This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 56 The Dark Cloud Behind the Crisis (1940, first order please!)

Area A station of the protected area, temporary command post for crisis in the Carlos Alliance protected area.

Thornton stood in front of a young ranger with a gloomy expression.

Two shallow scratches were left on his face, and there were more than a dozen scratches and abrasions of various sizes on the arm exposed outside the short-sleeved top.

Just after he returned from rescuing a group of students, he heard the worst news of the day from Musa.

Almost all the students were rescued safely, but only the most powerful chief student, who was put in danger specifically to save others, was left behind.

"That is to say, Mr. Lokai, this river has many branches in the middle and lower reaches, and the environment is very dangerous, right?"

After hearing the ranger's explanation of the map, he suppressed his anger and self-blame and asked.

"Yes, Mr. Thornton, the current situation is that there are crazy wild Pokémon everywhere over there, and even two Overlord Pokémon have fallen into such an abnormal state. The protected area and the alliance command headquarters The requirement is to do everything possible to control these wild Pokémon as quickly as possible, and wait for the alliance's large forces to arrive and track down the mastermind. Our analysis is that this is definitely not a natural accident, and a wild Pokémon was captured An artificial drug of unknown composition has been detected in the body.”

The patrolman named Luo Kai took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice against Thornton's aggressive aura.

"What about our students? Who will save them, and how?"

As a teacher, Thornton has never cared so much. He wants to know the whereabouts of Philio more than who is behind this incident.

"My colleague has already taken the signal receiver and headed downstream along the river. If he is still along the river, then we can at least obtain the signal of his locator. But if the locator is damaged, just rely on the mobile phone. It will be very difficult. After this river leaves Area A, mobile phone communication is impossible in most areas it passes through. Unless it is on the top of a mountain, even our patrols must be equipped with special communicators."

Taking out a map of the entire protected area, Luo Kai pointed out the areas where Philio might appear and explained.

"That is to say, what we need to worry about now is the no-man's land between Area A and Area B. Even if my students are unscathed, they may encounter wild Pokémon of unknown origin here, or go one step further. The criminals who caused this crisis, right?"

Thornton, who was already dark-skinned, now had a darker face.

He could already imagine all the dangers that Philio might encounter, and his heart ached.

He knew very well that although his student was very capable, he was still among young people and students. If he really encountered the culprit who could plan this disaster, he would not be able to fight back.

Thinking of this, he just felt that he couldn't wait any longer, and he was about to leave sullenly.

He had to find Filio himself.

"No, you can't go there, Mr. Thornton."

Luo Kai grabbed Thornton and spoke firmly.

"reason."

Thornton turned around, his eyes piercing Luokai's chest like a sharp knife.

"I understand you, Teacher Thornton, and I also know that you are very strong, but this task cannot be completed just because you are strong. If there are really criminals there, you would only alert them in the past. Our rangers are professional , they know how to hide themselves.”

Luo Kai looked straight at Thornton without being humble, and his words with reason and evidence brought him back to his senses in the impulsive state.

"I see, so I'll just wait here? What else can I do?"

Sitting heavily on the chair, Thornton felt a little irritable with anxiety and powerlessness.

"There are many things you can do. The most important thing is to protect the students and resettle them. Then, when the large forces arrive, work with us to find the murderer behind the incident, no matter who it is or how many people there are. , and let them pay the price.”

"boom"

Luo Kai slammed his fist hard on the map on the wall, and his voice was full of uncontrollable righteous indignation.

As a ranger, he hates villains who destroy nature and harm Pokémon and innocent people.

After working in Area A for many years, every Pokémon here, even every plant and tree, has his feelings poured into it.

-

To the south of Saluo City, an afterimage passed through the sky.

The speed of the Wrestling Eagle is so fast that it is almost impossible to detect it with the naked eye.

With one arm hanging on the Wrestling Eagle Man, Korni looked eagerly to the southeast, wishing that she could rush to the protected area in an instant.

