The mikoshi carrying the mermaid mummy from the mermaid shrine on Mikamijima Island has arrived here. In various festivals in Japan, you can often see a large group of men carrying a magnificently decorated object that resembles a sedan chair. That is the mikoshi. The mikoshi is the frame of the vehicle used for the deity's procession, consisting of a roof, a body, and a stretcher. Generally speaking, the weight starts from half a ton, and two or three tons is not uncommon. Carrying such a heavy thing while walking around the city would be extremely difficult even if several men were to do the job. Some men who have been carrying the sedan chair for many years may even develop fist-sized tumors behind their shoulders due to friction, just like the humped bull, the sacred Indian bull. However, the portable shrine used in the Mermaid Festival was obviously just a showpiece and was not that heavy at all. Because the people who carried the shrine were young girls dressed coolly, with fish scale makeup on their faces and skirts that fell to their heels like those of mermaids. "It's really immoral! How can a woman be allowed to carry the shrine?" There were middle-aged and elderly tourists from other places who watched with elation, but also felt heartbroken.
"Shut up, old man." The camera in the hands of the young man traveling with me kept clicking. He rolled his eyes and said: "Young girls don't lift their heads anymore, so you lift your heads for me to see? No, I don't want to see a shirtless stinky man." The middle-aged and elderly tourists muttered a few words, but wisely stopped talking and instead took the time to feast their eyes. Sure enough, no matter how old a man is, he likes to look at young and beautiful girls. Uchiha Ming's gaze lingered on the young girls dressed as mermaids for a while, then looked at the mikoshi. In the shrine was a child-sized, dried and blackened half-monkey, half-fish corpse. Uchiha Ming naturally knew that this was a fake. The legend of Yaobikuni, which originated in Wakasa Bay, is well-known in Japan. This legendary mermaid mummy has also attracted many tourists, who marvel at it and take photos one after another. But there was only excitement and curiosity on their faces, without any awe of monsters or gods. Obviously, most people do not believe that this is a real mermaid mummy. They only come to see this so-called mermaid mummy out of curiosity. After all, it is the 21st century, a new era of Reiwa, where science and technology are flourishing. How many people would believe in these weird and absurd legends? The pilgrim team carrying the mikoshi gradually walked away, and Uchiha Ming slowly withdrew his gaze. Now that we have seen the young lady and the fake mermaid specimen, this mermaid festival was worth the trip, and now it’s time to get down to business. ………… The monitoring room inside Obama City Police Station. "Dong dong dong." The pretty blonde tapped the table with her right fingers out of boredom, and looked at Daiki Shimazaki on the screen with her chin in her hand. Daiki Shimazaki is now detained in the police station's detention room.
In addition to the surveillance cameras, outside the iron bars of the detention room, there were several police officers from the Public Security Section 5 staring intently at Shimazaki Daiki's every move. This is both a strict protection and a way to wait and see. Waiting for 'Suzuki Kimie', who is no longer sure whether he is an evil spirit or some other monster, to come. The day before, the survey ship and missile boat that were carrying out a secret experimental mission were completely wiped out, which had already attracted the attention of the US side. For the powerful Seventh Fleet, a Pegasus-class missile boat with a displacement of 200 tons is just a drop in the bucket. However, the fact that it was inexplicably sunk in Wakasa Bay also made those who knew the inside story feel very uneasy. Rescue ships and warships were urgently dispatched to the sea area where the incident occurred, but no survivors were found. The underwater camera at the bottom of Wakasa Bay found that the sunken ship was deserted and the evil spirit of Suzuki Kimie was nowhere to be found. When things developed to this point, everyone knew that something must have gone wrong in the secret experiment. Several leaders of the experimental project decisively put the blame on Section 5 Chief Mori, who was missing and apparently dead, and temporarily shirked their responsibility. But the most urgent task is to find out what happened. At this time, Obama City sent information that the survivors of the shipwreck that year drowned one after another mysteriously overnight. Lesson 5 had already investigated and documented the truth of what happened during the storm that year, but it turned a blind eye to it out of disregard for fairness and justice. After briefly understanding the intelligence, with the keen sense of smell gained from years of dealing with supernatural things in Lesson 5, it was natural that they smelled something unusual behind it. It's the revenge of 'Suzuki Kimie'! However, Suzuki Kimie's evil spirit came to Obama City to seek revenge and kill people, which has broken the three iron rules of evil spirits! Evil spirits are homing and can only move within a certain range; they have no emotions or reason, and treat their enemies and relatives equally, and will not cause trouble out of hatred. Based on the sixteen Type B cases to date, it is impossible for Suzuki Kimie to appear in Obama City and specifically target the enemies who abandoned her in the storm. "Could it be that our experiment in Lesson 5 opened Pandora's box..." Grace sorted out her thoughts, worry deep in her eyes. If evil spirits really develop emotions, detaining Suzuki Kimie's sister is just in case, so that there will be a card to play when the time comes. "Investigator, it's noon. This is the lunch box our director ordered from the best local restaurant." A local police officer with a middle-parted hair, holding a beautifully decorated lacquer lunch box in his hand, said in a flattering manner. "I don't know if it suits your taste. If you don't like it, we can prepare Western food for you." "Whatever, that's it." Grace opened the lunch box and ate a few bites nonchalantly, then suddenly asked: "Hasn't that woman left yet?" "Yes, she didn't even eat lunch and she's still clinging to us. Do you want us to get rid of that woman?" "never mind."
