Chapter 853: 428,

“What’s up with this guy? The host clearly explained the game rules, so why is he just sitting there not moving?”

“Exactly, he was rushing out of that rat-infested room a moment ago, and now he’s suddenly not in a hurry?”

“Come on, I’m getting impatient. If he keeps dawdling, my stingy boss will be here soon; he barely gives me a paycheck of three thousand and deducts a dollar from it.”

“Deducts a dollar from your salary? Whoa, you wouldn’t happen to work for XX Tech, would you? Come to my office later; we should really hash out this dollar issue.”

“Haha, looks like another annual drama is about to take the stage. Make sure to live-stream it for us to see.”

“Stop with the chit-chat, look, that guy’s getting up!”

The live stream showed David finally standing up after resting for about a minute, quickly climbing up to the top of the water tank using a ladder.

“Remember, this minute of rest won’t really restore your stamina much, so when you go down later, you must get the antidote and the key as fast as you can, then get out quickly. After all, we have no idea what kind of traps the Dark Law Enforcer might have set in this water tank.”

Just as David was about to jump down from the tank’s top entrance, Jack, who was right behind him, grabbed him and carefully reminded him.

David didn’t respond, just nodded silently, and then jumped into the tank without hesitation.

Plop!

David instantly sank to the bottom of the tank. He quickly adjusted his posture, head down, and swam rapidly towards the bottom.

As he reached out for the antidote on both sides at the tank’s bottom, the connection between the tank and another two metal boxes suddenly opened.

Swarms of palm-sized, sharp-toothed fish swam from the connection. Following them was a giant octopus as large as half a person!

Seeing this, the viewers in the live stream were dumbfounded, their jaws practically dropping, as the comment section flooded the screen.

“Oh my God! This is just ridiculous! Where did the host get piranhas?!”

“Yeah, those are piranhas! Even though they’re palm-sized, getting bitten by one must hurt like hell.”

“What’s the big deal about piranhas? I want to know what’s up with the octopus; why aren’t the piranhas attacking it?”

“Could it be the kind of octopus from those legendary deep-sea overlords? Otherwise, why wouldn’t even the ultra-aggressive piranhas dare to bite it?”

“An octopus? That’s nothing. You didn’t see those electric eels behind it, did you? Once those eels launch their electric attack, those piranhas and octopus are done for!”

“Gosh, hearing you guys talk, I thought piranhas were incredible. Turns out they’re just the opening act here!”

“Now there’s a show worth watching. I thought the host was going to let these villains off this time, but no, they had another trick up their sleeve. Impressive!”

“I’m starting to feel sorry for David in that tank. With so many terrifying creatures, it’s incredibly hard for him to make it out alive!”

Seeing these creatures appear in the tank, viewers praised the host’s arrangement of the setup, while the atmosphere in the special task force office was extremely tense.

“Team leader, I’ve contacted the city bureau. They said they would get in touch with David immediately, asking him to come over as soon as possible,” Hu Xiang reported behind Tom after putting away his phone.

Tom nodded slightly upon hearing this, eyes still fixed on the live stream displayed on the large screen.

When he saw the aquatic creatures in the tank, an almost imperceptible glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes before he regained his composure, calmly ordering, “Hu Xiang, check where so many dangerous species came from. Start by asking around at customs.”

However, Hu Xiang had a different idea. Frowning, he said, “Old Tom, at this point, those people in the tank are probably done for. Why bother with them? We’d be better off focusing all our efforts on Jack.”

“Hu!” Tom turned and shot Hu Xiang a stern look, seriously said, “As an experienced senior detective, watch your words and attitude!”

After speaking, Tom turned his gaze back to the big screen.

In the live stream, piranhas swam in from the channel, opening their mouths to reveal sharp teeth, lashing their tails angrily as they bit towards David.

Gululu

David only felt a burst of sharp pain in his leg, his tightly closed mouth involuntarily opened, releasing a stream of bubbles.

Turning his head, he saw his legs covered with piranhas, continuously biting chunks of flesh off his legs.

Seeing this, David hurriedly kicked his legs to shake off the piranhas’ bites.

However, from the metal boxes on both sides, god knows how many more piranhas were released. Just as he shook off one group, another group pounced.

Soon, he was surrounded densely with piranhas, and the situation became increasingly dire.

Soon, David was surrounded by a dense swarm of piranhas.
