Chapter 48 Shallow Water or Abyss
Chapter 48 Shallow Water or Abyss
"Ah?" The confused Lin Yi looked even more confused.
"What do you mean? It's only right that I die on the road?"
She said, "I really want to know what happened to you, but I don't want to..."
"Don't want to... be physically interrupted?" Lin Yi asked tentatively.
Her expression froze slightly, and for the first time, a hint of embarrassment appeared on her heroic face.
As the ultimate senior in the Department of Physical Education, it was indeed a bit embarrassing for her to give the freshman a lob shot right away.
So she said seriously:
"Let's swim."
……
The dark tide beat against the dark rocks, and in the dark sky floated a dark sun with only a golden edge left.
A tower-like figure holding an ancient green lantern stands in the howling sea breeze.
His deep golden eyes looked at the empty area in front of him, and no expression could be seen on his resolute face.
He stared into the air for a long time, then slowly turned around and faced the sea.
“Whew—Whew—Whew—”
The sound of the sea tide is endless, and the waves are breaking and flying.
He raised his foot and stepped on a pale, bloodless hand that was climbing up from the bottom of the cliff.
He exerted a little force, and his palm shattered into countless white fragments with a "bang", which drifted into the air with the sea breeze.
“Hualala——”
The wind sounded sharp and fierce, like a battle song, and his coat rustled in the battle.
Behind him, the vague outline of a building shrouded in a light mist can be vaguely seen.
It is like a bell tower in medieval Europe lost in the thin clouds.
……
May 023, X5, 7:15, first floor of the gymnasium, swimming area.
Lin Yi touched the edge of the swimming pool with his hands and kept kicking the water with his legs to control his body from sinking.
He has been swimming in this posture for 18 minutes.
It wasn't that he had to hold on to the shore, but because he was in the shallow water, he would be able to stand still if he stopped for a moment.
It’s not that he didn’t want to swim out, but the girls from the sports department wouldn’t let him.
The athletic girl seemed very bored; she did not swim, but held her cheek with one hand and used the other to play with the water on her thighs out of boredom.
It has been like this from the beginning to now.
Lin Yi glanced at her secretly, wondering what she was thinking.
But her intuition was extremely sharp. She was drawn back from her thoughts when Lin Yi saw her at a glance. Then, she kept her chin on her hand, her eyes moved slightly, and her gaze fell on Lin Yi.
Lin Yi quickly retracted his gaze and kicked the water even harder...
But the majestic and sweet voice of the athletic girl still floated into his ears:
"Can you swim?"
"Yes... No, I can't." Lin Yi glanced at the time on his watch. It was already 15:21 and the physical education class would be over in a few minutes. It would be better not to make things more complicated.
"If you can't do it, practice more." How could the girl from the sports department not know Lin Yi's little thoughts? The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of control, "Swim for another 40 minutes."
"Okay... eh? Eh? What?" Lin Yi was stunned again and again, "Doesn't the get out of class end at 15:30?"
"Oh." The athletic girl splashed the water calmly. "Among all the rules you know, is there any hard and fast rule that says you can't delay physical education class?"
"Gei...?" Lin Yi's mind flashed through several rules, and his expression changed slightly, "It seems... not?"
Only the student code of conduct stipulates that physical education classes must be attended, and the timetable stipulates the class times for physical education classes and reminds students not to be late. But regarding the rule that physical education classes must end on time, it seems... there is no mention of it at all?
"Ah this..."
He suddenly realized something - no wonder the gym rules said that you have to pay attention to the time during swimming lessons and not exceed 1 hour!
He was wondering at first. The physical education class only lasts for one hour. Not taking into account the time for going to the swimming pool, changing clothes and taking a shower, if a little time is deducted here and there, it is impossible for the total time to exceed one hour!
Boy, now he gets it.
only……
"What a painful realization..."
The emoji of shedding two lines of tears appeared in Lin Yi's mind, and he muttered softly: "Actually... I can swim a little."
"Now again?"
"Uh...I suddenly remembered it."
"Since you can, just swim for a while longer."
