Chapter 228: Preparation
"Hey, Takumi, ignore me?!"
The girl called out angrily to let Takumi recover from his contemplation, and secretly asked the Gotha duck to fix the little Lada through a spiritual link, Takumi restrained all his doubts and looked back at Kiyoko with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I was distracted for a while."
"But about searching and cleaning up the surrounding dangers, Ah Shi told me a lot today. If you want to know, I can tell you before dinner......
With a flick of the ponytail, Kiyoko sat down with her head held high, almost writing the words 'this is right' on her face.
Smiling, Takumi pretended not to know anything, and began to tell Kiyoko about today's experience, saying some funny words from time to time, which made Kiyoko's perception of Takumi very good.
However, if Qingzi knew that when Takumi was talking to her, part of his attention had been on the little Lada, who had been forcibly pressed in front of Takumi by Gotha Duck with his telekinesis, I was afraid that he would turn his head in anger and leave......
However, in the face of a girl who is less than sixteen years old, and it seems that she is still a girl who has not experienced much, Takumi still hides her small actions very well.
It wasn't until he saw the girl who had been sitting beside him for twenty minutes leave, that Takumi turned back with a smile.
It's just that the moment he turned his head, the smile on Takumi's face disappeared, and he looked at this little Lada who could be kept as a pet with an expressionless face, and there was a slight hint of exploration in the depths of his eyes.
Even if he only dedicates a small part of his energy to pay attention to this little Lada, Takumi knows in his heart that every time he looks at it with his peripheral eyes when he chats with Kiyoko, this little Lada, who doesn't know how to hide his emotions, shows almost all of his thoughts on his face.
Stunned, looking, affirming, struggling to leave, until finally exhausted his strength, lying on the ground weakly, his eyes still showing an anxious look.
If in the face of such a small Lada, Takumi can't see that it has secrets, then there is no need to continue to be a trainer......
Standing up slightly from the stump, Takumi squatted in front of the little Lada, who was paralyzed on all fours, and asked lightly.
"Do you know that human girl just now?"
Hearing Takumi's words, Little Lada's whole body trembled, and it was trying to break free from Gotha Duck's telekinesis.
But as the Gotha duck glanced at it, stretched out a paw glowing with blue light and pressed it lightly in the air, and the strength of little Lada dissipated, and he lay on the ground as if he had broken a bone.
"Let me ask again, do you know that human girl just now?"
Looking at the human with a 'malicious' smile in front of him, Little Rada, who knew that he had no way to escape, blinked his eyes and screamed in a low voice.
"Little Lada~"
Seeing that the things that had been tangled for two days had finally made progress, Takumi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, grinning and continuing to ask.
"I asked, you answered, understand?"
After seeing Little Lada blink his eyes again, Takumi also calmed down, and the spiritual link was activated.
It may be difficult for most trainers to communicate directly with Pokémon, but for Takumi, it is not too difficult, but it is still an intermediate-level 'spirit link' that requires Takumi to ask a few more times to figure out the specific meaning of Pokémon.
Under continuous questioning, Takumi finally got the news he wanted from this little Lada.
"You're saying that Kiyoko, the human girl just now, is in your mind's head? And you haven't seen her before at all?! ”
After receiving confirmation from Little Lada's wink, Takumi pondered for a moment, narrowed his eyes and asked Little Lada.
"So...... Tell me, what are you going to do just after confirming that Kiyoko is the person you have in mind? ”
"Escape...... Look for...... Chieftain...... Tell it ......"
The truth is in front of him, and Takumi is now sixty percent sure that the key to his mission this time is the 'leader' that Xiao Rada said!
Although there is no way to know for sure whether this 'boss' is a human or a Pokémon, it is not clear why he asked this little Lada to look for Kiyoko, and it is not known why this little Lada has Kiyoko's appearance in mind.
But!
None of this is important in Takumi's eyes.
With a devilish whisper, Takumi's voice sounded in Little Radha's mind again.
"Tell me where your 'chief' is, or take me to find him!"
"As long as you promise this, I will not only let you go, but I will also prepare food for you every day, and even help you evolve!"
With yearning in his eyes, in the face of such lucrative conditions, Little Lada agreed in his heart without thinking about it.
