After a short period of removals on the street, the haggard Misha, despite the strange woman's opposition to yin and yang, repeatedly invited Merlin to her temporary residence to sit, Merlin, who still had twelve points of concern and uneasiness about this, weighed it and hesitated a few times and resisted, but Misha, who was almost humanoid in almost no human form, finally reluctantly agreed to Misha's invitation.

When the three of them came to a rather magnificent single-door house, sitting in the quaint and old hall, the scene quickly became awkward, and for a while the three of them were silent and looked at each other but did not know how to speak, only Misha and the strange woman frowned from time to time, as if they were communicating with each other.

"Ahem," finally Misha broke the silence and said after coughing a few times, "Look, I forgot to introduce it." She stretched out her thin little hand and pointed at the strange woman, "This is Miss Dong, one of the leaders of the White Ghost Hand......"

Out of politeness, Merlin subconsciously nodded to the strange woman named Winter, but he was thinking quickly in his heart: [White ghost hand? I don't remember that there is such a name in the ghost hand, can it be ......] for the "ghost hand" organization Merlin actually doesn't know much, only know that the ghost hands are composed of independent psychics who are not affiliated with the religious system, they are either out of good intentions to resentful spirits or out of malice to drive evil ghosts or out of greed to do whatever they want, is a group of weird guys who don't know their position, plus they are mixed with those strange ghosts all day long, so Merlin subconsciously respects them.

"This is Merlin-kun," Misha began to introduce Merlin to Winter again, "He is an excellent trainer among the recent younger generation, and he is also a powerful ability, and he seems to be very close to the one in Golden City at the moment......"

The eccentric Lady Winter didn't say much about Merlin's resume, but just snorted twice to indicate that she heard it.

"Miss Misha, why don't you introduce yourself?" Stopping his thoughts, Merlin grinned at Misha and said very politely, "It seems that we don't know each other very equally." ”

Misha, who heard this, also smiled, "Indeed." She nodded slightly, "Then allow me to reintroduce myself, Misha, the elite trainer of the Alliance, and currently the Queen of Hearts of Solitaire......"

"Solitaire." Merlin muttered the term in a low voice, but his mind flew over the hooded cloaked figures with metal masks that had entered the battlefield in the late stages of the battle of Hualan. If he remembered correctly, it seems that these cloaked men belonging to the Alliance camp suffered heavy losses under the combined efforts of the Ideal State and the Rocket Legion......

"Since Merlin-kun knows the existence of the 'ghost hand', he must also know the 'cards', right?" Misha tried to smile, but eventually showed a twisted expression of pain.

"C&C Group." Merlin raised his eyes and glanced at Misha's haggard face, "...... of the Alliance," he was about to say the word lackey, but the words were swallowed back when they came to his lips, "...... Loyal allies. In the end, he chose a relatively mild word to describe the alliance and C, speaking of the C&C group, in fact, it can be regarded as an extension of the alliance in the field of free business, based on the retail industry, C&C's start-up team is almost all the descendants or widows of the affiliates of the alliance during the initial period, even if it is now one of the world's top retailers, C&C still has a strong alliance label and firmly follows the footsteps of the alliance - It is important to know that among the friendly stores that have stores all over the world, there is a considerable proportion of C&C shares. Solitaire is a non-governmental trainer organization independently funded by C&C Group, which is nominally a charitable and public welfare organization engaged in various rescue activities, but secretly it is the vanguard of cooperating with the alliance to fight against underground organizations and so-called evil organizations.

[It turns out that the so-called 'public welfare organization' she joined is a card ......] Merlin, who can't be called a group of people, remembered a sentence that Shigeru casually said in the Oki Research Institute, [I didn't directly join the alliance but chose to join the alliance's affiliated organizations, which is interesting......]

"We have indeed been the most staunch comrades-in-arms of the alliance for a long time, especially in the current chaotic situation, we are even more willing to charge forward for the alliance and contribute to the maintenance of world peace and stability." Misha didn't care about the playfulness in Merlin's words, but said seriously: "But now we are more than capable of enough, after suffering many heavy losses in the frontal battle, we can no longer provide more help to the alliance in the frontal battlefield......" Her tone was full of regret and unwillingness, "At the beginning, I also planned to recruit an excellent junior for Solitaire, but now it's ...... to look at it" Misha, who was full of sickness, glanced at Merlin with gloomy eyes.

