Hello, I am a witch, not an evil god

Two days later.

"That... sorry, you may be the only one on this expedition."

When Ye Shixiang came to the secret society, Kimura Shiro told her the news in embarrassment.

Yes.

Not only deep-sea hunters, even members of the Secret Council, few are willing to land on Stone Statue Island and explore inside.

When Kimura Shiro asked if anyone voluntarily joined the expedition team to go deep into Stone Statue Island, almost everyone was wandering away, and no one answered.

And when Kimura Shiro was about to call people to participate, most of them immediately made excuses that they could not act and needed to ask for leave.

Some even cried and said that there were seniors and young children, and that he suffered from hemorrhoids recently and could not go.

There were even some radicals who said they were determined not to go, and resigned on the spot if it didn't work.

Well, the first two have high EQ, and the latter one has a bit low EQ.

In short, there are various reactions.

The danger of the Abyss Islands has already penetrated into the human form, and the mystery will be more deeply felt,

In Inari's current situation, the secret key-level transcendents are masters per capita, and it is impossible for them to die.

Maybe people who went to the shogunate to find the military might find a few people who were willing to go, but at that time, the Secret Council would not be in charge.

In fact, some people were willing to go, and a few entry-level newcomers asked to go with a look of death.

Their conditions are also very simple. When they go, they must send the money to their families first.

But for an entry-level transcendent, let alone go in and explore, it's still a matter of whether they can pass through the fog.

According to the investigations of the past few days, the mist can only be entered by transcendents above the secret key level, and this level can ignore the withering power on the mist.

If you haven't reached the secret key level, you can only be like those who are dying. After touching the mist, your body slowly turns into dry bones, and finally only a cloud of ashes remains.

So it's not that he doesn't want to let the entry-level ones go. Kimura Shiro also knows that these guys are greedy for those bounties and want to die to make their families live better, but the problem is that they don't let you enter the Stone Statue Island!

and so……

By the end...

Ye Shixiang was the only one.

A one-man expedition.

Originally, Shiro Kimura promised that if she couldn't shake anyone, he would let the people from the Secret Council go with her, but the people from the Secret Council didn't go with her.

But for Ye Shixiang——

"Okay, I'm used to acting alone." Ye Shixiang said, "This is not Dongyuan, other people will only cause trouble for me."

"Haha..." Kimura Shiro laughed awkwardly.

He couldn't refute that.

After boarding the ship, Kimura Shiro and other members of the Secret Council took Ye Shixiang to the research ship, and then gave Ye Shixiang a speedboat.

At last.Shiro Kimura handed Ye Shixiang a walkie-talkie and said, "This can contact us. The scientific research ship has strengthened the signal, and most places should be able to contact us."

Ye Shixiang took the walkie-talkie, nodded, boarded the speedboat without any nonsense, and drove towards Shixiang Island.

"This foreign woman is really not afraid of death." Watching Ye Shixiang go away, one person sighed.

Shiro Kimura immediately straightened his face, "Then what else can we do? Those people are really useless. They are afraid of such a thing. What are they afraid of? We have monitored it well and there is absolutely no problem. But they are afraid of death and dare not go up. To let a foreigner go, really..."

"Isn't it good to let foreigners help us find the way?" One person smiled, without feeling ashamed at all.

Kimura Shiro fell silent.

Indeed, in Inari, such things are very normal, and it is natural to be afraid of death. Although he disagrees, he will not say anything.

------

On Stone Statue Island at this time, there are still traces of the last battle on the beach.

A salvo of 155mm naval guns fired several large craters on the beach. Although they were partially restored by the waves, traces still remained.

The fragments of the observatory still lay quietly on the beach, constantly being washed by the sea.

Ye Shixiang simply observed for a moment, then stopped paying attention, and turned her gaze to the stone statue island.

The reason for her accepting this entrustment is also very simple.

She needs money!

Besides, I just want to see what the legendary Abyss Islands look like.

According to the drifting records of the Abyss Islands, after staying in Inari for more than ten years, the Abyss Islands will drift to the next place.

The next place... will be—

Dongyuan country.

So here she is.

Well, what matters is money.

The Secret Council gave too much.

After finding that no one applied for the job, they increased the bounty all the way up, and by the time she signed up, it had already increased to as much as 500 million Inari coins.

The money will be paid in three installments.

The first payment was made to her account when she set sail.

The second time, after landing on Stone Statue Island, the money will be transferred to her account.

The last transfer will be made when some plant or animal samples are taken from the Stone Statue Island to the scientific research ship after completing the expedition investigation mission.

The investigation task is actually not difficult.

For the initial investigation, the Mystery Council was very conservative and didn't ask for anything, only asked to bring out some samples of animals and plants inside, and survey some nearby areas to see what animals and plants are there, and whether there are any strange beasts.

