Sure enough, after starting a large-scale scan, Helena discovered that Ming Miao's position was moving rapidly. She thought he was taking a taxi or some other means of transportation and was heading out of the city.
Helena sighed again, "So, why don't we just go to the destination and wait for her... I know the location..."
Phoenix waved his hands, "Oh, that's not so easy - er... I mean, it's so dangerous... We went out to protect Ming Miao, so of course we have to escort her all the way."
Helena was about to say something when the large group behind her came over and decided to go shopping in the mall.
"I haven't seen Susu for several days. I miss her a lot. It's rare for her to come here, so we plan to buy some things to bring back for her. How about you two go?"
Helena felt relieved when she heard this. After saying hello, she took Phoenix to the roadside to stop a car.
You know, she followed out secretly this time, so the probability of being exposed was quite high. If the other ship girls went together, it would be strange if they were not discovered.
Although she had already distanced herself from Ming Miao, fortunately Helena knew where the destination was, so she was not afraid of missing it. After giving the address, she went straight there.
When the driver heard the location, he looked at Helena in surprise, and then gave them a heads-up while driving.
"Young man, don't be too curious... There's nothing to see there, just a dilapidated grave. Is it worth spending a hundred bucks to go there? Besides, it's not easy to get a taxi back there."
Helena felt that there was something fishy going on, so she started chatting with the driver, "Uncle, from what you said, a lot of young people have been going there recently?"
"That's right. I've given it a ride several times."
"Why did they go there? Can you tell us?"
"Hmm? From what you said, you're not going to shoot a video?" The driver was a little surprised. He glanced at the beautiful Helena and Phoenix through the rearview mirror. "I want to keep an eye on you guys."
Helena smiled and said, "No, my friend said she wanted to go play around there, but we weren't interested, so we followed her to take a look."
"Oh……"
The driver didn't say whether he believed it or not. He just responded and started explaining to Helena and Phoenix.
"That place has been very popular recently. I don't know who spread the rumor online that you can see ghost lights there. There must be something unclean there."
"What era is this now? Why do people still believe in this? Isn't the will-o'-the-wisp just spontaneous combustion? What's the big deal?"
"Will-o'-the-wisp? So they all went to see the will-o'-the-wisp?"
"I think he went there to shoot a video." The driver looked a little bored. "It's a way to make money, but it's not easy to succeed."
Helena nodded in agreement, and then suddenly remembered that Ming Miao said that she "heard the news on the Internet" and decided to go to the cemetery to look for someone.
So, if there really were any supernatural events, they were probably caused by Ming Miao's rival?
Thinking of this, Helena breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relieved. Although she herself was a very magical being, she would still be afraid when she should be afraid.
In contrast, Phoenix seemed very excited. He chatted with the driver about this topic from time to time, and even talked about various remedies to exorcise souls, which made Helena feel cold all over.
The road from the city center to the suburbs is still very long, but fortunately there is the lively atmosphere of Phoenix along the way, so it is not boring, and Ming Miao's position is always under radar detection.
When they arrived at the destination, the two got out of the car and said goodbye to the driver. Then Phoenix turned around and became his thieving look again.
"Helena, don't stand so straight, squat down quickly, what if you are discovered..."
Helena pursed her lips and didn't tell her sister the news that "Ming Miao is about one thousand meters away from us", allowing her sister to immerse herself in the agent's situational drama.
Anyway, she has radar detection, so she can let her sister play for a while longer. When she is about to get close to Ming Miao, she will still have time to squat down.
The two of them walked forward, one high and one low, and after passing several groups of young people who were taking pictures with their mobile phones, they turned into a forest.
There are not many people in the forest, probably because the trees are too sparse. A place like this where they can see everything at a glance basically won't arouse their interest.
But Helena knew that Ming Miao was not far ahead, so the two of them walked straight through the woods and saw the lush bushes ahead and a green-haired figure standing in the distance.
"Hurry up and squat down."
Phoenix muttered a few words under his breath, then pulled Helena to squat in the bushes, took out two telescopes, gave one to Helena, and started observing.
Helena was also defeated by her sister's behavior, but the telescope was already in her hand, so she would rather not use it. So she followed Phoenix's example and raised the telescope in the direction of Ming Miao.
The originally far distance was suddenly shortened in the telescope, and Helena could clearly see that the green-haired Ming Miao was indeed talking to the strange girl opposite.
The girl had shoulder-length black hair, wore a black kimono, and seemed to be wearing bunny ears like those from Lafite?
"What a weird combination..." Phoenix complained quietly.
Helena was just curious. After seeing the girl, she didn't want to continue looking. So she planned to put down the binoculars and persuade Phoenix to go home. As a result, she accidentally saw the groups of people around the girl in the sunlight.
