My lover is this organization

"Diving? You guys are going diving today?"

In the corridor outside the door, Mr. Mei Ma, who ran the B&B, happened to pass by and heard it, so he stopped and asked.

"Yes, that's right." Yuanzi nodded modestly. "Because it's a rare occasion for us to travel together. Normally everyone is very busy, so we want to have a good time. However, today we will just dive a little closer to the land, so we shouldn't encounter the situation like yesterday."

"Really?" Mima and the man nodded slightly. "I suggest you go in the morning and come back in the morning. The earlier you go, the earlier you come back. In the afternoon, the sea waves may be strong. Every season, the sea storms become very frequent. Generally, fishermen like us will not choose to go out to sea in this season."

"I see. Thank you, Mr. Mima!" Sonoko said gratefully.

Then she pulled up Qin Wuque's arm again and shook him, saying in a tender voice: "How about it, Brother Qin, let's go diving together~"

Why do you sound so much like Patrick? Let's go catch jellyfish...

Qin Wuque couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He exchanged glances with Huibara Ai, who was rubbing her eyes and climbing out of her quilt behind her, and nodded.

"Okay."

"Great!"

Sonoko jumped up from the floor with joy.

"Then it's such a happy decision!"

……

The geographical location of the diving equipment store on Shenhai Island is a bit outrageous. It is not on the seaside, but in the west part of the center of the island, and is quite far away from the seaside in all directions.

Fortunately, the diving equipment store is equipped with professional diving instructors, and the diving instructors are also very responsible. Unless you have a diving license or have rich diving experience, ordinary tourists who come to borrow equipment will accompany you diving. As for the way to the diving site, of course, the instructor drives the boat.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the money is in place.

However, it goes without saying that with Miss Sonoko around, how could the money not be in place?

Moreover, considering that she had the diving experience yesterday afternoon, Sonoko easily added the phone number of Ms. Mikiko Yamaguchi, the instructor of the diving equipment store, and booked all the equipment and gear in advance early this morning.

In front of the store, Mikiko Yamaguchi, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, couldn't help but feel happy when she saw Sonoko and others coming.

"Here we are. The equipment is ready. We can set off once we move it to the van. But aren't there only two of you? Why... Hey? Who is this?"

She saw Qin Wuque following behind Yuanzi and Xiaolan.

What also surprised Qin Wuque was that Miss Yamaguchi Mikiko was actually a very slim and capable brown-skinned beauty with short dark brown hair that reached her shoulders.

"Ah, this is Mr. Qin." Yuanzi introduced with a smile, "We are traveling together, but he went out to play with other children yesterday and didn't come diving with us. We agreed to come together today."

"Oh, I see." Mikiko didn't ask any more questions. "By the way, Mr. Qin, do you have any experience in diving?"

"Yes." Qin Wuque casually carried two oxygen cylinders onto his shoulders.

"Eh? Really?" Sonoko widened her eyes.

She had originally planned to show off her skills in front of Qin Wuque based on the little experience she had accumulated yesterday.

"Well, I used to sneak into..."

"sneak into?"

"Uh--"

Qin Wuque thought for a moment and decisively changed his statement to something less serious: "I have helped other laboratories check the security performance of drainage pipes a few times before. After all, some criminals would choose to enter through drainage pipes with relatively low security in order to steal finished products from the laboratory."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Sonoko nodded, not quite understanding, with an expression on her face that showed she had learned something.

However, at this moment, a malicious threat sounded from behind everyone.

"Don't move! Just get all the oxygen cylinders into the car!"

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

Let's put it this way, Xiaolan's combat power fluctuates basically between Oma Zi-O and Sonoko.

Chapter 239: The Host

In less than a zavarudo's time, the two treasure hunters who had been extremely arrogant were thrown against the wall outside the diving equipment store with bruised faces and noses, emitting miserable howls.

Qin Wuque squatted in front of the two men, playing with a dagger he had seized from one of the treasure hunters. The cold light flashed up and down, making the smile on his face look particularly sinister.

"You are so brave that you dare to threaten me? Huh?"

The tip of the knife rubbed back and forth on the treasure hunter's rough face, making a heart-pounding hissing sound. Qin Wuque controlled the force very well, just enough to make people feel a little pain without piercing the skin.

