"It's just that I might not come back. If everything goes well, I'll be back after finishing the matter in less than half an hour." Mingyao shook his head: "As for breakfast... you go find the old man with green hair in a white turban. Or the red-haired lady who owns a barber shop, they have enough to eat."
"Oh."
After getting the solution to the food problem that she was most concerned about, Listia nodded with satisfaction and returned to the room designated for her.
Mingyao took a deep breath, and at this moment Zhubei appeared at his door holding the still sleepy Bingyibu.
Mingyao walked out of the room, nodded slightly to Zhubei, and took out a poke ball from his bag.
"Sorry, I have to work a little overtime today... (Gardevoir, teleport and walk!)"
——High-five surprise——
After being strengthened with mastery seeds, Mingyao's Gardevoir's teleportation proficiency is quite high, and the speed, distance and accuracy of the moves are exceptionally good.In just over 10 minutes, they led Mingyao and Zhubei across most of the Xicui area and arrived at the Pokémon Gym again.
When he left, Mingyao knew that he would have to visit this castle again sooner or later, but he never expected that it would happen so soon.
They stood far away in the forest a few hundred meters outside the gym gate, but they saw that even though it was already past ten o'clock, the windows on the second floor of the gym still revealed light.
"What's going on?" Zhubei asked confused: "What happened? They were willing to light so many candles at night?"
"For them, a lot of things did happen today." Mingyao curled his lips: "It was discovered that the new sexy senior sister was fake, and then the mysterious senior disciple and several other people suddenly disappeared... It was a bit of an abnormal reaction. It couldn’t be more normal.”
But it was a pity that Mingyao didn't have the time or the mood to see the reactions of the gym disciples after the incident. He called out the Warrior Eagle, carried Zhu Bei with him, and went straight to the storage room on the fifth floor of the castle from the outside.
After flying near the target attic, Mingyao once again took out an elf ball.
"(Giant Pincer Mantis, use Cross Cut on the roof to make a hole that I can pass through!)"
The red metal armor reflected the light of the moon. The giant mantis made a sharp stroke with its arms, and a complete circular gap appeared silently from the ceiling.The Giant Pincer Mantis folded his arms, as if he was a "master in basic skills, don't be stupid".
Mingyao didn't complain about his posed Pokémon, but jumped off the Warrior Eagle, passed through the hole, and landed in the treasure room with a "clack".
Mingyao looked around and took a deep breath.
This place...has been touched!
Chapter 131 The Stranger
Mingyao still remembers the scene of the treasure room he viewed through Gengar's perspective when he came here last time. The furnishings here cannot be said to be orderly and complete, but at least they are neatly arranged with various wooden and iron boxes. One can tell at a glance that this is a storage room.
But now, these...are all gone!
Most of the small mountains of boxes that originally filled the room had disappeared, leaving only a few small boxes thrown haphazardly on the floor in the corners of the room.
Mingyao walked over, picked up a remaining box and shook it gently.
Well, as expected, it was all empty.
Mingyao reluctantly opened all the boxes, but unfortunately, all the boxes were empty inside.
Except for these empty boxes, the entire treasure room seemed to have been ransacked, and nothing of value was left behind.
At this time, the pearl shell finally fell from the warrior eagle, passed through the hole in the ceiling three or two times, and fell steadily to the ground with a snap.
Although she is not as good as the professionally trained Mingyao, Zhubei is not just a stay-at-home young lady. As the chief of the tribe...well, the leader of the Pearl Team, her motor skills are quite good, and she can climb It doesn't take much effort to climb up and down.
After she came down, she looked around and said in a confused tone: "Is this the gym's storage room? Why does it feel a little empty?"
"It wasn't like this until last night." Mingyao shook his head: "Obviously, someone emptied this place."
"Could they be the three sisters of the wild bandits?!" Zhubei immediately reacted and said with a solemn expression: "In that case, wouldn't they have already obtained the remaining half of the volcano stone?
Let's go to Blowing Fire Island!Stop them from summoning the crater Pokémon! "
With that said, Zhubei raised her head and looked at the hole in the ceiling again, and began to think about how to get out.
But Mingyao didn't move. After he lowered his head and thought for a moment, he vetoed: "No, wait a minute... Something is fishy here!"
"Huh?" Zhu Bei was startled: "What's weird? Hasn't everything here been moved?"
"It's just because it's been moved cleanly...or rather, because it's too clean!"
Mingyao raised a finger: "For example, if you were the three sisters of the wild thieves, what would be the primary purpose of sneaking into the gym?"
"Of course... I'm here to get the half of the volcano rock."
