Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

the next day.

Kitagawa Taki has packed up and is ready to go to Mermaid Island.

Mermaid Island is located in Wakasa Bay, Fukui Prefecture, and you must take a ferry to get there.

Kitagawa Taki drove Dr. Agasa's Beetle to the boarding port.

Because Tokyo is about 500 kilometers away from Fukui Prefecture, Kitagawa Taki had to set off early.

Almost 6 hours later, Kitagawa Taki finally arrived at the boarding port.

"I'm so tired!" Kitagawa Taki opened the car door, got out of the car and stretched his waist.

I looked at the time and it was already past three in the afternoon.

So, Kitagawa Taki found a small inn nearby, planning to rest for a night and then take a boat to Mermaid Island early the next morning.

The next day.

Kitagawa Taki got up early in the morning, had breakfast, and hurried to the port to buy a ticket and board the ship.

Today is the day of the annual Dugong Festival on Mermaid Island, so many people who come here to see it are crowding the port.

Kitagawa Taki arrived early and successfully got on the first ferry.

The ferry sailed slowly on the vast sea. Kitagawa Taki leaned on the railing of the boat and looked at the small island in the distance.

The sea breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of fresh air.

At this moment, two men and one woman walked together to a place not far from Kitagawa Taki.

Several people were talking in very low voices, but as a cultivator, Kitagawa Taki's five senses were much stronger than those of ordinary people, and he heard every word of their conversation.

"Brother, is it really necessary for us to investigate such a ridiculous rumor?"

The man called Big Brother glanced at the other woman without saying anything.

The woman said calmly, "Rumors may also be based on facts."

Hearing that someone was also here to investigate the rumor about Mermaid Island, Kitagawa Taki couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the three of them.

Two men in black and a young woman.

One of them was tall, with long silver hair and a black top hat. The hat and bangs covered most of his face.

The other man was of heavy build, wearing sunglasses and the same black top hat.

The remaining woman was young, fashionable, beautiful, and had short brown hair.

With these obvious features, Kitagawa Taki recognized the three people at a glance.

Isn't this gin, vodka, and Miyano Shiho? !

The murderous aura on Gin is even stronger than that on Shuichi Akai. It's obvious that he is a man who kills without blinking an eye.

Relatively speaking, vodka is much weaker.

Kitagawa Taki stared at the few people without any concealment, and the three of them naturally noticed his gaze.

Miyano Shiho took a look at Kitagawa Taki and thought that this man was very handsome and had a good dressing style.

Vodka whispered, "Brother, that kid keeps staring at us. Is there something wrong?"

Gin said coldly: "Don't worry about him, he's just an ordinary person."

He had just observed Kitagawa Taki and didn't detect any dangerous aura.

Vodka nodded and said, "I think that guy looks like a pretty boy."

After several months of recuperation, Kitagawa Taki has become much whiter.

When he heard what Vodka said, he looked away, his face full of black lines.

"I'm just a little whiter and more handsome than you, why do I become a gigolo?"

I silently made a note of the vodka in my heart.

Kitagawa Taki was not surprised that these three people appeared here.

The winery seems to have been researching the elixir of life, so it is normal for them to come to this island where there are suspected immortal old people to investigate.

After dozens of minutes, the ferry finally docked at Mermaid Island.

Miyano Shiho walked in front, with Gin and Vodka following closely behind her.

Kitagawa Taki followed the few people from a distance. When he saw Vodka finally stepped on the ground, he used the ground spike technique and tripped Vodka with a small ground spike.

"Ouch——" Vodka fell to the ground with quite a noise, and the people around him couldn't help but look at him.

Vodka quickly stood up, brushed off the dust on his clothes, wiped his face with a handkerchief, but found that his chin was bruised.

Gin looked at Vodka silently and walked away without looking back.

When Vodka saw his elder brother leaving, he quickly followed him, but he felt quite depressed. He clearly felt that he kicked something just now, but when he looked down, he saw nothing, which made him inexplicably embarrassed in front of his elder brother.

As a senior executive of the winery, Vodka is very skilled, so how could he fall while walking?

Miyano Shiho looked back and felt a little surprised. Although the ground was a dirt road, it was quite flat. How could such a big person fall on the flat ground?

Beichuan Taki felt a little relieved. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years. He would take revenge on the spot.

After tricking Vodka, Kitagawa Taki began to observe the island.

People were coming and going on the island, all preparing for the Dugong Festival in the evening.

Many small stalls have been set up on the street, selling mermaid amulets, dugong pies...all kinds of mermaid-related products.

Kitagawa Taki picked up an amulet and took a few glances at it. They were all ordinary items without any spiritual power, and he immediately lost interest.

As for dugong pie, he bought a box, tasted it, and found it tasted good, so he bought a few more boxes and planned to take them back for Dr. Agasa to try.

Gin and the other two in front were already asking the locals about mermaids and immortality. In fact, it was Miyano Shiho who was doing the questioning and investigation. Gin and Vodka followed her closely like two dedicated bodyguards.

Vodka whispered: "Brother, the body of the mermaid and the dugong arrow..."

The three had just learned from the locals that the body of a mermaid had appeared here two years ago, and its bones were buried in the mountains near the shrine.

During the Dugong Festival in the evening, three dugong arrows will be randomly distributed to three people who come to participate in the festival.

The dugong's arrow is a talisman of immortality. According to legend, whoever possesses it can achieve immortality and eternal youth!

If you want to be eligible to draw the dugong arrow, you need to sign your name on the shrine's roster and then receive a number plate.

In response to Vodka's question, Gin just said "hmm".

Then, the three of them headed towards the shrine, and Kitagawa Taki followed.

Like the name of the island, this shrine is also called the American Shrine.

At the entrance of the shrine, priests were registering names and distributing number plates.

Gin and the other two wrote their names on the roster one after another, namely Kurosawa Jin, Uozuka Saburo, and Miyano Shiho.

Kitagawa Taki wrote his name behind Miyano Shiho and took a number plate.

After doing all this, Gin and the other two headed towards the distant mountains and forests.

Kitagawa Taki had no intention of following them. It was okay for him to follow them before when there were so many people, but it would be too obvious if he followed them now, so he just walked around the shrine.

On the way, he met a beautiful woman wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume, but what caught Kitagawa Taki's attention was not her appearance, but her spiritual power.