[At that time, he really wanted to pull me into the water...... Merlin was silent on his face, but he slandered Misha's intentions for a while in his heart, [But all the cards composed of elite and above trainers actually suffered a frontal blow 'one after another'? This is very interesting.,I remember that the card is to set up the two squads of hearts and squares in Guandu.,The heavy losses of the red heart team in the Hualan incident are what I have seen with my own eyes.,It seems that the square team has also lost troops in more than half a year...... The dignified card queen, the number two person in the team all ended up like this, tsk...... But why didn't they bring back the spades and clubs that were placed in the city? Could it be that although the situation in the city is calm on the surface, it is also turbulent secretly? In the information provided by Qi, there is relatively little information about the city capital, which seems to be relatively calm, but Mr. Zhuang has personally confirmed that the situation in the city capital is not optimistic......] Merlin, who is good at loose thinking, used his talent to start a boundless reasonable imagination.

“…… Although we can no longer contribute more to the Alliance on the frontal battlefield, we can still play our final role on the other battlefield......"

Misha continued to speak impassionedly, but Merlin was the listener's unintentional search for his own present in the left ear and out of the right ear.

“…… Due to the long period of time in the relatively secluded 'underground', Solitaire has a stable network and relationship in the so-called 'underground world', especially with many small and medium-sized organizations. At present, we are acting as the Coalition's messenger and special emissary, responsible for liaising with various organizations that are relatively neutral or biased towards the Alliance, and we are planning to form a temporary consortium of organizations to assist the Alliance in fighting the madness of the evil organizations and maintaining world peace......" At this point, Misha stopped and looked at Merlin eagerly, but Merlin seemed to have no reaction to her words. Misha, who feels that she is being ignored, is somewhat annoyed, and she decides to scare Merlin with a bombshell news.

After brewing for a while, Misha spoke again: "But it's not just that we are engaged in something similar, the emissaries from the Rocket Legion and the Ideal Country have been lobbying everywhere in various underground and civil organizations since earlier, and one of their more brilliant achievements is that they single-handedly directed the 'Golden Break' to divide the capable people from within, and just recently they even single-handedly contributed to the complete split of the Ghost Hand!" ”

Hearing this, Dong snorted fiercely. Merlin was also called back to his soul by Winter's angry snort, [Is there also their shadow behind the rupture of the Golden Ability? He also regained interest in Misha's words, [could it be that she was also because of their ......] While listening attentively to Misha's words and thinking about his own thoughts, Merlin slowly put his right hand over his right cheek and rubbed his right temple with the index and middle fingers of his right hand.

Seeing that she had finally brought up Merlin's interest, Misha began her speech again: "At the beginning, the Golden Yellow Pavilion relied entirely on the personal charm of the leader to maintain, and the members were all clustered around the leader, so the rupture of the leadership will naturally divide the newly gathered abilities. However, although the original structure of the ghost hand was also very loose, and there was no strong bond and connection between the members and the superiors and subordinates, they were once a whole after all, and they were a collective that had been united for decades. However, under the bewitchment from the Ideal Country and the temptation of the Rocket Legion, the long-accumulated contradictions and grievances between different factions within the Ghost Hand suddenly came to a centralized general explosion, and split the Ghost Hand at one time, completely cutting the organization to pieces...... "She specially emphasized.

"The conflict between white and black." Winter picked up Misha's words in a resentful tone, "As the guides, masters, and mentors of the souls stranded in the mortal world, we have always been at odds with those bastards who drive away resentful spirits and summon evil spirits, but we have always been able to maintain a relatively delicate balance between each other, but the messenger of the Ideal Kingdom took the lead in dividing our camp with radical means and detonating the long-standing contradictions between us and those bastards......"

"The Ghost Hand has been completely divided/split into two factions, black and white." Misha continued, "The weakest of the White Ghost Hand is still carrying out the policy of gentleness, channeling, and guidance, and has accepted the goodwill of the alliance to join our camp. However, the most powerful black ghost hand was also divided again, some of them were influenced by strong feelings such as revenge, revenge, and sabotage and followed the ideal country, and the other part was tempted by the world to follow the rocket army......"

"Ill-intentioned and greedy psychics are also on the opposite side of the Alliance?" Merlin concluded. To be honest, he didn't think there was anything surprising about this, as it was normal for Merlin that an eclectic and mixed organization like Ghost Hand would eventually fall apart/split. It is also completely inevitable that the Golden Pavilion will part ways due to the rupture of the leader, and it may be possible to delay and compromise for a while, but when the final moment comes, when the inducement that can provoke the hidden dangers and contradictions that have been buried for a long time, it is still unavoidable.

"And it was blatantly and unusually determined." Misha said solemnly.

"Actually, as early as the Pokémon Tower was rumored to be haunted, those guys stationed in Aster Valley sent personnel to investigate," said ...... Fuyu, "A small group of Shinto shrine maidens came here to investigate after receiving a request for help from the townspeople, but unfortunately they were not able to solve the problem, but they were possessed by resentful spirits and became accomplices of the Rocket Corps here......"

