Xie Chen hurriedly turned around to check, but there was nothing behind him.

The faucet on the side that had just been closed after washing the face began to drip water drops, and they fell on the washbasin little by little.

The sudden silence made Xie Chen breathless.

Even though there was no danger, it felt like someone was grabbing his throat at this moment.

Xie Chen just stood there and turned his head to focus on the fifth single room again.

It was as if there was something inside this single room.

The sound of the watch in his pocket was still there and did not disappear as the surrounding silence fell.

Xie Chen exhaled slowly and relaxed his tense nerves a little.

This pocket watch is just walking normally now, and the speed of rotation is not as exaggerated as when the first copy encountered danger.

In fact, this makes it impossible to judge whether he is in danger at this time.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard again, and Xie Chen stared at the door of the bathroom in panic, waiting for what would come in next.

A teenage boy ran in holding his stomach. When he saw Xie Chen standing here frowning at him, he was stunned.

But I guess it was because my stomach was upset, so I immediately turned into the second single room, holding my stomach, and closed the door tightly.

After the boy came in.

The whole bathroom seemed to have lost the heavy atmosphere before, and even the pocket watch in his pocket had stopped ringing.

Disappeared?

Xie Chen couldn't help but murmur in his heart, but he still didn't dare to act rashly. After all, he wasn't sure yet whether there was anything abnormal in this bathroom.

The strange environment in this copy is hugely different from the first copy.

Xie Chen patted his head. Maybe these thoughts were just scaring himself.

It's really possible...

Listening to the boy going to the toilet in the second single room, Xie Chen couldn't help but sigh.

"How many weird things can a broken toilet have?"

Xie Chen slowly walked to the door, picked up the broom he had placed in front of the door again, and slowly squinted his eyes.

Directly in front of him was the door to the women's bathroom.

"Could there be more clues here?"

"It's really possible..."

But now he wants to go in and investigate, unless he dares to bet his own name.

Luo Xi already had a lot of resentment towards him.

If he were to turn into a pervert who was peeping in the women's restroom, he would probably be thrown out of the swimming pool without clearing the customs.

After walking out of the bathroom, Xie Chen immediately looked at the platform in the middle of the swimming pool.

The female lifeguard covered her face with the book in her hand and probably fell asleep listening to the music in her headphones.

Seeing this scene, Xie Chen couldn't help but feel angry.

"The more I look at it, the more sleepy I feel. Forget it."

Xie Chen threw aside the broom in his hand, and then looked around for the sign of the locker room.

I took a glance at the stairwell on the second floor earlier and found that the general direction was indeed here, but I couldn't possibly remember it in detail.

After looking around, Xie Chen finally found the location.

Like the bathroom, there are also two separate rooms here.

Xie Chen also only dared to walk to the men's changing room.

This time, the space inside was much wider than I imagined, but there was not even a single person there.

The doors to the single rooms in each room were all open, and there was nothing wrong with the situation inside.

But even so, Xie Chen still rummaged through everything.

If anything suspicious appears, it can be compared with what happened in the bathroom.

After looking back and forth, Xiechen slowly returned to the door. There was indeed nothing wrong here.

Even the strange feeling from before did not appear.

This time, after exiting the door of the dressing room, Xie Chen leaned on the wall with one hand and thought quietly.

The prerequisite for clearance is to first find the reason why the swimming pool is becoming increasingly depressed.

In other words, there is some kind of contradiction in the swimming pool, or a loss that is not easily noticeable.

These things are silently eroding the existence of swimming pools.

Until finally it could no longer be maintained.

Through these two inspections of the bathroom and locker room, except for the slight strangeness in the former, there was nothing special.

Maybe I am too sensitive, but this swimming pool does not have any wear and tear on the equipment.

If you really think about it.

Real estate expires, funds are scarce, equipment malfunctions, and water quality becomes polluted.

These are actually possible.

But if these are the prerequisites, how do you achieve the second step to completely shut down the business and make it impossible to resume operations?

This is a very serious problem, and it has even affected where I should think about it next.

If the real estate expires, you can still start construction if you change the express delivery, and there won't be much impact later.

Lack of funds is also not a big problem.

If you can afford to open such a large swimming pool, you can start over from scratch even if it goes bankrupt.

None of this is a problem.

