Set the time slightly forward ten minutes.
Accompanied by blue light, Xu Qiansu and his Pokémon appeared in a dim corridor.
Pickpocket Cat and Wrestling Hawk looked around warily.
Judging from the design drawing, the underground research institute is not very big. Rather, from a structural point of view, it should not be called an underground research room, but an underground prison...
Except for the large reception room in the center, there are small rooms all around.
Haas, must be in the reception room.
But in order to be wary of hidden hands, Xu Qiansu did not teleport directly in, but planned to use Chilulian's telekinesis to detect from the outside first.
Xu Qiansu looked around, confirmed the direction, and was about to leave, but found that Chilulian turned to look at an iron door not far away.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qiansu raised an eyebrow, thinking that Chilulian had noticed something strange.
"Lianli..." Chilulian's amber horns that looked like hair accessories moved slightly, and she looked at Xu Qiansu with inexplicable sadness in her eyes.
Xu Qiansu frowned slightly, picked up Qilulian, and walked towards the iron gate with some surprise.
She held Xu Qiansu's collar tightly and said nothing.
The corridor was very dark, and it was even darker inside the iron door. Xu Qiansu squinted her eyes slightly. After her vision adjusted to the darkness, she could barely see a Pokémon lying inside through the window on the iron door.
"Snow...witch." Xu Qiansu murmured to herself.
After hearing Xu Qiansu's voice, after a while, the Snow Demon Girl reluctantly raised her head and looked at the iron gate.
"Nai Nong..."
Her voice was weak and weak, with a hint of hope and grievance.
The blue light flashed slightly, and Xu Qiansu teleported into the iron door.
As he got closer, he discovered that the Snow Demon Girl was covered in bruises, withered, and was tortured to the point of death. There was a special chain tied around her waist, which seemed to be able to suppress the incorporation of her being a ghost.
"Pucha." The wrestling eagle man's hand lit up with white light, and he cut off the chain directly.
Xu Qiansu squatted down, took out the wound medicine he carried with him, and said softly, "I will take you away soon."
"Nai Neng..." The Snow Demon Girl shook her head, stretched out her hand tremblingly, opened her palm, and found a ball of crumpled paper in her palm.
She was so weak that she carefully opened the ball of paper, and then looked at Xu Qiansu with hopeful eyes.
"Nai Nong..."
Chilulian hugged Xu Qiansu's neck tightly, trembled slightly when she heard the words, and then used her light blue telekinesis to condense a few words in the air.
These are the Chinese characters that Xu Qiansu taught Qilulian. He hasn’t taught them many characters yet, so there are only a few characters.
"At the beginning of the year, scratching, hurting, wanting to know, believing..." Xu Qiansu read out softly, and then lowered her eyes to look at the Snow Demon Girl.
She was arrested at the beginning of the year and tortured for a year. The huge pain made the Snow Demon Girl a little confused and she could no longer read...
Xu Qiansu carefully took the crumpled and faded paper, and immediately remembered something.
He sat on the ground, leaned against the wall, gently held the Snow Demon Girl in his arms, and then released the pumpkin spirit.
"Cha~"
The dim light inside the pumpkin spirit dissipated some of the darkness, making the Snow Demon Girl feel the long-lost warmth.
Wrestling Eagle Man, Pickpocket Cat, Kirulian, and Pumpkin Spirit surrounded Xu Qiansu. Under the dim warm light, it seemed as if Xu Qiansu was going to tell them a bedtime story.
Xu Qiansu gently touched the Snow Demon Girl's little head and whispered:
"My, lovely little snow witch, are you okay at home? Have you eaten well? Have you slept well? Have you learned to play with your mobile phone? My hands are sore from writing to you all the time... But, yes The sourness of happiness, hehe."
"Do you miss me? No, you have to miss me...forget it, don't miss me too much."
"I'm fine here, don't worry."
"I completed several tasks and made some achievements. My husband gave me a lot of bounty money and deposited it into my account."
"You buy yourself some beautiful accessories and some elf food that you are reluctant to eat on weekdays. You dress up beautifully and eat and drink well. I am happy."
