"Hehe, it's nature. The so-called god and legend of this god and that legend are, in the end, just a few powerful Pokémon. Asking those guys to monitor the world all day long is too difficult for a strong man. ”

Meydan put down her teacup and leaned back in her chair casually, holding her arms in a sneering gesture.

The old professor squinted at the Zhulan champion, as if waiting for the mythological scholar to fight back.

However, his opponent has no intention of fighting back.

"Hmm. Judging by the current records, we really haven't found such a Pokémon yet. From a mythological point of view, Arceus, who is known as the creation spirit of the Sinnoh region, may have such abilities, but we are also not sure whether this magical Pokémon is real. What are its capabilities? Is it the true God who created the world? Nothing is conclusive, and there is no point in arguing about it. ”

For Zhulan, the statements in Meidan's mouth that questioned the existence of the gods had been widely discussed by scholars in various fields decades ago, and there were both voices of support and opposition, and there were neutral voices, that is, no one could come up with conclusive evidence.

It wasn't until several major events over the years that the movement of legendary Pokémon was unequivocally observed, and the scales of theism and atheism began to tip a little towards the former, and the debate of the century began to emerge – but only a few clues were found.

The argument without actual evidence on both sides is like a castle in the air, and Zhulan didn't want to waste time in such a place, so she said straight to the point-

"Mr. Medan. When we visited, Miss Zina had mistaken Junsha and I for your guests, but we were uninvited today, and we didn't even know who was staying in the mansion until we met them. So I think Mr. Medan must have another important guest today, right? ”

"Huh?" Xena, who was serving tea and water on the side, showed an embarrassed expression of messing things up, but Mei Dan shook her head disapprovingly-

"It's just to entertain the owner, it's all guests."

Looking at the white research coat that the owner of the foreign pavilion was still wearing at this time, he recalled that Zina had said that the owner of the museum was working in the basement, and Junsha on the side was interested-

"The gold lord? Could it be that someone is sponsoring some kind of research that Mr. Maidan is doing? ”

"Hmm." Mei Dan nodded, "It's the founder of that Hayden Pharmaceutical Company, Mr. Hayden from Zhuqing City." I can't reveal the content of the research, after all, it is some kind of academic secret. ”

Zhulan had never heard of this name and was still drinking tea silently. Now it's Junsha's turn to be surprised-

"Greetings to Hayden in the city! That's a big man, Hayden Pharmaceutical is a world-class large enterprise, involving the development of drugs and medical appliances, and has outstanding achievements in the field of vaccines. A big boss of this level must have several well-staffed hospitals and research institutes to be used, so why would he ask someone to conduct research in the deserted Baidai Forest? ”

"Hehe, this person, once he becomes famous, he can't do what he wants like before. Sometimes when I am forced to have no choice, I can only rely on my old classmates to help. ”

Medan replied with a smile, but there was still a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

I don't know if he meant something in his words, or if he was born to speak so yin and yang.

"In this way, Mr. Maidan used to be a classmate of this Hayden. Now you're in this mansion, helping him with some research that he can't do in person? Junsha pretended to be casual and tentatively asked, "Shouldn't it involve illegal acts such as illegal drugs?" ”

"If you are so worried, Officer Junsha will bring someone to search here another day, the equipment and materials are here, I have nothing to hide."

Medan spread his hands indifferently.

"Can you tell us about the research?" Zhulan was also a little curious, and asked on the side.

"No comment." The owner of the foreign pavilion immediately sank his face, but then he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "But if you want to visit the research room, I won't stop you." In short, this research topic alone must not be disclosed to outsiders. ”

A research site is casually censored, but resolutely reluctant to reveal the content of the study? Junsha and Zhulan are both a little confused.

After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't think of an answer, so the police officer had to continue to ask: "In that case, why did you come to such a remote place to do research?" Why don't you want to hide in this kind of western-style pavilion wrapped in woods? ”

Medan smiled his trademark mean smile and pointed at the champion of the Sinnoh region with his chin: "Hehe, this is a question for the believers of these myths and legends." ”

It turned out that Professor Medan and his patron Hayden's research began more than a decade ago.

At that time, Medan's overly atheistic views offended many academic authorities and forced him to take early retirement from Coastal University, where he had taught for many years. It was at this time that he received an invitation from his old classmates, so he simply gave up the academic battlefield against the gods completely, and went silent to carry out a secret research sponsored by Hayden in his own home.

However, the world is unpredictable. Just when the name Meydan was almost disappearing from everyone's memory, a sneak attack from the past hit the retired scholar like a "future prediction" move used by a superpowered elf.

Ten years ago, as a staunch advocate of atheism, Maidan had participated in many public speeches and debates, and even appeared on several television programs. Although none of the scholars and experts at that time could come up with enough evidence to make a final decision, it is precisely because of this that the most heated arguments often occur on both sides of the debate

When there is no convincing basis. In the war of words with his opponent, Mei Dan naturally has a place where he does not choose to speak.

Two years ago, Mr. Medan's mocking theistic remarks were dug up on the Internet.

"Hehe, thanks to the impatient efforts of you mythologists, the Sinnoh region has now become almost the private domain of theists. Even the little kids, who were still in school, began to compare and contrast with the restored images in the Elven Illustrated Book, saying, 'This is the God of Creation,' 'This is the Patron of Time and Space,' 'This is the God of Nightmares,' and 'This is the King of the Pillars,' Yunyun...... In such an atmosphere, those guys will naturally be furious when they suddenly see a bad old man on the screen of their mobile phones, advocating these arguments against theism. ”

The old professor sighed: "At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, but after a few days, I found out that I had already made a name for myself on the Internet." It's as if the whole world has listened to my speech, and even when I walk down the street, people point fingers at me...... Damn, I couldn't have been able to achieve that kind of popularity ten years ago. ”

Junsha approached Zhulan and asked in a low voice, "Is there really such a thing?" ”

The champion thought for a moment and nodded, "I seem to have seen similar news a few years ago, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Perhaps that's when I heard Mr. Medan's name. ”

If Hugo had been here, he would have happily explained the details of the whole turmoil, and that guy never missed any gossip on the Internet.

"Of course, if it was just the past show videos that were seen, I wouldn't have moved to this kind of place. The problem is that after that, I started to be harassed by my old adversary, the fanatical theist. ”

At this point, Maidan looked disgusted.
