#303 - Reflection in the pool
The group quickly arrived at the swimming pool, then dispersed and entered the changing rooms.
The moment Lin Yi stepped into the swimming pool, he suddenly felt the surrounding view darken, and strange wind sounds seemed to appear in his ears.
"Whoosh… whoosh…"
It was like a cold wind blowing out of the dark corners, causing the candlelight to sway back and forth. He seemed to hear the sound of the candlelight constantly hitting the wall in the wind, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.
"Hoo lala… hoo lala…"
At the same time, his vision also began to flicker.
With this step, it was as if he had crossed time and space and stepped directly into a strange tunnel.
"Another vision interaction…?!"
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.
In just one trip to the gymnasium, he had three vision interactions in the supposedly safest gymnasium?!
If this continues, what if he accidentally dropped a layer one time, and he still thought it was just a vision interaction? Wouldn't that be extremely dangerous?
After all, although vision interaction has a great impact on sanity, dropping a layer directly affects HP…
Losing sanity and health at the same time, with a double debuff, what waves can he make with just a little recovery?
At this moment, his flickering vision finally began to stabilize, and his vision gradually became clear, and the "sense of immersion" gradually increased…
He found that the "him" at this moment was huddled with a large crowd in a dark cellar…
Many candlesticks were inserted on the walls of the cellar, and each candle seemed to have burned to the end.
The surroundings were old stones covered with some moss. Even before getting close, it felt like being affected by the cold and piercing aura.
He spotted a familiar person in his vision—Yan Jinming.
"This is Maozi's perspective!"
"I jumped to Maozi's perspective again?!"
Lin Yi had just determined the "location" of the perspective and hadn't started observing yet when he suddenly felt someone pat him on the shoulder.
At the same time, a familiar voice rang in his ears—
"What are you standing here for? Stop spacing out all the time, concentrate a little! If you really can't, observe others, it's good to look at legs and hands and stuff!"
As soon as the voice rang, the perspective in front of Lin Yi quickly faded away. He was like a person who had sneaked into the water and saw the underwater scene, and was dragged out of the water by someone holding the rescue rope.
When he emerged from the water, he could no longer see anything in the water.
He immediately returned to reality, creating the fastest record for vision interaction…
He looked at the hand on his shoulder and turned around to see who was so awesome that he could pull him out of the vision so domineeringly.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that the boss's kick was so strong that you're only showing symptoms now?" The speaker was naturally Wei Liang.
Beside him was Xiao Zhouzi.
"So it's Liangzi, then it's okay." These words popped out of Lin Yi's mind for no reason.
"Liangzi, why are you here?" Lin Yi asked subconsciously.
"Damn, of course I'm here to swim!" Wei Liang said with heartache, "You kid, surrounded by the boss and Li Huiyuan, leaving me alone over there, that's not cool!"
Xiao Zhouzi's mouth twitched fiercely. What 'surrounded by the boss and Li Huiyuan'? Fortunately, the boss didn't hear these lewd words, otherwise Wei Liang might have to float up from the swimming pool today…
"That's not what I meant, I mean…"
"Hey, what are you talking about? Let's go, let's go swimming!" Wei Liang pushed Lin Yi towards the changing room of the swimming pool.
Lin Yi thought to himself, that's really not what I meant, I just wanted to ask why you came so coincidentally…
But he couldn't resist Wei Liang's old man pushing old man, directly sending him to the changing room.
The lockers in the swimming pool changing room required a student ID card to swipe.
Lin Yi and Wei Liang swiped their respective lockers and started changing into their swimsuits. At this moment, Lin Yi discovered that Xiao Zhouzi had actually put his hand on the card reader. The next moment, with two "beeps", the locker door popped open.
"What is this operation?" Lin Yi was stunned.
"Innate door-picking physique?" Wei Liang couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.
"What are you two chattering about over there?" Xiao Zhouzi frowned in the distance.
"Nothing, nothing…" Wei Liang stuffed the clothes he took off into the locker, then put the student ID card back into the waterproof card case, and got up cleanly, heading towards the swimming pool, "Old Lin, time to go!"
"Coming, coming!"
