Chapter Sixty-Nine: Lovers Agree
The luxurious ballroom on the second floor of the Sea Anthem has a carpet as red as roses, and the crystal chandelier inlaid with gems at the top cannot help but reflect the figures of various people below.
A soothing and elegant symphony reverberates through the hall, where couples shake hands and dance briskly on the carpet.
"Isn't that man hurt? Can't find him with the power of the waveguide? Ma Li stood in the corner of the ball, looking at the men and women enjoying the night, with a calm look on her face, holding Xu Qiansu's arm in one hand and champagne in the other, and asked in a low voice.
"Already tried...... I didn't think he would be found so easily...... Anyway, he is also a cadre of Team Rocket, and he can escape Shiori's pursuit all the way, so he always has some skills. Xu Qiansu shook his head lightly and replied in a low voice.
When the words fell, Xu Qiansu pressed his headset and said in a low voice, "Shiori, are you still in the security room?" β
"What do you want to do?"
"Observe." Xu Qiansu replied briefly, caressing Shanaiduo's little face.
Shanaiduo narrowed her eyes pleasantly.
Ma Li withdrew her small hand holding Xu Qiansu's arm, took a sip of champagne, and immediately took a few steps forward without a trace, blocking Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu turned to touch Shanaiduo's small satchel.
"Hmph~ There are one hundred and twenty-four people with similar figures...... I focused on them. Shiori let out an interested nasal voice, then her apricot eyes narrowed slightly, and she took out a small device from her handbag and connected it to the computer, and in an instant, countless light blue circles appeared on the screen, locking the faces of everyone present.
Airplanes!
The 'waveguide' of the magical slate spread outward again, but this time only in the ballroom, and only for a moment...... With this range, even without Lucario's assistance, Xu Qiansu could do it.
Some superpower-based PokΓ©mon in the field had some doubts in their eyes, and they looked around curiously, always feeling as if something had just appeared that made their hearts throb, but at the moment, they couldn't detect anything.
Xu Qiansu withdrew his hand and touched Shanaiduo's hair again.
"How?" Marley crossed her arms and asked softly.
"The breath of the mask did not leak out this time, it seems that there is a precautionary ......" During the discussion, Xu Qiansu touched the headset, "Shiori? β
"I know." Shiori Su couldn't stop operating on the keyboard, her eyes staring at the screen without blinking, and after a while, she said slowly, "Among the one hundred and twenty-four people, fifty of them have changed their expressions, but if you analyze it carefully...... There are four people who are suspicious. β
As the words fell, a few light-colored light spots appeared on the screens of Xu Qiansu and Ma Li's glasses, marking the four people as their eyes turned.
"Be prepared to lose consciousness in a matter of seconds and get them straight to life...... Although it will cause a little riot, it is better to be decisive and safe, how about it? Ma Li looked at the four men without a trace, and suggested calmly.
"Nope." Joey's voice came from the headset, rejecting the proposal, "Don't use violence unless you are identified, once you make a mistake in judgment and startle the snake, it will be difficult." β
Marie sighed secretly, and that was why the man had chosen to stay here...... It can be said that any one of them here has the potential to become a hostage to the other.
Of course, they can choose to gamble, but if they lose the bet, the death of any one person is their responsibility.
What does Xu Qiansu want to do?
Ma Li looked sideways at Xu Qiansu, but found that his eyebrows were slightly frowned, but he didn't look at the four people at all.
"What else have you discovered?" Marley asked softly.
"......" Xu Qiansu was silent for a moment before he said slowly, "That person's preparation is too sufficient, blending into this luxurious giant ship, blocking the resonance of the mask, and at this moment, he can isolate the power of my waveguide......"
"What do you mean...... Does he have an internal response? And that Nai should be among the seven people in this mission? Joey's voice was slightly cold, and he guessed in a low voice.
Seven people, Joey, Xu Qiansu, Ma Li, Shiori, and the other three-person team.
"It's a possibility." Xu Qiansu bowed slightly, then looked at the waiter and beckoned slightly.
"Huh?" Ma Li looked at Xu Qiansu.
