Three days ago, on the eve of the riots in Zhuqing Village.

As the station of the Galaxy Team, Zhuqing Village is very open-minded to the outside world, accepting tourists from all over the world, and the prosperity of tourists is far greater than that of Ultramarine Town, so the pedestrians on the street are dense.

In the afternoon, a man dressed in cloth carried his bags and walked slowly into Zhuqing Village, he was obviously the first time to come here, and he couldn't help but tighten his bags behind him and look around at the surrounding scenery.

The overall architectural style of Zhuqing Village is not much different from other towns in the Xicui area, so there is not much to see.

What really surprised him was that along the way, he was able to meet a lot of Pokémon...... Although they are all relatively weak Pokémon such as big toothed civets, spiny tail insects, and small fist stones, humans and Pokémon do live together.

"Woo?" A cry of confusion came from the bag behind him...... His hunting butterfly was obviously sensing the breath of his kind.

Although the man was surprised, he didn't let down his guard and directly released the hunting phoenix butterfly, he laughed and said, "This Zhuqing Village is so prosperous, the doctor must also be skilled, and he also has experience in treating Pokémon...... When you're better, I'll take you around. ”

The hunting butterfly did not respond, and with its age, it usually slept most of the time.

The man asked a few people, and only then did he know that the most skilled doctor in Zhuqing Village was the leader of the medical team of the Galaxy team, Pestle.

I asked for directions, walked through the streets and alleys, came to the Galaxy Team Headquarters building, explained my intention to the guard at the door, and was easily led to the medical team.

The people of Team Galaxy were not at all resistant to outsiders like him.

Pestle is a young woman with a pink double ponytail that bears a slight resemblance to Qiao Yin.

There were a lot of patients in the medical team, but the man did not cut in line, and waited slowly until the pestle approached.

She glanced the man up and down a few times, and asked suspiciously: "You are strong and strong, with long internal breath, and a good complexion, which doesn't look like you are sick at all?" ”

The man laughed innocently, unpacked his bags, and the sleeping hunting phoenix butterfly and the flowers spread in the bag appeared in front of the pestle.

Pestle frowned slightly, was silent for a while, and then pursed her lips and said: "Life and death have a fate, and it is about to die...... In this case, there is no medical treatment...... Thou, mourn. ”

The man smiled politely, and although he had received an answer that he had heard many times, he still said sincerely: "You are a famous doctor, please think of a way to let her live a few more days......

Pestle's eyebrows furrowed, allowing a dying Pokémon to live a few more days...... It's not impossible, but it's very troublesome, and it requires a lot of precious medicinal materials, and recently the investigation team has been on a mission outside, and there are many injured Pokémon...... As the leader of Team Galaxy's medical team, she should naturally prioritize medical resources for Team Galaxy's Pokémon...... But......

She looked the man up and down a few times, and the appearance of the dusty man was obviously a long journey here......

Therefore, she pursed her lips and pondered for a while, before she said, "Yes, it can be, but it requires a lot of medicinal materials, and the cost of treatment is not a small amount......

Although she is the leader of the medical team, it is obviously impossible to embezzle medicinal materials to treat anyone for free without permission, and the medical resources are not unlimited, it is impossible to squander them like this, and she is willing to spend resources and energy just to save a few days of life for the hunting phoenix butterfly, which has been benevolent and righteous.

The man obviously understood this truth, his eyes lit up, and he knelt down directly and kowtowed to the pestle, and said loudly: "Money is not a problem, I still have a few strengths, and I will definitely make up the medical expenses!" ”

"You, you get up!" Where had Pestle seen this kind of battle, the rest of the medical team also looked at it, made her blush, chopped her feet, and hurriedly pulled the man up.

Things should have been resolved so smoothly, but there was still a person in the medical team at the time......

……

"Wait a minute."

The man left the medical team and was about to go to Zhuqing Village to find some work to earn money, when he was suddenly stopped by someone.

He looked up, but it was a middle-aged man in a Team Galaxy uniform......

Back to the present, afternoon dusk.

Boom————

The thunder slipped by, watching the battle, it was going to rain.

Xu Qiansu looked up at the sky, the sea waves ebbed and flowed, the sea breeze blew, and his slightly long black hair was gently lifted.

The setting sun in the distance slowly sets beyond the sea and sky, dyeing the entire sea a red color.

"Hmm!" Zoroa stepped on the sand with his paws, and giggled happily at the sight of his own small plum blossom print.

The vine snake sat on Xu Qiansu's shoulder and shook his calves lightly.

"Let's go back......" Xu Qiansu retracted his gaze, leaned over and picked up Zoroya, and smiled lightly.

"Hmm~"

The vine snake glanced at Xu Qiansu with a tilted head, ran from the windward forest to Ginkgo Beach, and collected it all day, but still failed to find the clue of the six tails...... She stretched out her rattan whip, hooked the flask from Xu Qiansu's waist, and handed it to his face.

"What's going on now?" Xu Qiansu smiled dumbly, but still took the wine jug and poured it into his mouth.

"Chirp." The vine snake seemed to 'snort'.

