Chapter 860 The Misery of the Mermaid

Saturday, January 6, night, Ogasawara Islands, Tomoshima Islands, Tomoshima Oyama.

Hearing that Shimabukuro Junhui meant to say goodbye, Yamazaki sighed: "We are able to meet again here because of fate, so I will help you.

"Help me? What do you mean?" Junhui Shimabukuro was puzzled.

Yamazaki asked: "May I ask, Ms. Junhui, are you thinking, is the price of this excitement worth it, is it worth paying for it?"

"You, you..." Junhui Shimabukuro's face changed.

Mei Daizi asked: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"

Yamazaki said: "More than 40 years ago, when the mermaid legend began, my family sent people to the island to investigate, not for longevity but for the legendary things. If there is a legendary creature like a mermaid, then it will There are other legendary creatures."

"Yes, yes, for example, demons and ghosts." Mei Daizi smiled, and then asked, "Then what did you find?"

Yamazaki said: "Nothing was found at first, and that person stayed there. It wasn't until a few years later that Priest Mikoto Shimabukuro became seriously ill that he found out."

Mei Daizi said: "What's the problem with being sick? There is no legend in the legend that eating mermaid meat will prevent you from getting sick. It only says that you will live a long life, or even live forever."

"Let me explain first." Yamazaki said, "The Shimabukuro family is located on a hill near the shrine. Except for the mayor of Tomojima, few people come and go. And the mayor of Tomoshima has always been a member of the Kobayashi family, because their family is The inheritance of medicine has been of great help to the residents of the island. Since Mikoto Shimabukuro took over the post of priest of the Mermaid Shrine, she has never been out of Tomojima, so everyone thinks that she has never been sick. But in fact, Shimabukuro Priest Miqin has been sick, and every time he got sick, the mayor of Kobayashi used traditional Chinese medicine to heal him. This is when the investigators discovered that Priest Miqin Shimabukuro had a cold, and then the mayor of Kobayashi went to Shimabukuro’s house , the bag of cold medicine appeared in the garbage of Shimabukuro’s house that day, so I inferred from it. And that time, priest Mikoto Shimabukuro announced that he would practice at home for half a year. It was inferred that she was seriously ill."

"What's the matter?" Mei Daizi asked.

Yamazaki said: "Half a year later, Priest Mikoto Shimabukuro appeared, but the investigators made an astonishing discovery through contact with her. She is no longer her."

"Wait, let me think about it," Mei Daizi asked, "Does it mean she was impersonated?"

"No, it was replaced by someone. Judging from the fingerprints, it is the daughter of Priest Shimabukuro Mikoto." Yamazaki said, "Not long after Priest Shimabukuro Mikoto announced that he would not see any guests, the daughter and son-in-law of Priest Shimabukuro Mikoto went fishing. , and died."

"Isn't it? Is it her daughter who played it?" Mei Daizi asked suspiciously, "But the appearance can be adjusted, but what about the figure? Are all the people in their family so short?"

"That's it." Yamazaki stroked his thigh with his hand.

Mei Daizi was taken aback, "No, no way? The sacrifice is so big?"

"Don't say any more," Shimabukuro called, and then began to cry.

"I'm sorry to bring up your sadness, but since we are destined, I will tell you some things." Yamazaki said, and then said: "Investigators have also been investigating for several years, until the island at that time After Priest Fukuro Mikoto announced that he hadn't seen any visitors for half a year, the investigators speculated that something would happen to the Shimabukuro family, so they followed Miss Junhui's grandmother, and then found the hospital where Miss Junhui's great-grandmother underwent surgery, and found some information. The daughter and son-in-law of the priest Mikoto Shimabukuro were in a shipwreck that year, but only her son-in-law disappeared, and the daughter was rescued, but she lost consciousness in one leg. It is speculated that the priest Mikoto Shimabukuro persuaded her daughter , it should be for the sake of the residents of the island, let her daughter become the new priest Mikoto Shimabukuro after her death, the investigators later named the priest Mikoto Shimabukuro at that time,

It is called Shimabukuro Mikoto Priest II. "

Mei Daizi asked: "Huh? Could it be that there will be more later?"