"You will be fine, Philio, right? You can even defeat me! Wait for me."

Clenching her fist silently, she whispered to herself.

She was fully armed, and she was holding a set of outdoor roller skating equipment that originally belonged to Filio.

She always believed that Philio would turn danger into good fortune and then fight side by side with her.

-

Sala City, the branch of the Pokémon League.

An emergency advisory from the protected area has spread throughout the northwest region of Kalos.

The order from the alliance headquarters has also been placed on the table of all participants.

On the rostrum, Junsha, who is the commander-in-chief of the police force, gave an order, and the entire branch took action.

Saluo City, which had been peaceful for many years, once again started to operate at high speed like a sophisticated machine.

Among the first batch of teams to set off, in addition to the branch police team, there were also a few new faces.

One of them was not young, with thinning hair, and an undisguised murderous look on his face.

A purple figure who was originally naive, but at the moment was extremely eerie and terrifying, followed behind him step by step, exuding a frightening and domineering aura.

-

All the changes in the outside world, Filio is ignorant.

At this moment, he was sitting in the woods, taking a few hungry little guys to eat.

Whether it is a fierce battle or mobilizing the vitality of the body to repair the injury, it takes a huge amount of energy. Big Mouth Baby and Ibrahimovic are already hungry. Gurg grunt.

No matter how big the difficulty is, you must fill your stomach to overcome it.

Although no fire was allowed for safety reasons, the delicious elf food and energy cubes still made the three little guys full of belly.

Holding a piece of bread found in Ina's bag in one hand and a map in the other, Filio was eating while thinking about what he should do and how to do it.

During the moment when he was connected to Da Zui Wa's mind, he saw some vague memory fragments.

Big Mouth was once captured by some evil forces. The injury he suffered when they first met was not caused by the wild Pokémon, but left by that.

It is hiding from itself so as not to harm itself.

Although Pokémon's values ​​​​are simple, they are full of sincerity.

The most important question for Fillio right now is where these fragmented memories occurred.

"...If I'm not mistaken, my position may not be far from those bastards. This is really a first-class auditorium. In the entire Carlos, no one is in a better position than me. These bastards thing!"

Philio took a big bite of bread and said vaguely while chewing.

In the eyes shining with wisdom, a series of plans have begun to conceive.

-

"Qi Duo!"

Walking by the river, the big-mouthed baby held by Filio pointed in the distance, raised his head again, and reminded Filio.

"You mean, those areas where rangers are often present, you have to go there, right?"

"Qi Duo!"

"Well, okay, listen to you. We need to find a signal first, preferably a mobile phone signal. If it doesn't work, the signal of the locator can also be used. At least we can restore contact with the teachers. This used to be your home, right? Others Was your Pokémon captured by the bad guys who captured you earlier?"

"Chiduo! Chiduo!"

"Well, I understand, I will help you avenge your revenge. But we don't go directly to fight them. Such bad guys must be fully prepared to catch them all in one go, so we have to find a suitable place to pass the information back. You know Is there any place with higher terrain? For example, some highlands or something?"

"Chiduo. Chiduo!"

When the word "highland" was mentioned, the big-mouthed baby suddenly became very nervous, and his muscles became completely tense, and he subconsciously shrank into Filio's arms.

But thinking of what Filio said, it mustered up the courage again and pointed out a direction.

A place where bold and belligerent loudmouths would be so afraid

Come to think of it, there are only strongholds where those criminals are located.

Right, kill two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Filio gently comforted the big-mouthed baby and cautiously scouted forward in the direction given by it.

With the sound of "swishling", Filio gradually left the river bank and entered the woods.

"Stop, Eevee, Dream Demon, stay put."

Deep in the woods, everything was the same as before, but Philio suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The superpower, which was constantly investigating the surroundings, discovered a secret mechanism.

It looks like just a small area of ​​dirt, but it's actually connected to a set of combined mechanisms on the trees in the distance.

First, the crossbow arrows will be fired directly, then a large net will be raised on the ground, and then, some kind of volatile medicine will stun the surviving prey.

