Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

"Yes, yes, yes! I almost forgot about this." Hattori Heiji slapped his head and quickly changed the number he dialed.

"Moshimoshi! Sister Xiaolan, something bad has happened. Brother Heiji and I..."

"Hello! Is that Mom? Listen to me, use the emergency contact method you have saved to inform Dad, I'm on the American Island..."

“Found traces of monsters!”×2.

……

"Have you discovered a monster?" Iwanaga Kotoko looked at the monster in front of her with a confused look on her face. "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"Yes, Princess!" The little monster was trembling all over, with a look of fear on his face. "Because there are usually not many monsters willing to go there to play, so we have never found it."

"But I don't know what the two human detectives found out. They grin from time to time. The kid with glasses even has a reflection in his glasses, which scares the monsters."

"Then they tracked down the trail into the spiritual field and found the holes that Master Tai had poked with your cane. They inexplicably borrowed two sets of diving equipment and jumped into the water."

"After notifying the monster in the sea, they tracked it all the way, and then found traces of monster activities where the pool connected to the sea."

"Because of the princess' order, some monsters chose to continue to follow the two human detectives, while others continued to investigate based on the traces... and then found in that desolate sea... a giant monster that was over 60 meters tall, had a fish tail, and exuded a deathly aura that made monsters afraid to approach!"

"In addition to the huge monster, there is also a human corpse... Because they are too close to the monster, the monsters dare not get closer to observe it carefully, so they hurriedly turned back and let the fastest one to inform you."

Chapter 20: Shimabukuro Kimie: Accidents always happen faster than planned

Because it was the day of the Dugong Festival, all the islanders were busy making money, so it was inevitable that some people would be careless.

Naoko Kuroe was found missing, and her relatives went to her house to call her to get her out of the room again, only to find that the door was locked, the windows in the room were open, but the person was missing.

The first thing the Heijiang couple did was to call Fukuyama Rokuro.

After all, as far as their daughter's interpersonal relationships are concerned, Shimabukuro Kimie is now playing the role of the longevity lady to make their funds shine for the next quarter. The only person who might still accept her is her childhood sweetheart Fukuyama Rokuro.

But after receiving the response of "I'm not aware of it" from Fukuyama Rokuro, the couple became a little panicked.

After all, a lot of strange things have happened in recent days.

Moreover, those who died mysteriously were all members of their childhood sweethearts' small team.

They were worried that their daughter would also be enshrined in the underworld.

So the couple began to look for their daughter separately.

Mr. Kuroe went directly to the Meijima Shrine, intending to ask Shimabukuro Kimie in person... After all, she had a history of taking in Saori Kadowaki who ran away from home.

Mrs. Heijiang asked the neighbors and passers-by around her house one by one.

The main focus is not to miss any clues.

As a result, instead of asking about his daughter's whereabouts, he ran into a few crazy people shouting "there is a monster".

If her daughter's whereabouts were not more important, she would have planned to have a big fight with those passers-by tourists who were tarnishing the reputation of "Mermaid Island".

God knows how much damage a "monster rumor" that emerged on the day of the Dugong Festival would cause to the island.

……

Inside the American Island Shrine.

Shimabukuro Kimie, who was already dressed up as a longevity woman, looked up at Mr. Kuroe's face, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

It would have been fine before she knew the truth, but after knowing the truth, and looking up at the family members of the perpetrator who knew that the person who killed her mother was her own daughter but still turned a deaf ear to it, Shimabukuro Kimie's inner anger almost caused her acting to fail.

Even if there is a mistake, the other party will immediately pretend to be deaf and blind.

"Junhui has been accompanying tourists today and has not met the children of the Heijiang family." The subtle change of voice made Mr. Heijiang stunned for a moment.

Ever since the incident three years ago, out of guilt, he never visited the Shimabukuro family again, but when he heard this voice after a long time, he felt that it was exactly the same as three years ago, without a trace of incongruity.

But the long-buried guilt surged up again, causing Mr. Kuroe to not dare to look into Shimabukuro Kimie's eyes.

"Oh, so that's the case. Then, I'll look somewhere else." Mr. Heijiang turned around and ran away in embarrassment.

"Dear Kimie, we have found traces of a monster! It's not safe here anymore. You'd better come with me to remind the tourists outside to leave the island and seek refuge." After Mr. Kuroe left, the sliding door on the side suddenly opened, and Akane Shinjo appeared in front of Kimie Shimabukuro with an anxious look on her face.

"Monster?" Shimabukuro Kimie couldn't help but burst out with her real voice this time, "Did you really find traces of a monster?"

