Wanlong's Letter

At this moment, Mary came out of the kitchen and saw that there was a Gengar in the room. Wei Xin was sitting on the sofa, and Mimikyu was standing on Wei Xin's knees with a gloomy face and a slightly trembling body. If Wei Xin hadn't stopped her, she probably would have rushed up and fought Gengar to the death.

"What happened? Is that a wild Gengar?" Mary asked.

"No, it's Wanlong's Gengar, one of the Unova Elite Four, and also my editor," Wei Xin said.

With Wanlong's whereabouts currently unknown, Gengar's appearance here is clearly purposeful.

I was just killing time, so I came over to cosplay as a dentist and give me a dental checkup.

My teeth don't grow on the outside either.

"Wanlong? Ah, the one from last time." As a trainer, Marie naturally knew about the Elite Four from other regions, but last time they met, her gaze was drawn to something else, and she didn't see the other person's face clearly.

"Gengar, did Wanlong send you?" Wei Xin asked.

Judging from Gengar's reaction, Wanlong should be alright. Nothing is more reassuring than having an Elite Four-level ally on our side.

If so, then add another champion.

Pokémon Hunter J, go and take down the Sinnoh Champion and the Unova Ghost Elite Four.

"Gengar!" Hearing this, Gengar seemed to remember something, so it opened its mouth, took out an envelope and a Poké Ball, and handed them to Wei Xin.

After finishing, he looked down at the cookies on the table, very naturally, and popped one into his mouth. His eyes lit up immediately.

Did you just have a Peach Banquet?

Turning his head, he looked at the other Pokémon around him, unmoved by the snacks on the table, and then thought of his trainer, who could be ruthless even to himself.

So, I was the monkey who stumbled into the Peach Banquet?

"What's this?" Wei Xin took the envelope and the Poké Ball. Marie walked behind Wei Xin, bent down, and brought her face very close to his. Normally, she might have blushed with embarrassment, but right now, it was clearly not the time for romance.

I opened the envelope; inside was a message from Wanlong.

"Hey, handsome young man, you called me earlier to ask about Pokémon hunters, right? Unfortunately, for some reason, I can't contact the outside world right now, and I can't take action directly, so I apologize in advance."

Is he being held hostage by Pokémon hunters and monitored, unable to take action?

Wei Xin thought about it and realized that if it were him, he would probably make the same arrangement: without knowing each other's strength, he would first ban the opponent's top carry.

What do you think, prison warden?

Fortunately, although Wanlong was a bit of a joker, she still had a high moral standard and didn't go so far as to confront the Pokémon Hunter and say, "What does your capture of the Eastern Emperor have to do with my Unova Elite Four!"

"That being said, I haven't been idle either. I found some information, including the Sinnoh Champion's contact information and Gengar. I'll lend it to you. As for the rest, it's up to you."

"Oh, by the way, the entire city's surveillance cameras are now being monitored by Pokémon hunters, so be careful to stay hidden when you're on your way."

"Brave young man, go and create miracles."

"She even drew a chibi version of herself." Looking at the chibi version of Wanlong giving herself a thumbs up at the end of the envelope, Wei Xin was both amused and exasperated.

As for the information Wanlong mentioned, one of them was the principle of the Dream Eater's hypnosis technique.

The metal ring carried by the hypnotized person is essentially an amplifier. With the help of the metal ring, the dream-inducing tapir can expand their superpowers throughout the city and thus manipulate the actions of others for a period of time.

Wanlong also tried to dispel hypnosis on others, or get them to throw away the metal rings around them, but he failed. The working principle of hypnosis is too complicated. If it were Cattleya or Naz, they might be able to dispel it, but for a half-baked liberal arts student, this question is obviously beyond the scope of the curriculum.

The same applies to Wei Xin. He had only recently awakened his superpowers and had not received systematic training. He could only use them to enhance Pokémon's skills, and he was not even a rookie in the field of superpowers.

At best, it's an unripe egg, and there's no guarantee it'll be ripe.

You expect a player who can't even type "hello world" to fight against a superman who can slap you across the face via the internet.

It's better to hope that the speaker cricket can beat Arceus.

Moreover, the other side might have countermeasures, and with the city's traffic restrictions, if other superpowered individuals enter the city, it might trigger a counterattack from Pokémon hunters.

There is only one remaining option: deal with the source of the superpowers, eliminate the Hypnos, or wait for the Pokémon hunters to lead the Hypnos out of the Eastern Empire.

Another piece of information is that the Donghuang government has completed negotiations with Pokémon Hunters and agreed to provide them with a spaceship so that they can leave Donghuang territory along a designated route.

Wei Xin believes that the Donghuang Alliance might force Pokémon hunters to leave Donghuang, but it is unlikely that the Donghuang Alliance will actually force Pokémon hunters to leave Donghuang.

You committed a crime in Donghuang and were able to escape, you are this (b). You committed a crime in Donghuang and were able to escape, I am this (p).

"It's tomorrow night, what should we do?" Mary asked.

Pokémon hunters who want to leave the Eastern Empire but don't want to become the most dazzling fireworks in the Eastern Empire's night have only one way: to take hostages of sufficient weight.

"Are we going to walk right into a trap and catch Pokémon hunters off guard?" Mary asked innocently.

Wei Xin turned his head and glanced at Mary.

Your remarks were far more unexpected than your line of thinking.

"We can wear metal rings, act as hostages, follow the Pokémon hunters, and then wait for an opportunity to strike," Mary explained.

So you used the wrong idiom?

Based on your line of thinking, if I were your Donghuang language teacher, I would definitely pick you up at the end of the semester.

If you're worth rescuing, I'll max out your participation score.

What does it mean to only get 59 points even with the highest participation score?

Then repent.

"It's not the right time yet," Wei Xin said. "We can't confirm whether the other side has other methods to determine whether the hostage is under hypnosis."

"What should we do then?" Mary asked. At this moment, the naughty frog pushed open the door and walked to Wei Xin's side.

"So, are there any other reactions from people on the street? Are Officer Jenny, or anyone else wandering around us?"

The wicked frog shook its head.

"What did you make the naughty frog do?" Mary asked.

"I had a freak test whether Pokémon hunters were monitoring civilian communication networks."

"She has this ability?" Mary looked at the naughty frog in surprise.

When did you learn computer science?

The shrew glanced sideways at its trainer and clicked its tongue in disdain.

You look like a robot to me.

During a phone call with his senior, Wei Xin explained the current situation in Shanghai, although he made some rhetorical changes.

This led the senior student to believe that others were lusting after the junior student's good looks and plotting against him. After succeeding, the junior student's mind became twisted, and he decided to make the others in the research center suffer.

However, some of the content might still arouse the suspicion of Pokémon hunters, which is why they asked Croagunk to observe the surrounding environment in order to test whether Pokémon hunters were monitoring civilian communication networks in order to control the transmission of information.

There's no way around it; the margin for error is too low, and everything has to be calculated.

Let's see who dares to say I'm a lazy winner then.

In the end, it was clear that Wei Xin had worried unnecessarily.

The research center sent Mimikyu, and Wanlong sent Gengar and intelligence.

Wei Xin got up, walked to the computer, turned off the campus network that was so slow and choppy that even watching a movie would be monitored in the background, and found Cynthia's contact information.

Everything is ready now, except for the final push.
