People are in Tokyo, there is a wishing machine

"The death of the old man greatly stimulated the rest of the villagers."

"One-third of them will walk in the footsteps of old people within ten years."

"The villagers decided not to wait any longer. But simple deception could not fool many people into the village. The villagers decided to sneak attack a nearby village and kill all the old people, leaving only the young people."

"A nearby village was targeted by them. They rushed into the village in the middle of the night. Because they were not afraid of being injured, most of the villagers in the village were killed by them. The remaining young people stayed and let the old people People, start changing bodies collectively.”

"After this replacement, they can live in peace for decades."

"Decades later, not many people remember this village anymore, and they can come again at that time."

"The plan was good, but when dozens of villagers changed their bodies at the same time, things changed dramatically."

"The body replacement was not 100% successful. After they let the captured villagers eat their flesh and blood, not all of them successfully changed to the new body!"

"At least half of the villagers suddenly lost consciousness when they were about to succeed, and their bodies underwent drastic changes!"

"Their bodies began to grow crazily and savagely, and in the blink of an eye they turned into lumps of ugly monsters like mountains of meat!"

"What's more, these monsters will attack them crazily and eat them in their stomachs!"

"That night, the villagers in the fishing village suffered heavy casualties, and most of the villagers died in the monster's attack."

"Not only that, those monsters also started chasing them crazily. No matter where they fled, those monsters would follow them by looking for their scent."

"In the process, the villagers in the fishing village also tried to kill these Roshan monsters. Although it is very difficult, the Roshan monsters can be killed."

"However, during this process, more and more villagers were devoured and died by monsters. Slowly, their numbers were no longer able to kill any Roshan monster."

"The villagers died one by one, and the last person in the fishing village was forced to the edge of a seaside cliff."

"The last person is none other than the original priest."

"The priest knew for a long time that she couldn't survive. She deliberately brought the Roshan monsters to the edge of the cliff, and wanted to die with these Roshan monsters."

"It all started with her greed. Because of her greed, the fishing village no longer exists."

"The curse that started with the sea should end with the sea."

"More than a dozen Roshan monsters approached, and the priest jumped into the sea, and those Roshan monsters also jumped down."

"Since then, that sea area has returned to calm, and there are no more people."

"This is the mermaid legend."

The story of the legend of the mermaid is not long, and Grandma Futian finished it in a short time.

"The villagers in those fishing villages are too hateful. They killed Miss Mermaid and killed so many innocent people!"

It wasn't the first time Uzuki heard it, and after listening to it, he still clenched his fists and said angrily.

Miss mermaid, I don't know how beautiful she is, but she was killed and eaten by those villagers!
It's so nasty!

"So those villagers were punished."

Yayoi Asakusa said.

When she heard this story when she was a child, she also had the same reaction as Uzuki.

But now that I have grown up, I just listen to it as a fable.

"Grandma Fukuda, is this a legend that only locals in Nemuro City know?"

Higashino Hirosawa thought for a while and asked.

Nemuro City, in his memory, is a very remote seaside city in the northeast of Hokkaido.

"Not many people in Nemuro City know about it, basically only people in the seaside fishing villages around me have heard of it. After all, this is not a good story. It is not a good thing for us who live in the seaside fishing village to spread the word. , so after we have heard it, we will all be told not to mention it to outsiders."

Grandma Futian shook her head.

When she was a child, the fishing village over there was very poor, and she could only make a living by selling fish. If this kind of story spread, it would affect other people's perception of their fishing village, and they might not buy their fish.

Now that the entire fishing village has moved into the city long ago, and the fishing village no longer exists, she can speak out without any scruples.

Now that decades have passed, Grandma Futian probably doesn't have many people who still remember this story.

A few people played with Xiao Qianhe at Grandma Fukuda's house for a while, and the Asakusa sisters took Xiao Qianhe to take a bath.

Higashino Hirosawa returned to the room alone, thinking about the mermaid legend told by Granny Fukuda.

After careful comparison, the mermaid legend is very consistent with the currently known clues.

If the story is true, Saten Tsuruya is likely to be the priestess.

According to the story in the mermaid legend, every time you change your body, there should be a chance to fail and become an ugly Roshan monster.

Ordinary villagers in the fishing village, even if they escaped from the pursuit of the Roshan monster by chance, it is impossible for them to live from hundreds of years ago to the present.

Only Saten Tsuruya, who was a priest, did not die for some reason after jumping into the sea, and found a way to replace his body with a high probability, so he has lived until now.

But this is only a possibility, Saten Tsuruya may not be related to the mermaid legend.

Hirosawa Higashino turned on the computer and searched for more information online.

First of all, he searched for the name of Saten Tsuruya. Not surprisingly, he did not find any results.

There is a high probability that Saten Tsuruya is her real name. After changing the body, it is naturally impossible to use this name again, but will use the name of the body owner.

Then he searched for the license plate number, again without any results.

He did find a few legends about changing bodies.

However, except for the stories that were obviously made up by some people on the Internet, the other few were almost all stories about the upper body of evil spirits.

The mermaid legend told by Grandma Futian can't be found on the Internet. It seems that very few people know it.

After thinking about it, Hiroze Higashino began to search for news about the disappearance of a large number of outstanding young men and women, or sudden changes in personality, especially athletes with excellent physical fitness, which became the focus of Hiroze Higashino's attention.

If it is not only Saten Tsuruya himself who can change his body, but high-level figures can do it, then there are not a few outstanding young men and women who have disappeared or changed suddenly.

This search took Higashino Hirosawa half an hour.

Few young men and women who meet the requirements are missing, but most of them are accidents, and their bodies can be found in the end.

There are very few people with major personality changes, and after a major personality change, they often end up degrading into ordinary people, and do not become better in other fields.

But these two search results can only be used as a reference and cannot explain too much.

Take the outstanding young people who have disappeared, for those who have the ability to replace their bodies, it is not difficult to make fake corpses by means, especially in the past when technology was not yet developed.

What Higashino Hirosawa really wants to investigate is the current and past Japanese congressmen.

Although Japanese parliamentarians are elected, they are not hereditary.

But in fact, it is almost the same as hereditary.

Those who can become members of parliament are almost all from big families that are tied to local forces. These big families represent the interests of local forces. If the father retires, the son will be elected.

It is almost impossible for ordinary self-made people to become a member of parliament.

Higashino Hirosawa wanted to check on these self-made congressmen to see if there were many or not. Their experience was not suspicious.

After all, those who have the ability to change their bodies can never be willing to be ordinary people.

Hirozawa Higashino made a careful investigation and found that, except for the self-made ordinary councilors in the past ten years, in the past, when the transmission of information was still relatively backward, almost all the councilors came from major family forces.

These self-made men are all in the affluent Tokyo or Kyoto areas.

Obviously, if it weren't for the increasingly networked propaganda methods in recent years, ordinary people would simply not be able to compete with those big families.

"In this way, Saten Tsuruya may indeed be the only person who can change bodies."

After a comprehensive analysis of the search results, Hiroze Higashino felt that this might be a big deal.

Then he only needs to stare at Saten Tsuruya, and the pressure is greatly reduced.

"Speaking of which, is Yayoi Asakusa the perfect candidate for Saten Tsuruya?"

Hirozawa Higashino thought of this when he searched for news about the disappearance of young people.

He didn't know Saten Tsuruya's specific selection criteria.

But simply judging from the information disclosed in the commission, what Saten Tsuruya needs is a healthy female body full of vitality.

Yayoi Asakusa seems to be very suitable.
