The old man took off the headphones from his ears and still smiled in front of the guy who had no manners to cover his lens.
"Young man, do you have a problem with me?" the old man asked softly.
"Yes, as the coordinator, you should tell me what the test questions for the intermediate competition are, right?" Thirteen also said politely, and the noisy jumping farce behind him seemed to have nothing to do with them, the old and the young.
"Connector? Young man, did you admit the wrong person?" the old man asked doubtfully,
"I don't remember that there is a section to increase doubts in the rules. Are you trying to increase the difficulty of the game in disguise? If I complain, you will face endless internal disciplinary reviews." Thirteen still insisted on himself.
speculation.
"Congratulations, you passed the test, but do you mind telling me how you found me?" The old man stopped pretending. He was not convinced, but he just hated being scrutinized.
"The rules stipulate that the coordinator is not allowed to give any hints to the players, which is a tip in itself. The mandatory rules limit that the coordinator cannot even make eye contact with the players, which also makes the coordinator show unnatural reactions in unconventional circumstances.
For example, such a spectacular ethical thriller action movie is happening around you, and you can't even look back because of the rules, wouldn't it be easy to be exposed?" Thirteen said with an evil smile.
"Thirteen's bad fate, you have passed the test, come with me." The old man could only write the word "submit" to Thirteen, and led the four terrified players to a secluded rest area.
This is not a hidden area. There are tourists walking around not far away, but the contact person doesn't care. He opens his backpack and takes out the black metal box.
"The content of the intermediate competition is...catching monsters." The old man opened the box with a click. In the box filled with sea surface, sleeping quietly were four spheres composed of red and white hemispheres, with a dot on it.
"If my dog's eyes are not blind, could this thing be the legendary..."Digimon" Poké Ball?" Thirteen said with shame.
"Yes, this is your capture prop. When you catch the designated monster, put it into this ball. At the end of the intermediate level, the system will automatically read the data of the elf ball. If you put the designated monster in it, you will pass the level.
, if not, you will be eliminated." The old man read out the content of the competition.
"Catch monsters? Did I hear correctly? Isn't catching monsters a task that only investigators on the ground level are responsible for? Why are we asked to do such a dangerous task?" The monsters in Lin Xi's mind automatically equated with Mei Niang.
.
"You're not going to catch me, are you? But I'm just a dog. If someone passes the test, do you want to cut me into pieces?" Tong said with tears in his eyes as his whole body trembled.
"Calm down, there are many kinds of monsters, some are strong and some are weak. We are just human investigators. I believe the higher-ups will not look for people to abuse us." Jing Xiaoxiao comforted.
"By the way, we already have the elf balls, which one did you ask us to catch?" Thirteen had a bad premonition.
"That's it, Thunderbolt Rat!" The old man took out a pad and showed everyone the target monster.
The so-called Thunderbolt Rat is chubby, has short arms and legs, long ears, a folded thunderbolt-shaped tail, and two red dots on its small face. Apart from being covered in black hair, it is completely indistinguishable from Pikachu.
Even when he spoke, it was "Pika, Pika, Pikachu!"
"Can it be more fake? This is obviously a tanned version of Pikachu?" Thirteen's eyebrows twitched.
"The Japanese demon hunting investigator encountered the Thunderbolt Rat when he traveled to Brazil. He resigned when he returned home and created "Pokemon" to start the Pikachu money laundering plan. So in principle, this Thunderbolt Rat is the genuine Pikachu."
The old man said seriously.
"How unscrupulous are investigators? Either they copy Pikachu or they write "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". Is there anything else that investigators can't do?" Lin Xi's world view was messed up.
"Here are the detailed information about the Thunderbolt Rat. I advise you to research it quickly. Because there are only one black Thunderbolt Rat in the whole city, and catching one is one less. Whether you can pass the test depends on how fast you move.
I wish you good luck, and by the way, the title of the intermediate competition is 'Let's go! Pikachu!'" The old man handed the pad to Thirteen, stood up and left with his backpack.
"Come on! Pikachu? I'm super evolved!" Lin Xi complained helplessly.
"Super evolution is "Digimon", please don't confuse it with each other." Thirteen has already started to look through the data.
"How generous. This elf ball is actually a miniature space soul-locking tool. It has only been developed by the Underworld Bureau's research institute for a few months, and it has been put into practical use so quickly." Jing Xiaoxiao took the elf ball and started playing with it.
, "Theoretically, this thing can fit into a whale, isn't it awesome? I also participated in the design!"
On the way back, Thirteen has been reading in detail the relevant information about the thunder rat. This is a monster native to Brazil, which evolved from a jungle rat. They are extremely gregarious and have long been associated with humans.
