The high-speed air flow passed through the entire space at a very fast speed, and when a few people standing on the edge of the whirlpool put down their hands covering their faces, they saw Shimabukuro Kimi, dressed in black, slowly falling from mid-air and stepping lightly on the water.

Behind her, two gods with bows and hooks curled up with their eyes closed, like a pair of yin and yang embedded hook jade, or a well-defined Tai Chi, silently spinning.

Tang Ze silently observed her stand-in, oh no, the mask, and glanced at Kimie Shimabukuro's strange thief costume and a pair of scimitars in his hand, thinking secretly.

It looks quite religious, but I just don't know what it's like to fight.

Could it be that what kind of mask is used, and which one behind you will spread its bare wings?

Kimie Shimabukuro slowly opened her eyes, stunned as she looked at the calm water in front of her, which had returned to a mirror-like appearance, looked at the sharp blade in her hand, and slowly recovered her consciousness.

“…… Is this the world you see? Shimabukuro Kimie turned her head and looked at the few people who were walking towards her, a little relieved, but she couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"It wasn't so calm before, Lady Secret Treasure." Tang Ze, who was in the lead, spread his hands, looked at the cold and shining blade in her hand, and tilted his head back subtly.

It's hard to mess with......

It may be that the color of the whole body is too dark, and you can only see it when you get closer, she is obviously still wearing a hakama skirt, which is theoretically still the standard of the witch costume, but the whole body is pitch black, as if there is no place for the funeral.

The mask on her face was a red fox mask that covered the upper half of her face, her eyes were round, and the corners of her eyes were flying, with a majesty of anger.

Tang Ze looked at her, then at Asai Narumi, and his gaze circled back and forth between the two of them a few times.

Although the images and emotions are different, the two people are indeed fox faces, one with the upper half of the face and the other with the lower half of the face, as if they had made an appointment.

Sure enough, your island masters are all a type of stand-in messenger.jpg

"Although I should thank you for telling me the truth of the matter in advance, so that I would not be presumptuous and continue to worry about this place...... But now that I think about it, this is also a deliberate thing, right? Shimabukuro Junhui ended her gaze at this dead and silent water, and looked at Tang Ze, who was standing in front of several people, "After all, if it weren't for the stimulation of those words, I might not have made the choice I have made today." ”

The extreme means she chose for revenge were her own decisions, and she couldn't blame anyone.

But when she saw through everything completely, reconciled with the other side of herself, and confronted and rebelled against the fate of perishing alone, now standing in this strange space, she vaguely felt that there was some subtle connection between herself and this place, and even with the island outside it......

Since these monster thieves are well aware of the secrets of the world on this side, their motivation for participating in this series of events and driving changes in the situation is intriguing.

"I also had to do it." Tang Ze, who had made the overall design, saluted lightly, "Whether it is your sudden emotional collapse and uncontrollable sudden natural disasters, or allowing you to continue to carry out the original plan and be seen through by those penetrating detectives, this is not the result I want." It may be rude to meddle in your affairs, but I'm not going to apologize for that. ”

Whether you want to redeem some regrets, or want to keep the situation as controllable as possible, these are certainly not reasons to manipulate and play others.

Tang Ze was well aware, but not ready to change his style.

He made all kinds of choices, always based on only one principle, and that was that he was willing.

What he doesn't like, even if there are thousands of reasonable reasons, he won't do it, falling into a moral dilemma and self-tearing or something, Tang Ze has already passed that stage.

So he calmly looked back at Shimabukuro Junhui's angry fox eyes: "Now, you have abandoned your past identity, erased your past self, and have come to the same place as us. Want to try our perspective and see what it's like to walk in the dark. ”

“…… After deciding to work with you, I don't think I'll have any other choice. Shimabukuro-kune smiled, but still stretched out his hand to Tang Ze, "Please advise, Joker." ”

"Please advise, future companions."

The moment the gloves of the two people touched each other, the crisp sound came as expected.

"I am you...... Thou shalt be my ......."

"Thou hast obtained a new deed here"

……

【Cooperation Shimabukuro Kimie】

【Arcana:Sun Rank1】

[Standing in the city of high-rise buildings, not giving up the pursuit of self because of the embarrassment of origin, returning to the hometown of the old self, walking through the mountains and forests and the ocean, still optimistic and strong.

No matter what situation you are in, you don't give up the steps you want to move forward, even if you have a lot on your shoulders, you don't stop because of the heaviness of your steps - the witch who is trapped by emotions and morals seems to be fragile and passive, but in fact she has a firm self that sees the truth of life and faces all suffering.

She is both the outcast of fate and the darling of Dawn.

Now, the merfolk have turned into bubbles at dawn, and the past that belonged to legends and fog has come to an end.

