Chapter 240 Is it time to hang up?
After getting oxygen, Sawaki Kouhei calmed down temporarily.
He thought rationally and felt that he was not without a way out.
——Hold on first. Later, when those pedantic policemen and detectives find out that he didn't float up, they will definitely come down to look for him. Then, with their help, it won't be difficult to break free. After all, his legs were just stuck, not broken...
…
Above Sawaki Kouhei's head, on top of the restaurant.
In order to create a wider environment, the ceiling of the underwater restaurant is designed to bulge upwards so that seawater cannot enter here.
At this time, except for the unlucky guy whose leg was crushed by the Ferrari, everyone else was lucky enough to float to the surface, grabbing the decorations on the ceiling to stabilize their bodies. They floated in the water, looking back at the sudden explosion in a daze.
——No one would have thought that an attack that started with “shooting Inspector Megure in the stomach with a small crossbow” would develop into such a brutal scene.
"Are you all okay?" Inspector Megure wiped the water off his face anxiously, looked around and counted the number of people.
After counting them all, I found that one was missing.
Inspector Megure frowned and asked, "Why didn't I see Sawaki Kouhei?"
Renko Minoru sneered in fear: "After doing something like that, how could he have the nerve to float with us! But this antisocial bastard murderer probably doesn't have the emotion of 'shame' at all. I think he must have prepared diving equipment in advance and is hiding in a corner, waiting to see us trapped to death!"
"...That's right." Inspector Megure was convinced by him.
After all, it seemed that except for the hidden Sawaki Kouhei, everyone else was unharmed. Sawaki Kouhei didn't show up, probably because he didn't want to show up.
After confirming the safety of the personnel, Inspector Megure thought of another important matter: "What should we do now?"
Just now, when he found that the exits of the underwater restaurant were sealed, he thought things were already very bad. He didn't expect that things would have come to this point.
Jiang Xia sighed: "Since the seawater can pour in, there must be a corresponding gap below. We may be able to leave from there."
The people in this world have special physiques, and the water pressure seems to have its own unique rules. Diving for dozens of meters with bare hands and then quickly surfacing, as long as you can hold your breath, it won't be a big problem.
"That's right." After hearing this, the trapped people regained their focus. "Find the location of the hole and leave as soon as possible!"
While everyone was busy looking for a gap, Jiang Xia floated in the water and secretly hung up.
In the dark water, in a corner that is difficult for human eyes to see clearly, a mass of puppet clay quickly accumulated. Soon, as the mermaid ghost fetus jumped into the clay, a mermaid the size of an adult gradually took shape in the water.
The wild mermaid ghost at that time could drive a puppet and act alone.
But now, after signing the contract, the power is automatically shared. While other ghosts become stronger, the mermaid becomes as weak as other ghost fetuses.
As Jiang Xia's consciousness took over, the "mermaid" moved its tail in the water, as if it had come alive.
It bent down and swam lightly to the bottom of the water. It first came to a piece of rubble, hugged a piece of curtain that was pressed by the stone, and with a force, dragged it out.
Then he grabbed the cloth and swam towards the Ferrari under the water.
…
At this time, Sawaki Kouhei's oxygen had not yet run out, but his mentality was on the verge of collapse.
He raised his head, and vaguely looked at the water in the distance through the vast sea and the car window - except for him, everyone else was floating there safely, occasionally burying their heads underwater to check, but no one paid any attention to him, as if they had completely ignored his existence.