"That's right, in order to get the half of the volcano stone, the three sisters of the Wild Thieves sneaked into the gym. After overhearing that the fourth and fifth floors were "restricted areas", they set their sights on this place and tried to find a way to reach the fifth floor. A treasure room.
Here they found half of their beloved volcano stone, but found that there were not only volcano stones, but also many other treasures... What would you do? "
"Then, of course, I will take the other treasures away with me." Zhubei said without thinking: "If I were the three sisters of the wild thieves, it would be rare for me to sneak in. I would naturally wish to take more loot with me."
"Yes, but this has a major premise, that is, they have to be able to take away so many things!"
Mingyao gestured twice towards the now empty room: "There were originally many, many boxes here. I asked Gengar to open them. The total contents weighed several hundred kilograms at least, which is more than the three wild thieves sisters themselves. It’s still heavy in total!
It must be quite a burden to carry so many things with you.Do you think the three thieves sisters, who are known for their cleverness and cunning, would take such a big risk and take away everything here?
Even if they just brought the baby with them, did they also take the box with them?Are you going to sell it to the old woman who collects scrap iron and paper in Zhuqing Village? "
"...That's right! In that case, they should pick out the most valuable things here that won't hinder their movements and take them away!" Zhubei also reacted: "But the fact is that the things here are accompanied by boxes. Together, they all disappeared!”
"Then there is only one conclusion - the people who moved the things here are probably not the three thieves sisters."
"If it's not the three wild bandit sisters, who are they? The gym disciples?"
"I don't know, there is too little information now." Mingyao shook his head and pointed downward: "So, we need to stay here for a while to collect more information."
After thinking for a moment, Mingyao stepped on the shadow, and a purple-black head quietly emerged from the end of the shadow.
"It's time to work, Gengar. Go down along the shadow of the wall and observe the actions and words of the gym disciples. Be careful not to be discovered!"
Gengar nodded and immediately dived into the shadows. Mingyao also leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, connecting his vision with Gengar.
From his perspective, Gengar was weaving in and out of the shadows, moving unimpeded across the floor.
Below is Listia's room. There is not much change here compared to the morning. The only difference is that there are a few new dark footprints on the high-end carpet - judging from the location, it should be this set of footprints. The master opened the items in the treasure room on the fifth floor.
Mingyao instructed Geng Gui to continue diving, and found that although there was no one in the lobby on the third floor, the door was open, and there was faint noise from the second floor outside the door.
"(Close to the corner, go out along the stairs, and listen to what they are saying.)"
Geng Gui followed Mingyao's instructions and went downstairs. As soon as he floated out of the stairwell, he saw someone walking over in a hurry.
Gengar subconsciously wanted to go through the wall and hide, but Mingyao looked stern:
"(Wait, don't go through the wall, hide on the ceiling and observe him!)"
It was an ordinary-looking young man, who looked to be in his early 20s. Apart from a few Poké Balls hanging around his waist, he had no features worth mentioning.
The only problem is... Mingyao has never seen him!
After being undercover for more than ten days, Mingyao knew all the basic information about the identities and appearances of more than 100 disciples inside and outside the gym, except for the second-ranked "second disciple" who was said to have gone out with Ah Shun!
And among them, the young man in front of him was not included.
The young man did not realize that there was a ghost above his head staring at him, but he quickly walked across the corridor, turned a corner and entered a room.
"(Follow!)" Mingyao instructed without hesitation.
Gengar clung to the ceiling, turning into a crack and passing through from above.
Mingyao had an impression of this room. It was a large, unused room in the gym, and there was no one there all year round.
But now, there are one, five, eight, fourteen...
twenty!
Suddenly there were twenty strangers here who Mingyao had never seen before, but they were carrying Poké Balls!
Chapter 132 Helper
Mingyao asked Geng Gui to hide on the ceiling and scan around, and found that the people here were male, female, old and young, and their clothing and appearance were also very different, and none of them looked like locals from the Xicui area.
There are many special craftsmen brought in by Team Galaxy from other places in Zhuqing Village. Their accents and costumes are very distinctive, so Mingyao can roughly tell the origins of some people through Gengar's sight and ears.
"(These two look like they are from the Johto area. The two with darker skin are from the Alola area? And the Hezhong person at the end... It's weird, how can these people from all over the world come to be? Appeared here suddenly?!)"
Just as Mingyao was thinking about it secretly, he saw someone raising his head and saying to the young man who had just entered the door:
"Mr. Wu Lian, did that man named Shi Yi say anything?" The man crossed his arms and seemed a little impatient: "Ashun brought us all the way here, and he actually let us stay here. Waiting? We arrived here at six o'clock in the afternoon, and he left without saying a word, forcing us to wait here for more than four hours?!"