"Well, although the monsters in the sea don't dare to approach, they have been monitoring the monster's movements from a distance." Iwanaga Kotoko's figure appeared behind Shinjo Akane, "and the monsters also found a corpse not far from the monster."

"A corpse? Could it be my mother..." Shimabukuro Kimie couldn't help but crawl to Iwanaga Kotoko using all fours and looked at her expectantly.

"Unfortunately, that was a complete body, not a skeleton." Kotoko Iwanaga shook her head and replied.

"How could it be..." Shimabukuro Kimie lowered her head in dismay, but soon raised it again, "If it's not my mother, then the body that appeared around the monster couldn't be Naoko? Just now, her father came to me specifically to inquire about Naoko's whereabouts."

"It cannot be determined yet, but it is very likely," replied Kotoko Iwanaga.

"By the way, where is Naruto-kun?" Shimabukuro Kimie couldn't see a third person on either side, so she looked at Iwanaga Kotoko and Shinjo Akane with some confusion and asked.

"He went to the scene." Iwanaga Kotoko narrowed her eyes and replied, "After all, sometimes the narration ability of monsters is a challenge to human cognition."

"That's too dangerous." Shimabukuro Kimie couldn't help but sigh.

"Anyway, we don't need to worry about Taiyi. He has experienced more dangers than this one. Let's use the prestige of the 'Longevity Lady' to persuade the tourists." Shinjo Akane urged again.

"Prestige..." Shimabukuro Kimie scratched her head in confusion. "To be honest, I don't think the longevity lady has any prestige. After all, the publicity to the outside world is just that she lived a little longer."

"But it has never reached the point where everyone will trust me once I say it."

"Not to mention, there are also the local residents of the American island who know the truth." Shimabukuro Junhui reminded with a gloomy face, "I'm worried that they will refute me."

"Whether or not the monster really exists, as long as it doesn't appear before their eyes, they have reason to doubt it."

"That's a possibility, but there might be people in the crowd who will believe you and choose to take refuge." Xin Tiao Qian continued to persuade, "If one more person can avoid the monster's attack, it will be a good fate."

"Let me give it a try." After hesitating for a moment, Shimabukuro Kimie shrank her body back to the posture of a 'longevity woman', and then without even taking the bow, she slowly moved towards the door.

"Kotoko-chan, are the monsters ready?" Akane Shinjo looked at Kotoko Iwanaga and asked, "If those people dare to riot or attack Kimie-chin, we will immediately take Kimie-chin and run away."

"Don't worry, I have specially dispatched two monsters who are known for their strength to guard Miss Shimabukuro." Iwanaga Kotoko replied, patting her chest.

"But, Sister Akane, as long as you get serious, you are really good at building relationships with people." Kotoko Iwanaga looked at Akane Shinjo with admiration and praised her.

"Well, that's the setting after all." Akane Shinjo looked away awkwardly.

Well, no one doesn't like Xin Tiao Qian.

This is the setting that "God·Akane Shinjo" set for her own image.

Although the power of this setting has been greatly reduced after traveling through a world, it still allows Shinjo Akane to build friendly interpersonal relationships with kind-hearted people in a short period of time.

However, now Iwanaga Kotoko is an exception.

This girl acted so close to her, it was purely acting, there was no real emotion at all.

Chapter 21 Islanders: New business opportunities are coming

"Is the movement trajectory of that giant monster heading this way?" Taiyi asked, standing on the beach, looking at the sea that looked particularly gloomy against the backdrop of the night.

"Yes, Master Taichi. Although we don't know why, the giant monster is circling this island." A kappa was standing trembling not far behind Taichi, looking at the sea with a horrified face. "With the current speed of the giant monster, it will reach the beach here in about three minutes. Everyone in the sea is now evacuating urgently. Let's leave here quickly."

"You all should leave first. I'll wait and see here for a while." Taiyi looked down at the Kappa boy who was trembling with fear and wanted to leave first, and waved his hand to signal him that he could run first.

"Then the little one will go first!" Kappa shouted as he ran.

[“Aix, have you found anything?” Taiyi asked Aix about the current situation through an internal meeting in his mind.

"I slightly violated the rules and operated the navigation radar on the nearby fishing boats, and I was able to barely capture the monster's figure." Aix replied, "But I don't recommend engaging in underwater combat with the opponent. The opponent moves too fast in the sea water."

"Moreover, the enemy's trajectory seems to be intended to create large whirlpools in the deep sea to prevent ships from entering and leaving the island. Those whirlpools will also become obstacles in our underwater warfare."

"But will the other party land on the island?" Mordred asked.

"Not sure." Axe responded, "We can only act according to circumstances and must not act rashly."]

