New Years Eve in Pokémon World

With the newly minted 100 yuan in his hand, Matsuno did not choose to stay outside or go for a meal or anything. If it went according to yesterday's situation, as a "driver", he would be able to eat staff meals in this hotel today.

This is wonderful.

He wandered back to the hotel lobby, where there was a special seating area. After sitting down, he poured himself a cup of tea and casually pulled out a magazine from the bookshelf next to him.

Different from the digest magazines he read when he was a child, this magazine seemed to sell women's clothes. After flipping through it, he found it boring. When he was about to put it back, he suddenly felt a vague gaze on him.

That line of sight did not reveal that Matsuno was aware of it, and he became a lot bolder. Matsuno even saw with his peripheral vision that the guy who had been peeking at him took out his mobile phone and tried to take a secret photo of him.

The moment the shutter button was pressed, Matsuno turned his head and avoided being captured by the camera.

Then looking over, Matsuno noticed that the long-haired man who looked like Kojiro was hiding his phone in embarrassment next to the mythical beast Pixiu.

Who is this and why do you want to secretly take pictures of him?

Matsuno frowned and picked up a large magazine from the bookshelf again. He didn't intend to read seriously. Instead, he seemed to cover his face. Then he found a corner and sat down again.

But what he didn't expect was that the long-haired man who secretly photographed him couldn't hold back and came to talk to him.

"Young man, do you have a lighter? Let me borrow a fire."

Matsuno put down the magazine and turned to look at the "No Smoking" sign in the hotel lobby. He was silent for a moment and declined politely.

"Sorry, I don't smoke."

The atmosphere was a little cold.

Seeing that the conversation failed, the man was not discouraged. Instead, he sat down directly next to Matsuno and moved closer to him mysteriously.

"Your name is Matsuno. I heard that you discovered a paradise world. Is this true or false?"

Matsuno: "..."

He glanced at the man suspiciously, but the latter didn't feel there was anything wrong with what he said, and instead stretched out his hand again.

"Let's get to know each other. I am an evil spirit warder. Can you take me to see that world when you have time in the future?"

To ward off evil spirits?

Matsuno was stunned when he heard the name, feeling that something was strange, but before he could think about it, his hand was grabbed by him and shook.

"Are you free now? Can you tell me what kind of world it is over there?"

This man named Jixie is very familiar with him and has already asked Matsuno to tell him stories.

However, Matsuno looked around, looked up at the hotel's camera, and hesitated a little.

This doesn't seem like a place to talk.

Jiuxie also saw his difficulty, and then directly pulled his wrist to take him away.

"Let's take a walk. There is a tea room next to the business negotiation room over there. Let's talk about it in detail there."

The two of them walked quickly to the elevator, and Matsuno also remembered where he had heard the word "evil evil" somewhere recently.

It seems that when they were in the car before, Long Yueze told him that the images of Pixiu on the market now are all made to ward off evil spirits?

In other words, the long-haired old man in front of him is also a non-human being.

Thinking of this, Matsuno's eyes suddenly looked different when he looked at Jixie.

Are there so many inhuman beings these days?How can we encounter so many people in a small place like Qincheng?

Before Matsuno could think about it, he was pulled into the tea room and pressed directly onto his seat by Jiuxie. As soon as he sat down, a paper cup filled with tea was pushed in front of him.

He looked at Jiuxie who was ready at the speed of light with some astonishment. What happened to this guy? Why was he so skilled at taking care of people?

Doesn't he run a confinement center?

Seeing Matsuno's gaze, Ji Xie showed an urging expression "Hurry up and tell a story."

Matsuno organized his words: "What do you want to hear about?"

The main thing was what he wanted to talk about. It was too sudden. Matsuno himself had no clue, so he simply asked the other party what he wanted to hear.

"Is the world you discovered peaceful?"

"Are there monsters that cause trouble in all directions? Man-eating monsters? Or are they disasters caused by them?"

Matsuno frowned and thought for a while. He didn't know about these things in detail, but if he really encountered them, he would hear the relevant information on the road even if he didn't go out to understand them.

Especially on his way to the Shuijing City Commercial Building, he was living and working in peace and contentment. He even saw tourists sunbathing on the beach...probably there was no such situation.

Matsuno shook his head.

Jixie looked a little disappointed, but he still cheered up and continued to ask him: "Are there any evil organizations, including human ones, that need to use the power of divine beasts to eradicate evil?"

Hearing what he said, Zong also looked at Jixie again without any trace.

Previously, because his face resembled that of Kojiro, his attention was focused on the other person's face and long hair. When he looked again this time, he discovered that the other person's hairstyle and temperament made him look more like a Taoist priest.

Is he the kind of Taoist priest who eliminates violence and brings peace to good people?

"That's true." After Matsuno thought for a moment, he told him categorically: "There are ruthless bandits over there. I've even encountered them myself."

As soon as he heard the word "violent bandit", Jixie immediately froze. He sat upright and leaned forward slightly: "Please tell me in detail."

"There is an organization over there called 'Team Rocket', they call themselves gangsters... villains or something."

"When I went there, they robbed the institute. Not only did they take away all the treasures and small animals in the institute, they also ripped off the roofs of other people's houses."

Jixie's expression was a bit shocked: "Even lifting the roof? Is he so vicious?"

Whether before he fell asleep or after he woke up, he was walking around the world. He upholds the principle of eliminating harm for the people and eradicating violence. He plays a chivalrous and righteous person who draws his sword to help when there is injustice on the road, but...

He has never seen that kind of ruthless gangster who can lift off the roof of a house!

Hearing this, Jixie's eyes ignited. You must know that since he woke up, the earth world he returned to is too peaceful. Even if he helps deal with the Yaobian Tianmu domain, he is not as happy as being a hero.

"When you are free, report it to the Security Department quickly and arrange for me to be included." When he said this, he lifted the corner of his clothes and revealed the sword box inside, which contained a mahogany sword:

"Don't worry, I'm also very good at fighting - this wooden sword of mine can sense the presence of evil. That's when I appeared."

"I am a staunchly decent character!"

When Jixie said this, his expression and face unexpectedly looked exactly the same as when Kojiro said, "Here is a charming villain."

But just as he finished speaking, the light-colored mahogany sword inside his sword box was turning black inch by inch...
