It's just a grocery store.

Chapter 179: It’s not just sea monsters that crawl out of the sea, but also people you know

After reminding Zhu Fujingguang at midnight, he was about to turn around and leave, but he ran into Mao Lilan after taking just two steps.

Lingshi: "Hey, Xiaolan, why are you on this ship?"

Mao Lilan was a little embarrassed, but she still told the whole story. After listening to it, Lingshi nodded and couldn't help but sigh that they were really lucky.

Lingshi: "Then do you want to sleep at my place tonight? There's a room available. It's just right that you can play with Conan and the others tomorrow before returning home."

Mao Lilan was a little moved by these words, after all, she was someone she knew, but it was Miss Xia Jiang who helped them when they encountered difficulties before, so she had to tell them first.

Mao Lilan: "Then I have to go talk to Miss Xia Jiang first, and then go find Dad to get the luggage and go over."

Lingshi: "Okay, remember to send me a message when you come over so that I can take you to the room."

Mao Lilan: "Well, okay, then I will go find them first, Mr. Lingshi, you continue to be busy."

Mao Lilan turned around and wanted to leave to find someone, but there was another chaos. Mao Lilan immediately nodded and ran over.

Midnight: ...

Lingshi said it was none of his business. If he didn't go, he would definitely be hurting himself. It would be better for him to go back and report the situation to Huang Quan and then get stuck.

When Lingshi thought of this joyful thought, he wanted to return to the cruise ship where Huang Quan was. As a result, when he was about to cross the two ships, he saw an acquaintance again.

Hey, isn’t this a mermaid? What is she doing? Why are she back? Wait, why the hell are you holding the conch? Hey, this is not the Titanic Theater!

The mermaid in the sea picked up the glowing conch, obviously about to do something, and jumped directly off the boat at zero o'clock. The sea water quickly surrounded her, and she emerged from the water by paddling with her hands and legs.

Zero Hour: "Wow! That jump is a bit high!"

System: More than a little, it's enough for me to take my skin back to the system space for refuge. Host, you suddenly jumped down without saying a word. I can't swim!

The system complained loudly, and Lingshi looked directly at the mermaid opposite. The mermaid's actions were interrupted by the variable Lingshi and stopped.

Zero Hour: "Can you explain now what you were doing just now? Are you trying to retaliate against me behind my back? That's not the case."

She snorted, took out two things and threw them over, and Lingshi quickly caught them.

What a nice dagger! Wasn’t that what he lost? And there’s also a kitchen knife. Uh, could this be the murder weapon?

Zero Hour: A plant!

Isn't this stained with his fingerprints? This is too much. System, can you delete this fingerprint?

System: It’s guaranteed. That’s all. I can do it without any points.

After receiving the system's affirmative response, Zero immediately threw it into the system space for it to process, and then said:

"What is this, a gift?"

"Humph, you humans littered and almost hurt the fish, you know that? I just came back to teach this boat a lesson, stay out of my way!"

"Will anyone die?"

Although Lingshi knew that it had nothing to do with him, he still asked a question. After all, the two ships had just been in contact. If something happened to the other ship at sea, the rumors would be unpleasant.

Besides, it was he who let Jingwu contact him, so he couldn't cause trouble for others, so he had to mind his own business this time.

Hearing this, the mermaid showed an unhappy look, and swung her tail under the sea vigorously, and then said:

"No, just scare them and then throw the garbage up there."

Ling Shi: "Oh, that's fine. I won't bother you then. By the way, wait until our ship leaves before you do it. Some people here can't stand this kind of thing."

"...Oh, I got it."

Although she didn't know which one Lingshi was talking about, she knew that none of them were easy to deal with, so she dived back into the sea.

Reiji actually lied to her. Saiki Kusuo and Natsume Takashi would not tolerate her kind of pranks, but Reiji simply didn't want to cause trouble. What if that group of people also came over?

At zero o'clock, he fooled the mermaid away and then remembered the most important thing: how was he going to get up?

He was soaking in the sea water at midnight, looking as if he was indifferent to life, but in fact he was just thinking about how to get out in a decent manner.

First he couldn't fly, then he couldn't climb, and finally he chose to ask for help.

Midnight: Kusuo, the great psychic, can you hear me? Please, please save me.

Saiki K: ...Can you please stop always thinking of me first and calling me that? I really sound like the good-for-nothing dad at home.

Lingshi: It doesn’t matter, your dad and I are good friends regardless of age difference, we are good brothers!

Saiki K: ...No need, he's just an alcoholic uncle who drinks every time he comes.

Midnight: Sob.

Although Saiki Kusuo sounded and looked disgusted, he still came over with a swimming ring and a rope to salvage the midnight oil from the sea.

"Great! I'm saved! Thank you, Kusuo. Please do me the honor of coming to Harrow for ten servings of premium coffee jelly."

Saiki Kusuo: "Don't think you can buy me off like this."

Although he said that, he was actually secretly happy in his heart. You should know that if an insincere man keeps holding it in, he will become a repressed and shy person like Kusuo.

Lingshi blocked the system from hearing this inner voice, lest he hear it. He let go and let Lingshi fall. A second impact in the water would be bad, bad...

Zero Time, who was soaked in the sea water, was successfully rescued by Saiki Kusuo. After returning to the boat, the dripping Zero Time thanked Saiki Kusuo and then dragged himself back to the room with a trail of water to take a shower and change clothes.

When Lingshi returned to the room, he didn't see Huang Quan. Maybe he was still outside. So Lingshi opened the suitcase and took out some clothes and went into the bathroom.

The wet clothes stuck to my body and were very uncomfortable. Now I could take them off and it felt as refreshing as getting out of a tangled sack. However, the dry hair had grains on it when I touched it.

Midnight: ...

Pure sea salt! I'm going to explode! I'm going to hate sea water and hate it all day long!

At midnight, he was complaining angrily. He turned on the hot water and poured it over his head. Only then did he stop muttering and scrub his hair carefully.

Fortunately, short hair is not particularly difficult to wash. In short, it is much easier than long hair. I washed myself quickly at zero o'clock and came out of the bathroom with steam. As a result, I saw a group of people in my room.

Midnight: ...I'm just taking a shower, I don't need a bunch of people watching.

System: Fortunately, I reminded you to put on your clothes before coming out.

Zero Hour: You knew it a long time ago, right?

System: Meow.

The system escaped underground, and Lingshi could only look down at the group of little guys.

"Why are you here?"

The three children switched from their previous mode of searching around to being good kids and stood in front of Lingshi. Just as they were about to speak, Huang Quan came in from outside.

Ayumi: "Because we found water trailing all the way, we concluded that someone must have climbed out of the sea. And then followed them all the way into your room, Uncle Zero!"

Guangyan: "Yes, we asked Uncle Huang Quan to come with us."

Midnight: ...Thanks for the invitation, I’ve become a sea monster.
