Chapter 242

Qin dived deep into the sea, and after a long time, he emerged from the sea.

Jiang Si waved his hand: "Come up!"

Qin Shen said: "Right away."

He dived into the sea again.

The azure sea was like beautiful, shimmering silk, but it was far less dazzling than the moment Qin Shen emerged from the water.

Qin Shen's posture of swimming towards her was a little strange. When he swam closer, Jiang Si saw that he had actually found a shell in the sea that was bigger than the ones Zhang Aihua and the others had.

Moreover, this shell is very beautiful, and its appearance shines like a white galaxy.

Maybe there is a pearl that is even bigger than the previous one.

Jiang Si was a little excited, "Did you fish it out specially for me?"

Qin Shen is such a warm-hearted man, she just looked at him a few more times.

Qin Shen nodded, "If there is no pearl, I will go look for it again."

Jiang Si shook his head. "It doesn't matter if there's nothing. This shell is also very beautiful. It can be used to store many things."

But Jiang Si was more concerned about the green seaweed wrapped around Qin Shen's body than the pearls.

In order to preserve the shells intact, Qin Shen also dug a hole and buried the shells like Zhang Aihua and others.

Jiang Si and Qin Shen sat by the side, waiting. Looking out at the sea, they asked, "Are there a lot of seaweed on the seabed?"

Qin Shen nodded: "Yeah, a lot, like a spider web."

This is more serious than imagined. At this growth rate, seaweed will definitely occupy the living space of all creatures in the sea.

Either let it grow and everyone will eat seaweed instead, or find a way to catch it.

At least to prevent the algae from spreading in their area.

This was the only solution they had come up with that seemed feasible.

Jiang Si said, "Let's get the shells back and ask everyone's opinions."

Qin Shen nodded, "Okay."

Suddenly, two small eyes appeared from the hole under my feet.

Jiang Si grabbed it and found it was a big crab of considerable weight.

Jiang Si directly asked Qin Shen to use the power of thunder and lightning to chop the crab.

The crabs with a scorching aroma were extremely tempting. Jiang Si gave half to Qin Shen, and the two of them slowly ate the crabs while looking at the sea view.

Suddenly, someone called out from the front.

Jiang Si and Qin Shen immediately dropped the crab legs and went over to check.

The second brother said, "Xiao Qiu went to the water to fish, and he hasn't come up for a long time."

He hasn't come up for a long time, so he might have met with an accident.

Jiang Sidao: "Don't worry, take a look at the situation first, I'll go call my dad."

At least the body was recovered.

After a while, Jiang Linhai arrived.

He entered the sea and searched the surrounding waters, but couldn't find Xiaoqiu.

But there are no particularly dangerous creatures on the seabed. It is very likely that Xiaoqiu drowned and then drifted away somewhere.

Although Jiang Linhai made such a guess, everyone still had a deep fear of the sea.

They had just arrived when someone died unexpectedly.

However, Jiang Si felt that it might not be that simple.

Jiang Linhai had already searched a large enough area for the body, so how could it disappear for no reason?

It is very likely that someone killed him.

And he is a mutant.

Otherwise, who could do it so stealthily?

But this was just her intuition.

Jiang Si found the second brother and asked, "Was there anyone else who went into the water with Xiaoqiu?"

The second brother was busy catching crabs at the time and didn't pay much attention to it. After thinking for a while, he asked Jiang Si to ask Brother Qiu. At that time, Brother Qiu was closest to the second brother and watched him dive into the water.

Jiang Si found Brother Qiu, who recalled, "At that time, Xiaoqiu went into the water alone, and everyone else was on the shore."

He thought about it carefully again, "Yes, that's right."

Xiaoqiu went into the water alone and disappeared underwater. Jiang Si was still a little suspicious and asked Zhang Aihua: "What special abilities do you all have?"

Zhang Aihua thought for a moment, "I'm actually not too sure what specific abilities everyone possesses. It's possible that everyone has more than just one or two abilities."

"Some people don't usually get the opportunity to show themselves."

"Or maybe he doesn't know it himself."

Jiang Si pondered, "Is there someone with special abilities who can approach without anyone noticing?"

Both Bobby and Niu Niu have the ability to become invisible, but neither of them can kill people.

Zhang Aihua shook her head. "I really don't know about that."

When he thought about it, he found it quite scary. Someone could get close to them without anyone noticing. What if they were suddenly stabbed?

