“……”

“…………”

Inside the cabin, Lindsay and Valawala stared wide-eyed.

The first condition for the [Stealth] skill to activate is that it cannot be in the enemy's attention range.

The mermaids were fooled, but Valawala was clearly not among them.

The girl looked carefully at Lindsay in front of her, and after a while, she also realized the gradually decreasing sense of presence on the other party.

But neither of them spoke.

It wasn't until the merfolk of the Red Sea had searched the entire ship that the current in the cabin receded.

Confirming that the danger was leaving, Valawala asked Lindsay:

"Lindsay, your posture can still make the mermaid ignore you?"

Lindsay replied frankly:

"It's a manifestation of my craft."

Walawala was naturally a little curious:

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked yet, what is your skill?"

"Gamers." Lindsay replied, "If according to the Seven Seas Alliance, it's a kind of art connoisseur, right?" ”

"Gamer ......"

Valawala had a strange complexion.

She knows that playing games also builds skills.

But it is absolutely impossible to have the powerful reconnaissance and combat abilities of last night like Lindsay in front of him, and at the same time take into account the hidden effect of reducing the sense of presence today.

However, Lindsay is a brave man!

How can a character who can experience that kind of wonderful adventure and achieve success not be special?

Don't open your mouth with Lindsay.

Walawala herself convinced.

She knew that Lindsay had some secrets to hide, so she stopped clinging to them:

"So, Lindsay, what are you going to do next?"

"These Red Sea merfolk don't covet me, but a handsome guy like you is undoubtedly their first target. Or you can stay on the ship while I bring you food. Wait until the messenger of the City of Thousand Sails comes, and then leave? ”

Lindsey shook her head in refusal:

"It's not my habit to hide and do nothing."

"As for now—I'm going to investigate the situation first and make sure that these Red Sea merfolk don't kill people, and I'll find a way to leave."

Lindsay had one more scruple in mind.

- The red marker displayed on the Map.

These Red Sea merfolk are judged to be hostile targets by their abilities.

He wasn't sure if the forced courtship was counted as hostility or if there was something else going on in there.

This kind of thing can only be investigated in detail to have accurate results.

Walawala has some concerns:

"Lindsay, I can see that your skill is reducing the sense of presence, and it is indeed very useful."

"But this tendency is very different from the complete disappearance of the Hidden Ones, what if it is discovered?"

Lindsey replied calmly:

"Don't worry, I have a solution!"

Walawala was puzzled:

"What's the way to deal with so many merfolks?"

"Hey! Animals in heat are unreasonable! ”

"You are not one of those life scholars in Volcano City who take the path of [Individual Strength], your skills have reached a high level, you can control your body at will, and even your gender can be changed."

“……”

"Lindsay, why don't you speak?"

“……”

"What the hell is your solution?"

Lindsey didn't say a word.

Vala Vara is able to sense emotions and is almost a natural lie detector.

Now once he speaks, he can use his game skills to change his gender, and he will immediately be recognized by the other party.

This kind of thing......

At least for a new friend who had only known each other for two or three days, Lindsay was embarrassed to admit it.

Lindsey and Valawala left the cabin one after the other.

Nearby, there were still a few Red Sea merfolk wandering around the boat, but most of them were no longer serious.

Lindsay and Walawala cooperate in action, and with stealth skills, they easily slip out.

Wait for the two of them to set foot on the island.

The first thing that catches your eye is not the big island in front of you, but the storm outside!

The storm that struck the fishing boat last night did not go away, it was hanging over the nearby sea, and thunder flashed from time to time in the clouds.

Only near the island, a safe zone was vacated, like the eye of the tornado.

"This storm ......," Lindsay stared.

[Storm at Sea - The power of the storm with the ability to distinguish between friend and foe.] 】

"Distinguish between friend and foe, is this storm caused by a mermaid?"

Lindsay frowned as she looked at the information she had discovered.

Walawala on the side immediately gave a negative speech:

"Impossible! The Red Sea Merfolk do have some special abilities, but they are mainly in terms of seductive singing and manipulating the sea. I've never heard of a mermaid who can do this kind of weather-related ability! ”

Explain the abilities of the merfolk of the Red Sea.

Walawala also looked out at the storm in the distance.

If you are appreciating works of art or musical dramas, girls naturally have no problem.

But the majestic storm at sea in front of me ......

Aside from the grandeur of the picture, there is nothing to be seen in Valawala.

"Lindsay, are you sure this storm isn't a natural one?"

Lindsey replied without hesitation:

"I'm pretty sure it's the result of a technical appraisal."

Get such an affirmative answer.

Walawala was also aware of the subtlety of the matter, and her tone was extremely complicated:

"Whether it's using music to evoke a storm or painting something like this, you need at least seven artists to do it."

"Who would do such a thing to watch merfolk reproduce?"

Lindsey quietly opened the map.

This time, he expanded the range of his skills, and the target of reconnaissance was no longer these Red Sea merfolks, but the islands ahead.

Sure enough.

The fish boat they were on was not the only target of the merfolk in the Red Sea.

Near the grid-like shallows, there are red, green, and yellow markings everywhere, and it is clear that many human males have been murdered.

But deeper on the island, Lindsay also saw a lot of markings of different colors.

Pointing to the mountains in the middle of the island, he asked:

"Walawala, the Red Sea merfolk can't move so deep on land, right?"

Walawala replied with great certainty:

"Absolutely not!"

"Unless they're moving along a river, if they're more than 100 meters ashore, they're no different from stranded fish."

Lindsey nodded slightly.

He took out a bottle of Eagle Eye Elixir and drank it, then held up his binoculars and peered into it.

"Forests, rivers...... Sure enough, there were wooden buildings built by humans, and smoke from campfires. ”

"Valawala, there's a lot of human activity in the middle of the island!"

Hearing that something was wrong, there was no panic in the girl's eyes at all.

She realizes that she is not stumbling into the courtship scene of the mermaid of the Red Sea, but a more complicated situation!

"Interesting, so interesting!"

"Lindsay, there must be deviant artists here, they're doing some special event, I ......"

Lindsey directly interrupted Valawala's excitement:

"Listen, I think there's two things to do right now."

"One is to go to the sea and see the specific condition of the storm, which is related to whether we can leave smoothly; The second is to find out the truth about this island and confirm whether there will be any other dangers. ”

"Let's work together to get the job done as quickly as we can, right?"
