Chapter 322 Sinking
"many!"

“Too much! Too much!!”

The pseudo-human athletes uttered inarticulate roars and crawled towards the skeleton of the angry angel like drug addicts. In their eyes at this moment, the skeleton of the angry angel seemed to be the most delicious food in the world.

This is indeed a feast, not only for the sports students, but also for the pseudo-sports students.

However, when these pseudo-human athletes approached the skeleton of the angry angel, their brows gradually relaxed, and their eyes became empty and lifeless, they seemed to have lost all expression, as if all emotions had been taken away.

Soon, some mixed smells began to seep out of their bodies like steam, just like when the body of an angry angel was peeled into pieces, but they still felt nothing, and continued to devour all the gray fog madly, like a person whose belly is already bursting but still eats non-stop.

All the gray mist they swallowed into their bodies caused their bodies to petrify at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, their bodies began to break and peel off like the Wrathful Angel before. In the end, before they even got close to the Wrathful Angel's skeleton, they all turned into sculptures with only skeletons left.

As the admonition goes, "Those who chase light through the fog will eventually become illusions."

However, what is strange is that the hearts beneath their chests still maintain a certain strange rhythm and are still beating slowly.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Dozens of skeletons were like lamps, and the hearts inside them were like cubs protected in cocoons, beating slowly, beating...

The physical education teachers silently observed the changes below, looking at the beating hearts with indifferent expressions, as if they were still waiting for something.

……

All the athletes in the stands, including Lin Yi, had actually been observing this situation the entire time, because the "feast" they were enjoying did not require them to close their eyes and comprehend something like a cultivator. They only needed to keep their body and mind calm and absorb the sky blue aura.

Therefore, they can all observe their surroundings and just try their best not to be affected by the external environment.

However, people like Lin Yi, who can look around and still "eat" efficiently, are completely different.

Lin Yi also discovered that the ending of those pseudo-human athletes was exactly the same as that of the angry angel. Only a skeleton was left, and the flesh and blood on their bodies all turned into ashes and fell off, then disappeared into various colorful and mixed auras.

However, unlike the angry angels, the products left after their annihilation are only blue and green auras.

Lin Yi's heart suddenly shuddered. Putting aside the roles played by the pseudo-human athletes in the entire incident, their ending seemed like a tool - a kind of converter that transforms the "inedible" gray fog into "edible" blue and green auras!
Every time a pseudo-human athlete is consumed, a certain amount of gray fog can be transformed, no, purified into a certain amount of colored aura, and these auras are fed back into the giant egg!
The wild beasts feed on our people, so why don't we feed on the wild beasts? Everything in the world can be eaten if it is seized within limits! These words suddenly emerged in Lin Yi's mind.

This is the feast!
Only the party who hosts the banquet is the party who enjoys the banquet!
The rest are just fattening foods!
He felt a chill in his heart, and suddenly understood more deeply why the boss and the others did not get rid of the pseudo-human athletes, because these pseudo-human athletes were transformed after the athletes were killed, and they were nocturnal species that only had a "skin".

So these things are placed in the gymnasium, just like the chickens and ducks raised in one's own vegetable garden. In fact, it belongs to a mixed breeding circle. When the banquet starts, the chickens, ducks, and fish are slaughtered together for the meal.

To achieve this, in addition to the athletes' own prevention and control, they only need to prevent the things they raise at home from harming the experience students. Therefore, there are relevant rules in the "Gymnasium Rules" for experience students.

The content of these rules is indeed to "enable students to protect themselves from being harmed by fake athletes."

Lin Yi heaved a long sigh of relief, and began to feel fortunate that at least he was here to watch the first floor as a "foodie".

"But then again, Ryoko knows everything, so why not just skip this meal?"

Wei Liang seemed to be always walking on a road that was not affected by water. Even at this time, he had a feeling of being about to fall into the mud but still standing firm on a bamboo pole.

It’s really a changing world, but Wei Liang is forever.

At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly became aware of some strange noises. The sound was like dozens or hundreds of drum beats beating at the same time, "dong, dong, dong..." hitting his heart, or like it was being hit by a big drum.

His sight quickly locked onto the skeleton lanterns on the playground that held the hearts of the pseudo-human athletes. The beating of the drums was exactly the same as the beating frequency of the heart, as if that was the source of the sound, but he soon felt that it was not...

"The source of the sound... is not those hearts, it's more like..."

Lin Yi looked at the ground beneath his feet.

"…More like it's coming from under my feet."

It’s been so long that I almost forgot that before the dome showed any abnormality, it also felt like a ship at sea, with slight bumps…

"It's the frequency of the dome swinging with the waves..."

But where does this "wave" come from?

He left his seat uncontrollably, walked slowly to the fence of the first-floor stands, rested his chest lightly on the fence, and leaned out to look at the place where the water flow met the side wall of the stands.

The moss had spread over there, and the water pushed gently against the wall like waves pushing against black rock.

“Whew, wow, wow…”

The sound of waves seemed to ring in his ears, and his heart seemed to be beating with the "dong, dong, dong..." sound of drums. The drumbeats and the sound of waves echoed with each other, like a final piece of music.

"The source of that sound... is indeed coming from under the water! It is transmitted to those hearts through the water!"

At this moment, a calling voice mixed in with these voices reached his ears——

【Lin Yi...】

Lin Yi: “?!”

Beneath the waves, a shadow lingers.

Suddenly something broke through the water, grabbed his collar and pulled him to the surface!
"what?!"

Lin Yi was horrified. The moment the strange shadow appeared, his "high-level perception" was completely unnoticed!
He subconsciously reached out his hand and tried to press on the ground in the water to slow down his fall.

