Early the next morning, Zhao Chen got up as usual and opened the curtains, and saw that the entire Demon City was shrouded in mist.
After having breakfast with Wang Yuanyuan, the two got on the bus to the Magic City Stadium.
Wang Yuanyuan sat in the passenger seat and yawned, then turned back to Zhao Chen and said, "Today's game shouldn't be too difficult for you."
"I know." Zhao Chen nodded and responded.
"The Fighting Gym ranked last in last year's Gym Challenge. If I remember correctly, the Poison Gym ranked second to last." Wang Yuanyuan thought for a few seconds and said.
"You still have the nerve to say, if you hadn't neglected your duties, how could we have ended up like this..." Wang Feng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"Hehe, thirty years from Hedong and thirty years from Hexi, we are guaranteed to be in third place this year!" Wang Yuanyuan said with a smile.
"Let's finish this game first and then talk about it!" Wang Feng said.
During the conversation, the car also arrived at the Magic City Stadium.
Zhao Chen felt the humid air around him and said, "The first game is mine. I'll go backstage to prepare first."
"Go!" Wang Yuanyuan nodded and watched Zhao Chen leave. At this time, a car stopped behind him.
Immediately afterwards, a man in a black suit walked out.
Seeing the person coming, Wang Yuanyuan's eyes lit up and he said hello: "Hey, you came quite early!"
The man nodded and said: "Today's first match is our gym's match, so I came here to prepare early."
Hearing this, Wang Yuanyuan turned his attention to the handsome young man behind the man, who was Zhao Chen's opponent in today's competition, Wu Yifan.
…
At the same time, the Elf Center next to the stadium also opened its door and put up a sign saying it was open for business normally.
In the early morning, there were only three staff on duty in the Elf Center. In addition, the competition had not yet started and no trainer's Elf was injured, so the atmosphere in the entire Elf Center seemed very deserted.
Liu Xiaoyue yawned and returned to her workplace. Just as she was about to sort out the work materials she left behind yesterday, she saw her colleague Abin walking out carrying a breakfast.
"very strange……"
Seeing this scene, Liu Xiaoyue showed a puzzled expression on her face. Ever since Abin came back from going to the toilet late at night a few days ago, he seemed to be a different person. He behaved strangely every day, and even spoke strangely.
not enough.
At this time, another female colleague came back from outside carrying the breakfast she bought. Liu Xiaoyue took the breakfast and told her what she had just seen while eating steamed buns.
After listening, the female colleague curled her lips and said unconcernedly: "Who knows, maybe she is broken up in love? Some time ago, I heard that his mother-in-law, Shiliu, asked for a bride price of two million. With Abin's family situation, it is simply not possible.
It’s impossible to spend so much money!”
"Oh." Liu Xiaoyue nodded thoughtfully, then continued to eat the buns with her head down.
…
After Xuchang left the elf center, he took off the human skin mask on his face and went to a nearby public toilet.
As he entered, a circle of ripples suddenly appeared in the space in the toilet, and then, a dream monster came out of thin air.
Xuchang opened the door of the last compartment. Inside the door was a man with his hands and feet tied and his mouth gagged.
"For today's breakfast, I advise you to be honest. I don't want to hurt you, and you will be able to leave here soon." Xuchang threw the bun in his hand to him, and he did not leave until the man finished eating.
After putting on the human skin mask, Xuchang turned around and returned to the Elf Center. However, when he saw the figure at the door, he paused and then walked in as usual.
"Thank you for your hard work during the gym challenge." Ye Ziming put his arms on the counter and asked Liu Xiaoyue casually inside.
"It's nothing hard. Serving the people is what we should do." Liu Xiaoyue said with a smile.
Ye Ziming nodded, and immediately turned his attention to the man who walked in after hearing the footsteps.
After a while, the man walked into the background and disappeared from his sight.
Ye Ziming then continued to ask: "Have you found anything strange or... strange people around here these days?"
"Weird person?" Liu Xiaoyue's mind immediately pictured the appearance of her colleague Abin, but then she remembered what another colleague had just said.
She shook her head and replied: "No."
"Okay, please."
Seeing this, Ye Ziming nodded, turned and left the Elf Center.
…
Inner room.
Xuchang sat at his desk, looking at the blank papers in front of him and lost in thought.
After a while, while taking out a small box as big as the palm of his hand from under the bed, he murmured: "It's no longer safe here... It seems that the plan will be implemented in advance."
As he spoke, he opened the box, which contained a colorful stone: "Fortunately, the research on this [Super Stone] has been successful. Next, we just need to put it into the treatment machine at the Elf Center... Haha, Research Association
Those stupid guys, I want you to see how terrifying the real power of elves is!"
Xuchang had a crazy look on his face, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door behind him.
"Can we talk?" Liu Xiaoyue's voice suddenly came.
Xuchang woke up suddenly. He suddenly thought that there were other people in this elf center.
No! You can’t let them interfere with your plans!
Thinking of this, Xuchang took out a Poke Ball from his pocket, and a dream-inducing tapir appeared beside him.
"Creak!"
The door opened.
Liu Xiaoyue walked in with an anxious mood. She didn't know this colleague very well. If it weren't for this Gym Challenge, she might not have known Abin at all.
Just when Liu Xiaoyue was thinking about how to comfort Abin, she suddenly felt weightless under her feet, and then her whole body floated into the air.
Then, she saw Abin...and the dream-inducing tapir standing next to him.
As the hypnotic ring in the hand of the dream-inducing tapir swayed, Liu Xiaoyue felt a surge of sleepiness in her mind, and then she lost consciousness.
…
"Hey, do you have any clues?"
On the street, Lu Ning looked at Ye Ziming next to her and asked.
"No." Ye Ziming shook his head.
"..." Lu Ning was silent for a moment, looked at the tired look on Ye Ziming's face, and said, "You can rest for a day first, and let me visit the rest of the area."
"No." Ziming subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the next moment, he saw a girl with a neat ponytail running over from across the road.
Lu Ning smiled and said, "I knew you didn't want to! No, I specially called your sister over and asked her to take care of you!"
Ye Changxin ran up to the two of them and said hello: "Hello, Sister Lu Ning!"
"Take your brother to relax for a long time! His nerves have been tense these days!" Lu Ning said.
Ye Ziming:……
He was silent for a moment, then sighed, threw the things in his mind behind him, and said, "That's fine."
"That's right!" Lu Ning laughed.
"Where do you want to go?" Ye Ziming looked at Ye Changxin and asked.
Ye Changxin thought about it seriously and said: "Let's go to the stadium to watch the Gym Challenge! It just so happens that I don't have class today. After watching the game, we can rent a fire-breathing dragon and fly around in the sky."