- The sun has risen. 】

[Acquired ability "Daughter of the Island" (Your animal affinity has increased, and all non-humanoid masks have small critical hits up)]

Karasawa withdrew his gaze to look at the subtitles, and looked at Kimie Shimabukuro who looked more like a ninja or an assassin than Teru Hoshikawa in Shirabura.

After a long time, you look like a shaman, it turns out to be a druid!

"What's wrong?" Receiving the surprised gaze of the freshly baked boss, Kimie Shimabukuro asked strangely, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

"Nothing. What should I call you? In this world, we don't usually call each other by name. Have you figured out your own code name? Tang Ze, who took the buff, skipped the part of getting cheap and selling well, and began to enter the group.

It's like this when you join our monster thief group, it's like you have to give yourself an English name when you take English class, no matter if it sounds good or not, the form still has to go.

"Codename...... Shimabukuro Junhui raised his hand, touched the smooth and cold fox face on his face, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Well, let's call it Karma." ”

Hearing this uncommonly used word, it took Tang Ze a while to think of the pronunciation of this literal translation from Sanskrit.

Karma, or rather, the cycle of cause and effect? It's unexpectedly very suitable for her current image and past.

"Okay, Karma. You have confronted yourself, awakened to your true power, externalized power has become the driving force of internal drive, and you may not have much time left to hold power. Have you figured out what to do with this place? ”

Although Shimabukuro June's authority could have controlled only one small island, after all, it was an existence similar to the Holy Grail.

At this moment, the fusion of the two sides is almost in the final step, whether to complete it completely and let the island disappear in the true sense, or whether to separate it again before losing the power of control, it all depends on Shimabukuro's thoughts.

No matter which one it is, Tang Ze doesn't object to it.

As long as this process does not happen in an instant, there will be no direct flood and flat tsunami after a hard landing.

Now that the two sides are completely integrated, the big deal is that the island is slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea, and there is one less sesame dot on the map, and there is even room to transfer everyone on the island in time.

As for the loss of the resources and homes that depend on them for their livelihood...... It's all been eroded by the Holy Grail, and no one has been angry enough to take you all from the heart, and it's already Shimabukuro June with a good personality, and it's almost there, so I can't ask for more.

"Here."

Kimie Shimabukuro looked around at the space where there was only a layer of water below his knees, and raised his head to look at the gray sky of the impression space.

It's so peaceful, so dead, it's like a real kingdom of heaven.

She didn't know what she remembered, and she quickly smiled.

"Go ahead. Let the island, which has imprisoned too many people, disappear completely. ”

————

At the same time.

The islander, who was waiting for the last hurried to go down the mountain to his house to clean up his belongings, also left the room, and after reading the recitation to Tang Ze, Leon raised his head, looked at Mori Kogoro, who was sitting opposite him, and was briefly speechless for a moment.

He understands everything, things have priorities, and there are so many emergencies, it is indeed possible that he can't take care of so many and some of them.

But is it really appropriate to throw two unlucky eggs who are theoretically unable to act at all here?

But forget it, Tang Ze's side has almost done it, and he doesn't need to last long.

He exhaled softly, leaned lightly against the wooden wall behind him, listened to the wind and rain outside the wall, the cries of terror, the prayers of fear and the cries of despair, and the sound of the waves drowning the rocks, the trees, and the imminent overwhelming of everything.

Everything is like a symphony of rich layers, advancing to the climax of the march.

The two worlds have been completely combined, and in the ruthless judgment of Shimabukuro Kimi, this last trace of distance is about to disappear.

The inhabitants of the velvet, who live in the gap between the two worlds, seem to have felt the vibration of the collision.

So he narrowed his eyes and sighed with some enjoyment.

"Some people watch fun, some people look in the mirror." "Do you feel familiar to see her palms folded mercilessly, guest?" ”

————

"Hey, yes, I'm Heiji Hattori!"

The moment the phone was connected, Hattori Heiji heard the voice from the other side and stood up excitedly.

"Have you found anyone suspected of being a survivor in the nearby sea?"

Based on his understanding of Joker's people, since they had already rescued them, Shimabukuro Kimime must have theoretically been sent to a safe place.

Presumably, the rescue team was unable to find anyone on the island who matched her characteristics, presumably because she wanted to avoid everyone's eyes because of the murder she committed......

However, the answer given by the other side was still so disappointing.

"I haven't found anyone like what you've described, fellow detective." The Fukuoka Prefectural Sheriff on the other side of the phone shook his head and added, "There are people on the island who have provided convincing enough testimony that more than one person witnessed her jumping off a cliff into the sea, right?" ”

"Yes, I'm one of the witnesses."

