A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

The helicopter did not land in the city, but landed on a hillside near the relocation site, leaving everyone behind before slowly departing. As it left, the pilot finally spoke his first words in a long time.

"Submit the task on your phone after you're done, and then a plane will come to pick you up."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Lin Xiaolin thanked the pilot, who nodded, and the plane slowly took off and left.

They checked their phones and saw that the city was not far from Qiancheng, about a half-hour walk away. So the seven of them slowly made their way towards Qiancheng.

They soon arrived outside the city, but instead of barging in, they called their contact.

Hello?

The voice of a middle-aged man came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, we are the 24th secret operation team, and we have now arrived at the south gate of Qiancheng."

"Okay, I'll come out to meet you right away."

After saying that, the other end of the phone hung up. Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a mask walked out from the south gate. Without saying much, Lin Xiaolin and the other seven followed him directly into Qiancheng.

At this moment, apart from Lin Xiaolin, Yan Fan, and Qin Lele, the other four people all wore masks and covered their faces with their clothes to prevent others from seeing them clearly.

Qiancheng is not small; it's even larger than Xingcheng, making it roughly equivalent to a second-tier city.

They didn't find anything unusual while walking through the city. The middle-aged man led the seven people through the side streets, and they didn't encounter anyone along the way.

They soon entered a secluded small building, and the middle-aged man finally took off his mask.

"I apologize, everyone, but due to issues arising from the city relocation, I am unable to openly welcome you."

The middle-aged man spoke apologetically to everyone, his face showing many wrinkles, indicating that he usually works very hard.

"It's alright, uncle, please tell us about the information you have in detail."

"it is good."

The middle-aged man took out his phone and began explaining to everyone.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Wang Cheng, the former vice president of the Qiancheng Trainers Association."

“Just last month, I received some information that ships would occasionally dock in the early morning, but I didn’t take it seriously and just thought they were normal ships going out to sea.”

"But just a few days ago, I received information from the underground black market, and the black market also had Pokémon eggs and Pokémon smuggled from Japan. I immediately started investigating."

"But I found that no matter how I investigated, I couldn't find anything. In the end, I could only secretly report it. But the day after I reported it, I was dismissed. Fortunately, you all knew about the report just before I was dismissed."

Wang Cheng gave a bitter smile; the man in his forties looked utterly sorrowful.

"Uncle Wang, we have the general information. Please tell us more detailed information about the underground black market and the like. Don't worry, we will definitely give you justice."

Lin Xiaolin spoke with utmost seriousness, and the others all nodded in agreement.

After Wang Cheng recounted some detailed information about the matter to Lin Xiaolin and the others, he left. After all, he was being watched by many people and couldn't expose Lin Xiaolin and the others.

As for this small building, it was left for Lin Xiaolin and the others to use as a temporary base.

The seven people sat at a worn-out little table, discussing matters together.

Lin Xiaolin looked at the documents in her hand and pondered for a while before speaking.

"We have three directions to focus on now. First, something's wrong with this underground black market; second, the president of the Relocation Association; and third, Wang Cheng."

Everyone looked at Lin Xiaolin with some confusion, and Lin Xiaolin patiently explained to them.

"The underground black market goes without saying. The relocation association president is also because of Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng is already the vice president of the association. The only person who can remove him from his position is definitely the relocation association president."

Finally, there's Wang Cheng. This Wang Cheng is very suspicious. Think about it, if you did something wrong and your secret was exposed, wouldn't you take action immediately?

Wang Cheng, however, said he had known about the news for several days and had even reported it before being dismissed. Of course, I might be mistaken, but it's always good to be prepared.

Everyone nodded as they looked at Lin Xiaolin.

“From now on, Xue Xixi and I will be in one group to investigate the underground black market, Qin Lele and Zhuo Xiaole will be in one group to investigate Wang Cheng, and Yan Fan and Chen Ziliang will be in one group to investigate the association president. Any questions?”

"No."

"Alright, let's get started now. Everyone must return to the base to exchange intelligence before midnight."

"it is good."

After saying that, everyone slowly began to leave. They did not leave together, but in groups. Yan Fan and Chen Ziliang were the first to leave. As for the information about the association president, they would have to rely on themselves to collect it.

About ten minutes after Yan Fan and the other person left, Qin Lele and Zhuo Xiaole also left, followed by Lin Xiaolin and Xue Qianqian.

