Pokémon: I'm a detective, not the sixth one.

July 7, Honglian Island.

After many twists and turns, Lu Yi finally completed the commission and returned to the Honglian Research Institute with a thank-you gift of 3 yuan from Brother Baidi. However, before he even walked into the door, he was blinded by a ball of light from afar.

He thought it was the reflection of the mirror, but when he got closer, he realized it was his grandfather's bald head.

Lu Yi quickly quickened his pace and moved closer to the sensor glass door of the research institute. At this moment, a mysterious elf that had passed by him before flew up happily again.

It didn't want to be tied to Xia Bo all the time, but the latter wouldn't open the door for it. Now that Lu Yi happened to come back, the mysterious creature immediately went to meet him and flew towards the Red Lotus Volcano.

"Grandpa, you're back? When?"

Lu Yi didn't notice anything unusual around him and ran straight to Xia Bo.

"yesterday afternoon."

Xia Bo didn't even raise his head, busy watering and fertilizing the plants by the window, his eyes full of love and care.

"Yesterday afternoon?" Lu Yi was a little surprised. Since his grandfather was able to arrive home yesterday afternoon, it meant that the investigation matters in Galar should have been completed earlier.

"Then I asked Rotom to call you before, didn't you receive it?"

Hearing this, Xia Bo paused in watering the flowers and turned to look at Lu Yida: "Oh! I forgot!"

"When you called me, Aju and I were drinking on the cruise ship! The signal was not very good at sea. I drank so much that I fell asleep and didn't think of replying you. Hahaha..."

Xia Bo smiled carelessly, while Lu Yi pouted helplessly beside him, thinking that you are worthy of being an old man.

"What do you want from me?"

Hearing the old man's question, Lu Yi immediately put away his helpless look and asked seriously: "I want to consult you about the topic of memory."

Lu Yi told Xia Bo everything that happened over the past two days.

Especially the scene where he interrogated Muzi, he summarized the situation of Muzi and other high-star hunters, and pointed out the unreasonable parts, wanting his grandfather to help judge whether the situation of these people can still be simply regarded as "brainwashing"?

“That’s bullshit!”

Xia Bo frowned and shook his head. He didn't believe that the situation happening to these people could be caused by brainwashing alone.

“Although the people you just mentioned all exhibited the same problem, the time and background of their joining the Hunter Guild were very different!

Let’s talk about Muzi first. I have met that girl and I admired her very much.

According to the information she released, she said that she was "his daughter". Let's assume that this "he" is the supreme leader of the Hunter Guild. It is understandable that Muzi is unwilling to reveal his identity. After all, the relationship is there, and she doesn't want anything to happen to her father.

But what about others?

A-Lin, Ling-Yin, Ling-Yu, A-Wang, Xiao-Bu...

If Meng Jie's reluctance to betray her superior was due to her awareness as a branch leader, then why were the other high-star hunters so tight-lipped? They barely saw their leader a few times a year, right?

Especially Liu Sen, before he joined the Hunter's Guild, he was a member of the Forest Protection Organization! One of the professions that hates poachers the most!

According to the clues and evidence held by the police force, Liu Sen has rarely seen the mysterious leader in recent years, and he can't even deal with his direct leader, Pikachu.

In addition, when he first joined the guild, it was Kachu and others who threatened his lover's life, so the hatred in his heart should be even stronger! How could he have such high loyalty in return? "

Xia Bo analyzed every point in detail, and his views were completely consistent with Lu Yi's ideas.

Lu Yi recalled that in his last mission before his death, Captain Lin regarded Liu Sen as the "key" to breaking through the Hunter Guild. He must have seen through these contradictions long ago and believed that the most important direction of the police team's investigation was to unravel the mysteries of Liu Sen!

"Grandpa, since you also think this is not a simple brainwashing issue, what other power in the world can do this?"

Lu Yi was very humble in asking for advice. He always liked to consult Xia Bo's advice when he encountered difficulties. This was not because Xia Bo himself had a strong ability to solve cases, but because as an elder and a top scholar, he had a more critical factor in solving cases than Lu Yi.

--experience!

"Um……"

Xia Bo sighed, then frowned and stroked his beard silently.

After a moment, he raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had thought of something, and even his bald head seemed to brighten a little!

"I remember there seems to be a Pokémon that can achieve a similar effect."

"Pokémon?" Lu Yi's eyes widened. "What type of Pokémon?"

"Dayu monster." Xia Bo replied calmly.

"According to existing research results, the Dayu monster clan uses mental interference to tamper with other people's memories in order to ultimately control them.

If the supreme leader of the Hunter Guild, with the help of the power of the Great Monster, fundamentally tampered with the memories of all his subordinates and turned himself into a "supreme" person, then it is not difficult to understand why Liu Sen and others swore to protect his secrets. "

Hearing this, Lu Yi was shocked. He didn't expect there would be such an outrageous Pokémon! It could tamper with other people's memories at will!

"Grandpa, how do we solve this situation? Should we ask the police to catch a big monster?"

"Okay, but it doesn't have to be that troublesome, and it may not be effective even if we catch it back." Xia Bo said calmly again.

"The ability of the Big Monster lies in 'tampering', not in effectively 'identifying' the authenticity of memories. If we want to test these high-star hunters, we can just get a special machine that can read memories.

I am responsible for the creation, the police force is responsible for the review, and you help analyze whether these memories are complete and reasonable.

If there are some contradictory fragments in the process, for example, he had a bad attitude towards someone before, but suddenly turned 180 degrees later, it means that this memory has been artificially tampered with, and our inference is reasonable.

On the other hand, if memory is not biased, then we are going in the wrong direction.”

Xia Bo looked relaxed and made a jaw-dropping speech!

If Lu Yi hadn’t known this world for a long time, an ordinary person would probably think that this old man was crazy!

Build a machine that can read memories? Is this something a normal person can say? And Xia Bo is so calm!

In fact, in the main storyline of the Pokémon anime, Ash's friend Citron once invented a machine that can read the Pokémon's memory and display it on TV by connecting it to the Pokémon's head!

Therefore, Lu Yi had no doubt that the machine that his grandfather could make, even Hitlon, would be more powerful if Xia Bo made it himself!

"I understand. I will share your ideas with Miss Junsha later." Lu Yi said seriously.

"But, Grandpa. What if the final result is that they find that their memories have never been tampered with?"

Hearing this, Xia Bo chuckled and glanced at Lu Yida: "Haha! That means I saw a ghost!"
