Chapter 1351 1359 [Mermaid vs Kidd] Ask for monthly votesヽ(〃〃)~

Kidd then continued with the previous topic, "I remember that among the luggage that Grandpa Terai brought today, there was a coat that was prepared for me in case I fell into the water..."

He searched for a while and actually found one from the travel bag on the ship.

Just as he was about to turn around and hand it to the life-saving demon, but when he saw the huge pair of wings behind Mist Tengu, Kidd paused: "..." It seems that I can't put it on.

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but become curious, and his eyes fell on Kiri Tengu's complex and solemn robes: "Is this outfit custom-made? Or is it directly conjured up like the monsters on TV?"

The curiosity of the middle school boy was too strong. As a mature psychic, Jiang Xia didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Compared to this, he is actually more concerned about something else now.

Jiang Xia turned his attention away from Skoubing and looked at Kidd's empty hands. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong: "Where are the things you brought out?"

"..." Kidd froze, raised his hand and pointed to the sky, "Ahem, I didn't hold it firmly just now, and the 'Egg of Memories' fell into the water."

As soon as he finished speaking, there seemed to be a slight chill in the surroundings, and Mist Tengu's eyes became grim.

Kidd thought of Mist Tengu's amazing slap just now: "..." No, is it my fault that I didn't hold it firmly?

But on second thought, Mist Tengu was also trying to help him dodge bullets. Maybe Brother Youkai forgot to control his strength in an emergency...

Thinking of this, Kidd couldn't help but feel guilty. He sighed and muttered, "I don't know if it's broken after falling from such a high place. But I think the box is quite high-tech, so it should be very protective. And it fell into the water, so maybe it can be saved. I'll ask Grandpa Terai to help fish it out."

After a pause, he added cautiously, "But if someone else sees me fall into the river, the police might come to rescue me or look for the Memory Egg. In that case, it might not be possible to salvage it successfully."

Jiang Xia looked at this unreliable thief. At this moment, his peripheral vision suddenly moved:

The mermaid ghost fetus who had just returned, heard these words, and seemed to realize that it was her time to take the stage again. She wagged her tail and proudly floated past Jiang Xia.

Finding that Jiang Xia didn't react, she turned her head and floated again. This time, when she passed in front of Jiang Xia, the mermaid flicked her flying hair, trying to show her presence.

"..." Although I know that she just wants to play in the river at public expense, I really need this swimming athlete now.

Jiang Xia quietly scattered some puppet clay, allowing them to reshape in the water, and then threw the mermaid ghost fetus in.

As the ghosts consume more energy cores, their strength has increased. Jiang Xia no longer needs to drive all the puppets himself, as the ghosts can drive them themselves.

In the dark river, a mermaid quickly appeared from nothing. Then she silently dived into the water and swam directly towards the breath of the energy core.

…

On the boat, Jiang Xia interrupted Kidd who was about to contact Terai Huang Zhisuke and said, "No need, I'll go find a friend to help me."

Kidd was startled, and turned his head to look at the vast water surface and the endless river. He felt that Kiri Tengu seemed to have some misunderstandings about his "friend": "No matter how good Jiang Xia's relationship with the police is, he can't command the police to help us recover the stolen goods - he looks like a good partner of justice in front of those people, but I'm afraid he can't help."

Kiri Tengu glanced at him, seemingly wondering what this had to do with "Jiang Xia".

After a moment, he added: "Other friends."

Kidd: “……?”

There are other friends?

You don’t look like a sociable monster! ...Did you make friends with him in that circus again? What kind of troupe is that? He also wants to go and see...

Just as I was thinking about it, there were suddenly "dong" and "dong" knocking sounds coming from the side of the ship.

Kidd was startled and looked in the direction of the sound, and found that it seemed like someone was knocking on the boat from outside.

...Is there someone in the river?

Kidd was initially worried that it was a passerby who had fallen into the water, but he soon felt something was wrong.

——Who can be a decent person floating in the river late at night?

Compared to “people”…

He quickly remembered the "friend" that Kiri Tengu mentioned, and when he connected it with the characteristic of "monster", a picture quickly emerged in his mind.

——A bald kappa with green skin, a bird's beak and a plate on his head was holding the "Egg of Memories" he had just fished out, intending to hand it to Mist Tengu.

The instinctive fear of unknown creatures and the curiosity about monsters briefly fought in the thief's heart, but the winner was soon decided.

Kidd: "..." Mist Tengu is still beside him, and his monster friend will probably give him some respect...

Thinking of this, curiosity finally took over and he quickly stuck his head out and took a look outside.

Then he was stunned.

——It was completely different from the strange kappa he had imagined. There was actually a person in the water.

And she looks like a very beautiful woman.

The woman was floating on the water, her long hair flowing. When she looked up, the lights in the distance were reflected in her crystal eyes. Combined with her overly delicate facial features, she looked like a creature from a fairy tale.

Seeing Kidd sticking his head out, she looked at him for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking about. Her expression became a little friendlier and she smiled at him faintly.

"!"

Kidd's face turned red unconsciously, and he subconsciously raised his hand to tidy up his hair that had just been messed up by the wind - why didn't Kiri Tengu tell him earlier that his friend was such a beautiful lady! He had experienced too many accidents tonight, and his image was really not good. If he had known this...

Kidd quickly retracted his head and, under Jiang Xia's puzzled gaze, quickly combed his hair into a handsome style.

Then he poked his head out again.

Jiang Xia was watching this scene, and suddenly he thought of something.

——He remembered that Kidd seemed to be very afraid of fish. He hated fish in the same way, whether they were raw or cooked, big or small.

Even if the colorful braised fish on the table was placed in front of Kidd, he would not have the slightest appetite, he would just feel like there was a giant cockroach lying across his plate. And if a fish was thrown at him, Kidd would feel like he was covered in bugs, and his proud ability to control his facial expressions would collapse.

Jiang Xia: “…”Mermaid…seems to be half fish?

…

Next to him, Kidd is clueless about the mysterious creature in the water.

After he stuck his head out again, he gentlemanly extended his hand to the friend of his monster friend who helped to retrieve the "Egg of Memories" and said in a friendly manner: "Thank you, I'll pull you up."

Jiang Xia hesitated to speak: "That..."

However, Kidd and the mermaid were more capable than he thought.

Before he opened his mouth, the mermaid had already happily touched the energy core supply machine on the ship. The next second, Kidd exerted a little force, and the mermaid broke through the water with a splash.
