Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

After saying that, Jiang Quan left immediately, but he was still curious about what the two of them wanted to say next.

However, he could only fill in the blanks in his mind afterward. After wandering around for a while, Jiang Quan left the research institute.

For him, training is the main activity most of the time. If he didn't need to bring Lin Xuan here, he wouldn't even come to the research institute normally.

Jiang Quan's departure did not affect the situation here, and Jiang Cheng sighed and said:

"Why do you look so much like that old man Sun Siming?"

Jiang Cheng looked a bit troubled, seemingly because Lin Xuan still seemed unwilling to believe it.

"Look at me now, I don't even have a Pokémon."

Jiang Cheng demonstrated it to Lin Xuan directly, but to be honest, even though the protection level at the Lingmeng Research Institute was the same as that at the Doctor's place, Lin Xuan wasn't afraid at all.

Thinking about it that way... it does seem to make sense.

Lin Xuan also turned to look at Eevee, but Eevee nodded, its Anticipation ability not activating.

But Lin Xuan was mainly confident in his own wave-guiding power; he felt that Jiang Cheng didn't seem to be lying.

It can only be said that the power of waveguides is really useful, but it cannot be completely believed. Lin Xuan believed it only halfway for now.

Jiang Cheng looked at Lin Xuan with some helplessness at first, but then he felt relieved.

"Come on, let me take you to see the dream device first, we'll talk on the way."

Although he needed to explain something, Jiang Cheng didn't intend to delay the previous schedule, and Lin Xuan didn't think much of it either, and simply followed behind.

"Let the little guy use his superpowers to block it out, there are still quite a lot of people here."

As they walked, Jiang Cheng said that as they headed into the research institute, people would occasionally pass by, making it difficult for them to discuss important matters.

Therefore, Lin Xuan hardly hesitated and immediately let Eevee's psychic power envelop the two of them, then turned to Jiang Cheng and said:

"Alright, from now on, only we ourselves can hear what we're saying."

Lin Xuan had Ibu directly isolate them from the outside world. Although he could hear people talking outside, those outside could not hear what was happening inside.

It was somewhat eerie that all you could see were the two people's mouths moving.

Jiang Cheng nodded; this was enough.

"What do I want to know most right now? Just ask."

"Were those people sent by you?"

"No."

"So you knew I was coming? And you should also know about those people."

"Yes, I know that they have people keeping an eye on Dr. Gao Yuan, but as for how you found them... I'm just guessing."

Jiang Cheng stopped and looked at Lin Xuan with a smile, while Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment.

"That's easy to guess, isn't it? You're Dr. Gao Yuan's junior, and you seem to have borrowed quite a few Pokémon from him before, which is recorded in the League."

Although Lin Xuan's Pokémon were all borrowed from Dr. Gao Yuan's research institute, many of them were also borrowed from other research institutes.

Moreover, these Pokémon, no matter what, are still nominally under the League's control, and at least the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

Moreover, Lin Xuan herself was a researcher at the time, so there was no problem from a procedural standpoint.

"Any questions?"

"No, it's just that it's obvious that the two of you have a good relationship. So, the first thing you did after arriving in Jinhui City was go to the research institute, and then you came straight here after that... It's hard not to be suspicious!"

"...You know that?"

Lin Xuan was obviously referring to her situation in Jinhui City, and the other party seemed to know it very well.

“We weren’t monitoring you, it’s just… you seem to have underestimated your popularity, especially within the league. Your movements are still quite concerning.”

This wasn't malicious, since Lin Xuan didn't actively try to hide her whereabouts. A little investigation would reveal that Lin Xuan went to the research institute that night and stayed there for quite a while before returning to the dojo.

"So you guessed it from the beginning, right?"

Lin Xuan felt somewhat helpless. He felt that he had been careful enough, but he still seemed a bit too inexperienced in front of the other party. Was this a difference in experience?

But there's nothing I can do. It would have been fine before, but now I've been swindled out of my underwear.

Lin Xuan could even feel the amused glances from Xiao Dian and Yi Bu. She never expected that Lin Xuan would be so badly fooled.