He himself knew it, but for the tortured party, it was tantamount to mental torture.

I am the fish in the clutches of others. Who knows if this guy's hand will shake suddenly, then I will easily make a big cut.

Especially for treasure hunters like them who dive in the sea all year round, having a cut on the body is a very dangerous thing.

After all, a considerable number of fish in the sea like to eat meat, especially the meat of wounded prey.

However, they had no way...

"I want to know who gave you the courage, Fish Leong?" Qin Wuque smiled sinisterly like a junior high school teacher and nodded, "Good! Very good! Very good! Very spirited!"

He stopped playing with the knife and held the dagger upside down in his hand.

"You tried to threaten us just now, but now the situation has changed. I will ask the questions and you will answer them. If you dare to talk nonsense, I will chop off one of your fingers. Do you understand?"

The two treasure hunters immediately shut their mouths tightly.

"If you delay time and pretend to be dead, I'll chop you into two pieces." Qin Wuque added.

"You...you ask." One of the treasure hunters said weakly.

Well, that makes you behave yourself.

The rest of the interrogation was basically the same three big questions in life - who are you, where are you from, and where are you going.

It turns out that these two people are not only treasure hunters, but also internationally wanted fugitives. One is called Matsumoto Mitsuji and the other is Izu Santaro. They came to Shenhai Island to look for the treasure of Amberney and Mary Read, but they didn't know the specific contents of the treasure. They only knew that it was hidden in a huge palace under the sea near Shenhai Island.

What they didn't expect was that they were attacked by sharks during the initial exploration, for which one of their companions was sacrificed, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was attracted.

Later they learned that the sharks were attracted because someone had secretly placed bags of fish blood in their diving suits. After diving to a certain depth, the bags burst under the pressure of the water, and the fish blood inside flowed out. The smell of blood attracted sharks, but considering that they were wanted criminals on the run, they did not dare to call the police or make too much noise.

And in just less than two days, they have explored the underwater palace many times, with different progress each time, but they have not been able to successfully find the treasure.

"Huh? What is this?"

Yuanzi, who was rummaging through the backpacks of the two treasure hunters, suddenly exclaimed.

Qin Wuque, Xiaolan and diving coach Mikiko Yamaguchi immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw Miss Suzuki accurately taking out a very retro flintlock rifle and a pirate scimitar full of historical traces from her backpack.

"This thing looks familiar to me..." Qin Wuque said, touching his chin.

"Isn't this it?!" Xiaolan stared in surprise.

"Ann and Mary's pistol and machete!" Mikiko Yamaguchi recognized it at a glance.

"But I remember that they should be kept in the museum on the island?" Sonoko asked puzzledly.

"Maybe they stole it." Qin Wuque glanced at the two treasure hunters who were sitting against the wall, almost beaten to the point where their mothers didn't recognize them, but still looked unwilling. "But I can't understand why they stole these two things..."

"Maybe because they are very valuable?" Sonoko speculated.

"It's worth... just so-so. If you want to say it's worth collecting, it might be a little higher." Qin Wuque was a little annoyed. "Like I said before, the two female pirates, Ann and Mary, became famous at the time because they were female pirates. They broke the general perception of women at the time. It's like when we suddenly found a female player in a random game of Rainbow Six. Regardless of whether she played well or not, there must be a sense of surprise."

"Well, I think I understand." Sonoko pinched her chin with a serious look.

"Oh?"

"They must have been scared by the shark yesterday, so they were forced to give up Ann and Mary's treasure and instead set their sights on the pistols and machetes kept in the museum on the island." Sonoko said with certainty.

"A thief never leaves empty-handed, right?" Qin Wuque was speechless.

How to say it, this silly girl's analysis seems to be well-reasoned, but a little thought will reveal that it doesn't make sense at all.

He pointed to the oxygen cylinders scattered on the ground not far away: "But they also prepared oxygen cylinders today."

"This may be because..." Sonoko was speechless for a moment.

"You don't think they are planning to swim back to Tokyo from here, do you?" Qin Wuque said with empty eyes.

"Woo!"

Yuanzi's face froze, and it was obvious that she really thought so.

