98: Chapter 45 Notices and Notes in the Swimming Hall_2 98: Chapter 45 Notices and Notes in the Swimming Hall_2 Xu Shunkang was still silent.
Xie Huayang helplessly shook his head and sighed deeply.
“Sigh——”
He showed a look of helplessness, “If…
I an if sothing ‘contamination’ happened to him that you and I can’t perceive, do you think he can walk out of the Swimming Hall alive?”
Xu Shunkang stood still, his cheek muscles tensed, and his fist gradually tightened.
“Alright, alright, I’m just joking.
Don’t take it to heart.” Xie Huayang quickly changed the subject and patted his shoulder, “Co on, let’s go have a shower and then do so stretching on the second floor.”
“After playing against them for so long, I feel like I’m almost assimilated by them…”
He swung the baseball bat in his hand, and all his joints seed to make a ‘crackling’ sound.
…
May 7, X023, 14:53, the first floor of the Gymnasium.
Sensing Lin Yi approaching quickly from behind, the Sports Student slowed down her steps a bit.
“When did you enroll?” She looked ahead and asked faintly.
Lin Yi knew she was talking to him and hurriedly answered, “Yesterday…
around 17:50 in the evening…”
The Sports Student paused slightly.
“Rember so clearly?”
“Uh…
I have the habit of looking at my watch.” Lin Yi scratched the back of his head.
“That’s a good habit.” She said, “It’s just that sotis, having too clear a concept of ti can also limit one’s perception…
especially when you are traveling in foggy weather.”
Lin Yi shuddered, just about to say “how do you know?” then heard her voice coming from ahead.
“Stop.”
She told him to stop again.
He looked at her, puzzled.
She casually indicated with her eyes, “Ahead is the won’s shower, yours is on the opposite side.”
Unknowingly, the two had reached the entrance area of the Swimming Hall, the location now was right in front of the won’s changing room.
After she finished speaking, she walked into the won’s changing room, but while she was pulling back the curtain, she seed to think of sothing, turned her head toward Lin Yi, and warned, “Unless absolutely necessary, if you dare co in, I’ll break your legs.”
Before her words ended, she had entered the won’s changing room.
“‘Unless absolutely necessary’?” Lin Yi’s first reaction was, could he really enter the won’s changing room?
Normally, this would absolutely not be sothing LSP would even think about, but he suddenly realized that this place was the Gymnasium, S City University’s Gymnasium.
If it ca to the “absolutely necessary” ti she ntioned, how terrifying would that ti be?
He shivered, pulled his gaze away from the curtain of the won’s changing room, and then walked into the n’s changing room.
“Right…
She just said, ‘having too clear a concept of ti can also limit one’s perception’?”
“And she even specifically ntioned foggy weather!”
He suddenly thought of many journeys that did not match up with ti.
For instance, walking a distance of one street lamp in thick fog took over ten minutes;
another instance, walking down a flight of stairs also took over ten minutes;
and another instance, walking from Class 2B to the restroom and back seed completely different in terms of ti and distance…
“So, thinking about ti issues can affect ‘perception’?”
As these thoughts popped into his head, he had already walked past the corner of the changing room and entered into the area of the changing room.
The floor underfoot in the n’s changing room was designed with standard square tiles and a perable anti-slip rubber mat, and the surrounding walls were also covered with white square tiles.
Its area was not very large, but the walls were lined with lockers.
One side of the locker area led to the shower area, and the other side led to the pool area.
The sound of ‘whooshing’ water and the steam rose from inside the shower area along the tiles, but disappeared just a few steps out; from the direction of the changing room, the steam in the shower area seed to spread up to the ankle area.
There were not many people in the changing room, except for a few showering, everyone else was in the pool area.
At the entrance of the changing room, there was a notice, which read:
[Please change into your swimwear before swimming; swimwear is inside the changing cabinets.]
[Swipe your student ID card to open the locker, and only wear the swimwear obtained from the locker opened with your ID card.]
[Please rinse your body after swimming, and unless necessary, try not to wash your hair.]
[Before leaving, place the swimwear you changed out of into the swimwear recycling bin.]
This notice was very simple and normal, but Lin Yi noticed an additional line of remark below it:
[If your head feels uncomfortable, you may close your eyes and wash your hair inside the gymnasium, but if you do so, please inform the sports student in advance to ensure they are by your side.
During the process of washing your hair, no matter what abnormalities you feel, do not open your eyes.
Tell yourself that you are washing your hair in the shower area, and only after you have finished washing and wiping your hair should you confirm the situation with the sports student before opening your eyes.]
[It is forbidden to wash your hair with swim goggles on.]
After reading it, Lin Yi suddenly felt uneasy again.
However, the part about showering seed sowhat similar to what was ntioned in the student rules, but there were so variations on top of it.
Just as he was subconsciously pondering this, a forceful urging voice from the direction of the changing room leading to the swimming area ca from a female sports student, “Are you dressed yet?”
Lin Yi was startled, as it was the first ti soone rushed him to change clothes; he quickly ran toward the changing cabinets while saying, “Hey, hey, hey!
I’m changing, I’m changing!”
He saw several changing cabinets slightly ajar, neatly containing swimwear inside, but rembering the ssage on the notice board, he still used his student ID card to re-open a locker.
The changing cabinets were two-tiered, one tier held slippers, and another tier held the swimwear.
The n’s swimwear at the S City University Gymnasium was uniform black with blue and white-striped boxers.
Besides the boxers, there were also a pair of swimming goggles, a swim cap, a waterproof card case with an elastic band, and several towels.
Lin Yi quickly changed into the swimwear, then placed his student ID card into the waterproof case and wore it on his wrist.
After doing all this, he then closed the locker door.
‘Click!’
As the door shut, whether due to vibration or the wind, it moved a nearby locker.
That particular locker seed not to be closed tightly; with just that movent, the door sprang open.
Without even needing Lin Yi to look, everything inside the locker ca into view.
It was an empty changing cabinet.
The swimwear, slippers, and towels were all taken, and there were no clothes left behind.
Lin Yi realized at a glance that this must have been an individual who had left after swimming and had not closed it properly.
But at that mont, he suddenly noticed a white note stuck on the backside of the door of that locker…
There were only six characters on the note, so the mont he saw the note, he also saw the words on it clearly.
In the sa row, there were four clear large characters:
[Don’t swim!]
Followed by two more characters whose handwriting beca increasingly distorted and rugged:
[Run!!!]
The last character for ‘run,” with its tail stretching out of the note, and three exclamation points, each more emphatic than the last, seed almost as if they were trying to pierce through a steel plate.
“Don’t swim, run?!”
“Crap!”
Lin Yi, who had just changed into his swimwear, felt a chill running down his spine, as goosebumps sprang up all over his body.
The changing room was not cold because it was constantly filled with steam from the shower area, but at that mont, he distinctly felt a terrifying chill.
anwhile, from the direction of the swimming area, ca the impatient voice of the female sports student:
“Are you ready yet?
Do I have to co and help you change?”
“Ah, I’m ready, I’m ready!” Lin Yi quickly responded, but as he turned around, he saw the female sports student already striding over from the swimming area.
By then, she had already changed into a deep blue tankini with white stripes, a simple style commonly worn by athletes, which casually emphasized her near-perfect body lines.
Her body, having traversed the water curtain at the entrance to the swimming area, was dotted with water droplets; she wore no slippers, rely standing barefoot on the non-slip floor.
Under Lin Yi’s astonished gaze, she ca right up to him.
Just being looked at levelly by her, Lin Yi inexplicably felt as if he were half a head shorter than her.
