With a rhythmic drum beat, the door of the shrine slowly opened, and a figure sitting in the middle of the alley, with his back to the crowd, slowly appeared.

It was a white-haired figure, and the clothes on his body were quite ancient, which looked a little mysterious.

"It's like the fox fairy in the previous story." Conan couldn't help but whisper.

"Fox fairy?" Asa Yu sneered, "Have you ever seen a fox fairy of such an age?" ”

"What's there?" Unexpectedly, Conan actually said with a serious face, "Fox fairies are generally hundreds of years old. ”

....... "What you said makes sense, I am speechless." Light feather forehead.

While everyone was talking, the people in the alley had slowly turned around.

"Wow!" When he saw the face of the longevity woman, Qianyu couldn't help but burst out.

"Also....... It's just an old woman with heavy makeup! Maori Kogoro, who was also taken aback, couldn't help but say with some shame.

I saw that the longevity woman's face was covered with a thick layer of white foundation, which looked particularly eerie in front of the candle flame that danced from time to time.

"This ......" Qianyu looked at the face of the longevity woman with a smile and a smile, and the sigh in her heart couldn't help but increase a point.

When I came here last year, I really didn't see the whole process of the celebration, after all, I didn't come to see this dugong celebration at that time. But after seeing it today, I didn't have any resonance because of the joyful atmosphere around me, and all I had in my heart was that trace of helplessness.

How cruel is it for a young girl to spend her life playing a role that has long since passed?

Having seen everything a year in advance, can you do something for this girl?

When Qianyu's thoughts came back from the distant sky, he found that Changshou Po had already lit the paper door in front of him, revealing three numbers for this year.

Three, one hundred and seventy, eighteen.

Ay........ Number eighteen?

Asaka couldn't help but turn her head and look in the direction of He Ye and Xiao Lan, if I'm not mistaken, who is this number?

Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw that Kazuha's face had already revealed a trace of excitement that could not be concealed.

"Ahh That's great! Just as Asa Yu smiled slightly, he heard another slightly familiar voice coming from his ears, he looked back, and saw Ebihara Shoumi, who had appeared there before, looking at the number plate in his hand with an excited face, "This is true!" ”

Turning his head sideways and glancing slightly, the eyes of Asa Yu and Conan met, but there was no surprise in Conan's eyes, as if it was just an ordinary conversation, but it was not surprising that Conan did not know the truth about the longevity woman in advance like himself.

"Alright, guys." Just as everyone was happy and worried, Kimime Shimabukuro, dressed in a shrine maiden costume, walked out from behind the alley of the shrine and said in a loud voice, "The number of the dugong arrows has been announced, please gather at the mermaid waterfall, where we will distribute the dugong arrows." ”

Mermaid Falls? Asa Yu touched his chin, for some reason, he always had a premonition that something would happen there.

Easily let go of Gray Yuan's hand, facing Gray Yuan's somewhat puzzled eyes, Light Yu smiled slightly, just gently squeezed Gray Yuan's little hand, then turned around, followed the figure of the excited woman in the crowd, and then disappeared into the crowd.

Gray Yuan sighed softly, and then a glimmer of brightness flashed in his ice-blue eyes.

You....... Are you serious again?

.......

Two hours later.

It was already close to nine o'clock in the evening, and the sky was already dark, but the rushing mermaid waterfall was already full of people.

"Alright, please come to the front of the three lucky guests who just drew the number plate." In front of the waterfall, Kimie Shimabukuro's figure looked extremely sacred under the flickering bonfire, "I will start distributing dugong arrows." ”

"Good!" He Ye suddenly raised his hand excitedly, "I'll go over right away!" ”

Conan looked at the other person who had won the number, but he didn't expect it to be someone he knew!

Naoko Kuroe!

"The last guest?" After waiting for a while, Jun Hui asked everyone with a little doubt, "Is the last guest here too?" At this, her voice paused.

"Hehe, that's me." As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged uncle with a flushed face and a burst of alcohol on his body walked out of the crowd with a smile.

"Huh? That's not right! Hattori frowned suddenly, "I remember......" He recalled Ebihara Sumi's face, and he also saw her excited look at that time, "I thought she had drawn it too!" ”

"That's right." Conan looked around, "Why didn't you see her people?" ”

"Now please three of you to receive the Light of Bliss!" As Jun Hui's clear voice came, suddenly with a bang, one after another white light suddenly lit up from in front of everyone, soared into the sky, and then exploded into a white fireworks, and the surroundings were suddenly lit up, with the orange-red bonfire, it was very beautiful.

"Isn't this just a fireworks display?" Conan couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said to the shallow feather beside him.

Qianyu didn't speak, but a sneer flashed on his slightly immature little face that others couldn't see.

"Ahh What is that?! Suddenly, a man exclaimed, pointing to the waterfall in front of him, his voice trembling.

"That's ......!?" Hattori and Conan's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly!

A woman.

The woman with her long shawl hair and her body swaying with the water of the waterfall like a mermaid swimming upstream, she disappeared......

Ebihara Sumi!

The original long hair completely covered the woman's face because of the flow of water, so that everyone couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, and the sky was dark, and then the bright light of the fireworks, it was impossible to see the specific situation of the woman.

"Put her down first!" Hattori shouted, and Mori reacted, and the two of them ran quickly towards the cliff at the top of the waterfall.

When I walked to the top of the mountain and saw the rope hanging on the guardrail on the side, Hattori didn't have time to catch my breath, and just wanted to work with Kogoro to pull people up, but just as the two of them were exerting force, suddenly, the two of them felt a little wrong at the same time, and the weight hanging on one end of the rope disappeared almost in an instant!

"This ......" The two looked at each other, and almost at the same time, their faces changed suddenly.

"The rope is broken?"

What the people below the waterfall saw was a slightly more frightening scene.

The mermaid, who was originally swimming against the current, suddenly swayed a few times, and then fell straight down the waterfall as if it had lost its strength! With a bang, the figure slammed into the water as if returning to the sea, causing a large splash. Then, with the flow of water, it slowly disappeared from everyone's eyes. Everyone watched as the figure slowly moved away, and finally disappeared into the water.

"It's ...... The direction of the sea! In the crowd, a trembling voice was heard.

A sneer appeared on Asa Yu's face again, and then his figure flashed and disappeared into the crowd.
