my pokemon player.

When Li Xiang saw Karina riding away on her toucan without even saying hello, he immediately had a bad feeling.

He lowered his head and glanced at the battlefield, muttering thoughtfully:

"As expected by the expert team, with my current performance, Karina will sooner or later suspect me."

Before entering the game, Li Xiang had already learned through information that the NPCs in the game were no different from humans in the real world, and what he saw and heard in the game also confirmed this.

Even the seemingly insignificant peripheral members of the church have their own little thoughts, which shows how intelligent the game NPCs are.

Therefore, he never looked down upon the NPCs in the game, and the experts treated these NPCs as real thinking humans.

It turns out that their emphasis was right, even though the NPCs in the game were relatively simple and not good at using strategies.

But they were just limited by the background of the times, or were influenced by Pokémon, and their brains were no dumber than modern people.

Therefore, experts are certain that Karina will sooner or later notice that something is wrong with Li Xiang. After all, there are indeed many suspicious points about him.

Even if he had to survive alone on a deserted island and not eat monster meat, he could always find a suitable excuse to explain it.

But Li Xiang's performance in the trial was too outstanding, which was bound to attract the attention of those who were interested.

Just like what Molde said, how could a civilian who had lost his memory and had never come into contact with Warcraft easily defeat so many men in black robes? No matter how talented one is, there must be a limit.

Li Xiang also knew that his behavior was not very reasonable, but he had no other choice.

According to the expert group's analysis, if he did not participate in the Blood Hell Trial, he might have died faster.

After all, he is just a substitute for Karina's white moonlight. If he wants to survive, he must work hard to maintain his own personality.

The reason why he became Karina's white moonlight was because he saved Karina in the Blood Prison Trial. If Li Xiang did not participate in the trial, his character would more or less collapse.

Everything he has now is built on Karina's love and care for his family. The collapse of his personality is undoubtedly fatal.

If he makes Kalina feel disgusted, he will have no chance of completing the challenge and it would be a good thing if he doesn't get sunk into the sea by Kalina.

And fake is fake after all. No matter how outstanding the substitute is, it cannot replace the position of Bai Yueguang.

If Li Xiang did not participate in the Blood Prison Trial, the best outcome would be Kalina's bird in a cage, with no chance of climbing up at all, and the evaluation of the challenge mission would definitely not be high.

Li Xiang would not pin his hopes of completing the mission on Karina. He still wanted to follow the experts' advice and use Karina as a springboard to pass the Blood Prison Trial alive and become an elite member that the Shadow Church would focus on training.

Therefore, he must participate in this Blood Prison Trial, even at the risk of being suspected by Kalina.

However, according to Dr. Hu's analysis, Karina should not have doubted him during the trial, which is also an important reason why he did not hide his strength.

What went wrong? Was someone plotting against me? Could it be Molde again?

Li Xiang vaguely guessed the truth. The only people on this island who could speak ill of him in front of Karina were Cliff and Mold.

But Cliff's brain isn't working, so that leaves only Molde.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang smacked his lips unhappily.

Didn't he just take away Molde's scabbard and subdue Zoroark right under his nose? Apart from that, he didn't offend Molde at all. Why did he have to catch him and plot against him?

"Forget it. Anyway, plans cannot keep up with changes. From the moment I subdued the Solitary Sword Sheath and met Zoroark, it was impossible for me to pass the trial safely."

"It seems that my decision to overturn the table was correct. If this trial continues, there might be more trouble. It's better to just destroy it!"

"As for the problem of Karina suspecting me, it is also easy to solve. All we need to do is wait for Lord Ryan to send someone to create a dangerous situation."

"The more Karina doubts me now, the more guilty she will feel, and her favorability will increase rapidly."

"Thinking about it, I think I should say thank you to Molde. Listen to me saying thank you~ because of you"

Li Xiang was cleaning the battlefield while humming a little tune, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Yo-chi!"

Suddenly, Du Jianshe drew his sword and pointed it at a tree.

