Chapter 206 I saw it and it was my fish. Please give me a monthly ticket.
Compared with ordinary ghost fetuses, the ghost in front of him, which is as big as a human, is obviously very special.
Moreover, although its body size is similar to that of humans, its appearance does not look like a human, but a completely mythical mermaid - a fish tail and a human body, transparent scales covering the edges of its eyes, pointed ears like an elf, and long hair that falls to the waist.
Jiang Xia looked at her for a while and felt a little moved.
...What a big ghost.
want to.
The mermaid sat on the torii, looking down at him with an indifferent expression, and the fish scales dotted at the corners of her eyes looked like a piece of thin ice.
Jiang Xia observed for a moment and walked closer again.
The mermaid frowned slightly and raised her tail fan to hit again.
This time, Jiang Xia did not hide.
He raised his hand, grabbed the mermaid's tail, and pulled hard.
Before the mermaid could react, she was pulled through the torii gate and fell to the ground with a thud.
...There's nothing we can do. A ghost without murderous aura as its energy source has no ghost power. No matter how good-looking it is, it's useless.
Jiang Xia took a step forward and held down the mermaid that was screaming in anger. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was. It was indeed his ghost. Even though it had been transformed into a monster due to the influence of the legend, it could consciously develop in a good-looking direction instead of turning into a deep-sea dugong or something like that...
Jiang Xia pulled his hand away from the mermaid's angry bite and sincerely invited her, "Come and sign the contract."
The mermaid bared her fangs angrily and tried to pounce on him: "#&%@*!"
Jiang Xia pretended not to understand and thought her struggling was a nod.
Although this place is quite remote, people still pass by occasionally, and it would be a bit strange to be seen communicating with mermaids like this.
Jiang Xia let go of the mermaid, stood up, grabbed the mermaid ghost's tail, carried the new ghost on his shoulder, and walked towards a more remote place.
On the way, Jiang Xia heard Xiaobai mumbling and complaining in his ear - the mermaid took the opportunity to bite him a few times.
Fortunately, no matter how strong they look, ghosts have very little influence on real objects when they are hungry.
At most, my back was just a little itchy from being bitten.
Jiang Xia walked into the grove behind the house, put the mermaid down, and tried to start a friendly communication again.
But the mermaid seemed to want to ignore him.
The mermaid ghost in front of him was obviously influenced by the legend just like Mist Tengu.
But the difference is that not only has her appearance changed, but her temper is also more irritable than before she was alive.
Jiang Xia studied the mermaid who was staring at him and trying hard to bite him for a while, then looked at the Mist Tengu who was floating beside him and curiously reached out to gently stroke the mermaid's tail... They are both ghosts, so why is Mist Tengu so obedient?
Could it be that the monk's power diluted the murderous aura?
Jiang Xia was worried for a while because of the fish that kept flapping its wings and refusing to communicate.
However, being able to become a ghost fetus means having a certain level of intelligence and some memories from previous life.
Jiang Xia thought about it and decided to let her recognize the current situation first.
Judging from the approximate time when the ghost was formed, Jiang Xia felt that this should be the Naoko Shimabukuro who was mistaken for a mermaid and burned to death in a warehouse three years ago.
He then began to whisper the devil: "Your daughter is going to die."
The mermaid's struggling movements paused.
Jiang Xia felt that it was effective and spoke again: "The Mermaid Festival will soon be over."
The mermaid slowly pricked up her ears, and the crystal clear bone earrings moved.
Jiang Xia looked at her and continued, "Without the Mermaid Festival, this island will probably be doomed."
The mermaid bared her fangs angrily and looked like she wanted to bite him again, but she finally understood what Jiang Xia meant. After hesitating for a moment, she closed her mouth unwillingly.
Jiang Xia was satisfied - they could indeed communicate normally.
He briefly told the mermaid about the current situation and Shimabukuro Kimie's plan.
Then he proposed: "You can use me as a wishing machine and make a reasonable wish. If I do it, you will have to willingly sign a contract with me."
For such unruly ghosts, it is necessary to negotiate the conditions in advance, and this condition itself will also be a constraint - at that time, as long as the psychic completes the ghost's requirements, even if the ghosts have other obsessions in their hearts, they must follow the previously agreed requirements and become "willing."
The mermaid looked at Jiang Xia hesitantly and fell into thought.
The mermaid also has her own little calculations.
The more vague and broad the wish, the easier it is to be exploited. She was worried that if she asked for the Mermaid Festival to last forever, the cunning psychic might ignore the island's affairs and create a festival called the "Mermaid Festival" on her own, intending to hold it every year, or even every N years, until the contract ended.
However, if the conditions are too specific, such as "the Mermaid Festival on this Mermaid Island must be held every year on the same scale and in the same form as it is now"... the psychic may not agree to such endless and demanding demands.
As a ghost, the mermaid also has some instinctive understanding of psychics.
She knew that Jiang Xia was not unable to forcibly capture the ghost, but he was willing to go through the process of "eliminating obsession" in order to ensure the best results.
And if the trouble she proposed was beyond the psychic's tolerance, then perhaps she would not even be qualified to make a deal - by then, the psychic would only lose a defective product. But for her, if she pushed the psychic to the limit, her ghost life would be ruined...
The mermaid thought carefully about what she was going to do, and gradually murderous intent appeared on her face - she wanted Jiang Xia to kill the three people who set the fire.
In the mermaid's view, once the arsonist died, the current "life model" Shimabukuro Kimie would no longer have a target of hatred and would naturally not become a murderer.
In this way, the shrine will have someone to inherit, the festivals on the island can continue, and the island can still survive on the tourism industry. She believes that her daughter will not let her down.
There was also a selfish motive: those three people were the murderers who burned her to death, and she wanted revenge.
If it were Shimabukuro Naoko when she was alive, she would not have been able to make such a request so easily.
But after experiencing the despair of being burned by the fire, her thoughts were no longer so firm. Not to mention the influence of the surrounding legends on her after her death - the "mermaid" that was popular in this area was never a kind and good fish that only wanted to give and was unwilling to harm others. Instead, it was a demon god who would mercilessly bring disaster if her believers doubted her power or lost her token.
However, under the mermaid's expectant gaze, Jiang Xia did not immediately agree to this request.
The psychic looked unmotivated: "Let me kill someone?"
For a psychic, there are some terrible risks in killing someone with one's own hands.
Especially in this strange world where everyone is very obsessed, if a boss-level soul who turns evil after death appears and is wiped out, it will be troublesome.
Jiang Xia didn't say it directly, but looked at the mermaid: "You seem to hate those three people very much. Since you are so obsessed, why don't you do it yourself?"
The mermaid was startled and gently stroked the scales at the corners of her eyes, feeling a little moved.
But soon she frowned again and patted the ground with her broad fish tail. The thin dead leaves under her tail did not move at all - it was difficult for her to influence reality.
