Chapter 251 It Seems Like an Old Friend Has Arrived
It is delirious, attacks ordinary people, possesses immense strength, and disappears at dawn.
The more Wei Xin listened to the old woman's description, the more suspicious he felt.
"Why does it look like a rice dumpling has come to life?"
"Zongzi, a traditional food of Donghuang?" Korni was taken aback at first, then a look of horror appeared on her face, as if she had thought of something. "So the meat zongzi that you Donghuang people eat—"
There's also claypot rice, sliced beef and tripe in chili sauce, and wife cake!
Uh ~
"What are you thinking?" Wei Xin glanced at Korni. He wasn't from Guangdong, so how could he possibly make a move on a sweet and soft Fujianese? "The zongzi I'm talking about refers to zombies, vampires, mummy-like creatures that can move. But these things are usually caused by Pokémon."
It's not uncommon for Pokémon to control humans. Pokémon like Hydreigon, Brimwyn, and Malamar are examples. Ghost-type Pokémon like Gengar also have the ability to possess others. Looting can use ghost energy to control others and find coins for itself.
Even Tao Dailang from Beishang Township can use special toxins to control people's minds and bodies.
I wonder what kind of Pokémon will be causing trouble in western Hunan this time.
"I see." Korne wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
"Auntie, have there been any strange rumors circulating in western Hunan lately?"
"There are so many rumors about Xiangxi. This place has been unsettled for a long time, but they are all just unfounded rumors. As someone who has been there, I advise you to explore Xiangxi for a while, experience the local customs and culture, and then leave as soon as possible. It's better to leave these matters to Miss Officer Jenny and the Alliance to handle," the aunt advised.
"Also, it's best not to go out at night, as you might encounter unclean things."
"Alright." Wei Xin didn't press further. The waitress was just an ordinary person, and they couldn't expect to get any more useful information from her. The Xiangxi incident still needed to be investigated by themselves.
Afterwards, Wei Xin ordered some dishes, and while waiting for the food and his companions to be served, he took a sip of the restaurant's tea.
To be fair, the tea might be good, but he can't taste the difference, so it would be better to switch to iced tea.
My gaze passed through the window, taking in the pedestrians coming and going on the street.
Most of them were residents, and many of them looked tired. Wei Xin checked their auras and found that they were not as active as normal people. Was it simply because they were tired from working overtime all night, or were they affected by the unknown Pokémon?
In addition, there are many travelers and trainers from other places in the city.
Most people in Donghuang have black hair, and those with white hair and youthful faces are very few. Therefore, it is very easy to distinguish people from other regions. As long as you encounter purple hair, blue hair, or rainbow hair—that's not it, that's a young man with a flamboyant and unconventional style—or blonde hair.
Blonde, white, and red hair always pique the interest of the people of Donghuang, and a mature figure adds a lot of points. For example, on the street, there's a woman with long blonde hair like a shield, her back to him. If it weren't for her more voluptuous figure, Wei Xin would have thought that Lillie had come along too.
And the white dress with gold trim that looked like a uniform, and the high heels on her feet—it felt like I'd seen them somewhere before.
Her profile view is very similar to Lillie's, and she has jewel-like green eyes, but she's a bit older than me—Shammy?
Wei Xin rubbed his eyes, trying to figure out if he was just obsessed with Lillie. How long had it been since he and Lillie separated? He used his waveguide to scan the area, and there was indeed a woman standing there.
Lusamine, who was on the street, sensed something was amiss and turned around abruptly, only to see a golden figure sitting in a private room of a restaurant next to her. Aura power, could it be Gladion?
She remembered Gladio practicing his spiritual cultivation on Mount Wudang in Donghuang.
Lusamine was slightly taken aback until the other person turned around and met her questioning gaze.
It was a girl; I didn't know her.
"What's wrong with the chairperson?" asked the female bodyguard in black uniform standing next to Lusamine.
"It's nothing, I mistook you for someone else."
Lusamine turned her head and looked at the stall selling local specialty jewelry in front of her. What should she choose as a gift for Lillie and Gladio? After hesitating for a long time, she sighed. She hadn't come to Xiangxi for tourism, so there was no need to waste her energy on this kind of thing.
"Pack one of each and deliver them to Gladion and Lillie for me. Oh, and have you confirmed the source of the information? That unnamed Pokémon."
