Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 14 Alley Hypnosis
Kanaz is a coastal city, and in autumn, the sea breeze always brings a slight chill. Rain falls like silk threads, weaving a net that covers the city. As the raindrops fall, they splash up into glistening droplets that bloom like flowers.

Accompanied by the soft sound of water, a figure carrying an umbrella slowly walked from under the lamplight into a narrow alley.

The yellowish light outlined a blurry line between light and shadow outside the alley.

"Kou Jie——"

A cheerful chirping came from under the umbrella.

"Yes, yes, you've mastered the Poison-type move 'Mist,' opening the door to Poison-type moves. I wonder who it is that, as a Poison-type Pokémon, can't even control the poison they release."

Jing He's helpless voice followed.

He realized that Gastly always used Poison-type moves specifically against him.

The first time he was mildly poisoned, but this time he was directly poisoned!
If it weren't for the foresight to prepare an antidote last time, relying solely on Gastly to detoxify itself would probably be unreliable.

The price of just one antidote...
Jinghe's heart was bleeding.

However, considering that Gastly has learned "Misty Mist," an antidote is barely acceptable.

'If I get poisoned a few more times like this, won't I end up like "Super Rookie"?'

Jinghe inwardly mocked herself.

"Kou Jie! (Hands on hips)"

Gastly stood in front of him.

A serious look on his face.

If you just persevere for another ten minutes, or even half an hour, I'm sure I can solve it!
Jing He's lips twitched.

"Half an hour? This time it's really poisonous. You could have changed trainers in half an hour."

"I believe you can do it!"

"I want to believe in myself too."

Jinghe's voice trailed off halfway through her sentence.

click!
A slightly abrupt and faint sound rang out in the alley.

Gastly seemed to sense something, peeking out a pair of eyes from the bottom edge of the umbrella.

In the alley behind them, a dark shadow flashed by.

Jinghe and Gastly exchanged a glance, then fell silent and continued walking forward at their own pace.

But as he approached the corner, his pace suddenly quickened, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the dark alley.

"Ok?"

After they disappeared, at the other end of the alley, a figure in a black raincoat seemed somewhat surprised.

Discovered?

He quickened his pace and hurried toward the direction where Jing He had disappeared.

click!
As the person ran to the corner of the alley, he suddenly felt as if he had stepped on something, making a soft, crisp sound.

However, such a faint sound seemed insignificant on a rainy night like this, especially when one's attention was completely drawn to something else.

"Hello."

Before the man could look around for Jing He, he heard a call without any emotion ring in his ears.

The man was startled and almost instinctively looked toward the source of the sound.

He was greeted by a grotesque, grinning face filled with terror.

Especially those big white eyes, with their strange and mysterious circles appearing.

Hypnosis!
"Kou Jie——"

Gastly's voice gradually faded in his ears, and the sound grew farther and farther away.

The man felt his eyelids grow heavy, his body gradually became unresponsive, and his once strong body became weak and powerless. He was so sleepy that all he wanted to do was get a good night's sleep.

Immediately afterwards, another gentle voice came, like a spring breeze, like a friendly older brother next door, making people feel relaxed.

"You're sleepy. You're lying on a soft, comfortable bed. Relax your eyelids and slowly..."

After a short while, the man stood there motionless, his eyes closed, his breathing even, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Kou Jie?"

Gastly tentatively brushed past the man, but he remained unmoved.

Jinghe also stepped out from behind Gastly at this moment, staring at the man with a heavy expression.

However, thanks to Gastly's "hypnosis" ability, his hypnosis went much more smoothly than expected.

Hypnotizing someone involves a complex process. The most important step is that the person being hypnotized must trust the hypnotist enough to establish a sufficient trust relationship. Secondly, the person being hypnotized must be completely relaxed and without defensiveness.

However, all of this is thanks to Gastly's "Hypnosis," which omits many unnecessary and tedious processes. It is still quite difficult for an ordinary person to fight against the power of Pokémon.

