Chapter 33: Who is it?
As the surroundings darkened, the sound of water splashing followed.
It's as if all the pools in the swimming pool are very lively.
Xie Chen stood in place and didn't dare to move, but as the sound of the splash became louder and louder, his body began to tremble.
It's not because I'm afraid, but for some reason, the temperature in the swimming pool begins to plummet.
Even Xie Chen already felt that the temperature might have reached single digits.
"Woo."
An extremely subtle cry came into Xie Chen's ears, and if you didn't pay attention carefully, you wouldn't even be able to hear it clearly.
Xie Chen put his hands in front of him, trying to resist the cold around him and rob him of his body temperature.
When he faintly heard the cry, he began to concentrate his attention again with bated breath, trying to find the source of the sound.
When the swimming pool fell into darkness, even the light on the top of the ramp dimmed down, leaving only the front light of the staff room still on.
But it's very weak.
Xie Chen's body trembled violently, and the temperature around him began to get lower and lower, reaching the limit that ordinary people could bear.
Xie Chen couldn't control his body and began to squat down slowly.
With his cold hands leaning in front of his mouth, he kept breathing hot.
It was obvious that his lips were stiffening, and even his vision was slowly becoming cloudy.
Realizing this, Xie Chen hurriedly straightened up.
But his legs staggered and became a little weak, and when he wanted to move, he was so stiff that he couldn't even walk.
Under this sudden cold, the brain is no longer able to control the limbs.
Not to mention getting up and walking, it is very difficult to maintain your balance.
Xie Chen gritted his teeth and took a step forward with difficulty.
But he didn't even feel the soles of his feet touching the ground, and his knees also weakened, and the whole person fell to the ground fiercely.
Knock.
The body came into close contact with the ground.
Under the instant 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 sharp pain made him think for a moment that his pocket watch could turn the space upside down.
Enough to allow the surrounding temperature to rise.
It's only now that I think about it, and it's already too late.
The extremely strong feeling of fainting followed and rushed to his brain, even if he bit his tongue and tried to give himself a little spirit, it was in vain.
The feeling of fainting washed over the last wisp of consciousness of himself like a tidal wave, until the whole person passed out.
Xie Chen was lying alone on the diagonal left side of the swimming pool.
It was pitch black.
The sound of several soles touching the ground followed, and it was very soft.
But in this case, there is no figure to be seen at all, which makes the voice look extremely weird.
About ten seconds later.
The voices also subdued.
But the movement did not stop, followed by a dragging sound.
It was as if something had been dragged effortlessly for a long distance.
The dragging sound is intermittent, sometimes stopping for several minutes before it resounds.
"Woo ......"
"It's so dark here...... I'm scared. ”
“……”
"I'm not afraid, I'm brave!"
…………
The surroundings are in a trance.
It's like flickering light and dark.
Xie Chen straightened up suddenly, panting heavily on his chest, and cold sweat flowed down his body.
Looking at the bright scene around him, Xie Chen's eyes looked a little dull.
"It's ...... Room? ”
Xie Chen, who didn't quite believe it, rubbed his eyes vigorously.
It wasn't until I opened it up again that I didn't notice any change in the scene in front of me, and I was finally sure that all this was not an illusion.
Xie Chen was still a little incredulous in his heart, and he couldn't help but disbelieve the scene in front of him.
"Xie Chen!"
"It's almost time, are you up yet?"
Luo Xi's voice followed from outside the door.
Xie Chen turned his head to look out the window.
Looking at the time state outside, I roughly deduced that it was time to go to work.
"Wake up, wait a minute."
Xie Chen shouted at the door at the top of his voice, which was regarded as letting Luo Xi know that he had gotten up and avoided the subsequent number of falls in advance.
Listening to the footsteps that were supposed to come to the door, they were getting farther and farther away, and Xie Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that he didn't get out of bed immediately, but sat on the soft bed in a daze, and his thoughts were a little empty.
"Last night's ......"
Xie Chen reached out and covered the back of his head, trying to think if he could recall more details.
But as soon as I recalled, my thoughts became extremely blurry, and I couldn't even recall the slightest bit and details.
I don't know how I got back to my room.
Xie Chen, who thought to no avail, had no choice but to lift the quilt, and then turned over and got out of bed.
The moment he stood up, a sharp pain followed from his knee.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and held on to the bed, the whole person would have fallen to the ground.
Xie Chen crumpled his face and covered his knees, his expression looking very painful.
When he slowly squatted on the ground, he easily opened the palm on his knee.
A large bruise on the side followed in his eyes.
