Chapter 94 091 [See You Again]

Although he had received the news, Qiao Ran did not go to see Mei and the others directly. Instead, he brought Liliae, who was sleeping in the room next to him.

This girl who had experienced countless tragedies did not have the habit of staying in bed - when Qiao Ran went to call her, she was already sitting at the desk in the room, reading a book in her hand seriously.

"Qiao Ran?"

In the sunlight in front of the window, Lillie's hand gently lifted the golden hair at the back of her head. Her hair was slightly wet and had a pleasant fragrance, and she looked like she had just taken a shower.

"Well, the person we are looking for has returned. If you are free, come with me."

Qiao Ran took a look at the white dress she was wearing. She was indeed very suitable for white clothes. The cleaner the white, the more it could highlight her delicacy and purity.

"is back?"

Lillie blinked in surprise, then closed the book in her hand and placed it under her pillow.

She stood behind Qiao Ran lightly and nimbly like a little rabbit.

"Let's go together."

"Ah."

Qiao Ran nodded, but his eyes were always on Liliae's pillow.

——Although Lillie hid the book very well, Qiao Ran knew that the book was actually from the Pokémon world.

"You're still reading that book."

"...I've read quite a bit, I'm sure I can help everyone."

Lillie raised her head and smiled softly. Although she still looked a little lacking in confidence, she still added softly at the end.

"It will definitely be useful..."

Lillie is not good at Pokémon battles and is even afraid of coming into contact with Pokémon under normal circumstances. She also knows that she may not have the talent to become a trainer, so in order to make herself helpful, she has been studying the knowledge of the Aether Foundation, or rather - the research notebooks left by her mother Lusamine and her father Dr. Moon.

In the Pokémon world, the Aether Foundation is the most knowledgeable research institution on otherworldly worlds and Ultra Beasts, having achieved remarkable results. The researchers leading this organization are Lillie's biological parents. With Lusamine and Moon no longer around, Lillie has inherited their legacy.

"So I'm going to have to call you Professor Lillie from now on?"

"Eh...? Eh? No...that's not it."

Hearing Qiao Ran's teasing, Liliae lowered her head shyly and began to fiddle with her fingers.

"Um...wait for me a moment, I'll take care of my hair."

Lillie decided to tie her hair up first. It would be too rude to go out and meet people like that. Despite her current downfall, she still had a sense of being a young lady.

"Let me help you, it will be faster."

Qiao Ran took the initiative to offer to help. Lillie was stunned for a moment but did not refuse. However, when she found out that Qiao Ran was actually good at this kind of thing, she was really surprised.

The technique and movements didn't look like the first time for someone to do this. At the beginning, Lillie even planned to personally guide Qiao Ran.

"You...seem quite skilled?"

Seeing Qiao Ran quickly tying her ponytail in the mirror, Liliae couldn't help but make a sound.

"Yeah, I used to do my sister's hair a lot, so practice makes perfect."

Qiao Ran's mouth twitched, and he quickly came up with an excuse. Otherwise, why would a grown man like him need to learn this kind of thing?

——It was because Liuwei and the others didn’t know how to do it, so Qiao Ran had to learn it himself and then teach it to them.

However, in the eyes of others, he does have two younger sisters. Although in the setting that Qiao Ran told others, both sisters have returned to their hometown, these two sisters do exist.

"You actually have a younger sister..."

Lillie sighed, not doubting at all that Qiao Ran might be lying. After all, she also had a brother. When she heard that Qiao Ran also had a sister, she couldn't help but feel a little touched in her heart.

"Almost done, let's go together."

After packing everything up, Qiao Ran clapped his hands and opened the door first. Lilia followed behind him and nodded slightly.

Looking at the man walking in front of her, Lillie felt as if she understood him a little better.

Besides being powerful and mysterious, he is also a very gentle and kind person...————————————————————————

----------

"Eve, please wait outside for a moment. Mr. Qiao Ran and I have something to discuss."

