Hattori Heiji was muttering to himself, secretly cheering himself up, when suddenly, he heard a frightened scream coming from upstairs.
Hearing the screams, Conan, Hattori Heiji, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki all changed their expressions and became solemn:
"This voice seems to be...Mr. Kume?"
"What happened?"
"Damn it! Is the murderer really hiding upstairs?"
"..."
Conan, Hattori Heiji, and Koshizui Nanatsuki looked at each other, and they all ran towards the second floor with cold expressions on their faces——
You know, the three of them are all famous detectives!
If that murderer really dared to kill people under their noses, that would be really...
Unforgivable! !
…
At around 8:30 in the evening, on the sea near Ghost Turtle Island.
On the dark sea, the waves are surging, and some silvery light occasionally lights up under the stars. A small rubber boat floats on the sea, like a small fallen leaf, wandering gently.
Suddenly, with the sound of "swipe", a figure jumped out of the sea. Holding the edge of the rubber boat with both hands, with a slight exertion, it jumped out of the sea and landed on the rubber boat, revealing a fish covered with scales. The lower body——
This figure is none other than Shimabukuro Kimie’s younger sister, the merman Masae!
Yahui shook her hair vigorously, then held her hair with both hands, looking at the bottom of the sea with fear and disbelief:
"It's strange, how did this secret realm become like this? It was so beautiful and beautiful before, how could it be now..."
Yahui was thinking wildly in her mind when suddenly a shadow appeared in the sea water, and a crab that seemed to be made entirely of dense fog jumped out, waving its smoke-like pliers and slashed towards Yahui's tail.
Yahui let out a soft cry when she saw this, and then flicked her tail violently. Some water droplets flew up from the sea, and the void condensed into a water knife, cutting the smoke crab into two pieces and dissipating.
After getting rid of the crab, Yahui just breathed a sigh of relief, and then she saw another weird shrimp popping up next to her, and there were more and more weird "things" on the surrounding sea.
Yahui cursed "Damn it" in her heart, and after scanning her surroundings, she landed on Ghost Turtle Island, her eyes shining slightly:
"...There don't seem to be these ghosts on the island. It's better to go there and hide first. In addition, tell Lord Yunwen all this and let Lord Yunwen think of a solution..."
Thinking about this, Yahui stirred the sea water with her tail and quickly rushed to the beach of Ghost Turtle Island. After looking around again, her expression changed drastically:
"Wait! What's going on? These weird things seem..."
"...Is it rushing ashore?!"
…
It was around 8:30 in the evening, inside the Dafu Hotel.
Shu Yunwen and Tsukamoto Sumi looked at Kaneshiro Hyōgo with surprised expressions: "...the legend of Urashima Taro? Of course we have heard of it...but why are you talking about this legend all of a sudden?"
By the way, the so-called legend of Urashima Taro is actually that after a Japanese fisherman rescued a sea turtle, the sea turtle took Urashima Taro to the Sea Dragon Palace to express its gratitude, and lived a life of delicacies and delicacies.
Not long after, Urashima Taro missed his parents and relatives at home, so he did not listen to the dragon girl's advice, and left the Sea Dragon Palace with the box that the dragon girl warned must not be opened. Only to find that his hometown had changed, and then opened the box that must never be opened. When he opened the box, he instantly became an old man.
Later, I don't know which mentally retarded person had the problem, so I added an educational meaning to this story: "You must cherish your time, and you must not be greedy for pleasure, waste time, and regret it when you are old."
In fact, according to Shu Yunwen's opinion, if the legend of Urashima Taro is true, then he has most likely entered the legendary secret realm of fragments where the flow of time is different from the outside world.
That kind of secret realm is the real Canghai Cangtian. Even powerful monks who enter it will die of old age when they come out——
Some people mistakenly think that these secret realms are fairyland on earth where "one day in the sky and one year on the earth" are where immortals live. In fact, all monks know that that place is a pit!
Anyone who encounters it will be trapped in it until death. It is simply unlucky!
Shu Yunwen recalled the relevant records in the family inheritance in his mind, and Jin Chengyougo said: "That's because my ancestors once encountered something similar to Urashima Taro, but it was different..."
"Huh? What did you say? Something like Taro Urashima?"
What the hell! Are you really afraid you're kidding me?
Jin Chengyougo's ancestors encountered similar things... So, is there a similar secret realm near here?
Shu Yunwen looked stunned, and Kaori Aso next to him asked in surprise: "But... Urashima Taro, isn't that a legend?"
After Aso Kaeli finished speaking, Luyili Ai immediately said quietly: "...the so-called legends are exaggerated and distorted stories formed by ordinary people based on some strange things that happened or spread in the local area, and after a certain degree of beautification and processing. That’s all. In my opinion, the legend of Urashima Taro is probably caused by people like the slayer, right?"
Shu Yunwen said "uh" and didn't know how to answer. Jin Chengyougo said softly: "...I don't know this very well. However, from the stories passed down orally by my ancestors, there are really things in the sea near Okinawa. A sea dragon palace and a dragon girl..."
Listening to Jincheng Bingwu's words, Shu Yunwen couldn't help but cough slightly and said: "What about... Mr. Jincheng, can you please tell me what happened to your ancestors?"
"Um, okay."
Kaneshiro Hyougo nodded, organized his words, and spoke softly: "... That incident happened about three hundred years ago... My ancestor is named Kaneshiro Takeo, and he is a hard-working fisherman, but because there are many people in his family, He was poor, so he had not married and had children by the age of twenty. Then one day, his ancestor suddenly disappeared while he was out fishing. Nearly two months later, he was returned to the island by a big turtle, and he also brought back a lot of gold. Silver treasure..."
"...The people in the village were very surprised to see the gold and silver treasures, so they asked my ancestors, and then my ancestors told them that he was taken to the bottom of the sea by a big turtle and entered the legendary Sea Dragon Palace, the Dragon Girl in the Dragon Palace Tell him that he can trade his lifespan for gold and silver, so he trades one year of his lifespan..."
"Then, everyone on the island went crazy and started going to the Dragon Palace one by one to find the Dragon Girl and sell their lifespans..."
When Shu Yunwen heard this, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he couldn't help but ask: "...Wait! Mayor Jincheng Town, I want to ask, did your ancestors say that when these people sell their life span..."
"You have to touch a specific thing?!"