For the sake of Inspector Uchiha, I can't just leave her alone. Grace sighed, picked up a lunch box and walked out. "Fish! Fish! Fish!" “So many fish!” "What a monster!" At this moment, a burst of exclamation came. Grace's face changed, she pulled out her gun and rushed out. In the corridor of the police station, there were countless strange fish with thin and weird legs crawling around! Chapter 228 Chapter 229 The Shark Series: Land Shark Under the abdomen of the strange walking fish that appeared inside the Obama City Police Station, there were four abnormally long pointed legs similar to the limbs of insects! Mackerel, flounder, snapper, yellowtail... These are common fish species in Wakasa Bay. Japan is an island country surrounded by the sea. The country lives off the mountains and the sea. Marine fish occupies an important position in the national menu. Generally speaking, fish is nothing to be afraid of for the Japanese. But the prerequisite is that these fish appear in the water tanks of fish markets or convenience stores, instead of growing legs and crawling around on the ground. "Fish, walking?" "What on earth is this?!" This horrifying scene caused panic in the police station. The first person to discover the strange walking fish at Obama City Police Station was Sakaki Namiryu. After sending Uchiha Ming out to visit the Mermaid Festival, Sakaki Namiryu has been running around Obama City Police Station. The front desk of the police station was annoyed by her pestering and could not even maintain the superficial politeness. She rolled her eyes and told her that this was the rule and she could complain if she was dissatisfied. Sakaki Namiryu also wanted to break into the police station and confront the police leaders face to face, but as expected, she was stopped by the police officers. The police officer warned her that if she continued to pester him, she would be detained for obstructing official duties. Sakaki Namiryu could only reluctantly stop her work for the time being and sit on the bench in the lobby of the police station. "Damn it! These wage thieves who bully the weak and fear the strong, grovel to foreign women but look down on their own taxpayers!" Although it was close to noon, Sakaki Namiryu had no appetite at all. She was so angry that she felt full. However, it was hard to tell how much of this nameless anger was caused by the Obama City Police Station that detained her best friend, or by that arrogant blonde woman. "Do I really have to call my brother-in-law for help?" After all, Suzuki Maika was involved in the trouble because she invited her to participate in the Mermaid Festival, and Sakaki Namieru felt very sorry. But when she picked up the phone and prepared to dial the number, she remembered what Grace said, "Your understanding of the Uchiha police is pitifully shallow," and she couldn't help but hesitate. What did that foreign woman mean by this?
Judging from her tone and expression, she wasn't completely bluffing... Just as Sakaki Namiryu was wondering what the deeper meaning was, she caught a glimpse of a small black shadow rushing in from the police station door out of the corner of her eye. It moved incredibly fast and in a strange trajectory, and then it flashed under the row of chairs. mouse? Sakaki Namiryu found it a little funny that there was a rat in this shabby police station. Something doesn't seem right. Is this how mice run? Born and raised in a rural area of Shizuoka Prefecture, Sakaki Namiryu has seen many rats running around, but none of them had a vague S-shaped snake-like trajectory like the black shadow just now. Sakaki Namiryu bent down curiously and looked under the row of chairs. But nothing was found. I don't know where that thing went. Sakaki Namiryu didn't care too much. After thinking for a while, she decided to call Uchiha Senmon. "Beep beep..." Sakaki Namiryu walked to the door of the police station with her cell phone and looked at the street outside the police station. Perhaps because the procession carrying the mikoshi on the other side of the city attracted most of the tourists, there were not many pedestrians near the police station. Obama City Police Station is not too far from Wakasa Bay, and you can even smell the fishy smell of the sea breeze blowing on your face. "Beep beep..." There was a dead tone in the microphone and no one answered again! I have been trying to call my brother-in-law these days, but I can't get through. What kind of work is he doing? Why is he so busy? Sakaki Namiryu put down her phone with a complicated expression, and the knuckles of her fingers holding the phone turned white due to excessive force. Now that she thinks about it carefully, her impression of her brother-in-law still remains in her previous admiration. After her brother-in-law arrived in Tokyo and her sister passed away, what he experienced and who he met, Sakaki Namiryu really knew nothing about it. But I won’t give up just like that! Sakaki Namiryu bit her lower lip, feeling upset, the nameless anger accumulating in her chest growing stronger. “Crack, crack, crack.” At this moment, a small black shadow jumped out from the corner of the police station hall and slipped right under Sakaki Namiryu's feet. "Damn rat, Xine!" Sakaki Namiryu had no fear of the mouse and stomped on it viciously with her foot. "Come on!" The black shadow was stepped on by Sakaki Namiya, with the center of gravity pressed on it. Sakaki Namiya also rolled it several times to vent her anger. Based on her previous experience, this kick was enough to burst the mouse's internal organs.
But the touch under her feet made Sakaki Namiryu feel that something was wrong. It was not the furry feeling of stepping on a small rodent, but rather a rustling feeling that scratched her feet. Sakaki Namiryu moved her feet away in confusion and took a look, then immediately let out a scream! "ah!" I saw a black fish with its intestines ripped and its stomach rotten lying on the ground. Under the belly of the fish, there were several long black claws twitching unconsciously! Even Namiryu Sakaki, a female warrior who could crush a rat without batting an eyelid, couldn't help but scream when she saw this disgusting and horrifying scene. "Ms. Sakaki, what do you want?"
