He couldn't figure it out.
He really couldn't figure it out, no matter how he tried.
So Lin Yi simply stopped thinking about it, because he had already realized that the situation in the Gymnasium was far more complicated than he had imagined.

A short while later, Lin Yi arrived in a shallow layer of Basement Level One of the Gymnasium, then left that place as well.

If Athlete Students carelessly came into contact with them, they would very likely become contaminated without
