"Sir, please go this way."

Guided by a middle-aged male servant, Fu Jixianli walked in the corridor of the large house.

He looked left and right, and the interior of this tall and spacious building always gave him a palace-like feeling...... In terms of the scale of the building, it should not be said that this is a villa, at least it should be said that it is a Western-style house.

The house is located on the edge of the port town of Toyoshikashima, and is built in the foothills near the center of the island, so from a distance, it looks like it is connected to the mangrove forest on the hillside.

"When will I be able to meet Miss Sawako of Anyiji, after all, I came here at her invitation?"

Fu Jixian asked the servant in front of him, he didn't come here to visit the house.

"The guests haven't arrived yet, and the eldest lady will entertain everyone together at dinner time, and will explain some things, so I would like to ask you to wait a while." The servant stopped at the door of one of the rooms, then bowed to Fu Ji Xianli, "Before dinner time comes, please rest here for a while." ”

"I see...... By the way, can I take a walk around this house and take a tour of it myself? ”

Fu Jixian did not have any opinion on the host's arrangement, but then he unceremoniously made a request to visit.

"This ...... Sorry guests, it's better not to," the maid suddenly lowered her voice as she spoke, "It's been a bit 'restless' here lately, and for the safety of your guests, you'd better not move around." ”

The "restless house" in the maid's mouth certainly does not mean that the family is in trouble.

Fu Jixian said rationally that I am the one who is here to solve this kind of "restless house", but if people do not allow him to visit at home, he naturally has no way to force it.

"Got it, thanks for letting me know......"

Anyway, let's hope dinner time comes soon.

After Fu Jixian opened the door and entered the room, the servant bowed to him again and left.

Closing the door, his eyes swept around the quaintly decorated room, and then Fu Ji Xianli walked to the window of the room. If you look out from here, you can see two servants mowing the lawn downstairs.

Everything looks perfectly normal.

At this time, Yuanchang was finally reluctant to leave the backpack.

"Teacher Cat, did you find anything abnormal?" Fu Jixian asked expectantly at his cat.

You must know that in many stories, cats can be incarnated as huge and powerful "bodyguards", and the division of labor in those stories is like this - the owner is responsible for finding problems, and the cats are responsible for solving problems.

Is it reasonable? It's just unreasonable.

Ignoring Fu Jixianli again, Yuanchang jumped onto the sofa, chased his tail twice, and then fell into the circle he stepped out of, looking at Fu Jixianli with a particularly innocent look.

"Well, just kidding."

…………

Towards the end of the evening, Fu Jixian was taken to the dining room by the servant.

And when he arrived, there were already a few people sitting around a large round table and large chairs...... He seems to be the last one to come here.

It's quite ritualistic, and it feels like something is about to start.

Fu Ji Xianli first looked at Sawako of Anyi Temple who was sitting there, and then looked at the other "guests", and couldn't help but think "That's really the case" in his heart.

Before coming here, he thought he was the only "expert" that the other party had found, but after coming into contact with the servant before, he realized that he was not the only one, but only "one of them".

That is to say, in addition to the master, the people sitting here are all "peers" of Fu Jixianli, whether real or false.

After Fu Ji Xianli sat down on the chair, Sawako of Anyi Temple, who was the master, spoke:

"Everyone is already here.

Welcome to the annex of the Anyi Temple family, I invite you to come here this time, I have important things to ask you to ask for. But before I explain, please introduce each other a little bit, after all, the next thing may require your cooperation. ”

"Introducing yourself, it's not necessary, and for people like us, there's little chance of cooperation...... I only trust myself, especially when faced with the unknown.

Oh, my name is Eijie Chinuma, and I'm done. ”

Hidejie Chinuma is a man in his thirties with a very thin face who feels very low-key and eerie.

However, Fu Jixian agrees with his statement, everyone doesn't know each other and they are all "god sticks", how can they cooperate? You must know that in a sense, "peers" are more terrifying than weird......

"God is looking for."

After that, the next person on his left hand in the direction of the pointer just said his name, and nothing else.

Shenyuan is about the same age as Fu Ji Xianli, and he is a young man who seems to be a little cold and withdrawn.

"Ogasawara Shin, a friendly reminder, what happens next may be dangerous, and those who don't have the strength to try to cheat better leave early...... This is my 'kindness'. ”

Later, Ogasawara seemed to be a very proud person, and the master didn't speak, and he had already driven people out on behalf of the master...... Theoretically, he doesn't have that qualification.

Next, it was Fu Jixian's turn, so he spoke, "Yuki Yuna, a person who has no strength. ”

Fu Ji Xianli, a person who directly finds fault.

"Yuna" is a feminine name, and Fu Ji Xianli is clearly telling the people here that he is using a fake name...... Since his surname is relatively special, it is not difficult to obtain more personal information about him through his surname, so this time he learned wisely.

Leaving aside Anyi Temple Sako and Zi, he didn't want to have too much to do with the other people here.

And his words directly made Ogasawara sneer, and the other party seemed to disdain to respond to anything, but the sneer was expressing a certain attitude.

Maybe he was prompted by Fu Ji Xianli, or maybe someone else had the same idea as him, in short, the last person after him made a more exaggerated self-introduction: "My name is Toyotomi Hideyoshi, please take care of me." ”

"Toyotomi Hideyoshi" wears a gray fisherman's hat on her head, a pair of large sunglasses buttoned down in front of her eyes, and a high stand-up collar of her blouse that covers her mouth and nose.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a secretive person, and a woman.

Fu Ji Xianli knew that he was not the only special person before, after all, he had already met Gento Soya and Aoi Manaka. But this time he still felt a little surprised to see four peers - worthy of rich people, no matter what they do or who they invite, they seem to be more accustomed to "wholesale" than looking for them individually.

Is it just that if there are more people, can the success rate of things be guaranteed? Fu Jixian put a question mark in his heart.

Except for Mr. Chinuma, the other four people here, including Fu Ji Xianli, all looked very young, and young equals novices, which often means inexperience.

After these people finished introducing themselves (in fact, they were reporting each other's names), the scene was silent for a while, and then Sawako of Anyi Temple spoke:

"Have you ever heard of merfolk?"

Well?

When it comes to the Seto Inland Sea, do you still have to talk about the legend of the mermaid?
