Chapter 587: Mountains and Seas Are Lucky
Fortunately, several high school students quickly discovered their friends who had been thrown to the ground, and quickly moved Leon to the paper door at the door, leaning against the paper behind them After sitting down at the door, he looked like a mirror image of Kogoro Mouri opposite him, sleeping with his head lowered.
“I really don’t understand why the people on the island have so much malice towards him.” After arranging his hair, Yuan Shan and Ye felt a little bit for Tang Ze when they thought of the setbacks they had encountered along the way. Sad, "Originally, this trip was to let him relax a little bit."
As a result, not only did he not get any relaxation during this trip, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and all kinds of bizarre accidents happened one after another. I'm afraid it wasn't This is going to create a bigger psychological shadow for Tang Ze.
"...otherwise, don't go to remote islands or other places next time." Thinking of what happened along the way, Mao Lilan shook her head with lingering fear, "It is indeed quite dangerous."
After being stunned, Yuanshan and Ye looked at her in awe.
No, compared to this conclusion, you are really awesome if you still have the confidence to continue taking Tang Ze on a trip...
While they were muttering here, on the other side The reasoning has already progressed to the part of determining the candidate.
“…can accurately let several victims get dugong arrows, and can indicate the exact location of the mermaid cemetery. The only one who can do this is 'Goddess-sama', that is, the Shimabukuro family Grandma Shimabukuro, right?"
"How is that possible?" Fukuyama Rokuro objected immediately, "How could an old man over a hundred years old suddenly want to do something to someone? A young man killed? ”
"Normally speaking, she really shouldn't be a murderer. It's a bit ridiculous to include her in the list of suspects."
"Then you still..."
"The premise is that , Ms. Shimabukuro Yaqin, it’s really Shimabukuro Yaqin.”
Conan moved his body, turned his head, and looked quietly at the side of the kneeling crowd from the shadows, sitting with a calm expression. Kimie Shimabukuro there.
She lowered her gaze and looked quietly at the tatami at her feet in front of her, as if she was indifferent to the conversation taking place in the room.
Conan sighed as he remembered her cheerful and straightforward look when he first saw her at the shrine.
This long sigh was faithfully transcribed by the voice changer in his hand. After being replaced with Mouri Kogoro's voice, it gave it a sense of vicissitudes of life.
"Ms. Shimabukuro Kimie, should I call you Miss Miko, or Lord Goddess?"
A thunder pierced the dark night at this moment, and the lines on the paper windows were , reflected on Shimabukuro Kime's soft side face.
She slowly raised her head with golden eyes already showing. In the reflection outlined by the lightning, it was like two ghostly will-o'-the-wisps, floating in the dark silhouette.
She looked at Mouri Kogoro who was sitting on the ground, and evoked a soft smile, which was especially weird when paired with her glowing eyes.
Conan, who was hiding behind Mouri Kogoro and with his back to everyone, couldn't see her appearance at the moment. His voice continued without any hesitation: "Mind standing up and letting us take a look at your legs. "Ms. Kimi? I mean, it's naked."
Shimabukuro Kime bowed slightly to him and stood up gracefully, revealing her slender legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings. leg.
She raised her feet without any resistance and pulled up a corner of her stockings from her toes. The extremely elastic stockings deformed and stretched as she pulled, slowly exposing her lower legs.
Shimabukuro Kimie is undoubtedly a beauty. She lowers her head like this, with cloud-like hair on her temples, and slowly pulls off the stockings on her feet. It should be a very beautiful scene.
However, the sock was torn into a slender line like that, still clinging to her skin. Under the interaction of thunder and lightning, it felt like a spider web was being pulled away from its prey, or like a snake drilling out of its own body. Snake slough...
So even Fukuyama Rokuro, who had always had a good impression of her for many years, could not think of any charming thoughts when facing this scene, and could only feel an unspeakable sense of oppression.
“Are you referring to this thing?” She straightened her toes and raised her feet.