"Then you should know very well that Heiji-kun Hattori, at that height, in that kind of weather conditions, she has no chance of surviving. Even when she fell into the sea, she still did not die, and when she actually fell into the sea...... Even now, the undercurrents in the waters near the island of the United States are very turbulent, and the drastic changes in the earth's crust have triggered changes in ocean currents, and small ships cannot approach normally, let alone a human being. ”

"I know, but ......"

Hattori rubbed his head with a headache, not knowing for a moment how to explain the red scarf sticking out of the sea.

On the one hand, Joker itself is a gray existence, if the police really find out his whereabouts, there is a high probability that they will arrest people directly, and he is always embarrassed to betray the other party directly after being saved by others.

On the other hand, even if people believe that Joker exists, he can't make people believe the picture he describes.

Was he going to tell the police that he was sure someone was hiding in the sea, but instead of showing up, he stretched out a scarf to save people?

He was embarrassed to say this, and the police were embarrassed to write it down.

"Well, she may have really died at the bottom of the sea." Heiji Hattori sighed and gave up continuing to discuss the topic with the police.

"If there are no other questions, we will treat the clue you provided as suicidal first." The county police on the opposite side couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he felt that the other side's thoughts were too naïve and paranoid, and he really looked like a high school student, he couldn't say these words directly, and he couldn't avoid the other party's questions.

Although Fukuoka Prefecture is still far from Osaka, after all, he is the son of the head of the Osaka Police Headquarters, and it is not a bad thing to be able to form a good relationship in the police world.

According to his understanding, among the additions of several detectives, it is basically certain that for the purpose of avenging her mother, the witch of the island has killed three people, and these three people are friends who grew up with her, and it is not strange that she chooses to kill herself when she is in a broken mood.

Although it is not rigorous enough to characterize the incident purely on the basis of confession, anyway, the deceased is already dead, and the murderer is also dead, and this case even skips the part of investigation and trial, which is very convenient, and it is recorded as a piece of gossip, and it is not a big problem.

The relaxed Fukuoka Prefectural Police answered another question by the way.

"After monitoring that the island of the United States has been hit by an undersea earthquake and other climate disasters, we have applied for the help of the Marine Guard. What you observed at the time was real, that the island of the United States was sinking towards the surface at a constant speed of 1-2 meters per hour. We have contacted the Marine Meteorological Bureau, and the preliminary judgment is that it is a crustal reaction triggered by volcanic activity beneath the island. The island itself is also a sedimentary rock formed by volcanic eruptions, and the geological structure is relatively loose......"

Listening to the chattering explanation on the other side, Hattori was very calm on his face, but his hand was secretly clenched into a fist.

The sudden and sudden stop of the torrential rain, which seemed to be the waves that consciously swallowed up the whole island......

Is this really a natural phenomenon caused by ordinary submarine volcanoes?

He didn't believe it that much, but he could only hesitate to say the opposite.

Did he want to say that Shimabukuro Kimie might have something to do with this natural disaster, so it rained when she began to plan to kill, and when she fell into the sea, the rain suddenly stopped within a few minutes?

Sounds too nonsensical.

Hanging up the phone, Hattori leaned on the railing and let out a frustrated sigh.

A good trip becomes a thrilling adventure, he encounters a puzzle and solves it, but it seems that he only tears a small knot in the yarn, not only does he not find the real thread, but as he pulls, the mess of threads becomes more and more intricate......

Should I go to Kudo and try to get in touch with those guys from the Monster Thieves?

For the sake of these secrets that haunted him, and for the sake of ......

Hattori turned his head and looked at Karasawa who was standing at the front of the ship.

Tang Ze, who had gone through an ordeal and still had a small abrasion on his face, was standing at the bow of the boat, stretched out his right hand, let the seagull land on his arm, and reached out to touch those white and hard feathers, and his smile was not gloomy.

The unlucky guy who suffered the most because he didn't spend much time awake during the whole process, but he looked the most like the one who was fine.

"You ......" walked over and was about to say hello to Hattori Heiji, and noticed that the seagull in Tang Ze's hand flew away, and another seagull landed, as if it was queuing in an orderly manner, and turned to the question on his lips, "How did you make the seagull so obedient?" I guess it was a pretty rogue bird. ”

Tang Ze waited patiently for the seagull in his hand to fly away before turning his head and smiling at him.

"Because I took a lot of snacks, of course." showed the potato chips in his hand, Tang Ze looked innocent, "Then what else can it be, because I wandered in the mountains for two days and became a druid?" ”

That can't be, right?

Okay, the picture is up.

Speaking of this chapter, I can't help but say that I was looking for a few materials about the ancient secretary in the common image of Yukihiko Yama in the search for a few materials about the ancient secretary.

Then I found that all the columnists explaining various Japanese myths and legends have to have three, four, five, six, seven or eight mobile game cards...... It's really hard to hold on.
