Seeing Kougami's strange expression, I immediately became alert. In that brief moment, I had felt an overwhelming sense of danger. I had faced countless dangerous situations, and I knew that feeling all too well—there was no mistaking it.
There was only one possibility: Kougami had tried to kill me. I could guess his plan easily; he intended to cut open my diving suit or sever my oxygen hose and then blame it on the sharp-toothed fish. If his plan succeeded, the intense water pressure and lack of oxygen would finish me off in no time.
'Since you're trying to kill me, don't blame me for being ruthless later!'
I stared coldly at him. Initially, I hadn't planned to kill Kougami underwater. I was going to teach him a lesson eventually, but Devil's Lake was far too dangerous for infighting.
