As soon as she was immersed in the water, Shimabukuro's body instinctively turned into a mermaid form. At the same time, she found that she was more comfortable than ever before, as if she was back in her mother's arms. This was a feeling she had never felt before.
However, she did not immerse herself too much in this sense of comfort. Instead, she swam to the back of the waterfall. She found that Ye Siyu had disappeared. She just thought that Ye Siyu came to the back of the waterfall to look for something, but now there was no sign of anyone.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Shimabukuro Kimie felt something attracting her above the waterfall, which made her want to look for it.
Swinging its tail, Shimabukuro Kimie discovered that the waterfall rushing down had no resistance at all, as if it was no different from an ordinary pool.
Seeing this, Shimabukuro Kimie immediately went upstream to find the thing that attracted him.
As soon as she swam to the middle of the waterfall, she discovered that there was an entrance behind the waterfall that could only accommodate one person, and the aura that attracted her was emanating from this entrance.
Shimabukuro Kimie took a deep breath, suppressed the fear of the unknown in her heart, flicked her tail, and dived directly into the entrance.
Because of the location of the entrance, the water from the waterfall will pour into the channel, polishing the stones in the channel very smooth and filling it with water, allowing even Shimabukuro Kimie in her mermaid form to Swim in easily.
The passage was very long. According to Shimabukuro Kimie's estimation, it was at least a hundred meters long and had nine twists and turns. She swam for nearly three minutes before reaching the end of the passage. It was a dim cave. If she hadn't turned into The Mermaid Queen can see through the dark night, she can see absolutely nothing.
"How come there is such a cave on the island?" Shimabukuro Kimie looked at the environment in front of her in shock.
The American Island is not big, and the residents who have lived here all year round have long been familiar with it. They know everything about it, but they also know what caves there are on the island. This is the first time she has seen this cave.
"Why did you come in too?" At this time, a voice came into Shimabukuro Kimie's ears, scaring her so much that she retreated into the water.
Only then did she realize that there was another person besides her in the cave, it was Ye Siyu who had disappeared before.
"Sir?" Shimabukuro Junhui said in surprise. She didn't expect that Ye Siyu was also in this cave, but it was right to think about it. Ye Siyu disappeared from the waterfall, so it wouldn't be surprising to appear in the cave leading to the waterfall.
Ye Siyu nodded, then turned his head back.
"Sir, where is this place?" Shimabukuro Kime asked.
"The real mermaid grave." Ye Siyu said lightly, while pointing forward.
Following Ye Siyu's hand, Shimabukuro Kimi was stunned, and then unconsciously walked out of the pool connected to the cave.
I saw more than a dozen skeletons on the floor of the cave that Ye Siyu pointed to. The upper bodies of these skeletons were no different from ordinary humans, but the lower bodies were not leg bones. They were all fish tail structures. Obviously, these skeletons were all mermaid skeletons.
There were scales scattered around these skeletons. The blurry colors exuded on these scales ranged from dim to bright. Ye Siyu could feel the energy contained on them, which was exactly the same as the energy Ye Siyu had felt under the waterfall before. It looked like this It is the source of energy.
"Is this true?" Shimabukuro Kimi walked to Ye Siyu and asked.
"Did you come in without any pants?" Ye Siyu glanced at Shimabukuro Kime and discovered that except for the bra on her upper body, she had nothing to cover her body.
"Ah!" Ye Siyu's words woke up Shimabukuro Kimi. Only then did she realize that she was not wearing clothes. After screaming, she ran back to the water with her hands covered.
Ye Siyu smiled when he saw this and didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he looked at the pile of mermaid skeletons. He could feel that there was an item emitting strong energy fluctuations among the skeletons. Its energy intensity was as follows Dozens of times the scales combined.
If these scales are barely close to extraordinary items, then that item is already an extraordinary item. If it is not suppressed by the rules of this world, in other worlds with looser rules, according to Ye Siyu's inference, it will be at least a planet-level item. thing.
Raising his right hand, the mermaid scales were separated one by one by the power of thought, and a drop-shaped gem appeared, covering the originally dark cave with a layer of blue water ripples.
"Mermaid tears?" This was the first thing Ye Siyu thought of when seeing this gem.
