Lu Yi arrived near the gopher cave more than two hours later. It was already early morning on June 6.

He thought a lot on the way, mainly around the question that Ah Lei finally answered to him. ——When the latter discovered the Overlord Pokémon, it was immersed in eating.

There was one detail that Lu Yi couldn't figure out, which was the relationship between the location where Alei's friend's backpack dropped and the location of the giant creature.

Generally speaking, if his friend is hiding behind a rock like him, then after being discovered and attacked by the Overlord Pokémon, he should turn around and flee backwards. Assuming that he gave up the weight of his backpack while running, it should also show that the backpack was in the same direction as the giant creature's pursuit, that is, "rock → backpack → giant creature".

The three should be distributed on the same side and in the same line. This is consistent with the behavior of the escapees!

But Ah Lei only discovered the backpack when he was preparing to escape. In other words, the point where the backpack fell was behind the rock, which was the blind spot of the giant creature's vision.

Then it is difficult to figure out the situation of Ah Lei's friend at that time. Why did he drop his backpack in the blind spot of the other party's field of vision? Where did he go during this period? Lu Yi must go to the scene to investigate carefully!

……

"Brother Lu, the rock I was hiding in should be right in front. Please wait a moment and let me look for it..."

After successfully reuniting with Ah Lei, Lu Yi quickly asked him to lead the way, and the two climbed a high mountain on the east side of Kuye City.

Lu Yi probably knows this place, because in the game version of Fire Red and Leaf Green, if you go further east, there will be a Kirby sleeping in the middle of the pontoon, blocking the player's way.

The surrounding mountains are areas that cannot be explored by players in the game. In fact, the extended territory is still very far.

Lu Yi followed A Lei and observed Gaoshan's surroundings.

This is a barren mountain with few supplies. No wild elves were seen along the way, not even the trees that blocked the view.

Ah Lei walked ahead according to the route in his memory, but because he was mainly looking for people before, his movement track was not regular. In addition, it was dark, so it took him a long time to find the boulder.

"Brother Lu, let's be careful! That guy may not have gone far yet..."

After arriving near the boulder, A Lei warned him worriedly, but Lu Yi didn't take it seriously and started investigating early.

He called out Cady Dog and Eluredo. The former searched for smells in the surrounding area, and the latter was responsible for vigilance in the middle of the night.

Lu Yi stood in front of the rock and determined the location of the Overlord Pokémon to Alei: "When you saw it, it was less than a hundred meters away from you, right? Which direction was it specifically?"

"Yes!" After hearing this, Ah Lei nodded firmly, then stretched out his right hand and pointed to one side: "It was over there at that time!"

Lu Yi looked in the direction he pointed and felt relieved.

Because that is the way up the mountain, and as a runaway in danger, friend Ah Lei will definitely not escape in that direction!

As expected, the Kati dog found the extended route of the scent based on this backpack, which was completely in the opposite direction to that giant creature!

Lu Yi laughed: "Relax, there is a high probability that your friend will not be attacked by that overlord Pokémon. But in the wilderness, he may not dare to turn on the light in front of the other party like you, so he met other people in the dark. Question. Let’s follow Katy Dog and see if we can find him!”

Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Ah Lei's face, and the previous gloom was swept away: "Really? That's great!"

The two immediately followed the pace of Kati Dog, and it didn't take long before they found a ravine-like crevice in the mountain, where the scent of Alei's friend disappeared.

Lu Yi frowned slightly and asked Rotom to increase the power transmission. The light of his mobile phone penetrated the cracks in the mountains and gave a panoramic view of the situation inside.

"He must have fallen. We must rescue him as soon as possible."

Lu Yi felt a little solemn, because on the irregular rock wall protruding below, there were some dark marks that were unclear whether they were red or black, like mud attached to rainy weather, or like dried human blood.

Ah Lei's friend must have panicked and slipped and fell in the dark and lightless environment. Now he must be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately!

So the two of them didn't hesitate any longer, and hurriedly used Elureduo's spiritual power to sneak into the crevices of the mountain!

……

"It's so trendy...eh? Are there any green plants in here?"

With Lu Yi by his side, Ah Lei was emboldened and now he dared to use the flashlight. He found that the inside of this dark cave was more vibrant than the outside world. Many green plants were growing well, and there was a thick layer of moss on the surrounding rock walls.

Lu Yi looked up at the crack in the stone and estimated that the depth of the cave was about five meters.

As long as his head doesn't hit the ground, he shouldn't be able to kill anyone from this height.

"It's normal to have green plants here, because the gap allows sunlight to enter every day and is moistened by natural rainwater. If this ecology is maintained for a long time, plants that are suitable for growing in humid environments will live well."

While Lu Yi was explaining the reason for the appearance of green plants, he followed the dog. It had confirmed that there was the smell of Lei's friend in the cave!

Finally, the two of them bypassed several boulders that blocked their view and found Ah Lei's unconscious friend. His whole body was covered with mud, and there were many marks on his head and arms. The blood had already crusted over after a long period of natural drying!

"Pippi, use..."

Lu Yi habitually touched his waist, intending to inject life drops into the unconscious person, but suddenly remembered that Pippi was not beside him at this time, and his waist was empty!

He secretly screamed that it was not good and quickly asked Eluredo to carry him up first!

Ah Lei was also so anxious that his eye circles instantly turned red, fearing that something bad would happen to his friend!

Fortunately, Lu Yi put the phone screen on the tip of his nose, and a thin layer of water mist spread over it, proving that Ah Lei's friend was still breathing, but had fallen into a coma due to severe pain or a brain impact!

Half an hour later, the injured man successfully arrived at the hospital with the help of Tropical Dragon. After Ms. Joy's initial rescue, Ah Lei could finally feel relieved.

"Brother Lu, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have thought that he would have fallen into such a remote mountain crevice! I'm afraid he would have..."

Ah Lei's face was filled with self-blame, even though it was not his fault at all.

Lu Yi patted him on the shoulder: "I can see that you are very sincere and have a sense of responsibility for your friends. Don't worry, Miss Joy said that he is not seriously ill. It is basically just some skin injuries from bumps and bruises. Take a good rest. That’s it.”

After speaking, Lu Yi yawned tiredly. Before, the brain was in a state of high tension, which temporarily suppressed sleepiness. But now the crisis was completely lifted, and mental and physical fatigue surged in instantly.

"You should have a good rest here, and take care of your friends by the way. I will go back first." After saying that, Lu Yi declined A Lei's kindness to treat him to dinner, and turned around and left with his sincere thanks.

But before he had gone far, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at the other party with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, if you and your friends really want to thank me, why not help me advertise during the trip!"

"Advertisement?" Ah Lei blinked in confusion.

"Well! I have opened a new detective agency, and it will be officially open to the public in a few days. I will send you some promotional materials at that time, and if you encounter a suitable opportunity, please help me spread the word!"

"Detective agency? So Brother Lu is a private detective? No wonder you asked me to call you when I'm in danger!" Ah Lei's eyes lit up. He really didn't know Lu Yi's specific occupation before!

The latter smiled and nodded.

"Then it's settled, bye!~"

"Bye!" A Lei waved his arms happily. "See you at the Quartz Conference!"

Watching Lu Yi ride on a passing flame horse, Ah Lei returned to the ward with gratitude.

But neither of them saw that in the parking lot in the backyard of the Elf Center, more than a dozen police cars were neatly lined up. That was the scale of the police force that would only be dispatched to handle major cases!

Something big seems to have happened in Kuye City!