Seeing this, Li Xiang looked in the direction the sword was pointing, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

I saw a dark crow standing on a branch of the tree, looking Li Xiang up and down.

"Are you... the dark crow from last night?" Li Xiang asked tentatively.

"Yeah!"

Murkrow nodded, then turned his head to look at the corpse of the black-robed man on the ground, his scarlet eyes full of satisfaction.

It was obvious that it only had complex emotions towards its master, and it hated other people in black robes.

Li Xiang also noticed the look in Murk Crow's eyes. He could probably guess why Murk Crow rejected him last night, and the idea of ​​taming this Murk Crow once again emerged in his mind.

However, he did not invite Murkrow right away, but continued to ask:

"You didn't fly very far last night, did you? You were following us the whole time?"

Murkrow was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Li Xiang was delighted and asked, "Are you worried that we might run into other black-robed people? Was that sudden chirping sound a warning from you?"

Dark Crow met Li Xiang's expectant gaze, stepped on the branches awkwardly with its two claws, and finally nodded awkwardly.

"Thank you very much for your reminder!" Li Xiang first thanked Murkrow sincerely, and then asked: "Do you want to follow me and become my partner?"

Dark Crow hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and once again rejected Li Xiang's invitation to join the team.

But Li Xiang was not disappointed or discouraged. He became more resolute in his guess and said to Dark Crow in a gentle voice:
"I know what your concerns are. You just think that I will join the Shadow Church and become one of those black-robed people who do evil and destroy lives. That's why you reject me, right?"

Murkrow showed a surprised expression on his face. How did this human know his inner thoughts? Could he read minds?

"I can't read minds. Your thoughts are written on your face and in your eyes." Li Xiang explained with a smile.

What? Is there something written on my face?

Murkrow subconsciously focused his eyes, trying to see if there were any words on his face.

But it quickly realized that Li Xiang was just saying that its thoughts were easy to guess.

Li Xiang almost couldn't help laughing when he saw Dark Crow quickly restore his eyes to their original position and pretend nothing had happened.

This dark crow may seem a bit aloof, but it is actually quite simple, even a little silly.

Dark Crow could also see that Li Xiang was trying to hold back his laughter, and awkwardly tried to flap his wings and fly away. Li Xiang immediately shouted, "Wait! If I didn't really join the Shadow Church, would you be willing to be my partner?"

Hearing this, Murkrow retracted his wings and tilted his head to look at Li Xiang: "Huh?"

"Of course it's true, but the specific reasons are complicated to explain, and you may not believe it, so you might as well continue to follow us. It won't be long before you understand."

Looking at the sincere expression on Li Xiang's face, Dark Crow became conflicted.

In fact, it had a very good impression of Li Xiang. This human not only rescued the monster that kept changing shapes, but also treated his own monster very well.

Moreover, the human in front of him has a high level of command and a very smart and flexible brain. As a Dark Crow who naturally likes to follow an excellent boss, it would be a lie to say that it is unwilling to follow Li Xiang.

But Dark Crow didn't want to go back to the Shadow Church. It had been traumatized by the church. After Li Xiang passed the Blood Prison Trial, he would definitely join the Shadow Church. That was why he rejected Li Xiang last night.

As a result, Li Xiang now said that he did not really join the Shadow Church, which made Dark Crow's heart waver again.

How about agreeing to this human first?
I just followed him to take a look, and I didn't agree to be conquered by this human.

If this person is lying, it's not too late to leave.

So after thinking for a while, Dark Crow agreed to Li Xiang's proposal and decided to follow Li Xiang first.

Li Xiang was naturally very happy and looked forward to the arrival of reinforcements even more.

"I just don't know who the reinforcements will be. I hope it's Lord Ryan. After all, I also want to see the protagonist of the game with my own eyes and improve my impression of him!"
-
Time passed slowly as Li Xiang waited anxiously. He had never felt that the day would be so long.

Until the sun gradually set in the west, he still hadn't received any reinforcements, which made him inevitably feel a little anxious.