Merlin raised an eyebrow. For modern ordinary people, Shinto shrine maidens may just belong to the liar who jumps the great god to cheat money or a kind of religious symbol of spiritual sustenance, but for Merlin, the remnants of the old era, they have the above attributes at the same time, they are also real aliens, and the reason why Shinto, yin and yang, and Ichishi religions have been able to continue is because they do have real abilities. And the shrine maidens of Shinto are the most effective among them, communicating with the dead, exorcism, and summoning the gods...... These terms, which are now jokes, are and are real to Merlin.

"You mean to say that the Black Ghost Hand helps the Rocket Corps here, here, in Aster, doing those psychic things like that?" Merlin was still not convinced. He didn't think that the independent psychics were capable of playing tricks in areas where the old religion was entrenched.

"That's right." Winter was very sure, but perhaps because of the heavy distrust on Merlin's face, she decided to explain: "It's not that I'm boasting, but I'm afraid that the number of psychics in the hands of the ghosts is far more than the really capable psychics in any old religion." Due to the alliance's long-term restrictions and suppression of religious forces, they have only the ability to protect themselves and have no capital for expansion. Or to put it more miserably - they are gradually walking into the grave, into the grave that they have dug themselves. ”

Merlin's complexion changed suddenly. As a religious force that surrendered to the alliance relatively early, he really didn't know how to express his feelings about it. But when you think about it, it's reassuring that these religious forces should have been accustomed to the chaotic behavior of those in power who have abandoned them.

"The forces of the old religions have been confined by the alliance to some locations where the boundaries between the two realms are weak, and they are also strictly monitored and restricted, and they can now only act as gatekeepers, and they are also emaciated, sick dogs with tails between them." Dong was a little arrogant, "And our ghost hands are free to spread all over the world, although the alliance occasionally recruits a group of psychics, but they never restrict us, so whether in terms of quantity or quality, we have long since turned against those religious forces that have been making great strides." ”

Merlin sneered lightly at Winter's arrogance, causing Winter to glare at him angrily.

"So, you're here to investigate the alliance between the Black Ghost Hand and the Rocket Legion?" Merlin quickly changed the subject to distract Dong's anger, "The Rocket Legion occupies the Pokémon Tower in Aster Town, and in addition to serving as a transit point and underground factory for smuggling Pokémon, I'm afraid it is also providing materials and help for the Black Ghost Hand, right?" ”

"That's right." Winter nodded, "The group of black ghost hands who are cooperating with the Rocket Corps here should be those bastards who are good at driving away the resentful spirits that are in the dust, and the resentment and soul of the Pokémon that were innocently slaughtered happen to be their best targets and bait......"

Merlin moved his gaze to Misha again, "Then why did Miss Misha drag her sick body here, I believe that this is definitely not a suitable place to recuperate." ”

"Quite the opposite." Dong Bao Bai said, "This is the most suitable place for Sister Misha to carry out treatment. ”

Merlin frowned, he didn't understand the meaning of Dong's words. The best place for healing in a ghostly energy-filled place? It was a fantasy for Merlin, [unless it was ......] he had vaguely caught a clue.

"Because the culprit that caused Sister Misha to become like this is you capable people!" Winter roared.

[Sure enough. Merlin, who confirmed his suspicions, was a little proud. He didn't know exactly how to use his abilities to slowly hurt the other person's body, but he knew very well how to use hypnosis to hurt the other person's spirit. After all, he had participated in the creation of a puppet, and he had learned a lot of related skills in the power base.

"You're abusing your abilities and even killing innocent people......," Dong exclaimed excitedly. Misha stood up and comforted Winter.

"So, in addition to talking nonsense before, you want me to help participate in the treatment is also one of the purposes." Leaning on the back of the chair, Merlin looked at Misha and Winter with a smile on his face, "Actually, you don't have to go through such a big deal, as long as you say it, I will naturally try my best to help......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In fact, just as Merlin speculated, one of the important purposes for Misha and Dong to find Merlin was to use Merlin's ability to treat the last vestiges of the domineering hypnosis that Misha suffered, although Misha had cleared almost most of the energy of the hypnotism suffered by Winter after Winter's active treatment, but Dong's treatment could only go so far. Because if she continues to be treated in the way of winter, the abilities in Misha's body will definitely be cleansed, and her own fire of life will be extinguished along with the disappearance of those energies.

The treatment method adopted by Dong is quite untechnical, that is, it simply uses the basic principle of ghost restraint ability to constantly input ghost energy into Misha's body to devour and destroy the power of the ability that has been entrenched in Misha's body. Although this treatment method of fighting poison with poison and fighting head-on can only be described as clumsy and stupid, it is also the most effective and fastest treatment that Misha can find.