No matter what world it is in, there are only a few treasures that can be obtained from mermaids, such as mermaid tears, mermaid flesh, and mermaid scales, the most precious of which are mermaid tears.
Said to be tears, they are actually the essence of life condensed after the mermaid's death.
It's just that the requirements for condensation are extremely high. Not even one of a hundred mermaids may be able to condense a drop.
With a move of his right hand, the mermaid's tears fell into Ye Siyu's hand, and at the same time, there was a slight change on the task prompt panel that had remained unchanged.
[Unknown plane multiverse level single universe]
[Special mission: Leave to collect enough world sources to leave this plane]
【Progress 0001】
Seeing the changes in the mission panel, Ye Siyu's face showed a hint of joy. After searching for so long, he finally found a way to obtain the origin of the world.
Although such an item only provides as little as 0001 of the origin of the world, it also points out the direction for Ye Siyu. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that he has found the beginning, the next step will be simple. As long as Ye Siyu follows this line, then he can Find what you want to know.
"Sir, what is that?" Shimabukuro Junhui, who was hiding in the water, asked, staring at the mermaid tears in Ye Siyu's hand. She felt a sense of intimacy from the gem-like thing, and she wanted to get it.
"Mermaid tears." Ye Siyu also felt Shimabukuro Kime's desire, but he would not give it to the other party. He put the mermaid tears into his pocket and waved again to the fish scales on the ground, which still had energy left. The scales were collected by it.
Although these scales do not reach the level of extraordinary items, this is only in this world. In other worlds, they are also extraordinary items second only to planet-level items.
Soon, all the scales that still had energy were put away, but Ye Siyu's origin had not changed. It should be that the number was too small and did not reach a certain number.
But it doesn't matter, now it's enough to know that as long as you get extraordinary items, you can get the origin of the world.
"Let's go." After putting away all the scales, Ye Siyu said to Shimabukuro Kimie in the water.
Shimabukuro Kimie nodded, ignoring the mermaid tears, and sank directly into the water. She did not forget that she only had one piece of underwear on her body now. Once she went out with Ye Siyu, she would see them all. As for what she had been exposed to before She selectively ignored what she saw.
After Shimabukuro Kimie left, Ye Siyu also left and followed the passage back to the outside of the waterfall. Shimabukuro Kimie had already picked up the miko uniform and put it on.
"Sir, what should I do in the future?" Shimabukuro Junhui looked at Ye Siyu and asked after getting dressed.
She wanted to ask Ye Siyu before, but Ye Siyu had to go into the mermaid tomb, so she couldn't ask. Now that Ye Siyu seemed to have time, she asked the question immediately.
In one night, her world changed dramatically, from the world of science to the world of magic, which made it difficult for her to adapt.
"How you lived in the past is how you will live in the future." Ye Siyu replied.
"But..." Shimabukuro Kimie was a little hesitant. You have to know that her current identity has changed from an ordinary human to a mermaid. How can she live like she used to.
"Actually, whether you have turned into a mermaid or not just gives you an identity that cannot be known to others. Just like when you pretended to be your great-grandmother before, it has no impact on you." Ye Siyu interrupted.
Upon hearing this, Shimabukuro Junhui also understood what Ye Siyu meant.
As Ye Siyu said, apart from being more magical, this mermaid identity is no different from her previous impersonation of great-grandmother in other aspects, both of which cannot be known to others.
As long as she is careful, it will be the same with or without the identity of a multi-mermaid.
"If you don't want to continue living as Shimabukuro Kime, you can leave directly and become a real mermaid." Ye Siyu said again.
Shimabukuro Kimie's head kept shaking. Although she didn't know how mermaids lived, she could also imagine that for her who had been living in human society, she would not go to the real world unless it was taboo. to become a mermaid.
"Of course, if you really don't know what to do then, you can come to me." Ye Siyu said.
No matter how you say it, Shimabukuro Kimie is an extraordinary being in this world. She may be useful to him in the future, so it won't be a troublesome thing for her to come to him when she has something to do.
"Thank you very much." Shimabukuro Kime bowed to Ye Siyu. In the magical world, the only person she could seek help from was Ye Siyu. Now that the other party is willing to help her, it is a good thing for her.
