I wondered at the time, and He Xin seemed to have suddenly noticed my direction, giving me a wink and saying, "How is it? This pink one looks good, right!"
"Cough, cough, hurry up, we still need to save people!"
"Alright, let's go out now!" He Xin, wearing a pink lace slip swimsuit, swayed her delicate body towards me. At that moment, I felt like my nose was about to bleed.
Of course, I held back. I'm her father, this would be too embarrassing.
Walking out of the changing room, seeing that we were all in swimsuits, Zheng Ni seemed very excited for some reason: "Good, it seems these swimsuits suit you well! Next, I'm going to tell you the rules of this place's game. Don't worry, I won't let you swim. In fact, the reason I had you change clothes is for the game that's about to happen. There are four large swimming pools in the hall, and one of them hides a green gem. Oh, by the way, this thing should be very commemorative, Detective He, you know what I'm talking about, right?"
A green gem? Could she be referring to that family heirloom?
It was only then that I remembered, after my gun and police badge were taken away, that thing also disappeared: "You scoundrel, what do you want? Do you think you can threaten me with this gem?"
"No, I just think it's quite interesting. After all, it's your He family's treasure, and it also represents a story. The day your father proposed to you, a murder occurred in the square. He Guanghui was able to suddenly postpone the proposal at such a time, he's too dedicated, huh, I'm actually praising such a person. Alright, the timer has started!"
As soon as Zheng Ni finished speaking, something suddenly flashed in my mind. But when I heard the 30-minute countdown, I didn't have time to think further. He Xin and I jumped directly into two of the swimming pools. We planned to act separately, as there were four swimming pools and the area was so large, if we acted together with only 30 minutes, it would definitely not be enough.
In the swimming pool on the left, I dived underwater and began to search. My vision was greatly hindered in the water. Without goggles, I could only look for a short while before surfacing again, otherwise my eyes would surely not be able to bear it. Those who swim often should understand.
Even this back-and-forth would take a lot of time, and we still had to find a green gem the size of an adult's fist. How easy was that?
I swam in the water and reached the middle of the bottom. I didn't realize until I came here that there were many rag dolls and some building blocks at the bottom of the water. This must have been deliberately thrown into the water by Zheng Ni to confuse us. It was already difficult to find the green gem when there was nothing, let alone to screen out the green gem from so many items. It could only be left to luck.
After all, the gem had a characteristic: it emitted a yellowish glow like a firefly, mixed with streaks of emerald green. If I squinted, I could still see it. However, that was outside. In the water, I couldn't be sure if I could find it.
I swam from the middle of the swimming pool to the edge again, but this did not mean I had searched the entire swimming pool. There seemed to be a more vast space opposite. I was still searching when Zheng Ni's voice came again. Although it was separated by water, her voice still entered my eardrums smoothly.
"Detective He, it seems there's no fun in just letting you search like this. Now I'm going to add some excitement for you. Look behind you! Release the dogs!"
I originally thought she was really going to let dogs loose on us. However, I saw several cracks suddenly open in the wall opposite the swimming pool, and what swam out were actually several sharks!!
Although the sharks were not very large, they almost occupied the entire swimming pool. It would be difficult for me to escape in this situation, and I still had to find the green gem.
Damn it, I knew Zheng Ni wouldn't let us pass so easily, and it was these sharks that reminded me of something.
Could it be......
No wonder this guy wanted to deal with me in the same way. Now I finally understood.
Just as the sharks were about to reach me, I swam hard to the left and right. However, the sharks were very fast, and their teeth were extremely sharp. Every time they opened their mouths, an extremely foul odor swept over, almost suffocating me. Through their teeth, I could see a lot of residual flesh and blood. Judging by the freshness, these sharks had been feeding for some time, and were probably hungry again now. At this time, sharks would definitely be more frantic.
However, I noticed that there seemed to be a few that hadn't eaten for a long time, because their teeth were exceptionally clean and the greed in their eyes was even more intense. Among those sharks, they were also the fastest. Almost every time they swam over, they opened their mouths and bit my body. If it weren't for my good swimming skills, I would have been swallowed whole by them by now and begun to be digested by their stomach acid.
I dodged several times, no longer in the mood to search for any green gem. Even if the ground were covered in gold, I wouldn't have the mind to search for it. When I finally reached the edge of the swimming pool on the other side and held on tightly, I climbed up. The sharks gnawed a few times at my back. Although they missed, they still glared fiercely at me in the water with those terrifying eyes.
But I wasn't going down again, wondering how I could deal with these sharks.
At this moment, He Xin let out a terrified scream. I quickly looked over and saw that she was being chased by several sharks. I quickly swam to the edge of her swimming pool and reached out to help. Soon, He Xin noticed me and swam towards me!
"Help! Dad! Your daughter is going to die! I don't want to become fish bait!"
He Xin swam towards me frantically, using her hands and feet. Several sharks were constantly biting around her body. Every time He Xin was almost swallowed, my back would turn cold. However, in the next second, a shark suddenly surged from behind her, opening its bloody maw. He Xin let out a scream and disappeared!
"He Xin!!!!"
I almost shouted my throat raw and instantly arrived at the place where she disappeared. For some reason, there was suddenly a gun here. I suddenly remembered, this was brought by He Xin!