…
May 9, X023, 15:08, first floor of the gymnasium, swimming pool area, in front of the pool.
Both the boss and Li Huiyuan had changed into the same style of dark blue one-piece triangular swimsuits. There was also a blue and white stripe on the side of the swimsuit, which showed that this was the standard female swimsuit style for the gymnasium.
Li Huiyuan was almost a head shorter than the boss. The two of them standing together gave the feeling of a domineering CEO taking her high school sister to the beach for vacation.
At this time, Lin Yi also noticed that a girl walked out of the direction of the women's changing room. After the girl came out, she looked around, and then walked towards the boss.
"Boss."
The girl came to the boss's side and greeted her gently.
The boss glanced at Wei Liang and said lightly, "Take that guy for a training session. As long as he doesn't die, anything goes."
Upon hearing this, the girl looked over, but Wei Liang and Lin Yi were standing together, and for a moment she was a little unsure: "Boss, which one?"
"The one on the left is mine, the one on the right is yours," the boss said.
"Okay!" The girl smiled and looked at Wei Liang, "My name is Xia Lian, nice to meet you!"
Wei Liang's eyes lit up, as if they contained two little stars. Those who didn't know would have thought he was a grinning angel transformed into a human. But according to his personality, he should have said a few flirty words, but at this moment he restrained himself as much as possible and replied politely: "My name is Wei Liang, nice to meet you… slurping!"
"Then come with me, let's go to the other side," Xia Lian said with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go, no, cough cough, let's go," Wei Liang said "calmly", then elbowed Lin Yi, secretly gave him a thumbs up, winked, and whispered: "Good brother!"
"Good luck…" Lin Yi whispered.
"I'll take it down," Wei Liang made a 'yay' gesture, his steps much lighter, as if he was stepping out of a rhythm of "peach blossoms blooming".
Xia Lian glanced at Wei Liang's back and whispered in the boss's ear: "Is it really okay to mess around?"
"I can't see through him," the boss said calmly, "So either he really has nothing, or he's hiding it incredibly deep."
"Given that he and Lin Yi are together, I'd rather overestimate him."
"Awesome! Then I'll play as I please!"
Boss: "…"
"Restrain yourself a little…"
"Awesome yeah! Got it, if you can't play him to death, then play him to death!" Xia Lian showed a little devilish smile.
For some reason, watching Xia Lian whispering to the boss by the side, Lin Yi suddenly had a bad feeling…
"Alright." The boss retracted his gaze and looked at Lin Yi, "You've stretched enough during the recovery training. Let's start swimming directly."
Lin Yi then asked, "Is there any training content?"
"No content, just pure swimming." The boss said, "Still in the shallow water area. Go down and get used to the water temperature first, then I'll throw you out, and you swim back yourself."
"Is it that simple?"
"Doesn't the recovery training sound even simpler?" The boss glanced at him.
Lin Yi quickly shut his mouth.
"Like before, Huizi will swim with you. If there's any danger, she will… pull you up."
"'Pull'…?" Lin Yi felt that this word had a "deep meaning".
Was the boss counting on him sinking?
"Go down." The boss said.
Lin Yi quickly walked to the shallow water area.
There were quite a few people swimming in the pool now. The surging water waves pushed irregularly towards the drainage ditch at the edge of the pool. The cool water waves pushed over Lin Yi's instep, giving him the feeling of walking on the beach.
Suddenly, an eerie call rang in his ear:
【Lin Yi…】
Lin Yi suddenly shuddered.
"Who?!"
He suddenly looked up and looked around.
Although the pool area couldn't be called noisy, the sounds from other people became quite loud after being mixed together.
But… no one would call him!
He glanced at the boss.
The boss asked in return, "Is something wrong?"
"It wasn't the boss calling me…" Lin Yi muttered to himself.
At this moment, a "plop" sounded beside him, and Li Huiyuan jumped into the water like a small bomb, splashing water all over him.
"Lin Yi, come down!" Li Huiyuan stood firmly on the tiles at the bottom of the pool, gently stroking the water waves with her hands, and playfully splashed a little water on Lin Yi, who was still on the shore.
"Coming!" Lin Yi responded and came to the edge of the pool to prepare to go into the water.
