Chapter 440 – Underwater City Beautiful Sheriff
I’ve been to many worlds, but I ended up coming to a world under the sea.
I felt that the world was truly wide and that people could live anywhere.
“The building over there collapsed. Are you okay?”
“Yeah, you don’t have to worry that much.”
A wild sea king species caused a building on the outskirts of the city to collapse, but Sheriff Maring didn’t care much.
“At least one building will be built soon.”
“Really? Uhm.”
“If you’re curious, would you like to take a look?”
“Huh? Uh huh.”
I was curious about how a collapsed building in the sea was rebuilt. Normally I would have gone straight to work, but since it’s been a while since I’ve been out, other things caught my eye.
And I felt like I knew how a married man felt. When I got out of the house, I just felt good.
I headed towards the collapsed building with Maring.
At the collapsed site, there were people wearing clothes similar to Maring.
And those people were holding strange round guns and aiming at the collapsed building.
-Boom!
The beam was fired.
The collapsed building slowly disappeared.
“You erase it like some kind of eraser?”
“It’s a transmission device, so it was sent to the underground city. Most of the underground city is a repair facility.”
Let’s nod our heads at Maring’s words.
This time, everyone at the scene connected the round gun to the numerous building materials next to them.
Afterward, a beam was fired towards an empty lot.
Then, as a blue light appeared, the first and second floors of the building gradually increased in height, and soon a different building from the one seen earlier was erected.
“Wow. It was built in less than an hour.”
“Are you excited?”
“Huh. The original building took several years to build. That’s amazing.”
The underwater city was not created for nothing.
Creating a building in an instant, as if summoning someone.
It certainly seemed like the technology here was the best in the world.
Looking at this. I trusted Maring’s words that Negrol was possible in other dimensions.
“I think I’ve seen it all. Now let’s go.”
“Okay, let’s go quickly and catch the criminal.”
I was full of energy thinking about playing in the princess’s room.
I followed Maring all the way.
The place we arrived was a scene with red and blue sirens shining.
On the outside, it looks like an ordinary city mansion…
“Are you here, Sheriff?”
As soon as we arrived here, there were many people wearing clothes similar to Maring.
One of them approached Maring. I saluted with great spirit.
“How are you? Did you find anything?”
“Well… There is no trace this time either.”
“Together.”
It seemed like another person was kidnapped in this house.
Maring and her fellow investigators were going in and out, looking and checking.
“Uh. Sheriff. The person next to him is.”
“I called someone to help me to use the summoning app.”
“I heard you met in a ranked match.”
“That’s right. I’m the one who succeeded in upgrading to diamond level this time.”
“Oh my god!”
A person who looks like Maring’s subordinate.
That person came right up to me.
“It’s an honor. My name is Toto!”
“Ah. Nice to meet you Mr. Toto. My name is Park Ja-geun.”
As soon as that person saw me, he was radiating a lot of blue energy.
It seemed like he was well aware of the reputation of the Diamond grade.
“The Toto investigator is someone who works under me. He is currently at Gold level.”
“I see.”
As expected, he was someone who worked under Maring.
“Seeing as you don’t even have a protective wetsuit. You must have that ability!”
“Right? “
“As expected… Diamond.”
Toto seemed very excited when he saw me breathing calmly in the water.
“Toto. Jageun is uncomfortable.”
“Ah. I’m sorry! “
When Maring drew a line, Toto seemed to come to his senses and returned to his original voice.
“I’m sorry, Toto is overly immersed and gets often excited.”
That’s right.
I have a personality that is prone to overindulgence.
He was a person with a narrow perspective and a personality that only focused on one thing.
“Would you like to go in first?”
“Yes, Jageun knows how to use magic. He might find traces that we don’t know about.”
I followed investigator Toto into the building.
Since it was a building where people lived, the seawater disappeared as soon as I entered the entrance.
And the two disarmed the suit helmets inside the building.
‘As expected, Maring is pretty.’
Inside, with the helmet removed, was a beautiful dog-like woman with purple hair.
“You’re looking at me too blatantly?”
“Haha. I guess so~”
“I’m kind of embarrassed.”
Maring felt burdened by my gaze, as if her mask had been taken off.
Of course, she felt the burden, but she smiled slightly as if she didn’t like it.
“This way!”
And in the distance, Mr. Toto, an extremely immersive investigator, was taking the lead.
“It looks like Toto looks like an ornament.”
“Contemplation? What is contemplation?”
“Uh. Should I say that he is prone to overindulgence? He looks like that on his face.”
