I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

"Hold on... Oyster Dees!"

Feeling that the capacity of the Children's Palace was approaching its limit, Sera Masumi couldn't help but well up in tears.

But the next second, she was picked up from her sitting position by Serabel. The downforce caused by inertia due to the rapid increase in altitude made Sera Masumi panic in an instant.

"Wait, wait a minute, I really can't..."

"Don't move, I'm just moving the stone pier forward, otherwise it will be difficult to help you wash your hair."

Serabel's simple words interrupted the girl's nonsense.

At the same time, Sera Masumi was also stunned.

Oh, so you want to wash your hair. I thought you wanted to change the angle and then... hmmm.

"Besides, there's no need to force this kind of thing. What are you thinking about?"

"..."

Being taught a lesson again, the tiger-toothed girl hummed something incomprehensible.

A few seconds later, Serabelle sat down again, squeezed some shampoo on her palm, and began to rub bubbles on the tiger-toothed girl's head with the warm rain water pouring out of the shower.

Xiaolan, who was in the bathtub nearby, also took the opportunity to talk about other things.

"This is already our fourth day in Singapore, right? When are we going back?"

"Go back... I don't know."

Masumi Sera plays a character with an empty brain.

She originally intended to come with Akai Mari and Serabell, and they would go back whenever they said they would.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will be either the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Serabel said after thinking for a moment.

"The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow..."

Xiaolan thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Masumi Sera was caught off guard by her best friend's sigh.

"Why are you sighing suddenly, Lan? Don't you want to go back for the time being? There's no need to worry too much. There's still tomorrow anyway. You can go anywhere you want in Singapore."

"Well, it's not because of this reason..."

Xiaolan seemed to be referring to something else.

Now Sera Masamune understood.

"Lan, you mean... Auntie?"

Since she and Xiaolan had been honest with each other, their understanding of each other had deepened, and she also knew some of the situation in Xiaolan's family.

"Um……"

Xiaolan smiled helplessly.

"After all, I can't tell my mother about this kind of thing. I can't be like your mother, Masumi-san."

“That’s right…”

Whenever she thought about the situation at her home, Masumi Sera felt helpless and fortunate.

This was a topic that would not produce any result. After a brief silence, Xiaolan finally shook her head.

"Forget it, let's just wait and see."

Truth will come to light sooner or later. Everything will eventually be revealed.

At the same time, for some unknown reason, an alarm was sounded at the port outside the hotel.

Chapter 779 Mary: Young people are quite extravagant

As the dazzling red lights illuminated the waters of Singapore's Marina Bay, the sudden alarm sounded through the quiet night sky almost at the same time.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"I'm not sure, it seems to be on the sea..."

Inside the room, when Serabelle and the other two heard the alarm and rushed out of the bathroom, they saw a shocking scene outside the bedroom window.

"T-That's...a tanker?"

The moment Xiaolan saw clearly, she covered her mouth and widened her eyes.

Even Sera Masumi was dumbfounded.

"Hey, is this true?"

The tiger-toothed girl murmured subconsciously.

It was an absolutely unbelievable scene.

Just in the twilight, on the surface of the Marina Bay facing the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, a 10,000-ton oil tanker, so huge that it could almost block the entire bay when it was crossed, was rushing towards the land, with the huge words "Zhongfu" written on its body.

Although it looked like it was moving slowly due to the long distance, it was easy to imagine that even if a tanker of this tonnage was moving slowly, the damage it would cause if it rubbed against something would be incalculable.

Especially since the Marina Bay Sands Hotel is built by the sea, the straight-line distance between the hotel and the sea is no more than 400 meters. In order to avoid unnecessary huge losses caused by unexpected emergencies such as huge waves and cruise ship out of control, an arc-shaped defense line was specially built on the sea surface of Marina Bay, guarding the Marina Bay Sands Hotel behind like a embankment.

But now the tanker has broken through this first line of defense and crashed into a huge gap in the continuous curved embankment. Broken blocks of cement fell from the air, splashing huge waves on the sea.

And the tanker continued to move in the designated direction.

At this speed, it will hit the land in a few minutes, and then it will not be as simple as rebuilding the embankment.

"That tanker may have been hijacked."

Serabelle let out a soft sigh, recalling what Akai Mari had said in the hotel restaurant that morning.

I didn't expect it to come true.

"Hijack? Why?"

The two girls didn't react at once, but Serabelle had already picked up the clothes from the ground and threw them to them, while putting her own clothes on.

