Chapter 102: Chapter 47 Shallow Waters or The Abyss_2
Since Lin Yi had always been in the shallow area playing the role of a paddling dog, and the water in this shallow area barely reached his chest, he had just hung the swimming goggles around his neck without actually wearing them.
So when he fell into the water, he instinctively closed his eyes and let his body sink, trying to find the bottom of the pool with his feet...
However, after stepping down once, the pool tiles that should have been under his feet had disappeared!
"Hmm?"
In his surprise, he tried to step down several more times, but each attempt found nothing!
"What...?!"
He violently opened his eyes, braving the intense discomfort caused by the water rushing into them, and looked beneath his body!
"This...?! Fuck!" he cursed inwardly.
Indeed, the pool had vanished once again!
Below him was an endless abyss, his surroundings faintly aglow.
At that moment, he was like sinking into a massive blue hole, with sparse light streaming down from the water above, while below was an expanse of darkness that seemed to devour the world itself!
The world felt as if it had stopped; he floated between the flows, feeling neither gravity nor breath, but from the darkness below emanated an indescribable and intense dread silently wrapping its way around him.
The pitch-black abyss, the distorted light and shadow...
Between the deep blue and the pale white lay a world shattered by the cascading light...
Beneath the abyss, lay an even darker abyss...
The sound of flowing water around his ears gradually faded, the world became tranquil, and he could only hear the beating of his heart and the sound of blood coursing through his veins.
The deadly silence of the world could drive one insane, but amidst the haze he heard a distant, ancient singing.
Below the abyss, creatures whispered, creatures called out, their voices mingled with the ancient song, reaching his ears intermittently...
He felt an urge to just sink down.
"No... No, that’s not right! All wrong!"
At the crucial moment, he realized his hand was still resting on the edge of the pool.
"The pool!"
"I’m still inside the Gymnasium!"
"My hand! It’s still clutching the edge of the pool!"
"Pull me up!"
With that thought, he felt a surge of hot blood boiling in his chest, and a tremendous force erupted inside him, coursing into his arms!
"Roar—"
He roared inwardly, his hands exerting fierce strength, as he yanked himself out of the water!
The moment he broke the surface, his body instinctively reached out in all directions, like a person on the verge of drowning, desperately grasping at anything he could touch!
As luck would have it, someone extended a hand toward him, which he grabbed in his panic and then forcefully pulled himself up.
Conveniently, the other person was also pulling on him.
"Splash—"
He burst out of the water like a seal, but the other person clearly hadn’t expected him to have such a nimble burst of strength and was taken by surprise, toppling to the ground.
Lin Yi gasped heavily, and then felt something soft and pliable under his body.
"Umm... what’s that?"
But before he could react, he was tossed aside like a sandbag...
"Cough cough cough..." he coughed out some water, clutching his face as he climbed up from the edge, and then instinctively looked at the person who had "thrown" him...
On the other side, a sporty female student was just rising from the ground, squinting quietly at him.
She hadn’t been in the water at all, yet the swimsuit in front of her was already wet.
Lin Yi didn’t need to think to know what the soft thing was earlier.
He suddenly felt confined, if the person just now was Wei Liang, he could have bantered about how flexible the human body is, but now he didn’t dare make any move.
"That... just now..." he stammered.
"Keep swimming, there’s still 40 minutes left." The sporty girl seemed indifferent, casually glancing at the clock in the Swimming Hall.
"Ah... okay, sure." Lin Yi scratched the back of his neck and, with his head retracted, made his way to the edge of the pool and then slid very conscientiously into the water.
The shallow end really wasn’t shallow; the water was barely above his armpits, just reaching the level of his chest.
He looked down at the tiles beneath his feet with confusion, the pool water was crystal clear, and the white tiles were distinctly visible. Under the LED light, the lines on the tiles were twisting and wriggling, totally different from the scene he had seen before.
"Swim." The sporty girl flicked some water towards him, breaking his train of thought.
"Oh, oh, oh..." Lin Yi reluctantly submerged himself and was just about to start treading water when he suddenly remembered and silently put on his swimming goggles.
The sporty girl twitched slightly at the sight.
With the goggles on, Lin Yi began kicking against the edge of the pool like a beginner.
There were some other students swimming in the pool, but Lin Yi’s area had become a no-go zone due to the presence of the sporty girl.
Lin Yi thus focused his attention on swimming.
About 10 minutes passed, and around 3:30 PM, a girl walked out from the direction of the changing room and came over to whisper something in the ear of the sporty girl.
The sporty girl glanced outside the Swimming Hall’s glass, then said a couple of words to the girl who nodded, took a look at Lin Yi, and then left.
The sporty girl watched Lin Yi swimming, idly playing with the splashes of water, flicking some onto her own thigh and occasionally onto Lin Yi’s neck as it surfaced.
When the time reached over 40 minutes, people in the Swimming Hall had gradually left, and she also pulled her fair legs out of water, standing up on the anti-slip rubber mat.
She crossed her arms over her chest, looking down at Lin Yi from above.
Gradually, as Lin Yi kept swimming, white powder particles seeped out from his body now and then.
As soon as these white particles appeared, they eagerly burrowed back into Lin Yi’s body.
"Hmph."
She let out a cold laugh, walked to Lin Yi’s side, and then dipped a foot gently into the water, softly disturbing the pool water around Lin Yi.
With the ripples in the water, her toes, like enticing bait, exuded an attractive breath, and the white powder particles seeping out from Lin Yi’s body, as if finding a better target, rushed toward her toes.
Watching this scene, she slowly narrowed her eyes, and in the depths, golden flames slowly rose.
She glanced at Lin Yi again, as though the time for flood discharge had arrived, his body continued to seep white particles.
After leaving Lin Yi’s body, the white particles relentlessly sought her out.
Her expression unchanged, she continued to silently stir the pool water with her toes.
More and more white particles gathered at her foot, then climbed up her toes and over her foot arch like a living entity, slowly enveloping her foot like a sock...
The white particles became more abundant, as if flowing ceaselessly, soon passing her ankle and crawling up her calf...
Her expression shifted slightly, then she took a deep breath and lifted her foot out of the water.
The white powder particles, as if having lost the most delicious food, boiled excitably on the water’s surface.
She glanced at Lin Yi dispassionately.
Lin Yi was still swimming properly.
But she suddenly spoke up sternly, "Your back is out of the water again!"
As she spoke, she had already lifted her foot and then stepped on Lin Yi’s back.
"I didn’t... ah glug glug glug..." The diligent Lin Yi was once again pushed underwater.
But his body, like a deflating balloon... no, more like a squid ejecting ink, was stamped by the sporty girl and a large amount of white powder particles was expelled all at once.
Like a final wave, with a ’Pfft’ sound, there were no more white particles inside Lin Yi.
As soon as they appeared, the white particles greedily swarmed towards the sporty girl’s foot.
The white powder particles kept climbing higher, soon passing her calf, surpassing the knee, and slowly scaling up her thigh...
