Chapter 66: The Choice (3/3)
Eikai asked such a question, but Aoki didn't expect that in his impression, Ei has always been the kind of person who is very efficient and doesn't waste time on small talk.
"It's modified today?" Aoki thought silently in his heart.
His face remained silent, nodded honestly, and replied, "Curious, but if the adults don't say it, the subordinates won't ask." ”
For Shadow, Aoki has always maintained enough respect, not because he is a high-level cadre in Team Rocket and the deputy leader of the Shadow Group, but because of his king-level strength.
The strong are always easy to be respected by others, and what Aoki has always believed in is the mentality that the strong eat the strong, and the strong are kings, so Ei, as a genuine king-level powerhouse, has enough respect.
Hearing Aoki's words, Kage was obviously stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Haha, you're really good." ”
From the first time we met to now, I have said that it is good so many times, and Aoki does not understand what it means to say that it is good.
When the first good appeared, he understood, and when the second appeared, he thought about it and understood, but when the third and fourth came out, Aoki seemed to finally understand, what Shadow said was good, and the meaning was far from as simple as he thought.
After laughing, the smile on his face gradually subsided, and he said, "He was seriously injured in a battle to protect me, and I know that there is a place on the Trial Island that can quickly recover from his injuries, and that is the gathering place of the ghosts you went to. ”
His eyes gradually blurred, as if he was recalling something, "That's what I found out when I first visited this trial island. Oh yes, I'm one of the first tryouts on Team Rocket. ”
Hearing Ei's words, Aoki was stunned, the first batch of trialists? Shadow also walked out of this trial island?
As if reading Aoki's eyes, Shadow continued, "That's what you think, at that time, the entire Trial Island had just discovered that there were only two of our first batch of trialists who survived in the end, and I was one of them, and maybe you might be able to meet it when you had a chance in the future." ”
Although Shadow didn't say who the other was, Aoki probably guessed that it should be another deputy leader of the Shadow Group, Dark!
"Speaking of which, going back to the gathering place of ghosts, you must have also seen the stone pillar that is constantly bubbling with ghost energy, right?" Shadow shifted the conversation back from his past.
"The water is a bit deep, and it's not suitable for you to touch it right now, but luckily you didn't want to go deeper, otherwise you probably wouldn't be here today." He continued to take care of himself, "As long as you know, there are not many people in that place who know, and you also need to control your mouth, and when you reach the strength, you will naturally know." ”
Aoki's eyes narrowed slightly, then he regained his original expression and nodded, "Yes." ”
For that stone pillar, Aoki didn't think about exploring it now, after all, a strong person like Lianying didn't directly destroy it, but chose to keep such a magical place.
Shadow shook his head, although Aoki's face was respectful and his answer was crisp, but he still saw the strange look in Aoki's eyes at first glance.
Without going into this topic for too long, he continued, "You have now passed my first test, and you are qualified to know who I am on Team Rocket. ”
Aoki's heart moved, he had known Ei's true identity for a long time, but he couldn't reveal it.
After all, even in Team Rocket, if the strength is not enough, it is not qualified to know the existence of the Shadow.
"Take out the medal I gave you last time." Shadow directly asked him to take out the black cloud medal that he gave to Aoki last time.
From Team Rocket's belt space, he took out a pitch-black cloud-shaped medallion and handed it to him.
Taking the medal from Aoki's hand, Shadow rubbed the lines on the medal and continued, "This medal represents the most mysterious department in Team Rocket, the Shadow Reserve Member Medal, the moment you accept the medal, it means that the Shadow's test for you has begun, and the task you helped me complete before is the first step of this test." ”
There was no pause this time, and Ei continued to explain, "My name is Ei, you already know it. I'm the deputy leader of the Shadow Group, as long as you can pass a series of tasks assigned by me, you can join us, although I can't tell you what the benefits of joining are or what responsibilities you need to bear, but I can tell you that there are many people in Team Rocket who want to enter with their heads squeezed, and even those who are not strong enough do not know about our existence. ”
"Now you have a chance to choose whether to continue accepting the mission until you join us, or abandon the mission and continue to try in the Trial Island, starting with a Team Rocket crep or squad leader, and working your way up the ladder." Shadow gives Aoki an unbalanced multiple-choice question.
Hearing Shadow's words, in fact, Aoki had already made a decision, and there was no conflict between joining Shadow and him climbing high in Team Rocket, and even with the help of Shadow, it was much easier.
But in order not to let the shadow see the clues, Aoki still lowered his head and pretended to think.
Shadow doesn't doubt him, after all, there are too many things about the Shadow Organization, and he can't reveal too much now, so he can only watch Aoki's intuitive choice.
"I choose to continue the mission."
After a slight groan, Aoki said firmly, there was nothing to hesitate about the decision he had made a long time ago.
Hearing Aoki's answer, Shadow smiled, "You'll be glad about your decision in the future." ”
Aoki nodded, not answering.
There were some things that were hard to say and couldn't say, but he knew he had made the right decision.
At this moment, a "buzzing" sound suddenly sounded in this room from far and near, from weak to strong.
Aoki was a little surprised to hear this familiar voice.
A large needle bee slowly emerged from the corner and flew to Shadow's side, rubbing Shadow's arm affectionately with its two needles.
"This is ......" Aoki's expression turned to surprise when he saw the big needle bee.
If I was right, it would have been at that time......
"That's right, this kid hatched from the elven egg I got from you last time." Shadow smiled and said the guess in Aoki's heart.
And so it was.
Aoki was stunned, but then showed a puzzled look.
Even if the growth cycle as a zerg is short, but in this short week, the time to hatch and evolve into a large needle bee is too short.
Touching the triangular head of the big needle bee, Kage saw Aoki's doubts, and said, "This kid has good talent, and he trains very actively every day, and the big needle bee that has just evolved today." ”