Below her knees, her originally well-proportioned and smooth calves were divided into three equal parts by two deep red dents.
Judging from the state of this mark, it is definitely not a temporary squeeze mark, but a callus formed by being tied up with strip-like objects many times over the years.
"Kunhui...this thing is..." Fukuyama Rokuro looked at these scars and murmured at a loss.
Looking at Shimabukuro Kimie, she was wearing a miko uniform when she was at the shrine. After leaving the shrine, even if she was wearing a skirt, she would be like today, with stockings that could cover them up, so much so that Fukuyama Rokuro These scars are invisible.
"Miss Junhui, regarding the body that was found burned to death in the warehouse three years ago, the so-called mermaid bones were actually the last woman who disguised herself as a goddess." From Fukuyama Rokuro In a tone that confirmed that his inference was correct, Conan stated the facts he recognized after discussing with Hattori, "The reason why all the bones under her waist were smashed is probably because her legs were bent at that time. She was tied and fixed by something, so when the pillar fell, her entire leg was directly smashed to pieces by the impact..."
"With just a few encounters, the past can be restored to the original state. At this level, she is worthy of being a great detective from Tokyo." Shimabukuro Kime took two steps back and leaned in front of the window that was already mottled by the rain that could not be stopped by the eaves. "Then have you guessed that she is actually the best detective in Tokyo? It's my mother, have you guessed..."
She paused, turned her head and looked at the other people in the room, her tone becoming more and more misty.
"... Everyone on the island knows this truth very well, but they can still sit back and watch me swallow the painful tears alone, pretending not to know, and continue to sing and dance in the seat of the goddess?"
In her eyes, the bright golden light flourished, and the bright light at that moment made Hattori Heiji couldn't help but focus on her face and began to observe her face.
Before others could see clearly what had happened to her, a violent gust of wind passed through the hall. The thin window behind Shimabukuro Kimie could no longer hold up and was blown to pieces by the strong wind. The fierce rain poured into the house, as if a wave was hitting it directly.
"It's better to go back... it's better..."
After muttering twice, Shimabukuro Kime fell backwards, and amidst the exclamations of everyone, he let out a There was a crashing sound into the water.
Hattori Heiji rushed to the window in two steps and looked down the window sill.
The dead wood, which had been washed away by the rain until only its branches were left, was blown apart by the wind before his eyes.
————
“It’s quite powerful, he’s a troublesome guy.”
Using Haori’s sleeves to block the aftermath of the black water, Asai Narumi regained his position. He raised his bow and commented cogently.
"Stop praising your opponent here, let's continue the damage!" The scarf wrapped around the bulge of the rock under the mermaid's body, quickly changed his position, and avoided the direct attack of the flames. Tang Ze watched as he passed by. The flying flames quickly burned into a wall of fire, and I calmed down, waiting for Asai Narumi's cursed dot to return to place.
In terms of true output ability, he is a master of magic and a master of physics. Everyone in the team can't match his explosive output, but the damage-increasing ability of his teammates as auxiliary is also real.
For example, Asai Narumi’s mentally damaging dot damage is second to none. It mainly exerts the effect of the witch’s curse skill in the original work, which can effectively reduce defense and increase the probability of critical hits. , stacked with Karasawa's genuine Witch Curse, the effect is outstanding.
In the invisible field of vision of others, in his eyes, the health of [Miko of America Island] has been reduced to less than a quarter, and it will be over in one or two rounds.
"Concentrate and prepare for the general attack... huh?" Tang Ze was stunned when he issued the new command. He lowered his head as if aware and glanced at the water level, which had dropped by 4 or 5 centimeters.
Under the water, an undercurrent of unknown origin suddenly began to spin rapidly.
————
“Miss Shimabukuro! Miss Shimabukuro!”
“Kimie, don’t go there!”
“Ms. Shimabukuro! !" Conan, who was struggling to move forward in the fierce wind and rain, saw Shimabukuro Kime's figure moving forward unmoved like a sharp blade cutting through the wind and rain. He raised his hands to cover his face and shouted loudly, “It doesn’t have to come to this!”