Xu Qiansu patted his face and smiled again, "Go back." ”

……

The sun had completely set, the sky was rumbling, and it looked like a rainy night tonight.

Ultramarine Town.

The wine flags in the bluestone alley are waving in the wind, because it is about to rain, most of the drinkers have left, and the shopkeeper is also planning to close the stall in advance, and is wiping the table with a rag.

Suddenly, he heard the faint sound of footsteps.

The shopkeeper obviously has a lot of experience, and judging from the footsteps alone, the person who has practiced martial arts is a martial artist.

He turned his head to look, but saw a man wearing a robe, a hat, and a bag on his back opened the curtain and asked, "Can the shopkeeper still sell wine?" ”

This person is a fresh face, but looking at the pretend, most of them are travelers who have just arrived in Ultramarine Town today...... You can also call him a charlatan.

The shopkeeper smiled, threw the rag over his shoulder, put a jar of wine on the table, and turned around to take an empty bowl, but when he looked back, the man had already hugged the jar and drank in a muffled voice.

The shopkeeper didn't care, put down the empty bowl, and brought out two side dishes instead.

"Thank you for the shopkeeper's ......" The man smiled innocently, and replaced the hat and the robe, revealing the coarse linen clothes inside, "There is no business today?" ”

"Ultramarine Town is just a small town, how can there be so many people who are addicted to alcohol......" The shopkeeper sighed lightly with a smile on his face, "At this moment, at night, seeing that it is about to rain, naturally no one will come." ”

"That's right," the man laughed, put down the wine jar, and ate the side dishes, but asked in his mouth: "I wonder who will settle in the town in the past seven days?" ”

"Settle?" The shopkeeper wiped his hands with a rag, stirred it lightly in the large vat with the rich aroma of wine with a wine spoon, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I have opened a wine shop all my life, and I have come and gone, and everyone has seen it...... Pretentious heroes, splashes in the market, and even Pokémon have seen ...... When people live longer, they will be able to see things more clearly......"

As he spoke, the shopkeeper tilted his head and said, "You were entrusted to assassinate him?" ”

Boom————

The thunder swept through the night, and the raindrops poured down and landed on the corner of the eaves and porch, making a crisp sound.

Hearing this, the man was slightly stunned, nodded slightly, but slowly shook his head.

"Then I have nothing to say, I don't have anything to say, you can go elsewhere to find out the news......" The shopkeeper shook his head slightly, but he was not afraid that the man would do something irrational because of this.

The man stood up, but he just took two empty bowls, poured wine, pushed one of the bowls in the direction of the shopkeeper, and said slowly: "If everything goes well, it may not hurt his life." ”

The shopkeeper looked at the wine bowl, did not take it, but raised his eyes to look at the man's bag, and asked, "You bring ...... Butterfly hunting? ”

Winter!

The man stood up suddenly, and the bench under him fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

The shopkeeper raised his hand lightly and explained: "Hunting butterfly pollen is one of the best materials for making fruit wine, old man, I have opened a wine shop for so many years, so I can naturally smell its taste...... You don't have to worry, old man, I'm a relatively enlightened person about Pokémon, and I don't care that you carry Pokémon with you. ”

The man was shocked and uncertain, and after a while, he picked up the bench and sat down, opened his bags, and let the hunting butterfly breathe...... In the bag, the flowers that the man specially picked for hunting butterflies have already shown signs of wilting.

"Originally, hunting phoenix butterflies should have been put in Zhuqing Village by me to recuperate, but a member of the Galaxy Team once took out a crystal clear energy cube and gave it a little bit of vitality, which is a miracle!" The man's tone was brisk, and it was the tone that suddenly found hope in despair.

“…… He told me that he had a way to bring the hunting butterfly back to life, but he needed me to find someone to ......," the man whispered.

The man didn't fully believe Chiri's words, but Chiri promised that as long as he could capture the man back to Zhuqing Village, he would give him a large sum of money even if he couldn't let the hunt resume...... This money can allow the hunting butterflies to live for a few more days...... That's enough for the man to come to Ultramarine alone.

The shopkeeper looked at the hunting phoenix butterfly a few times, then sighed, picked up the wine bowl, but hesitated for a moment, put it down again, touched the wine bowl in the man's hand slightly, and said:

"I can't tell you the news, but this bowl of wine ...... You won't have to pay for the wine. ”

The man smiled slightly, picked up the wine bowl, and drank it all.

Bang!

The bowl was lowered and made a soft noise on the table.

The man stood up, bowed to the shopkeeper, put on his hat, put on his robe, walked to the door, took a long knife leaning against the edge of the green wall, and walked away with the hunting butterfly.

The lights in the wine shop flickered, illuminating the shopkeeper's face gloomily.

He turned his head to look at the man's back in the rainy night, and after a long time, he sighed.

"The way of the world...... It's a thing. ”

In fact, there is one thing that the man did not tell the shopkeeper...... He came to Ultramarine Town this morning, and the news had already been found.

It's just that the man hasn't returned for a long time, and he has waited until now...... The shopkeeper was asked again, just out of a bit of luck, eager to come up with a completely different answer.

Bang!

Thunder flashed, heavy rain howled, and raindrops crackled and fell.

