On the beach.

Luo Jun was running forward recklessly, his little heart pounding fiercely, sweat covered his forehead, and his soft hair stuck to it, his small face flushed red.

He was really exhausted. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Seeing the rocks ahead, he stopped, turned around to walk over, and sat down in the shaded area, gasping for breath.

Behind him, there was the faint sound of footsteps.

The little guy worriedly turned his face, cautiously poking his head out to look beyond the rocks, the two men chasing him had already caught up, striding quickly in his direction.

Knowing he couldn’t escape, the little guy quickly glanced around, swiftly stood up, stepping on the rocks, and carefully moved to the side of the rocks facing the sea, pressing his back tightly against the rocks.

"Quick!" the male killer gasped, "He can’t run far, we must find him."

"Why are there no footprints?" the other person puzzled as he followed the footprints on the beach, only to see them vanish by the rocks.

"Check behind the rocks." The male killer leaped onto the rocks.

Hearing the two voices coming to the rocks, Luo Jun slowly squatted down, took a breath, squatted down, and submerged himself entirely in the seawater.

The two men jumped onto the rocks and examined carefully.

Behind the rocks, there was a large shadow, with waves swelling and crashing into the stone surface creating white foam, enveloped in a dark diving suit, huddled in the water, Luo Jun was unnoticed by the two men.

The male killer slightly furrowed his brows, "Logically, such a small child, running here, would have almost exhausted his energy, it’s impossible to have the strength to run forward, and there are no forward footprints on the beach!"

"Could he have walked along the water’s edge, and the footprints got washed away by the waves?!" The companion glanced at the waves on the beach.

Right now, this was the only explanation.

But could a small child be this clever?

The male killer stood on the rocks, once again carefully surveying the area around the rocks, noticed a black shadow under the rocks near the sea, and slightly frowned.

"What’s that?" The companion noticed something on the beach, immediately turned and jumped down, bent down to pick up that thing from the ground.

The male killer turned his face, "What is it?"

"A necklace... a bullet... necklace!" The companion raised the thing in his hand.

The male killer saw the red string in his hand, looked at it closely, and immediately recognized it as something belonging to Luo Jun, "Where did you find it?"

The companion pointed to the direction he found the necklace, "Here!"

Just now, when Luo Jun hurriedly jumped off the rocks, the red string snapped, and the item fell without him noticing.

Seeing the necklace on the beach near the water, the male killer immediately deduced that Luo Jun had indeed escaped along the coast, casually tossing the necklace on the sand, he ran forward with large strides, "Quick, let’s continue searching ahead!"

Under the water.

Luo Jun pinched his nose, closed his eyes, curled up under the water.

The breath he took earlier was long used up, his lungs felt like they were on fire, and his chest was unbearably stuffy.

Yet, he still gritted his teeth and held on, knowing that as soon as he emerged from the water, he would be discovered immediately.

In his ears, there was only the sound of waves crashing against the rocks, and Luo Jun couldn’t hear the two men’s voices at all, nor did he know if they had left.

He just stubbornly huddled underwater, not daring to move.
