Conan's Corpse Picker

Jiang Xia pretended not to understand, and took her struggling movement as a nod.

Although it is relatively remote here, there are still people passing by occasionally, kneeling on the ground to communicate with the mermaid, it will be a bit strange to be seen.

Jiang Xia let go of the mermaid, stood up, then grabbed the mermaid ghost's tail, carried the new ghost on his shoulder, and walked to a more remote place.

On the way, Jiang Xia heard Xiaobai muttering and grabbing his ears to complain—the mermaid took the opportunity to bite him a few times.

Fortunately, no matter how strong it looks, ghosts have very weak influence on real objects when there is no energy source.

At most, it's just a bit itchy from being bitten on the back.

Jiang Xia went to the back of the house, put the mermaid down, and tried to start a friendly communication again.

But the mermaid didn't seem to care about him.

The mermaid ghost in front of him was obviously influenced by the legend just like Wu Tiangou.

But the difference is that not only has her appearance changed, but her temper seems to be more irritable than before.

Jiang Xia studied for a while the mermaid that was staring at him tightly and trying to bite him, and then glanced at the Wutian dog floating beside him, curiously reaching out to stroke the fish's tail... It is also a ghost, why is the Wutian dog so honest .

Could it be that the power of the monk dilutes the murderous intent?

Jiang Xia was worried for a while at the fish that was flopping and refusing to communicate.

However, being a ghost fetus means having a certain IQ and some memories of life.

Jiang Xia thought about it, and decided to let her recognize the status quo first.

Judging from the approximate time when the ghost was formed, Jiang Xia felt that this should be Naoko Shimabukuro who was burned to death in the warehouse as a mermaid three years ago.

He then began to whisper the devil: "Your daughter is going to die."

The mermaid struggled for a while.

Jiang Xia looked at the situation and found it effective: "The Mermaid Festival will be gone soon."

The mermaid slowly raised its ears, and the crystal-clear bony earrings moved.

Jiang Xia continued: "Without the Mermaid Festival, this island is probably going to be cold."

The mermaid showed her fangs angrily, and seemed to want to bite him again, but after all she understood what Jiang Xia meant, hesitated for a moment, and closed her mouth unwillingly.

Jiang Xia is satisfied - as expected, they can communicate normally.

For such less well-behaved ghosts, it is necessary to negotiate a condition in advance, and this condition itself will be a restriction—at that time, as long as the psychic master fulfills the requirements of the ghost, even if the ghost has other obsessions in his heart, You must also become "willing" in accordance with the previously agreed requirements.

The mermaid glanced at Jiang Xia hesitantly, lost in thought.

Mermaids also have their own plans.

The more vague and broad the wish, the easier it is to be exploited.She worried that if she made the request of "the mermaid festival should exist forever", the cunning psychic might ignore the affairs on the island, but create a festival called "mermaid festival" by himself, every year, or even every N years. Hold one until the end of the contract.

And if the conditions are too restrictive, such as "the mermaid festival on this mermaid island must be held every year in the same scale and form as it is now"... the psychic master may not agree to such an endless and demanding request.

As a ghost, the mermaid also has some instinctive premonitions about the psychic. She knows that Jiang Xia is not unable to forcibly collect ghosts, but she is willing to go through the process of "dispelling obsessions" only to ensure the best results.

And if the request she makes is more troublesome than the psychic medium can bear, maybe at that time, she will not even be qualified to make a deal—at that time, for the psychic medium, the loss is just a defective one. Taste.But for her, if the psychic teacher is forced to rush, the ghost life will be directly ruined...

The mermaid thought carefully about what she was going to do, and gradually showed her murderous intent—she wanted Jiang Xia to kill the three who set the fire.

In the mermaid's view, once the person who set the fire died, the current "fate" Junhui Shimabukuro would no longer be the target of hatred, so naturally he would not become a murderer.In this way, the shrine will be inherited, the festivals on the island can continue, and the island can still rely on tourism for a long time. She believes that her daughter will not let her down.