The entire investigation process will probably end in the evening. At that time, in order to avoid possible dangers at night, it will be required to bring samples back to the research ship.

So Ye Shixiang didn't bring a lot of things, just regular outdoor sports suits, simple tents and compressed biscuits.

Of course, there is also a knife, a Yanling knife named "Thirteen Ling".

"I hope I won't be disappointed here." Ye Shixiang said in a low voice, then walked into the mist.

The fog that weakened most of the power was indeed unable to harm Ye Shixiang at this time, and entered the island very smoothly.

On the scientific research ship, everyone jumped up when they saw Ye Shixiang go in through the telescope.

"The mystery of the Abyss Islands will be revealed by us!"

"Just wait for this foreigner to bring it over, and after we research it, the result will be ours!"

"It turns out that the secret key level can really pass without injury. I thought it was just our speculation."

"It's a pity, this foreign girl is very good-looking, but she should die in the stone statue island. It would be great if she married me."

Kimura Shiro's eyes twitched: "..."

He always felt that these subordinates of his had become a little strange?

But I can't say what it feels like.

Hatred of foreign countries?

Or are there other evil thoughts?

not sure.

His heart raised slightly, and he secretly paid attention to this question.

With enthusiasm, everyone stared at the figure of the young girl in the distance, expecting her to achieve something.

Unfortunately, after entering the mist, they could no longer see Ye Shixiang's figure clearly due to the cover of the mist.

Especially after Ye Shixiang turned around and disappeared into the jungle, she couldn't see anything.

------

According to the request of the Secret Council, after entering the Stone Statue Island, Ye Shixiang first collected samples of the underground soil, followed by the leaves of the nearest unknown tree.

Suddenly, Ye Shixiang noticed a very bright thing.

"Huh? Mushrooms? Fungi should also be included in the collection requirements, right?"

Seeing the bright red and white mushrooms, Ye Shixiang pondered for a moment, then picked them into the sample bag.

Very good, the collection task is almost done, and the next step is to fish and paddle until the evening, and then deliberately mess up the hairstyle and clothes, saying that after going through a tough battle, he can leave.

……

(6/26)

Chapter 104 Emergencies

In the evening, Ye Shixiang returned to the scientific research ship smoothly.

Seeing Ye Shixiang with a bit of grass clippings on her head and messy clothes, Kimura Shiro took the lead in applauding, "Thank you!"

Clap clap clap clap-!

Everyone applauded enthusiastically.

In the case of not having to work by yourself, no one will be stingy to give applause to the workers.

However, Ye Shixiang's reaction to this was very flat, neither flattered nor ecstatic, she watched all this with a blank expression.

Her sixth sense is very strong, and she can feel that except for Shiro Kimura, who is the leader, almost no one has positive feelings for her, and they have more or less evil thoughts.

So she handed the collected samples to Kimura Shiro and said, "Okay, the commission is completed. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Kimura Shiro nodded, "Do you need us to send you?"

"No, thank you." Ye Shixiang shook her head, "I will leave by myself. Of course, if you want to conduct a second investigation, you can come to me at any time."

After a pause, she continued: "I should come back tomorrow to explore the Abyss Islands alone. I will stay here for a while. If there is a need, you can tell me then."

"Okay, no problem, thank you very much." Kimura Shiro said.

Ye Shixiang didn't speak any more, turned around and disembarked from the scientific research ship, and boarded the speedboat.

At this time, someone shouted: "Miss Ye Shixiang, it's almost night now. There are many strange beasts haunting the sea and it's not safe to go back at this time. Why don't you just rest on the boat? I'll go back tomorrow."

Of course, his words were directly ignored by Ye Shixiang.

The girl didn't even stop, she got on the speedboat and left.

Although he left, the people on the scientific research ship still echoed:

"Yeah, it's already night."

"If this lady doesn't mind, I can give you my bed."

"I can do it too!"

"If you don't mind, we can go together."

"..."

Shiro Kimura frowned, and said in a low voice, "Shut up!"

All fell silent.

Shiro Kimura said angrily, "Is this what you guys said? Miss Ye Shixiang is an extraordinary person with the secret key level 3 treasure. I think you all want to court death, right?"

Fortunately, what they said was not heard by Ye Shixiang who had left the scientific research ship, otherwise, it would not have been so easy to pass.

"What's the matter with you?" Shiro Kimura's eyes showed a cold look, "Where's the usual politeness? Why did everyone become so hooligan?"

Everyone was silent, bowed their heads and did not speak.

Because he couldn't find out who started it, Kimura Shiro could only take a deep breath, and said with a cold snort: "Okay, go back to your post and work. I hope you can study this batch of samples thoroughly as soon as possible."

"understand!"

Everyone responded at the same time.

After handing over the samples to the researchers, Kimura Shiro no longer paid attention, but started to make arrangements elsewhere.