However, just as his gaze moved down and fell on the surface of the water, that whispering voice rang in his ear again like a breeze.
【Lin Yi…】
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that the surging water waves should have been a distorted reflection, but in that distorted phenomenon, there was a clear figure.
That was his reflection, but the face of that reflection had no facial features, only a mass of facial muscles that were constantly wriggling, looking like it was wearing a Rorschach mask.
His face turned pale "唰", and he subconsciously reached out to touch his face, but stopped when he touched the outline of his face.
Because the reflection in the water… didn't move.
The shadow didn't move, but the ripples twisted crazily. The lights in the water turned into countless phantoms. His shadow was shattered, leaving only a blurred human outline.
The trivial light and shadow, like fragments of glass pieced together, seemed to form another strange pattern in a trance…
The pattern was like countless broken strips of cloth scattered by the wind, and at certain moments, through magical arrangements and combinations, it formed another appearance…
That seemed to be…
"Wings…?!"
The distorted self reflected in the water, like an angel retracting thousands of flying feathers, converged the waves and manifested wings behind him!
【Lin Yi…】
On the faceless outline, a smile with an exaggerated arc seemed to appear, without emotion, but it made people feel chills down their spines.
【Lin Yi… Come… Ah…】
【Lin Yi! Lin Yi…】
【Come on… Come on…】
The voice became louder and louder, as if mixed in the waves and constantly impacting the reefs.
Lin Yi quickly realized that the voice didn't seem to come from his reflection, but from somewhere else.
"Is… there?!"
His gaze flickered, and he actually found that there were no incandescent lamps in the reflected scene at all. The places that should have been incandescent lamps had all turned into… those dilapidated sculptures that were hung up after being bound by chains!
Those dilapidated sculptures in the abandoned classrooms on the 5th floor and above of the teaching building!!
They smiled strangely, making that kind of distant and near call, making people feel dazed and even glowing.
【Lin Yi… you can't escape…】
【Where do you want to go…】
【Come on… Come on…】
【Lin Yi…】
The dilapidated sculptures kept shaking, and the iron chains made a "clang clang" sound as they rubbed, like the sound of monsters chewing metal blades.
The "faceless" figure slowly squatted down and gently stretched out his hand towards Lin Yi…
Suddenly, the water rippled, and a palm with water droplets suddenly protruded from the water and grabbed his wrist.
Just as his wrist was grabbed, he suddenly became alert, subconsciously grabbed the other party's wrist, and then suddenly pulled it out of the water!
"Eh…?!"
A panicked exclamation suddenly rang in Lin Yi's ear, and what appeared in his eyes was Li Huiyuan's face!
Before he could react, Li Huiyuan crashed into his arms like a meteor hammer being pulled back, a full hug hit, directly pinning him to the non-slip rubber floor at the edge of the pool, and the back of his head banged twice on the ground, and the whole child ate a dizzying package.
"Wh-What's going on?" Lin Yi muttered to himself. He just felt that the "faceless version of himself" in the water had a sense of sight that broke through the dimensional wall and jumped out, so he took the opportunity to turn the tables and pull it out from the inside.
The boss was by his side, he was fearless.
But… why did he pull Li Huiyuan out?
No!
"This is not Li Huiyuan!" Lin Yi had a flash of inspiration, realizing that this was a disguise of the "faceless version of himself", and was preparing to give a killer move, but at this moment, the boss's voice rang in his ear:
"What are you doing?"
"Why did you pull Huizi up?"
"Did you see something in the water?"
Three consecutive questions dispersed the "ruthless killing intent" that Lin Yi had just gathered.
"Hui, Huizi…?"
He looked at Li Huiyuan in his arms in disbelief. It was obviously under a clear consciousness, but instead, he produced a sense of dislocation that could not distinguish between illusion and reality.
He subconsciously reached out and touched Li Huiyuan's hair, and then pinched her face.
This feeling… it's a real person…
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? You don't even pet cats like this?!" Li Huiyuan broke free from Lin Yi all of a sudden, and bounced away like a flustered magnet.
After standing still, her face was slightly drunk, and some heat seemed to be coming out of her little forehead.