It was clear that the storm on the island had been exaggerated to the level of a typhoon on the plains, but Shimabukuro Kimie seemed completely unaffected by the violent wind and rain, and nimbly avoided their sight like a swimming fish.
When she saw her black back walking in the rain again, she had already crossed the shrine wall, followed the familiar stairs, and walked towards the sea behind the shrine.
Realizing that Shimabukuro Kimie's mental state had reached the limit after she spoke her confession, Conan quickly realized her hidden will to die, and pulled Hattori Heiji towards Shimabukuro as fast as possible. Jun Hui's direction approached.
Like them, there were Fukuyama Rokuro who came out despite the danger and the rain, as well as Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha who insisted on following. At this time, the five people were approaching against the wind, and they all felt that There was huge resistance.
Damn it, how did Miss Shimabukuro manage to move forward smoothly in such bad weather...
As if she had truly become a mermaid in the wind and rain, she moved forward freely, over the thorns and bushes, towards the coast ahead.
The crescent-shaped coastline that was originally surrounded by golden beaches has already risen due to heavy rains, and the entire beach has been submerged by sea water. Standing on the rocks, she looked like she was standing on a cliff facing the sea. She seemed to be in love with her. Determined.
"That's right, Ms. Shimabukuro! Don't be impulsive!" Hattori Heiji also shouted with all his strength, "The body of Kadori Saori in the warehouse was a prop you originally planned to use to fake your own death. Come on! You want to be like your mother, giving up your secular identity and continuing to assume the responsibilities of a miko... You still have your mother’s expectations, and you still have friends and relatives, don’t give up!”
Hattori Heiji’s side! Shouting, he already vaguely understood why the warehouse he came over was suddenly set on fire.
He guessed that Shimabukuro Kimie originally planned to fake his death as he said after killing Kuroe Naoko, and then use the identity of Shimabukuro Yakoto to continue to play the role of a goddess and protect the island.
Before the plan was successful, Hui suddenly chose to set fire, gave up the disguise of her identity, and sat calmly in the mourning hall to listen to them approaching the truth step by step, which meant that something made her change her plan...
What was it, was it the sarcastic remarks made by the island residents with emotion? Was it those hidden selfish whispers that floated into her ears, making her completely disappointed with the island?
Sure enough, after hearing his persuasion, Shimabukuro June turned back and silently looked at the few people who were trying to walk towards her.
"You are so smart, detective, you must already know the reason why I killed them." With black hair fluttering in the strong wind, Shimabukuro Kimie stood straight on the top of the rock pile and answered. He shouted, "Because of the resentment for not drawing arrows three years ago, the three of them wanted to go to the warehouse to steal arrows after getting drunk, but saw their mother dressed as a goddess walking in, so they wanted to Try the idea of whether her immortality is true or not..."
Her eyes drifted to Fukuyama Rokuro, looking at the eager look on his face, she grinned.
There were some things that she pretended to ignore in the past. She used to think that she would seek new vitality and a way out in a wider world after leaving the island.
However, the fate of impermanence is to play tricks on people. She went round and round, returned to the starting point, and was trapped in it for the rest of her life...
Now, because she does not want to accept the marriage arranged by her parents, , you want to take her away, don't you think it's too late?
"I don't think there is anything wrong with taking revenge on them. If it is really wrong, what is wrong is knowing that my mother has died in the sea of fire, but still pretending to be deaf and dumb, euphemistically calling it,' Everyone who supported the Dugong Festival with me." Turning back, looking at the sea and sky that had become blurred due to the dark rain, Shimabukuro Kime opened his hands, "I'm not seeking. Death, I just want to complete my final revenge..."
"Miss Junhui! No!"
"Kimi, Kimmie!"
"I want to kill the culprit who is blind, ignorant and indulging these sinners - the shaman of the American shrine." Shimabukuro Kimie put on a smile and stepped out. "I'm leaving this prison."