Mingyao couldn't help but be stunned.
They...were brought here by Ah Shun?
In other words, during the day today, as soon as he left, Ah Shun came back with this group of people a few hours later?
Moreover, from what they said, Ah Shun seems to have gone out again?
Facing the question, the young man known as Wu Lian could only shake his head helplessly: "I don't know, neither Ashun nor Xizhuo are in this castle now, and we don't know anyone here.
I don’t know if you have noticed it, but the group of people called the “dojo disciples” seem to be a little distracted, and Ah Shun looked obviously shocked after talking to them today, and hurried out. "
"Could it be that something unexpected happened in Ashun's gym when he left here?" someone asked doubtfully.
"It's not clear, and I'm afraid they won't tell us the truth." Wu Lian shook her head: "In the final analysis, we don't know what Ashun's purpose is in calling us here. We don't know whether it is good or evil."
Everyone in the room suddenly started talking, and the air seemed to be filled with suspicion and suspicion towards Ah Shun.
At this moment, a roaring voice suddenly came from the crowd:
"Don't be so suspicious, okay? As the saying goes, if you trust people more, the world in your eyes will be better and your life will be happier."
As soon as this voice came out that clearly went against the mainstream atmosphere in the room, everyone else immediately fell silent.
More than 20 pairs of eyes in the whole room, plus Gengar's eyes on the ceiling, all looked at the owner of the voice.
He was a young man dressed as a typical traveler. His specific age and identity could not be identified. He seemed to have a relaxed smile on his face, but
A very troublesome guy - this was Mingyao's first impression of him.
I saw him looking around with a smile, looking at everyone with no nervousness at all. Instead, he said confidently: "What's wrong, everyone, haven't you heard of this truth?"
Someone couldn't help but said: "No, Mr. Qi Yun... why do you want to speak for Ah Shun like this?"
"Oh?" The man named Qi Yun crossed his arms and said with a faint smile:
"Why can't I speak for him? Isn't it human nature to eat people with short mouths and take people with short hands?
Thanks to Ashun, I enjoyed a full half-month trip on an expensive steam passenger ship, from Fengyuan to Guandong and then to Hezhong, and finally came here, and he also gave me several valuable gifts. The precious props.We think of others well, so we should help them speak up.
And it’s not just me, everyone in this room has accepted Ah Shun’s props, right?In that case, let's be a little more patient and see how things develop afterwards.If Ah Shun is really planning something against us, it won't be too late to take action. "
After saying this, the man named Qi Yun smiled and waved his hands, retreated to the corner of the room, and whispered something to another gloomy man outside.
Most of the people in this room were just strangers who had known each other for a few days. After Qi Yun's interference, they seemed to have lost interest in further discussion. They each stepped aside, either bowing their heads in thought or closing their minds. With his eyes resting, the whole room suddenly fell into silence.
Mingyao roughly learned two things from their conversation.
First, they are people Ah Shun found from various regions.
Second, the items in the treasure room were not stolen by anyone, but were taken out by Ah Shun himself to bribe them.
As for why they were brought here... Seeing that everyone in the room had at least four or five Poké Balls hanging around their waists, the answer was obviously not difficult to guess.
Even in the gym, there are only a few people who carry so many Poké Balls with them. Only the top [-] disciples do this - in other words, this is also a symbol of strength.
This group of people are reinforcements brought in by Ashun!
In order to deal with Mingyao and Team Galaxy, he recruited Pokémon battle masters from all over the world!
"Tsk, I was wondering where that guy had been for nearly a month, but I didn't expect that he was not stupid at all. He also knew how to enhance his strength to fight..." Mingyao couldn't help but curled his lips.
Seeing that everyone in the room was silent, and could not hear any other information for a while, Mingyao had no choice but to instruct Gengar to leave the room, while he opened his eyes and looked at Zhubei, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Gengar sent some information... Generally speaking, the situation is not optimistic."
Zhubei suddenly became nervous: "What happened?"
"First of all, Ah Shun is back today, but now he is out again. It's hard to say exactly why.
Secondly, he left the gym before...it turned out that he was looking for help!Now there are more than 20 new Pokémon trainers in the gym, and they probably don't look weak! "
"What?" Zhubei reacted immediately: "To find so many people...is he planning to attack Zhuqing Village directly?"
"This is very likely. Rather, I really can't guess any other reason." Mingyao shook his head: "No matter what Ashun does when he leaves now, we must find a way to capture him as soon as possible!
If he was allowed to organize the more than 20 new arrivals and gym disciples and quietly attack the village, it would definitely be a big trouble!
within today!From now until dark tomorrow, we must catch Ah Shun and nip his plan in the cradle! "