"If they really did that, they would be feeding sharks." Qin Wuque complained, "I guess the reason why they sneaked into the museum to steal these two things last night and rushed to get into the water early this morning is that they must have found some mechanism in the huge underwater palace that can only be solved with a pistol and a machete."

"Is it the same?" He threw his extremely lethal weapon at the two treasure hunters.

"Yes Yes."

The two nodded quickly.

"And I see you don't have a lot of oxygen tanks with you. At best you can only be underwater for about an hour." Qin Wuque analyzed rationally, "So I guess there shouldn't be water in the underwater palace, and there's plenty of oxygen inside. After all, it takes nearly 40 minutes to go up and down. If you get lost in half an hour exploring the underwater palace, you won't be able to get out."

"Mr. Qin..." Xiaolan opened her mouth. She listened to the analysis and seemed to suddenly realize something.

"Now that we have the information about the underwater palace, as well as the pistol and the scimitar, everything is ready except for the east wind. So..."

Qin Wuque put his hands under his chin, made a big V sign, and his eyes glowed faintly.

"Gentlemen, I have a bold idea!"

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

Xiaolan's fighting ability ranges from being able to kick a dagger to being easily kidnapped and taken hostage. Whether she will be defeated or not depends on whether the screenwriter needs her to push the plot forward...

I'll go eat, and then continue writing the second update.

Chapter 240 What does it mean to value love over friendship?

"What? You're going to look for Ann and Mary's treasure?!"

Xiaolan was really shocked by Qin Wuque's "bold idea".

"But Mr. Qin, didn't you say you were not interested in the so-called treasure at all?"

"I admit that I did say that..." Qin Wuque scratched his face, "But when I say I'm not interested, I mean from the perspective of treasure. Just like no one would go to Paris for a trip and not check in at Notre Dame de Paris, most people would choose to take a look, but no one would go there with the intention of seeing if they can carry Notre Dame de Paris home. You should understand what I mean, right?"

"But..." Xiaolan was very embarrassed.

"Let's go!" Yuanzi chimed in cheerfully, "Besides, the main slogan of Shenhai Island is that there are treasures on the seabed. We have finally come here and rented diving equipment. It would be a shame if we don't go and see for ourselves!"

"Yuanzi..." Seeing that her best friend was also so moved, Xiaolan couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Have you forgotten what Mr. Mei Ma said before you came here? There will be a storm on the sea this afternoon. What if I get trapped in the underwater palace? And I don't know if there is really enough oxygen in the underwater palace. What if I really get stuck in there and can't get out..."

She didn't continue talking here because there was no need to say more. Even if she didn't finish, Yuanzi and Qin Wuque would understand.

"That's right." Qin Wuque nodded slightly.

"Right." Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, "So we'll just spend some time at the beach this morning..."

"It's okay, you guys just play at the beach, I'll go by myself." The old boss of Los Santos suddenly looked up, his eyes shining.

"Eh!?" Sonoko expressed her dissatisfaction loudly.

"Yuanzi!" Xiaolan emphasized her tone.

"Oh, I know, I know~" Sonoko couldn't resist and had to wave her hand and admit defeat, "Then I'll go with you, Ran, and the two of us can just swim around the island."

She turned her head and looked at Qin Wuque eagerly: "So, Brother Qin, are you really going?"

"Go ahead." Qin Wuque shrugged nonchalantly, "I will be fine on my own. If I can get in, I can get out. You don't have to worry about me."

"Well……"

Yuanzi lowered his head, his big eyes were dark, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Then the question is what should we do with these two people?" Mikiko Yamaguchi glanced at Matsumoto Mitsuji and Izu Santaro, who were almost beaten into pig heads, and spoke in a very unfriendly tone.

"Their words..."

Qin Wuque was just about to say, "Just leave them to me," but Xiaolan's voice rang out first, interrupting him.

"Don't worry, I have already called the police and told the police on the island what happened here. They should be here soon."

"Hey, the police are coming soon. We have to hurry up." Qin Wuque said as he took the pistol and machete from Yuanzi. "If the police find these two items and take them away, I might not be able to get in."

"Huh?" Mikiko Yamaguchi was stunned when she saw this.