Yamazaki said: "Miss Junhui's great-grandmother Shimabukuro Mikoto Priest I, her husband died before she founded the Mermaid Shrine. It seems that she had no money for medical treatment. She founded the Mermaid Shrine when she was in her seventies. , worked as a priest for several years, and died at the age of nearly eighty, the cause of death is unknown, it is presumed that he died of natural causes when he was older."

"Miss Junhui's great-grandmother, Shimabukuro Mikoto II, her husband disappeared in the shipwreck. Shortly after Shimabukuro Mikoto I announced her closed door for half a year, she took office by feigning death at the age of sixty. The priest who had been serving for several years died at the age of seventy, and the cause of death was an infection at the amputation site."

"Miss Junhui's grandmother, Shimabukuro Mikoto III, her husband also disappeared in the shipwreck. One month after Shimabukuro Mikoto II announced that she would be closed for half a year, she took office by feigning death under the age of 50. I have been a priest for more than ten years, and died at the age of nearly seventy, and the cause of death was suicide due to unbearable."

Mei Daizi asked: "Then is the current priest Mikoto Shimabukuro the mother of Miss Jun Hui? That is the priest Mikoto Shimabukuro IV?"

"Yes, it has been nearly ten years since Priest Shimabukuro Mikoto IV pretended to be sick and died in office." Yamazaki said, "Her husband also disappeared in a shipwreck, half a year after Priest Shimabukuro Mikoto III announced the closed door Two months."

Mei Daizi asked: "Such a coincidence?"

Yamazaki said: "I don't know if it is a curse obtained by borrowing the name of the Mermaid God without permission, or it is the price of forcibly prospering the supposedly declining Tomoshima Island. The four generations of the Shimabukuro family have given birth to daughters, and before the previous generation passed away, Their husbands would go first, they would all be lost in shipwrecks, and then they would all go down the same path."

"Ah!" Mei Daizi cried, "By the way, brother, you are real, you know it's fake, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"The priest Mikoto Shimabukuro is fake, but the mermaid god or the existence that made Shimabukuro pay the price may really exist." Yamazaki said with a smile, "So, the money spent is nothing, maybe it really has some effect. .”

Mei Daizi asked, "Huh? Is it true?"

Yamazaki said: "After the investigator reported that Shimabukuro Mikoto III announced the closed door for half a year, my mother sent a team to help Miss Junhui's father, trying not to let him go into the sea, but the accident finally happened."

Junhui Shimabukuro said: "It turns out that the principal Fukuyama of the consistent school on the island is from your family."

Yamazaki said: "He just reported some situations to let us know that his mission had ended long ago, but he decided to stay."

Junhui Shimabukuro shouted: "Our family does not need sympathy."

"Yes, your family should be respected and even admired by others. If it weren't for your family's contribution, Zhidao would have become a deserted island." Yamazaki said, "It's just that you are very confused now, because only a few people are involved in this matter. I know, so your family has not received the respect it deserves, and if you leave this island, although the people on the island will not live well, they can still live. Is your family’s silent and selfless dedication really true? worth it."

"Yes, I was thinking about this," Shimabukuro said, and then called out, "Why our family, why they can enjoy the fruits of our family's blood and blood without doing anything, why we have to pay for this island So many, these are why!"

Mei Daizi said: "Since you don't want to do it, then just don't do it."

"No," Shimabukuro Junhui said with a bitter smile, "It would be great if it could be as easy as you said."

"Brother, why is this?" Mei Daizi asked.

"If they didn't do it, people on the island would say they were selfish, and that couldn't be explained, because the Shimabukuro family committed at least a very serious crime of fraud in this matter, and they are now in a bind," Yamazaki said. "

Junhui Shimabukuro took a deep breath to adjust his mood, and then said to Yamazaki: "You said you want to help me, are you just telling me these things? If there is nothing else, I will go back."