In order to find information about possible Ultra Beasts in the Eastern Empire, the Ether Foundation has dispatched researchers to various regions of the Eastern Empire. Three days ago, a researcher in Xiangxi claimed to have discovered some special information. Although it was not an Ultra Beast, it was of similar value.
"Confirmed."
"Alright, call everyone together. We absolutely cannot let it escape this time."
"Master, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly change seats?" Korni looked puzzled. Could it be that there was some secret relationship between the woman from earlier and her master?
Could they be lovers? But the age difference is too big.
Or is it that the master likes all blondes?
"Ah, it's nothing, I just saw someone I know." After confirming that Lusamine's waveguide was far away, Wei Xin replied, while a great doubt arose in his mind.
Why did Lusamine come to Xiangxi? Could it be that the so-called Cave God is related to the Ultimate Cave?
The incident in Xiangxi was caused by an Ultra Beast. Wei Xin flipped through the Pokédex in his mind.
The Gluttonous King, the Paper Sword—could it be Nihilego Ito?
According to local legends in western Hunan, girls who are favored by the cave god usually end up in a daze, laughing foolishly at the caves in the mountains, and they also die young. Could it be that Xu Wu Yi De is behind this?
It's reasonable, but tricky. There are too many caves in western Hunan, and it's unrealistic to search them all.
"It seems we need to be careful in western Hunan," Wei Xin warned.
The Ether Foundation, an exploration team, and mysterious events whose truth remains elusive.
The waters in western Hunan are getting deeper and deeper.
"Oh!" Korne said obediently.
Wei Xin glanced at his phone. Mary said they had arrived at the door. He looked out the window again.
I saw the slightly upturned pointed hair on the black head, the delicate white face that exuded a coldness, and Morbeco rubbing his belly on his shoulder, looking hungry.
It formed a stark contrast with Cai Dou, who had white hair and dark skin, standing beside her.
"Mobe~" Morube slumped limply onto Mary's shoulder.
"Hungry again? Didn't I just feed you?"
"Mobe~" Morbe said helplessly.
That was just now, and now it's the present. It's easy to get hungry when you're out and about, unlike at home where Weixin always provides plenty of snacks—you know, if Weixin were in this city, how happy that would be!
Morubek twitched his nose slightly, sensing the familiar scent. He turned his head, and Mary also looked over, seeing a familiar face at the window, smiling at the two of them with the same joyful expression.
"Wei Xin!" Mary exclaimed excitedly, jumping up and down, attracting the attention of the others.
Besides the blond man in a blue taekwondo uniform with a Pikachu on his shoulder and a yellow taekwondo hat not far away, there was also Aya, who occasionally flexed her muscles and threatened passersby who wanted to hitch a ride.
Is this Mary's boyfriend?
She's not bad looking, and her figure is the kind that makes her look slim in clothes; I wonder if she has any muscles underneath.
But her attention was quickly diverted because she noticed that the blonde girl standing behind Wei Xin in the private room looked very familiar.
"Korne?"
"Little Rainbow Bean?"
Both of them exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
"What are you doing here?" Cai Dou asked in surprise as she stepped into the private room. She had heard from Mary that her boyfriend was a womanizer and had many girls around him.
Could it be?
Did he lay a hand on his best friend?
It's hard, it's hard, my fist is hard.
Cai Dou's arms were bulging with veins, and she clenched her fists so tightly that a chilling cracking sound echoed in the private room.
She glanced at the man beside her, who was embracing Mary and clinging to her affectionately.
"Marie, is it just my imagination? Your friend doesn't seem to like me very much?" Wei Xin felt a chill run down his spine.
"Who told you to come out to see me with other girls?" Mary said angrily, her little face puffed up under the black veil, wearing the hat Wei Xin had given her.
She had only been gone a short time when Wei Xin hooked up with another girl.
If you keep acting like this, I'll really have to find someone to put a love potion on you and keep you by my side.
"I only came to Xiangxi to cultivate with my master," Korni explained. "Let's not talk about this, Master, Mary won't be yours—"
She suddenly had a bad feeling that her stomach was already full before she even touched her chopsticks.
"Yes, she's my girlfriend." Wei Xin casually put his arm around Mary's waist, and Mary didn't resist. The two sat together.
Korne rolled her eyes in despair, guessing that she was about to be bombarded with dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). For the sake of her best friend's sleep quality, she reminded her.
"Rainbow Bean, remember to wear earplugs when you go to sleep tonight."