But Xu Qiansu took out a glass of champagne from the waiter's plate, chuckled and thanked him, and then the power of the wave guide passed into the cup along his hand, causing the champagne to vibrate, ripple and undulate, and then Xu Qiansu shook it slightly, and a few drops of champagne slipped out of the glass...... No more, no less, exactly four drops.
"Shanaiduo." Xu Qiansu said in a low voice.
The amber eyes of Shanaiduo, who was standing behind Xu Qiansu, glanced at the four drops of champagne, and then the champagne floating in the air paused slightly, and then shot towards the four people in the blink of an eye.
Woohoo woo blah.
"Tsk."
"Huh?"
Impartially, that drop of champagne is right in the small arm of the four.
Their brows furrowed, and they felt as if they had been pricked with needles in their forearms...... But where did the needle come from at the moment?
It's a strange thing.
They touched their forearms, then shook their heads slightly, forgetting about the anomaly.
"They're not ......" Ma Lixing's eyes narrowed, "If the forearm is really injured, and suddenly it is hit like this, the body must have a violent instinctive reaction, which cannot be removed through training." β
"So it's not that I'm cut off from the power of the waveguide, but that I'm not in the prom hall from ......the beginning," Xu Qiansu muttered softly.
Xu Qiansu suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, remembered something, and turned his head to Ma Li and said, "Miss Ma Li, you continue to stay in the dance hall...... I went to the bathroom. β
Ma Li glanced at Xu Qiansu suspiciously, "What are you trying to do without me?" β
Xu Qiansu spread his hands slightly, "You can't directly castrate my physiological impulse, I just flew on the back of the fast dragon for an afternoon, and until now, I haven't been to the toilet." β
Ma Li blinked, pursed her lips, and looked away, "You just go." β
Xu Qiansu smiled, "With so many doubts, your child must be very hard in the future." β
Ma Li squinted at Xu Qiansu and said with a smile, "The child doesn't know, but if my husband cheats, it will be impossible to hide it from me." β
"When that time comes, if he cries and begs your forgiveness...... Will you be soft-hearted? β
"I'll give you ten minutes." Hearing this, Ma Li's smiling expression instantly turned cold, and she said coldly.
ββ¦β¦ Be. Xu Qiansu didn't say anything more, scratched his face, drank the champagne from the glass, and casually put the goblet on the waiter's plate as he walked towards the door.
Ma Li turned her head to look at Xu Qiansu's back and didn't say a word.
Leaving the luxurious ball hall, Xu Qiansu touched the headset, "Shiori? β
"Huh? There is a restroom in the prom hall, what are you doing when you come out? β
"At this moment, you still have the heart to make fun of me?"
"Hmph, you're really boring." Shiori propped up her side face, looked at Xu Qiansu who walked under the camera on the screen, and asked, "Who do you want me to check for you?" β
"The mother and daughter I just met in the stairwell...... My glasses should have a video recording function, right? β
"Yes, yes...... But the object is a man, you guy, don't you like mothers and daughters? Feed! I'm going to call the police! Shiori was stunned.
ββ¦β¦ From the time I found him in the ball hall to the time I arrived at the ball hall, who else left? Xu Qiansu decided to ignore Shiori, she must have done it on purpose anyway.
"Turn around?" Shiori was slightly stunned, and hurriedly operated on the keyboard with both hands, and began to adjust the monitoring, "I ignored this possibility." β
In the operation room, Shiori took the time to ask, "But why did you throw Marly down?" She's on this mission for your safety...... And if your guess is true, it's not a good thing to go your separate ways at this point. β
"That's why she can't come along." Xu Qiansu stepped on the stairs and walked up.
"What do you mean?"
"She's afraid of something wrong with me, and of course I'm afraid of something going to happen to her...... If I had told the truth, she would have said, 'I should have said, 'Your safety is the priority!' Then followed. β
"I see, but Marry's strength is stronger than you...... So you're still a machismo, you can't see it, you can't see it. Shiori sighed.