"Please wait a little longer, this is just to tell you that I know everything about your family." Yamazaki said.

Junhui Shimabukuro asked sarcastically: "Then, you who have great powers, can you help me solve this problem?"

"Dedication and selfishness, whether you care about other people's opinions, or insist on your own choice," Yamazaki said, "No one can convince you except yourself."

Junhui Shimabukuro said, "What else do you have to say?"

Yamazaki said: "What I said can increase the bargaining chip in your heart that is biased toward selfishness."

Junhui Shimabukuro asked, "What is it?"

"Mikoto Shimabukuro is 130 years old. The mermaid legend about her seems fake to you, but many people half-believe that she is real." Yamazaki said.

"It's better to believe it." Mei Daizi smiled, "This is the reason why the price of the mermaid festival can be so high."

Junhui Shimabukuro asked Yamazaki, "What do you mean?"

Yamazaki said: "Needless to say longevity, longevity is very attractive. It is not just my family who sent people to the island to investigate the truth. The higher-ups, the six major financial groups, and some foreign forces have also sent people to investigate."

Junhui Shimabukuro was taken aback, "What, what!"

Yamazaki said: "Don't worry, you haven't been exposed until now. You listened to Fukuyama, didn't give interviews, didn't leave fingerprints everywhere, etc., which saved a lot of trouble. It's just that technology has advanced rapidly in the past ten years. Your mother and Your physical signs and information are probably already recorded, so no matter how you change, you won’t be able to replace her, as soon as you replace her, it will be exposed.”

Junhui Shimabukuro was silent for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled, looking relaxed, probably letting go of the burden in her heart.

"It seems that you have already thought about it," Yamazaki asked, "What do you plan to do next, how about being an actor?"

"Oh? It seems that you even know about my film club when I was in college," Junhui Shimabukuro asked with a smile, "Look at me, I'm really rude, I haven't asked for advice yet..."

Yamazaki said with a smile: "You are a student of Mihua University, you should know the name Mei Daizi."

Mei Daizi asked, "Huh? Are you from Mihua University?"

"It turned out that Ms. Mei Daiko was in person, so it is our wife who asked President Fukuyama to help us. It is our honor." Junhui Shimabukuro said with a smile, "Please continue to take care of me in the future."

Mei Daizi asked, "Do you want us to help you find a job?"

"Thank you for your kindness. I have many classmates and friends who work in the moon department. It is enough for them to take care of the work." Junhui Shimabukuro said, "Only legally speaking, my mother has passed away."

Yamazaki said: "If you can convince her, we can create a new identity for her. You just need to talk to Fukuyama."

"Thank you so much." Shimabukuro Junhui saluted.

"You're welcome," Yamazaki said.

"I'm going back to help, so I'll take my leave first. I wish you all a good time." Junhui Shimabukuro said with a smile.

Mei Daizi asked: "Well, Miss Jun Hui, can you do me a favor?" Then she explained the matter.

"Uh," Shimabukuro Junhui laughed for a moment, "It should be fine."

"Great, thank you." Mei Daizi smiled.

"You're welcome." Shimabukuro Junhui said, then said goodbye and left.

Mei Daizi asked Yamazaki: "By the way, brother, do you think mother has ever been to this island? Have you ever eaten the dugong meat blessed by God?"

"I don't know if we've ever been to this island, but we've all eaten that meat before." Yamazaki said with a smile, "I'd rather believe it."

Mei Daizi said: "Then do you want to bring some to Aunt Yingli and Uncle Suzuki this time?"

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Don't worry, every family has a copy for them. Also, uncle stayed in the dining room, I'm afraid he just wanted to take some back."

"You must tell Lan." Mei Daizi smiled, "Let's go find them."

"Okay, but don't talk about Miss Junhui." Yamazaki said.

"Understood, I must not say it." Mei Daizi said. ...