There was a not very conspicuous will-o'-the-wisp fire.
Helena: ???
Just when she wanted to take a closer look, the girl seemed to have noticed something and suddenly turned her head to look at her. Helena was startled and wanted to pull Phoenix away quickly, but she heard Phoenix bring
The sound of anger.
"Oh Helena, I'm still watching, don't touch my head."
"Well, stop touching me, I'm your sister, okay..."
"Um...Helena!"
Phoenix passively shook her head and put down the telescope, wanting to glare at Helena to show her older sister status, but she ended up seeing Helena holding the telescope tightly with both hands and looking at her with a pale face.
"...your hand is here? Then the one on my head is..."
"???"
Helena looked at Phoenix, who still seemed to be being patted on the head. After confirming that there was nothing behind or above him, the suppressed fear suddenly burst out.
“CLEVELAND!!!!!!!!!”
Chapter 357: The Psychic Merchant
"So..." The black-haired girl, who was standing on the ground, looked at the two people squatting on the ground and trembling silently, and asked Ming Miao casually: "Do you know these two cowards?"
"It's too rude to describe a stranger you meet for the first time like this, meow..." Ming muttered a few words, confirming the other party's guess, and then took two steps forward to pull up the two sister ships that had run into a ghost in broad daylight.
"Why are you here, meow? Is there something urgent you need to talk to me about? You can just call me, meow."
The sudden capture made Helena feel frightened and a little embarrassed. On the contrary, although Phoenix was a little afraid of the unfamiliar ship girl, she was very frank when facing her sisters.
"We were just curious and wanted to know what you were doing in the cemetery, so we followed you."
Ming Miao was stunned. "Then why don't you just come with me, Miao?"
"I'm afraid you won't agree..." Phoenix touched the back of his head embarrassedly, then cast his gaze towards the girl who was looking around, shrinking his neck, "You came here... just to find her?"
"Yeah, I'm not sure if she's really here, I just wanted to try my luck." Ming Miao said and looked around, "Is Cleveland here too? Why don't I see her?"
Helena, who was squatting on the ground to calm down, turned red on her pale face when she heard this. But she didn't know what to say, so she just shook her head to deny it and wanted to let the matter go.
As a result, after Ming Miao mentioned this, Phoenix, who had not paid attention to what Helena shouted, also reacted, and the look in his eyes when he looked at his sister suddenly became a little suspicious.
Helena stood up quickly and took Ming Miao's hand to ask her to introduce herself. "Ming...Ming Miao, you just said you know her...so she is the...uh...competitor you are looking for? Why don't you introduce her?"
"Competitor?" The black-haired ship girl was stunned when she heard this. "You are flattering me. Your business has been so prosperous recently. How can I be your competitor?"
"Huh? Are you jealous of me, meow?!" Ming Miao reacted very quickly. Just as he was about to make a mockery, he suddenly felt as if he was hit by something. He covered his forehead and let out a soft cry.
"Ah, it's okay, come back." The black-haired girl called out to Ming Miao in front of Helena's horrified look, and then nodded to the others, "Just call me Shiranui."
"Shiranui? The destroyer from Sakura Empire?" Phoenix became bolder after confirming the other party's identity. "Hello, hello, how did you do this will-o'-the-wisp that can fly everywhere? It seems a bit
Cool.
Shiranui looked at Phoenix with a wooden expression, "Ah, he's a hot-blooded idiot."
"Hmm? I think I'm passionate too. People should always be positive... So what are these will-o'-the-wisp?"
Shiranui frowned and controlled a small ball of purple-gray will-o'-the-wisp to float out. "Okay, okay, I get it. I'll give you one. Go play with it."
So Phoenix really acted like a naughty kid, chasing the flickering will-o'-the-wisp and running to the side, looking quite happy.
On the other hand, Helena, who was not so thick-skinned, was somewhat afraid of this strange destroyer, and she did not forget that she had just seen Phoenix being rubbed on the head by something.
Shiranui noticed Helena's gaze, and then sent another will-o'-the-wisp closer, "Do you want one too?"
Helena retreated behind Ming Miao with a pale face and smiled stiffly, "No... No thanks, thank you..."
Seeing this, Ming Miao casually waved his sleeves to drive away the will-o'-the-wisp, then looked at Shiranui helplessly, "Don't tease her, meow, I have something serious to discuss with you, meow."
"You famous, are you waiting for a profiteer to come to me for something?" Shiranui looked over expressionlessly, "Tell me about it."
"Um... you know meow, although our relationship wasn't particularly good before, it was... not bad, right meow?"
Shiranui nodded, "Indeed, if you hadn't thought of taking my paper money that time, I think our relationship would have been better."
