Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

[Priest: Something seems wrong. Is Miss Grace's power really that strong?]

[Fisherwoman: I only controlled the water vapor to surround the island. I didn't do anything more. This shouldn't be the case...]

[Prophet: Needless to say, the two ancient gods must have been involved.]

[Spellcaster: Then the amulet we made is useless? Could the Yellow Lord actually be tempted by the Dream Witch?]

[Dream Witch: You can't say that. Our lives are so long, we should always find some fun for ourselves.]

[The Lord in Yellow: It's just a little weather manipulation. It won't have a bigger impact.]

[Prophet: Even that's an exaggeration. (Wiping sweat)]

[Spellcaster: I wonder if there's any place on this island where we can take emergency shelter.]

[Priest: I guess so. There are many people who covet the mermaid's tomb. There might be some caves in the back mountain where they can hide.]

[Prophet: The villagers are all frightened and panic-stricken. It seems we can't rely on them.]

[Spell Master: Sure enough, only those with hidden agendas would be afraid of these so-called curses.]

[Priest: It's not so much a curse as it is a tragedy caused by deception.]

[Dream Witch: So that's how humans are. Once they get something good, they immediately want more, until they finally disregard the facts, become consumed by their own desires, and fall into madness.]

[Prophet: It's time to end the lies that have lasted for three generations.]

At this moment, seeing this natural disaster-like scene, the villagers were all panicked.

"Mermaid, it's the curse of the mermaid!"

"The mermaids are coming for our revenge!"

"It's all Shoumei and the others' fault. It has nothing to do with us!"

"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have concealed that matter from the young people on the island. Otherwise, Jun Hui wouldn't have let the mermen seek revenge on us."

Hearing this, Conan and Hattori Heiji immediately grabbed the villager and asked:

"What do you mean by concealing something?"

"The longevity goddess has always been fake, a gimmick created to attract tourists."

"Before, it was Jun Hui's mother pretending to be her, and after the fire, it was Jun Hui pretending to be her. The older generation all knew it."

Now it was Conan and Hattori Heiji's turn to be shocked.

"In other words, in order to prove the legend of the longevity goddess and the mermaid, you concealed the news from the young people on the island."

"Have you actually been treating Miss Jun Hui as a tool to make money?"

"We didn't want to do that either. It was Jun Hui who took the initiative to pretend to be the longevity lady, and we just followed her wishes..."

"No one expected those young people to believe it and test it!"

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but feel the absurdity of this matter.

"Such a lie can be passed down for three generations..."

"Don't just stand there, Hattori. The most important thing now is to evacuate the villagers to shelter. Judging from the situation, a tsunami is about to hit!"

"I understand. I'll go help you right away."

[Priest: Oh my God, there's a tsunami.]

[Prophet: Fortunately I didn't bring Brodevi here, otherwise she would definitely complain...]

[Spell Master: Stop talking about this nonsense. We have to find shelter too.]

[Priest: By the way, where is Miss Grace now?]

[Fisherwoman: In the cave in the back mountain, Miss Junhui seems a little too excited right now.]

[Dream Witch: Oh, that little girl won't become your fanatical follower, right? How interesting~]

[Fisherwoman: She kept saying things like "mermaid's blessing" in front of me. I was so embarrassed.]

[Prophet: Miss Grace, I'll have to ask you to play the "Mermaid God" for a while. Conan and the others might run into you later.]

[Spell Master: Indeed, everyone else has gone to seek refuge, and only these two are still looking for Miss Jun Hui.]

[Priest: I dug a long cave in the back mountain. If anything goes wrong, you can escape from there.]

[Fisherwoman: Thank you so much, Miss Fiona.]

The raging waves had already washed up on the beach, submerging the low-lying houses. People took refuge in the shrines on higher ground, and fear and anxiety spread among the crowd.

"Ran, I didn't see Heiji. Did you see him?"

"Conan is missing too. What should I do?"

"Let's go out and find them!" After saying that, He Ye took Xiaolan's hand and wanted to go out.

The villagers, their hearts already filled with fear, shouted to stop them:

"No, you can't go out! You'll attract the mermaids!"

"You still have the dugong's arrow in your hand. It will definitely attract the mermaid! Drive her out!"

The evil of human nature was fully demonstrated at this moment, and many villagers echoed the sentiment, saying that what had been a blessing yesterday was now the source of disaster. The villagers surrounded the two and tried to drive them out of the shrine.

Maori Kogoro quickly protected the two girls: "You must be joking! This mermaid blessing and curse is all fake! This is a normal natural disaster, stop it!"

On the other side, Conan and Hattori Heiji finally found Shimabukuro Kimie in the cave in the pouring rain.

Shimabukuro Kimie was filled with enthusiasm. She put fish scales on her face and arms and knelt before the "token" given to her by the fisherwoman. After noticing Conan and Hattori, she turned to face them.

"You two, have you seen this? I have been blessed by the mermaid!"

"Now, Master Mermaid will help me take revenge on those ungrateful and hypocritical villains!"

Hattori Heiji interrupted her:

"Don't be so stubborn, Miss Junhui. This is just a disaster that happened by chance. There are no mermaids at all!"

Conan added: "Although they are responsible for your mother's death, most of the villagers on the island are innocent. It is wrong to kill people for revenge. You should punish them according to the law."

"It's too late. They pushed me to this point."

"I used to think mermaids were fake, just legends, a fabricated trick to deceive people."

"But I've seen real mermaids!"

"She's beautiful, strong, and someone who truly understands my situation!"

Shimabukuro Kimie's expression became more and more crazy.

"Mr. Mermaid, please show your beautiful figure to these ignorant people!"

The cave suddenly burst into brilliant light, and the fisherwoman appeared from the ripples, her colorful fish tail reflecting various lights.

This stunned the detective duo. Hattori Heiji even whispered to Conan in disbelief, "Hey, Kudo, is that really a mermaid?"

"Impossible! This is probably some kind of human experiment..."

Somehow, Conan remembered the Oritis Organization, and soon, his doubts were answered.

"Hello, Kudo Shinichi, I'm a member of Oletus, codenamed 'Fisherwoman'."

Conan was about to respond when he heard another word.

"I am speaking directly to your spirit now. Others cannot hear it, but I can hear it as long as you think of what you want to say in your heart."

Conan was surprised and asked in his heart: "What do you want to do?"

"For the obsession with revenge." After answering, the fisherwoman took Shimabukuro Kimie and disappeared in a splash of water.

The sky also cleared up at this moment, and the tide receded, leaving behind a devastated village.

The subsequent incident was handled unexpectedly quickly. The police finally reached the island through the layers of fog and confirmed that the mermaid legend was false. The villagers had been using the gimmick of the longevity woman to attract tourists and profit. Shimabukuro Kimie murdered Saori, Sumi, and Naoko and fled the scene.

Now that the villagers have lost their longevity lady, they all sigh as they look at their dilapidated houses.

Without a way to make money, when will the island have a chance to prosper again?

Standing on the deck of the return ship, Conan carefully recalled the appearance of the fisherwoman and became more convinced that it was the result of human experiments. The tsunami could also be explained as a weapon that could interfere with the magnetic field.

He told Hattori Heiji this idea along with the information about the Oritis organization, and Hattori Heiji was shocked.

Under the clear sky, Brodevi flew against the sea breeze and landed on the prophet's shoulder. The prophet smiled mysteriously at the two of them: "Did you hear that, both of you? What comes from the sea breeze is the wailing and groaning of mermaids."
