The game comes to reality! Start by tyrannizing Professor Oak

Seeing the flames burning in Lu Qiming's eyes, Chen Qi couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead.

Ruined.

His reputation in Wumuqi is going to be ruined.

Old Lu, when you end up on Officer Jenny's wanted list, don't blame me for not warning you.

Although, normally, trials exist independently and do not affect each other, however…

There are always exceptions.

Like his first trial, the trial space he entered, in that overlook town, Miss Joey remembered Chen Duo, and even remembered the photos Chen Duo had shown her.

Even before Chen Qi appeared, he had already left his mark on her memory.

"what?"

"Will the memories be preserved?"

After listening to Chen Qi's account, Lu Qiming regained some of his composure.

He didn't intend to provoke Officer Jenny.

He was only captured by Officer Jenny in Charizard Valley once, so he wanted to see if he could escape from Officer Jenny's watchful eye this time if he was prepared.

Chen Qi, who vaguely guessed what Lu Qiming was thinking, glanced at him silently.

Every look in his eyes seemed to say: No zuo no die!

Don't forget, this trial's mission is to survive.

Instead of teetering on the edge of self-destruction.

Of course, compared to Chen Qi's own plans, Lu Qiming's little act of courting death is nothing at all.

Being captured by Officer Jenny might actually give her protection, allowing her to survive more easily.

It might be a little miserable, but it's still a good way to survive.

"Oh! What a pity!"

"It's rare for me to play a villain..."

Lu Qiming sighed softly and slowly suppressed his impulse.

See this.

Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

We can't just stand by and watch Lao Lu go astray.

"Lord Ebony!"

Kogoro's voice came from outside the door.

Chen Qi and Lu Qiming exchanged a glance and instantly got into the zone.

"come in."

With permission, Kogoro pushed open the door and came in.

As soon as he entered, he saw Lord Ebony leaning back in a swivel chair, looking relaxed and carefree. In his arms, a little Charcoal Servant was clutching his clothes, snuggling happily in his embrace.

What an adorable mascot!

I never imagined that Lord Ebony was so kind-hearted, and that he even had such an adorable little creature as a pet.

In an instant, Kogoro felt that his understanding of Lord Ebony had deepened, and his image had become much more three-dimensional.

In particular, the way Lord Ebony unintentionally behaved reminded him of that other person.

For a fleeting moment, their figures even overlapped.

Lord Ebony must be the most favored executive by Boss Giovanni.

Otherwise, how could they possess the Charizard Mega Stone X, which Dr. Nanbo specially optimized for Team Rocket members?

With Lord Ebony in charge.

Their power in this ruined city will surely grow stronger and stronger, and one day they might even replace Team Galactic.

To become the true leader of this city.

What an honor it would be to become Lord Ebony's right-hand man.

For a moment, Kogoro's gaze couldn't help but fall on Lu Xingzhou, who stood solemnly beside the Ebony Flag chair with a respectful expression.

His eyes revealed a deep, undisguised envy.

Lu Qiming glanced at Kogoro strangely, and immediately became wary.

not good!

Someone is trying to take advantage of his position as his assistant.

Lu Qiming, not to be outdone, immediately looked back.

The scene fell silent.

"How's the investigation going on the matter I asked you to look into before?"

Chen Qi broke the silence with his voice.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro snapped out of his daze, respectfully lowered his head, and began to report the situation.

"Lord Ebony!"

"Based on information recently gathered by my subordinates."

"The people in this city should have all been evacuated long ago."

"This city is now a city of ruins and a ghost town."

"The Galaxy team must have appeared three months ago, after the city had just been thrown into turmoil and reduced to ruins."

"During this time, it seems that the people from Team Galactic have been secretly searching for something in this ruined city."

"We don't have detailed information yet about what exactly it is."

"However, our people have already begun to penetrate deep into the enemy's camp, and it won't be long before they are able to send back useful information."

"As for the unusual object you mentioned..."

"Our people haven't found it yet."

"Could you provide a more specific description of what makes this object so unusual?"

