Chapter 399 The Crimson Sun's Worries, The Chosen One
"Mr. Shangzhi, how did you know the Galaxy Team was about to make a move?"
Before Xiaozhi could even ask a question, Xiaogang expressed his own doubts.
"After all, bards always wander around places where information is frequently exchanged."
Mr. Shangzhi chuckled.
Although he always seems so calm and collected, as if he only ever finds solace in nature and the beauty of mountains and rivers.
But those who truly understand bards naturally frequent the streets and alleys of big cities, and the corners of taverns of all sizes.
Their job is to bring "legends" and "romantic" stories to the world, and the role of bards can only be best played in places where crowds are surging.
“Yesterday at the tavern in the southern part of Lily Town, there were two strange people recruiting employees, but they didn’t specify what the job was, only mentioning that the pay was very generous. Several trainers in the tavern went with them.”
At this point, Shang Zhi's tone became serious and cautious.
"At first I didn't think it was related to Team Galactic, but I felt something was off, so I followed along."
"And then you witnessed the transaction?"
"more or less."
Shang Zhi plucked the strings again, and this time the music was much more urgent than before.
"Of course, my following them was discovered, but they didn't dare to alert them here, so they ignored me and ran away. The travelers who almost joined the Galactic Team were also terrified."
Ash: "......"
After listening to Shangzhi's account, Xiaozhi roughly understood what had happened.
In this light, it's no wonder that when the League faces the Galaxy, the Galaxy's average players always surrender as soon as they see the situation turning against them.
They are much easier to deal with than the Rockets.
They use deception, coercion, and enticement to expand their ranks, telling them where to go and what to do in every operation, but never providing them with any useful information.
"Have you already spoken to Miss Officer Jenny?"
"Of course, after all, I can't be like the legendary heroes who fight against an entire villainous group all by myself."
Shangzhi stopped plucking the strings and just joked about it.
Ash: "......"
Why do I feel like their misunderstanding of me is getting deeper and deeper?
"Oh, right, the story of the Dark Hero who captured Darkrai is very popular."
"So you're spreading this too!!"
"The bards are all singing its praises; this is a very rare subject."
.......
at the same time.
In a dimly lit room on the continent of Sinnoh.
"How's the plan going?"
Chi Ri sat upright in the chair, looking somewhat tired.
After his identity shifted from being behind the scenes to being in the open, many of his actions became inconvenient to continue.
Even his spies in the league, which he had planted long ago, have now been almost completely eliminated by Cynthia.
"Everything is proceeding smoothly according to plan." Zhenxing's tone was very calm, but his eyes still revealed a deep worry. His boss hadn't slept for almost three days.
Aside from drinking some water, he didn't eat a single bite of food during that time.
If things continue like this, Zhenxing is even worried that Chiri's body won't be able to hold out until the day the plan is carried out.
So after thinking about it, she decided to suppress the news that the Galactic Team's recruitment of "cannon fodder" had been accidentally discovered by outsiders, and only chose to report good news to put Red Sun at ease.
"The Alliance remains unaware of our intentions. Our multi-front forces will be fully deployed in another week. At that point, with a single order from you, all troops will be able to assemble at Mount Tianguan within three days, equipped with all the necessary 'elements'! Then your grand vision—no, the grand vision of the entire Galactic Team—will surely be realized!"
Zhenxing lowered his body as much as possible, his tone full of respect, and a determined and fanatical expression appeared on his face, unseen by anyone.
"Then, I look forward to that day."
After so many days, Chi Ri finally received this good news and was clearly relieved.
In the darkness, Chi Ri stared blankly at the figure that had followed him for so many years, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
The entire Galactic Team?
Chi Ri couldn't help but think.
He loathed humanity as a whole.
Even the Galactic Team, which he created, is the same.
Team Galaxy, on the surface, seems to be the group that carries his wishes.
To put it bluntly, he was merely a prop made of money for his use, easily replaceable.
Even for those cadres like Zhenxing who had followed him for so many years and were completely devoted to him, it was the same.
Perhaps when the new world is created, he will take them with him in a moment of high spirits, but Chi Ri guesses that he will most likely choose to leave them here.
They are also human beings, a race they despise.
No matter how well they try to hide it on the surface, Chi Ri can still see the inherent flaws in them, in all of humanity.
Only he himself has the right to reach that paradise.
The new world he painstakingly created would not allow any impurities to sneak in and pollute that pure land.
"Only those who are destined—"
Chi Ri's usually calm eyes seemed to tremble slightly when he spoke of fate.
Only then can we reach the end, and that person will definitely be me!
"Yes!"
Zhenxing bent down again, his tone firm.
Only Chi Ri himself truly understood what he was thinking.
These past few sleepless nights would be meaningless if they weren't stemming from worry.
When exactly did these emotions begin to arise in his heart?
Even when he was at odds with Cynthia, with the entire Sinnoh region, or even prepared to be at odds with the whole world and all of humanity, he had never been so flustered.
Because he always believed that he was the chosen one, the only one in the world.
until.
If you're capable, give it a try.
Chi Ri turned his back, not letting Zhen Xing notice the madness in his eyes.
In Chi Ri's mind, Ash's image suddenly appeared.
Team Galactic's operations were thwarted by that brat several times.
If it weren't for him, Chi Ri wouldn't have taken such a desperate gamble, choosing to resolve everything with such a risky blitzkrieg.
The one who gained Arknom's favor.
He was also the first person to see through his true identity.
If there's one thing that worries Chi Ri right now, it's probably just him.

P.S. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! QAQ!
