105: Chapter 49: Boss Magnificent 105: Chapter 49: Boss Magnificent Lin Yi’s pupils dilated uncontrollably at that moment, his frantic brain momentarily crashing.
In that blank moment in his mind, he felt countless streams of cold air spraying from his scalp, making his hair stand on end.
“Tomato…
is the heart?”
He felt a momentary distortion in his cognition, and in that brief instant, he sensed a strong crisis.
He forced himself to regain his composure!
The heart indeed turned back into a tomato, but the pale hand was still there.
He could hear the owner of the hand behind him letting out a “hehehe” chilling laughter, reminiscent of the witch tempting Princess White X with a poisoned apple, emitting that raspy, grating laugh.
“Ignore!
Ignore!
Ignore!”
No, that’s not right, he had already seen it and couldn’t just ignore it!
It should be…
“Don’t respond!”
“Don’t respond even if it kills you!”
He clenched his teeth and silently moved sideways, using his feet like a blind man’s cane, carefully probing the anti-slip mat to avoid tripping over chair legs by accident.
But the thing behind him was moving slowly with him, like an inseparable disease to the bone.
A chill ran through Lin Yi’s heart, and he was shrouded in an intense sense of foreboding.
At this rate, he feared he would not be able to leave.
“Damn it…
just my luck to have continuous troubles in a crisis!”
He took a deep breath, plotting an escape route in his mind.
Then…
as if possessed, he burst out with the power of crafty tricks, using a classic move from Kun Fist, a backhand single strike into a turning back-to-back Iron Mountain Lean, followed by a curved-leg, ground-hugging retreat, and a ducking lunge…
A seamless little combo allowed him to slip under the other’s arm before they could react, even passing an extra bench in the process!
“Is this really possible?
I’m freaking converting to a fan!”
Lin Yi was both shocked and elated, his hawk-like sharp gaze immediately spotting the swimwear collection bin in his field of view ahead.
But in the moment he dodged, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the clothing of the lower half of his pursuer…
A white chef’s uniform, black leather shoes, and…
a chillingly green pocket apron!
“A green pocket chef?!”
A gigantic “?” symbol exploded in Lin Yi’s mind, and the consequence of this brief distraction was a sudden stumble, and despite the anti-slip mat, he toppled forward due to instability.
In that instant, the green pocket chef began to dive at him, crossing several meters in a ghostly fast manner to close the distance between them!
This speed was much faster than the green pocket chef in the Student Cafeteria!
“Ni…
ma?!”
Lin Yi felt as if he heard a fierce whooshing sound.
Under the immense pressure of death, his five senses sharpened instantly, his physical condition seeming to undergo a transformation.
The fall seemed to slow down in his heightened perception, his eyes began to bloodshot, filling with vessels…
“Fuh—”
A low growl rumbled faintly in his throat.
“Fuh-fuh-fuh—”
He gritted his teeth, and hot white steam seemed to hiss faintly from between his teeth and nostrils.
Astonishing explosive power surged from his abdominal core, twisting his falling body, and forcefully twisting his center of gravity upright.
Keeping his arms hugging a towel and swimwear, his body changed from its imminent fall.
He still fell, but before the fall, he catapulted himself forward like a bullet with the brief elevation of his body’s center of gravity and the powerful snap of his legs!
He shot across a gap five centimeters above the anti-slip mat, then slammed into the swimwear collection bin.
“Duang~~!!”
The strong impact made Lin Yi dent the collection bin a bit, with a first wave of sour, numb pain spreading from his back through his body.
“It’s not time yet!”
Seeing the green pocket chef ghosting towards him, ready to feed him a giant tomato, he scrambled up from the ground without catching his breath and tossed the towel and swimwear into the bin.
Just before leaving, a thought struck him, and he yanked off the waterproof wrist wallet, throwing it in as well.
The waterproof wrist wallet might not be swimwear, but it was one of the items in the locker and belonged to the category of things he “changed out of.”
The notice clearly stated:
[Before leaving, put the swimwear you changed out of into the swimwear collection spot.]
Thus, Lin Yi had decided before leaving to put everything from his locker except his own clothes into the collection bin!
After tossing his clothes like lightning, he rushed out towards the swimming area exit!
A rule came to mind—Gymnasium Code of Conduct, Rule 11:
[If you encounter a chef in a green pocket apron inside the gymnasium, please inform a sports student or teacher immediately.
If you see him moving towards you at high speed, rush to the nearest sports student or teacher and loudly ask for help.]
He burst out of the Swimming Hall, planning to seek help from the students inside the Gymnasium.
But when he rushed out of the Swimming Hall, he froze!
There were no sports students nearby in the Gymnasium, only a few people scattered around the distant basketball courts playing basketball.