As for the subsequent water pollution and shortage of equipment, there is no need to say more.

Xie Chen gritted his teeth and patted his head.

There is no point between them that can be perfectly solved, and the two cannot even be connected in a reasonable logic.

Everything seemed so pale and feeble.

"well……"

Xie Chen looked a little decadent again, and he couldn't help but feel sleepy when he thought about this.

Just when he yawned, a gentle voice sounded behind him.

"What's wrong? You haven't had enough sleep after catching up on your sleep this morning?"

Xie Chen turned around slowly, and Luo Xi's sister stood behind him with her sleeves rolled up and asked with a smile.

Xie Chen suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment and became at a loss.

"But there's nothing we can do. It's working time now, so there's no way for you to rest."

"This is the working rule in our library."

"It's almost half past three now. There's still about half of the time left. You can endure it a little longer."

Xie Chen nodded gently.

Luo Guyu also added at this time: "Oh, by the way, over there in the changing room, have you gone and looked?"

"We must make sure that all the guests' belongings are stored safely. If something is lost, it would be a failure on our part."

Xie Chen pointed behind him with his thumb: "I just went in and took a look, and there's nothing wrong with it."

"You can rest assured in other aspects."

Luo Guyu put his hands on his hips and laughed: "It seems that you are not as unreliable as Luo Xi said."

"That girl usually has that kind of personality. She's arrogant, but she's also quite good-natured. Don't be angry."

Xie Chen sighed lightly.

He knew that this girl Luo Xi would not speak well of him, but he did not expect that the complaint would be filed so quickly.

In the blink of an eye, her sister has probably heard a lot of bad things about her.

But even so, Xie Chen quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing."

"Oh, by the way, I actually have a question in my mind that I haven't asked yet."

"Oh? Just tell me. I'll tell you if I know."

Facing Xie Chen's questions, Luo Guyu also spoke openly.

"Well……"

"Just...have you encountered anything unusual in the museum recently?"

Hearing Xie Chen's question, Luo Gu Yu couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Abnormal situation?"

"What aspect are you referring to?"

Seeing that there was something going on, Xie Chen immediately replied: "It's okay in all aspects. As long as it's an abnormal situation in our swimming pool, I want to know about it."

"After all, this way we can better understand our shortcomings."

While Xie Chen was talking, he made up such an unflattering lie on the spur of the moment.

After all, the things I asked were indeed a bit outrageous, so I had to come up with some excuses for myself.

"To put it this way, our swimming pool actually doesn't have a very good reputation."

"I think you already knew this before you joined the company, and you don't need me to say more."

Xie Chen nodded slightly. After all, regarding word of mouth, it was indeed pointed out in the rules.

A bad reputation, poor environment, or service attitude issues have prevented this swimming pool from opening.

It seems that it is indeed possible and makes sense.

"Then what?"

Xie Chen immediately cheered up, opened his eyes wide and raised his ears, ready to listen to Luo Guyu's next words.

"This is just not normal."

"Obviously our service attitude is normal, and there are no other special circumstances."

"But as soon as we got there, there were a lot of bad reviews. The reputation of our swimming pool from the guests outside can be said to be particularly bad."

Is there anyone who has a particularly bad reputation?

Isn't this bullshit?

Xie Chen's expression was somewhat speechless, but in the end he nodded lightly.

This point does make people feel very strange.

But I want to find out clearly, but I feel a little unable to start.

It seems that we still need to start with the guests.

When Xie Chen thought of this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

So could that woman just now be the breakthrough?

But why did Luo Xi say that she wasn't even there?

Not even the slightest impression...

"Oh, right."

"Has our swimming pool ever received a woman who looked a little demented?"

"About forty years old, wearing a beige thin coat."

Luo Guyu listened to Xie Chen's description and rubbed his cheeks with his hands to remember.

Under Xie Chen's hopeful eyes, he finally shook his head.

"I have no impression. Does she have anything to do with the phenomena I just mentioned?"

This time it was Luo Guyu who asked Xiechen, but what he got in return was a shake of the head.

"Maybe, I don't know."

Luo Guyu clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Oh, it's okay."

"Anyway, this is not something we can solve. Instead of thinking about this, it is better to serve the guests well."

"A lot of people have come today. In case they need help later, they won't be able to find anyone. After you have checked everything, go and follow."
