The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

"Reporting to the Director, we have followed your orders, sealed off and taken control of the entire Community Habitat Company's research institute. All personnel inside are under our control and are currently being interrogated."

Among them, Director Jedo, his assistant Karen, and four other researchers were absent.

"Yes, those six people must be in the Okoya Forest."

How did the interrogation go? Did they get anything out of us?

"Yes, some of them confessed that when they were doing their research, the only room they were absolutely not allowed to enter was the doctor's room, because Jedo hated it when others entered his room."

"Hmph, they won't let us in? I bet it's because there's some unspeakable secret hidden inside," Xiao Zhi sneered.

"The Director is truly a genius; he guessed it right away."

After we broke down the door, we found the following files on Jedo's computer:

Research on the Healing Fountain seems to have been halted about ten years ago, apparently due to some kind of accident.

The relevant details can only be found on Jedo's computer.

We found a video recording from ten years ago inside.

"Ten years ago! Send it to me quickly."

"Yes."

Ten years ago, that was right when Coco was born!

Moreover, to be able to halt the research, one must have sufficient authority, and it was most likely Coco's parents who made the decision, since Jedo had previously mentioned that Coco's father was the former director of the research institute.

This caught Ash's attention. When he saw that the video had been sent, he immediately clicked to watch it and found that it was a video of Jedo talking to himself.

"The Healing Fountain project has been suspended."

Since we possess that healing power, we could clearly save many people.

For some crappy Pokémon?

His decision was absolutely wrong.

If I were the director, I could better lead everyone in the research, and my idea would be correct.

I need to obtain that power to prove that my ideas are correct.

"That's it, all we need to do is make the Mowrigands disappear."

As he spoke, Jedo's face was filled with a variety of emotions, including resentment, anger, jealousy, and madness.

Every now and then he would roar, throw things, and stomp his feet.

It is quite clear that Jedo is very unhappy with the decision to suspend the research.

The last sentence reveals that Jedo was the murderer who killed Coco's parents.

He was dissatisfied with Coco's parents for pausing their research, so he killed them and replaced Coco's father as the new director of the research institute to continue the research.

What left Xiaozhi speechless was that what kind of bad guy would record his plot and save it on his computer?

Isn't this equivalent to a criminal writing down their methods and motives in a diary and keeping it at home before committing the crime?

Who keeps a diary if they're a decent person?

You're afraid the police won't have enough evidence to accuse you, Jedo, of being the murderer, right?

Xiao Zhi instructed his subordinates to keep the video safe, as it was crucial evidence. He also ordered them to remain at the research institute to investigate and interrogate relevant personnel, and to contact Officer Jenny to have her bring people over.

He then quickened his pace and hurried toward the sacred tree.

Meanwhile, the Sarud who were staying on the sacred tree were also attracted by this huge commotion and gathered together on their own.

"Elder, what is that?"

“Go and take a look,” Elder Sarud said.

"Yes, let's go."

The strongest Zarude responded and led the other two Zarude away from the sacred tree to check on the situation.

A few minutes later, they arrived near Jedo's giant robot. The sight of the Pokémon scattering and fleeing, the trees collapsing, and the giant robot constantly approaching the Divine Tree shocked the Zarude.

What they didn't expect was that Abba Sarud had also come here.

“What’s going on?” asked the strongest Zarude.

“I’d like to know that too,” Abba Sarud said, shrugging.

“There’s no mistake, they’re definitely after the sacred tree. Go and tell the elders what’s going on here.” The strongest Zarude turned to his two companions and said.

"how about you?"

“I’ll hold these guys off,” replied the strongest of the Zarude.

"I see."

After saying this, the two Zarude companions immediately returned to the sacred tree to report to the elders and their companions, while the strongest Zarude and Abba Zarude stayed behind.

“Let’s see how things go. It’s been a long time since we’ve fought side by side,” said the strongest of the Zarude.

“Do you need to tell me? If we don’t fight, our homeland will be gone,” said Abba Sarud.

But when the two of them rushed to the giant robot, they saw Coco being held tightly by one of the robot's hands, unable to escape no matter how much she struggled.

"Coco!" Abba Sarud exclaimed in surprise.

Upon seeing its son captured, it rushed forward desperately to save him, whipping its vine whip at Jedo on the aircraft.

"Stop them!"

Jedo shouted, and the robot's pilot immediately maneuvered the robot, swinging out its other pincer to block Jedo's path, causing Abba Sarud's vine whip to entangle one of the robot's hands.

Abba Sarud intended to rush over and rescue Coco, but unexpectedly, the robot pulled his vine whip, sending him flying and crashing heavily into the left side of one of the research vehicles.

The violent impact immediately caused panic among the people inside the car, including Jialian and four other researchers.

Karen immediately looked out the car window and saw that the vehicle that had crashed into her car was a Zarude, and that another Zarude was fighting with her robot.

"what happened?"

"It's a Pokémon."

"They're attacking."

Why are they attacking us?

"how could I know."

The researchers immediately began to chatter amongst themselves.

If these researchers aren't pretending to be stupid, then they're genuinely dumb.

Not to mention your designs on the Healing Spring and the Divine Tree,

Just the fact that you've knocked down so many trees along the way, turning the once vibrant Okoya Forest into this state, is enough to warrant a sentence of several years for the crime of deliberately destroying nature.

You demolished someone's house, and yet you have the nerve to ask why they attacked you? How can you be so shameless? Don't you have any idea why?

At the same time, Jedo's words also came through the walkie-talkies they were carrying.

"You all stay in the car and don't get out."