In addition, there is a little selfishness: those three people were the murderers who burned her to death, and she wanted revenge.

If it were Naoko Shimabukuro who was alive, she would not be able to make such a request easily.

But after experiencing the despair that was consumed by the fire, her thoughts were not so firm.Not to mention the influence of the surrounding legends on her after her death-the "mermaid" that is widely rumored in this area has never been a kind fish who only wants to give and refuses to murder others.It is a demon god who will ruthlessly bring disasters because believers doubt her power or lose her tokens.

However, under the expectant gaze of the mermaid, Jiang Xia did not immediately agree to this request.

The psychic didn't seem very happy: "Let me kill someone?"

Killing someone with your own hands is a little risky for a psychic.

Especially in this strange world where everyone has a lot of obsessions, it would be troublesome if some boss-level soul that turned black after death was killed and erased.

Jiang Xia didn't say it directly, but looked at the mermaid: "You seem to resent those three people very much. Since your obsession is so big, why don't you do it yourself?"

The mermaid was stunned, and gently stroked the scales on her face, feeling a little moved.

But soon she frowned again, and the wide fish tail patted the ground, and the thin dead leaves under the tail didn't move at all—it was difficult for her to affect reality.

Chapter 207 Eat Less

Jiang Xia's eyes fell on her flapping tail, and she unconsciously remembered the touch when she caught the mermaid just now - this tail is cold and not sticky, it feels like a washed and dried iced watermelon, if It's summer, so it's definitely better to hold it in your hand.

It's just that this kind of rare ghost fetus, which is as big as a human being, will definitely eat a lot of murderous aura at ordinary times.

But such a big ghost is still so beautiful, even if it consumes a lot, he still wants it very much, at worst, he usually throws it in the tattoo space for stocking...

The mermaid inexplicably has a feeling of being targeted, the person who can give her this feeling...

Her ears moved slightly, and she stared at Jiang Xia suspiciously.

Jiang Xia recovered and continued the topic just now. He touched the mermaid's big tail and said seriously: "You don't have to worry about this - as long as you agree to my request just now, I will help you. However, you can't kill me Too straightforward, it better be some 'accident' for your island and shrine."

……

That night, several high school students checked into the hotel on Mermaid Island.

As soon as Jiang Xia lay down, he felt something outside the window. He sat up and found the mermaid sticking to the window, staring at him quietly.

...so impatient.

Jiang Xia turned over and got out of bed, and took out a sprig of ghost mint.The tip of the mermaid's nose moved slightly, sniffed the scent, then entered the room through the window, and floated to Jiang Xia's hand curiously and eagerly.

Jiang Xia pressed the hand of the lighter for a while, and whispered: "Don't eat too much, just enough to move."

The mermaid stared straight at Ghost Mint, and a suspicious crystal liquid flickered across the corner of its mouth.She reservedly raised her hand to wipe it, then patted Jiang Xia with the tip of her tail, silently urging.

Jiang Xia took one last look at her Ghost Mint, sighed, and lit it.

I hope that the murderous aura consumed by the mermaid can be smaller and smaller like other normal ghost fetuses...

……

Shimabukuro took Saori home, stayed with her for a while, and then left.

Saori Kamenori closed the door, and her restless mood relaxed again.

Just now Shimabukuro Junhui talked with her for a while, and then, she might find that she was genuinely panicked, and the kind priestess finally reluctantly agreed to her request.

——Shimabukuro Junhui said that she would try to ask for another dugong arrow from her grandma, and when it was ready, she would call her to get it, so she didn't have to worry.

This brought great comfort to Menri Shazhi, who always felt that she would be killed by the mermaid in the next second after throwing away the arrow—finally the crisis of life was resolved.

She sat up and planned to take a shower.

However, when she walked into the bathroom and was about to turn on the water, she was surprised to find that the bathtub was already full of water.

