Chapter 703

The tourists on this island now are basically all heavy superstition patients who came for the mermaid legend.

They were originally the main audience for those bizarre news.

They already loved feudal superstition and loved chasing after god-mothers and masters.

Whether it's the Longevity Granny or the Onmyoji, they are all stories they like to hear.

So on this America Island, among these out-of-town tourists who are superstitious about metaphysics, the reputation of the Onmyoji is naturally much louder than in other places.

The fans were full of enthusiasm as they squeezed around Chi Chufeng.

"Is the Onmyoji master here to fight with the Mermaid master?"

Huh?

Fight?

Chi Chufeng had a forehead full of black lines.

I am a peace lover, why would I fight for no reason.

"You misunderstood, I am here to visit the Longevity Granny."

Chi Chufeng separated the crowd and walked toward the inside of the shrine.

Conan and Hattori Heiji just happened to arrive at the shrine, and seeing Chi Chufeng, they both curled their lips.

"This guy is really too flashy."

"Yeah, he's the focus of the crowd wherever he goes."

In front of the main hall, a beautiful woman with dark brown hair and wearing a shrine maiden outfit came out to greet them.

"I am the shrine maiden of this shrine, Island Bag Kimie. My great-grandmother is not feeling well, so she asked me to come out to greet the Onmyoji master."

Island Bag Kimie said while looking at Chi Chufeng curiously.

I don't know why, but this man has an inexplicable attraction.

"It's nothing, I was also commissioned by someone to come to the island. I heard there is an immortal Longevity Granny here, so I came to take a look," Chi Chufeng said with a smile.

Island Bag Kimie heard this and said helplessly:

"Really, who said my great-grandmother is already immortal? She just lived longer than ordinary people, and so many rumors spread!"

"Uh, is that so?"

Hattori Heiji leaned closer and scratched his head, saying:

"But we heard from Miss Kuroe Naoko, who works at the souvenir shop, that Miss Island Bag Kimie's great-grandmother is immortal because she ate mermaid meat."

"Also, the reason why Miss Saori Kadowaki went missing is also because she lost some Salamander Arrow and was afraid of mermaid revenge, so she fled the small island."

"Ha? My great-grandmother ate mermaid meat?"

Island Bag Kimie was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chi Chufeng from the corner of her eye, and covered her mouth and laughed.

"How is that possible! Naoko is talking nonsense, mermaids don't exist in this world at all! As for the Salamander Arrow, its original intention is just a curse-forbidding arrow that represents exorcising evil spirits."

"Also, I have heard Saori say that she lost the Salamander Arrow and was worried about mermaid revenge."

"That was four days ago. I asked her to accompany me to the mainland to see a dentist, and she told me in the hospital. However, the so-called mermaid revenge doesn't exist at all!"

A woman's voice suddenly came from the side: "Kimie, you are too stupid! The reason you would say that is because you don't believe in your great-grandmother's power at all."

Island Bag Kimie was stunned upon hearing this, turned her head to look at the side, and said in surprise: "Sumire?"

Sumire smiled lightly, and Hattori Heiji asked curiously: "This lady, what exactly is the power of Miss Island Bag's great-grandmother that you mentioned?"

"Of course, it's the thought-form she attached to the Salamander Arrow!"

Sumire answered seriously.

"I remember Kimie's great-grandmother once said that the Salamander Arrow was originally insurance for exorcising evil spirits, but once you let go or lose it, the monster will nest in the owner's body."

"If it's a man, he will enter the earth and become an evil ghost without a heart. If it's a woman, she will enter the water and become a mermaid who cannot speak."

"Ha, there's such a thing?" Conan looked incredulous.

He rolled his eyes and asked Chi Chufeng: "Brother Chi, do you believe in the existence of mermaids?"

Everyone's eyes looked over.

Chi Chufeng thought for a while and said: "If I remember correctly, there were mermaids appearing more than a thousand years ago. It is a kind of aquatic creature with a head like a human, fine teeth like a fish, and scales covering its whole body."

"It is said that at that time, a man named Takahashi lived in Obama, Wakasa. He caught a mermaid. Because everyone felt disgusted and didn't dare to eat it, only his daughter, who was curious, ate the mermaid meat."

"Later, Takahashi's daughter lived for a full eight hundred years and finally died with a smile beside a mountain spring. She was called Eight-Hundred-Year Bikuni by later generations."
