Since becoming the director, Su Luo's life at the zoo has been no worse than in the small house, except that he has never found the so-called deputy director and director.
So... where is this strange headmaster?
Su Luo searched the entire park thoroughly, not only every gatehouse, but even turned over the trash cans, but still found nothing... Wait, the entire park?
No, there might be one more place she hasn't looked for!
That eerie underwater world.
She had only seen it, but had never actually entered the deep red seawater. This was the only place in the entire park that she had not explored.
Should we... take a gamble?
However, this was the first time Su Luo had encountered a difficult decision. Due to her childhood, she was not very good at swimming, and as for diving, she was even less skilled.
She didn't choose animal organs or fur, so naturally she wouldn't swim fearlessly like that monster in the deep red sea. If she couldn't surface in time, she might really die!
They died because of this bold decision.
However, if she cannot find the park director, she can either leave without being able to complete the process, or wait here until she is absolutely certain that she can find the director.
Pacing back and forth in the room, Su Luo finally fixed his gaze on the long black coffin.
Fine, I'll take the gamble!
She didn't have time to waste here. If things got really bad, she could just leave. Anyway, it wouldn't be a loss for Su Luo.
Carrying the long black coffin on his back, Su Luo then used his points in the system to exchange for a set of diving equipment, spending 100 points in the process.
"If I had known this would come in handy, I should have gotten some when I was stocking up, including fishing rods and lines. Maybe I could have experienced the daily life of a fisherman..."
After closing time in the early morning, Su Luo carried the long black coffin and set off for the aquarium with his equipment.
As expected, the aquarium's doors were not closed despite the closure; instead, they were brightly lit, with green and blue lanterns illuminating the entire area, creating a strong atmosphere. If this were before the apocalypse, it would likely attract a group of internet celebrities who like eerie styles to take photos.
Without the bustling atmosphere of business hours, the monsters in the deep red ocean now seemed to float on the water, letting the buoyancy of the water drag them along.
Occasionally, one or two water monsters that hadn't rested would appear, but upon seeing Su Luo's arrival, they would merely glance at him and make no other move.
Ignoring the small glass fish tanks, Su Luo went straight to the largest pool, or lake, in the very center, which was as big as several basketball courts!
This place is usually used for performances for the audience. The performer stands on a high platform on the water and guides underwater creatures to leap up.
If there really is a place where the deputy director and director's offices can be hidden, it's only under this lake!
After putting on the equipment, Su Luo did not put down the black coffin, but carried it firmly on his back. Then he went to the high platform, took a deep breath, and plunged into the water like a diver.
The moment she entered the water, the red ocean enveloped her. Unlike ordinary seawater, this red substance had a putrid smell and was even a bit sticky, covering her body wetly. It wasn't as easy to swim as she had imagined.
Sliding her arms to steady herself, Su Luo gradually found her footing in the water and then began to swim deeper into the lake.
Unlike other aquariums and fish tanks, which are quite large, even enormous, this lake is completely empty, as if the monsters that performed earlier were just temporarily brought in.
This discovery further confirmed Su Luo's idea.
The offices of the so-called principal and deputy principal are located beneath this lake!
'Gurgle, gurgle.'
Time passed second by second, and as they went deeper, they could see nothing but a dim, deep red glow all around them.
Based on Su Luo's diving speed, although not fast, it must have been several meters or even more than ten meters, yet he still couldn't see any trace of the lake bottom. Could this place really be a lake?
As breathing became increasingly difficult, Su Luo knew he had to go up. Just as Su Luo was about to turn around, the long black coffin on his back suddenly swayed, as if it had sensed something and turned around on its own, facing downwards. From a distance, it looked more like the long black coffin was carrying Su Luo!
Su Luo: ? ? ?
Before Su Luo could react, the black coffin pulled her rapidly downwards towards the bottom of the lake, startling Su Luo so much that she almost lost her composure instantly. She tried to resist, but she was no match for the force of the black coffin.
This is really weird. I didn't expect to die in the water or in the principal's office, but I'm going to be killed by the black coffin that I brought out. Su Luo thought to himself.
The black coffin paid no heed to Su Luo's feelings, continuing its downward journey. Leaning against the coffin, Su Luo couldn't see what was behind her, nor did she know where it was taking her. She only felt the water behind her begin to flow faster and more forcefully, with a rushing sound as if there was an entrance or exit!
Entrance/exit?!
There were indeed other passages underwater!
Unfortunately, Su Luo had almost reached her limit of holding her breath, and although she knew the answer, she choked on water.
She opened her mouth to cough, but more dark red seawater poured into her mouth. The sticky feeling made her stomach churn, and she wanted to vomit but couldn't. Gradually, her vision began to blur...
Just when Su Luo thought she was really going to fail this time, a strong force from behind suddenly sucked her in, and then she passed through a narrow tunnel, like the passage through which a baby is born, long and tight, directly sucking her through the dark red seawater!
As the sea receded and fresh air rushed in, Su Luo braced himself on the ground, coughing and gasping for breath. Red seawater dripped down his body, staining the mermaid carpet beneath his feet.
"Huff, huff."
Struggling to expel the dark red seawater that had been swallowed earlier, Su Luo clearly saw some soft, slender, maggot-like things swimming in the seawater he expelled.
Su Luo: ...
Yue.
That's disgusting!
Not only that, Su Luo also coughed up some small pieces of meat from who-knows-who, with even some unknown animal hairs on them.
Taking a deep breath, Su Luo slowly stood up. The long black coffin behind her, no longer as frantic as it had been in the water, was now quietly resting on her back.
The large characters for "Headmaster" in front of him caught Su Luo's attention.
Principal's Office.
Taking two steps forward, Su Luo looked at the huge glass room in front of him, amazed at what he could see through the glass underwater tunnel.
The dark red seawater returned to its original color, and several huge, deep red tentacles lay across the water. The tentacles had suckers about the size of a washbasin, and they were covered with animal tissue, such as fur, flesh, internal organs, and even horns...
