Aihara quickly refused:

"Don't you test anything now, we're on the mission of the IPO organization, in case there are powerful wasteland creatures in this water plant......

"That's going to be a big problem."

The mother on the other side disagreed:

"How powerful can a water plant hide?

"If there really are wasteland creatures, it's a big deal that I'll send some of my power to you remotely and destroy it."

Befall?

Aihara Hiroshi repeated these two words softly:

"Can you still come here?"

"Yes, but the cost will be relatively large, but within an acceptable range."

He was a little relieved.

But a special reminder:

"However, you must not hurt Captain Suzuki and Musashino."

Mom was a little impatient with his nagging:

"Don't worry.

"What am I doing to hurt the two of them for no reason...... No, am I your mother, or are you my mother? ”

At this time, Musashino was standing behind Suzuki.

Although ostensibly inspecting the device.

But in fact, Ohana had already informed the owner of the sea in advance:

The owner of the sea is a mutated freshwater fish.

After receiving radiation, their bones, skin, internal organs, and blood will become transparent, and the stronger the sea owner, the higher the transparency.

In order to maintain normal vital signs, they must consume large amounts of chlorine.

Otherwise, there are too many impurities in the body, which will lead to the inability to maintain the life form.

This wasteland creature is not very dangerous.

Even with proper containment methods, it can be used as high-grade activated carbon to adsorb impurities in water.

Chlorine......

It must have been stolen by the owner of the sea square.

Musashino proactively suggests:

"Captain, there shouldn't be anything unusual here, let's take a look outside."

"Hmm."

Suzuki nodded, in fact, he didn't understand these water purification equipment, and after roughly confirming that there were no wasteland creatures inside the instrument, he had no idea of investigation for the time being.

So the person in charge took them to the water storage area.

"Several.

"This is a reservoir, and the water here has basically been purified, and with a little adsorption treatment, it can be delivered to thousands of households."

There are five cisterns in total.

The total area is about the same as a large stadium.

Boom~

The surface of the water ripples slightly in the moonlight, and the surface looks very peaceful and tranquil.

At this time, the bottom of a cistern.

A fat, huge transparent fish crawls quietly.

Its body occupies at least half of the pool.

Since the body of the owner of the sea is completely transparent, and more than 99% of the material in the body is water.

So no one ever noticed.

Even cleaning the cistern is as simple as it temporarily detachs the water from the body and crumples into a transparent ball no larger than a fist.

When the cleaning is complete, re-release the water.

It will absorb water again and swell back to its original size.

For more than ten years, the sea owner has been hiding very perfectly, no matter how many people come to investigate, they have not been able to find the doorway.

"Huh?"

Hearing the movement by the pool, the owner of the sea opened his eyes.

"Is there anyone here again?"

During this time, its spirit is very tense.

After all, the three holy relics that took refuge in the homeland, the earth spider, the earthquake catfish, and the cloud outer mirror were all murdered, and now there are no people in the organization to respond in the survival area.

It's the only one left.

Maybe someday......

I'm going to go the same fate as those three guys.

Woo woo woo~

"I'm just a weak and helpless fish, lying here every day, at most stealing chlorine from the water plant, I ......

"I'm different from the others."

Thinking of this, the owner of the sea square couldn't help it.

Sorrow rises from the bottom of my heart.

His eyes couldn't help but burst out of two streams of sad water.

Gollum~

One by one, the bubbles floated to the surface of the water, attracting Musashino's attention.

"Huh?"

His ears twitched, and he looked back at the cistern behind him, a grayish flash in his pupils.

Under the observation of the Spirit Eye, the bottom of the pool seemed to have a gray original sin aura, but it was very thin, and it was vaguely visible as the shape of a fish.

"Tsk~"

Found you.

The owner of the sea raised his throat and looked at Musashino on the shore.

He......

He shouldn't find me, right?

However, in the next second, the owner of the sea was desperate to hear that Musashino made a suggestion to the person in charge:

"Excuse me...... Can this reservoir be emptied? ”

The person in charge was stunned.

"Ah, yes."

The director of the factory specially instructed him to do his best to cooperate with the work of the IPO organization, as long as it is proposed by them, it must be done.

Emptying the pool is simple.

As long as the water in it is accelerated, it can be passed through the next filtration process, but it will greatly increase the power consumption.

Captain Suzuki asks:

"What, did you notice something unusual?"

Musashino nodded:

"Hmm."

Boom Boom –

The tank's transport device was activated, and the water level began to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The owner of the sea is hiding at the bottom of the pool.

Finished!

It's completely finished!

I knew that sooner or later I would be exposed, but I didn't expect it so soon.

"No, I can't sit still.

"Maybe we can salvage it again."

Its body quickly dehydrated and gradually became smaller as the water level dropped, so at the same time, the mouth of the owner of the sea was silently reciting:

"Can't see me, can't see me......"

Wait until the water in this reservoir has completely bottomed out.

The owner of the sea has turned into a transparent ball, lying quietly in an inconspicuous corner like a pufferfish.

It squinted its eyes.

Vaguely, Suzuki, Musashino, and Aihara followed the ladder to the bottom of the pool.

The owner of the sea quickly closed his eyes:

"You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me......

"I'm just a piece of garbage at the bottom of the pool.

"It's definitely not a holy thing to take refuge into."

In the next second, it had been lifted by Musashino with the fins of the fish.

"Ahh

Whew——

Its eyes erupted again with two jets of sad water.

It's over, but it's still been discovered.

When the person in charge saw this scene, his eyes slowly widened:

"Our pool is filtered and disinfected, so why is there a transparent puffer fish?"

It doesn't make sense.

Something is wrong!

At this moment, the person in charge even wondered if it was not the IPO organization in front of him, but the commissioner of the living area who came to inspect the water quality problem.

"This, we ......"

He was just about to explain, but he heard Musashino say:

"This is no ordinary pufferfish.

"It's the third-ranked sea owner who has taken refuge in his homeland, and he has lived in the pool for at least ten years, right?"

Kogoro Suzuki was stunned:

"You mean ......"

Suddenly, he reacted and hurriedly shouted:

"Let go!

"Danger! How can this kind of thing be held directly by hand! ”

This is a holy relic for taking refuge in the homeland, at least comparable to the strength of the 4th order!

Although Musashino once killed earthquake catfish, there was an element of chance after all.

Yes?

Musashino looked at him as if he was facing a great enemy.

"It's fine."

Swish~

He shook the round body of the sea owner and splashed a few drops of water:

"Look, this guy is very honest."
