Chapter 208: The Mermaid's Accomplice, plus more to the leader [The Cold and Courageous Xuan Xiaohua]
Saori Menze was overwhelmed with the desire to survive, and suddenly she remembered a reason.
——This island is “Mermaid Island”.
Could it be that the truth is that mermaids can only live on the island and cannot leave, and the scope of the "island" is limited to the land here?
Thinking of this, Menba Saori plucked up her courage. She scooped up a handful of sea water and splashed it on the mermaid.
The mermaid felt offended and her expression became even colder. She really wanted to slap Saori Kadowaki into the sea with her tail.
But remembering what Jiang Xia had said before, she finally didn't move.
The sea water splashed on her.
Saori Kadowara looked at this scene and was ecstatic - this mermaid was not afraid of the sea water, which meant that it did not go into the sea because it must be unable to leave the island!
Saori Kadowaki calmed down a little and got up.
She stepped on the sea water and ran all the way to the shrine, trying to call out Shimabukuro Kimie to ask for arrows.
However, the shrine was a little distance from the sea, and the noise of the waves and the sea breeze was very loud. She shouted for a long time, but there was no movement in the shrine.
Only the figure of the mermaid slowly emerged. She was sitting on the tree, with her tail hanging leisurely, looking at her teasingly with a hint of malice.
Kadowaki Saori didn't dare to go ashore. After realizing that she couldn't call out Shimabukuro-kune, she gritted her teeth and changed direction.
She ran for a while, swam for a while, came to the dock, found a small boat, climbed on it in a panic, and planned to escape to another nearby island to escape today. The island was not far away.
The mermaid watched her sail away and wagged her tail gleefully.
I didn't expect that I could send the person into the sea so smoothly just by acting according to what Jiang Xia said.
The mermaid looked up into the sky.
A human-shaped shadow was hovering above her, secretly urging her like an overseer.
The mermaid shook her tail, dispersed the puppet, and transformed back into a ghost, floating into the sea after the boat.
…
Jiang Xia drove the Mist Tengu's puppet in the sky and reluctantly lit another ghost mint.
Almost as soon as the cigarette was lit, it quickly burned out, and a handful of smoke floated downward.
Almost at the same time, with some clever help, the waves next to Menba Saori's boat became stronger and stronger, and finally overturned the shaky boat.
Kadowaki Saori fell into the sea in a mess, and the mermaid swam happily around the upside-down boat. She did not step forward to slap Kadowaki Saori into the sea, but just watched the human sinking in front of her quietly.
Facing the lingering mermaid, Saori Kadowara finally broke down: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't lose the arrow on purpose, and I didn't mean to harm you three years ago. I just wanted to test whether you were immortal... So many people have lost arrows, and you're not dead at all, so why didn't you let me go! Why are you only staring at me!"
The mermaid jumped out of the water, sat on the boat, and looked at her with her chin in her hand, as if she was enjoying a comedy.
Kadowaki Saori's mind was in a mess. She had many other questions, such as why the mermaids who could only appear on Mermaid Island would chase her into the sea...
But at this moment, the moonlight suddenly dimmed.
Saori Kadowaki looked up in shock and saw a young man in a simple kimono flapping his wings, falling towards the sea and hovering beside her.
Saori Kadowara looked at him blankly and stopped thinking.
Maybe... this is just a nightmare?
The presence of mermaids is understandable, after all, this is Mermaid Island, but... why would something like the Tengu in mythology suddenly run to the sea? !
Under Menko Saori's stunned gaze, Kiri Tengu attacked her.
Saori Kadowara looked up at the beautiful hand and was about to hold it.
But then, she realized that the Mist Tengu was not here to pull her. The monster was holding a mobile phone in his hand - the one she had placed on her bed before.
In the blank gaze of Kadowara Saori, Kiri Tengu said calmly: "Password."
Kadowaki Saori: “…”
This must be a dream, otherwise how could it be so jumpy and illogical - two monsters appeared at the same time, forcing her into a desperate situation... just to get her cell phone password?
When things got to this point, Saori Kadowaki became bolder.
She looked at the hand that Kiri Tengu stretched out, rushed over and hugged his arm, shivering as she pressed close to him.
After she had clung to Mist Tengu, she uttered a string of numbers.
Kiri Tengu freed one hand, entered the password, and unlocked the door successfully.
He threw the phone to the mermaid on the boat, and the mermaid raised her hand to catch it.
Saori Menbe looked at this scene and suddenly had a bad feeling.
The next second, her hands were suddenly empty. The Mist Tengu that she had tightly entangled with quickly dissipated like a collapsing cloud. This speed and method...
Just like the mermaid just now.
...These two monsters are in the same group!
Saori Menba hugged Kong, a look of despair appeared in her eyes. She pinched her cramped leg and let out a meaningless scream. A wave came and pushed her into the sea.
The woman struggled and was swallowed by the sea, just like the mermaid who was swallowed by the fire in the warehouse and never reappeared.
A few seconds later, a figure slowly emerged from the boat that was upside down on the sea.
Jiang Xia gathered the Mist Tengu's puppets again and reached out to the mermaid.
The mermaid tilted her head to look at him, then raised her hand modestly and clapped her hands with him - when she was drifting on the island, she would occasionally observe young people returning home, and they seemed to like this way of celebration.
Jiang Xia was inexplicably splashed with water.
He raised his hand to shake off the water droplets and reached out again: "Cellphone."
The mermaid was stunned.
After a moment, she realized that she had misunderstood, and silently stuffed the phone into Jiang Xia's hand, then changed back into a ghost and dived into the sea.
The moment she entered the sea, Jiang Xia quickly grabbed her tail and fished the fish out again - there was more important work to do later, so there was no time to let her be shy and withdrawn.
He picked up the cigarette butt that had dropped when he disbanded the puppet, and then flew back to Mermaid Island with the mermaid in one hand and a cell phone in the other.
…
the next day.
Shimabukuro Kimie got up early and found a piece of rope, intending to use it as a weapon.
She cleaned the shrine and looked at the island where she had lived for more than 20 years with mixed feelings.
Once she kills Saori Kadowaki today, there will be no turning back. No matter whether she succeeds or not, whether she is exposed or not, she will leave this island forever and never come back.
What's even more tormenting is that there is a famous detective on the island, and she doesn't know if her plan can be hidden from Jiang Xia...
After cleaning the shrine, Shimabukuro Kimie came to the beach, looked out at the sea sadly, thought about her own things, and at the same time strengthened her determination to kill.
As she looked, she suddenly felt something was wrong - there seemed to be something stuck between the rocks on the beach.
