Chapter 241: Die Together, please vote for me in the reading article ()
In this emergency, Sawaki Kohei almost lost his ability to think: for example, other people were floating next to the emergency lights, but he was in the dim and dark water bottom; for example, the field of vision was completely different when looking from a bright place to a dark place and from a dark place to a bright place.
The dark and depressing underwater environment and the extremely dangerous situation made Sawaki Kouhei's anger and panic gradually reach their peak.
He looked at the people above who were free to move and had plenty of oxygen. His eyes gradually became bloodshot, and the respirator in his mouth creaked. Only one scarlet thought remained in his mind: What a bunch of hypocrites! Usually they acted so righteous, saying that "criminals also have human rights", but when it really came to the critical moment, they completely ignored him, a person who needed help... Are they qualified to be police officers and detectives? !
…
When the mermaid swam silently towards Sawaki Kouhei along the bottom of the water, what she saw was a murderous aura that was much more inflated than before.
Sawaki Kouhei's murderous intent was no longer directed only at Nishina Minoru and Jiang Xia, but included everyone - he hated them for not helping them, and perhaps also felt deep jealousy after comparing the situations of both parties.
Jiang Xia looked at him across the sea for a while, and suddenly realized something. He wagged his tail and quietly increased his speed.
…
Sawaki Kouhei looked up and watched for several minutes, from hope to despair.
This period of time is not actually long. Normally, when playing with a mobile phone or reading a newspaper, it will pass in the blink of an eye. But in this situation surrounded by sea water, every second is stretched to infinity.
Sawaki Kouhei's hands began to tremble. At a certain moment, he suddenly made up his mind, slowly stretched out his hand, and grabbed a remote control from his chest pocket.
The scarlet indicator light on the remote control was still on, and it was not damaged by water.
…
——Of course, there are more bombs in the underwater restaurant than just the one that exploded just now.
In fact, Sawaki Kohei has packed even more: the remote control in his hand, if pressed, is enough to blow down the entire underwater restaurant.
Originally, he planned to wait until he left the bottom of the sea before detonating it.
But now...
Sawaki Kouhei stared at the few people above him who had found the exit and were about to dive out. He spit out bubbles from his mouth and murmured in a gloomy voice filled with hatred: "Let's die together!"
Then he fiercely——
With a scream, he let go.
——A cold hand, at some point, grasped his forearm and tightened it.
Sawaki Kouhei was pinched and shook, half of his arm felt a sharp pain. He was unable to loosen his hand, and the remote control that could instantly change the fate of nine people sank with the waves and was caught by another pale hand.
…
The muffled screams of Sawaki Kohei while he bit the respirator could not penetrate the deep and thick sea water, nor could they be conveyed to the people on the surface of the water.
On top of the restaurant, above the water.
"The gap is in the southwest. The sea water here is not too deep, and only that direction has sunlight seeping in, so it is easy to distinguish."
Jiang Xia quickly switched his consciousness back to his main body, looking as if he had not been idle at all, and said calmly: "We can't just sit there and wait for death - get out immediately while we still have the strength and before the building collapses too badly."
The others nodded solemnly, expressing the same idea.
After nodding, Officer Shiratori remembered something and looked at his old colleague: "Inspector Megure, your stomach is still injured. Don't exert too much force later. I will help you swim out."
Shishido Nagaaki was also startled and looked at Nishina Minoru: "Are you afraid of water? Then follow me for a while."
The group of people divided the work into different groups, and the scene was harmonious and friendly. Then they quickly held their breath and swam towards the gap that had been blown up underwater.
On the way, when Mao Lilan dived to the bottom of the restaurant, she suddenly heard a human voice. She seemed to be aware of something and looked to the side keenly.
I saw a curtain that was stirred up by the turbulent current and pressed down by the Ferrari's tires, stretching out in the water and swaying slowly.
She looked at it with concern for a few seconds, and her thoughts moved slightly.
——The way this soft object expands and contracts with the waves is a bit like dropping a drop of ink into the water and then watching it slowly disperse. It's inexplicably relaxing and makes you want to keep watching and observe its changes... Unfortunately, now is obviously not the time.
Oxygen was running low, so Mao Lilan didn't stay any longer. She took a few final glances at the direction of the curtain, pulled Jiang Xia, who had been idle again, and paddled the sea water to continue swimming towards the gap ahead.
…
After the last person got out of the gap.
Next to the Ferrari, Jiang Xia, who was driving the "Mermaid", gathered the fluttering curtain and pulled it out from the gap between the tires.
He loosened his hand, and the curtain slowly drifted away with the turbulent current under the water.
There is no need to worry about the main body: the mermaid's skill allows people to breathe underwater. Even if the mermaid ghost fetus is not in the main body, the skill can last for 15 minutes.
Considering the difficulty of Mao Lilan swimming out with an extra person, Jiang Xia gave her half the time - seven and a half minutes. Not to mention letting them float to the surface, it was enough even for them to swim back and forth.
Just as he was thinking, a murderous aura suddenly expanded rapidly beside him and hit him. After that, the expanding murderous aura bypassed him and continued to spread.
Jiang Xia was stunned, then happily pushed away the murderous aura in front of him and looked down at Sawaki Kouhei.
The murderer who was stuck at the bottom of the sea was staring in the direction of the gap with bloodshot eyes.
——Sawaki Kouhei originally thought that at least Nishina Minoru, who was afraid of water, would stay and drown with him.
Who would have thought that just now, in the gap when the curtain was rolling up, he actually saw someone pulling Renke Minoru to swim outside - this group of people were willing to take a landlubber who was just giving a random science lecture, but they would not take him, a truly professional wine taster, with them!
Sawaki Kouhei tightly grasped the oxygen tank, not knowing how long it would last. He slowly turned his eyes and looked at the mermaid next to him.