Menri Shazhi approached suspiciously, thinking that she forgot to drain the water after taking a shower last time, she reached into the water, trying to pull out the plug under the bathtub.

However, when his hand reached into the water, he failed to touch the rubber stopper, but instead pressed a cold and smooth entity.

Immediately afterwards, Menli Shazhi felt a sharp pain in her hand. She shuddered and withdrew her hand suddenly, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed—a mermaid appeared out of nowhere in the bathtub. The mermaid was covered with wet hair, With a long fishtail trailing behind her, the slender hand bones were clasped in her hands, and she grinned ferociously at Menri Shazhi.

The weaving of door rib gauze is like falling into an ice cave for a moment.

Her legs went limp, and she sat on the ground with her mouth wide open, trembling so much that she couldn't even cry out.But just when she was about to faint, a blur suddenly appeared in front of her eyes—the mermaid disappeared as quietly as it appeared.

Men Lishazhi narrowly escaped death, and she fell into a puddle of water, unable to recover for a long while.

Saori Kadori slowly got up and looked nervously into the bathtub.The water in the bathtub is clean and clear, and there is nothing in it.

Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.

When something like this happened, Saori Kadori lost the intention of taking a bath for a while, and turned around to go to the shrine to find Junhui Shimabukuro, urging her to give her the arrow quickly.

However, as soon as she turned around, she happened to see a slender hand with transparent bone ornaments on the joints enlarged in front of her. There was a burst of coolness - if she hadn't turned around suddenly just now, she suspected that the mermaid's hand must have been firmly inserted into her neck.

The bloody picture made up in her brain made Meng Lishazhi "buzz" in her head. She let out a broken scream, smashed open the bathroom window, and fled outside.

The mermaid ghost looked at her back and let out a pleasant cold snort.

Then she scattered the puppet materials that Jiang Xia temporarily lent her, and happily floated to the next place to catch up.

The mermaid didn't waste her murderous energy like Jiang Xia worried about before.It has been floating on the island for three years, and has never eaten such delicious food, so when she eats murderous Qi, she instinctively nibbles on it in small bites, and wants to eat it for a longer time, so it is naturally quite frugal to use it - use it slowly , the murderous aura can exist in the body for a while longer, she likes the feeling of being full of power.

The mermaid thought of those delicious murderous looks, couldn't help it?Changed the previous idea that "being subdued by a psychic is a disgrace".

——Although she is regarded as a demon god by the islanders, when you think about it carefully, she is actually just a ghost.

As a new ghost who was born less than three years ago, it seemed that it was not unbearable to run to hug the psychic master's thigh.

And she secretly looked at Jiang Xia's luggage before, Jiang Xia brought several boxes of such delicious ghost mint... Even if she can't eat it, it's a wonderful thing to watch beside them...

……

Kaori Saori finally failed to get to the shrine as he wished.

There is a river between her house and the shrine.And just as she reached the river, she saw the mermaid appear on the bridge.

The mermaid who came to seek her life seemed to be able to appear in any nearby place at will. Shazhi Menli gradually lost her ability to think in horror, and was chased by the mermaid and ran away. In the end, she tripped and fell into the sea in embarrassment.

Menli Saori fell down in the knee-deep sea water, terrified to the extreme—in various legends, the sea is regarded as the home of mermaids, and she had escaped death on the shore just now, but now she fell into the sea...

However, in despair, Menli Shazhi was surprised to find that the mermaid did not step forward to tear her apart.

Instead, it stopped at the shore.

The mermaid stood on the beach with her tail half up, staring at her coldly, but didn't move forward.

Even, Menli Shazhi found that whenever the sea tide rushed towards the mermaid, she would curl the tip of her tail slightly in disgust to avoid the sea wave.

Menli Shazhi was taken aback, and a word came to mind.

Freshwater fish?

No, no, it shouldn't be for this reason, how can mermaids be afraid of seawater...

Since it's not because of sea water, then...
