"In short, that's how it happened......"

Xiao Jie wanted to ease the atmosphere with a few sounds as usual, but unfortunately the silver-haired young man opposite was too terrifying, so he only put on an embarrassed smile in the end.

When they entered the door, it was just in time for lunch at the Pokémon Center, so Xiaotian ate with everyone first. However, the four members of the expedition team unanimously felt that it was better not to eat this unflavored meal.

Especially Xiaojie, after recalling what he had done...... He just wanted to get under the table right away.

Seeing that Xiao Tian is actually good-tempered, he was yelled at with inexplicable words, and he was covered in ash by the wings of the four Pokémon, and he didn't go on the spot and beat the guys who flew away.

After silently settling the lunch, Xiao Jie didn't need Xiao Tian to remind him anymore, and consciously explained everything that had happened so far - although he had decided to temporarily hide it to prevent the "nightmare infection", but if he still concealed it now, Xiao Jie felt that he might be strangled to death by the iceberg boy before being killed by the nightmare.

Xiao Tian seemed to listen to Xiao Jie's narration very calmly, and nodded, "I understand." So, that's why you're deliberately hiding it?"

The card with the blurred mask pattern swirled around a few times in Xiao Tian's hand, and was gently thrown back to the table. The slight collision caused the two golden retrievers to shake in unison, and at once they threw themselves to the ground - well, now they could only lie on the table - and shouted in unison, "I'm sorry we were wrong!"

Xiao Tian was really shocked by this fresh apology posture, and his anger was scared. Looking to the side, even the four-year-old Kiritha had the expression of a schoolboy who had done something wrong, making the people around him think that Xiaotian was a bully, and they all cast a look of condemnation or dissatisfaction, and they almost rushed out to see the righteousness and bravery.

"Alright. Xiao Tian wordlessly took off the heads of the two golden retrievers from the table, and motioned to Xiao Jie and Xiao Ling not to continue to lie there and be embarrassed, "I don't think there is a need to hide this kind of thing, can't you also learn from Xiao Ye?"

What, what does it mean to learn from me?

Xiao Ye, who has been silent and acts as a transparent person, suddenly became a conch.

Xiao Ling thought about it, but in the end, she was still embarrassed to really echo the sentence "Yes, it's all Xiao Ye's fault", and instead scratched her head in frustration, "I'm sorry...... Actually, we didn't mean to avoid you, we didn't expect things to be so troublesome before, and we thought it would be solved soon. ”

"Well, I know. It's okay. The silver-haired boy nodded, his tone surprisingly calm, as if he really didn't mind that he was the only one in the dark.

After understanding the whole process, Xiao Tian could see that this incident was only a small fight before today. Nightmares can be troubling, but it's not uncommon for trainers to be teased by Pokémon like the Dream Demon while sleeping in the wild, and that alone isn't enough to call for help.

Until today, I first took the train that should not exist, experienced the scene of suspected death, and saw a strange mask looming on the face of the person - according to Xiaojie, the mask actually shed blood and tears when it was attached to his face. A series of encounters made the nature of the matter take a turn for the worse, so that everyone didn't have time to tell him the details.

"So, let's start the battle meeting next, right?" Seeing that the young guys finally put the contradiction aside, Kiripa also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and talked about business with a smile, "The next action has not been decided yet." ”

"yes. There are so many things we don't understand, and sure enough, we still need to go to the subway station again. Xiaojie looked reluctant, obviously not wanting to repeat the experience of near-death.

"I have an idea about what you described in the subway station. Xiao Tian said, glanced at the paulownia next to him, and sure enough, he saw the same meaning from those forest-colored eyes.

"Let's do it......"

June 15, five a.m.

In the dimly lit room, four young trainers stood up at the same time in a dying and sick state, and Xiao Ling even crashed into the mobile phone on the bedside table in a fit of excitement.

There was a heart-rending tinkling sound from a cell phone rolling into a ball on the floor, and the screen may have been heroically sacrificed. The four of them looked at each other silently in this lively movement, and their eyes were full of grief.

And headaches, the physical kind.

Xinghai, who was awakened, opened his eyes blankly, looked at the gray sky outside the window, and looked at the four children sitting in unison, and asked hesitantly, "You ...... What are you doing?"

Xiao Jie and Xiao Ling said almost without thinking: "It's good to go to bed early and get up early." ”

The other two were only stuck for a second, and they immediately said in unison, "The two of them are right. ”

Xinghai: "......"

The well-informed Mr. Inquisitor, with his unkempt hair, was a little suspicious that he was hallucinating.

Under the suspicious gaze of the silver-haired young man, the four of them finally finished washing and dressing, and finally dared to speak loudly after meeting with Kiriha, who was waiting in the hall, and walking out of the Pokémon Center.

After all, getting up at five o'clock and tossing is really suspected of disturbing the people.

"So, Xiao Tian also had the same dream?" Kiriba frowned worriedly.

Xiao Tian nodded, "The details are basically the same as your previous description. ”

"Sure enough, cards and stamps are the source of infection? Or ...... Is it an urban legend in itself?" "Xiaojie was made creepy by his own brain supplement - is this an urban legend or a fierce plague?

"If we still don't find anything today, let's burn all the cards and stamps, maybe it will be of some use. Xiao Ling held her head bitterly, "My head hurts, if we continue like this, we will all retire early...... Did the guy who made us dream secretly smash walnuts with our heads?"

“...... Burst. ”

Although the person complained sincerely, her fellow refugees couldn't help but laugh out loud because of her words. The golden retriever girl suddenly became even more frustrated, "I'm not kidding! Now if you ask me how to deal with evil Pokémon, maybe I'll answer you with telekinesis." ”

"I know, I know, it's not impossible to move stones and smash them with mental power. Xiaojie patted his sister's shoulder comfortingly.

