fists gradually clenched.
"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously." Xie Huayang quickly changed the subject and patted his shoulder. "Let's go, take a shower together and then go to the second floor for some training."
"After fighting them for so long, I feel like I'm almost assimilated by them..."
He swung the bat in his hand, and all the joints in his body seemed to make crackling sounds.

X023年5月7日，14:53，体育馆一楼。
Noticing Lin Yi approaching quickly from behind, the athletic girl slowed down her pace.
"When did you enter the school?" She asked calmly, looking ahead.
Lin Yi knew she was talking to him, and quickly replied: "Yesterday... Yesterday evening, around 17:50..."
The athletic girl paused slightly.
"Remember it so clearly?" "Uh... I have the habit of looking at my watch." Lin Yi scratched the back of his head.
"It's a good habit," she said, "but sometimes, having too clear a concept of time can limit your cognition...especially when you're traveling in the fog."
Lin Yi's heart trembled, and just when he was about to say "How did you know?", he heard her voice coming from the front again.
"stop."
And he made him stop.
He looked at her in confusion.
She gestured casually with her eyes: "The women's shift is in front, yours is on the opposite side."
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance to the swimming pool area, and were now located just in front of the women's locker room.
After she finished speaking, she walked into the women's locker room. But when she opened the curtain, she seemed to have thought of something, and turned her head to look at Lin Yi, reminding him: "If you dare to come in, I will break your legs unless it is absolutely necessary."
Before she finished speaking, she had already walked into the women's locker room.
"'Unless it's absolutely necessary'?" Lin Yi's first reaction was, can I still join the female version?
Under normal circumstances, this would definitely not be something LSP would even think about, but he suddenly realized that this was a gymnasium, the gymnasium of S City University.
If it comes to what she calls "a last resort", it would be...how terrifying it would be?
He shuddered, withdrew his gaze from the curtain of the women's locker room, and walked into the men's locker room.
"Oh yeah...she just said, 'If you have too clear a concept of time, it will limit your cognition'?"
"And it specifically refers to foggy days!"
He suddenly thought of many journeys that did not match the time.
For example, in thick fog, it took more than ten minutes to walk to the next street light;
For example, it took more than ten minutes to walk down one flight of stairs;
For example, the time and distance of walking from Group B Class 2 to the toilet seem to be completely different...
"So thinking about time issues will affect 'cognition'?"
As these thoughts popped into his mind, he had already walked around the corner of the locker room and entered the locker room area.
The floor of the men's locker room is designed with regular square bricks and water-permeable anti-slip floor glue, and is also covered with white square bricks all around. Its area is not large, but the walls are lined with lockers.
The locker area leads to the bathing area on one side and the pool area on the other.
The sound of water and water vapor came out from the bathing area along the tiles, but it completely dissipated after a few steps. Looking from the direction of the locker room, the bathing area was filled with water vapor that probably spread to the ankle area.
There weren't many people in the locker rooms, except for a few who were bathing, everyone was in the pool area.
There was a notice on the door of the dressing room which read:
[Please change into your swimsuit before swimming. The swimsuit is in the locker. ]
[You can open the locker door by swiping your student ID card, but you can only wear the swimsuit you got by swiping your student ID card. ]
【After swimming, please rinse your body and do not wash your hair unless necessary. 】
[Before leaving, please put all the swimsuits you changed into at the swimsuit recycling area. ]
This notice was very simple and normal, but Lin Yi discovered that there was another note below the notice:
[If you feel uncomfortable in your head, you can wash your hair with your eyes closed in the gym, but if you do this, please inform the gymnast in advance so that he can be with you. During the washing process, no matter if you feel anything unusual, do not open your eyes. Tell yourself that you are washing your hair in the shower area, and after washing and wiping your hair, confirm with the gymnast that you are done before opening your eyes. ]
[Do not wash your hair with your eyes open while wearing swimming goggles. ]
After reading it, Lin Yi suddenly felt something was wrong.
But the part about bathing seems to be somewhat similar to what is mentioned in the student code of conduct, but there are some slight changes based on the student code of conduct.
Just as he subconsciously hesitated for a moment, a female student from the sports department urged him forcefully from the direction of the men's locker room leading to the swimming area: "Are you dressed?"
Lin Yi was startled. It was the first time that someone urged him to change his clothes. He quickly trotted towards the locker, saying, "Hey hey hey! I'm putting on my clothes, I'm putting them on!"
He found several lockers half-open with swimsuits neatly placed inside, but remembering what was said on the sign, he used his student ID to open another locker.
The locker has two layers, one layer for slippers and the other layer for swimsuits.
The men's swimsuits at the S City University Gymnasium are a uniform black base with blue and white striped boxer shorts. In addition to the boxer shorts, they also come with a pair of swimming goggles and a swimming cap, a waterproof card holder with a retractable rubber band, and several towels.
Lin Yi changed into his swimsuit neatly, then put his student ID into a waterproof card holder and wore it on his wrist.
After doing this, he closed the cabinet door.
"Snapped!"
When it was closed, I don't know if it was the vibration or the wind, but it moved a nearby locker.
The locker door seemed not to be closed tightly, and it popped open.
Lin Yi didn't even need to look, everything inside the cabinet appeared in his field of vision.
It was an empty locker.
The swimsuit, slippers, and towels were all taken away, and there was no change of clothes.
Lin Yi understood at a glance that this must be someone who had just finished swimming and accidentally left it unlocked.
But at this moment, he suddenly noticed a white note on the back of the locker door...
There were only six words on the note, so the moment he saw the note, he could see the words clearly.
In the same row are four clear large characters:
【Don’t swim! 】
Then came two words in gradually distorted and rough handwriting:
【Escape quickly! ! ! 】
The word "escape" was written with its tail dragging outside the note, and there were three exclamation marks, each one heavier than the last, as if they could pierce through the steel plate.
"Don't swim, run away?!"
“Oh my god!”
Lin Yi, who had just changed into his swimsuit, felt his scalp tingling and goose bumps all over his body.
Although there was no heating in the locker room, it was not cold at all because there was hot steam coming out of the shower area. But at this moment, he clearly felt a terrible chill.
But at the same time, the impatient voice of the sports girl came from the direction of the swimming area:
"Are you ready? Do you still want me to help you change it myself?"
"Hey, I'm fine, I'm fine!" Lin Yi said quickly, but when he turned around, he saw the girl from the sports department walking towards him briskly from the swimming area.
At this time, she had changed into a dark blue belly-covering triangle swimsuit with white stripes, but the simpler this athlete-friendly uniform was, the more it could easily outline her almost perfect body lines.
Her body was covered with water droplets from walking through the water curtain at the entrance of the swimming area. She was not wearing slippers, but was walking barefoot on the non-slip flooring.
Under Lin Yi's surprised gaze, she walked straight up to him.
Just being looked at straight in her eyes, Lin Yi somehow felt as if he was half a head shorter than her.
I'm late, I'm late, sorry! I was a bit stuck yesterday, and I've been inexplicably busy recently. If I don't update for 24 hours one day, I will ask for leave from everyone in the group, not just for a single chapter--……
