Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

In the end, Song Xiaomeng brushed it off with excuses like "Mu Yun is still young and should focus on his studies. He shouldn't be in a hurry to date now" and "She only comes over occasionally to keep an eye on things, afraid that Mu Yun might be seduced by some shameless bad woman and it would affect his future development."

I don't know if Liu Yingying believed it or not.

Anyway, Mu Yun felt that Liu Yingying hadn't believed him.

Even the way he looked at the two of them was filled with joy, as if he had found something interesting.

"Sister Liu, what should we do with these people?"

As the three chatted, Chu Weihe, who was standing to the side, looked at the corpses of those who had died from poisoning on the ground and asked a question.

They had noticed the situation as soon as they landed, but after a quick glance, they found that the dead elves were all caused by poison, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

If they were to die from a violent attack, or from being burned or buried alive, the two might need to consider whether Mu Yun had any underlying violent or bloodthirsty tendencies.

But if the death is due to poisoning, then it's fine.

After all, if a toxin is injected into a target's body, unless there is an antidote or a specific antidote, the only possibility is to wait for death.

Even Pokémon that use poison-type moves cannot remove the toxins from their target's body.

Therefore, neither of them paid much attention to it.

As an elf investigator, you deal mostly with wanted criminals and underground organizations. It's not uncommon for people to die by accident. This is just a minor incident involving street thugs.

"Contact the logistics and cleaning department. Clean up what needs cleaning, and sentence those who need sentencing. Holding Pokémon and engaging in gang fights in the suburbs should at least result in the revocation of their trainer's license and a prison sentence of more than ten years. All their Pokémon should be sent for re-education," Liu Yingying said casually.

However, the following words seemed to be addressed to Mu Yun and Song Xiaomeng, as if to tell them that they didn't need to worry about the situation of these people.

Without a trainer's certificate, even after being released from prison, they cannot legally possess Pokémon.

"Okay, Sister Liu!"

After receiving the instructions, Chu Weihe happily ran to the side to make a phone call.

"I'm going to interrogate the mole. Would you two like to sit aside or just watch?" Liu Yingying grinned and asked the two of them with a smile.

Although she was smiling, Mu Yun sensed a dangerous glint in Liu Yingying's eyes.

"Of course, I personally don't recommend watching it, but you can if you want."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun knew that the scene of Liu Yingying's interrogation was probably beyond what could be described as "simply turning off the recorder".

So, is the profession of Elf Investigator really that wild?

Torture and the like, without even needing to submit an application?

Mu Yun felt that he had gained a new understanding of the profession of Elf Investigator.

I just don't know if it's the job itself that offers a high degree of freedom, or Liu Yingying's position that's more prestigious.

"I won't go see it, Xiaoyun, what about you?" Song Xiaomeng seemed to have thought of something, her face turned slightly pale, then she grasped Mu Yun's hand and shook her head in refusal.

Mu Yun was initially quite curious, but feeling the slight sweat seeping from Song Xiaomeng's tightly clenched palm, he shook his head and refused.

The interrogation itself wasn't much to see; it was nothing more than physical and mental torture, coupled with bloody and cruel screams.

In comparison, taking care of Xiaomeng is more important.

"I'm not going either, Sister Yingying. We can stay here. You go ahead and do your work." Mu Yun took Song Xiaomeng's hand in his back, squeezed her soft little hand, and then shook his head at Liu Yingying.

"Youth is wonderful, you're always so sweet and loving."

Liu Yingying made a teasing remark, then waved her hand, signaling the Lizard King to carry the groundhog into the depths of the forest.

"Thank you, Xiaoyun."

Song Xiaomeng leaned against Mu Yun's chest; the strong heartbeat and the warmth of his palms made her complexion look much better.

"I've said it before, I've always been here!"

Mu Yun lowered his head slightly, leaned close to Song Xiaomeng's ear, and spoke in a calm and firm tone.