The violent wind could not blow into her eyes, and the roaring rain could not wet her face. The moment she fell, she felt a strong sense of weightlessness sweeping over her. Upon arrival, the first feeling Shimabukuro Kime felt was relaxation. It's great, is this the feeling of freedom...
Even though it seems that she is so self-destructive, so extreme, using death to wipe out the last trace of luck of those people, to wipe out The future of this island, but only she knows——
She is definitely not falling at this moment, she is falling from hell to heaven.
Shimabukuro Kimie closed her eyes.
————
“So for half the day, we were upside down.” Looking at the center of the vortex that is getting bigger and bigger, looking at the rain falling outside the vortex, and the direction towards this Shimabukuro Kimie jumped down from the hole, and Karasawa was speechless for a moment.
Although it is not exactly the same as Yueying Island, the American Island is more like a real island that fits with the bottom of the impression space and is a complete mirror image. That’s why there are such high and low levels, and the sea water is as deep as a trench. , and we cannot deny that this is another reversed fact.
You island owners all like to do it backwards.
Standing at the edge of the whirlpool, looking down, Tang Ze raised his head again, looked at the mermaid hanging in the center of the whirlpool, and glanced at the health bar with only the last trace of blood left.
Block blood, right? This is the trick.
While he was speechless, suddenly the scarf around his neck moved on its own and suddenly extended out, reaching toward Shimabukuro Kimie who was getting closer and closer outside the whirlpool.
“Why are you feeding me? You can’t be a greedy snake!”
Karasawa was startled and stretched out his hand to stop the scarf from touching Shimabukuro Kimie. As soon as he raised his hand, he saw that the scarf was tightly wrapped around Shimabukuro Kimie's waist. With a slight cracking sound, reality Shimabukuro Kimie in the world was completely pulled into the memory space.
Shocked by the sudden tug, Shimabukuro Kimie opened his eyes. He only had time to glance at Karasawa and the others who were dragging him with scarves. His eyes were attracted by the black water mermaid below. passed.
The scarred and dying mermaid, the blood flowing from the body, continuously fell into the sea water, and was about to completely disappear in the caress of the waves, completely turning into unclean foam, dyed with this blood The sea will continue to support the people in it.
Unable to control herself, she met those eyes.
The snake-like vertical pupils, facing her golden eyes, opened slightly in her shocked gaze.
In the middle of the swirling sea water, a bright golden color floated up from the water.
At this moment, Shimabukuro Kimie could see the mermaid’s face clearly.
That all too familiar face.
“It’s dawn, some things should turn into foam.”
————
"Conan!"
Mao Lilan quickly grabbed the little boy who was almost blown away by the wind, staggered two steps, gritted his teeth, and kicked the rocks under his feet hard.
Under the influence of such strong winds, Miss Shimabukuro might not even wait until she falls into the sea, but she will be hit...
No, you must go and take a look!
She and Toyama Kazuha supported each other, and with the help of Hattori Heiji and their cooperation, they finally approached the edge of the cliff with difficulty.
Holding tightly to the protruding position of the rock pile, a few of them poked their heads towards the seawater below.
But he saw a bright red scarf tail, and Shimabukuro Kimie, who was wrapped around something around his waist, completely submerged into the sea.
Four people who all felt that this scene was inexplicably familiar: "..."
"Joker? Caught her?" This is Hattori Heiji and Toyama who had just been saved by a scarf. and leaves.
"It looks like we are saved... Huh, I feel like this is not the first time I have seen this kind of moment..." This was Mao Lilan whose legs gave out and fell to the ground.
"...Joker, that guy probably has some kind of Avengers collecting habit, right?" This is the Conan that flashed through Miyano Akemi's Noah's Ark Asai Narumi's face in his mind for a moment.
The four dumb high school students stuck their heads and looked at the sea below in a daze. Behind them, Fukuyama Rokuro, who had witnessed Shimabukuro Kimie jumping off the cliff, had fallen into a complete collapse.