When a group of people laughed bitterly, Xiao Tian, who was not bothered by the headache for the time being, failed to laugh at all, but frowned even tighter, "If today's action fails, I will tell my father about this and ask for his help." ”

"Oh, it would be great if Mr. Xinghai was willing to help, the masked monster is definitely not Mr. Xinghai's opponent!"

The golden furred brother and sister immediately became happy when they heard this, but Xiao Ye and Kiripa were not happy immediately, and they seemed a little hesitant. As if reading what they were thinking in advance, Xiao Tian then said, "Don't be afraid of trouble, my father likes to be troubled." ”

The straightforward evaluation from his son suddenly choked the two people who were more polite and couldn't speak. It's understandable that I don't mind being troubled, but I like to be troubled...... Is this a necessary professional quality for a search officer?

Xiaotian: "If you are in trouble and you don't let him help, he will be angry." ”

Sayo: "......"

Kiriba: "......"

It's too professional, and I'm convinced.

At half past six in the morning, five people stood on time at the terminal of the Hibiya Line, next to the platform of H18 Minamisenju.

The subway station at this time has always been very quiet. The young trainers stood there as if they were afraid of disturbing the stagnant air, as if they were sculptural.

The familiar sound of wheels rubbing against the tracks rang out again. It was as if a black-and-white train from another world swept in the smell of decay, stopped by the platform, and squeaked open its doors.

The expedition team exchanged a look with each other. As Xiao Tian made the agreed gesture, several voices sounded at the same time.

"Spiritually strong!"

A blue glow fell from the sky with a humming sound, creating a hurricane centered on the trainers. Xiao Jie, who squinted his eyes, vaguely saw that the old black-and-white train was cracking inch by inch - no, no, it wasn't just the train that was broken.

It's the whole world.

Like the fragments of a kaleidoscope, the scene in front of me was distorted to the extreme and exploded, revealing the real appearance of the obscured - the front of the platform was empty, where was the shadow of a black and white train?

"Sure enough, it's a hallucination. Xiao Tian looked at the figures fleeing in panic at the end of the tunnel and whispered.

Whether it's an old black-and-white train or a man-eating monster, it's not something that's supposed to be in this subway station. Compared to the original puppeteer's magical powers, which can cause incredible anomalies in the underground of Mihara City, "hallucination" is a more likely answer - and the ghosts and dream demons who accidentally revealed their bodies after the illusion shattered also illustrate this point.

A few Pokémon that had been quietly hovering on the roof for a long time also fell down and returned to the trainers. Maya's Ghost Stone, Jay's Casey and Metal Monster, Rei's Yukira, and Kiripaba's Ba Da Butterfly - these five Pokémon who have mastered the Psychic Mind move are the key to their use to deal with illusions. If the black-and-white train is the beginning of the illusion, then the best time to fight back is before stepping into the train. Both human spirits and ghost-type Pokémon can disappear, but in order to cast illusions, they must be nearby, and the spiritual thoughts released indiscriminately into their surroundings will inevitably affect them, making them unable to maintain the illusion anymore.

"Ahh Xiao Ling hung her head in frustration.

"Not only was it taken down, but fortunately, I didn't expect it to be an illusion for a long time, and it was even more embarrassing......" Xiaojie simply bent forward in frustration.

Xiao Tian and Kiriha, whose IQs are online all the way, gave each other a brisk look. As for Saya...... Although it was guessed as early as when the waveguide detection failed, this could be an illusion - the illusion will directly act on the five senses of the person, but it cannot simulate the means of perception other than the five senses - but he has never had a chance to say it. Before she confesses to Kiritha that she is the Wave Guide Messenger, the dancing mask and the angry Koten, who disrupts their battle meeting one after another, and Sayo silently holds back the words full of words like a conch.

"Even though it was a ghost-type Pokémon in the subway station that performed the illusion, I always felt that it had something to do with the masked magician. Xiao Jie looked in the direction of the ghosts and mused.

"I feel the same way. Kiriha nodded, "It's true that we only fell for the illusion at half past six in the morning, and there are frequent masked monsters in our dreams, and even Mr. Kamen Magician's soul may be nearby just now—do you remember the phone ringing when we walked into the train yesterday? Mr. Kamen Magician's biography says that he was about to answer a phone call when he had an accident, so he was distracted and couldn't avoid the runaway truck that hit him on the other side. The bell we hear may be a fragment of his memories before he died. ”

Xiao Ling also agreed: "Indeed, if you stay in the world, you will gradually lose a lot of memories, and only the most unforgettable content will not be lost, such as the scene of death. And if, as we guessed, Mr. Kamen Magician was an illusion-type superpower during his lifetime......"

"The hallucination is constructed based on the illusionist's memories, and it is normal to have the most impressive information mixed in with the hallucinations inflicted by his soul. Xiao Ye finished Xiao Ling's speculation and looked into the depths of the tunnel, "As for why we see these hallucinations, I think as long as we keep moving forward, we will know." ”

In other words, the results of the waveguide detection have actually conveyed the answer to the waveguide messenger girl-

The five of them jumped off the platform with agility and continued further along the subway tracks. There were no stations ahead, and it was supposed to be an area where the subway turned around and re-entered the platform, but a fork in the road occurred. They chose the more dilapidated path, with no light source in the dimly dim abandoned tunnel, and could only rely on Pokémon's flash moves to illuminate it, and when they finally reached the end of the road, everyone looked stunned.

Between the staggered cracks and rubble, the faint red glow stood out more than anything else.

Those who have followed the news will be familiar with what it looks like -

It was the most powerful bomb used by the criminals in the recent Mihara bombing case.