"Hmm~~"

The passionate breath in her ear made Song Xiaomeng blush. She hummed softly and then fell silent.

"That darn couple, publicly displaying their affection, how enviable!"

Chu Weihe, who was tidying up the scene with his spirit, couldn't help but think to himself when he saw the young couple leaning on each other.

Fortunately, Brother Mu was generous and gave him the gopher, bringing him one step closer to becoming a full-fledged employee!

Let them flaunt their love; life is about experiencing different things.

After a while, the blush on Song Xiaomeng's face faded, and Liu Yingying also walked out of the depths of the woods alone.

Mu Yun took a closer look and saw that the overall area was quite clean, except for some dark red dried bloodstains on the cuffs of the trousers. It seemed that the guy called Groundhog wasn't a tough nut to crack.

Just then, Mu Yun saw the Lizard King coming out from behind, carrying a groundhog.

Well, apart from being deathly pale, his face was basically unchanged, except that the silken threads enveloping him were stained blood red, indicating that he had bled quite a bit.

Unfortunately, the silkworm threads were wrapped around them, so they couldn't see inside. It's likely that Liu Yingying was worried that the two of them couldn't bear it, so she wrapped the silkworm threads back up.

"We found out the location. Besides him, there's another guy called Mad Rat watching over things. He's stronger than him and has one or two Overlord-level Pokémon." Liu Yingying took out a wet wipe from her breast pocket and said while wiping her hands.

"Sister Yingying, is that guy called Mad Rat also a member of the Heavenly Dragon Society?" Mu Yun asked curiously.

Isn't it called the Heavenly Dragon Society? Why are they all from the Rat generation?

"You even know about the Heavenly Dragon Society?" Liu Yingying glanced at Mu Yun, then said to herself, "This guy told me himself, didn't he?"

"The Tianlong Society's higher-ups all use the twelve zodiac animals as code names, so it's also called the Zodiac Society. Apart from that, the rest of the members use various animals as code names. Because they like to roam the wild, they are also jokingly called the Wilderness Zoo. However, they are also a well-known underground organization internationally."

"Of course, you don't need to worry too much. Since you gave the credit for the groundhog to Chu Weihe, your name won't appear in the official system's records. Unless the other side can break into the provincial capital's prison, you won't be implicated."

Liu Yingying gave a brief explanation, and finally reassured Mu Yun, indicating that he didn't need to worry.

The twelve zodiac animals? A zodiac festival? A wilderness zoo?

Mu Yun nodded and memorized the words.

"Xiao Chu, the mole and the scene are in your hands now. Remember to coordinate with the logistics department, and send me the mission report after you've finished."

After saying that, Liu Yingying looked at Mu Yun and Song Xiaomeng: "Let's go, let's go and come back as soon as possible, and help you get the elf egg first."

"Thank you for your help, Sister Yingying!"

"It's nothing." Liu Yingying waved her hand. "Come on up, at the speed of the tropical dragons, they can get here in half an hour."

..............................

Half an hour later.

On the outskirts of Songjiang City, there is a dilapidated factory that has been abandoned for an unknown period of time.

"That bastard, he takes so long to go out and play with a woman. Damn it, if it weren't for his good brother, he would have fallen for that two-ounce piece of meat sooner or later!"

In a relatively clean and spacious room in the factory, a burly man who was at least 1.9 meters tall was gulping down a bottle of strong green liquor, then slammed the bottle against the wall and cursed angrily.

Despite his higher status in the organization than that bastard, his cousin's connection with "Rat" has led this little Karami to act arrogantly as well.

Let him guard the factory alone while he goes out and has fun with women!

I really want to kick that rat-eyed guy!

Regarding the images, many of them are just mentioned briefly, so it's not convenient to put too many in one chapter. I will try my best to arrange them in the author's notes, but since only one chapter can be posted at a time, they will be placed separately.

that's all.