"By the way, leave me some money. When I come back from Kanto, we can repair our little home. I also want to open a Snow Demon Girl coffee shop in Galar and plant a few of your favorite orchids at the door. "
Thinking of this, Xu Qiansu paused, pursed her lips, stretched the paper with her fingers, and after a while, continued to read:
"Don't blame me for not bringing you here. What I do is not a job that can see the light of day. Mr. Sakaki is a man with great ambitions who can make people willing to follow him..." Xu Qiansu was slightly startled, and then continued to read.
"But for me, I just want to make more money here and make your life better."
"Being my Pokémon makes you feel wronged."
"I miss you."
"I often remember that when you were a snow boy, I fed you fire elf food that you didn't like because of my lack of knowledge about nurturing. Fortunately, you didn't blame me and even held you in a bath. As a result, the bathtub froze. I am always looking forward to your evolution into a Hyou Demon Guard."
"It wasn't until you came into contact with the Stone of Awakening by chance that I realized that you were a girl like me."
"But you still don't blame me."
"I left in a hurry this year. Don't blame me. When I make more money, our lives will be easier in the future."
"Although Mr. Sakaki looks cold, he is actually very humane. He told me that when this year's tasks are completed, he will let me retire and give me a large pension."
"I miss you so much."
"wait me back."
"My, cute little snow witch."
"Yours, love you Scarlett."
After reading, Xu Qiansu silently put down the paper, only to see that the Snow Demon Girl had leaned motionless in his arms, tears sliding down her cheeks and finally falling on the chain around her waist.
The Snow Demon Girl shouldn't have kept these tears.
She should have had a plain, unique happiness.
The Snow Demon Girl's body was battered and weak.
Knowing the content of the letter was her obsession to persist.
Fortunately, this world is not that bad after all.
Xu Qiansu gently stroked the Snow Demon Girl's back, feeling the faint temperature and heartbeat.
He whispered: "Wrestling Eagle Man, Pumpkin Spirit, you two take care of her here, I will be back soon."
"Pucha."
"Cha Cha~"
Xu Qiansu put down Snow Demon Girl, left the room, and said to Kirulian: "If you find any other Pokémon that are still alive, please tell me."
"Leanne."
Xu Qiansu picked up the pistol and walked towards the reception room.
He didn't walk fast, but until he reached the door of the reception room, Kirulian didn't tell him that there were other living Pokémon here.
Xu Qiansu stood in front of the door, silent for a moment, and then pressed the doorbell.
Click.
A man in a white coat appeared behind the door. The first time he saw Qilulian, ecstasy appeared in his eyes. Then at the second glance, he saw Xu Qiansu and the dark muzzle of the gun.
"!? Xu Qian..."
boom!
The man in the white coat showed unspeakable horror in his eyes, but after he uttered two words, blood started to flow from his forehead, and the body was kicked away by Xu Qiansu.
Haas's face changed suddenly, and as soon as his hand touched the Poké Ball on his lower back, he saw a bullet piercing his arm on the spot.
Xu Qiansu stepped over the body of the man in white coat and walked over coldly.
Haas's heart sank. Only then did he realize that it was Xu Qiansu!
How could it be Xu Qiansu! ?
He survived the assassination! ? How did you get here again! ?
How could he appear here! ?
There were thousands of questions in his mind, but Haas was about to kneel down in an instant. He had money and power, and Xu Qiansu was not afraid of the conditions he offered. As long as he could speak, there would be talks. As for revenge, we would talk about it later!
But Xu Qiansu didn't give him this chance.
He raised his hand and shot Haas in the chest, blood seeping out of his elegant suit.
"Uh-Xu Qian-"
Haas's eyes almost bulged from their sockets, and blood foamed at his mouth.
Before he finished speaking, Xu Qiansu kicked him to the ground.
Xu Qiansu stepped on his chest, instead of killing him with a single shot, she picked up the wine bottle on the table and smashed it violently, then held the pieces...
✿
In the ward of the Pokémon Center.
Ma Li leaned on the pillow and looked out the window until the sun set and the moon rose. Night fell and the moonlight fell.
Click——
The door opens slightly.
Xu Qiansu walked in.
Ma Li turned her head to look at him, her expression calm.
The pickpocket cat was held in his arms, jumped onto the hospital bed, and then slowly lay down in Ma Li's arms, gently licking its paw fur.
She asked: "What have you been doing?"
Xu Qiansu thought for a while, then smiled and said softly: "Just relax a little."
