In Fu Jixian's thoughts, if a person is poisoned by a mermaid, he will become a monster like a "deep diver", and he never thought that a mermaid would actually be turned into a human before...... Perhaps these are two "evolutionary" directions? One is incomplete metamorphosis and the other is complete metamorphosis.

If these two changes are considered to be a kind of accident, people can become mermaids, and then a more crucial question arises - are all mermaids turned into people?

Is there such a logical paradox of "chicken or egg"?

If you think about it, if a mermaid used to be a human, then the act of eating "mermaid meat" is a bit unacceptable, and there are ethical issues involved.

But this is not the time to think about these questions in detail, thinking that there has been a sudden change in the scene. I saw the man on the opposite boat jump into the sea, and then swam to the "mermaid" at a very exaggerated speed.

Fu Jixian naturally didn't understand what this person wanted to do, and performed in public what was called "white stripes in the waves" or what was called "winter swimming monster pigeon"?

Apparently not so.

Because immediately after, the "mermaid" that was still swimming happily suddenly let out an extremely miserable cry, and its half-floating body began to struggle to sink, and at the same time, the dark water surface was covered with a darker pigment.

It's blood.

The blood of mermaids is as warm and bright red as humans.

It can be seen that this person who jumped into the sea is the real "fishing expert", at least the attitude of the people is very correct, and they did not force Lai Lai's nonsense, but took direct action.

I don't know if the man assassinated or injured the mermaid, but when the merfolk began to sink, the other party had already returned and climbed onto the boat.

At this time, the couple on the boat was still in a state of confusion, because they received too much information and too much impact in this short period of time.

The necklace around the mermaid's neck should be enough evidence for the couple to prove that the identity of the mermaid is actually "Ogasawara Shin", first accepting that their son has become a fish is enough to challenge their three views, and then what? Just when the psychological bottom line of whether to continue to regard this monster as his son was constantly challenged, someone suddenly jumped into the sea, and then seemed to directly "stab the mermaid to death".

So can this knife be regarded as stabbing their son, at this time, the two people's brains may not be able to turn a corner.

They probably couldn't figure out why they hired a private boat to go to sea at random, and the pilot of this boat would do such a thing, shouldn't this captain be just an ordinary person who takes money to work?

For a while, the Ogasawara couple could only vent on a small boat.

The man didn't do anything after he climbed into the boat, he slowly turned around to Fu Ji Xianli and Manaka Aoi, and then Fu Ji Xianli saw a transparent bag in his hand, which contained some fresh pieces of meat—it was supposed to be part of the mermaid's body tissue.

And based on Fu Jixianli's observation and the experience gained by analogy with the internal organs of other animals, he felt that what was held by the other party should be the liver and gallbladder of the mermaid.

In such a short time of launching the water, he directly caught the mermaid, and then accurately disemboweled it and took out its organs, from which two things can be inferred, first, this person is indeed extraordinary, and should be a very powerful "peer"; Second, it wasn't the first time he'd done this kind of thing, so he was very familiar with the mermaid's body structure and didn't hesitate to make a move.

Thinking so, Fu Jixianli's gaze gradually moved up, and he wanted to see the other party's appearance clearly......

The man was wet, and water droplets kept dripping from him onto the board, making a ticking sound, but when Fu Jixian looked up, he didn't see the person's appearance.

It wasn't because the lights on the ship were too dim, but because they were deliberately hiding it - a layer of blood was spreading out of his eye sockets, covering his face little by little.

This man is deliberately hiding his identity.

If you think so, then what Ogasawara and his wife saw before would not be his real face, and it would not be difficult to hide in disguise. It's just that after the camouflage on his face and head is soaked or washed away after entering the water, his face should be revealed as it is, so he has to hide it like this again.

And his actions are not completely devoid of any benefits, at least, through his behavior of manipulating blood, Fu Jixian can judge that the ability he uses is "blood coagulation", and the other party's methods should be biased towards physical attributes...... This should be good news.

But......

This image of a person dressed in black, wearing a hat on his head, half-hidden in the night, and covering his face...... Fu Jixian suddenly felt a little familiar.

It's not that there is anything unique about the other party's external characteristics at this time, but Fu Jixianli still feels a sense of familiarity from this person.

