Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

The Death Note can control the deceased to perform a certain action at a specific time, but if no time is set, the deceased will perform the corresponding action according to the records in the note in the appropriate context.

Lin Jiashu smiled and bent down to pick up the gun that Matsumoto Mitsuji had never let go of until his death.

"Mr. Lin! Are you alright?!"

"Ah, I'm fine, Mr. Iwanaga."

Lin Jiashu looked at the man running towards her carrying a rifle and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"wait for me?"

Shiro Iwanaga, the head of the tourism section of the Shinjima Island Tourism Division, looked astonished.

Chapter 339: Guarantee for Escape

In the cave where the campfire flickered, listening to the wails of Izuyama Taro lying there, Ran and Sonoko exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.

We can't just stay here and do nothing.

Ran wiped the blood off her face and walked toward Izuyama Taro, who was lying there.

"Feel sorry……"

She apologized and then began searching the other person.

If Matsumoto Mitsuji was carrying a gun, then there's no reason why his companion, Izuyama Taro, wouldn't be carrying one as well.

After searching him for a while, Xiaolan actually found the same gun on him as Matsumoto Mitsuji.

"Is everything alright, Xiaolan?"

"Hmm... Although I'm not confident either, we can't let Yoshiki-san take the risks for us."

Xiaolan herself wasn't confident either.

She didn't even know if secretly following him with a gun would actually do Jia Shu a disservice, but she was genuinely worried that something might happen to him.

No matter what happens, it's always Yoshiki protecting her, and he's always the one making sacrifices. Xiaolan doesn't want things to be like that.

Seeing her best friend's determined look, Sonoko nodded.

Before the two left the deck, Ran glanced at Izuyama Taro lying there one last time.

"Please hold on a little longer... rescue will be here soon."

"Let's hurry, Xiaolan."

The two quickly disembarked.

However, just as they were about to look for the passage that Lin Jiashu had just taken, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from that direction.

Under their tense gazes, it was Lin Jiashu who returned.

Behind him followed Iwanaga Shiroji, who was carrying a rifle.

"Jia Shu-ge!?" "Jia Shu-ge, are you alright!!"

The two girls' faces instantly lit up with surprise.

Lin Jiashu was also surprised when he saw them: "You two...?"

"Ran and I found a gun on that guy, and we were just about to follow him out to help you, Yoshiki-nii!" Sonoko said with a happy expression.

Xiaolan pursed her thin, cherry-red lips and remained silent.

She looked at Lin Jiashu's face, seemingly worried that he would be angry.

But Lin Jiashu did not.

He simply looked over with a very gentle gaze.

"It seems I stole your opportunity. I arrived just in time to see Mr. Lin being held hostage, and in a moment of panic, I fired my gun and hit the wanted criminal."

Iwanaga Shiro had an innocent-looking smile on his face.

However, this was all a disguise.

As the head of the tourism department on Kami-jima Island, Iwanaga Shiroji has a strong desire to possess the island's treasure. Since he can't solve the treasure's code himself, he simply turns the puzzle into a treasure hunt game on the island, hoping that the tourists can help him solve it. At the same time, in order to track the movements of the people participating in the game, he also secretly installed GPS devices on the bicycles rented on the island.

The person who tampered with the diving suits of Matsumoto Mitsuji's companions and ambushed them with a rifle was none other than Iwanaga Shiroji.

Lin Jiashu did not expose his thoughts.

Because the other person's name had already been written in his Death Note—he was even the guarantee that everyone would be able to escape safely.

"It's a bit dangerous to stay here, let's get out of here quickly."

Lin Jiashu said.

Iwanaga Shiro had a different idea.

He looked at the ship, but what he was thinking was the same thing as Matsumoto Mitsuji and the others—he fantasized that the ship was full of gold and silver treasures, and if he wanted to get his hands on these things, he would have to secretly get rid of Hayashi Yoshiki and the others.

But they now have two guns.

"Yes, we need to hurry—"

Sonoko echoed Hayashi Yoshiki's words, but before she could finish speaking, the entire cavern suddenly began to shake.

Rumble! ...

The violent shaking startled the people present, and as they instinctively looked up, they saw that rocks were suddenly falling from the high cave ceiling.

"earthquake!?"

The next second, the rock strata in the cave suddenly broke apart, and a large amount of seawater rushed into the cave with a roar like a flood.

A large amount of seawater suddenly rushed into the dry cave.

To make matters worse, a huge boulder fell from the cave ceiling and landed right at the entrance to the passage, blocking their escape route.

"How could this be—!"

"There's gas! Get on that ship quickly!"

Lin Jiashu spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, the others, who were completely disoriented, immediately ran towards the steps to escape to the deck of the sailboat, while the seawater that had flooded into the cave followed closely behind them and quickly reached the steps.

The earthquake had subsided.

But the speed at which the seawater rushed in was terrifying; in no time, the entire sailboat began to float.

The worst part is that the rock strata at the top of the cave are sealed off. Once the seawater that floods in pushes the boat to the top and there is nowhere for it to float, Lin Jiashu and his companions will drown there.