Although there were some before, they mainly came from Qin Guan's side. There was nothing that could be done about it, mainly because the difference in strength was too great; they were simply not in the same dimension.

Despite their thoughts, Little Dot and Ibu were still keeping a close eye on Jiang Cheng and the surrounding area.

They dared to do this because they were confident in their own abilities; at worst, they could just run away with Lin Xuan.

With Gallade around, what's there to be afraid of?

"Yeah, it's all guesswork."

Although she already knew the answer, Lin Xuan still couldn't help but sigh when she heard it, and then asked:

"The specific details..."

"They are probably interested in the project that our Reimu Research Institute collaborated on with Dr. Takato before. Someone had also tried to work on it with me before."

"What's the result?"

Jiang Cheng glanced back at Lin Xuan, making Lin Xuan feel that her question seemed a little unnecessary.

There's no need to worry about those guys' situation. Even if the defenses here might not be able to handle Lin Xuan, there aren't many masters like Lin Xuan even in the country.

If an ordinary person were to come here... it would simply be a difficult situation for the forensic pathologist.

Therefore, the fate of those guys is quite obvious; they have no chance of success.

“Those guys came to me before, and although they didn’t succeed, they were probably thinking of another way, and eventually they came to Dr. Gao Yuan.”

"Dream device?"

It seemed that the only attractive thing was the dream device, and Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement.

"They don't dare to directly steal the dream device... Although it would be useless even if they did, they still seem to have not given up and are trying to find a way to replicate the dream device from elsewhere."

"The effects of the dream device may be even greater than you imagine."

"is it?"

It should be said that Lin Xuan had taken the existence of the dream device very seriously from the beginning, but now it seems that it is even more important than originally imagined.

"Although the research on the Dream Device was the result of our collaboration with the Dawn Group, it was actually assisted by the Pokémon League of the two countries behind the scenes; otherwise, it wouldn't have been completed."

At Jiang Cheng's instruction, Lin Xuan was quickly led to a room. Many people walked by, but it seemed that none of them saw Lin Xuan and Jiang Cheng at all.

Lin Xuan even suspected that Ibu had used his superpowers to block them out.

But in reality, Ibrahimovic only blocked the sound; the other party could still see him, but they all seemed completely oblivious, continuing with their work.

Besides these people, there was a huge device in the very center of the room.

Seeing that everyone around seemed not to have seen her, Lin Xuan didn't care much. Little Dian, on the other hand, would occasionally perch on Lin Xuan's shoulder and peek around.

"Is this a dream device?"

Even Lin Xuan was somewhat unsure, mainly because it was different from the dream devices he had seen before.

First of all, in terms of size, the previous dream device was only big enough to fit one person sitting inside, but this one is at least ten times larger.

There were countless pipes connecting to it, and Lin Xuan could feel a special power above it, which seemed to be dream energy.

Lin Xuan had experienced this before when she entered the dream world, and it was through these experiences that she came to the conclusion that this was a dream device.

Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement.

"Sort of, but this is the most special one."

What makes it special?

"Would you like to give it a try? Although it's just been tested, it's perfectly fine to use if you want. We're also quite interested to see how it would differ for people with superpowers or waveguide users to use it."

This question made Lin Xuan hesitate to answer, mainly because she didn't even know what this thing was for, so it was best not to use it casually.

His wave-guiding power is decent, but compared to the strength of the smaller ones, it's still not very reliable.

"Hahahaha! I was just saying that casually. This thing is actually not usable yet. It's still under development and requires a lot of dream energy to support it."

Jiang Cheng laughed, mainly wanting to see Lin Xuan's reaction, which was indeed interesting.

"So this thing..."

"You should know that the dream world is actually a virtual world built using dream energy, right?"

After the joke, Jiang Cheng slowly began to explain.

written request for leave

I'll take one more day off. It feels like these two months are almost over. I need to organize my thoughts.

Chapter 543 New Dream World

The dream world is a special virtual world, and Lin Xuan already knew this, but she still wanted Jiang Cheng to tell her the details.