Taichi immediately informed Iwanaga Kotoko, who was still making preparations at the shrine, of Aix's speculation over the phone.

It’s better to find a safe place to take refuge on the island instead of going out to sea.

Going out to sea in this situation would only mean giving away lives to the monster.

“(Groan)…”

Taichi held his head with both hands, veins bulging.

"It's coming again." Taiyi murmured, "Did you hear it just now? That voice."

[“I heard nothing.” Mordred responded.

"I didn't hear it either," Minamoto no Raikou responded.

"Just now, an unknown electromagnetic wave was detected!" Aix's response finally made Taiyi feel at ease. "Although we can't detect the specific details, that kind of electromagnetic wave has the effect of affecting human brain nerves."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the few people who were lured into death earlier were probably manipulated by this kind of electromagnetic waves."

"But this kind of electromagnetic wave is targeted at specific people. I can only barely detect it because of my data body. Why can you, Taiyi, capture this signal out of thin air?" Aix was puzzled.]

"I don't know about that either." Taiyi shook his head and replied, "Anyway, Aix, just focus on capturing the monster. Once the people on the island have evacuated, we can find a way to force the monster to the beach over here. Then we can use dual SIM cards and dual standby to defeat the monster!"

The card carrier has two installation areas, so Taichi can equip both the 'Mordred Armor' and the 'Minamoto Raikou Vajra' at once.

When the time comes, he will stand on the shore and fish with electricity.

……

After turning on the speaker she found in the warehouse, Shimabukuro Kimie raised the speaker, put it to her mouth, and then tried to adjust the sound to the maximum volume in a strange, hoarse tone.

"Dear tourists! Dear islanders! Grandma has discovered that there are traces of the giant monster around the island! I'm afraid the Dugong Festival cannot be held as usual! I hope you can evacuate to a safe place under the guidance of the local residents of the island!"

The originally noisy conference hall suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at the "weird old woman" with heavy makeup at the entrance of the shrine at a loss.

"Longevity lady! Are you kidding me? Monsters or something..."

Some tourists complained loudly in dissatisfaction.

But some local residents of the island seemed to remember something and turned their heads to look in the direction of the shrine warehouse.

"Come to think of it, those tourists we tied up and are going to send to the police station tomorrow seemed to be spreading rumors about the existence of monsters on the streets, which is why..."

"It should be a joke... After all, we all know the truth about the so-called longevity lady..."

"But, Saori and Sumi both died mysteriously in the past few days, and I heard that Naoko is also missing, and the two people from the Kuroe family are still looking for her everywhere..."

"Could it be that the person who did it is actually..." The person who said this looked up at Shimabukuro Kimie who was still shouting hoarsely into the loudspeaker at the entrance of the shrine, "You said there was a monster at this time in order to convey the idea that the murderer is a monster to everyone?"

"Then what are we going to do?"

"Want to cooperate with her?"

"Anyway, our vendors have made enough money these days. Besides, the rumor of a monster appearing at the Dugong Festival will probably spread the reputation of our island even further. Just like the Itomori Town, maybe for a while, every day on our island will be like the Dugong Festival."

"Well, then cooperate!"

“But where will the shelter be located?”

"Go discuss it with the village chief."

Several middle-aged men squeezed out of the crowd with their heads down.

And Shimabukuro Kimie was still trying hard to persuade all the tourists present.

Not long after, a group of people dressed as local residents came running over and assisted the "Longevity Lady" in persuading the tourists.

"Since Grandma Changshou said so, it must be true!"

"Everyone, hurry up and evacuate with us!"

Shimabukuro Kimie was a little stunned as she watched familiar faces stand out from the crowd one after another to lend a helping hand.

Only after the tourists were half-dragged and half-pushed to the so-called "shelter" and the scene gradually became empty did Shimabukuro Kimie turn around and return to the shrine.

"Have you heard the reason why they acted so quickly?" Shimabukuro Kimie asked Iwanaga Kotoko, who looked unhappy.

"Those people took your advice as a gimmick and planned to take the opportunity to spread their reputation." Iwanaga Kotoko shrugged and replied, "After all, they know which is more profitable, holding a dugong festival once or holding a dugong festival every day."

"Really... haha." Shimabukuro Kimie smiled bitterly, "What about the so-called shelter?"

"It's an exchange center set up by the government," Iwanaga Kotoko replied. "They don't even want to open the bomb shelter."

"Air-raid shelter? They converted that thing into a freezing base for storing fish a few years ago." Shimabukuro Kimie sighed helplessly, "If this continues, can we really avoid the disaster brought by the monster?"
