As the surrounding area darkened, the sound of water splashing followed.
It's like all the swimming pools in the swimming pool are extremely lively.
Xie Chen stood there and did not dare to move, but as the sound of splashing water became louder and louder, his body began to tremble.
It wasn't because I was afraid, but for some reason, the body temperature in the swimming pool began to drop sharply.
Even Xie Chen felt that the temperature might have reached single digits.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
An extremely faint whining sound passed into Xie Chen's ears. If you didn't pay attention carefully, you wouldn't even be able to hear it clearly.
Xiechen put his hands in front of himself, trying to resist the cold surrounding him from taking away his body temperature.
When he vaguely heard the crying sound, he began to concentrate his attention with bated breath, trying to find the source of the sound.
After the swimming pool fell into darkness, even the light above the inclined staircase dimmed, leaving only the door light in the staff room still on.
But it is very weak.
Xie Chen's body was shaking violently, and the surrounding temperature began to get lower and lower, reaching the limit that ordinary people could bear.
Xie Chen couldn't control his body and slowly began to squat down.
With his cold hands in front of his mouth, he kept breathing hot air.
It was obvious that his lips were gradually becoming stiffer, and even his vision was slowly becoming blurry.
After realizing this, Xie Chen straightened up quickly.
But his legs were staggering and a little weak. When he wanted to move, he was extremely stiff, and he couldn't even walk at all.
The brain was unable to control the limbs due to the sudden cold.
Not to mention getting up and walking, it is very difficult to maintain one's balance.
Xiechen gritted his teeth and took a step forward with great effort.
But he didn't even feel the soles of his feet touching the ground, his knees softened, and he fell hard to the ground.
There was a thud.
The body came into close contact with the ground.
Under the sudden cold of the swimming pool, Xie Chen's brain didn't even have time to react.
It wasn't until he fell to the ground that the severe pain suddenly reminded him that his pocket watch could rewind space.
Enough to bring the surrounding temperature back up.
It's just that I think of this now, it's already too late.
The extremely strong feeling of fainting rushed towards his brain. Even if he bit his tongue and tried to force himself to be energetic, it was in vain.
The feeling of fainting washed over the remaining ray of consciousness like a wave, until the whole person fainted.
Xie Chen lay all alone on the left side of the swimming pool.
Under total darkness.
Several sounds of contact between the soles of the feet and the ground followed, which seemed very gentle.
But in this case, no one could be seen at all, which made the sound look extremely weird.
About ten seconds later.
These voices also fell silent.
But the movement did not stop, followed by a dragging sound.
It seemed like something had been dragged a long distance with great effort.
The dragging sound is intermittent, sometimes stopping for several minutes before starting again.
"Woooo..."
"It's so dark in here...I'm scared."
"..."
"I'm not afraid, I'm brave!"
…………
The surroundings were in a trance.
Like flickering on and off.
Xie Chen straightened up suddenly, his chest heaving up and down, breathing heavily, and cold sweat dripping from his body.
Looking at the bright scene around him, Xie Chen's eyes seemed a little dull.
"This is... a room?"
Xiechen, who didn't quite believe it, rubbed his eyes vigorously.
It wasn't until he opened it again that the scene in front of him didn't see any changes, and he was finally sure that everything around him was not an illusion.
Xie Chen still had some disbelief in his heart, but he couldn't help but not believe it when he saw the scene in front of him.
"Xiechen!"
"It's almost time, have you gotten up?"
Luo Xi's voice followed from outside the door.
Xie Chen turned to look out the window.
Looking at the time status outside, I roughly inferred that it was probably time to go to work.
"Get up, wait a moment."
Xie Chen shouted at the door at the top of his lungs, letting Luo Xi know that he had gotten up and avoiding the scolding that would follow.
Hearing the footsteps that were supposed to come to the door getting farther and farther, Xie Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.
But he didn't get out of bed immediately. Instead, he sat blankly on the soft bed, his thoughts a little empty.
"What happened last night..."
Xie Chen reached out and covered the back of his head, trying to think of whether he could recall more details.
But I found that as soon as I recalled it, my thoughts became extremely blurry, and I couldn't recall even the smallest details.
How on earth he got back to the room was completely baffling.
After thinking to no avail, Xiechen had no choice but to lift the quilt, then turned over and got out of bed.
The moment he stood up, a sharp pain came from his knees.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and held onto the bed board, he would have fallen to the ground.
Xie Chen wrinkled his face and covered his knees, his expression looking very painful.
When he slowly squatted on the ground, he gently released his palms on his knees.
A large bruise on his side appeared under his eyes.
