Elf: I am the adopted son of Sakagi

"So you are the trainer from Viridian City that Xiaoxia mentioned."

Mercury let go of Li Jia's hand and responded with a smile: "I didn't expect that something would happen to Miss Li Jia just after arriving in Yuhong City."

"I'm also curious as to why someone would attack the gym at exactly this time."

Although both parties seemed happy on the surface, there was a hint of wariness in their eyes.

Mercury suspected that Li Jia had an informant at the entrance of Yuhong City. Knowing that he and A Xing had arrived, she deliberately put on a show for him.

What Li Jia suspected was why the young man in front of her had just arrived in Yuhong City, so it happened that the gymnasium was attacked and she rushed to the gymnasium in time to provide support.

"Haha."

"Ha ha."

As if at the same time, both of them laughed.

Mercury and Lijia are not fools, and they can clearly see the distrust between the two parties, but it is precisely this distrust that can prove the innocence of the other party.

Two good people can't fight each other, and they can't let the werewolf watch and laugh from the sidelines.

"Let's get acquainted with Li Jia, the gym leader of Yuhong City."

"Jiwan City, Mercury."

Now that there is a basis for understanding, both parties can relax a lot, and exchanging information is naturally the first thing to do.

Li Jia invited him to sit down, showed off her superb tea ceremony skills, and asked: "I wonder what you think of the current situation?"

"Not optimistic."

Mercury has said before that the main responsibility of the gym trainer is to guard the city.

But now even the city's biggest protective umbrella has joined Team Rocket, so there are many shadows lurking behind the glamor of these cities.

Li Jia handed the teacup to Hui Hui, stared blankly at the harmonious landscape in the courtyard for a moment, and then said: "Indeed. The Yuhong City you see now is full of singing and dancing on the surface, and there seems to be nothing unusual about it. But as a native of Yu, I People in Hong City can clearly know that this city is asking me for help."

"Actually, I can't really believe you yet. After all, the gym leaders of Joban City and Qianhong City, your father and your master are currently missing."

As Li Jia spoke, she poured the brewed tea into the tea set and pushed it in front of Mercury.

Mercury did not refuse. He took the tea cup and took a sip, "Understood."

"But I believe that Uncle Sakaki and Master Aju are fighting for the alliance."

Li Jia was noncommittal, but did not repeat her previous words, and instead said: "Since Xiaoxia chooses to believe you, then we have a basis for cooperation. After all, our goal is the Rockets, right?"

"Yes."

"I can use my eyes to help you find the elf named Dream, but at the same time, I also hope that you can help me investigate Yuhong Game City."

"Yuhong game city?"

When Li Jia mentioned Yuhong Game City, disgust flashed in her eyes.

"Yes. Although the name is Game City, it is actually a gambling base. Since its establishment, countless residents have been killed and bankrupted."

"I should have stopped it a long time ago, but at that time I had just taken over as the trainer of the gym, and I was so understated..."

Mercury understands Li Jia's mood. Gambling, once a weak-willed person is tempted, will step into the abyss and never look back.

Betting on a dog that he will never change his life is not just talk.

But what does any of this have to do with the Rockets?

Facing his confused look, Li Jia explained: "I have investigated Yuhong Game City for a long time, but I only found out that the investor behind it was a man named Apollo. But this man has disappeared in the Kanto region for a long time, and I doubt him. It's just a chess piece on the surface, the real controller is the Rockets."

If it was the Rockets, that would make sense.

With such a large organization and so many members, it is impossible to work in vain.

Labor cost is a huge expense, and there must be income, so the casino that makes money every day can explain this.

After figuring out the key, Hu Hu nodded and said, "I understand, but you must have done a simple investigation. I hope what I did is not simple."

It is convenient to talk to smart people. Li Jia clapped her hands, and the maid who had been waiting aside came in holding a uniform.

"This is the uniform of the game city staff, and the identities have been arranged. I hope you can explore the interior in depth."

It seems that he has been prepared for it, but this is probably still a test.

Mercury stared at Li Jia's calm appearance, and felt in his heart that this woman was too sophisticated.

But he would not refuse at this time, and took over the black uniform generously, "I hope you can do what you promised."

"Of course", Lijia replied with a smile.

……

The arranged identity is the outfield service staff.

The welfare benefits of Yuhong Game City are very good, and many people use relationship operations to stuff relatives and friends into the pit.

The foreman at the outfield was not surprised by this. He waved his hand and asked Hui to take charge of an area. He mainly explained the rules of the game to the guests, or notified the maintenance staff if a bug appeared in the machine.

After Mercury came in, he discovered that the hierarchy in the game city was so strict that outside employees had no permission to enter the internal office area.

But this certainly won't trouble him. Although the office areas are different, the bathrooms are shared.

Finally, when the internal staff came out to use the toilet, Hu Hu quickly reported to the foreman and followed him.

The internal staff member was relieving the stress of the day when he had no idea that someone would hit him with an idea.

Mercury walked into the bathroom slowly, and remained calm when he saw the target. He pretended to take off his belt for convenience, and even made a special space for him.

But what makes people feel weird is that his shadow actually lengthened and got closer to the target.

The sudden appearance of the ghost made the staff member's eyes widen and he was startled, but before he could shout, a hypnotic spell made him fall asleep successfully.

"Thank you, Guisi."

"Jie."

After praising Guisi a little, Mercury dragged the staff member into the inner compartment and changed into his clothes.

Without the continuous release of ghosts, the hypnosis can only last for about an hour. I hope to find clues within this hour.

Taking out the access card, Mercury slowly passed the gate of the inner area.

The foreman in the outfield area was still reading his watch and muttered: "Does it take so long to go to the toilet? You're cheating on your first day at work. Young people today are really..."

The internal area is obviously much stricter than the outfield area, with black-clad security guards patrolling almost every once in a while.

Fortunately, they seemed to be just doing errands and had no habit of questioning people when they saw them, so they allowed the mercury to pass through safely.

But faced with so many offices, he really didn't know where to go.

Just when Mercury felt helpless, he found something in his pocket moving.

Mercury once tried to throw away the spoon of fate given by Nazi, but every time, the spoon would return to his pocket again.

After trying many times to no avail, he had given up and just used it as an extra prop.

But he didn't expect that a reaction suddenly appeared now. The obviously bent spoon reminded him of what Nazi said: "Whatever you want to pursue, the spoon of destiny will guide you there."

"Is this telling me where to go?"

After thinking carefully for a moment, he finally decided that it was better to believe it once than to wander around like a headless fly.

But what was the purpose of Nazi giving him this spoon?

They have a hostile relationship, and Mercury can never figure out what she is thinking.