Upon hearing Kogoro's question, Chen Qi couldn't help but pause for a moment.

He was also curious to know just how unusual that object was.

That's why I asked you to help me find it, because I didn't know.

To save face for Wumu Banner, Chen Qi could only feign mystery and say, "When you meet it, you will naturally see that it is extraordinary."

See this.

Kogoro nodded seriously. Since Lord Ebony said so, there must be a reason. "Yes, sir. I will instruct the brothers to keep a close eye on things."

"I will report to you immediately if I discover any unusual items."

three months ago…

The timing Kogoro had mentioned earlier made Chen Qi fall into deep thought once again.

When they were in the Fire Dragon Valley, the Lost City they saw was still a bustling city. In other words, what they saw was the Lost City from at least three months ago.

When they entered the trial, time had already jumped, and they were now three months in the future.

Why has this city become like this, reduced to ruins?

"Have you investigated this thoroughly?"

"Well..." Kogoro's face showed a moment of unease, but he still managed to answer, "We don't know yet. As far as we know, the League and Team Galactic are also investigating the cause."

"However, we found survivors trapped in the air-raid shelter."

"We got some interesting information from them."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qi couldn't help but show a hint of interest.

He gave Kogoro a look that signaled to him.

Let him continue.

Chapter 157 A Vortex of Flames Filling the Sky: A Warning of World Destruction

"Three months ago."

"That is, before the city was completely destroyed and turned into ruins, there was a sky full of swirling flames that covered the entire city."

"That extremely shocking phenomenon caused quite a stir at the time!"

"It's being seen as a doomsday warning!"

"The Alliance, the Officer Jenny family, and the Interpol police all joined forces to launch an investigation."

"Ultimately, with the doctor's assistance in the investigation, a terrifying conclusion was reached."

"The spacetime of this city is filled with extremely violent energy, which has been compressed to an extreme and is on the verge of exploding."

"Once it erupts, its power will be no different from that of a nuclear bomb!"

"That's why, that very night, an order to evacuate the entire city was issued, and all the residents fled the city overnight."

"Overnight, this once bustling modern metropolis became a ghost town."

"Just as the entire city had completed its evacuation and dawn broke, a terrifying energy erupted from the city without warning. In an instant, thousands of buildings collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, the entire city was razed to the ground, turning into the ruins before our eyes."

Upon hearing Kogoro's account, Chen Qi felt as if he had personally witnessed the scene before Lu Qiming's eyes, and was deeply immersed in the shock.

In a single instant, the entire city was leveled.

What terrifying power that must be!

Indeed, calling it the end of the world would not be an exaggeration.

A bustling metropolis has simply vanished from this world.

Fortunately, all the people in the city had evacuated in advance and safely escaped this world-ending disaster.

However, that so-called doomsday warning, with its swirling flames filling the sky, sounds so familiar.

Chen Qi and Lu Qiming exchanged a knowing glance, simultaneously realizing something.

This can't be...

"Thankfully, this warning of a swirling firestorm was issued."

"That's how a terrible disaster was averted."

"Our people also got a message from the survivors."

"It is said that in the very last moment, just before the calamity erupted, a jet-black, fire-breathing dragon appeared from the vortex of flames hovering above the entire city..."

At this point, Kogoro paused, his gaze involuntarily falling on Lord Ebony.

Then he continued, "The black fire-breathing dragon roared at the people in the city who had not yet left, and the vortex of flames swirling above the city suddenly became agitated, as if it were about to turn into heavenly fire and fall."

"This prompted them to rush to the air-raid shelter for refuge."

"That's why they managed to save their lives at the last critical moment."

"The Galactic Team should have also received this news; they were also trying to find this black fire-breathing dragon that brought the doomsday warning."

After listening to Kogoro finish his story.

Chen Qi and Lu Qiming were completely stunned.

The sudden news was a bit too much for them to process, and they need time to digest it.

If the earlier warning of the swirling flames could be considered a coincidence, then the appearance of the black fire-breathing dragon, combined with the so-called dragon's roar, was truly remarkable.

Then it would no longer be a coincidence.
