In the bedroom, Shimabukuro Kimie dressed up as a long-lived woman and slowly packed away her makeup props, photo albums, clothes, etc. She still couldn't figure out why her younger sister Masae suddenly came home during the day and then left suddenly:
"Did something happen to Yahui when she came back suddenly? Also, Yahui said she found a safe way to and from Mermaid Falls. Is that true?"
Shimabukuro Kimie was thinking wildly in her mind, and finally packed everything away. Then, as if she remembered something, she stretched out her hand and patted her forehead and said:
"Really, I almost forgot. Every time Yahui comes home, she sheds a lot of fish scales in the house. You can't let others see these..."
Shimabukuro Kimie thought about it, stood up, glanced around the room, and was about to take a broom to clean the room. Suddenly, he was stunned, staring motionlessly at the floor of the bedroom, with a look of disbelief on his face.
:
"How, how is it possible? How is it possible?! Here...here..."
Shimabukuro Kimie was stunned for five or six seconds before frantically opening the bedroom door and looking at the corridor outside the door, her body couldn't help but tremble:
"How, how is this possible? Yahui was injured and she just came here. There must be her fish scales in the room. How come there aren't? Could it be that..."
Shimabukuro Kimie recalled the strange situation when she met her "sister" before, and then suddenly thought of Shu Yunwen, and felt a chill in her heart:
"...Is that the Spirit Exterminator? He, he...I, I think I mentioned Mermaid Falls just now, could he, could he...Although Yahui said that ordinary people cannot enter the shelter at all, but that is
An exorcist, if he discovers the problem with the shelter and the hole..."
Shimabukuro Kimie thought about the miserable life of her ancestors after the mermaid was captured. She could no longer keep calm and stumbled towards the entrance.
Soon, Shimabukuro Kimie walked to the entrance and was about to open the door to go to the Mermaid Falls. Suddenly she heard a knock on the door: "Changshou Po, Changshou Po? Is Jujube Po at home? I am from Fukui Prefecture.
Police, I have something to ask you..."
Shimabukuro Kimie was stunned when he heard this. After hesitating for a moment, he quickly knelt on the ground, pretending to be a longevity woman, walked to the door, opened the door, and asked in an old voice: "Is it the police? Excuse me.
What do you want from me?"
"Ah... Hello, Changshou Po." The uniformed policeman at the door greeted him quickly, and then said with a smile, "The Maori detective from Tokyo said that he wanted to reason at the shrine and reveal the truth about the three murders on the island. Let us invite you over.
…”
"Mr. Mori, do you want to reason?" Shimabukuro Kime was stunned for a moment, then shook his head anxiously, "I'm sorry, my health is not good, I really don't want to go there..."
Listening to Shimabukuro Kime's words, the uniformed policeman smiled dryly and scratched his head: "However, Mr. Mori repeatedly emphasized that the reasoning of the case is related to you, so you must be taken there, and you must not be allowed to leave the sight of our police... This way
Well, how about I carry you there?"
Shimabukuro Kimie's heart sank, and the expression in her eyes changed several times. She thought of the responsibility of the "longevity woman" that her mother entrusted to her before she died, and shook her hands vigorously:
"Okay, I'll go with you..."
Yahui, please don't let anything happen to you... When my sister has finished dealing with the police and detectives, she will go find you!
…
In front of Mermaid Falls.
Under the gazes of Shu Yunwen, Tsukamoto Sumi, Koizumi Anko and others, the mermaid statue condensed by the river water finally stopped, and a pair of eyes stared at the middle section of the waterfall falling from the sky.
Looking at this scene, Loli'ai said: "The mermaid looked at the waterfall in the sky. Could it be that the entrance to the shelter is right there?"
"Of course!" Koizumi Anko nodded, stared at the waterfall for a moment, then took out the magic broom from her skirt, flew into the air with a "swipe", and passed directly through the vertically falling waterfall.
.
About half a minute later, Shu Yunwen and the others didn't know what Koizumi Hongzi was doing in the waterfall. They saw that the vertical waterfall suddenly changed, and streams of water changed in the air, forming a step road made of water, which paved the way to the waterfall.
On the rock next to it, and at the end of the steps, is Koizumi Anko standing in front of a hole in the middle of the rock behind the waterfall.
Seeing this scene, Tsukamoto Sumi, Loli Ai, and Kimijima Kana were all dumbfounded, while Shu Yunwen thought of the records in the ghost wizard's inheritance, thoughtfully——
According to legend, in order to facilitate the friendly wizards and magicians to visit, at every entrance of the mermaid sanctuary, there is a mermaid mage left behind, specially used to welcome wizards, magicians and other existences...
Koizumi Hongzi has activated that "road", right?
Speaking of which, this "special" road is really shocking!
Shu Yunwen sighed in his heart, stretched out his hand to hold Tsukamoto Sumi's hand, and walked towards the steps where the water condensed. At the same time, he said: "Let's go up quickly! This scene is a bit shocking. It would be bad if someone sees it...
…”
"Uh, okay." Tsukamoto Sumi responded, and quickly grabbed Shu Yunwen's hand, carefully stepped on the steps, and stamped hard twice. After making sure that the strange steps were stable, he turned to look at Loli
Ai stretched out her hand:
"Xiao Ai, come up quickly, let's go together."
"Yes." Loli Ai nodded, and walked up the water flow steps with Kimijima Kana and quickly walked towards Koizumi Anko's position.
Not long after, everyone walked up to Koizumi Hongzi. Koizumi Hongzi also withdrew her magic power, and the water flow steps below immediately returned to the shape of a vertical waterfall.
Kimijima Kana looked at this scene, and finally couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and asked: "Mr. Koizumi, what was that just now? It was simply, simply too shocking..."
"This is a road left by the mage who built the Mermaid Sanctuary using the shelter formation. It's not a big deal - it's a pity that this is not the bottom of the sea, otherwise the 'road' we see will be even more shocking..." Koizumi Anko replied softly.
Tsukamoto Sumi was a little confused and said in surprise:
"Will the bottom of the sea be more shocking?"
"That's right." Shu Yunwen nodded, recalling the records in the ghost wizard's inheritance, and explained, "The mermaid shelter built on the seabed. Once this road is activated, a path will appear that isolates the surrounding seawater and leads directly from the sea surface to the bottom of the water.
The road...that scene, walking all the way, you can also enjoy the sea scene in the surrounding sea water, it is very beautiful..."
"Really?" Listening to Shu Yunwen's words, Loli Ai could not hold back any longer. Her ice-blue eyes were full of sparkle, and she was obviously looking forward to it.
"of course it's true!"
Shu Yunwen curled his lips, then looked at the entrance of the cave and said, "Okay, we'll talk about this later. Now..."
"...Let's go into this shelter and take a look first!"