A complete picture gradually took shape in Philio's mind.

Relying on the pervasive investigation of superpowers and the analysis ability brought by the physical and chemical knowledge from previous lives, all organs have nowhere to hide in front of it.

Finding a thread that was so thin that it was almost imperceptible, Filio pinched it gently and gently pulled it quietly.

"click"

With a soft sound, the trigger state of the distant crossbow was quietly released.

"It just so happens that today's loss is not small, and it's cheap for me. They are all good things, including crossbows, crossbow bolts, special traps, and even volatile potions. Dream monster, Nianli, get me the nets and medicine bottles below. Come out, move lightly. It is unrealistic for law-abiding citizens like us to get this kind of thing, we should cherish the opportunity. Moreover, there are suitable objects not far away!"

There was a gentle smile on Philio's lips, the movements of his hands were steady and ruthless, and the murderous intent in his eyes was clearly visible.

"March!"

As he walked, he cleaned up or marked all kinds of mechanisms and early warning devices that were obviously carefully designed, and Philio became more and more frightened.

An evil organization that can accomplish things to this extent must not be some third-rate guy from a remote area, and its intention is definitely not as simple as messing up a protected area.

Team Flare.

A noun that had been dusty in memory for a long time flashed out again.

Has this already destroyed organization actually revived?

With doubts and hidden worries, and holding the baby with a big mouth who is becoming more and more frightened because he is unable to move, Philio walked towards the high ground where countless secrets may be buried.

-

Area A resident, dormitory for teachers and students of Salo College.

The students who are temporarily unable to leave here are all placed here, under the care and management of the teachers of the school.

"Teacher Lobe, Teacher Musa, is there no news about Philio yet?"

Outside the dormitory building, the three Antoine and the equally anxious Jaynes surrounded Lobe and Musa, asking about Phileo's situation.

Hours passed, their eagerness and anxiety building up.

Robe shook his head: "Not yet, we can only wait, but you can rest assured that the professional patrolmen in the reserve set off as soon as they got the warning, and they will definitely find Phileo."

Musa looked depressed, kept his head down, and said nothing until several people left dejectedly.

Although he had tried his best, he still felt very guilty for not being able to bring all the students back.

-

"Is it really Team Flare? These people don't even bring any clothes to change. It's really arrogant. But it's okay, so we can have a chance."

The secret stronghold of the remnants of Team Flare is located outside the high ground.

In the woods, Filio was hiding behind a big tree.

This happened to be the blind spot of the two guards.

Seeing the remnants of Team Flare blatantly wearing red combat uniforms coming in and out, the anger in his heart began to rise and surge.

This terrifying place aroused deep fear in the big-mouthed boy's heart, and he did not dare to move at all.

"Booy."

Ibrahimovic quietly crawled to the big-mouthed baby, stretched out his small flesh pad, rubbed its cheek, and comforted it.

"Do you want to go back to the elf ball? It's safe there. I'll release you later. Dream Demon and I have to go around it now. The target is too big and it's inconvenient."

Looking at the two little guys in his arms, Filio said softly.

"Buy!"

"Qi Duo!"

Knowing that they could not help, Eevee and Big Mouth nodded repeatedly and returned to the elf ball on Filio's waist in the red light.

"Okay, Dream Demon, just like we have practiced before, use illusion cover and make good use of the environment."

After poking Dream Demon's back, Filio made several gestures to pass on the investigation plan.

"March!"

The little dream demon nodded vigorously, the bead string on her chest glowed faintly.

As early as half a year ago, it worked with Filio to hone its ability to use light and shadow illusions.

This ability, originally used for pranks and scares, has now become an excellent tool for investigation.

-

[Outside the base, there are 7 people on the open post, 5 people on the secret sentry, 3 people on the ground in the woods, and 2 people on the underground. 】

[There are 13 investigation and warning organs, trigger type, and sound alarm. 】

[There are 4 monitoring probes, no blind spots on the front. 】

[There are 4 guards at the main entrance of the cave and 2 guards at the secret passage in the back mountain, all underground. 】

On the notebook, lines of text quietly emerged, the handwriting was elegant, but the content was very important.