If you don't know how to do it, practice more. If you know how to do it, swim more... Lin Yi's face turned bitter. After all, the old ones are the wisest. He had to swim for a full hour anyway.
But compared to the guy who was held in the water for more than an hour, his situation... seems to be much better.
So he began to paddle silently.
Once, twice, once, twice...
"Too slow, be careful." The voice of the sports girl came from above his head.
Then, accompanied by a sound of "your back is floating up", he felt something slippery and soft stepping on his back, pressing his body into the water like a surfboard...
"Huh?!" Lin Yi was suddenly stunned.
The external force broke his balance and he was accidentally stepped into the water with his head, leaving only his two hands holding the edge of the pool outside the water.
"Hey I (grunt grunt grunt)..."
His head also sank into the water, and his vision instantly changed from above the water to underwater.
The LED lights on the water surface become fragmented in the waves, and the blurred light and shadow effects pass through the water surface and become scattered light, refracting into the water, making the clear water flow like a prism.
Since Lin Yi had been paddling in the shallow water, and the water in this shallow water was only up to his chest, he just hung his goggles around his neck and didn't wear them at all.
So when he fell into the water, he subconsciously closed his eyes, lowered his body, and tried to step on the bottom of the pool with his feet...
However, when he stepped on it, the pool tiles that were supposed to be at the bottom of his feet disappeared!
"Um?"
He was so surprised that he stepped on it several times, but all of them missed!
"What……?!"
He suddenly opened his eyes, and despite the strong discomfort caused by the running water hitting his eyes, he looked at the area below his body!
"This...?! Fuck!" he cursed in his mind.
Sure enough, the swimming pool disappeared again!
Below him was an endless abyss, and around him there was a faint light.
At this moment, he felt like he was sinking into a huge blue hole. There was a sparse light in the water above, and below was an endless darkness that seemed to be able to swallow up the world! The world seemed to be still, and he was suspended in the flowing water. He could not feel gravity or breathing, but the darkness below exuded a strong and indescribable sense of horror, slowly enveloping him.
The dark abyss, the distorted light and shadow...
Between the dark blue and the grayish white, there is a world that is shattered by the falling light...
Beneath the abyss, there is an even darker abyss...
The sound of flowing water in his ears slowly disappeared, and the world became peaceful. He could only hear the beating of his own heart and the sound of blood flowing in his veins.
The dead silent world would drive people crazy, but he heard a distant and ancient song in a trance.
In the abyss, there were creatures whispering and calling out, mixed with ancient songs, which reached his ears intermittently...
He had a feeling of sinking.
“No… No! No, no!”
At that crucial moment, he realized that his hands were still on the edge of the pool.
"Swimming pool!"
"I'm still in the gym!"
"My hands! Still holding onto the edge of the pool!"
"Get up here!"
The moment he thought of this moment, he felt hot blood rolling in his chest, and powerful force exploded in his body and was transmitted to his arms!
"Roar--"
He roared in his heart, exerted force with both hands, and pulled himself out of the water!
The moment he left the water, his body instinctively tried to grab hold of everything around him, like a drowning man, desperately reaching for everything he could reach!
As luck would have it, someone reached out to him. He grabbed it in a panic, then exerted force to pull himself up.
Coincidentally, the other party was also trying to pull him.
"Wow——"
He rushed out of the water like a seal, but the opponent obviously did not expect him to be able to burst out with such a strong force, and was knocked to the ground by surprise.
Lin Yi was panting heavily, and then he felt something soft being pressed under him.
"Hmm...what is that?"
But before he could react, he was thrown aside like a sandbag...
"Cough, cough, cough..." He coughed out a few mouthfuls of water, covered his face and climbed up from the shore, then subconsciously looked at the person who "threw him out"...
On the other side, the girl from the athletic department just sat up from the ground, and then quietly narrowed her eyes and looked at him.
She hadn't been in the water from the beginning, but her swimsuit was already wet.
Lin Yi knew what the soft thing was without even thinking.
He suddenly felt awkward. If the person just now was Wei Liang, he could still complain about how soft the human body was, but now he didn't dare to do anything.