The world merges into one.
There are three types of rat species. The yellow Pikachu is the lowest engineer rat as a worker rat; the black Pikachu is also the target monster of the thirteenth class, and is the knight version of the Thunderbolt rat species, which is a combat rat;
Pikachu is the most noble version of the entire clan, and there is only one in a clan. She is truly the Queen of Rats, in charge of the order and future of the entire rat world.
Their world is divided according to a strict hierarchical system, and they have thrived for more than 0 years. Their underground kingdoms can be found in major cities in Brazil, and they are also the most important part of the local monster community in Brazil.
Among them, Rio de Janeiro’s Thunder Rats are the largest, with an estimated number of over 100,000 in the city, but the Black Knight version only has 20 of them.
The relationship between the Thunderrats and the local demon-hunting organizations and the government is quite tense. After the forests they originally lived in were destroyed by economic development, they moved to the city and soon established an unknown underground kingdom.
They have unparalleled speed and can release hundreds of thousands of volts of electric current. They are a kind of little monster that is very difficult to catch. Every day, a large amount of food is lost in the city, and most of these are related to the Thunderbolt Lightning Rat.
The local demon hunting organization in Brazil has tried to carry out large-scale eradication operations against this kind of monsters, but the results have always ended in failure. The reason is very simple. There are too many of them, too fast, and too strong territorial awareness. They are all hostile to invaders.
Fight to the death and never retreat.
With such troublesome monsters, it is very difficult for the players to capture the generals among these monsters. However, it can be seen that the Brazilian government intends to use the opportunity of the Underworld Bureau to rent the venue for the event to completely eradicate these monsters.
A swarm of thunder rats in a city.
It's now lunch time, and although the designated restaurant still doesn't look good, the food still tastes good. Thirteenth Niyuan sat at the table, having a strategic meeting while eating.
"This kind of little monster can only be regarded as the lowest level. According to the combat value, even we can handle it. Why do you look so nervous?" Jing Xiaoxiao took the information and said while eating. .
"It's true that a single Thunderbolt Rat is not as difficult to deal with as imagined, but will such a social creature ever be alone? If there really is a fight and falls into a rat's nest, I even doubt whether the security procedures of the Underworld Bureau can be Rescue us safely?" Shisan thought as he drank the juice he was used to.
"Let's not play another game of luring a snake out of its hole, kidnapping a low-end little mouse, attracting the knight-level Black Pikachu out of its lair, and then fighting together." Lin Xi said disapprovingly, but all her teammates looked at her in shock. .
"What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?" Lin Xi's hair stood on end at the sight.
"No, it's because the way Sister Lin Xi spoke just now was like her benefactor, who was so...not so kind." Tong Wanyue said.
"What do you mean by not being so kind, and simply being extremely evil? This kind of wicked and smoky strategy has always been the patent of Thirteen. Lin Xi, it seems that you have stayed with this bad guy for too long, and you have been able to use his method. Let's think about it together." Jing Xiaoxiao felt sorry for Lin Xi, another good girl was poisoned.
"Lin Xi has already told me the plan, but from now on, I have an ominous premonition. What if someone beats us and catches all the Black Knight Pikachu? Then where should we go fishing?" Thirteen sighed.
"Isn't it possible? The rules limit that we can't use abilities during the day. We can only use pistols at most. Do you think someone can catch monsters with just a pistol?" Jing Xiaoxiao only thought that Thirteen's brain was showing off. Funny.
"What I'm worried about is... there really is a guy who can do this." The image of Yun Xiaobao under the moonlight emerged in Thirteen's mind. This unprecedented boss has become accustomed to playing with the rules of military training in unprecedented ways. If everything were thought of in a conventional way, it would not be a boss.
For example, for the task of finding a contact person, the boss and her God's Punishment Team came to a crowded square. Yun Xiaobao used an eye-catching method to search for the contact person. This was not in line with her style. She arranged her own nineteen The team members started firing into the sky from the central area of the square, scaring many tourists and vendors into jumping up and down, and then easily found the contact person who refused to leave.
This is also the rule trap of the contact person, that is, no matter what happens, they are not allowed to leave the meeting place during the mission time. The boss used reverse thinking to find the contact person, but this method was too cruel, causing an incident in the square A stampede occurred and more than a hundred innocent people were implicated and injured.
But the rules are the rules. They only need to find the contact person, but they are not responsible for the accidents caused by finding the contact person.
For the audience of investigators in front of the TV, the boss is back again. When she meets Thirteen, it is destined that only one person can successfully enter the finals.