"It's very simple. If it was just an ordinary cruise ship out of control, the people on board should have contacted the Singapore police in advance to airlift personnel for repairs and support."

As she spoke, Serabelle had already put on all her clothes and picked up her cell phone to make calls one by one.

"But the alarm did not sound until just now, and there was no Singapore police helicopter hovering in the sky, so it can be understood that the tanker hit the protection belt outside Marina Bay without any warning."

"There are only two possible reasons for this situation. Either all the original crew members on the ship have died, or they have all been controlled. But either way means that an accident must have happened on the ship... Hello? Sister Mary?"

As soon as the call was connected, Serabelle immediately put the phone to her ear.

The calm voice of the British wife came from the other end of the phone.

"it's me."

"Something happened at sea in Marina Bay..."

"I saw."

Before Serabel could finish, Akai Mari continued calmly.

"It seems that what I said this morning has come true. Although I don't know the specific details yet, I will prepare for battle first. And where are you now?"

"I--"

When it comes to this topic, Serabelle hesitated slightly.

He glanced at the two girls next to him who had just put on their clothes and were buttoning them, and coughed lightly with a little embarrassment.

"I'm in Xiaolan's room now."

"..."

In line with the boy's hesitation, Akai Mary on the phone also fell silent after hearing this.

Then he asked again.

"Where's Majun?"

“…It’s also here with me.”

The simple reply caused the British wife on the phone to fall silent again.

Fortunately, Akai Mary also understood that now was not the time to worry about these things, and she sighed softly.

"Got it. Call everyone first and gather them at the door of your room later."

"Ah."

Just after hanging up the phone, the curious voice of a girl with tiger teeth was heard from the back.

"Brother, are you calling mom? What did she say?"

"She told me to call everyone and gather in my room. Although I don't know what will happen next, it's always a good idea to be prepared in advance... Lan? What are you doing?"

As Serabelle finished her words, she saw Xiaolan, who had already put on her clothes, picking up her cell phone and looking at the address book on the screen with a conflicted look on her face.

Hearing the boy's voice, Xiaolan took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

"Wait a minute, I need to call my dad too."

After saying this, she didn't even shy away from the presence of Serabelle and Sera Masumi, and directly dialed the number that she hadn't called in nearly half a year.

beep - beep -

After waiting for the speaker to beep twice, the phone heard the sound of the call being connected.

Such a short waiting time made Xiaolan feel somewhat relieved, but the voice coming from the receiver the next second made her frown again.

"Hello~ Lan, why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

It was indeed the voice of Kogoro Mouri, but it sounded like he was speaking with a thick tongue, and one could almost smell the strong smell of alcohol through the phone.

"Dad... Dad, where are you now? Something big happened outside, did you know?"

There was no time to worry about these details at the critical moment, Xiaolan said helplessly.

"Where am I? I don't know either."

Kogoro Mori was able to completely ignore the anxiety in his daughter's words and was obviously drunk.

"Ah, but the scenery here is great. I can even see a huge ship on the sea...hiccups~"

As he said this he burped loudly.

My blood pressure suddenly rose.

Xiaolan hung up the phone while taking deep breaths continuously. She calmed down after trying hard to calm herself down.

"Then Sera-kun and Masumi-san, you go find the others first. I'm going to go to the sky garden on the rooftop. Dad should be there. I'll go find him."

"Go up now?!"

Masumi Sera was shocked by her bold idea.

"Um……"

Xiaolan bit her lip and smiled helplessly.

"Although now I think that my father was a bit too much in many things in the past, he is still my father after all. He worked hard to care for me and loved me when I was young, so I really can't just leave him alone."

"But I still advise you not to go up now."

Serabelle said suddenly.

"Not to mention that the entire hotel is in chaos now that the alarm has sounded and everyone is trying to escape. We have no chance of taking the elevator on this floor, and even if we did, we might not be able to get down. You have to know that the people upstairs, including those on the rooftop sky garden, are probably trying their best to run down, so the elevator is impossible to use."

"Secondly, even if the pirates really invaded Singapore, they would not be able to blow up the Marina Bay Sands directly. Especially considering their route, if the Marina Bay Sands collapsed, they would die themselves. So it is safer to stay on the top floor than to go downstairs."

"That's what I said..."

Xiaolan was still a little hesitant.

"Don't think about it, just follow me first."

Seeing this, Serabelle simply grabbed one girl each and dragged the two girls straight towards the door.

When they came to the corridor outside the door, they looked left and saw no one. But when they looked right, they saw a small figure running towards them not far away.

"Sister Lan, are you okay...eh?"

It's Conan.
