Conan’s Corpse Picker

The moment she came out of the water, the mermaid's wet hair spread out in the wind, and the crystal-like scales on her cheeks were exposed.

It was supposed to be a beautiful scenery that was pleasing to the eye, but when Kidd saw it with sharp eyes, his heart suddenly thumped, and he instinctively felt that something was not good.

The next moment, his eyes moved down and landed on the mermaid's slender tail.

Kidd: "..."

Kidd: "…………"

Kidd: "!!!"

Before he could react, the man had already raised his hand and held down the mermaid's shoulder.

The mermaid was startled and a little surprised: This human being is really enthusiastic, and he actually put his arm around her immediately when he came up. Facing Jiang Xia all the year round, she thought that her current appearance was not in line with the aesthetics of teenagers.

I was feeling a little secretly happy, feeling that this Phantom Thief had a great eye for beauty.

The next second, Kidd burst out with great strength under the desire to survive. He closed his eyes tightly and pushed the mermaid out of the water back into the river.

There was a huge splash of water.

Jiang Xia looked at the mermaid that was flat on the water, losing its elegance, and the rising water: "..."

After Kidd threw the fish, he quickly retracted his hand and shook the water on his hand, still in shock.

Suddenly, he found that Wutian Gou was watching him silently, and he suddenly remembered: he seemed to have thrown the helper Wutian Gou invited.

Suddenly he felt a little embarrassed: "Well, I didn't mean it. It's just, just..."

Jiang Xia: "..." I don't mind too much, after all, it's not me who fell so ugly.

but……

Suddenly a parabola passed in front of my eyes.

——The Egg of Memories burst out of the water with a splash and fell into Jiang Xia's arms.

Jiang Xia subconsciously raised her hand to catch it, vaguely feeling that she understood something.

The next moment, the boat beneath him suddenly tilted.

…

The ship is not that big. In order to fish people out of hiding, Terai Huangnosuke built a small boat similar in size to a hand-cranked boat.

Although this makes it difficult for people passing by the river to notice, it also makes it convenient for the angry mermaid.

The mermaid was pushed back into the river, dazed for a moment, and finally came to her senses. In anger, she capsized the boat with her tail.

The moment the boat capsized, a figure floated into the sky - the flying puppet was just convenient. Jiang Xia shook the water splashed on his clothes and looked towards the river.

Kidd was still on the boat, and he obviously hadn't fully recovered yet. He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly woke up: "Wait...GuluGuluGulu——"

"..."

Jiangxia came down a little from the sky. He looked at the angry mermaid and found that she was angry, but she really had no intention of drowning the Phantom Thief, so he turned to look at the boat lying upside down on the river next to her.

He used a lot of strength to flip the boat back with a crash.

Then he dropped the water, fell back inside and sat down, looking down at the heavy "Egg of Memories" in his hand.

Jiang Xia: "..." What a big egg.

After being stolen by Kidd, the content of the energy core inside did not disappoint.

Jiang Xia raised her sleeves to wipe the river water on it, put it to her mouth and gestured. She felt that the egg was so round that it was hard to swallow. Moreover, it will be returned to Suzuki's house later to catch Shi Kaobing, so it is best to finish it as soon as possible.

Thinking this, he looked around calmly.

I found that the only living person nearby was still trying to escape from the clutches of the mermaid in the river, and no one paid attention to what he was doing. Jiang Xia turned her back to Kidd and the mermaid, opened the puppet's mouth as wide as possible, swallowed the egg in one gulp, sucked out the energy core inside quickly, and then took it out again.

Everything happened so fast, and under the darkness of night, no one saw this horrifying scene.

After Jiang Xia took out the energy core, he looked down at the memory egg in his hand and found that it had become a little dimmer like the previous collections that had been sucked. However, there is nothing wrong with all the parts and components. It is still the same precious egg. It will recover after being left for a while. Shi Kaobing should still take the bait.

…

After eating the energy core, Jiang Xia thought of the person who worked hard to steal the egg.

He turned to look at the mermaid: "Okay, he just..."

After a pause, he swallowed back his "hateful fish" words silently: "It's just that I've never seen a mermaid before, so I was too nervous and couldn't control my intensity for the moment."

The mermaid has a short mouth and feels the influx of energy cores.

She snorted, lifted Kidd out of the water, shook him, drained the water, and threw him back into the boat.

Kidd fell onto the board with a thud and wrapped himself tightly in his wet cloak: "...Sneeze!"

Jiang Xia thought of something and looked at the coat next to her - as expected, if there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure. Won't the clothes that Terai Huangnosuke prepared for falling into the water come in handy? The old man is quite unpredictable.

He picked up his coat and put it over Kidd's body in a friendly manner, hiding his merit and fame.

Kidd had mixed emotions: "...thank you."

...Wisty Dog is actually quite considerate. However, it would be better if this coat wasn't even more wet than what he was wearing.

Fortunately, it's summer, so it's not too cold.

Leaving the river at night, Kidd gradually recovered.

He sighed sadly, feeling lingering fears about what he had just encountered: the new monster was too irritable. In comparison, Kiritengu was really a good person... No, he was such a good monster.

I was denouncing the terrible fish in my heart.

At this time, there was a sudden splash of water next to it, and something jumped onto the boat.

"!!!"

Kidd turned around and saw the mermaid that suddenly became fierce: cold hands, cold scales, and cold eyes.

His eyes touched the mermaid's tail, and Kidd quickly looked away.

He looked up at the sky and silently moved away from the big fish. He ran out of words to try to cover up his fear: "Well, you monsters actually make friends with each other, hahahaha, it's really amazing...but... You are in the sea and he is a monster in the mountains. How do you know each other?"

The mermaid can't speak human language yet.

Jiang Xia thought for a while and answered for her: "The recipes are relatively similar and the interests are similar."

Kidd: "?!" Mermaids also like to eat dried human meat strips? !

...No, no, that's not right, you have to try to remember that the foggy dog ​​doesn't eat people, it's a good monster... The recipes he mentioned should refer to the collections he stole.

Thinking this, Kidd glanced at Jiang Xia.

Seeing the dim egg of memories in Wutian Dog's hand, he suddenly realized something and was startled: "..." The treasure Miss Mermaid retrieved was actually eaten by Wutian Dog first?

...Tengu-san is actually at the top of the youkai food chain?

Thinking of this, the image of Wutian Dog in his mind suddenly became a little higher.

Kidd: "..." If that's the case, would it be possible to make this fish look at him eagerly next to him...

Jiang Xia soon received a look from the Phantom Thief asking for help.

He looked at the mermaid and found that after washing Kidd, the angry fish had obviously calmed down.