"Jun Hui, Jun Hui! Jun Hui..." He howled, falling to the ground and beating the gravel on the ground, "I should have taken you away earlier, no, I should not have agreed with them , lobbying you to come back together. Junhui..."
The five people on the cliff had different expressions, and the moment the scarf pulled Shimabukuro Junhui completely into the memory space, there was a crisp cracking sound. , and it also reached the ears of several people.
“Ugh!”
"Back up!" Hattori Heiji immediately grabbed Toyama Kazuha, and held the swaying Conan in his hands. He and Maori Ran took two steps back, narrowly escaping. The waves crashed onto the cliff top.
"What's going on..." Mao Lilan's lips trembled, and she had already reached her mouth, but the noun she was about to say could not come out.
However, the shock that came from under the feet and swept through the whole body could not be deceived.
"Let's go back to the open area. It's not safe to stand on the edge of the cliff." Hattori Heiji took them several steps back towards the shrine, his face looking very ugly, "Is this an earthquake? ”
To be precise, this subtle shock had already occurred two days ago when Tangze was found hanging in the waterfall.
Since then, I don’t know if this kind of dizzy feeling has always come over me, but today it seems to have reached a limit...
What if there really was an earthquake somewhere under the sea? , based on the current weather conditions and ocean conditions, they may not have any chance of waiting for rescue, and will face the coming of natural disasters...
"Hattori..." was held in his hand, and his vision was unexpected. Conan, who was open and wide, took advantage of the opportunity of being raised to see clearly what he wanted to see at a glance, and his face became even worse, "This is not an earthquake..."
"What?"
"Sea levels are rising again...this island, this island is sinking!"
————
The sharp stone was held in the palm of her thin fingers, cutting her palm lines.
The blood blends together regardless of each other.
Shimabukuro Kimie looked at the mermaid that had closed its eyes, raised it high, and then dropped it heavily.
Pierced into the heart of the mermaid.
A louder cracking sound, mixed with the roaring sound of the approaching storm, passed through the entire impression space in an instant.
“I found it.” Tang Ze, who understood that this was the part where he had already finished the boss battle and watched the plot, became leisurely. He stood on a piece of calm water, watched the scene with his arms folded, and commented. , "You guys who live on the island make a lot of noise when you make a fuss."
"...I just shot an arrow at that time." Asai Narumi, who was suddenly slashed, turned over. Lower your eyes.
"Well, yes, then we were physically teleported back to Shibuya..."
"Ha, you can't blame me for this..."
All the movements from the outside world can no longer be transmitted to Shimabukuro Kime's ears. Her ears are now filled with two voices of different pitches.
【We must have waited too long, Your Excellency, the prisoner of fate. 】
【Yeah, did you really feel that everything was wrong until today? 】
【Didn’t you feel aware of it a long time ago? 】
【At every moment when one is kneeling down as a matter of course. 】
【In every pair of eyes looking at you with deep meaning. 】
【【You have been fooled by fate. ]]
Shimabukuro Kime, who covered his face and knelt on the rocks, let out a suppressed cry.
[You still know that it is good to resist, even if you fall into the bottom of life...]
[...You must also understand that spring and autumn are impermanent, and the sun and moon change...]
[...As long as you keep moving forward, you will eventually wait until...]
[...Freedom, and dawn. 】
【【Call our names. We are like this, mountains and seas are easy to be lucky. I am you, you are me...]]
"Ah——"
The mermaid's first and last, sharp and unyielding cry, passed through the memory space like stagnant water The sea surface passed through the undercurrents and whirlpools, passed through the windy cliffs, swept through all the storms and flames, and completely tore apart the dark clouds in the sky.
A faint ray of light came out from the deep clouds.
Shankai Yixing is the two brothers Umi Yukihiko and Yamayukihiko. They are the gods of the sea and mountains who have exchanged authority with each other. They are also called Huo Zhaoming and Huoyuanli.
Yes, Shimabukuro Kimie’s mask is made of two people.
