People are in Tokyo, there is a wishing machine

Chapter 80 Mermaid Legend
"Chinari Kushima's wish request has been completed! 』

"Get 10 wish points! 』

"Get 1 rare wish chests! 』

When Higashino Hirosawa walked out of the coffee shop, a reminder to complete the commission appeared.

No matter how entangled in his heart, Chisei Jiudao seems to have accepted the reality.

In addition to wish points and rare treasure chests, there will soon be 200 million yen in revenue.

The first day was off to a good start, and Hirozawa Higashino was in a good mood.

"I am back."

It was almost 7 o'clock when Higashino Hirozawa returned to his home in Asakusa.

"father!"

When Xiao Qianhe saw Higashino Hirosawa, he ran over immediately, and threw himself on him with his arms outstretched.

Hirosawa Higashino quickly put down what was in his hand and caught her.

Following Uzuki and Asakusa Yayoi, after only playing for a few days, they became more and more courageous.

"Welcome home, brother Higashino. Wow, strawberry cake!"

Uzuki followed behind Xiaoqianhe, and his eyes lit up when he saw the things Higashino Hirosawa put on the ground.

Higashino Hirosawa bought four strawberry shortcakes at the bakery on the way back.

The Asakusa sisters and Chiwa had already had dinner, and when Higashino Hirozawa was waiting for Chinari Kushima at the coffee shop, he also ordered something and ate.

Strawberry shortcake is just right for dessert.

A row of people sat on the sofa eating cake and watching TV. Xiao Qianhe sat on Higashino Hirosawa's lap, eating the cake and shaking his calf, very happy.

"By the way, Higashino, when Chiwa grows up, his motor nerves may be very good."

Yayoi Asakusa looked at Chiwa, and said suddenly.

"Why do you say that?"

Higashino Hirosawa asked a little strangely.

Although he didn't know much about the other children's situation, he could feel that Xiao Qianhe had been running more and more unrestrained recently.

"Grandma Futian said that in the afternoon. Grandma Futian said that Qianhe was the same as I was when I was more than one year old. She ran very fast, maybe even faster than me."

Asakusa explained.

"Is that so, Xiao Qianhe is really amazing!"

Higashino Hirosawa said with a smile.

He didn't care about that.

Unless Xiaoqianhe really wants to practice sports, Higashino Hirozawa will not actively encourage her to practice.

Athletes' sports careers are generally short, and excessive training can easily cause various hidden injuries to the body and leave sequelae.

And unless he can become a sports star, at most he will be a coach after retirement, or a physical education teacher in a better school.

"By the way, Asakusa, have you ever heard of the legend of changing bodies, that is, there are legends about old people who don't want to die and change their consciousness to a younger body."

Higashino Hirosawa asked casually, he didn't expect to get anything from Yayoi Asakusa.

"The legend of changing bodies, I've heard of one."

"I've heard it too, Grandma Futian said it!"

To Hirozawa Higashino's surprise, Yayoi Asakusa had heard of such a legend, and Uzuki raised his hand to answer.

"What does the legend say?"

Hirosawa Higashino asked quickly.

"It's too specific and I have forgotten it. Why don't you go and listen to Granny Futian!"

Yayoi Asakusa said in embarrassment.

"Alright, just bring some grapes to Granny Futian."

In addition to cakes, Hiroze Higashino also bought some fruit back.

Several people came to Futian's mother-in-law's house immediately.

Grandma Futian is in her 60s and has a son and two daughters.

The two daughters have long been married to other places, and the son has also married and had children long ago. Because of work needs, they moved to the capital.

Kyoto and Tokyo are separated by less than half of Japan, and it is rare to see each other at ordinary times.

Granny Fukuda was very happy to see Higashino Hirosawa and Asakusa sisters bringing Chiwa over.

After saying hello, Hirosawa Higashino asked about the rumor of changing his body.

"Oh, it's the mermaid legend."

When Granny Futian heard this, she said with a smile.

"Legend of the Mermaid?"

"Yeah, you are asking the right person. There are not many people who know this legend. My mother-in-law, I lived in a small fishing village by the sea in Nemuro City when I was a child. There used to be a legend about a mermaid in that area."

"It is said that hundreds of years ago, there was a hidden fishing village in the North Sea. The villagers of the fishing village went fishing one day and caught a mermaid. The mermaid begged the villagers to let her go, and she would give them the blessing of a mermaid."