Boom!
It's just that when Little Lada's mouth just opened and the words in his heart were not spoken, Takumi, who was connected to Little Lada's spirit, felt a pain in his brain, and his whole body swayed and fell backwards.
With his hands behind his back, he tried to support his body, but he didn't grasp the center of gravity of his body and sat on the ground with his buttocks.
Ignoring the stuffy head at this time, Tuo Haiqiang cheered himself up, opened his eyes and looked at the direction of Xiao Lada, but found that Xiao Lada was oozing blood in his eyes, ears, arms and mouth at this time, lying on the ground motionless.
Glancing at the Gotha Duck, who was also surprised, Takumi was extremely depressed, and hammered the ground with his right hand!
Barely tidying up his mood, Tuohai felt a slight chill under his nose at this time, and when he touched his left hand, the blood stains were wiped on the back of his hand, which made Tuohai frown.
After finding a little tissue to plug his nostrils as a way to stop the bleeding, Takumi dragged his somewhat stuffy head, and after informing Aoki of his physical discomfort, he walked directly into a wooden house arranged by Aoki.
After laying out the quilt, Takumi lay on the bed rubbing his temples, his face gloomy and terrifying.
"Yo ......"
Jumping on the bed gently, Rokuo gently licked Takumi's cheek with his little tongue, and Gotha Duck simply sat directly on the edge of the bed, waiting to take the initiative to act as a guard.
When he opened his eyes and saw this scene, Takumi's mood was slightly better.
Although his head is stuffy, after adjusting some of his mentality, Takumi can also carry out some thinking.
"Obviously, the part of me that connected with the little Rada has been mentally damaged, but judging from the current state of being just mentally stuffy, the damage should not be large, and it will probably be about the same after two days of rest......"
Thinking of the bleeding appearance of the little Lada's seven orifices, Takumi made a judgment.
"The attack was supposed to have erupted in the little Lada's brain, but it just so happened that I was in a spiritual connection with it, so it was affected ......"
"What is this? Kill rats and kill mouths? ”
Smiling bitterly, Takumi was more interested in the 'chieftain' that Little Rada said.
"It can hurt my spirit, and I don't feel resentment or anything like that, it should be a pure superpower attack."
"Sensing that Little Lada is about to reveal his location, so the hidden hand buried in advance erupts?"
"Now, is he aware of the situation here?"
Rubbing the fluff on the top of the six tails' head dotingly, Takumi's eyes looked out of the window, his eyes were gloomy.
And in the forest, which was less than two hundred meters away in a straight line from the outskirts of the village, a little Lada, who was hiding in a tree hole and munching on chestnuts, suddenly trembled, and his eyes were puzzled at first, and he quickly became panicked, and ran out of the tree hole quickly, and burrowed into a low bush in the forest, leaving the half-bitten chestnut......
……
As soon as he woke up, Takumi, who walked out of the house with his head covered, saw Kiyoko with a depressed face.
Looking at the villagers who were already busy, Takumi, who had not seen the trainer, probably knew the current situation.
Obviously, he and Kiyoko became the two trainers left behind in the village today.
Releasing the pangolin and Abby Lang to help the villagers carry and dig, Takumi thought for a moment, and then walked towards Kiyoko who waved at him with a serious face.
"Huh? You said you had a hunch that we were in danger? ”
"I'm in a bad mood right now, but you're not going to tease me with a child, are you? You're younger than me! ”
Looking at Qingzi, who was standing in front of him with his hands around and supporting two small steamed buns because of his excitement, Takumi, who was much clearer when he felt it, shook his head, his eyes were still serious.
Takumi didn't know if the death of the little Lada had delayed the spread of some kind of information about Kiyoko, or if it had already alarmed the snake.
In the event of uncertainty, there is nothing wrong with preparing for the worst.
Then, in the absence of concrete evidence, pretending to be a ghost is undoubtedly a good way to quickly arouse everyone's vigilance and increase the credibility of your own words.
Under Takumi's calm gaze, Qingzi, who was originally menacing, lowered his momentum inexplicably, swallowed his saliva, and asked in a low voice.
"You're not kidding?"
"I don't think I'm going to play a prank on this kind of thing."