When they arrived at the conference room, Eve, who came with Qiao Ran and the others, was stopped outside the door. It was her sister, Dr. Lilia, who stopped her.

This female doctor, whose name is only one letter different from Lillie's, is already a famous Pokémon ruins excavator in China. She has not yet talked about marriage, but has devoted all her youth to this cause.

"Why can't I go in... Humph... Obviously that guy can go in."

Eve was in a bad mood. She was already unhappy when she saw Qiao Ran enter Lillie's room, and now she was blocked outside the door.

Although she was not convinced, Eve had to admit that Lillie was indeed more elegant than her, and more like a so-called young lady. Even her blonde hair was brighter than hers.

——It’s simply an all-round upgraded version of her.

"Eve, stop making trouble. We really have something important to discuss this time. Just wait outside."

Dr. Lilia frowned, but finally persuaded Eve to leave. It was not that she did not want to accommodate her sister, but this matter was really too special.

After dealing with the situation outside, Dr. Lilia took the initiative to close the door.

Lillie and Qiao Ran both sat down in the room, and Mei also appeared in the room. However, she seemed to be fiddling with something on the table, and she was constantly recording some data in her hands.

"Qiao Ran, you're finally here... Whew, you've kept me waiting for so long."

Mei turned around with a pout and looked in the direction of Qiao Ran.

"Have you seen this? We unearthed this this time."

She showed Qiao Ran the thing on the table. It turned out to be a small cannon barrel that looked a bit worn out. The original purple paint had become a bit old, but the pitch-black barrel still shone with a deep light as if showing off its powerful firepower.

"this is……"

Qiao Ran's eyes flashed, and the moment he saw the turret, he actually thought of something.

However, what he was thinking about wasn't the weapon itself, but the Pokémon that had been equipped with it...

—Genesect? ? The World-Destroying Bug? ? ? ?

How could something like this appear here???

Before it was Ultra Beast, now it’s Genesect—you archaeologists, can’t you unearth some normal fossil Pokémon? ! ! !

Chapter 95092【Recommended】

Qiao Ran was convinced. Qiao Ran was really convinced.

The archaeology in this world seemed to be heading in a strange direction, and it was completely different from the Pokémon archaeology he had imagined.

In general Pokémon archaeology, creatures excavated are supposed to be Ammonite, Scythehelm, Pterosaur, and Archaic Armor. However, in this world, they become Ultra Beasts and Genesect... Anyway, whatever is dangerous is excavated, and whatever danger there is will come.

Qiao Ran even felt that this was not archaeology, but mine digging.

Basically, if any one of these things is resurrected, there will probably be endless troubles.

Genesect - This is a group of Pokémon that lived 300 million years ago. They generally lived in groups and hunted in groups. In the era when they lived, basically no creature could be their opponent.

Even the dominant Pterosaurs couldn't compare to them. Just think about it—a group of social Pokémon with a Race Value of 600, soaring and whimpering after their prey—that Race Value could be converted into a herd of Diancie or Jirachi. In that prehistoric era, what lifeform could possibly defeat such a group of hunters?

"Qiao Ran? Have you thought of anything?"

Mei looked at Qiao Ran with some curiosity, but Qiao Ran shook his head and signaled her to talk later.

Dr. Lilia came over and clapped to everyone.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lilia. I'm an ordinary doctor of archaeology. Our current research direction is Pokémon ruins..."

Dr. Lilia asked everyone to introduce themselves, especially the newcomer Lilia, who was actually the protagonist of this event.

"Hello everyone... My name is Liliae. I'm from another world. Qiao Ran saved me... I'm going to travel with him now."

"Are you from the Pokémon world too?"

After listening to everyone's self-introductions, Mei looked at the girl in front of her curiously. Although she looked weak on the outside, Mei could sense a hint of toughness from her.

"Well, I'm from Alola, and that place is already..."

