May 9, Year X023, 15:40, the Gymnasium's annex, the "Giant Dome."
Viewed from inside the Giant Dome, the entrance to the Safety Passage was dim and yellow, like the mouth of a pit filled with dust.
Suddenly, heads stirred beneath the yellow light. A crowd of Athlete Students and Experience Students emerged, then poured out like water onto the Giant Dome's ground floor.
Boom-
Following the crowd out of the Safety Passage, Lin Yi felt his vision flash white. Then the view opened up, revealing the Giant Dome's interior layout clearly before him.
Under the dazzling LED lights, the enormous circular stands enclosed the entire field like a bowl.
The seats rose in tiers from the very bottom to the highest point. Each tier was designed just right, seemingly even taking the spectators' sight lines into account.
All the seats in the stands were sky blue, perfectly matching the Physical Education Department's uniform color scheme.
Lin Yi soon discovered that there were actually other Safety Passage entrances on the Giant Dome's ground floor.
Yet he clearly remembered that there was one and only one Safety Passage between the Giant Dome and the Gymnasium. What was going on with those other passages?
Without time to think too much, he hurried along with the crowd toward the Giant Dome's second-tier stands.
Before leaving, Lin Yi quickly examined this Safety Passage. However, he saw no passage number, only a sign marked [Safety Passage].
But as his foot crossed one of the steps into the stands, every hair on his body suddenly stood on end, and the light around him abruptly dimmed...
"Advanced Perception" activated. Everything around him nearly "froze in time"!
The surrounding crowd seemed to stand still at that instant!
What's going on?!
What's going on!!
Lin Yi's heart pounded wildly.