Thinking about it in his head, Fu Ji Xianli finally grasped this ethereal familiarity:

"Sir, you can't be the "puppeteer", right? ”

This person is a bit like the puppeteer who once appeared downstairs under Manaka Aoi, when Fu Ji Xianli and Manaka Aoi also chased him for a while, but unfortunately they didn't touch each other at that time, but let him escape calmly.

But at that time, the figure imprinted in Fu Jixianli's mind, he did not completely forget.

Another thing that can be corrected is that the "puppeteer" is closely connected with the mermaid, and he once quietly sent mermaid meat to Aoi Manaka.

Fu Ji Xianli glanced at Aoi Manaka beside her, and after receiving Fu Ji Xianli's reminder, Sister Aoi immediately showed a thoughtful expression, and after thinking for a few seconds, she said, "I feel a little similar." ”

If the "puppeteer" often uses mermaids to commit crimes, then he should be quite familiar with such things as mermaids, and besides, Manaka Aoi was just suspecting that person was the "anonymous" who came here for these two couples - if the puppeteer has a considerable degree of mermaid knowledge, then he can naturally learn relevant information from the missing person notices distributed by this group of couples, and judge that Ogasawara Shin has the possibility of becoming a mermaid, and then he told the other party about the mermaid country.

However, these things are just speculation, maybe they are just nonsense, maybe this speculation is appropriate, or maybe ...... arrangement of the "puppeteer" is much deeper and more complicated than this speculation.

Don't forget, the mermaid meat that appeared in the first "mermaid incident" still has some unknown origins, is the dead culprit really the culprit? Maybe there's a puppeteer in this matter?

Then it would be even more logical for him to know that Ogasawara had been infected with mermaid toxin.

Of course, the "puppeteer" did not directly answer Fu Jixianli's question and admit his identity, but only listened to him speak, "There are more people here tonight than I expected, two, this kind of chance encounter is not in my plan. ”

Aoi Manaka took a step forward, staring closely at the "indiscriminate murderer" who had tried to harm her, and then she spoke, "If you have enough information, if you want to get the mermaid or mermaid's body parts, you can come to this water area by yourself, and solo activities will only make your movement more convenient, so why would you disguise your identity and mix with Mr. Ogasawara and Ms. Ogasawara's boat?"

You're not just aiming for the merfolk, you're also targeting this couple, right? ”

Mermaid, mermaid liver and gallbladder, mermaid flesh killing, black loach...... After hearing Zhenzhong Aoi's words, several things suddenly connected in Fu Ji Xianli's mind, and he faintly had some understanding.

How to say it, just like he and Manaka Aoi suspected before, is the puppeteer's indiscriminate killing really just an indiscriminate killing? Or is there some "hidden purpose" he wants to accomplish by killing people?

The reason why the "puppeteer" appears here is that one is to catch the mermaid and obtain the liver and gallbladder of the mermaid; the second is to take the Ogasawara couple as a "hunting target", trying to solve the family here; Third...... If Fu Jixian is not mistaken, the method chosen by the "puppeteer" to solve the couple should be to feed them mermaid gall.

Then, Fu Jixianli's thoughts drifted from the sea into Mt. Fuji in an instant.

"It's really unfortunate, and if you deal with four people at a time, it's a bit of a hassle for me."

The "puppeteer" did not directly respond to Manaka Aoi's words, but his statement showed that he did have intentions for the Ogasawara couple.

"But you're not here for a masquerade, are you, this kind of unexpected encounter is also a kind of fate, so at least let's see what you look like, right?"

This kind of dangerous element is not completely out of his mind, because no matter what his purpose is, Fu Jixian feels that maybe this person will be pitted on his head one day, after all, the other party has already tried to pit Zhenzhong Kui...... The other party's target may be Zhenzhong Aoi, and naturally it may also be him Fu Ji Xianli.

Therefore, Fu Jixian thinks that it is best to catch the other party here. This place is on the sea, and there are only two small boats on both sides, everyone has nowhere to escape, Fu Jixian has nowhere to escape, and the "puppeteer" also has nowhere to escape.

Fu Jixianli's eyes were firmly fixed on the other party, on the one hand, to prevent this dangerous person from suddenly breaking out, and on the other hand, he was also looking for an opportunity to take the lead.