"Machismo ......" Xu Qiansu smiled dumbly and shook his head slightly, "If you have someone you like, you will choose it this way." β
"I don't understand, I just think you're really inexplicable." Shiori snorted lightly, and then sorted out the information, his apricot eyes narrowed, and he said:
"You get there very quickly, less than two minutes...... Within two minutes, only the mother and daughter had left the ballroom...... This may be a mistake in your judgment, he must still be in the hall, and he just used some means to avoid our detection. β
"But there is a need to give it a try...... The position of the mother and daughter? Xu Qiansu kept walking, and continued to walk up the stairs, making a slight sound as he walked.
"Okay...... Open-air swimming pool on the second floor. β
Knowing the location, Xu Qiansu's speed was a few points faster, so he arrived at his destination in less than three minutes.
The men and women here look a little more open than in the ball hall...... As soon as Xu Qiansu appeared, several mature and beautiful women in bikinis, revealing large areas of snow-white skin, frequently looked at him, unabashedly casting fiery glances, and looked like Xu Qiansu would leave with him as soon as he spoke.
Xu Qiansu ignored them, looked at the crowd near the pool, and then saw the beautiful woman in a long dress, who looked no more than thirty years old, sitting alone on the sofa, holding a wine glass, and taking small sips of wine...... Her daughter was sitting at the bar, talking to the bartender.
Xu Qiansu picked up three Poke Balls from his waist, threw them casually, and then walked closer to the beautiful woman and sat directly beside her.
"Huh?" The beautiful woman who was sipping wine alone approached Xu Qiansu, and her eyes instantly widened, "You... You, you're the ...... you've just met."
"Hello." The corners of Xu Qiansu's mouth hooked slightly, with a soft smile, but he asked, "May I ask if you are from Team Rocket?" β
The beautiful woman tilted her head slightly, her face was puzzled, but her voice was soft, and she asked politely, "Huh?" I don't understand what you're saying? How do you need help......?"
Before the words fell, Xu Qiansu raised his hand slightly, and Shanaiduo took out the magical slate directly from his satchel...... The breathtaking aura and extremely strong sense of presence poured out along with the appearance of the magical slate, as if some big hand touched the cheeks of everyone in the audience and twisted it violently, making everyone look at the magical slate in Shanaiduo's hand.
They don't know what it is, and they don't know what it does...... But they just get caught in the magic slate.
The beautiful woman also subconsciously looked at the magical stone slab, and her pupils shrank suddenly.
Then, he watched Shanaiduo throw it in the direction of the sea, and people's eyes also looked at the magical stone slab flying through the air.
"Tyrannosaurus !!" At that moment, the beautiful woman suddenly screamed, her voice hoarse, and at the same time, with a hand, a short dagger cut out of her sleeve, lit up with a cold light, and stabbed at Xu Qiansu's neck.
Rumble!
But when he saw the waves splashing violently in the dark sea, an extremely huge tyrannosaurus jumped up and opened his mouth to swallow the magical stone slab.
Bang bang bang!
I saw two huge yellow-black tentacles slamming through the wooden floor, and between the flying sawdust, they attacked in the direction of Xu Qiansu.
Electric Shock Monster's tentacles!
Call!
At the same time, a flash of crimson fire shone from the sky, but it was Charizard patrolling the sky above the Sea Songt, its wings flapping violently, and it flew rapidly downward.
Everything happened at the same time, so unexpectedly, beyond everyone's expectations...... Except for Xu Qiansu.
He sat next to the beautiful woman, and the cold light appeared on his neck, and his skin felt a trace of coldness......
The murder weapon will pierce his body in the next moment, but Xu Qiansu only raised his hand slightly, and blocked the wrist of the beautiful woman holding the dagger, and then the other hand clamped the neck of the beautiful woman like a thunderous sound, twisted it hard, and then heard a click, the beautiful woman's head tilted, and she passed out directly.
Shanaiduo flashed and appeared above the sea, holding the magical stone tablet in one hand, and below it was the tyrannosaur's bloody mouth, but with a wave of her hand, the dark purple superpower wrapped the tyrannosaur's body and threw it violently into the outdoor pool.
Darkrai's figure swirled, and he suddenly poked out of Xu Qiansu's shadow, and then waved his hand slightly, and a black substance like a black hole went straight into the yellow-black tentacles that attacked Xu Qiansu...... As soon as the two came into contact, the yellow-black tentacles collapsed weakly to the ground.