With just a slight touch, the severe pain that penetrated the bone marrow was transmitted to his brain along with the nerves, causing Xie Chen to take a breath.
Fortunately, this sharp pain also reminded him of the feeling of falling to the ground last night.
It's just that I don't have the slightest idea of what happened behind me, no matter how much I thought about it.
"Who brought me back to the room?"
Xie Chen immediately thought of the two sisters.
But then he shook his head and denied the idea in his heart.
If it's really the two of them.
That was definitely not the case this morning. When I woke up, one of the two sisters would be standing next to my bed and staring at me.
It was obvious that Luo Xi was coming over just now to wake him up.
After being dealt with by himself, he walked away, which was completely inconsistent with what he had imagined.
"Would that be the fat cook?"
After denying the possibility of the two sisters, Xie Chen placed the object of suspicion on the fat cook.
After all, when the swimming pool became invisible, only the passage light outside the kitchen was still on.
It was very possible that when he went back after making breakfast, he found himself lying in the middle of the swimming pool.
But he had clearly pissed him off before, but after seeing himself fainting, he was so merciful that he didn't touch the last hit.
Xie Chen thought it was impossible just thinking about it.
And if the discoverer is a fat cook.
Based on his relationship with the two sisters, he would definitely inform the latter.
Then once again thinking about the situation in the morning, this possibility was annihilated.
Xie Chen sighed. He had no idea for the moment, so he had to hold on to the bed board behind him and slowly stood up and sat on the bed.
Although the bruise area is not large, it is only on the side corner of the knee.
But it covers my bent muscles, which just look a little swollen.
I don’t know if the bones in my knees were damaged or not.
Originally, it would take a long time for the bruises to subside, but if the bones were broken due to a fall, the time would be extended by two or three times.
Now that we are in the world of ghost stories, for me, being injured is definitely very bad news.
But now that the matter has come to this, is there any way to remedy it?
Xie Chen sighed.
In my current situation, I can't get out of bed to work.
When I thought about having to be yelled at by Luo Xi again later, I felt an inexplicable unpleasant feeling in my heart.
"never mind……"
Xie Chen muttered something in his mouth, still planning to strike first.
"Luo Xi!"
As before, Xie Chen shouted at the door. When there was no response, he raised his voice and shouted his name again.
"It's so noisy, why don't you get up?"
Luo Xi's voice came immediately outside.
Obviously, Luo Xi was a little impatient after hearing someone calling him.
There was a thud.
The door handle of Xie Chen's room turned, and Luo Xi pushed the door in from the outside.
"Damn you, what are you yelling about?"
"Didn't you just say to get up quickly? Why are you still lying on the bed?"
Luo Xi looked at Xie Chen sitting on the bed, still looking like a slouch, with so much anger that he felt like he was going to devour him in the next second.
Seeing her like this, Xie Chen was also a little stunned, and for a moment he didn't know how to reply.
"Then...then what..."
Xie Chen looked at Luo Xi's frown and pointed at his knees.
Luo Xi looked along his fingers and saw a small bruise on the side of his knee.
The purple and black appearance is unbearable just looking at it.
"What's wrong with you?"
"When did you hit it?"
Luo Xi followed closely, came to the bedside, looked at Xie Chen's knees, and asked quickly.
Xie Chen covered his face, making people feel that he was acting a bit embarrassing.
"It was too dark when I was walking up the stairs last night, so I accidentally missed the step."
Although this is a make-up lie, there is still 20% truth in it.
Luo Xi frowned and glared at Xie Chen.
"Is your joke funny?"
"Treat me like a three-year-old, right?"
Xie Chen was a little dazed again.
When has it been so easy for someone to tell a lie?
Luo Xi crossed his hands on his chest, gave Xie Chen a roll of his eyes and said, "Our swimming pool doesn't turn off the lights at night. Are you kidding me?"
Not turning off the lights?
This piece of information fell in Xie Chen's heart like thunder, and almost made a roar in his ears.
How could the lights not be turned off!
So what happened last night when the swimming pool suddenly became invisible? !
Luo Xi looked at Xie Chen who had a dull look on his face, covered his mouth and shook his head.
"Okay, okay, I know you feel embarrassed."
"But who told you that you can't hide it from me?"
"If it doesn't work, just ask for leave."
"I just hired you to work here to share some of the pressure. It's a good thing now. I haven't even finished the work yet, so I can retire here."
Luo Xi walked out of the room without forgetting to complain.
Xie Chen felt a little helpless.
But at least judging from Luo Xi's reaction, it should be as he thought that it was not the two sisters who brought him back to the room last night.
But who else could it be...