But at this moment, the boat under Fu Jixianli's feet was suddenly hit hard, and then the boat shook extremely violently. Because at this time, Fu Jixianli's attention was all focused on the "puppeteer" opposite, so this kind of impact caught him off guard.

What's even worse is that Aoi Manaka, who was standing in front, slipped under his feet when the ship shook sharply, and he fell into the sea with a very decisive "poof".

Damn, what are you doing?

By the time Fu Jixian stabilized his body, Manaka Aoi had already slipped away from his (tentacles).

Did you know that the speed at which (pseudo)Lori falls is 9.8 meters per second?

Fu Jixian didn't say a word, so he could only jump into the sea with him, and it was okay to say that if Sister Kui fell and hit the side of the fishing boat...... She's going to sink when she's dizzy.

Fu Jixian plunged into the water with a fierce son, and then began to fish around, trying to touch Aoi Manaka from the water...... The visibility on the surface of the water was so low that he couldn't find her for a while.

"Sister Aoi, where?"

Fu Jixian shouted, and then immediately touched a long black hair.

Isn't it good to lift Sister Aoi by the hair? But Fu Ji Xianli immediately found that it was a little unnecessary to think about this question, because he felt that he was not caught by Aoi Manaka's hair...... It's not that he's perverted enough to be particularly familiar with Sister Aoi's hair, but that the hair on his hand is a little too long.

This hair reminded him of a creature called "Forbidden Woman" created in a certain well-known world.

So Fu Jixian decisively pulled these hairs upward, feeling like fishing. Then he found that the shadow that gradually appeared in the water must not be Aoi Zhenzhong, and Sister Aoi must not be so slender.

As Fu Jixian pulled hard, the mermaid's head and a small part of the upper body were lifted out of the water by him.

The life force of this thing far exceeds that of humans, and it has been gutted out, and the waters near the fishing boat are all sprinkled with its blood, but it is still not dead at this moment...... It seems that the rumors of immortality on this thing are not groundless.

The thing that had just hit his head on the fishing boat was this enraged mermaid. Comparing the heart to the heart, no matter who is picked up some parts for no reason, they will be so angry from the heart, and evil will be born to the side of the guts...... Oh, the merfolk don't have the guts anymore.

In short, it has become extremely aggressive.

After pulling it out of the water, Fu Jixianli immediately noticed what was hanging from its neck, which was indeed a metal necklace.

At this time, the mermaid began to attack him, and its mouth opened exaggeratedly like a hippopotamus, revealing two rows of fangs on each of its upper and lower jaws, which was about to bite off Fu Jixianli's neck.

Fu Ji Xianli, he noticed that the mermaid's face was no longer similar to the Ogasawara Shin he had seen, and what made people feel extremely uncomfortable was that the mermaid's eye sockets had no eyes, only two small balls of flesh that were deftly rotating in them.

Fu Jixian naturally wouldn't be bitten by this thing, and then saw that countless splashes suddenly rose on the water, and then the mermaid was smoked, and then it was thrown up and smashed into the "puppeteer" on the boat.

Fu Jixianli is still good at fishing, whether it is when he was a child, he went down to the river to fish, or when he went to work to fish.

"Sister Aoi, can you hear me?"

"Here."

Aoi Manaka responded to Fu Ji Kenri's words, and she finally surfaced again.

"Is it cold in the water?"

"Nonsense, are you cold?"

She's quite energetic, cold to cold, and she won't lose her strength for a while.

"I'm cold too, so let's stick it."

Through the sound of conversation, Fu Ji Xianli found the direction where Manaka Aoi was, and she had already drifted out some distance, so he swam over quickly.

Immediately after, Aoi Manaka was pulled over by him.

It stands to reason that this kind of heroic rescue should be worth moving, after all, YOUJUMP and then IJUMP, but at this moment, Aoi Mazhong only feels goosebumps all over her body.

It wasn't cold, but because she felt like something in the water was wet and sticky, slippery and sucker wrapped around her waist and legs.

Of course, a lot of the feeling is Aoi Manaka's illusion, but ......

I have to say that in the sea, Fu Ji Xianli, who wields tentacles, is really like an octopus and a tentacle monster.

The ample space for imagination caused Ms. Aoi Manaka to be highly unwell.
