"It's been a great time, welcome back."

"Well, good job."

Near the headquarters of the United Alliance, in the box of a tavern hidden in the deep alley, there was sparse applause.

Located at the end of the rugged Champion's Road, the tavern is not frequented during normal times, especially during the day when not dining.

The owner, who is also a chef, has no idea what to do outside, so all that is left is the ball of kapok that cleans the floor flutters lazily, rubbing rag-sized cotton wool between the leaves, and dusting off the dirt from the floor.

"It's really encouraging to be able to create such a wonderful victory without relying on elf battles."

A muscular man dressed as a martial artist got up from his seat and greeted the lingonberry who came to the door of the box, and said apologetically -

"I'm sorry, if it wasn't for the master's business, at least a good barrel of wine should be opened for you this time."

"There's no need for alcohol, Boss Lianwu, this kind of thing is a lot on the Royal Alliance." Lingonberry stepped into the room and bumped fists with the man, "What I miss most now are my reliable colleagues." ”

Lian Wu, the king of the fighting system of the United People, and the disciple of the Adike champion.

In the difficult situation of the semi-retirement of the champion and the "betrayal" of the alliance by the evil king, he gritted his teeth and withstood the pressure of all parties like Rejichkas who supported the sky with his shoulders in the myth, and maintained the reputation of the United Alliance.

"It's okay to say we're friends."

The round-rimmed glasses beckoned to teas, her short purple hair covering her ears, looking like a fluttering ball that hadn't evolved yet.

Wanlong, the ghost king of the United Public, is a popular best-selling author, and the initiator of this undercover operation.

When the United Alliance needed her, she was forever wrestling with deadlines, and when the Urging Editor approached her, she was always busy with the heavy lifting of the Alliance's affairs.

"You can explain to me what happened on the gambling ship when you have time, I don't want to miss out on such wonderful writing material." The Ghost Heavenly King took the note book and looked at the bilberry shamelessly.

"I remember that the plan for this operation was made with you Wanlong, right? Is it necessary to repeat it? Lingonberry shrugged and asked, "What's the use of accumulating so much inspiration?" Don't you have a popular work that is being serialized on the Internet, and the ending is still far away. ”

"Tsk." Jia smacked his lips unhappily, "The contiguous system itself is a symbol of bondage. A true writer should do as he pleases, chanting poetry in the morning when the sun rises, reading a fantasy and getting into the groove, until the typewriter becomes kind and lovable; Describe love in spring, write ghost stories in summer to cool off, write heavy history in the autumn wind, fantasize about the world a thousand years later in the winter quilt, carve heavy reality on a rainy night, and write bloody battles in the clear sun......"

"This kind of lazy writer can't write a word, can he?"

In the face of Wanlong, who was intoxicated by his imagination, the evil king attacked with ruthless words: "Don't use serialization as an excuse. Even in the past, when it was published in a single volume, you had the glorious experience of being forced by the editor to hide in the King's room and stay up all night writing the original manuscript, right? ”

Wanlong shuddered, and then shook his head violently: "Even if you use my black history to divert the topic, I won't be fooled!" Inspiration is inspiration, and the more the merrier! Maybe I'll use it someday. And when you discussed the plan with me, you hid all the tricks in the casino, and this time I want you to spit it all out! ”

"It's all a trick to deceive children, there's nothing to show off. The reason why the scam was successful can only be blamed on the stupidity of the people who fell for it, and everything that was done was within our expectations. ”

The Gambler Heavenly King was still reluctant to answer head-on, provoking a prickly look from the family.

"Lingonberry, three months ago...... What did you borrow my elves for? ”

In the deepest part of the room sat a blonde girl, wearing a beanie as wide as a cream cake, her eyes half-open as if she hadn't woken up.

It was this girl who questioned Lingonberry - the youngest of the Four Heavenly Kings, the superpower king, Gadelia.

A Poké Ball flew out of her hand, and through the translucent red part, a copper-green disc-shaped creature could be seen.