Black hole...... Darkrai's exclusive move, the one who hits, will fall into a restrictive sleep.
Darkrai's other hand was aimed at the Tyrannosaurus that had been thrown by Shanaido.
Rumble!
A thick, waterfall-like purple-black light shot out of Darkrai's hand, tearing through the air and engulfing the Tyrannosaurus in the blink of an eye.
Waves of Evil.
Shout!
Seeing this, Charizard's eyes sank, its mouth puffed out, and a few traces of sparks escaped from the corners of its mouth, and then saw a touch of orange light like lightning, which flew over from a distance, and smashed on Charizard's body without abating, and then took Charizard back in the night sky a few times, and suddenly sank into the dark sea...... It's Miss Joy's fast dragon.
"What!?" The girl who was talking to the bartender had just turned around, and before she could react, two rattan whips slammed around her body like a poisonous snake spitting cores, binding her firmly and immobilizing her.
But in the blink of an eye, the tyrannosaurus, fire-breathing dragon, and electric shock monsters, the mother and daughter were directly subdued.
The girl struggled desperately, but how could she break free from the vine snake's whip?
Instead, several PokΓ© Balls fell to the ground during her struggles, and the Teasupons stood up from where they were hiding and ran after the rolling PokΓ© Balls on their short legs, picking them up.
Not...... Six-Tails looked at the little sacrum and thought to himself, why is it that as soon as you appear, the painting style is different?
"Solved, solved?" Shiori's stunned voice mixed with shock came from the headset.
Xu Qiansu pushed up the glasses that had just slipped a little, and did not speak, but leaned out the power of the waveguide, and sensed the body of this beautiful woman at zero distance......
Yes, she is a serious woman, and her forearms, calves and ribs are not injured......
Xu Qiansu glanced at the girl who was restrained by the vine snake.
Shanaiduo teleported and appeared beside Xu Qiansu and put the magical stone tablet into his small satchel.
Immediately, the outdoor pool was noisy, but the next moment, a man and a woman trotted in, one dressed in waiter's clothes, and the other dressed in the same evening dress as Shiori and Marly.
"Interpol, don't be impatient!" They took out their documents and shouted loudly to disperse the crowd...... Apparently he was in a hurry at the behest of his superiors
Xu Qiansu glanced at them, then stood up and came to the girl who was tied up by the rattan snake without saying a word.
The girl glared at Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu concocted it in the same way, and probed out the power of the waveguide at zero distance, and then raised his eyebrows slightly, and praised, "Amazing mimicry, no wonder you can hide the poems all the way here...... Presumably, you deliberately only revealed your ability to change your face, so that Shiori could get the wrong information......"
"Huh? I was put on a show by him!? Hearing this, Shiori couldn't sit still.
"How did you change your height? Is it black technology, or bone shrinking, or relying on PokΓ©mon? Xu Qiansu asked curiously.
The 'girl' stared at Xu Qiansu, and her voice seemed to be squeezed out of her throat, "Who are you?" When did Interpol's group of rice buckets add a waveguide messenger? β
"It doesn't matter who I am...... Xu Qiansu smiled, then tilted his chin, looked down at the 'girl', and asked calmly, "What about the mask?" β
"You're going to search?" The 'girl' sneered and mocked.
"You notice something is wrong with the mask, and then you quickly leave the place...... It should be you who keep it close to you. Xu Qiansu glanced at the 'girl' and guessed.
"Huh." The 'girl' was silent, just sneering sarcastically at Xu Qiansu.
"But it's not possible." Xu Qiansu shook his head slightly, and then took out the magical stone slab from Shanaiduo's satchel, and with a flick of his fingers, bursts of waveguides rippled up.
Toot, toot β
The vine snake scavenged a walkie-talkie-like device from the girl's body.
Xu Qiansu flicked his fingers again, and the 'doodoo' of the instrument became more intense.
"A special instrument for detecting Cresalia."
The girl's face sank, but she still did not speak.
