Pinnacle of the Stars

Chapter 71 71. The purpose behind it

"Jun Shalan, 21 years old, was promoted to the second-level investigator of the Kanto Alliance because of her outstanding performance in action."

During her inauguration ceremony, Jun Shalan did not feel any joy in her heart.

Like 'Joy', as a family that has existed since the establishment of the Pokémon Alliance, most Junshas will choose to join in activities against criminals when they grow up, and set it as a family motto to be proud of.

It's just that even if the sisters sent blessings, even if the elders sent praises.

But as the instructor once said when she graduated, she cannot be called a "kind" person.

61 criminals were killed, and 27 Pokémon were killed with their own hands. If you count the indirect killings through command, this number will be multiplied several times.

I can't remember the name or appearance, but the number is always engraved in my heart.

With the investigator's career still going on, for Jun Shalan, every extra smile on her face was a kind of disrespect for these dead lives.

Gently put down the person who came to inspect, Shalan poked her head out, looked around the intersection ahead, and after confirming that no one was following, she turned to face Lu Qiu, who was facing a password door inside. Asked: "How long will it take?"

"Hurry up, don't rush me."

Lu Qiu rubbed his eyes, the corners of his eyes felt a little dry after staring for a long time: "The password should be [-], that's right, but I don't know if the wrong input will trigger an alarm."

According to the force direction of the fingerprints to judge the input sequence of the combination disk, this is the theoretical knowledge taught to him by Kongmu. According to the former, he has used this method to open more than one combination lock.

It may sound like nonsense, but when the fingerprints attached to the digital buttons can be seen clearly with the naked eye, this nonsense has the value of practicing.

He didn't care about the second half of Lu Qiu's sentence.

Hearing the result, Jun Shalan directly swiped the found electronic card on the code disk, followed by double-clicking with her fingers, and entered the numbers one after another according to his guess.

"Crack-"

After confirmation, the alloy door opened with a sound.

Facing the dark stairway, Jun Shalan was silent for a while, lowered her head and took a deep look at Lu Qiu. Under the control of the awkward feeling, for some reason, she subconsciously reached out and tapped his forehead.

"Let's go. Time is running out. Before they are discovered, we must find the owner of Hualan Pavilion."

Behind the electronic door is a narrow downward staircase. After interrogating several guards, they learned that the captured person Shi Jiu mentioned earlier was imprisoned here by the Rockets.

Be careful all the way down, when you reach the bottom, a row of iron gates attracted the attention of the two.

Perhaps it was because he didn't expect someone to break into this place. Except for a few guards outside the door, there were no extra Team Rocket members guarding inside.

"Clang clang-"

Hearing footsteps, there was a knocking sound immediately behind the iron door.

From the corner of the eye, Jun Shalan was a little surprised.

I saw that in the row of iron doors on the left were closed Pokémon who were seriously injured.

Gem Starfish, White Sea Lion, Black Seahorse
'It is the Pokémon of the owner of Hualan. '

After just one glance, Jun Shalan immediately identified these Pokémon with the intelligence.

"What are you going to do again, haven't you given up yet?"

There was sarcasm in the dry voice, and came from the iron gate on the other side: "I said before, I won't cooperate with your Rockets, and I will get the same answer no matter how many times I ask."

Some thin men, even though they were scolding angrily, there was still a hint of gentleness in their voices.

"Master Hualan."

Jun Shalan confirmed it, and in the surprised look of the other party, she threw the poke ball and called out her Pokémon.

"Kamo—!!"

The million-ton punch landed firmly on the door lock, and with a loud bang, the electric arc just flashed, and it shattered directly under the fist of the water arrow turtle.

Jun Shalan took off her hat, and her short dark green hair fell down, "I am the second-level investigator Jun Shalan, please cooperate with my work."

After seeing the woman's appearance clearly, the owner of Hualan's eyes trembled slightly, and he stood up tremblingly holding his chest, "Has the Alliance finally sent someone over? I'm sorry, I didn't protect Hualan City well, and I caused you trouble."

"Can you still act?"

In the other party's nod, Jun Shalan stepped forward to check, and after confirming that she was only weak and had no obvious injuries, she said solemnly: "Because of some accident, there were only two of us who came here. In order to search here, we fell down halfway We killed a few Team Rocket members, and we have to get out of here before the abnormality is discovered."

"I know where to leave. There is a pipeline leading directly to the sea."

After clarifying the situation, the host Hualan took a deep breath and said, "They synthesized a man-made virus targeting Pokémon, and planned to discharge it back into the city and the surrounding seas through that pipeline."

"What did you say?!"

After hearing that the plan was so big and confirmed that it would be harmful to the city, Jun Shalan ignored the question of escaping, and said with cold eyes: "What is their purpose of doing this, is it purely sabotage?"

"Do not."

shook his head.

"Team Rocket is to capture a legendary Pokémon, the guardian of Hualan City." Without deception, the owner of Hualan City revealed all the secrets of the city.

"Shuijun."

Holding the Mohaima in his arms, followed by the Gyarados that was about to reach the roof of the roof, under the gaze of Xiangwei falling to his shoulders, Lu Qiu came to him and said coldly: "The Rockets are here for it, right?" ?”

Nodding his head with difficulty, the owner of the Hualan Pavilion looked at Lu Qiu with a little questioning and puzzlement in his eyes.

The name Suicune is not known to ordinary people.

"He is a researcher studying with Dr. Damu Xuecheng, and his name is Lu Qiu." Seeing the inquiry, Jun Shalan introduced him: "Before coming here, Lu Qiu should have sent you a message about the smelly mud. study application."

After hearing the words, the owner of the Hualan pavilion nodded clearly, and then bowed heavily, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for putting you in danger."

"Okay, we'll talk about this kind of thing after we get out." Jun Shalan interrupted his movement.

"Master Hualan, do you know more about Suicune?" Lu Qiu asked.

After hesitating for a while, facing Shang Luqiu's greedy eyes, the owner Hualan took a deep breath and said softly:

"Hualan City is called the City of Blue Water because it is under the blessing of Suicune."

With Jun Shalan frowning, the owner of the Hualan Pavilion explained: "Behind this title, there is a secret that only the mayor and the owner of the Hualan Pavilion know."

"When the city is in danger, there will be a Pokémon who rides the north wind and will come to wash the dirt from the polluted clear water."

'Festival of flowers, just like Xie Mi's. '

Subconsciously, Lu Qiu thought of the experience he encountered when he stayed in Jihua City.

At that time, there were also such a group of people.

'How did Team Rocket know about these Pokémon? '

Just like the name, the whereabouts of the legendary Pokémon are uncertain, including Eudemons, such as Xie Mi and Suicune. Their whereabouts are only a secret known to some human "guardians".

How could such a secret be known by Team Rocket, who tried to capture them in vain? !

Thinking like this, just when Lu Qiu wanted to ask some more details for comparison.

Boom! ! !
An earth-shaking explosion interrupted him.

While shaking, Jun Shalan stretched out her hand to support the weak Hualan Pavilion Master beside her, while the Gyarados used its tail to gently cover Lu Qiu and Xiangwei Miao in its arms.

"What happened?!"

"Up there."

When the shaking stopped, Jun Shalan immediately raised her hand and said, "I'll talk about unnecessary questions later, and leave now, Master Hualan, show us the way, let's escape."
