Xie Chen's heart was beating fast.
The blade, which reflected the color of blood, pierced his heart.
Xie Chen immediately took out the hand he had just put in his pocket, and pressed the pocket watch in his hand at this moment.
As a crisp voice sounded, Luo Xi's movements in front of him slowly froze until they were motionless.
The hands of the pocket watch in Xie Chen's hand rotated rapidly and then slowly froze.
At a complete stop, the surrounding scene was eerily quiet.
"call."
"It's really useful."
When Xie Chen put away his pocket watch, he immediately took out the short knife in Luo Xi's hand.
Then he searched her pockets again, but found nothing.
Just when Xie Chen was about to give up, his eyes immediately fell on the pocket on the back of her overalls.
This made Xie Chen swallow his saliva. Although he was a little hesitant, he finally put his hand in.
The soft touch came, and a voice seemed to be buzzing in Xie Chen's head.
"This is?"
There is indeed something in the pocket.
After Xie Chen took his hand out of this pocket, a whistle with a bell tied to it lay in his hand.
There is also a series of strange symbols engraved on the whistle. It doesn't look like a trademark or anything like that.
Xiechen frowned and wanted to put it back into Luo Xi's pocket, but when he got closer, he heard her breathing.
Only then did he realize that the time-pausing effect brought by the pocket watch only lasted 30 seconds.
It should be the end of time.
Xie Chen immediately turned around and opened the door to the security room that he had just closed.
For a moment.
All of his five senses were blinded, like being covered by a black curtain, and he couldn't distinguish anything clearly.
Xie Chen held his breath with a solemn expression. After a few seconds, the surroundings gradually returned to light.
He is now standing on the edge of a swimming pool at the front of the swimming pool. The time on the wall clock not far away is 5:43 pm.
It happened to be the time after I left the folding chair when I went out.
It appears to be a last-minute display of the pocket watch's abilities.
Xie Chen did not move around in a hurry, but stayed in place while stroking his chin.
Comparing the time period of the entire swimming pool with the real scene will only make people feel more and more contradictory.
It was around one o'clock at noon, and the weather outside seemed to have just dawned. It was around five o'clock in the afternoon, almost six o'clock, but it was as muggy and hot as a furnace outside.
The timeline doesn't match up at all.
This made Xie Chen very sure that the time in this swimming pool was wrong.
But why don’t these people know it?
Moreover, even if the employees in the swimming pool are on the safe side, all the guests come in from outside. How could they not know that the swimming pool is open in the early morning?
And it was closed at noon when the heat was at its hottest.
Why didn't any of these people respond to this matter?
Are they clear in their hearts?
When Xie Chen thought about these problems, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Because if you analyze it carefully, this matter seems to have little to do with the increasing depression of the swimming pool.
If this group of guests all know the opening hours of the swimming pool, shouldn't it reflect its popularity even more?
What does this mean for the growing depression?
Xie Chen bit her nails gently with her teeth and looked at the clock hanging on the wall not far away, feeling a little dazed.
What would happen if I took away all the time in the swimming pool?
Will anyone find out?
"well……"
"I don't know what the reaction will be."
Xie Chen shook his head and turned around, still thinking that it was not impossible to give it a try.
After looking around, there seemed to be a lot fewer guests in the swimming pool.
Of the large group of children before, only three or four were still playing and playing around here.
When his eyes turned to the platform in the middle of the swimming pool, Xie Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
That bitch is gone again.
The corner of Xiechen's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly came to the door of the women's bathroom.
After coughing three or two times, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Are you in there? Don't hide and come out quickly."
A girl in a swimsuit walked out of the bathroom and glanced at Xie Chen with a slightly disgusted expression.
I had seen this woman before, and she was one of those families. Although she looked quite young, there was a little girl calling her mother before, and I could hear it clearly.
This kind of stare is really embarrassing.
But Xie Chen still had the courage to ask her when she passed by him.
"Girl, may I ask if our lifeguard is here?"
He probably felt that it was inappropriate to ask like this. Seeing her narrowing her eyes and staring at him, Xie Chen changed the way of questioning.
"Um...inside..."
The girl glared at him and said in a cold tone: "I am the only one in the whole bathroom."
Xie Chen was in a daze for a moment, but where did the female health worker go?
"rogue!"
"You haven't left yet because you want me to complain to your management, right?"
Xie Chen quickly bent down to apologize, then turned around and left the bathroom.
"Xiechen?"
"Why do you come back from throwing out the trash and look like you've eaten shit?"
Luo Xi covered her mouth with her hands and joked to Xie Chen.
Xie Chen glanced at her speechlessly, but he really didn't want to talk to her.
But after thinking about it for a while, he pretended to sigh and said, "Let's find our lifeguard again."
"I haven't gotten off work yet, and I don't know where I went."
Luo Xi puffed up his cheeks, looking a little confused.
"Didn't she just go back to the room because of something? Of course she's not in this bathroom."
Xie Chen couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, just leaving a folding chair when he went out.
