"Botu's" men did not tie or restrain him in any way, they simply threw him and the "traitor" into the aquarium, as if they already knew that they would be unable to resist once they fell into the water.
Fact, it is indeed the case. [Asakawa Rain] could barely maintain his breathing by embodying the helmet part of the "Michelin mascot", but the other unlucky guy didn't even use any of his abilities and kept dancing after falling into the water.
and spit bubbles
But the strange thing is that in this situation where he should have drowned long ago according to common sense, he just struggled there for five or six minutes and was still very energetic. If he didn't have some kind of underwater breathing ability, it would be like this
aquarium water
There's something weird in there.
Speaking of which, did "Botu" previously say that he would throw the two of them into the aquarium to "feed the elephants"? How could that be...
His thoughts were interrupted by what appeared in front of him. It was an elephant about three meters tall, with a very standard size that could be seen in the zoo. It was strolling leisurely in the water, and then seemed to see [Asakawa Rain]
and the traitor, as if very curious
Come over.
It is "walking" rather than "swimming". Its steps and forward movements are no different from walking on the ground, but the water waves surging around it and the schools of fish avoiding it prove that it is indeed underwater.
After the elephant walked up to the "traitor", it first stretched out its trunk to touch him curiously, and then took half a step back as if frightened by its increasingly crazier dancing.
What, although it’s a bit strange for an elephant to be in an aquarium, it’s pretty normal in itself——
The idea of [Asakawa Rain] stopped abruptly here.
He saw that the elephant's two big ears had turned into a pair of huge butterflies at some point, with a yellow background and black edges, mixed with red round spots, opening and closing like real butterfly wings.
.
No, no, even if elephants can dive, it is still impossible for their ears to be butterfly wings. After all, butterfly wings will break if they get wet with water, especially if they are so big.
Moreover, butterflies should be able to fly... eh.
The next moment, as if frightened by the "traitor", the elephant fluttered its butterfly ears and "flyed", circling around him while observing carefully.
Seriously, does flying in the water count as flying?
Don't be afraid, the butterfly-eared elephant is just a human with some superpowers. You can crush him with just one kick!
At this time [Asakawa Rain] even began to cheer for that strange elephant in his heart.
Phew—swipe!
As if it had indeed received encouragement, the elephant circled the "traitor" twice, then swooped close to him and tied him tightly with its long flexible trunk, making it impossible for him to move.
Well……
It wasn't until the "traitor" was tied up that [Asakawa Yu] thought belatedly, did "Botu" mean to throw the two of them into the aquarium to "feed the elephants"?
Come on, elephants are vegetarians. If you have to eat them, can you use a milder form? It’s not a good look for an elephant to eat people until they are bloody and bloody.
"——!"
At this moment, with a scream that was not clear because it was blocked by the water, the tied "traitor" stopped struggling wildly, his hands and feet were completely stiff, and at the same time, an extremely frightened expression appeared on his face. In [
Asakawa Yu] When he was about to observe his situation carefully, the elephant's butterfly ears began to flap rapidly, and snow-white rabbits kept running out of the ears. Most of them ran away without looking back. Only
A few would turn around and look at the elephant and its prey with their blue eyes.
Ah...uh...
Speaking of which, did the seniors of "Hydra" say that he should struggle as much as possible when "stripping off the substitute"? But how should he struggle? Try to pretend to be a transparent person?
Maybe after a few hours, or maybe just a few minutes, the elephant finally finished "eating" and let go of the "traitor".
He still looked alive, but his limbs were stiff and he only trembled occasionally. At the same time, he kept a stiff expression of fright on his face and drifted with the waves in the aquarium.
[Asakawa Yu], who had just finished dressing up as a "stand-in" at the right time, didn't have time to rejoice when she saw the butterfly-eared elephant walking straight towards her.
Isn’t this completely useless!
Humph, forget it, let him see what it is that scares that guy like this.
When the elephant's long trunk rolled over, he thought to himself.
————
After being entangled by the elephant's trunk, [Asakawa Rain] could no longer sense his own body. Instead, there was a "fixed perspective" like a surveillance camera. Within sight, was the deck of a luxury cruise ship
, several tourists in luxurious clothes were tied to one side of the deck railing that was still intact, while the other side was full of water damage, and the railings were also extensively broken, close to the deck.
At the edge, there were two or three small pools of blood that were not very obvious.
What's so scary about this?
If it weren't for the fact that the "viewing angle" couldn't be adjusted, [Asakawa Yu] even planned to turn his head and look around. More than ten seconds later, a group of masked people wearing red ninja uniforms stepped into the screen from outside the "monitoring" field of view.
They completely ignored the kidnapped person who suddenly became excited and started calling for help, and began to clean the deck with the cleaning tools they brought.
Repair railings.
Aren't those the "original" thugs of the Hand? They weren't on an assassination mission but... cleaning?
Keeping the ship clean is more important than rescuing the dignitaries over there - presumably?
In fact, it was indeed more important. These "immortal ninjas" cleaned the deck, repaired the railings, and quickly evacuated. During this period, no one paid attention to the noisy unfortunates.
Although it is strange, there is nothing terrible about the incident itself, and it is even less likely to turn people into "traitors".
Maybe this is some kind of psychological fear? Only those who know the cause and effect will be scared crazy?
[Asakawa Yu] was guessing aimlessly, but found that the "perspective" that had been uncontrollable before began to slowly rotate, focusing on the sky beyond the railing, slightly higher.
So, is there anything strange that the invisible monster is watching here? Even so——
Bang bang bang! Dong Dong Dong!
With a dull knocking sound, the "thing" the camera was "looking at" in mid-air suddenly appeared.
It is an aquarium waterproof wall suspended at a height of about three meters.
It can be clearly seen through its glass curtain wall that a dozen children are noisily banging on the shaking waterproof wall "opposite", completely ignoring the spider web-like cracks that have begun to appear on it.
What's so scary about this? It's just a hallucination, he——
Wow——!
The waterproof wall suddenly shattered, and everything on the side of the curtain wall rushed toward the huge hole that appeared like water.
"——!"
He fainted when he sensed some sudden and unreasonable intense fear.
————
Wow——!
"Hey, wake up, kid." Fan Helsing shook [Asakawa Yu] who he had just broken out of the aquarium and rescued. Seeing that it still didn't respond, he put him down casually, turned around, and faced the crowd who hesitated and didn't dare to go up.
The "Hand Club" thug in front showed the silver between his fingers
