Conan's Devil Child Comes to the World

Chapter 284 There Are No Mermaids In This World (Second Change, Ask For Tickets)

"The Arrow of the Dugong, that is a talisman for immortality."

The proprietress said with a mysterious face: "When the dugong celebration is held every year, the longevity woman will give out three dugong arrows, which will be randomly given to those who participate in the celebration.

Saori was very lucky last year and got a dugong arrow, but she accidentally lost the dugong arrow, so she seemed very scared last week, deeply afraid that the mermaid would come to retaliate against her. "

After hearing this, Kogoro Mori disapproved and said, "How can there be any mermaids in this world?"

"No! There are indeed mermaids in this world."

As soon as Kogoro Maoli finished speaking, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded. A beautiful woman with ear-length short hair came in from the door, her jade lips parted and said: "Now there are mermaid meat eaten on this island. Real cases of immortality exist.

The long-lived woman used the hair grown by her mind to make a dugong arrow. No matter who falls into the hands of the dugong, it can realize her dream of immortality.

It is human nature for Saori to lose such an important arrow and be afraid of the mermaid retaliation for her escape from this small island. "

"Sister, have you ever seen a mermaid with your own eyes?"

Suzuki Seimei suddenly walked up to the short-haired beauty, took her hand and asked.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Heijiang Naoko. You will be rewarded with three years of [Shouyuan], and the host can claim it at any time."

"..."

Heijiang Naoko's face changed slightly when he heard the words, and he said with a guilty conscience: "Of course I haven't seen a mermaid with my own eyes."

Suzuki Seimei was disappointed and said: "That's it! I thought you'd really seen a mermaid after seeing what you said just now~"

"Although I haven't seen a mermaid, I'm sure that Longevity Woman is a symbol of immortality, because..."

Naoko Heijiang was halfway through his words, but he suddenly reacted, and hurriedly swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and changed the subject a little bluntly: "I still have to prepare for the Dugong celebration, so I will leave first."

The reason why Naoko Heijiang firmly believed in the rumor that Longevity Woman had eaten mermaid meat was that she and two good friends deliberately trapped Longevity Woman in a circle three years ago in order to test this rumor. Inside the fire.

To the shock of Naoko Heijiang and the others, the longevity woman appeared in front of everyone the next day without incident.

In the warehouse that was destroyed by the fire, a strange corpse with only the upper body was found.

Therefore, from that time on, Heijiang Naoko and the others firmly believed that Longevity Po had eaten mermaid meat and lived forever.

As for the corpse found in the fire, Heijiang Naoko and the others believed that it was a real mermaid corpse.

Presumably, when Changshou Po found the mermaid's corpse, she didn't eat it all, but hid it in the secret warehouse.

Looking at the back of Naoko Heijiang leaving, Kogoro Mori couldn't help but wonder: "Who is she?"

"Her name is Naoko Heijiang, and she is a good friend of Saori since childhood."

Hattori Heiji asked curiously: "Miss Boss, who is the longevity woman he mentioned just now?"

"Longevity woman is the protagonist of the dugong celebration, and also the symbol of our island, that old lady of Shimabukuro!"

"How old is that old lady?"

"I'm not too sure about this, anyway, she must be over a hundred years old, and some people say that she is over 200 years old."

The proprietress thought for a while and said, "If you really want to know about Longevity Po, I suggest you go to the shrine where the celebration is held on the island.

And Changshou Po's great-granddaughter Junhui, she is also a good friend who grew up with Saori, maybe she will know where Saori has gone. "

"A shrine?"

After Mao Lilan and the others finished shopping for souvenirs, the group rushed to the shrine on the island without stopping.

Because Longevity needs to prepare for tonight's celebration and has no time to receive other guests, the person responsible for entertaining Seimei Suzuki and the others is the shrine's current priestess, Kimie Shimabukuro.

"Hahaha, those are just rumors! How could my great-grandmother live to be over 200 years old?"

Facing Kogoro Mori's inquiry, Junhui Shimabukuro, who was wearing a shrine maiden costume, couldn't help but waved with a smile and said, "Actually, my great-grandmother was only 130 years old this year. Just check your household registration. I'll know right away!"

"130 years?!"

Hearing Shimabukuro Kimie say these words lightly, Mori Kogoro and the others almost dropped their jaws in shock.

130 years old is already exaggerated enough, how can normal people have the ability to live so long?
Suzuki Seimei moved closer to Junhui Shimabukuro, pulled her left hand and said, "Sister Junhui, did your great-grandmother really eat mermaid meat?"

"Ding! Congratulations on signing in to Junhui Shimabukuro, and you will be rewarded with a [stand-in doll], which the host can claim at any time."

Suzuki Seimei's eyes lit up when he heard the notification sound next to his ears. This reward is not bad.

It just so happened that Suzuki Seimei was going to use [Stand-in Doll] to create a legendary mermaid stand-in, so it wasn't a waste of time.

Looking at Suzuki Seimei's cute little face, Junhui Shimabukuro couldn't help pinching his little face and said: "Little brother, there is no such thing as a mermaid in this world. You have to believe in Ke Xue. Those rumors are just nonsense made by outsiders."

Because the long-lived woman that people talk about was originally Shimabukuro Kimie Yirong pretending to be, so she didn't believe in legends like mermaids at all.

If Shimabukuro's great-grandmother had really eaten mermaid meat, she would not have died of illness many years ago.

After the death of Junhui Shimabukuro's great-grandmother, the long-lived woman who appeared in front of people was actually her mother in disguise.

The reason why Shimabukuro Junhui's mother did this was to use it as a gimmick to promote the development of the island's tourism industry.

It's a pity that one night three years ago, when Junhui Shimabukuro's mother entered the warehouse to look for tools, Naoko Kuroe and the others set fire to her and died in the warehouse.

The strange corpse that looks like a mermaid is actually Shimabukuro Junhui's mother.

Before Junhui Shimabukuro's mother was burned to death, she called Junhui Shimabukuro, told her the secret of the longevity woman, and asked her to continue to play the role of the longevity woman, and guard this beloved island for her .

It is precisely because of this that Shimabukuro Junhui inherited her mother's last wish and became the third-generation longevity woman. Every year, as a longevity woman, a dugong celebration is held.

It's just that what Shimabukuro Junhui didn't expect was that just a few days ago, her good friend Saori Kamenori came to seek her help because of the loss of the Dugong Arrow. In a panic, she said three years ago. The truth about the previous fire.