"Um...I just..." He hesitated.
"Keep swimming, there are still 40 minutes left." The girl from the sports department seemed to not care and glanced at the pendulum clock in the swimming pool.
"Oh...oh, okay." Lin Yi scratched the back of his neck, shrunk his neck and walked to the edge of the swimming pool, then slid into the swimming pool very consciously.
The water in the shallow area was really not shallow. At most, the water only covered his armpits and barely reached his chest.
He looked at the tiles under his feet with doubtful eyes. The water in the pool was crystal clear and the white square tiles were clearly visible. Under the illumination of the LED lights, the lines of the square tiles twisted and squirmed, which was completely different from what he had seen before.
"Swimming." The girl from the sports department splashed some water at him, interrupting his thoughts.
"Oh oh oh..." Lin Yi shrank back into the water angrily. Just as he was about to start kicking the water, he suddenly remembered and silently put on his swimming goggles.
The athletic girl's eyelids twitched slightly when she saw this.
Wearing goggles, Lin Yi held onto the shore and began to paddle in the water like a beginner.
There were still some students swimming in the swimming pool, but because of the presence of girls from the sports department, Lin Yi's side had become a restricted area.
Lin Yi was able to concentrate on paddling.
Just like that, another 10 minutes passed, and around 15:30, a girl came out from the direction of the locker room, came up to the girl from the sports department, and whispered something in her ear.
The girl from the sports department glanced outside the glass of the swimming pool, then said a few words to the girl. The girl nodded, glanced at Lin Yi, and left.
The girl from the athletic department watched Lin Yi paddling in the water, and splashed water slowly, sometimes splashing some water onto her thighs, and sometimes splashing some water onto Lin Yi's neck as it emerged from the water.
When the time reached more than 40 minutes, the people in the swimming pool had left one after another, and she pulled her white legs out of the water and stood up on the non-slip floor.
She folded her arms across her chest and looked down at Lin Yi.
Gradually, as Lin Yi continued paddling, some white powder particles seeped out of his body from time to time.
After these white powder particles appeared, they immediately drilled into Lin Yi's body.
"Ah."
She sneered, walked to Lin Yi's side, then stretched out a foot and gently tapped it into the water, gently stirring the water around Lin Yi.
As the pool water rippled, her toes exuded an alluring scent like delicious fish bait. The white powder particles that seeped out of Lin Yi's body rushed towards her toes as if they had found a better target.
She looked at this scene and slowly narrowed her eyes. Deep in her eyes, golden flames slowly rose.
She looked at Lin Yi again, and as if it was time to open the floodgates, white powder particles continued to seep out of Lin Yi's body.
After these powder particles left Lin Yi's body, they immediately headed towards her.
There was no change in her expression, she just continued to silently poke the water with her toes.
More and more white particles gathered on her feet, and then, as if they had life, they slowly climbed along her toes to the instep, passed her heels, and gradually wrapped around her soles like boat socks...
The white particles became more and more numerous, seemingly endless, and soon covered her ankles and spread to her calves...
Her expression changed slightly, then she took a deep breath and pulled her foot out of the water.
The white powder particles seemed to have lost their most delicious food and began to boil excitedly on the water surface.
She glanced at Lin Yi indifferently.
Lin Yi was swimming well.
But she suddenly said sternly: "Your back is floating again!"
The moment she opened her mouth, she had already raised her foot and stepped on Lin Yi's back.
"I didn't...ah, gurgle gurgle..." The diligent Lin Yi was stepped into the water again.
But his body was like a balloon... no, it was more like a cuttlefish spraying juice, and the athletic girl stepped on it and a large amount of white powder particles came out at once.
But this seemed to be the last wave. After a "puff", there were no more white powder particles in Lin Yi's body.
After these powder particles appeared, they immediately rushed greedily to the feet of the athletic girl.
The white powder particles continued to rise, soon covering her calves, surpassing her knees, and slowly climbing up her thighs...
Thanks to the book friend "Super Daxiwang" for the reward! !