Ye Siyu waved his hand nonchalantly.
After a chat, Ye Siyu parted ways with Shimabukuro Kimie and went back to the hotel where they lived.
When Ye Siyu walked to the restaurant next to the hotel, he found Xiaolan and others eating there, so he walked forward.
"Ye Sang, are you back?" Seeing Ye Siyu coming, Xiaolan immediately greeted her.
"Mr. Ye, were you looking for the mermaid grave just now?" Yuan Shan and Ye asked curiously.
"Yes." Ye Siyu didn't know why Yuan Shan and Ye asked, but it didn't stop him from answering.
"Haha, I said Mr. Ye is looking for the mermaid grave." Toyama and Ye immediately said to Hattori Heiji and the others. They had just talked about Ye Siyu, and they all speculated what Ye Siyu was going to do. She and Xiaolan speculated that Ye Siyu was looking for the mermaid grave. , Hattori Heiji and Conan speculated that Ye Siyu was investigating cases and walking around casually, while Mouri Kogoro speculated that Ye Siyu went to find a woman. Now that Ye Siyu is back, it is just time to verify their respective views.
"Ye Sang, have you found it?" Xiaolan asked curiously.
"Found it." Ye Siyu nodded.
"Really?!" Xiaolan, Yuanshan and Ye exclaimed, looking at Ye Siyu with curious eyes. She just said casually, but she didn't expect Ye Siyu to actually find the mermaid's grave.
"Sister Xiaolan, brother Siyu should have found the grave of the middle-aged woman who was crushed to death. Don't be so excited." Conan complained.
"So that's it." Xiaolan then remembered what the so-called mermaid grave was about, and a regretful expression immediately appeared on her face.
"No, I found the real mermaid grave." Ye Siyu shook his head.
As soon as Ye Siyu said these words, the dining table instantly became quiet, and everyone stared at Ye Siyu blankly.
"You're kidding again." Moori Kogoro, who was a little drunk, laughed.
Ye Siyu did not speak, but took out a piece of mermaid scales that exuded a blurry color and looked like glass from his pocket.
“What kind of fish scales are these?”
"so beautiful."
"never seen it."
As the scales appeared, everyone's eyes were fixed on them. Hattori Heiji and Conan were thinking about what kind of fish the scales came from. Xiaolan, Toyama and Ye were attracted by the light of the scales. As for Mouri Kogoro looked After one look, he continued drinking.
"Mermaid scales." Ye Siyu said.
"Really?" Xiaolan, Yuanshan and Ye asked doubtfully.
"Whether it really depends on what you think." Ye Siyu smiled, and then took out one and handed it to Xiaolan, Yuanshan and Ye respectively. He had a lot of these scales on his hands, so giving one to them didn't count. What.
"Mr. Ye, is this for us?" Yuan Shan and Ye asked in surprise after receiving the scales.
"This is my gift to you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come to this island, nor would I have found the mermaid's grave." Ye Siyu smiled.
"Thank you." Xiaolan, Yuanshan and Ye thanked each other. Although they didn't know if these were really mermaid scales, they were so beautiful that even if they weren't, they would take it as such. In addition to being beautiful, these scales are also It's cool and very comfortable to hold in your hand. It's a lot cooler in the originally stuffy environment.
"Sister Xiaolan, can you take a look at it?" Conan stretched his big head over and asked.
Hattori Heiji on the side also asked Toyama and Ye to come over and check. The two of them wanted to take a closer look at the scales to expose Ye Siyu's scam.
Xiaolan, Yuanshan and Ye did not refuse, and handed the scales to them directly, and then asked Ye Siyu about the mermaid grave. They were very curious about what Ye Siyu had just experienced.
As soon as the scales arrived, the two of them felt a chill in their bodies, which was very strange.
"Kudo, do you feel it?" Hattori Heiji asked softly.
"You feel it too?" Conan said seriously.
"This should be a magic prop."
"That's right, I just don't know why."
The two of them discussed each other word by word. Ye Siyu, who heard the conversation between the two, smiled. It seemed that the two of them did not believe in the mermaid scales, but regarded them as a magician's magic props.
In this regard, Ye Siyu did not explain much. This is the character of these two brats.