With just a slight touch, the sharp pain that pierced the bone marrow spread to his brain along with the nerves, making Xie Chen gasp.
But fortunately, it was this sharp pain that reminded him of the feeling of falling to the ground last night.
It's just that what happened behind me, I didn't have any picture of what I thought.
"Did someone bring me back to my room?"
Xie Chen immediately thought of the two sisters.
But then he shook his head again, and denied this idea in his heart.
If it's really the two of them.
This morning was definitely not like this, how to say that when I woke up, one of the two sisters would stand by her bed and stare at her.
Just now, Luo Xi was obviously going to come over and call him to get up.
After being dealt with by himself, he followed and walked away, which may not be at all what he imagined.
"Will that be a fat cook?"
After denying the possibility of the two sisters, Xie Chen put the object of suspicion on the fat cook.
After all, when the swimming pool becomes invisible, only the passage light outside the kitchen is still on.
It is very likely that when he returned from making breakfast, he found himself lying in the middle of the swimming pool.
But he had obviously provoked him before, and after seeing himself faint, he was so benevolent and righteous instead of mending the knife.
Xie Chen's just thinking about it is unlikely.
And if the discoverer is a fat cook.
With his relationship with the two sisters, he would definitely inform the latter.
Then think of the situation in the morning again, and this possibility will be annihilated.
Xie Chen sighed, and had no idea for the time being, so he had to hold on to the bed board behind him, and slowly got up and sat on the bed.
Although the area of the bruise is not large, it is only in the side corner of the knee.
But it covered the bent muscles and bones, and it looked a little swollen.
I don't know if the bones in my knee have been broken.
Originally, it took a long time to recuperate from bruising to swelling, but if you add a fall and break your bones, then this time can be extended by more than two or three times.
Now in the world of weird talk, it is definitely very bad news for me to be injured.
But at this point, how can there be any way to undo it?
Xie Chen sighed.
In my current situation, I can't get out of bed and work.
As soon as I thought that I would have to be yelled at by Luo Xi for a while, I felt an unpleasant feeling in my heart.
"Forget it......"
Xie Chen muttered in his mouth, still planning to strike first.
"Luo Xi!"
Xie Chen shouted at the door as before, and when he saw that there was no response, he raised his voice and shouted his name again.
"Why don't you get up when you're noisy?"
Luo Xi's voice came from outside.
Obviously, after hearing someone call him, Luo Xi was also a little impatient in his heart.
Knock.
The doorknob of Xie Chen's room turned, and then Luo Xi pushed the door from the outside.
"Dead ghost, what are you yelling about?"
"Didn't you just say get up quickly? Why are you still lying in bed and not getting down! ”
Luo Xi looked at Xie Chen sitting on the bed, still looking like a hanging bell, and the anger at the exit was extremely high, and he felt like he was going to swallow people in the next second.
When Xie Chen saw her like this, he was also a little stunned, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.
"That'...... What's ......?"
Xie Chen looked at Luo Xi's frowning brows, and stretched out his hand and pointed to his knees.
Luo Xi followed his fingers and saw a half-small bruise on the side of his knee.
The purple and black appearance makes people feel unbearable just looking at it.
"What's wrong with you?"
"When did you get it?"
Luo Xi followed closely, came to the side of the bed, looked at Xie Chen's knees, and hurriedly asked.
Xie Chen covered his face, making people feel that he was a little embarrassed.
"It was so dark when I walked the stairs last night that I accidentally stepped on it."
Although this is a temporary fabricated lie, there is still 20% truth in it.
Luo Xi frowned, and just glared at Xie Chen.
"Is this funny joke?"
"Think of me as a three-year-old, huh?"
Xie Chen was a little stunned again.
When did it become so easy to be seen lying yourself?
Luo Xi crossed his hands in front of 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?" ”
Won't turn off the lights?
This message fell like thunder in Xie Chen's heart, and it almost sounded a roar in his ears.
How is it possible not to turn off the lights!
So what happened to the swimming pool last night when it suddenly became invisible?!
Luo Xi looked at Xie Chen, who looked sluggish, covered his mouth and shook his head.
"Okay, okay, I know you're ashamed."
"But who told you not to hide it from me?"
"If you really can't do it, you can ask for leave."
"I just hired you to work here, just to share some pressure, but now it's good, the work hasn't been done yet, and I'm here to retire."
Luo Xi walked out of the door and didn't forget to complain.
Xie Chen felt a little helpless in his heart.
But at least judging from Luo Xi's reaction, the one who brought him back to the room last night should be as he thought, and it won't be the two sisters.
But who else could it be......