Faced with Takumi's answer, Kiyoko asked a question that Takumi was ready to deal with.
"How can you prove that what you say is right? If there is no evidence, who will believe you......"
Shrugging his shoulders, Takumi said helplessly.
"There is no evidence."
"You don't feel the danger that I felt when I walked into this mountain, and you can't see the picture I wanted to see yesterday when I was injured."
"I, a superpowered person with mediocre abilities, is really helpless to prove this kind of thing......"
"Superpowers?!"
Seeing Qingzi's mouth slightly open and the appearance of successfully entering the body, Takumi was also happy in his heart, if the only thing in his body that was different from ordinary trainers now was probably the 'spiritual link'.
If you want to pretend to be a ghost, you can only seize this point and fool these Qingzi trainers......
"Yes, from ancient times to the present, those who have the ability to prophecy are actually superpowers......"
Saying one thing without changing his face, Takumi, who succeeded in convincing Kiyoko that the 'prophet' is equal to the 'superpower', said suddenly.
"Qingzi, you are relaxed, I will give you the proof that I am a superpower!"
When Takumi's voice sounded in Kiyoko's mind, Takumi, whose lips did not open and close, successfully proved his identity as a 'superpower', and by the way, Kiyoko really paid attention to what he said at the beginning.
……
Stretching out his hand to stop Kiyoko, who wanted to tell the villagers immediately, looking at this little white flower, Takumi couldn't help but shake his head.
I'm afraid I've always been protected by Aoki before, and I don't have so much knowledge and experience to let her handle things properly.
"Go and tell them now, will they believe it?"
"They took the risk to come here in order to get a piece of their own industry in this mountain, and through the hands of us trainers, in this pine algae mountain rich in medicinal herbs, they will give themselves and future generations a chance to change their fate!"
"Do you think they'll agree with my unsubstantiated premonition?"
"Even, even if the danger does come, they probably won't leave......"
Eyes swept around the village, under the command of Mr. Saito, sweating but persistent everyone, Takumi gently tugged Kiyoko's sleeve, and the girl stopped insisting and sat next to Takumi.
"So what to do?"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, knowing that Kiyoko subconsciously relied on himself in the absence of Aoki, Takumi naturally continued to maintain his reliable side.
"Wait!"
"I'll tell him about it when Captain Aoki comes back."
"Whether he believes me or not, as long as he can make arrangements in advance as the captain, when danger comes, the situation of our team will be much better!"
As for whether he can make Aoki trust him, Takumi has no bottom in his heart.
Aoki is not Kiyoko, a girl who is more innocent than real in her mind, and she can twist a team of eighty people and the remaining seven trainers into a rope, and her ability and wrist are not bad at all.
However, Takumi is confident, even if Aoki doesn't believe in his so-called 'prophet' identity for a while, it will make the entire team more vigilant.
And this reason is nothing else, it is Kiyoko who is restless at this time!
Takumi knew from that little Rada that the target of its 'leader' was the girl in front of him!
Even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, Aoki, who is worried that his sister is being targeted by danger, will raise the vigilance of the entire team.
And when the situation really happens, Takumi's prediction will turn from uncertainty to reality, and the identity of this 'prophet' will also be confirmed.
Takumi, who can sense the danger, will naturally have a higher status in the team, and in addition to bringing Takumi more right to speak, he will also be protected to a certain extent!
These two things are what Takumi has always wanted to get in the team since he entered this mission world.
The first time he carried out a C-level difficulty mission, even with the powerful combat power of Gotha Duck, Takumi also wanted to make his safety factor higher!
In the midst of anxious work and waiting, Takumi and Kiyoko finally wait for Aoki's return.
With a serious face, Aoki was taken to a wooden house, and outsiders did not know what the two had talked about, only that Aoki, who had been in the wooden house for half an hour, had given two somewhat conservative orders at dinner.
First, build fences and set up sentry posts;
Second, the trainers split into four teams to eliminate potential dangers, and instead of clearing the wild Pokémon population around the village, they will be expelled!
Takumi, who silently stuffed rice balls in his mouth, glanced at the dark mountains and forests, and there was no fear or excitement in his eyes, just the calm of this Songzao Mountain.
"It's your turn......"