Gadelia sat in the room, closed her eyes and meditated, her beautiful and noble white face without a trace of expression, quietly waiting for Xu Qiansu to come back......

Whew-

The lights in the room seemed to be extinguished by the cold wind on a rainy night.

Gadelia opened her eyes, raised her hand slightly, and the fire ignited out of thin air.

She was silent for a moment, then turned her head to look through the wooden windows, which seemed to pass over the thousands of squares and towering walls.

Stampede ————

Xu Qiansu held a paper umbrella, stepped through the muddy mountain road, and walked to the gate of Ultramarine Town.

The night lingered and the heavy rain caused the guard's vision to be a little bad, and it took a while to recognize Xu Qian.

They hurriedly opened the gate and asked, "Why didn't Mr. Xu come back with the big army?" ”

"Thinking that my companion might still be alive, I couldn't bear to go out and look for it."

The guard nodded slightly, and this reason was naturally reasonable, so he admonished: "It's dark and the rain is so heavy, so be careful when you go back...... Why don't my two brothers give you a ride? ”

"No need, I understand the kindness...... Xu Qiansu smiled, and after declining the kindness of the guards, he walked away.

As the night covered the sky of Ultramarine Town, the lights of thousands of homes slowly lit up around thousands of houses.

Xu Qiansu stepped on the wet bluestone floor tiles and walked through the streets and alleys...... Because of the heavy rain, there was no one on the street, and the raindrops dripped on the umbrella and slid down the umbrella bones, making a soft 'tick' sound.

Except for the sound of his footsteps, there was only the sound of rain.

Being in Ultramarine Town, Xu Qiansu naturally does not need to use the waveguide to perceive the surroundings at all times...... After all, this is very draining, he went out to search all day, and he was already a little tired.

Rub ——————

Xu Qiansu suddenly paused and stopped in place, this is ...... The sound of sharp objects rubbing against floor tiles?

Tick Tick Tick Tick ————

In the night, only the sound of rain remains.

The moment he paused, the strange sound disappeared.

Xu Qiansu did not hesitate to spread the power of the waveguide to all directions, and the whispers in the couple's room in the distance, the crying of the children and even the light sound of the firewood burning could be heard clearly...... Immediately, Xu Qiansu suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head to look at a dark alley not far from him, was silent for a while, and said in a low voice:

"You... Deliberately making noise to get my attention? ”

The voice fell, and the dark alley was silent.

After a while, the faint sound of footsteps sounded softly, and a figure appeared in the rain curtain of the night.

Dressed in a robe, with a hat on his head, his face could not be seen clearly, and he held a long knife, and the raindrops slid down from the blade.

Xu Qiansu knows his identity, or rather, he once had a relationship.

How the face is fabricated, how the body is camouflaged, the only constant is the waveguide.

The person who came obviously knew Xu Qiansu's identity, otherwise he would not have deliberately revealed his voice to let Xu Qiansu notice.

This means that the grievances between the two are over, and the next ...... Each according to his ability.

Xu Qiansu's footsteps moved slightly, facing the clothed guest not far away, and said: "This kind of weather is not suitable for running around with it." ”

The clothier didn't reply, and stood still in the rain.

Da ———— Da Da————

Raindrops drip on long knives and oil-paper umbrellas with a crisp sound.

Zoroya shrank in Xu Qiansu's collar, and he didn't dare to gasp.

The vine snake's big burgundy eyes were full of coldness, and two rattan whips slowly poked out of its neck, ready to attack at any time.

An oppressive and dreary atmosphere surrounds it.

Trample.

The clothed guest suddenly raised his long knife, and the blade slid over the raindrops, setting off a faint sound of raindrops colliding with Fang Cai.

It was at this moment that Xu Qiansu took a step back, closed the oil-paper umbrella, turned his wrist slightly, and in the next moment, a long knife appeared on the umbrella bone.

Looking along the hilt of the knife, it can be seen that the green tendons on the palm of its owner have burst out.

Sa!

The excessive speed of the cloth guest drove the raindrops around him, and they shot out one by one, slapping on Xu Qiansu's face.

The huge force came from his wrist, and the distance was close at the moment, and Xu Qiansu could even see some stubble on the chin of the clothier.

His expression remained unchanged, but he opened the oil-paper umbrella reluctantly.

The cloth guest was slightly stunned, and there was only a shallow oil-paper umbrella surface left in his sight.

Stop!

In the next moment, I saw two vines whipping through the umbrella surface, like a poisonous snake spitting out the core, and like an arrow off the string, shooting at the face and chest of the clothed man under the rain curtain.

With the strength of a human body, if you are hit by a rattan whip of this force, you will definitely be pierced on the spot.

But the clothier just flipped the blade of the knife with his wrist, silently, but appeared on his chest in an instant.

Bang Bang!

When the long knife came into contact with the rattan whip, it actually released a crisp sound of gold and iron handover.

The spark shimmered, illuminating the dark and resolute face under the coat's hat.

Yes, whether it is Xu Qiansu or Lingyike, there is no need to say much at this moment, because saying a thousand, saying ten thousand, is just a sentence of 'fate is impermanent'.