“Really? I guess you can tell just by looking at the face if you’re at Diamond level.”
“It’s not that. Just roughly.”
I never thought you would know the word physiognomy.
It is true that this world is a highly developed world, but it seemed to have very weak feelings and instinctive senses.
No… I thought that with this level of technology, there would be no need for traditional old methods.
So I followed Toto, passed the laser tape line with the yellow warning sign, and entered the room.
It looked like an ordinary person’s living room.
“It’s been 4 days since the owner disappeared. Even though we scanned the entire room and checked all the activity areas, we couldn’t find any traces of him.”
I looked around the house while listening to Toto’s explanation.
Certainly, as Mr. Toto said, there was no such thing as the warmth of the dead.
There were just traces of someone living alone.
Mug on the table.
A kettle is visible above the range.
Next to it, I saw a sugar bar and a coffee pack.
“Because I saw coffee. I’m guessing he was attacked in the morning… But other than that, I couldn’t find any traces. There was even a digital record showing that the front door wasn’t opened. “
I woke up in the morning and was kidnapped from my house.
It was strange.
If I were the culprit, I would have just dealt with it while I was sleeping, but why…
“But if you open the window and come in, seawater will come in, and the house will be filled with water.”
“I guess so.”
This incident definitely seemed more dangerous than the Haewang Bell blowing up a building.
There is a way to deal with the Sea King Sect, but even if we know this, we cannot prevent crime.
“What do you think? What do you think is there?”
“I don’t see anything like that, huh?”
I didn’t feel anything special either, so I was just trying to ignore it, but I felt someone’s gaze.
Someone is watching me through the window.
Because I quickly glared at the window.
The red energy scattered.
There was nothing to be seen there.
It’s as if there was an instantaneous movement.
I didn’t feel any magical power at all.
It seemed like he escaped purely physically.
“What’s wrong?”
“… No. I guess it’s just my mood.”
I don’t know about anything else, but for a moment… I felt a red energy.
Investigators and sheriffs are openly saying… The criminal is coming back to the kidnapper’s house.
It seemed like he was provoking me to look for something.
‘It’s fun.’
As expected, it felt perfect to go out after a long time.
I also received various stimulations.
“You said you thought the kidnapper was a mermaid, right?”
“Uh. Right? “
“Is there any information about mermaids who came and went to this city? Can I see it?”
“It must be a lot, is it okay?”
“You have to do it to get rewarded~”
“As expected.! You are diamond grade!”
I received all the information of those who entered the underwater city through my phone.
At least tens of thousands of mermaids lived in this city.
Even now, information is being updated in real time, so the criminal could have escaped if he wanted to.
Of course, seeing as he even provoked me, it doesn’t seem like he has any intention of doing so.
It felt like I was still in the city.
“Let’s see.”
I checked the information about the mermaids one by one.
It would have been bothersome in the past, but not now.
Compared to sitting idle in the princess’s room, this repetitive and laborious work was really fun.
The mermaids kept checking like that.
“You’re all watching, right?”
“Huh? Yes, yes.”
I was flipping through numerous mermaid materials in an instant.
Maring was fast enough to make me think I wasn’t looking at the data in detail.
“First of all, this one mermaid.”
“Uh huh.?”
I selected one mermaid material and sent it to Maring.
“And this mermaid. This mermaid too.”
I found three mermaids who did that.
The first one is the anchovy mermaid.
It looks sharp, so it must have the ability to escape my gaze.
Apparently, she is active as a swimmer.
The second is the shrimp mermaid.
This guy just looked evil from the start.
When I entered an alley, I picked him because he looked like a rich boss with a big guy next to him.
And the last one.
“This guy is the most suspicious.”
Blowfish mermaid.
It was a guy whose beard was made of puffer thorns.
Looking at the contents. It said that his body was so small that it could fit into any hole.
I thought the reason I couldn’t see it from the window earlier was because this guy had gotten smaller.
“Look for the two above. I’m going to meet this puffer mermaid.”
“Oh. Right? I saw 30,000 mermaids in 30 minutes and picked them. This wasn’t a random draw, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“What!?”
“I almost said, ‘Because I chose it with great concentration. Will you cooperate?’
“…”
Maring looked at me a little puzzled.
Well, the performance I just showed was based on reading data faster than reading a comic book, so it might have seemed like I was playing a prank to an ordinary person.
“First… I found the data. I’ll go and take a look. There’s no trace anyway, so I should try the strange apple too…”
“Haha. It’s a ripe apple. Take a look.”
“Ugh.”
Maring seemed very disappointed with my appearance.
