Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 176 Catching a Water Spirit

Layton did not know what to say. “What’s our mission today, Mr. Macneil?”

Blake said, “We’re going to lure someone out. They’ve seen Lilly and I before, so we can’t show ourselves. You’re going to lure it out.”

“I remember you’re pretty good at swimming, aren’t you? You’ve done an underwater battle before.”

Layton nodded his head. This was all not a problem.

But…

“Has that person seen me before? He asked solemnly.

Which enemy was this? Was it a prisoner on the loose?

Mr. Macneil was clearly so concerned!

Yet Blake stopped short, before saying. “No, they haven’t seen you.”

Layton was speechless.

So what was the point of him dressing up like this!

As if he could guess what Layton was thinking, Blake rattled off some nonsense off the top of his head at once. “This outfit’s to protect you. It’ll ward off evil spirits.”

Layton thought to himself, Thanks, so so much.

The ferry puttered off onto the river, spinning around slowly on the water.

“What are we going to do now?” Layton covered his face.

Blake was comfortably reclined on the couch, his arms spread out and his legs crossed.

“See that window?” he said. “Open it, and stick your head out.”

The ferry had been designed for the river tour. The second floor was the dock, with comfortable sofas. In the cabin was a minibar, with a window made of glass that could be opened.

Layton opened the window, and stuck his head out.

Lilly took off her shoes and climbed onto the sofa, copying the way Blake was sitting with her limbs stretched out. “Then you need to stick your arms out, and play with the water.”

Layton was baffled by it.

Crossdressing, sticking his head out of a window, and now playing with the water.

Why did something feel strangely off?

Whatever. A mission was a mission, and Layton was on one.

The window was quite a distance from the water, and he had no choice but to lean out of the window to get to it.
