Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 855: 429, Tom in Water

“Alas, I thought someone might escape the traps set by the host today, but in the end, his own greed ruined him!”

“Upstairs, you’re overthinking. Even if they pass this stage, who can guarantee there won’t be another one afterward?”

“Exactly, there were twenty people at first, and it’s only the third stage and so few are left. With this motley crew, they wish to escape the traps set by the host?”

“Xiaoxiao Xiaoxiao Bird rewarded the host with 33 rockets — Begging the host to take me as a disciple; I want to learn how to set traps from you.”

“Wow! Kid, I advise you to give up this thought, be careful or someone might come after you!”

“My goodness, young people today want to learn everything, so unrealistic!”

As the saying goes, those involved lose clarity while bystanders see clearly. To Tom, he still had a chance to get the antidote, but in the live stream viewers’ eyes, Tom’s actions were simply courting death!

Tom slowly reached out his hand, gently gripping the two antidotes in David’s hand, trying to pull them out.

Perhaps because he was bitten by an electric eel earlier, or perhaps because Tom’s hand touched the sensitive nerves of the piranhas.

The piranhas which were originally biting David suddenly let go and turned towards Tom.

Tom could even see remnants of flesh and red liquid on the mouths of the piranhas.

Seeing this, he forgot about the antidote and immediately loosened his grip, wanting to swim upwards.

But after all, Tom was just a normal person; how could he compete with the speed of the piranhas? After swimming just a couple of times, the group of piranhas had already bitten his leg.

Seeing this, Jack internally cursed “idiot” and quickly rushed to the water tank opening, loudly shouting to Tom, “Forget about everything else, quick! Swim up and grab my hand!”

Upon hearing Jack’s voice, Tom finally came to his senses and used all his strength to swim towards Jack.

Due to the water tank not being very high, within seconds, Tom reached the surface, reaching out to tightly grab Jack’s extended arm.

However, at that moment, a strong tingling sensation spread through Tom’s hand, instantly coursing through Jack’s entire body.

Holding Tom’s hand, Jack’s vision went black, and he almost fell from the top of the water tank.

Luckily, the current came quickly and dissipated quickly, and in just an instant, everything returned to normal.

Looking at Tom, still halfway in the water, he was already electrocuted to the point his eyes turned white, and the key tightly held in his other hand nearly fell back into the tank.

Seeing this, Jack’s heart tightened. That key was arduously retrieved from the bottom of the tank, and if it fell back again, they would only face certain death.

Thinking of this, Jack ignored his still slightly numb body and exerted all his strength, trying to pull Tom up.

However, many piranhas and the remaining electric eels had quickly swum over.

Seeing the dark mass under the water, Jack suddenly changed his mind.

Seizing a moment when Tom wasn’t paying attention, he snatched the key from Tom’s hand and let go.

“What the hell is Jack doing?! Why did he suddenly let go?”

“Didn’t you see the remaining electric eels swimming over? If he didn’t let go, he’d probably be electrocuted. Plus, he’s standing at the water tank’s entrance; if he faints, he’ll definitely fall into the tank and be eaten up by the piranhas!”

“Yeah, but Jack is too ruthless. That was his brother following him all along, and he could be so decisive in abandoning him.”

“Jack is truly talented, smart, and adaptable with strong decisiveness. Such a person can excel in any industry, but unfortunately, he hasn’t applied these skills on the right path.”

“Everyone chooses their own road. He didn’t want to tread the right path; ending up like this is beyond anyone’s help.”

The live stream viewers saw this and gained a new understanding of Jack, lamenting how such talent chooses a life of crime—what a pity.

At this moment, Tom’s panicked and confused voice rang out in the live stream, “Boss, what are you doing? Pull me up!”

However, just after Tom spoke, the piranhas and electric eels had already swum up beneath him.

“Ah!!!”

Yet before Jack could respond, Tom let out a painful scream, his body convulsing atop the water.

There were only twenty seconds left, and Jack couldn’t be bothered to say anything more to Tom, holding the key, he ran down the steps and towards the iron door on the other side of the room.

Seeing Jack leave, even if Tom were duller, he realized that Jack had abandoned him.

Just as Jack was about to cross the iron door, Tom’s resentful roar came over:

“Jack! Even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you go!!!”

Upon hearing this, Jack merely glanced back indifferently.

Tom was enveloped by a dense swarm of fish, chunks of flesh falling from the swarm, and blood quickly turning the entire water tank red.

Unlike those mutated mice, which consume human flesh directly, piranhas do not; they tear off chunks of flesh first and only when the person is reduced to bare bones do they begin their feast.
