Chapter 242: The Philosophy of the Anonymous Organization (Fake)
Sawaki Kouhei didn't know where this thing came from.
At this point, he was no longer able to tell whether this was reality or an illusion. He just felt that the mermaid's "kind and friendly" eyes were very familiar, and instantly reminded him of a detective.
...If I remember correctly, Jiang Xia looked at him with similar eyes many times along the way.
Before, Sawaki Kohei thought that this was a trick used by the detective to paralyze him and make him reveal his true colors.
But now, he found that this was not the case - whether it was Jiang Xia or the mermaid, the way they looked at him was not false at all, it was a kind of "kindness" and "friendliness" that came from the heart.
It's just that kind of emotion is not based on an equal relationship.
Sawaki Kouhei realized belatedly that this was not the look of a human looking at another human. In the eyes of the mermaid and Jiang Xia, he was just like a clam that had been holding sand for years. They liked him, not because of him, but because they liked the process of cutting him open and taking out the pearls from his body.
“…”
Perhaps it is because when a person is about to die, his inspiration will always increase. The image of Jiang Xia slowly flashed through Sawaki Kouhei's mind.
...a famous detective who hates evil, doesn't want to let the criminals go unpunished for even a second, and solves cases at high speed?
Those reporters and police are all blind!
Why didn't anyone realize that Jiang Xia was actually this kind of person? !
Sawaki Kouhei felt his legs which had lost all feeling a long time ago, and looked at the bodies of Asahi Katsuyoshi and Oyamauchi Nana who had drifted nearby at some point and were passing by silently like two spectators, and suddenly sneered.
He looked at the mermaid in the air, and asked vaguely through gritted teeth: "You and that detective...are in the same group, right? What...are you guys?"
Sawaki Kouhei didn't expect a fish that only saw him as prey to answer him. But he would be unwilling to die without saying something.
However, the mermaid saw something through him, and she looked very happy, and actually answered, "It's a human."
“We’re just a bunch of regular people out there.”
As she spoke, under Sawaki Kouhei's ghostly gaze, the mermaid turned her eyes slightly, raised her hand and slid it through the water, as if she was hugging a large invisible object.
Then it used that weirdly mixed and inexplicable rhythmic voice to elegantly shift the blame: "You can think of us as a mirror - in front of good people, we are good people; in front of passers-by, we are passers-by; and in front of you..."
The mermaid smiled a smile so faint that it was almost invisible, but it was there:
"We are the kind of people most similar to you - and of course, we will be your most loyal allies until the last moment."
…
A minute later, Sawaki Kouhei's oxygen ran out.
Jiang Xia drove a vest and pulled him out from under the car, so that he was mixed with the other two bodies and became the third body that sank in the underwater restaurant.
In fact, the oxygen tank could have lasted for a while longer.
But after hearing what the mermaid said, Sawaki Kohei was obviously very excited. He took a deep breath of the last bit of oxygen and questioned the mermaid - Nishina Minoru, the person he wanted to kill, was clearly not dead yet, so how could the mermaid have the confidence to say that she was his "most loyal accomplice."
Then, when the mermaid replied without any guilt, "It's not about how you feel, it's about how we feel," he choked in anger and drowned unwillingly.
The murderous aura began to fade away after Sawaki Kouhei realized his situation. The ghosts that clung to his legs also let go after he died.
There are three shikigami in total. Two are Asahi Katsuyoshi and Koyama Nana who just died, and one is Murakami Jō who died a little while ago.
——After Murakami was released from prison, he had let go of his hatred for Maori Kogoro. He was very grateful to the former police officer for giving him a chance to start a new life. He originally wanted to thank Maori Kogoro in person, but when he went to the office, Maori Kogoro was not at home, so Murakami only met Sawaki Kouhei.
Murakami Takeshi was invited by Sawaki Kohei, "a good friend of Mori Kogoro", to have a few drinks at Sawaki Kohei's house. Then, because he refused his proposal of "revenge on Mori Kogoro", he became the first dead soul at the hands of Sawaki Kohei.
…
Jiang Xia gathered up everything he could pick up and hugged it, then looked at Sawaki Kouhei's body floating away, then bent down, looked at the scales on his tail and sighed.
This vest is actually pretty cool.
It's a pity that it destroys the worldview. Once the detectives' concept of "advocating science" is broken, Jiang Xia is very worried that the materialistic detectives will retire from the world and no longer attract cases.
...I can only show off in front of people like Sawaki Kouhei who won't leak secrets.
Well, and those few people whose worldviews are not normal to begin with.
…
Jiang Xia sighed, and swam out of the gap with the ghost with murderous intent.
Then he dispersed the puppets, handed the murderous aura and ghost to the mermaid ghost fetus, and asked her to help take them back.
He immediately switched his consciousness back to his body.
…
Although the main part of this underwater restaurant built by Xu Shengyi is deep in the sea, many parts of it are located above the sea.
At this time, a group of people successfully escaped outside the restaurant, floated to the surface, and then climbed to the top of the building along the somewhat crooked stairs with the help of each other, temporarily escaping danger.
Mao Lilan sat on the shore, pounding her chest and spitting out a few streams of water, looking at the sparkling sea with some confusion.
Just now, she was holding Jiang Xia with one hand, and she was in a panic. She once thought she was choking on water.
But now it seems...
Mao Lilan felt her respiratory tract was completely normal, and for a moment she couldn't be sure whether she had choked on water or drank water - when she "spit out water" just now, the water seemed to flow out with her breathing, but there was no feeling of choking.
She thought about it for a moment in confusion, and felt that maybe she was too nervous and had an illusion - she must have just accidentally drank a few sips, and choking on water was not a symptom.
What comforted her was that Jiang Xia, who was sitting quietly next to her, didn't seem to choke on the water either.
Mao Lilan couldn't help but feel a little proud - not only did she swam out without any injury, but she also brought an extra one with her. That was really great.
…
The group of people lay down tiredly for a while and then gradually got up.
Inspector Megure looked around in confusion: "I don't see Sawaki Kouhei."
"He hid or ran away!" Several celebrities who were dragged in to make up the number sequence and nearly died in the sea felt that they were very innocent, so when they mentioned Sawaki Kouhei, they couldn't help but have a bit of resentment in their voices, "If he was still here, I would definitely hold him down and beat him up! He must know this too."
"It looks like we have to issue a wanted order." Inspector Megure sighed.
At this time, a ship came towards this side quickly.
——The explosion on the seabed just now was quite violent. With such a big noise, they didn't even need to call the police, and rescue helicopters and speedboats were already rushing here one after another.
After a group of tired people explained the situation to the search and rescue personnel, they handed over the search and rescue work to them, and were sent to the shore to rest.