This level of the stands is not very high, and a little leverage can alleviate the crisis if you fall down.

However, just as his hand broke through the water, a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes——

"Where's the ground?!"

There is no ground under the water!
“Oh no!”

Before he could react, his whole body crashed into the water because he couldn't hold on to the ground, and fell under the water!

"Gurgle... Gurgle..." Under the water surface, there is a dark green picture, as if one has fallen into some particularly turbid sewage.

Bubbles kept coming out of his mouth and nose. He looked around in panic and looked towards the water surface according to his feeling.

The water surface was right above his head, and it seemed that he could float out with just a few strokes. However, at this moment, he discovered that the bubbles did not float up to the surface, but "sank" below him...

According to the laws of physics, the water surface is where the bubbles float up, but Lin Yi is absolutely sure that the water surface is above his head.

And the most important thing is that he can clearly realize that he is sinking following the bubbles!

That definitely can’t be a good place!
He then tried hard to push the current towards the top of his head, but at that moment, the water around his body suddenly became turbulent, and he seemed to be caught in some kind of whirlpool. He began to lose balance and center of gravity, and was swept around by the current.

"Gululu...Gululu..."

He clenched his teeth, but bubbles began to come out of his mouth and nose uncontrollably. He heard the increasingly clearer calling voices in his ears, [Lin Yi, Lin Yi...], which kept on calling, like waves one after another, constantly pushing through his brain.

Lin Yi felt that his body was restrained, and he was sinking deeper and deeper, with a deeper feeling of powerlessness.

He was like a diver who gradually sank into the deep sea after his equipment was damaged, watching the light and shadows around him becoming darker and darker with the floating of the water. Various kinds of darkness overlapped like gauze, pressing down on him like thousands of mountains.

Above the water, light and shadows slanted, but no light could be seen invading the water. This green stream of water was like a deep pool that no one cared about, a vast and quiet body of water, or even a deep sea shrouded in fog that no ship could reach...

“Clang, clang, clang… clang, clang…”

In the dark abyss, there seemed to be the sound of iron chains rubbing against each other...

“Gurgle…Gurgle…”

Below Lin Yi, there seemed to be an even more turbulent undercurrent, like a prehistoric giant creature sliding its body in the water...

But there was nothing beneath him. It was something more terrifying than the abyss - a void of nothingness.

The hole seemed like a huge eye and a huge mouth under the deep sea. There were some fluorescent green spots at the edge of the field of vision. The blurred sense of boundary made the originally empty void even more oppressive, as if it did not want to swallow people up, but to crush them.

"Gulu, Gulu..."

Lin Yi struggled desperately, but there was no foothold near his hands.

At this moment, he felt the undercurrent beneath him become more turbulent, and a strong tearing sensation appeared all around him. This tearing sensation merged with the undercurrent, as if a group of wild horses were running in different directions, pulling his torso fiercely in these directions...

The intense pain seemed to tear his spirit apart. In that trance, he seemed to see some scattered pale golden dots in the void...

His ears were gradually filled with the "gurgling" sound of the undercurrent and the "clang clang" sound of the sliding iron chains. The mysterious creature under the hole seemed to have stuck its body out of the hole and was swimming slowly towards him.

[Lin Yi... Lin Yi...]

That mysterious creature was actually calling Lin Yi's name, as if it had known Lin Yi before, or... all this was just Lin Yi's auditory, visual, and hallucination. He had never heard such a call, but he instinctively recognized that sound as a sound he could know, and then used an anchor point to anchor it into a sound that could wake him up from this layer?

But his thoughts were soon rejected, because after repeatedly calling his name, the voice finally welcomed its owner...

“Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle…”

The water surged, light golden dots of light continued to gather, and a huge and blurry black shadow slowly emerged from under the hole...

It was a head as big as a mountain. Under the golden light, one could vaguely see the rocky and rugged surface. It was difficult to determine whether it was keratin or some kind of skin just by observation. In the center of the black shadow, the vortex formed by the golden light spots was like a huge power furnace, but the faintly flickering and jumping luster made people think of eyes.

【Lin Yi...】

[It's useless... Everything I do is in vain...]

“Swish…”

The sound of the moving iron chain could be clearly heard in the dark water.

The black shadow seemed to open its mouth, and huge bubbles came out of its mouth "Gurgle...Gurgle...", breaking into countless small bubbles in the water flow, and then sinking to the bottom of the sea.

The light around him was getting dimmer and dimmer, and the temperature was getting colder and colder. Lin Yi felt as if he had fallen into a hole in the Antarctic glacier. The light and shadow were distorted and leaving him. Only the unknown giant under the glacier was left, staring at him coldly.

【Greed... never ends...】

【Everything...will eventually be annihilated...】

【Lin Yi...】

[Lin Yi... come here...]

[Come over here…]

Beneath the void of nothingness, the shadow floats its boundless body.

Can't see clearly.

Can't see clearly at all.

The boundary of the blurred figure was like a stone wall extending from the blue hole to the seabed and the continental shelf. A hazy gray mist floated in it. On the stone wall, it seemed as if the shadows of some thick iron chains could be seen. Those chains seemed to lock it here, but the chains extended all the way to the unknown depths of the void...

As it moved, the chains clanged and undercurrents surged.

【Lin Yi...】

【Take me away...】

【Take me away...】

Lin Yi clenched his teeth, thinking to himself, "Come here?" It's obviously you who is approaching me!
Wait...wait a minute!
He suddenly realized that those bubbles...those bubbles that he thought were coming out of his body, didn't seem to be coming out of him!
Because he closed his mouth, but bubbles were still coming out of his body!