Standing on the deck, Lin Jiashu looked up at the enclosed cave ceiling.

The gas leaking from the cave is methane. Although it is not visible, it is undoubtedly concentrated at the top of the cave.

The rock formations could be destroyed simply by igniting the methane and creating a massive explosion—it was all calculated.

After explaining the escape plan, Lin Jiashu added, "But the gas explosion will consume all the oxygen in the surrounding area, so be careful... Ran, you guys should use the portable oxygen tank that Professor Agasa made."

Hayashi Yoshiki would naturally acquire the essential tools for their escape.

But there are still only two.

"What about Brother Jiashu?"

“Matsumoto and the others left an oxygen cylinder, so I can share one with Mr. Iwanaga.”

"……OK."

Hearing that Lin Jiashu had indeed made arrangements and had not forgotten him, Xiaolan felt relieved.

To avoid being hit by falling rocks after the rock layer was blown up, Hayashi Yoshiki instructed them to go into the cabin first. Even Iwanaga Shiro, who was covered in blood, was carried in by Hayashi Yoshiki – after all, this was a tool Hayashi Yoshiki used to ensure safety.

As for how to detonate the gas...

Lin Jiashu took the pistol from Xiaolan, while Iwanaga Shiro also came out carrying the old-fashioned rifle.

As the seawater flowing into the cave lifted the boat higher and higher, and it reached a suitable position, Iwanaga Shiro, under Hayashi Yoshiki's command, picked up his gun, swallowed hard, and pulled the trigger.

boom!boom!

Two bullets were fired, but there was no response.

But Lin Jiashu was not discouraged.

After firing a few more shots, finally, one of the bullets fired by Iwanaga Shiroji had an effect. The sparks and intense heat from the bullet ignited the methane that had accumulated on the cave ceiling, causing a violent explosion.

boom!!!!!!!!!

Amidst the flames, the rock strata shattered, and the surging seawater carried massive rocks crashing down.

Iwanaga Shiro let out a terrified scream and frantically turned to flee into the cabin.

Lin Jiashu also set off quickly.

The falling boulder smashed the sailboat's mast with tremendous force, and as the seawater surged down like a waterfall, the large ship, bearing the impact, tilted violently and almost capsized.

The cabin door was easily breached by the seawater at that moment, and the rushing seawater almost washed the entire ship apart. In the dizzying shaking, Xiaolan and Sonoko felt as if they were being swept into a whirlpool.

Unable to move, unable to see anything.

Only the portable oxygen cylinder, held tightly in their mouths, steadily delivered oxygen for them to breathe.

But just then, Xiaolan suddenly spotted Lin Jiashu.

Jia Shu Ge... it seems he didn't use the oxygen tank?

Terrified, she gritted her teeth and struggled to swim towards Lin Jiashu.

Glug glug—

After grabbing Lin Jiashu's hand and pulling herself closer, she removed the oxygen cylinder from her mouth without hesitation.

Chapter 340: How embarrassing is it to focus only on the result and ignore the process?

At dusk, the sea near Laiqin Island suddenly began to surge violently.

Like a leaping whale, the bow of a large sailboat broke through the sea first, leaping onto the surface and rocking violently.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Coughing and the muffled sounds of choking on water filled the cabin.

Iwanaga Shiro, who was dazed and confused after being thrown around while holding an oxygen tank, rushed out. He even tripped and rolled on the ground a few times in a disheveled state.

But when he saw the red sun on the distant horizon from the deck, he was overjoyed.

Although we didn't get the treasure, at least we survived.

"Xiao Lan! Jia Shu! How are you?"

"I'm fine..."

Even though Lin Jiashu was thrown around in the water and was completely disoriented, he struggled to his feet and responded to Sonoko's words, while holding onto Ran's hand tightly with his other hand.

Xiaolan kept her eyes closed and did not respond.

"Xiao Lan...? Xiao Lan!?"

Sonoko, noticing this, was taken aback, then rushed over anxiously.

Lin Jiashu's expression also changed slightly.

He removed the portable oxygen cylinder from his mouth and subconsciously looked around.

Izuyama Taro, who had been stabbed several times and was bleeding profusely, was also in the cabin, but he had already lost consciousness and was now breathing more gasp than he was breathing.

Upon realizing this, Lin Jiashu felt immediately at ease.

After checking and finding that she was only unconscious, Lin Jiashu immediately pressed down on Xiaolan's forehead with one hand and lifted her chin with the other to open her airway. Without hesitation, he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers.

The standard first aid procedure for a drowning victim who has lost consciousness is 2 rescue breaths and 30 chest compressions.

After failing to breathe into the girl's lungs, Lin Jiashu immediately sat up, placed his hands together, and pressed down on Xiaolan's chest with his palms.

Sonoko watched worriedly from the side.

"Xiao Lan..."

Lin Jiashu carried out the rescue operation in a standard manner.

Based on the chest compressions, Xiaolan probably didn't choke on much water, but was simply suffering from oxygen deprivation... Lin Jiashu bent down again and pressed his lips to hers to begin breathing.

In a daze, Xiaolan felt a little pain as her chest was being pressed hard, and she had a strong urge to cough.