Suddenly, he suddenly realized that Jiang Si might be suspecting that Xiaoqiu's disappearance was not an accident.

If this was committed by a person with super powers, it would be troublesome.

Jiang Si asked again: "Has Xiaoqiu had any conflicts with anyone recently?"

Zhang Aihua thought about it, and just as she was about to shake her head, she nodded suddenly: "There was a person! He had an argument with Xiaoqiu before. It was probably because Xiaoqiu had finally condensed some water, and he wanted to drink more, but ended up being scolded by Xiaoqiu."

Jiang Si immediately asked, "What was his reaction at that time?"

If it was a mutant with strong attack power and bad temper, he would have fought back long ago.

Zhang Aihua shook her head. "He behaved like an ordinary person, angry but without any clue what to do."

Jiang Si thought for a moment, "Who is this person?"

Zhang Aihua glanced over and said, "He's on the beach on the right. He has yellow hair and his name is Jimmy."

Jiang Si nodded, and he and Qin Shen paid attention to Jimmy's reaction. They also asked others where Jimmy was when Xiaoqiu got into trouble.

The second brother said, "He was in the cave at that time. I saw him crawling out of the cave."

Just because he emerged from a hole in the ground doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability to kill people indirectly.

Jiang Si suddenly thought that anyone coming out of the sea would be contaminated with seaweed, and perhaps he could find some signs of it in his cave.

Jiang Si and Qin Shen didn't care that the shells had not been dug out yet, and went straight to where Jimmy was.

Jimmy was a little surprised to see them.

Jiang Si got straight to the point, staring into his eyes and asking, "Excuse me, what special abilities do you have? We sometimes assign tasks based on different special abilities."

Jimmy calmly shook his head, "I don't have any special abilities."

But Jiang Si could feel that he was lying. The calmer his eyes were, the more deliberate his expression seemed.

Jiang Si looked him up and down and found seaweed on his feet and body.

His clothes seemed to have just been changed.

This further indicates that there is a problem.

Jiang Si asked again: "Have you ever been to the sea?"

Under Jiang Si's fixed gaze, Jimmy's expression flashed with panic, "I've been there before, and I even caught a crab."

Jiang Si lowered his eyes and exposed him: "You are lying!"

Jimmy immediately denied it: "I didn't lie."

"Did anyone see you go into the sea?"

Jimmy asked back, "Who else saw me not swimming in the sea? I don't know why you're targeting me. Is it because we have different skin colors?"

He intentionally diverted the conversation to another topic, and also intended to make people of different skin colors dislike Jiang Si and his group.

Jiang Si called the second brother and the others over and asked them one by one: "Did you see him go swimming?"

Everyone shook their heads in denial.

Jiang Si then said to Jimmy, whose expression had clearly turned much uglier, "Although we can't definitively prove whether you went into the sea, some people have witnessed you never leaving the cave. So how did you get into the sea and bring back a pair of seaweed?"

This is all thanks to the lack of water. If there was enough water, he would probably find a place to wash, but his identity would still be exposed.

Jimmy said, "I just accidentally rubbed it somewhere."

Jiang Si smiled and said, "Who can you rub against? Point it out and we can meet face to face. Tell me, what kind of supernatural power do you have that can kill Xiao Qiu from a distance?"

Jimmy's face finally showed obvious anger. "What evidence do you have to prove that I killed someone? Just a little bit of moss. Even if I have supernatural powers, did you see it with your own eyes? I can hide it if I want to. I don't care about your bullshit!"

His anger just confirmed that Xiaoqiu's death was indeed related to him.

Jiang Si nodded. "You have a point. We don't have sufficient evidence, but you did hide your supernatural powers for ill intentions, didn't you? Otherwise, why would there be other people's things in your cave?"

Jimmy watched Dahei take out two watches from the hole.

These are all watches that someone has lost and can’t find.

Once recognized, it was confirmed that Jimmy had the ability to steal things without anyone noticing.

So everyone cast a wary look at Jimmy, and Jimmy's eyes instantly flashed with ferocity. "I said I didn't kill anyone, and I don't know why these things are here. It's obvious that you don't like me and want to drive me away."

Jiang Si frowned, "You make me very unhappy now. I really want to expel you right now, but you have to be responsible for your life."

Jimmy said the same thing: "You have no evidence, and you are trying to find a reason to kill people. What's the difference between that and fascism?"