If we didn't calculate according to the previous calculation, it would actually only take less than five minutes to go out.
In such a short time, she came out of the bathroom and slipped back into the room, completely treating herself like a fool.
Xie Chen took a deep breath, waved his hands and said, "I know, I know."
Luo Xi stretched and watched her sister walking out of the sauna carrying a basin of replaced bath towels, and then said casually.
"It doesn't matter, it's time to get off work anyway."
Xie Chen looked at Luo Xi in front of him and moved back a few steps.
According to what I said, today's working hours are over. It seems that I really follow the time displayed on the wall clock.
At this time, it was still bright outside the door, and it was almost noon.
This made Xie Chen rub his head. According to this calculation, he should stay in the room on the second floor for the remaining ten or twenty hours.
The actual working hours are completely inconsistent with the swimming pool's operating hours, which also results in extremely long rest periods for employees.
"The drought will kill the drought, and the flood will die."
But then I thought about it.
Xie Chen was stunned again.
If nothing unexpected happens, the working hours of the swimming pool should be set by the director.
Assuming he knew this, why would he leave such a large period of free time?
What is this for?
Or is it that his original purpose was to not want the swimming pool to open during this time?
"Could this be the fundamental reason why the swimming pool is becoming increasingly depressed?"
But as the owner of the entire swimming pool, how could he lose his mind and struggle with money?
This doesn't make sense at all.
"Why are you two standing here?"
Xie Chen looked at Luo Gu Yu who was coming towards him, and smiled and nodded in greeting.
Luo Xi immediately ran over with a smile, and hugged Luo Guyu's shoulders.
"Sister, it's time to get off work soon, so I'm going to be lazy for a little bit."
"By the way, let's say hello to the fat cook tonight and ask him to cook more delicious food."
Luo Guyu bent his fingers and tapped her head gently.
"I haven't gotten off work yet, so I just want to eat."
"But I don't know if he will come over here tonight to make a fire and cook. I'll ask later."
Listening to the conversation between the two sisters, Xie Chen only felt a little confused.
Didn't the swimming pool employee rules emphasize that the chef is not responsible for breakfast?
Why aren't you making dinner now?
"The cook won't come over to cook dinner, either?"
Xie Chen put on a puzzled look and then asked.
Luo Guyu tilted his head slightly and shook his head.
"You can't say that. It seems like she has something going on at home recently."
"But most of the time, I can still come over to the swimming pool and prepare dinner."
"If it really doesn't work, we can also cook ourselves. The kitchen itself has prepared ingredients, so don't worry."
Xie Chen nodded slightly.
But this cook reminded him of the security guard at the entrance of the swimming pool.
Could it also be because of a bad work attitude?
If this is the case, will there be any rigid requirements similar to the chef's work code?
Xie Chen shook his head and didn't think much about it for the time being.
If there is such a pull between different identities, then the amount of information contained in this copy is really too great.
Moreover, I have not analyzed the error messages in the rules one by one.
What we know so far is that the employees’ working hours according to Article 1 are completely inconsistent.
Although even if the working hours are not consistent with the real time, it does not directly threaten your life and safety, but I am afraid that there is also wrong information in the second and third items.
Xie Chen raised his hand and patted the numb back of his head.
"Damn it."
"It would be great if there was a system at this time."
"What did you say?"
Luo Xi on the side listened to Xie Chen talking to himself and asked in confusion.
Xie Chen quickly waved his hands.
"Nothing, nothing."
"I'm talking nonsense to myself."
Luo Guyu handed the basin in his hand to his sister, then walked to a platform under the stairs not far away and pressed the red button on it.
A voice followed in the swimming pool.
"Dear guests, our hotel will be closed soon. Please pack your belongings and leave with your family and friends."
As this announcement sounded, the guests in the swimming pool packed up one after another, and some people left one after another.
Xie Chen just sat on the steps nearby, watching the people leaving one after another.
Although there were not many people, I also found several that I had never seen before.
Has anyone come to the swimming pool to swim in just these few minutes?
Could it be that they didn't know that the swimming pool was closed at this time?
Any fool knows it's impossible.
These people all have one thing in common, that is, they don't need to change their clothes at all, they just carry their things and walk out.
So one thing is for sure.
They are not here to swim.
Xie Chen didn't catch up, but secretly paid attention to it. After all, the working hours were not limited to today, and he could see what these people were doing tomorrow.
Originally, I was thinking of just relying on the clearance rewards obtained from the first copy.
The four times of use of the pocket watch should be more than enough to deal with the copy of the star.
But in front of today's amount of information, it seems a bit weak.
"Only three more to go."
Xie Chen rubbed his slightly swollen Jingming point and said helplessly.
These are still secondary. Being highly concentrated for a long time made him inevitably start to feel sleepy again.
Now I just want to sleep well.
From the end of the first instance to now, the total time has been almost forty-eight hours.
My rest time is estimated to be less than eight hours.
Even a robot has to be recharged, let alone an ordinary human being made of flesh and blood.