And although this method is very effective, the side effects are also obvious and huge-just look at Misha's current dignity--In addition to the ability to restrain the ghost-based energy, it is also frantically plundering, extracting, and consuming Misha's own life force at the same time, if it weren't for the fact that Dong is a powerful psychic who can control the energy of those ghost-based beings to the greatest extent, and her partners are also experts in controlling the output of fine energy, I'm afraid that the current Misha would have been gnawed into a skeleton by the ghost-based energy.

So when Merlin takes over Misha's treatment, he is faced with a remnant flower that is about to wither. Merlin's ability is honestly not suitable for treatment, if he had asked Merlin to treat Misha from the beginning, then Misha's current situation would probably be even worse, because Merlin's ability will completely destroy Misha's body from the inside out.

But fortunately, Merlin's partners have Hepu, who specializes in hypnosis, and Antri, Reiko, and Kuknas, who are good at hypnosis, plus Vizel, who can control the ability, to assist in tuning, so there is no need for Merlin to make a move, only the five Pokémon under his command need to join forces to attack, and together they can strangle the last bit of hypnotic energy remaining in Misha's body, which is a matter of minutes - and thanks to the fact that the hypnotic energy in Misha's body has been almost devoured before Winter, At the same time, it almost devoured Misha's own strength, so that this seed could not be replenished at all, so that Merlin could succeed so easily, and his face was showing off to the winter with a look on the side.

"Although the hypnotism has been cleared," Merlin, who had withdrawn his companions, did not forget to tell Misha out of the professional ethics of a doctor, "but your body is basically hollowed out," he looked at Misha with a straight face, "in the future, even if you replenish your nutrition and rest for a long time to return to your original state, it will be a great harm to your longevity and long-term health." And I can't guarantee that the hypnotism you've been subjected to has been completely wiped out......"

When he said this, Misha, who was already a little happy on his face, suddenly froze, and Winter on the side began to shout, ignoring Misha's emotional fluctuations and Dong's nonsense, Merlin decided to say his worries in advance: "Your hypnotism...... To be honest, I've never heard of it, it's far beyond my knowledge and abilities, and while the combined efforts of Miss Dong and I have cleared the energy residue, I think it's affected you......" He pointed to Misha's forehead, "and into your brain, your mind, and even your soul......"

Like the final verdict, Misha, who seemed to have a little preparation, slowly closed her eyes and said for a long time: "I'm not surprised......"

Dong interjected urgently: "There is no problem with the soul! Misha, don't listen to this little ghost alarmist!! ”

Merlin just hummed softly.

Misha opened her eyes again, a splash in her gloomy eyes, "It has changed me?" She asked, trembling.

"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." Merlin sighed softly, "I'm not very familiar with you, or even if I know you well, it's hard for me to see how you've changed......" He hesitated for a moment, "Let's put it this way, Miss Dong and I work together to clear the ability to clear more than hypnotism, but another kind of energy wrapped around the skin of hypnosis." According to my friends and I, this energy has a variety of effects such as communication, communication, remote control, and deepening hypnosis, but there is no real hypnotic effect. Clearing these energies in time can only ensure that the hypnosis you have received will not deepen, will not change, and that you are no longer someone else's eyes, ears and pawns, but the changes it brought to you in the first place have been deeply ......"

Merlin's narration was very ordinary, and Misha listened to it with ease, except for Winter gritting his teeth and braving the slightest hint of sinister wind and ghostly anger on the side, threatening to catch the person who had planted such a vicious hypnotism for Misha and torture him or her or his soul for eternity.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

At the same time that Dong jumped his feet and viciously cursed Misha's perpetrator, in a dark room on a certain basement floor of the headquarters building of the Shiruf Company in Golden City, thousands of miles away, a lazily curled up in a swivel chair, wearing a white coat and a soft black dress that was closing her eyes and recuperating, slowly opened her eyes. It was a pair of deep purple eyes as pure as jewels, and there were no impurities or emotions in them.

"Unraveled." She muttered to herself in a hollow voice that didn't resemble the sound of the world, and there was not much concern in her tone, but more like a simple statement. Before she finished speaking, in the darkness around her, countless hideous ghosts suddenly appeared out of thin air, and these ugly ghosts with viciousness and coldness roared silently and rushed towards the woman.

"Incompetent psychic." The woman snorted coldly, and the surrounding ghosts were torn to shreds in an instant, "Weak curse." The woman commented casually, and then stood up from the swivel chair, "Is that him?" The woman who floated in the air to the door of the real yàn room muttered to herself, "Nazi, the game between the two of us hasn't started yet......"

These were the last words left by the woman before she was completely swallowed up by the inky darkness.