"This is the bronze mirror monster that Gomatsu gave me the last time I returned to Sinnoh." Gardelia yawned and said lazily, "Why did Lingonberry borrow it when she hadn't exercised yet?" ”

"Ah, it was borrowed on the day the turmoil at the Shippo Museum began, right? At that time, I ran an errand for you to go to Gardelia's villa, and it turned out that the important prop you mentioned was a Poke Ball with a Bronze Mirror Monster. ”

Lian Wu also looked at the bilberry with interest: "I'm also a little curious, why didn't you go through the Pokémon Center's teleportation system at that time, but let me send someone to hand over to you?" ”

"This Bronze Mirror Monster is very good, it helped me win my first bet with the Plasma Regiment." The Evil Heavenly King replied with a relaxed face, "If you teleport through the Pokémon Center, won't its existence be known to others?" It will also be recorded in the system of the Elf Center. ”

Lingonberry sat down next to King Lianwu and began to explain-

"Generally speaking, when people see me, they only think of fierce and vicious evil Pokémon, right? The same goes for the dark Triangle that monitors me. So when I suggested that gambling be used to determine my refuge at the meeting place, none of them could have imagined that I would use my superpowers to manipulate the game. ”

"I remember you were betting against the plasma group by guessing the coin, right?"

While recalling the details of the incident three months ago, Wanlong asked puzzled-

"Even if the Bronze Mirror Monster can use 'telekinesis', it would be too reluctant to make this Bronze Mirror Monster perfectly simulate the tossing and spinning marks of a coin."

In the middle of a game of Dark Triangle, the lingonberries and the ninjas toss coins ten times in a row. The two parties agreed that if the result of the throw was all face-up, the reward paid to the bilberry would be increased tenfold, and if not, nothing would be taken.

"As I said before, those are just tricks to deceive children, and the actual operation is much lighter than Wanlong's guess."

Rather than using complex telekinesis techniques to simulate the trajectory of a coin spinning in the air, it is better to gently flick it at the moment when the coin is about to hit the ground to determine the final direction of the coin.

The Bronze Mirror Monster does not control the coin the whole time, it only needs to apply "gravity" to one end of the coin at the last moment when the coin lands, and it can silently make the outcome of the coin toss appear completely reversed.

The fluctuations of the leaked superpower moves are even faint and imperceptible.

One problem solved, but another puzzle followed-

In order for the cheat to be realized, the Bronze Mirror Monster must be present with the Bilberry, how did this Bronze Pokémon, which can neither be invisible nor transform, escape the vigilant gaze of the three elite ninjas?

"This brings me to the real reason why I chose the Bronze Mirror Monster." The Evil King shook his finger and said, "The reason why I chose the Bronze Mirror Monster over the other elves of Gardelia is because it is the best at patience among the group of super-powered Pokémon. ”

"Best at patience?"

"Let's start with the robbery in Qibao City - after the first robbery, the Plasma Regiment moved the museum's collection to the Order's secret warehouse, but this was only a façade, and those important Order cadres were actually hidden in more hidden places. They thought their safe house was hidden, but my crowhead had already discovered the location of the hidden spot. That night, when the group was pouring out to launch a sneak attack on the Shippo Museum, I sneaked into the building and buried the Bronze Mirror Monster under the floor tiles in the center of the room. ”

In the turmoil of the museum, although after a whole night of searching, the Dark Iron Triangle failed to find the dark stone buried by the detectives under the floor tiles of the museum, so naturally, they could not guess that the floor tiles under their feet were also tampered with.

"A few days after the closure of the museum incident, the plasma group finally made up their minds and decided to accept my so-called 'surrender'. At this time, the police found all the warehouses where they had previously hidden the museum's collections, and there were only a handful of places that could be used for secret gatherings. So, naturally, I was invited into the most secluded safe room, where I discussed with the plasma group about future treatment. ”

The three ninjas never expected that the lingonberry, who had entered the building "for the first time", had already buried an accomplice at their feet.

Lian Wu showed a shocked expression, and Wanlong also opened his mouth into an O-word.

"This trick is very similar to Gomatsu's "swapping venues" tactic. Not...... It's a wonderful fate. ”

The superpower king looked at the Poké Ball with the Bronze Mirror Monster in his hand, and the sleepiness on his face was gone, replaced by a thoughtful expression.

"But there's still a problem." Miss Jia suddenly said critically.

"Unlike lingonberries, the bronze mirror monster buried in the ground can't see the front and back of the coin—even if you use "telekinesis" to perceive it, you can only sense the existence of a round object that is about to land in the sky. Through the heavy floor tiles, it is impossible to know the pattern of the iron sheet that is rotating. How can it be sure that the coin it changes will be a flower when it lands? ”

"It's easy."

An innocent smile appeared on the face of the lingonberry, as if it was really playing a child's childish trick. I saw him lift his toes and lightly tap the ground.

Stampede—there was an inaudible sound of footsteps on the ground.

"Every time I tap the ground with my toes, the bronze mirror under the tiles changes the direction of the coin."

That's it.
