Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 156 The Father of Modern Bathhouse
Rationally speaking, September's plan is unreliable.

First of all, Duan Mingyuan didn't think that the criminals would take out a speaker to play BGM after killing someone to let everyone know that a murder had occurred here, but Jiu Yue was right about one thing. The trip to Yuquan Bath was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and bringing Jiu Yue along was like turning on a 999-fold chance.

He also had to consider the worst-case scenario.

The biggest loss in this operation was undoubtedly that they not only did not encounter the kidnappers, but also witnessed the process of stinky mud contaminating the bathing beach in the public area.

This may cause him to have psychological trauma in public places such as bathhouses and swimming pools from now on.

After changing his clothes, Duan Mingyuan walked in first.

The mist here is much thicker than outside. You can only see blurry silhouettes at a distance of one meter. The door of the compartment is equipped with a password lock. After selecting the project, the bracelet distributed to them will display a randomly generated password. Only after entering the password can the door be opened.

The manual said that the walls and security doors of the bathhouse were made of special materials developed by the company. Even if someone shot at the people in the room with a Gatling gun, they would not be able to penetrate the bulletproof coating.

No wonder some people like to plot in places like this.

While Duan Mingyuan was still changing his clothes, he accidentally learned the identity of the "Haier Brothers".

They are officials from the diplomatic departments of North Korea and China, and this time they are accompanying Tianwaimin on a field investigation.

To put it in more understandable terms, it means traveling at public expense, with good food and drink and adequate service, so that the people outside the country will have a good impression of the DPRK.

The official term is investment promotion.

Over the years, a lot of foreign businesses were brought into the DPRK by them, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was also in its heyday in the DPRK and became an entity that various forces were trying to win over.

However, Duan Mingyuan was not familiar with the officials, so he couldn't ask them in detail why the two of them were sneaking into the family area instead of going to the big bathhouse to accompany the foreigners to experience life.

About five minutes later, September, who had finished tidying up her clothes, came into the house.

This is where fox demons are more troublesome than human girls. Playing in the water is fun for a while, but after the fun is over, the fur on their tails will stick together, which is not only unsightly, but also very uncomfortable.

Jiu Yue held a duck swimming ring and jumped into the pool excitedly like a child visiting the swimming pool for the first time. Unfortunately, the bathing area was much smaller than the swimming pool and the depth was shallow, so she couldn't move freely.

In the blink of an eye, Jiu Yue, holding the duck swimming ring with both hands, swam in front of her and asked in confusion, "Where are the fish? Aren't there fish in the bathing area to absorb our negative energy?"

"You scared them all away."

"Oh, then I won't swim."

September swam over and leaned against the pool, following suit. Before long, she felt the surge from under the water, but when she looked down, she could not see any fish.

"These are elemental creatures discovered by the exploration team of the Universal Company on the Deep Sea Star. After they were transported to this planet, people began to call them fish."

To the left of Duan Mingyuan is a holographic projection. While enjoying the fish spring bath, one can also learn some new knowledge. "This is the first fish spring bath on the planet. It has now become one of the most famous tourist attractions in the court. Every year, foreigners come here to visit."

The reason for the additional names is simple - the names chosen by the company's people are simply not something that normal people can remember. In order to facilitate diplomacy, company executives who often go on visits will choose a common and easy-to-understand pseudonym based on the local culture.

"Huh? Didn't you say that this elemental creature was discovered by the company? Why did they come here specifically to experience the fish spring bath?"

“Because only people here use them as fish.”

The exploration team that initially discovered this type of elemental creatures brought them back to the flagship for research on weapons energy, and then came to the conclusion that these elemental creatures had no research value.

There are a large number of elemental creatures in the deep sea star, but they are extremely weak individuals and are common visitors to the novice village at the level of slimes.

In today's interstellar war environment, it is difficult to send a team of slimes into the battlefield.

In addition, since these elemental creatures can only survive in water, it is not surprising that the company has determined that they have no research value. "The first person to discover the value of these elemental creatures was the third prince. During a visit, a company representative gave him a jar of elemental creatures. A maid in the palace accidentally knocked over the jar, allowing the elemental creatures to run into the royal bath, which allowed the third prince to discover the characteristics of these creatures."

The fun of the holographic projection did not explain in detail how the maid managed to put the alien creature into the prince's bathroom, so it's hard to think about this question in detail.

"In short, you only need to know that the Third Prince is also known as the father of modern fish spring baths. The first fish spring bath in the universe was funded and built by him."

This title is much more valuable than Mr. Lu San’s title of “Founder of Modern Life Energy”.

September lowered her head and scooped up a handful of warm water with both hands. The water jumped lightly in her palms for a few times and then dived back into the pool.

Elemental creatures have no fixed form, but September can feel that they are very happy.

She was as happy as if she were facing a table full of chicken.

"The theory is that they're eating right now, and they're taking the energy that's being released into the water and feeding on it."

In this regard, absorbing negative energy is not completely false marketing.

While waiting for September, Duan Mingyuan read through all the interesting stories in the holographic projection database. Combining his knowledge of deep-sea stars, he came to a terrifying guess.

The maid who “accidentally” dumped the alien creature into the Third Prince’s bath probably intended to kill him.

He felt that it was all because of September playing the BGM from Conan, which caused him to look at things in a negative and dark way.

The holographic projection portrayed these elemental creatures as harmless little creatures like slime, capable of coexisting harmoniously with humans. But if he remembered correctly, "Deep Sea Star" was rated as one of the most dangerous planets by a scientific magazine he read when he was a child. The magazine said that the entire Deep Sea Star was an ocean, and no one knew what was hidden in the depths of the ocean.

All exploration teams that attempted to explore this secret died, leaving this question an eternal mystery.

This may also be the reason why Universal Company once spent huge amounts of manpower and resources to study slime.

So he seriously suspected that the maid had read a certain issue of a scientific magazine and planned to use the elemental creatures from the most dangerous planet to murder the third prince.

Duan Mingyuan also lowered his head and scooped up a handful of warm water.

Which side is telling the truth?
Are these "slimes" really harmless?

But this time, these little elemental creatures did not rush to break free from his hand and return to the pool. Instead, they gathered together, raised their heads, and looked at him.

Then, it grew eyes and a mouth.

There is also a row of shark-like sharp teeth inside the transparent outer wall.

The process was not long, lasting only less than ten seconds, and the "Slime" was transformed into a mini shark on his palm.

The shark did not attack him, but jumped into the water and circled around his body happily. From time to time, it would rub its head against Duan Mingyuan's submerged arm affectionately, like a spoiled child.

"how did you do it?"

Seeing this, Jiu Yue's eyes lit up, and she hugged Duan Mingyuan's arm, begging like a child, "I want one too, can you make one for me?"

"I didn't make it."

Duan Mingyuan observed the mini shark spinning around in the pool, "It transformed by itself."