"It seems that you have calculated a lot, and you have not calculated that I have a magical slate, let alone that this magical slate has the breath of Creslia." Xu Qiansu smiled to himself, and then asked, "The mask is not by your side...... Is it escorted by your PokΓ©mon? I remember you also had a banjira. β
The 'girl' still didn't speak, obviously pinching the secret, but there was a strong mockery in her eyes, she looked at Xu Qiansu, sneered, and said, "No matter what, you will die here, if you want to laugh, just take advantage of this moment to laugh more." β
"You mean the bomb hidden in the cabin?" Xu Qiansu raised his eyebrows slightly, "You don't think I can't find that kind of thing, do you?" β
In fact, when Lucario surveyed the entire ship with Xu Qiansu, he had already spotted the bomb and informed Miss Joy...... Therefore, the bomb is estimated to have been defused by another team of Interpol, that is, the man and the woman.
"Naive." The 'girl' smiled disdainfully, looking at ease, as if she was not the one who was arrested.
"If you are so confident that you can take me, if you don't bluff, then you have another backhand......" Xu Qiansu groaned a little, raised his eyes to look at the dark night in the distance, and laughed,
"You should have more than one water-type PokΓ©mon, after the alarm sounded, you knew that we were coming to the door, so you did not hesitate to hand over the mask to the water-type PokΓ©mon and let it run away with the mask...... Your Faith Comes from ......"
Xu Qiansu paused, turned his head to look at the 'girl', and said firmly, "Team Rocket's reinforcements are on the way, and they are not far from the 'Sea Song' at this moment...... There should be a locator on the mask, which is enough for them to store smoothly. β
The girl's pupils shrank slightly.
"Even if you don't say it, but from the reaction, I can guess it......" Xu Qiansu sighed lightly and rubbed his eyebrows, "This little cleverness is far worse than Gardelia." β
Darkrai grabbed the yellow-black tentacles and directly pulled the electric shock beast violently out of the splint on the lower level, setting off a burst of rattling sounds.
It glanced at the slumbering Shock Beast, then looked into the distance with a sense of feeling.
A steel beast emerged from the night, breaking through the waves, its swarthy muzzles resembling those of a beast that had chosen to devour people.
On either side of the ship's walls, two crimson capitalized 'R' letters are printed...... Team Rocket's logo.
Xu Qiansu guessed correctly...... Reinforcements from Team Rocket came.
And their goal is not just to be satisfied with the mask of Creslia...... They want to control the rich and powerful on this luxury ship!
"Sakaki ...... Careerists, with courage and courage, would make this choice, and it is a matter of course......" Xu Qiansu looked at the battleship in the distance and muttered to himself.
Shuizhou City.
Hotel.
Gadelia sat on the bed and looked out at the inky darkness of the night.
She was dressed in a crisp white nightdress, and her long blond hair hung down on its own and spread out on the bed.
The phone is horizontally on one side, and the screen on it is on...... It is the chat interface between her and Xu Qiansu in Line.
Of course, at this moment, there is only the long sentence sent by Xu Qiansu.
Gardelia did not reply to the message.
She looked away, rolled over and got out of bed, put on her gown, stepped on her boots, walked out of the room, came to the hallway, stood in the door of the next room, and knocked on the door.
Crunch.
The door opened, and Lulina appeared behind it.
"Jia, Miss Gardelia?" When Lulina saw that it was Kaldelia, her heart jumped.
"You're afraid of me?" Gardelia's voice is languid and soft, sounding like a light nursery rhyme.
Lulina hurriedly shook her head, "I just didn't expect you to knock on the door...... Are you hungry? Shall we go down to dinner? β
Lulina felt that she should take control of the words, so she warmly invited.
"Don't be afraid...... So why is your heart beating so fast? Carelia ignored Lulina's question, nodded her chin, and asked curiously with a bit of innocence.
"Because you... It's beautiful, and you're the Four Heavenly Kings...... Identity is here, and it is inevitable that there is some tension. Lulina stretched out her little hand and scratched the side of her face, and said with a haha.
Her reasons are also completely valid, firstly, she is not familiar with Gardelia, secondly, she did not expect Gardelia to come to her, and thirdly, there is an identity gap...... So I felt a little nervous, and it was reasonable to say.
