Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 1691 1691 [The mermaid bravely rescues the strange thief] Ask for a monthly pass ()

  The translucent mermaid floated beside Kidd, covered her lips and yawned. She was idly thinking about how slow human swimming is, when she turned around, she suddenly found that the strange thief had disappeared.

  The mermaid was stunned, and her eyes fell on the string of bubbles on the water: "?"

  ...The phantom thief will never give up.

  She also wanted to see the fighting spirit of contemporary young people, and this is the result?

  The mermaid sighed, shook her head, and plunged into the water.

  …

   Kidd paddled the water with great effort, but still sank all the way. Just when he thought that he would appear in the image of "Kudo Shinichi's corpse" next time he appeared on the news, his arm suddenly tightened.

  In the dim night, a hand grabbed him, pulled him out of the water, and dragged him forward.

   "Cough cough cough!"

  Kidd was dizzy, and after a while, his blurred vision gradually recovered.

   Then he discovered that he was actually rescued—the hero who descended from the sky was holding him with one hand and paddling with the other. He obviously didn't paddle very seriously, but he swam so fast that it felt like he was dreaming.

  He looked to the side under the not-so-bright moonlight, and was surprised to see that the rescuer was not the "uncle lifeguard who happened to pass by" in his imagination, but a slender woman.

  The waves that had hindered him just now were extremely gentle in front of this woman, just like a group of licking dogs embracing her forward. Kidd also gained some light because of this, so he didn't have to continue to struggle with the sea water in pain.

   Kidd's eyes moved slightly, and fell on the woman's face. When he saw the blurred outline, his face blushed: "..." So beautiful.

but…

  Why does it look familiar?

  At this time, a wave of water happened to pass by, and the hair on the side of the woman was blown away by the water. Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed across Kidd's sight. His eyes froze, and he saw a crystal-like scale next to the woman's ear, quietly lying on the white skin.

   There are not many scales, just two or three independent ones. At first glance, it looks like a piece of crystal earrings wetted by water and attached to the face.

very beautiful. But Kidd suddenly thumped in his heart, and he found that the ears of this "benefactor" seemed to be sharper than normal people, like an elf, with clear marine ornaments hanging on the edges.

  ... This beautiful but fancy, mysterious accessory suddenly reminded Kidd of a foggy dog ​​flying around in a cumbersome ancient costume.

and…

   Kidd: "…"

  He is very afraid of fish, and even more afraid of fish scales. Fortunately, the thing next to the woman's ear is more like a gem than those fishy scales. But this does not prevent Kidd from thinking of one thing because of the keyword "scale".

  —This beautiful sister swims so fast.

   Is this really human speed?

   And this face, doesn't it... a little familiar? ?

  A terrifying thought flashed through his mind. Kidd's eyes moved back little by little, stiffly. Just when a wave came in, a huge fish tail that was half the length of a human suddenly bent behind the beauty. That streamlined beautiful tail lightly patted on the water, and the two jumped out a long way, and they were getting closer and closer to the shore.

  However, Kidd no longer cared about the coast. He felt like he had been splashed with two buckets of worms in a confined space, and his whole body suddenly became stiff.

  ... fish fish fish... fish!

  Help! !

  …

The mermaid was dragging the limp person forward, when suddenly, the dead fish-like person in his hand straightened up, shook off her hand, and swam desperately to the other side, as fast as two motors attached to his arms, booming Breaking the water and moving forward, it seems that it has surpassed the limit of human beings.

  Miss Mermaid was startled, then nodded in satisfaction: This swimming speed is only decent now. It's a pity that his physical strength has kept up, but his brain is a bit weak-why is he swimming back? The coast is not there.

  Recalling the energy core that Kidd usually contributed, the mermaid dived into the water and chased after him after hiding his merit and fame.

  …

  Kidd looked back, but he didn't see the shadow of the fish, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

  However, when he turned his head, he just let go of his heart, and suddenly mentioned Tianling Gai - there was an extra person in front of him at some point, and the mermaid kept a distance of about one meter from him and swam, facing him.

  The wet woman floated out of the sea, raised her hands to straighten her messy hair, slightly parted her red lips, and whispered a word to him in a soft voice like a sea monster.

  As a gentleman’s phantom thief, when he sees this pleasing scenery, even if Kidd is surrounded by a group of policemen, he will respond politely, so as to leave a sufficiently elegant image.

  But now, thinking of the nightmarish fishtail under the beauty, he froze for two seconds, then suddenly turned to the other side, and with the silent screams and shouts in his heart, he rushed out again at the speed of a yacht.

  ...Unfortunately, I still didn't swim right. This time I swam along the direction parallel to the coast, and I couldn't get to the shore even if I swam to the end of the world.

  Mermaid: "..." He said he swam wrong, why didn't he listen? It seems that magicians really can't understand ghosts, and different species really affect communication... Fortunately, besides dialogue, there is a very common way of communication - body language.

   While muttering, she easily caught up with Kidd.

   Then before the other party turned in panic again, he gave Kidd a tail knife suddenly.

  Afterwards, the mermaid picked up the dizzy thief with mosquito coils in his eyes, and diligently dragged him to the coast. She is very satisfied with the efficiency of communication.

  …

  The mermaid's tail is not for killing people, and this time, there is not much clay to make up her, and the strength of the puppet is not high.

   So it didn't take long for Kidd to wake up.

  He was floating in the waves, and he caught a glimpse of the woman next to him from the corner of his eye, and immediately closed his eyes again: "..." It's a nightmare, such a big fish must be a nightmare!

   Before the chaotic thoughts in his head could be straightened out, there was a sudden weight behind him, and the mermaid pushed him ashore.

   There was a sound of water breaking.

  The nearby rescuers were immediately alarmed: "Who?! Did someone fall into the water? Where are you!"

   Kidd's eyes were straightened, but he didn't make a sound.

  The flashlight flashed over quickly, and the rescuers quickly approached, when they suddenly felt that there was something in the water. But upon closer inspection, there was nothing there.

  Maybe it's the sound of the waves crashing. The rescuers didn't think about it anymore, and quickly lifted the high school student who fell into the sea for some unknown reason, and brought him back to the ambulance.

  …

  Kidd got into the car and got away from the coast. After finally waking up from the nightmare just now, he breathed a sigh of relief.

  Kidd: "..." Although he came back to his senses, he was very grateful to the mermaid who rescued him, but if it happened again...he might still choose to drown.

  …Such a fish tail, so long!

  How can there be such a terrible thing in the world!

  At this time, wrapped in a thermal blanket, and recalling the joy of flying in mid-air before, Kidd was in a very complicated mood.