Fortunately, he did not continue to be unlucky today. After dealing with the three men in black robes, he never encountered any other trial-takers. This was the only good news.

At this time, Li Xiang was lying on a slope, her eyes wandering in the air, like a peculiarly shaped stone waiting for her husband.

He held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and mumbled incoherently:

"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? Could it be that the worst-case scenario assumed by the experts has come true? Lord Ryan doesn't know the exact location of Blood Prison Island?"

"No, it's impossible. The probability of this result is extremely low. There must be a connection between Lord Ryan and the challenge mission. It would be strange if he didn't know where Blood Prison Island is!"

"Wait a little longer. It will take a long time to travel. Who knows how far this island is from Guanhai City?"

Li Xiang kept comforting himself, and then remembered Karina's abnormal behavior.

"After the battle this morning, Karina hasn't patrolled this area. Is she deliberately avoiding me?"

"Oh, women, you really change your attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. My position as a stand-in is no longer secure. When the reinforcements arrive, I must put on a good show and not let my acting teacher down."

"So, when will the reinforcements arrive?"

"boom!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a roar was heard.

Li Xiang sat up suddenly, looked in the direction of the sound, and said with surprise:
"This explosion sounded from the shore where the ship was docked. There must be something going on there!"

"No matter how big the internal conflicts of the Shadow Church are, it is unlikely that they will kill each other. This means that they are most likely encountering an external enemy. The reinforcements from Guanhai City have finally arrived!"

After saying that, he stood up swiftly and excitedly ran towards the shore with his two Pokémon.

Although Dark Crow, who was following behind him, didn't know why Li Xiang became so excited, he still chose to follow him.

At the same time, Kalina and Molde, who were patrolling other areas of the island, also heard the roar.

Originally, Molde was still making trouble for Karina, asking her why she no longer cared about her little lover.

Karina was worried that she couldn't find anyone to vent her anger to, so she took out the whip without saying a word, ready to release her anger and resentment.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Molde was about to turn around and run away, but his attention was attracted by the roar coming from the shore.

He hurriedly said to Karina: "Master Priest, did you hear this roar?"

Karina responded angrily: "Nonsense, I'm not deaf!"

"This roar came from the shore. Could there be something wrong with our ship?"

Molde calmly changed the subject, trying to avoid Karina's whipping.

Of course, he was also curious about the source of the sound.

Karina frowned slightly when she heard this. Since this was related to the Blood Prison Trial, she, as the person in charge, must find out the source of the sound.

So Karina put away the whip and said seriously, "Let's go back and take a look."

"As ordered!"

When Mold saw Karina put the whip back, he breathed a sigh of relief.

What? Why did he say those things when he knew he would be beaten for annoying Karina?

You don't understand this. As long as he can make things difficult for Karina, he will feel a sense of revenge and would rather be beaten by Karina.

You know, he only suffered some minor injuries, but Karina lost her love!

Molde followed Karina triumphantly, and just as they were about to fly back to the shore, a dishevelled figure riding a toucan flew towards them.

"Is this man Cliff? He dares to come to Karina to report intelligence. Isn't he seeking death?"

After confirming the identity of the visitor, Mold immediately observed Karina's reaction with his peripheral vision.

As a result, Karina did not show any anger, but instead looked at Cliff with a serious expression.

With her understanding of Cliff, she could naturally tell that Cliff didn't seem to be looking for them to report the situation, but rather seemed to be running for his life!

Sure enough, when Cliff saw them he immediately shouted:
"Lady Karina, please run away!"

Mord said dissatisfiedly: "Did I hear it right? Cliff is asking us to escape?"

"What a joke! It's always been the case that others run away after seeing our Shadow Church. When have we ever had to avoid others?"

"I want to see who has the guts to attack our Shadow Church. I have to kill them. Huh?"

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly paused, his pupils suddenly contracted, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Then, a voice full of fear and despair shouted out from his mouth:
"Dragonite? Where did Dragonite come from?!" (End of this chapter)
