S-level high-risk personality, you call this a pitiful thing?

Chapter 79: Dream Core Space 79
Lan Tong used all her strength and even spent some of her mental energy to barely hold Dong Liang. In order to prevent Dong Liang from doing anything bad, she simply conjured up a pair of handcuffs and handcuffed Dong Liang to the handrail next to the stairs.

Dong Liang struggled several times but failed. He was so anxious that he was sweating all over. He grabbed Lan Tong's arm and begged non-stop.

"Miss Police, please let me go! I promise not to cause any trouble! I beg you, I only have this one son! He can't die!"

"not now."

Lan Tong frowned and said this, then walked into the water.

The situation was urgent and she had no time to prepare. She could only bite the bullet and walk down the stairs.

The slightly cool water slowly spread from her ankles to her thighs. The deep part of the pool was still pitch black. She could vaguely see what was happening in the water. It seemed that Dong Qiqi's feet were being pulled by a belt floating up from the darkness.

At this point, Lan Tong couldn't help but start to tremble.

But after walking a few more steps down, when the water reached above her waist, Lan Tong's legs instantly lost strength. The damp water vapor made her brain dizzy, and even the scene in front of her eyes became unreal with the rhythm of the water's rising and falling.

"Waste, I'm here."

Lu Li said, and took over the body directly.

But within a second, the body transformed from a landlubber to a mermaid.

It can be said that the total time it took Lu Li to get to Dong Qiqi's side was many times faster than the time it took Lan Tong to go down the stairs just now.

Lan Tong was finally rescued. She was gasping for breath in a space as if she was dying. At the moment when she almost lost consciousness, several images flashed through her mind inexplicably.

Lu Li replaced her so quickly that she didn't see the content of the pictures clearly.

After all, Lan Tong doesn't think she is afraid of water.

She could take a normal bath and soak in a shallower tub.

But as soon as the water level passed her waist, her legs would unconsciously become weak, especially when the water reached her neck, her body would unconsciously lose the ability to move as if under stress.

Lu Li swam all the way to Dong Qiqi, but she did not choose to let Dong Qiqi support her, because the drowning person was more dangerous than drowning itself.

They were in extreme fear, especially those like Dong Qiqi who couldn't swim. If someone came to help them at the most dangerous moment, they would grab the other person tightly in order to survive, even doing such cruel things as pushing the other person into the water to use the force to float themselves up.

Lu Li dived into the water, took out the suicide's long knife, and prepared to cut the rope that was holding Dong Qiqi's ankle.

But when she saw clearly the strip-like thing on Dong Qiqi's feet, a sense of danger spread throughout her body.

How could this be a rope? It was clearly a very long tentacle!

It looks like an octopus's tentacles with uneven suction cups, but it has a rare blue-white translucent skin. When soaked in water, it blends into the water. If people don't look carefully, they can only see the bright red meat floating in the water, like a red hemp rope.

The end of the tentacle was connected to the endless darkness below the swimming pool, and it was impossible to determine how long the tentacle was!

The seemingly soft boneless limbs are full of strength. Almost all the people entangled by the tentacles are like Dong Qiqi. The source of the tentacles does not seem to want to pull people directly into the deepest part. Instead, it cleverly chooses to let out a long line from time to time and reel it in from time to time, using the kite-flying method to make these entangled people struggle back and forth on the water and in the water.

“Don’t cut it off directly!” Lan Tong finally recovered and said after seeing the situation clearly: “It has more than one tentacle. If you cut it off directly, it will realize the danger! It will extend more tentacles to find you!”

Lu Li held the knife in his hand but couldn't do anything. He was very annoyed: "If I don't cut it now, what if the tentacles pull me down?"

“No.” Lan Tong said solemnly, “It is deliberately using humans to lure more people. Once the tentacles sense that there is another force interfering in the water, the other tentacles will immediately extend out.”

The pulling motion of the tentacles to bind people is the same, which shows that it is deliberately using people to fly kites.

There must be a reason for it doing this, either to consume people's physical strength so that it can eat them more conveniently, or to use these people as bait, taking advantage of the fact that humans will ask for help and be soft-hearted to rescue them, and catch more people.

Lan Tong guessed that it was unlikely that he would consume his physical strength. The water in the pool was more than ten meters deep, and the bottom could not be seen. If a person was pulled into the water for such a long distance, he would have no strength to resist. Then it could only be the latter, using the human instinct to seek help to capture more humans.

The dark bottom of the pool looks like a huge black eye.

At the bottom of the infinite depth, no one dared to believe where it led to and what terrible things were hidden there.

"What should I do?"

Lu Li had been holding her breath for long enough, but due to Lan Tong's words she couldn't do anything with the tentacles and could only float to the surface temporarily.

Just as he splashed out of the water, he heard a few "splash" and "splash" sounds not far away. Someone went into the water to save several other drowning people.

When Lan Tong saw them swimming towards the drowning people, her heart suddenly sank.

"It's over."

Seeing those people getting closer and closer to the drowning person, Lan Tong immediately shouted.

"Don't move Lu Li! Don't move!"

Lu Li floated on the water with a confused look on his face. He didn't move obediently and tried his best to stay quiet in the water.

She felt the drastic change of emotions that came from Lan Tong when he opened his mouth.

The people who went into the water surrounded the two drowning people. They brought swimming rings for the two people to hold on to. One or two of them dived down to see what was holding them.

Lan Tong said: "Hurry up and tell Dong Qiqi to calm down and stop moving. If you want to live, don't move."

Lu Li imitated Lan Tong's words and said to Dong Qiqi: "If you don't want to die, don't move."

Dong Qiqi was young to begin with, and after being attacked by Lu Li so ferociously, the little strength he had was gone in an instant. He burst into tears, and perhaps because of his light weight, his head was able to float on the water effortlessly while he was crying.

"Oh!"

Another splash exploded on the water a few seconds later.

Dong Qiqi was so frightened by the sudden sound that she stopped crying.

Of the two people who dived just now, only one came out of the water.

He screamed "ghost" and started swimming towards the shore, splashing water with his hands.

The other few people who went into the water to rescue people were also frightened and followed without knowing the situation.

Lan Tong knew that it was too late to remind these people. Even if he explained it in a few words, they might not listen, so he simply chose not to say anything.

But before they swam to the shore, there were several consecutive "bang! bang! bang!" sounds of water splashing!
The splashes dissipated and everyone looked again.

There were already few people in the swimming pool! Even the two people who had just drowned disappeared in the splashing water!
The swimming pool, which was bustling just now, now only has Dong Qiqi and Lu Li left.

When Dong Liang saw this scene, he almost had a heart attack and fainted.

Lu Li stared at the water surface where the waves were slowly calming down, and his expression finally became serious.

"Were they pulled in so quickly?"

"Yeah." Lan Tong said, "The purpose of those two drowned people has been achieved, so there is no need for them to stay."