Lillie's expression darkened slightly, and after she finished speaking, she followed Qiao Ran's instructions and told him most of the information she knew.

Qiao Ran naturally had his own reasons for letting her share these stories. He had long ago harboured the desire to warn archaeologists around the world against studying Ultra Beasts. However, relying solely on his own words wouldn't be enough – no one would believe a boy's empty words. However, adding Lilia's words as an eyewitness would likely lend a lot of credibility.

"You're saying... a white, jellyfish-like creature destroyed your artificial island, and other islands in your area were also destroyed by many strange-looking Pokémon?"

As expected, after listening to Liliae's story, Dr. Lilia's expression gradually became serious, even a little dark.

As a veteran archaeologist, it was impossible for her not to have unwarranted associations with the story Lillie told her. At least... judging from the characteristics Lillie described, everything seemed to match.

"..."

Dr. Lilia's thoughts became more and more confused. She scratched her hair and stood up and sat down again and again.

"Mei, what do you think?"

"I... think what Lillie said is very likely correct. Some of the things she said are indeed only known to people in my world."

Mei had actually already believed what Lillie said. She even wondered if it was these Ultimate Beasts that caused such great damage to their Unova region?

Mei can no longer remember the specific events, all she can recall is the feeling of pain.

"Okay... I'll record these things and submit them to the institute when the time comes."

Dr. Lilia nodded seriously. If the area where Liliae was located was really destroyed because of these things, then the research they were conducting now would be no different from courting death.

The few of them continued discussing for a while, and Qiao Ran also mentioned another question he wanted to ask.

"By the way, did you find any golden keys during your excavation?"

"key?"

Dr. Lilia frowned and thought for a while, then finally shook her head: "Sorry, we haven't found anything like this before."

"Ok."

Qiao Ran looked a little disappointed, but he was not discouraged. After all, "keys" were something that could only be found by chance. If he had not been quick-eyed and quick-handed, the key probably would not have been discovered.

"...You seem to be very interested in archaeology? I heard that you and King Yi Tianwang went into a ruin together before."

"It's okay, there are a lot of interesting things in the ruins."

Facing Dr. Lilia's sudden question, Qiao Ran smiled lightly. He was indeed quite interested in the keys, keys and keys in the ruins.

"That's perfect. Recently, a well-known figure in the archaeological community is recruiting assistants. I was planning to send Mei to provide support. Since you are interested, I can recommend you to go and take a look."

"Eh?"

Qiao Ran was a little surprised. He was suddenly recommended to be an assistant?

Dr. Lilia seemed to see Qiao Ran's confusion, so she took the initiative to explain.

"Don't overthink it. You're interested in this area, have supernatural powers, and are surrounded by someone who understands the language of the Pokémon world. You're a pretty good candidate. The language of that world sounds similar to this one, and there's no problem communicating in daily life, but when it comes to writing it down on paper, it has its own unique writing style and rules. I'm only grateful to Mei, otherwise I wouldn't be able to decipher some of the records written on paper."

"Besides, the convener's residence is on the way to Hangzhou. I've heard from Eve that Hangzhou is the place you're going to next, right? Before the mission begins, I'll also send Meiyi over for support."

Dr. Lilia seemed to have arranged everything, but Qiao Ran still raised his hand and asked his last question.

"Then can I ask...um, who is that convener?"

"convener?"

Dr. Lilia gave a somewhat mysterious smile.

"She's one of China's four most powerful Heavenly Kings, and also the one with the longest seniority. It's said her family has some connection to Tie Ji. Tie Ji and I will write you a letter of recommendation, and you'll know when you meet her. She's also very accomplished in archaeology, so you can ask her more questions."

"..."

Qiao Ran blinked in confusion. One of the four strongest... kings?

In other words, the person he was about to meet was the genuine Four Heavenly Kings???

And——this Dr. Lilia…why is she suddenly so optimistic about me? ???
