"What's going on?"
Kaede Sato was a little speechless when he saw that these three people actually came over to ask him for money and attacked him without giving him time to explain.
However, he soon realized that something seemed to be wrong. He felt that the timing of these three people's appearance was a little too coincidental.
Seeing that the three people had begun to shrink the encirclement around him, Kaede Sato, who did not have much time to think, naturally would not sit still and wait for death. However, he did not choose to send the pixie to fight back this time.
As there were many people around, these three people did not dare to let the pixie use any dangerous moves to attack. They just chose to let the pixie stop him. This was also an important reason why Kaede Sato did not choose to send the pixie to fight back.
Therefore, under the command of Kaede Sato's telepathy, the Pikachu tail on his shoulder suddenly shone brightly. In an instant, all the creatures around him who were staring at Kaede Sato suddenly covered their eyes in pain.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kaede Sato directly went into the crowd around him. Then, when those who were temporarily blinded by Pikachu's flash move regained their normal vision, Kaede Sato had already slipped away.
When the red-haired girl and the two young men saw this, the three of them suddenly looked at each other, and their expressions quickly became ugly. They quickly entered the crowd to look for traces of Kaede Sato, but Kaede Sato seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. They just could not find him.
Soon, the three of them seemed to have noticed some people around them looking at them with disgust. When they saw a few Alliance law enforcement officers walking in this direction, their expressions suddenly changed. They did not dare to stay there for long and quickly left in a certain direction.
It was somewhat intriguing that the direction in which these people left was actually the direction in which the middle-aged man had left.
"That's something. A series of traps. However, judging from the reactions of the surrounding people, these guys have been fishing here for some time. Moreover, they seem to have some power. The surrounding people don't dare to provoke them."
At the same time, Kaede Sato, who was wearing the Shapeshifting Monster's Common-Face Human Skin Mask, was among the crowd. He used his Psychic Probe to detect the three of them as they left. After pondering for a while, his face quickly showed an understanding expression.
If Kaede Sato's guess was correct, the middle-aged trainer and the red-haired girl were in cahoots. The middle-aged trainer was just a smokescreen. The red-haired girl and the others who were pretending to be victims were the real deal.
Kaede Sato was thinking that if he had not chosen to escape just now, the following plot might have been like this.
The red-haired girl and the two young men would eventually apologize for mistaking Kaede Sato as a liar. They would then use the identity of a victim to deceive his trust. Then, they would invite him to go on an adventure in the abandoned power station.
Once he agreed to enter the abandoned power station with these people, there would be two outcomes waiting for him.
First, if he behaved like trash during the adventure, these people would immediately devour him until nothing was left.
Second, if he performed well during the adventure, he would be tricked by these people to fight for the treasure. After using him, they would dispose of him.
Subsequently, Kaede Sato thought about it and decided not to find these people for the time being.
He began to use his Psychic Probe to detect the surrounding crowd, trying to find Tie Xuan and some people he knew. However, to his disappointment, there was no trace of Tie Xuan and other acquaintances among the crowd and the Alliance's law enforcement personnel.
"It seems that Tie Xuan and the others have entered the abandoned power station. Moreover, the magnetic field interference inside is very strong. I can't even get through to the communicator."
Kaede Sato did not find any trace of Tie Xuan and other acquaintances, so he tried to continue to contact them using the communicator. However, after realizing that he could not get through, he suddenly thought to himself helplessly.
Just as Kaede Sato was using his Psychic Probe to search for Tie Xuan, the red-haired girl and two young men were standing in an open space surrounded by dense trees nearby. The three of them had been looking down at the ground, as if there was something terrible in front of them. Their whole bodies were trembling.
After a while, another three young men, whose age was the opposite of the red-haired girl's, appeared here. They were also a group of two men and one woman, but the three of them were different from the red-haired girl's group. There was a hint of joy on their faces.
After another ten minutes or so, there were already fifteen people gathered in the open space. At a glance, it was obvious that these people had undergone special training. They were neatly arranged in the open space, and there were two men and one woman in each row.
Among these people, most of them had a happy expression on their faces. Only a few of them were as nervous as the red-haired girl and her two companions.
Soon, a burly man in the Lava team's uniform walked out with a gloomy face. At the same time, there were a few people following behind him. One of them was the middle-aged trainer who had been in contact with Kaede Sato before.
When these young people saw the burly man, the whispers in the scene immediately disappeared. Then, everyone revealed a serious expression. When some of them looked at the burly man, their faces were even more fanatical.
"Now, I announce that those who passed the test just now and those whose names were not read can go back."
After glancing at these people in front of him, the burly man took out a list and said with a cold expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, he began to read the names recorded on the list.
Those whose names were called by the burly man naturally beamed with joy, while those whose names weren't called were full of worry.
The red-haired girl and the two young men seemed to be very lucky. Although they messed up the test just now, they were not eliminated because of that.
After a while, there were only twelve young people standing in the open space. Then, under the command of the burly man, they began to quickly change into the same style of uniform. This uniform was exactly the same as the one worn by the Alliance's law enforcement officers at the entrance of the abandoned power station.
That's right, the Lightning Bird had also attracted the covetous attention of the powerful underground organization, the Lava team. However, most of their main forces were still focused on Gulado, so this time they only sent a special elite team to investigate the situation.
The fifteen young people in the open space were the special elites of the latest batch of members recruited by the Lava team in the Kaina City branch base. If there were no accidents, many of them would become the spies that the Lava team would send to other organizations in the future.
Now, under the guidance of their instructors, they were carrying out some special social practice. One of the tests that they had to complete in the next few days was to cooperate with each other in deceiving others.
Judging from the situation in the past few days, most of them had done well and successfully deceived many people. Then, they quickly improved their strength.
"Next, the real test is about to begin. We have to snatch the thing that the Lightning Bird is guarding before the Alliance. Even if we can't get it, we can't let the Alliance get it."
After the Lava team members in front of him changed their clothes, the burly man said to these outstanding subordinates that he had taught with a serious expression.
"Yes, we will complete the mission."
As soon as the burly man's voice fell, the Lava team members began to rub their palms and responded one after another.
