Chapter 56: I'm a good person
From the outside, mermaid shrines are no different from those shrines in rice flowers.
There is neither anything that marks a mermaid, nor any special decorations.
What is impressive may be that the shrine is particularly dilapidated.
Except for the tourists, from the outside, it doesn't look like a scenic spot at all.
As soon as he came in, Bai Jingxing saw a mermaid waiting in the middle of the courtyard.
The hair and tail of this little mermaid are blue and white, and she is wearing a witch costume with white on the top and red on the bottom, which inexplicably has a sense of sacredness.
The mermaid looked at the moon willow and frowned slightly, not looking very satisfied.
looked at the thin and straight, gentle and decent Bai Jingxing, and his expression looked a little better.
"You're the new master chosen by Yaeko?
"It's okay to look at, but you take the contract and do something for me."
It's good to talk about conditions, and he likes to talk about conditions.
As long as you are willing to talk, this is half the story.
Bai Jingxing made an excuse, opened the moon willow, and made a gesture of invitation to the mermaid.
One person and two ghosts came to the backyard, and Bai Jingxing skillfully commanded Yaeko to patrol to prevent their conversation from being heard by others.
Then he said to the mermaid:
"Can you tell me about it?"
The mermaid looked at the shrine with a holy look:
"This shrine was built for me by the Shimabukuro family, and I have been worshiped for generations.
"In order to increase my fame, they have pretended to be three people in a row.
"I was touched by what they did, but I also saw their happiness and exhaustion.
"Now in this family, there is only one child left in Junhui, and I really can't bear to let her follow her mother's old path.
"Can you help me?
"Without destroying the island's tourism development, let this kid give up pretending."
This condition is a bit unexpected and reasonable.
Mermaid Island is a very classic case, and Bai Jingxing has a little impression.
It's probably the shrine's shrine maiden family.,Pretending to have eaten mermaid meat.,As a result, my mother was burned to death.。
After her daughter found out, she decided to take revenge, and the story was debunked by black and white.
Bai Jingxing doesn't remember the details very well, and he hasn't seen Detective Conan a few times in his previous life.
Coupled with Yaeko's compassionate appearance when she first appeared, Bai Jingxing originally thought that the mermaid would propose to stop the murder, or make the witch give up revenge or something like that.
So he deliberately brought Morien Juren, intending to trick him into investing in the island's tourism industry before the murder happened.
Then wait for the murder to happen, and get rid of his money.
But if you can't destroy the island's tourism, you'll have to find another way.
Bai Jingxing touched his chin and thought for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong:
"Wait, Miss Mermaid, why didn't you tell her personally?
"Yaeko can condense words with water, you should be able to do it too, right?
"If you told her, she would be more convinced and more sincere to you."
The mermaid nodded, then shook her head again:
"I've set up a formation in this sea.
"All the energy cultivated by the ghosts and spirits who signed a contract with me will enter the formation and be used to protect the surrounding sea water from being polluted, and the fish will grow up healthily.
"Once I use my energy, this formation will be broken, and everyone's hard work will be in vain."
Bai Jingxing: !!
This mermaid lady really has a bit of a protective god.
Still a patron god who can't use his energy now, Bai Jingxing has an urge to pack it up and take it away.
But he immediately calmed down.
First, mermaids just don't want to use it, it's not that they can't use it;
Second, I'm still a rookie, and I can't beat it.
So he decisively gathered his thoughts, thought about countermeasures, and then found a Hua point:
"In other words, with your protective array, the seafood on this island is healthier, more prolific, and tastes better than other places, right?"
The merfolk nodded:
"Yes, most of the inhabitants of the island make a living from fishing, and since they believe in me, I naturally want them to have enough catch."
There are hard power products, capital blessings, and metaphysical blessings, are you afraid that you will not be famous?
Bai Jingxing chuckled:
"If that's the case, I've got a solution.
"It will not reduce the number of people who come to the shrine to pay their respects, nor will it harm the interests of other people on the island, and it will also allow the fate to leave the shrine solemnly."
Bai Jingxing briefly talked about his plan, to put it simply, it was to imitate the development plan of Yangcheng Lake in the previous life.
He tried to collect his expression, and made a look of being moved by the story of the shrine maiden family:
"I want to make a rainbow that spans the whole island on the day of the burial.
Only such miracles are worthy of the identity they have maintained for three generations.
"In order to convince the world that this island is guarded by mermaids!
"But you can't use energy, I just started cultivating and can't use spells, the only one who can do this is Yaeko after re-contracting with me.
"So, can you give me Yaeko's contract first?
"I swear to you, I'll get it right."
Bai Jingxing's face was sincere.
The mermaid recalled in her mind the beautiful scene of the rainbow surrounding the island, and couldn't help but shake her tail, a little excited.
But she lived for so many years, although the Virgin, but not stupid.
She suspected that Bai Jingxing wanted to cheat the contract out of her business, but looking at Bai Jingxing's sincere and reliable appearance, she didn't feel like it.
After swimming several laps in the air, the mermaid finally made up her mind:
"Okay, but you'll have to sign a contract with me first.
"If you can't do what you say, the exercises and skills that Yaeko has learned here will be eliminated!"
The mermaid stretched out her small palm, with a solemn face.
Bai Jingxing also looked solemn:
"Miss Mermaid, I can guarantee that the fate will not affect the departure of the island, that Miss Shrine Maiden will get the status she deserves, and that I can also guarantee that I will bring in investment, but I can't follow up.
"People's hearts are too complicated, and if someone on the island doesn't want to develop and is directly greedy for this money, there is nothing I can do."
The merfolk thought for a moment and decided that there were no such people on their island.
As long as you don't leave, and you still have money to help the island develop, it can't be worse than now.
She nodded:
"Okay, I believe in you, you're a good person~"
The first time I was issued a good person card.
Bai Jingxing looked very embarrassed, and reviewed what he had just promised in his heart:
It's not difficult to let fate leave, as long as you are dreamy and magical when you "die", you can cope with the past.
And in this world, there happens to be a doctor who is good at this kind of small props.
In the past, the shrine maiden was the spokesperson of the mermaid, but in the future, let her be the spokesperson of the mermaid fishery.
Anyway, this kind of thing is a play on words.
As for investment......
The investor is already hanging around the island with the money, waiting for him to fool around.
Anyway, there is no guarantee of how much money, it is easy to solve.
Very good!
No problem!
I'm a good person!
Bai Jingxing and Miss Mermaid signed the contract satisfied.