"Who are you?" Jing He's expression was solemn, but her voice remained gentle.

"Da... Da Hui." The voice came as if it were a murmur, intermittent and extremely weak, but barely audible.

"Who sent you?" Jinghe continued to ask.

"Team Leader Tsuga."

Tsuga?

He seemed to have vaguely heard this name before.

"Why are you looking for me?" The man fell silent.

"Kou Jie——"

Seeing that the man didn't speak, Gastly wanted to attack, but Jing He stopped it with a look and asked again:

"Who are you?"

“Big, big corydalis,” the man answered again.

Corydalis?
Corydalis Co., Ltd.!
Jinghe suddenly realized who this "Jinhe" was.

Tsuga, a former engineer at the Great Corydalis Corporation, once appeared on television to promote the company's "Sea Corydalis" and "New Corydalis" projects, as well as the redevelopment project of Corydalis City.

The Great Purple Co., Ltd. was once on par with the German Manufacturing Co., Ltd., where Daigo worked.

It is also a strong competitor of Devon Manufacturing AG.

The company's businesses were once spread throughout the Hoenn region, but it later declared bankruptcy for various reasons, and most of the companies were acquired by Devon Corporation.

It was later revealed that this Tsuga was not only an engineer at the Great Cosmos Corporation, but also in charge of the company's intelligence work, and had sent commercial spies to the German company.

"Dr. Solans's house, you also set it up?"

Jinghe continued to ask, but she felt a little relieved.

He had thought they were behemoths like Team Ocean and Team Lava, but they turned out to be just the remaining disillusioned members of the Great Corydalis Corporation.
"Yes"

"What are you looking for?"

"Stone, stone."

Or is it a stone?

Jing He frowned.

Shouldn't it be looking for some file?

After all, Dr. Solans's father, Solans Raizo, was also a member of the Great Corydalis Company.

Jinghe got what she wanted to know.

"Kou Jie?"

After he finished asking the question, Gastly licked its lips, a crimson glint in its eyes.

Should we kill him?

Upon hearing this, Jing He's face darkened.

Do you really think Officer Jenny is just sitting around doing nothing?
Besides, things would get even more complicated after you kill him, right?
Now that we know the other party's goals and objectives, many things become much easier.

He ignored Gastly's suggestion, and after carefully considering his words, slowly said:
"You found Jing He and even broke into her house, but you didn't find what you were looking for."

After saying that, he stared at the man and said, "Repeat it three times."

"I found Jinghe, have you confirmed it?" the man murmured, repeating.

At the same time, Jing He squatted down and picked up all the broken plastic fragments on the ground.

This was left behind by him beforehand.

Since he knew someone had been following him, he couldn't possibly be completely unprepared.

The same applies to the crisp sound that came from the alley entrance.

In a dark, cramped, and unclean alley like this, no one would pay attention to the things on the ground, but they can serve as a warning to him.

The reason he didn't take the main road was that there wasn't a proper main road between the school and his home; he actually felt more comfortable in the narrow and messy alleyways.

At least he'll be much more familiar with the terrain than others, and alleys are more conducive to the performance of Pokémon like Gastly.

"Walk."

After finishing her business, Jing He quickly left, holding an umbrella.

"Kou Jie——"

Gastly quickly followed.

However, shortly after Jinghe disappeared into the depths of the alley, Gastly emerged from the wall again.

Looking at Da Hui, who seemed to be asleep, he chuckled sinisterly.

It's not that easy.

"Kou Jie~~"

I'm going to give you a nightmare that will keep you up for three days straight!

I don’t know how long it took.

The man suddenly woke up with a start.

His eyes were bloodshot and bloodshot, his body was trembling slightly, and his lips were pale.

Why are you here?

The fear in the man's eyes lingered for a long time, but his thoughts gradually returned to normal.

Oh, right, that teacher at the Razorville Pokémon Academy!

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he suddenly seemed to remember something else.

"It's not with that person either. We need to tell Team Leader Tsuga right away. Now, only that young master Devon is left."