"But the priests in the village stood up and said that they couldn't let her go, but wanted to eat her. After eating the mermaid, they will no longer get sick or suffer from illness."

"The villagers listened to the words of the priest and ate the mermaid alive. Before she died, the mermaid said in a voice of incomparable resentment, 'I will curse you! I curse you to live forever after eating me!'"

"Curse of immortality?"

Higashino Hirosawa was listening and couldn't help asking.

"Isn't it weird? Haha, you'll know after listening."

Grandma Futian said with a smile.

When she heard the legend of the mermaid for the first time, she felt the same way.

But because of this, she still remembers the story of the mermaid legend very clearly after decades.

"The villagers didn't care about the mermaid's words. They soon discovered that not only would they not get sick, but they could easily recover from falling off a cliff and being seriously injured by weapons, as if they had never been injured."

"This makes the villagers in the fishing village very excited. It means that they no longer have to worry about getting hurt, can do more dangerous work, and earn more money and food."

"However, not everyone in the fishing village has eaten mermaids. There are a few people who, for various reasons, have not been able to eat mermaids. They will still get sick and get injured as in the past."

"These people gradually became more and more jealous of those villagers who ate mermaids. Finally, one day, a young man couldn't help it. He thought that the villagers got their abilities from eating mermaids. He arrested a villager If you eat it, you may also get the same ability."

"After this man made up his mind, he quickly found an opportunity one night and killed an old and frail villager."

"When other villagers found out, the old man had already been killed, and part of his flesh and blood was eaten by the murderer."

"The villagers were furious and wanted to hang the murderer at the stake."

"But unexpectedly, the murderer hurriedly shouted at this time, saying that he was not the murderer, but a dead villager."

"Of course the villagers would not believe it, thinking that the murderer was dying. But unexpectedly, the murderer kept telling a lot of secrets that only he and some parties in the village knew. new body."

"Afterwards, some villagers who couldn't bear their own old body lured young people from outside the village into the village, let the outsiders eat his flesh and blood without knowing it, and then successfully possessed a new body."

"This discovery made the villagers very excited."

"Although I don't know why the mermaids said it was a curse, it does mean that they really can live forever!"

"In the past few years, the village has become much richer than before. But at the same time, they also discovered a very bad thing."

"They have lost their fertility. In the entire fishing village, no woman has been able to conceive for several years."

"They tried to mate with females outside the village, but the result was the same."

"This discovery made the villagers a little uneasy, but the uneasiness was quickly put behind them."

"Can't have children, but that's okay, they are immortal, and the village has no need for offspring."

"But as several people were lured into the village, disappeared and never returned, the surrounding area of ​​the village has been listed as a cursed forbidden area by the outside world, and no one dares to enter the village again."

"The old people in the village want to replace their bodies with young ones, so they can only rob them."

"But even if they can live forever, they won't get sick, and they can recover quickly from injuries, but their combat effectiveness is not much different from ordinary people. If they are beheaded, they will still be killed. Going out to rob people may leading to the destruction of the village."

"In the indecision, time passed quietly. The oldest old man in the village began to lose his strength, and gradually he could only lie on the bed and could not move."

"At first the villagers didn't care, because as long as they found someone outside the village, they could replace the old man with a young body. The old man wouldn't die anyway, just lie on the bed and wait."

"However, no one expected that the old man's aging rate is surprisingly fast. It has been less than a month since he was lying in bed and unable to move, and the old man can no longer eat."

"After being unable to eat, something even more terrifying happened. The old man, who was not sick or in pain, began to feel unprecedented pain. It seemed that the pain that had not been seen in a lifetime came out in an instant!"

"The old man's screams resounded throughout the village, and all the villagers with the ability of immortality felt chills in their hearts when they heard it."

"And this is just the beginning."

"The incomparably intense hunger and pain became more intense every day. The old man even tried his best to seek death, but he still couldn't die."

"I'm so hungry, but I don't have the strength to eat, and I'm in so much pain, but there's no way to relieve it."

"The villagers finally began to feel why the mermaid said it was a curse to live forever."

"They are immortal, but they cannot live without age."

"When they are extremely old and unable to die, every remaining day will be endless torture."

"If no one kills them, this endless torture will last forever."

"In the end, under the pleading eyes of the old man, some villagers chopped off the old man's head. The old man's whole body was drained of blood before he finally died."