Jiang Si suddenly remembered and said, "Boer can detect the location of every psychic. He just said that you are indeed a psychic."

"Sirius has a real knack for talking, so let him ask you what's going on."

Jimmy was angry: "No, you don't have that power!"

Jiang Si smiled and said, "You are the biggest suspect now. I hope you will cooperate!"

As soon as Sirius appeared, Jimmy's mood collapsed even more. "Get out! I told you to get out!"

He didn't want to leave here. If he left, he would die of thirst.

Sirius didn't retreat but stepped forward, looking into Jimmy's eyes and said, "Look at me, Jimmy. Tell me, Jimmy, what did you do? Did you kill Xiaoqiu?"

The bewitching voice sounded in his ears, tempting him to tell the true answer in his heart.

Everyone held their breath.

Everything is safe, why does Jimmy want to kill someone?

Xiaoqiu also condensed so much water for everyone to drink, saving everyone's lives.

Jimmy knew Sirius's weakness. As long as he didn't look Sirius in the eye and refused to speak, he would be fine.

He bit his lip and refused to talk, nor did he look Sirius in the eye.

But his behavior has made many people believe that he is a murderer.

This is completely different from being forced to kill for survival.

Everyone angrily asked, "Why did you kill people? Why did you kill people?"

Everyone's questioning disturbed Jimmy's last line of defense. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and used his special power to disappear in front of everyone.

So, Jimmy's special ability is to travel through space.

If he could travel to Xiaoqiu's location, he could kill her without anyone noticing.

Jimmy's special ability is also quite scary, making it very convenient for him to escape and hurt others.

Jiang Si looked at Boll: "Can you find out where he is?"

Bol nodded: "He hasn't gone far."

Qin Shen immediately transformed into his original form and rushed over, but Jimmy was quite confident and disappeared in front of everyone in an instant.

It seems very difficult to catch him.

Jiang Sidao said, "He has no water to drink, so he won't be far away. Let's set a trap and wait for him to fall into it. Everyone should be more careful in daily life."

Everyone secretly regretted not catching Jimmy directly. Now they couldn't even sleep well.

Jimmy only has the ability of teleportation, and his combat ability is weak.

If you want to catch them, you can definitely catch them, especially since everyone is on guard.

Big Black, Big Black, Little Chun and Adai Mao are not vegetarians either.

Jiang Si felt a little relieved, and before it got completely dark, he went to dig out the shells they had buried in the sand.

The shell was dead, with a crack opening.

Qin Shen rummaged around with his hands, and after a while, he opened his palm in front of Jiang Si with a look of surprise in his eyes.

A very large light pink pearl appeared in front of Jiang Si.

It’s actually a fluorescent night pearl.

Jiang Si was shocked. He had always thought that such things only appeared in legends.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shen found one for her personally.

Qin Shen asked: "Do you like it?"

Jiang Si kissed his cheek and said, "I like it. I will enshrine it like a family heirloom."

Qin Shen liked her joke very much, "Then I will find more heirlooms for you."

The shells are also very beautiful. Jiang Si had said before that he wanted to save them for use.

Qin Shen simply removed the shell meat and polished the shell slightly, turning it into a very beautiful and exquisite storage device.

Jiang Si looked at it lovingly and said, "Well done."

Qin Shen said: "Let's go back first."

"good."

When Jiang Si and Qin Shen returned, Shen Baoying had already prepared the meal. She had fried some Japanese knotweed sprouts, grilled fish, stewed fish soup, and made a cold dish of kelp shreds.

Although it was a sumptuous dinner, everyone was not very happy and was worried about Jimmy.

Because of Jimmy, they no longer dared to go out and look for groundwater.

We still have to lure this guy out as soon as possible.

Jiang Si took a sip of the fish soup and said, "Don't worry, he doesn't have water. He will appear in two days at most!"

"Well, I hope we can catch him right away."

Jimmy felt a little regretful after exposing his ability to travel outside the barrier.

If I had known earlier, I would have been more patient with Xiaoqiu and not killed him.

If he hadn't been killed, he wouldn't be outside right now, blowing in the strong wind, eating seaweed, even worse than a street rat.

Especially, he was extremely thirsty.

The more you eat, the saltier your mouth becomes.

He looked at the water source so close to him, knowing that there was danger, but he couldn't help but want to get closer.

Just as he was wandering at the edge of the barrier, Daimao discovered him.