Hearing this, Ming Miao laughed awkwardly twice despite Helena's look behind her, who was looking at him as if he was crazy. "Ahahaha... that... that was a misunderstanding, meow. Who told you to always lock up those paper money so tightly, meow..."
"...That was something I left for her. I wanted to use it to buy new clothes, but once you touched it, she didn't want it anymore." Shiranui tilted her head slightly to the right and looked at the empty space. "You...
I still owe her an apology."
"Uh... I already apologized, meow..."
Shiranui nodded, "I know, but she didn't respond to you, which means she doesn't accept your apology."
Ming Miao was furious, "Whether 'she' responds or not is completely up to you, meow! I can't see it at all, meow!"
Shiranui pretended not to hear Mingmiao's protest and turned to look at Phoenix who was running around chasing the will-o'-the-wisp. It felt like he was teasing a dog.
When the other party was almost tired of playing, she called the will-o'-the-wisp back, then turned around and asked Ming Miao: "So what do you want from me?"
When talking about the purpose of her visit, Ming Miao had to be serious, so she coughed twice, organized her words, and then stated her purpose.
"I need a meow to settle the accounts."
"..."
"Don't disbelieve me, business is so good that I'm often too busy to handle it, so I want to ask you if you'd like to work for me, meow... Ah, of course, the salary will definitely not be low, meow!"
Upon hearing this, Shiranui looked at Mingmiao carefully, as if she was trying to determine whether the words were true or not, but in fact she was just considering Mingmiao's employment invitation.
Her store business has been average for a long time, and coupled with the constant changing of sales locations, Shiranui's financial situation is not very good.
But she actually doesn't care. As a businessman, she has to be open-minded. Sometimes she can make a living for a whole month after opening a business. Therefore, Shiranui is not dissatisfied with her current situation.
But having said that, it would certainly be better if she could become richer. Besides, constantly moving places is very costly, and she needs to have enough supplies to do what she wants.
Ming Miao's business is so good, if she opens her own store next to Ming Miao, wouldn't she be able to get so many potential customers for free?
After thinking clearly about the interests involved, Shiranui muttered a few words to the air, then nodded, and said to Helena's suddenly pale face:
"Okay, then I'll go work for you for a few days, but you can't delay my selling things during the working period."
"Deal, meow!"
Chapter 358 Invisible Rival?!
Su Xiaozhi had a very comfortable time these days because her aunt who came to visit had left and the experiment was basically over. She could be considered to have safely passed the critical period.
Yes, the dangerous period of virginity.
Having suffered two setbacks, Akagi has not dared to be too presumptuous recently. After all, the hair at the tips of her tails has not grown fully yet, and she doesn't want to have more bald spots.
As soon as Akagi became quiet, the port area immediately became harmonious, which made Commander Su Xiao very satisfied. However, the only flaw was the sulking Lafite.
Ever since that day when she touched Akagi (referring to shaving her hair) in front of Rafi in the kitchen, Rafi seemed to have suffered a major blow and has been quite silent for a lot.
Although Lafite would still respond to Su Xin's words, he spoke significantly less, and most of the time he was staring at the little conductor, as if he wanted to poke a hole in her with his eyes.
This made Commander Su feel inexplicably guilty. Although she knew she had done nothing, she felt uncomfortable under such gazes.
Especially when she came out of Ming Miao's equipment store in the evening, in order to prevent Akagi from smelling the smell of other ship girls that was accidentally stained on her, she had to go back to her room to take a shower before eating.
But Rafi basically lived with her, which meant that every time she opened her door, she had to go into the bathroom to take a shower under Rafi's gaze, and then she would have the chance to talk to Rafi.
"...Why do I feel like I'm doing something bad behind my family's back..." The little commander thought wildly while being sprayed with hot water by the shower head.
"Come to think of it, Laffite seems to wake up suddenly in the middle of the night recently..."
"Last time I woke up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I saw Rafi trying not to fall asleep and looking at me. It must be an illusion, right?"
"...I suddenly feel a little scared. What's going on?"
The young commander thought about it and silently raised the temperature of the hot water a little bit. Then he quickly washed himself and put on his clothes, and walked out with his skin flushed.
After changing her clothes and looking up, she saw that, as expected, after she came out, Lafite was forcing himself to stay sleepy and fixed his eyes on her. The level of concentration made Su Xiaozhizhi feel a little embarrassed.
She felt that she had to talk to Lafite. It was okay for her to remain silent, but if it affected Lafite's sleep, Su Xiaozhizhi would think that the situation was a little serious.
So Su Xin wiped her soft long hair, walked to Lafite's side and sat down. After staring at the white rabbit for a while, she finally gave in shyly.