Super power detection, illusory cover, without knowing it, Philio passed through the sentry that even the quasi-king Pokémon and trainers had difficulty passing, and passed through the blind spots of the light and dark guards and the coverage of the surveillance probes lurking outside.

In less than an hour, he had walked the front of the mountain where this secret stronghold was located, and it was indeed heavily guarded.

But that's just the front.

As the main body of the stronghold, there are almost no personnel patrolling all over the mountain.

It's reasonable to think about it. Although it's not the "majestic peaks" of the Northwest Mountain Range, it's just a slightly steep highland, but if you really want to patrol without dead ends, it is absolutely unrealistic for such a secret base.

What's more, for strongholds that require concealment, it is meaningless to guard against them outside, and it is easy to expose flaws.

"Dream Demon, illusion interference, three seconds."

"March."

After a brief low-pitched exchange, Filio ducked and moved from behind one tree to another, just blocking the detection of the surveillance probe.

Then, he walked forward quickly and quickly climbed to the top.

"Ding Dong"

The cell phone signal has recovered somewhat.

Lying behind a big rock and watching the members of Team Flash hurrying down the mountain, Filio dialed Thornton's communication without hesitation.

-

Below Filio, the secret stronghold in the cave.

The remnants of Team Flare who were having a meeting didn't know anything about Philio, the "little tail" who had quietly lurked near the stronghold.

Now they were having a heated argument.

After the rout and the disappearance of their leader, who was arrested shortly afterwards, Team Flare is no longer what it once was.

The scale has been reduced sharply, funds are scarce, and intelligence capabilities have also been severely weakened.

Knowing nothing about the advance patrol of the protected area and the advance study tour of the Sala Academy is an important manifestation of inadequate intelligence work.

By now, the protected area and Salo Academy have been alarmed, and soon there will be the intervention of the alliance branch and even the international police organization. The early exposure of this secret stronghold is a foregone conclusion. No one can solve it. They can only find ways to reduce it. losses, and evacuate as soon as possible to avoid annihilation of the entire army.

The two leaders, the top cadre, Akebi, and the senior cadres in black cloaks have reached an agreement, but most of the cadres still have different opinions.

An imposing young woman stood up, stepped forward, pointed to a map with an accuracy no worse than that of the reserve, and said loudly:

"I have been lurking in this protected area for two years. I am more familiar with every plant and tree here than all of you. It is not close to Area A and Area B. I can guarantee that no traitor leaks information, at least within a week. Even if the alliance surrounds the entire area, they will not find us. We can collect data and materials calmly, retreat slowly, and leave no trace."

"Berti, you are right, this place is very hidden, but hiding cannot solve all problems." Another gloomy man also stood up, pointing the laser pointer in his hand at several small corners of the area, his words were merciless, "If we don't leave as soon as possible and the alliance deploys control at the several points I marked, we will become their meal. It's just the difference between eating it early and eating it later. What's the use of hiding then?!"

"Oakley, you!"

The young woman raised her eyebrows and was about to explode.

"boom"

"Okay! Both of you sit back for me!"

Akabi slammed the table and stopped the two people who were about to have a conflict.

Seeing them reluctantly sitting back to their seats, the black cloak cadre said unhurriedly: "The retreat must be done quickly, but we need to wait for the final data to come out and set off tomorrow morning. Before that, put all the preparations Do all the work well, get rid of all the traces that can be dealt with, and destroy all the things that can't be taken away. Are there any other questions?"

His tone was calm, but he seemed to have a certain calm and authoritative temperament.

The two grumpy cadres heard his arrangement. Although they had some different opinions, they did not dare to say anything more and just lowered their heads silently.

-

"Where is Philio now?!"

At the resident of the reserve, Korni fell from the sky and saw Thornton who called out Phileo's name on the phone.