Lin Xiaolin also took out a coat and draped it over her body to cover her entire face.

Wang Cheng gave them a very detailed map of the city relocation, which even clearly indicated where the alleys and side streets were.

The black market was located in a supermarket called RT-Mart in an area east of Qiancheng. Wang Cheng's information came from his men who happened to see someone suspiciously carrying an elf egg and walking out of RT-Mart when they were shopping there.

At first, I didn't think much of it and didn't stop them, but then I realized instantly that a supermarket wouldn't sell Pokémon eggs.

In particular, Wang Cheng retrieved the surveillance footage outside RT-Mart, which showed that more than a dozen people were carrying Pokémon eggs out every day. This was definitely strange, but for the time being, they couldn't go looking for those who bought the Pokémon eggs, otherwise they would alert the culprits.

Xue Qianqian was also different from usual, following behind Lin Xiaolin very seriously. She was wearing a coat, the hood of which covered her full head of white hair, and she was also wearing a mask.

The two walked along the path, occasionally passing through alleys, and soon arrived at the entrance of RT-Mart supermarket.

"You wait outside."

Before Lin Xiaolin walked out of the alley, he spoke to Xue Qianqian, who nodded.

He took off his hood and walked into the RT-Mart supermarket with a smile on his face.

If you're wearing a hat and acting suspiciously, you'll arouse suspicion.

There will be another update tonight, and the author is frantically writing. The fiber optic cable at home broke down today, and it took more than two hours to fix it.

Chapter 287 Surprise Attack!!

Lin Xiaolin entered the supermarket without anyone noticing anything amiss. She even took out a shopping cart and strolled around the supermarket, occasionally putting some snacks in the cart, just like any other customer.

While it appeared that Lin Xiaolin was selecting snacks, he was actually observing the entire supermarket. However, the supermarket was so large that he could only stroll around and observe at the same time.

According to the information, Wang Cheng saw that person in the Rice and Grain District.

Lin Xiaolin gradually walked to the rice section and began to select rice without making a sound.

He moved along, observing as he went, but to outsiders, it only seemed like he was choosing rice.

--------

That evening, everyone returned to the small building as agreed, but they were all speechless when they saw Lin Xiaolin carrying a large bag of things.

"Are you really going to buy it?"

Yan Fan stepped forward to help carry it.

"There's no other way! We can't just wander around inside aimlessly, or people will become suspicious."

Lin Xiaolin sighed. She had spent the whole afternoon in the supermarket and hadn't bought anything.

Sitting at the small table, they opened and shared the snacks Lin Xiaolin had bought during the day, and began to talk about the information they had obtained that day.

“Ziliang and I spent the whole afternoon staking out the location, but we were afraid of being exposed, so we could only wait outside the association. Around 6 p.m., the association president came out. We followed him all the way, but we found that he just went straight home, and that was the end of it.”

Yan Fan shrugged, speechless.

"Yeah, Xiao Le and I were in the same boat. We spent the whole afternoon following Wang Cheng, but all of Wang Cheng's actions were normal. We didn't find any useful information."

"Hey."

Everyone sighed; they hadn't gotten a single useful piece of information all day.

"Tomorrow we'll switch places. I'll go investigate the association president, and Yan Fan and Chen Ziliang, you two go to the supermarket. After all, it's not good for one person to go on a big shopping spree at the supermarket repeatedly."

"okay."

After everyone made their decision, they began to rest on the sofa. There were no beds in the small building, and the only place to rest was on a sofa. Fortunately, Lin Xiaolin had bought a few straw mats at the supermarket, which could solve their immediate problem.

------

"President, they've arrived."

At this moment, in the Trainers Association president's office, a man with a cold face held a glass of red wine and looked down at the entire city through the glass window.

"are you sure?"

"It's confirmed, it's him. The supermarket's security cameras captured his face clearly."

‘Click! ’

The wine glass was crushed in one swift motion, and the red liquid flowed from his hand.

"Hehehe, that's good. Let's take action tomorrow, no holding back, we'll wipe them out completely!"

"Yes!"

------

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaolin and the others were completely oblivious. Exhausted from a day's work, they had fallen asleep next to their Pokémon. After all, it was more reassuring to have a Pokémon by their side in such an unfamiliar place.
