Chapter 554 Hourly Monitoring
Kanto region, Red Lotus Research Institute.
Old Master Xia sat in front of the coffee table with a sincere look on his face, surrounded by his old friends.
A'Du spoke first, "Senior, your suggestion is very good. If you really come with me to the World Championships, it will undoubtedly reduce my pressure a lot.
Now no one can predict the movements of the Hunter Guild, and the World Championships held every few years attracts the attention of audiences all over the world. We, the Masters-level contestants, dare not be careless and must go all out.
By the final stage, all contestants will be severely injured, which is the weakest time at the conference. Your presence is enough to deter those who have evil intentions!"
"That's right." Grandma Kikuko nodded.
"I agree with the idea of crossing. With you, me, and A-Jie, we will be traveling together. I don't think the Hunter Guild will be able to cause any trouble. As for the Kanto and Chengdu alliances, we can leave them to the other six kings. We don't need to worry too much about them."
After King Kikuko finished speaking, A'du nodded in agreement, but there was no sign of A'ju expressing her opinion.
So he looked at Aju and asked, "Aju, do you have a different opinion?"
"Hmm?" Ah Ju seemed to be interrupted and was stunned for a moment, but then immediately said, "No, let's do as Senior Xia said! I fully support it!"
"Okay, that's settled then." A'Du looked at everyone with a smile on his face, and Xia Bo was also very satisfied with the result.
He knew that once the World Championships started, Lu Yi would definitely go there. And when the time came, the old man would bring along a bunch of friends, so he wouldn't be afraid of that shadow attacking again!
Kikuko, who is good at the Shadow Killing System, together with Aju, the world's strongest ninja, will make sure that guy has no chance of returning!
However, just as the old man was preparing to plan his itinerary, the magic wall puppet suddenly teleported to his side and informed him that the three Yinchuans would be returning soon.
Hearing this, A'du said that the rest of the topic could be discussed later, and he and the two kings, Kikuko and A'ju, left their seats first.
Ten minutes later, Yinchuan, Alei and Guangzhi, slowly walked into the gate of the institute.
Xia Bo had been waiting for a long time. He took out a palm-sized bag and handed it to Yinchuan, saying, "Boy, I have a favor to ask of you. Give this to Lu Yi. Tell him to open this bag if he encounters an emergency that he cannot handle in the future."
"Eh?" Yinchuan was stunned when he heard that, and asked, "Wouldn't it be better if you handed it to him personally? I'm afraid that Lina will receive other commissions and may not be able to meet Brother Yi soon!"
"I'll never meet him." Xia Bo curled his lips helplessly.
"That kid just experienced an assassination attempt a few days ago. I told him not to run around the world, but he refused to listen. Now he must be worried that I will restrict his travel, so he probably won't come back in the short term."
"Ah? Assassination?"
Yinchuan was stunned. He had been traveling with Lu Yi for so long these days, but he had never heard of this!
The old man added: "If there is a new commission, let A Lei and Guang Zhi handle it. You should first deliver this bag to the right place, and pay more attention to Lu Yi's safety."
"Oh, OK!" Yinchuan agreed readily, then picked up the bag and shook it in his hand. There seemed to be granular objects in it, which were scattered when shaken.
He looked at Xia Bo in confusion and asked, "Grandpa Xia, what's in this?"
"Poison." Old Master Xia said calmly. "It's the kind that takes one pill and doesn't need to sleep for several days."
"what???"
Yinchuan widened his eyes in disbelief!
……
Late at night on October 10th, in the northern part of the desert in the Hoenn region.
After more than ten hours of searching, a small team of the giant-jawed ant colony actually dug out a corpse at the foot of the mountain!
Upon hearing the news, Lu Yi and Xiao Fen rushed to the scene immediately, but did not dare to inform Mengge Cactus who was in other teams.
This body is definitely A-Pu! The half of the body without legs doesn't need to be examined at all!
In addition, there was a package under the head of the corpse. When it was opened, it was full of men's daily necessities.
Lu Yi felt a little sad. Although A Pu passed away peacefully, his death was very sloppy.
There were several empty bottles of pesticides beside him, and his hands were naturally crossed and placed on his lower abdomen. I guess he must have been in a very peaceful state of mind at that time.
He seemed to have dug a hole for himself, then used the package as a pillow, drank all the pesticides in one breath, and finally waited quietly for death.
Lu Yi didn't know whether he had experienced any painful struggle before his death, but judging from the final posture of his body, A Pu was indeed a very decent person.
The desert in the Hoenn area was very windy, and Lu Yi only briefly inspected the scene when a thick layer of sand and dust accumulated on A-Puk's body.
No wonder Mengge Cactus couldn't find him. More than a month had passed since the two of them, and the wind and sand had already buried all traces of A-Pu. If it weren't for the help of the giant jaw ant colony today, it would be difficult to find him with human search alone!
Soon, Mengge Cactus got the news from somewhere and rushed over frantically.
Arcanine and Aledo stopped it. After all, Appo's current appearance was too scary and it could easily leave a lifelong shadow on it!
Aledo directly used hypnosis, causing the opponent to fall asleep unexpectedly.
The Psychic-type hypnosis trick can be effective against Dark-attribute Pokémon, which is a detail that most Dark-type Pokémon themselves don't know!
After dealing with the Mengge cactus, Lu Yi reported to Junsha, who immediately sent police officers to the scene to collect evidence.
The next morning, the testing department presented the identification results, confirming that A Pu's cause of death was caused by pesticides. All details of his body were consistent with Mengge Cactus' description, the testimony of the training factory staff, and the contents of the suicide note.
So the Hoenn Alliance cremated his body and eventually handed the ashes to the hands of Mengge Cactus.
It carried it back to the mountains with tears in its eyes. According to its idea, Lu Yi and his friends built a tombstone at the place where it first met A Pu.
Members of the giant-jawed ant colony contributed their own food reserves and filled the void in front of the tomb with large and small fruits.
And in the center of the various fruits, there is a red and white spherical object that is particularly dazzling under the sunlight.
That was the Poké Ball that Mengge Cactus had kept for a long time.
It could never have imagined that for the first time in his life, A Pu did not reject it, and it was in this way.
On this day, Mengge Cactus knelt in front of the tomb for a very long time.
It was so long that the villagers who had been collecting volcanic ash had finished their busy work and returned home to have their reunion dinner.
……
(Interlude of the day, 6 a.m.)
"Didi-di-! There's a call, Lotto!"
"Didi-di-! There's a call, Lotto!"
"Hello? Sister Feiya? Why are you calling me so early?"
"Lu Yi, are you able to talk now?"
"It's convenient. I'm in the mountains and there's not many people around."
"That's fine! I'm going to tell you something important!
I secretly installed surveillance cameras near Mr. Zvoch's mansion, thinking that I could help you observe him 24 hours a day! Who would have thought that I would discover a strange detail! "
"What details?"
"President Zfuchi walked out of the house during the day and did not come back at night. Instead, Mr. Yi's secretary Xiaobai walked in. But the next morning, President Zfuchi walked out of the house as usual!
I'm sure he never went in there!!"