Gadelia put her hands behind her back and crooked her little face, "Listen to Su, you are a very famous model with great talent. β
"Huh? Did he praise me like that? Will he still boast about people? Lu Lina was slightly stunned, and for a while, she didn't put her mind on covering up for Xu Qiansu, but asked with a little surprise and praise.
Still ignoring Lulina's question, Gadelia asked, "Someone like you who often appears in public must have been trained to overcome nervousness, right?" β
As soon as these words came out, Lulina instantly fell into an ice cellar, and the two seemed to be chatting back and forth, but in fact, Gadelia had always been holding on to her panic at that moment.
What's going on with this Gardelia? Obviously looks innocent and cute......
No, don't panic, Lulina!
Although Gadelia is the Four Heavenly Kings of the United Nations, you are not bad! You are a top-notch model, the owner of the Water Boat Gym!
And now that there is obviously no clue that there is anything happening in Gardelia, we must not panic and show flaws!
Lulina smiled embarrassedly, "Instinctive reaction, like a sharp object approaching the eye will blink, even if I am trained, it is impossible to completely eliminate the nervousness, I used to be nervous when I went on a blind date, sometimes I felt nervous. β
Lulina had never been on a blind date, and she couldn't have been nervous about it.
Gadelia bowed slightly, agreeing, "Every time Su walks up to me, I feel my heart beat faster......"
Lu Lina breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it seemed that she had been confused for the time being, and she must grasp the initiative of her words next.
But Gardelia turned to ask, "Su said, if you have something to do, you will come back later...... Do you know the details? I'm a little worried. β
Lulina nodded in her heart, finally here, it is normal for Gadelia to be confused and worried.
"He was in the ring this afternoon and met a Darkrai...... That Darkrai belonged to Joy's investigator, and Xu Qiansu's blue crow was specially trained by her, so Xu Qiansu thought about going to the blue crow with Joey...... As for where they went and what they did, I don't know, but I guess it's the result of the special training of the Exquisite Blue Jay. β
Lulina felt that she had said it seamlessly, and she had told the truth ninety percent, and the rest of the lies were covered up with something she didn't know, and Gadelia didn't have to ask even if she wanted to.
It's me, so smart.
"Are you worried that Xu Qiansu will be seduced away by Joey or Marly?" In order to divert the topic, Lulina decided to talk about gossip.
Gardelia shook her head slightly, "He won't do that." β
"You're so confident in him?"
"Hmm."
"How can you trust each other so unreservedly when you are in love? What if I suffer a loss? In this way, when Xu Qiansu comes back, how about you test him? β
"Test? Why? Gardelia frowned slightly.
"Of course, it is a test of whether he truly loves you and is honest with you." Lulina breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it seemed that the topic had been bypassed by herself.
It's me, Lulina, do a beautiful job, let Xu Qiansu that guy look down on me.
"Inexplicable." Gadelia shook her head slightly, "He doesn't actually love me, the person he likes is Marry, but he chose me, and because of this, he won't betray me...... That's the kind of guy he is...... And I love him, I love him to the core, and when I decide to test him, I can't call him a ...... Love, or it should be pure. β
Lulina was slightly stunned.
Although she didn't understand well, what a nice person and what a lovely girl...... Xu Qiansu, that guy actually said that she would kill an entire ship...... What nonsense.
Must be deliberately scaring me!
At this moment, Gadelia suddenly asked faintly, "After so much talk, can you tell me, what exactly did I do?" β
Lulina's pupils shrank.
Gadelia glanced at her and reached out to pull her long hair, "These little cleverness of yours are far from being as good as Su...... But you don't have to say it, he must not have told you, I'll read minds......"
After that, the corners of Jiadelia's mouth hooked, and she smiled indifferently, "Although I deal with you, I don't need to read minds." β
As the words fell, Gadelia stepped lightly, past Lulina, and jumped directly out of the window, and flew towards the dark sea.
Lulina stood stunned until Gadelia left, unaware.
It took a few minutes for her to react when the evening breeze from the window wide open made her feel a little cold.
Lulina closed the door, then crouched down in place, her hands covering her little face.
"Terrible! It's horrible! Why is there such a terrible woman in the world!? β
