At the same time, Kise and Midorima also joined the group chat.
According to Akashi's request, they found a place where they would definitely not be monitored, and entered the video conference with serious expressions.
Everything seemed perfect until they saw Saiki breathing underwater without any equipment, and their expressions suddenly cracked.
Although they had long accepted the concept of people with super powers, they really didn't expect that Saiki could breathe water.
Could it be that it has become so powerful?
What is it that she can't do?
These two questions echoed in Kise and Midorima's minds.
Compared to Kise who was just complaining in his heart, Midorima was more rude. He pushed his glasses up, looked at Saiki sharply, and said his request word by word: "Excuse me, can you please let me dissect it?"
His tone was serious, and his eyes were filled with unprecedented anticipation.
He really wanted to know if Saiki, who could breathe underwater, had gills, or if he was a mermaid or some other species.
Saiki: ...Are you looking for trouble? Brat.
Kise: ...
Akashi:?
The way Akashi looked at Midorima definitely didn't look like he was looking at a normal person.
Huang Lai had already put on a desperate face. He thought that if Xiao Qimu wanted to take Xiao Lujian to some unknown planet, it would probably only take a few minutes.
I don’t know if it’s too late to buy coffee jelly now.
"...I should have clearly told you not to experiment on your teammates, Shintaro."
After saying that, Akashi didn't intend to argue with them anymore. He pointed at the huge corpse next to Saiki and said, "Can you tell how it died?"
Midorima: ...
He raised his eyes, his eyes filled with unprecedented speechlessness.
"I'm a forensic doctor, not a wishing-well bastard."
The implication is that Qi Mu has the ability of X-ray vision, which is almost beyond belief, but he does not have the ability to see the corpse through the screen from such a distance. He can neither touch nor dissect it, so forgive him for not being able to do it.
Akashi: ...
He sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.
That’s true, after all, not everyone is called Saiki Kusuo.
So he turned his gaze to Saiki, his eyes questioning: "Do you need me to send Shintaro and the others to support you?"
Although he was asking questions, he had already made a decision in his heart. After all, they had to be responsible for the aftermath, and he would send Midorima to the scene to take a look no matter what.
But for some reason, after saying this, Qi Mu rarely refuted them.
Because just now, by touching the tentacle monster's corpse, he already knew the whole process of the incident.
It would be better to let Midorima come and see this matter in person.
Anyway, he was sure there was nothing bigger nearby.
Midorima packed his things almost immediately and waited for Saiki to pick him up.
As a member of Shutoku, he certainly can't be gone for a day, so Saiki's ability is particularly useful at this time.
As for avoiding suspicion?
No one here cares about such old-fashioned things anymore.
After all, if you dare to say that you can beat a person with super powers, you can just give it a try.
Kise was quite envious of Midorima's decision to go to the sea. Compared to Shutoku's treatment of Midorima, it was extremely difficult for them to go to the sea.
He dared to swear that as soon as he left, if a senior came to look for him and didn't see him, he would be doomed!
Sometimes it’s a hassle when seniors watch you too closely!
So he chose to log off at the same time as Akashi. After all, he was no longer needed to do anything.
Saiki was very fast and in just three minutes he managed to get Midorima, wearing a diving suit, to appear next to the corpse.
He lay calmly on the ground, enjoying the moment of tranquility brought to him by the ocean.
Actually, he doesn't hate the sea. Sometimes when he is bored and has nothing to do, he will lie here quietly to rest.
Midorima standing next to him was obviously not as relaxed as him. She was wearing a bulky diving suit and looked carefully at the corpse again and again, frowning from time to time and muttering to herself.
"Why is this happening?"
"How strange."
"What on earth happened?"
Saiki was not surprised by his attitude. As the only one who knew the truth, he even expressed sympathy for Midorima.
After all, not everyone can believe the reason this time.
Midorima checked very carefully and did not leave the seabed and return to the shore until his oxygen was almost exhausted.
But the first thing he did when he got ashore was not to rest, but to stand next to the super-powered person who had also come ashore with a complicated expression.
"Did you know from the beginning that this was the reason?"
No, to be precise, I just knew it a little earlier than you.
Seeing that Qi Mu didn't answer, Midorima already had the answer in his mind. He pushed his glasses with a complicated expression.
"Although I can roughly confirm it, I need hard evidence. I will go down and collect some more information later. If the comparison is correct, the case can be closed."
Saiki nodded.
Hmm? What's going on here, you ask?
In fact, the reason is very simple. The tentacle man died because of toxins.
To be precise, it's because of one's own toxins.
It was only after Qi Mu learned the whole story through touch that he realized that this guy was not a sea monster, but just a creature that was about to starve to death.
Since the sea area where he used to stay was no longer safe, he had to come to this sea area in order to survive.
However, before moving, it apparently did not realize that this sea area did not have the nutrients to support it.
So much so that half a month after moving in, it suffered from extremely unbearable "hunger"
Only then would he, holding on to a glimmer of hope for survival, one day attack some unlucky person who came to visit.
But that little bit of food was not enough, and it didn't even feel full, so in a state of extreme despair, it finally set its sights on its own tentacles!
Perhaps before it died, even it itself did not expect that it would be killed by its own poison.
Because in its impression, its tentacles can regenerate infinitely, so it shouldn't matter even if they are eaten.
It’s a pity that fate gave us tentacles. Maybe this is the price of eating people.
But what Qimu can know, Midorima will definitely not know.
Through mature judgment, he found that the unknown creature was poisoned because it carried toxins and its tentacles were bitten off by brute force.
That's why Midorima suspected the unknown creature himself.
After all, monsters usually don't have their own thoughts, so if they feel hungry, it's not uncommon for them to react drastically.
It was just a headache, as he had no idea how to hand over this report to Akashi.
Because they were too hungry, the creatures they were guarding against ate themselves to death?
He was sure that if he dared to hand it over like that, Captain Shutoku would show up in Akashi's office tomorrow to be scolded.
I see. Thank you for your hard work.
Greetings from a hands-off boss.
