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

After listening to Lu Yi's explanation of the concept of the seven deadly sins, Reina pouted and her brows twisted into small knots.

"Human nature is so hard to understand! I hope there will be more kind people in this world who can illuminate the darkness on the road ahead. Instead of being like those criminals who, for their own selfish desires, ultimately devour the light on other people's paths."

"Oh, that's a very profound summary!"

Lu Yi looked at Lina with a smile, and Lina continued to complain: "I didn't like the number '7' in the first place, and now that I know about the concept of the seven deadly sins, I hate it even more."

"Why don't you like 7? Do you have an obsession with numbers?"

"That's not the case." Lina pouted and shook her head. "Brother Lu Yi, don't you think the number '7' looks incomplete?"

"I don't think so!" Lu Yi stared. He really didn't think there was anything wrong with this number. After all, in the past on Earth, the highest reward for the game machine lottery was three 7s! Chinese people generally have no prejudice against this number, and many people even like it very much!

Corina holds a different view: "Maybe it's because our world is used to using even numbers and symmetrical structures, which makes me more sensitive to odd numbers!

Like the Four Heavenly Kings, the Eight Dojos, the Eight Badges, the Eight Regions...

There are many such examples in life, which subtly influence our aesthetic appreciation of numbers. In fact, there are some classmates around me. When I talked to them before, they didn’t seem to like the number 7 very much. "

Hearing this, Lu nodded, but still didn't quite understand.

"I understand what you mean. However, the setting of '7' is not uncommon in the elf world! For example, the eight regions you just mentioned, aren't there actually only seven alliances? The two major regions of Kanto and Johto are managed by the Quartz Alliance.

Besides, that damn Hunter Guild also corresponds to the Alliance's regional jurisdiction system. It has seven major branches and is named with different letters.

There are so many cases related to 7 in life, so it shouldn't be disliked by the public, right?"

"There aren't that many. Ordinary people basically can't get access to the things you mentioned!" Lina blinked and refuted this point of view.

"Although it is common knowledge that there are only seven alliances in the eight regions, few people emphasize it in real life. It's not like the eight badges and eight gyms, which are numbers that trainers often mention.

As for the Hunter Guild, it is even more difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with it. It was only after I came to the Justice Office that I slowly got to know this organization! How can ordinary people have such an opportunity? "

Hearing her say this, Lu Yi thought about it and agreed.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about other topics related to numbers."

"Yeah!" Lina nodded obediently, then looked at Lu Yida eagerly: "Just now you said that the various branches of the Hunter Guild are named after different letters. Have you and Miss Junsha figured out the meaning of those letters?"

"What do the letters mean?"

Lu Yi frowned. He had never seriously considered this question before. And it wasn't just him. Even Miss Junsha had always regarded those letters as codes and had never conducted in-depth research.

“I haven’t investigated. Compared to tracking those hunters, the police force doesn’t want to waste too much energy studying the specific meanings of some common code names.

Not to mention that even if the letters are deciphered, they will not be of any substantial help in catching criminals. As for its existence itself, what if their leader just named it casually? Wouldn't the police force waste a lot of manpower and time?"

"That makes sense." Lina blinked, agreeing with the statement. "But I still don't quite understand."

"What don't you understand?"

"It's the correspondence between these branches and the alliance!" Lina said in confusion.

“Brother Lu Yi, I remember Miss Junsha told you before that the top combat power of the Hunter Guild basically corresponds to the regional champions and the Four Heavenly Kings under the alliance.

According to this line of thinking, a 9-star hunter is comparable to a king-level hunter, and a full-star hunter can even compete with regional champions!

But now I see the fact that Awang and Xiaobu, two 9-star hunters, were beaten by you and Yinchuan without any chance to fight back. Aaron and Anqi, both of whom are at the full-star level, one was forced back by Yinchuan, and the other was simply captured by you in a one-on-one fight.

In this case, don't you and Yinchuan already have combat power above the Heavenly King level? ? "

"How is that possible!" Lu Yi retorted without hesitation.

"I can't say for sure about the level of the new kings. But those veteran masters, such as Mr. Aju and Granny Juzi, are definitely much stronger than Yinchuan and I! If we go all out, we will definitely have no chance of winning in a one-on-one battle with them!"

"Yeah! I think so too, that's why it's so strange."

Lina tilted her head, her expression very conflicted.

After hearing her words, Lu Yi also felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed that the so-called benchmarking set up by the Hunter Guild was completely a show, and it would break into pieces if a real fight broke out, and it was impossible to challenge the core combat power of the Porcelain Alliance!

"Could it be that this so-called benchmarking is just a misunderstanding of the alliance's top leaders, and there is actually no such setting at all?" Lu Yi frowned, not having any good ideas for a moment.

Lina laughed and joked, "No way? There are seven alliances in each region, and there are exactly seven branches of the Hunter Guild. Isn't this a benchmark?

If they set up the divisions like this, but they don’t correspond to the Seven Alliances, then what do they correspond to? The Seven Deadly Sins? Hahaha! ~~"

Lina's tone was full of teasing, and she felt that Lu Yi was thinking too much. However, after being reminded by her, Lu Yi opened his mind and took out his mobile phone to check the information on the spot.

"I remember that there are three common languages ​​in the elf world: Chinese characters, Japanese, and English. They are all the mainstream languages ​​here. In that case, maybe those letters representing the branches are the English abbreviations of the Seven Deadly Sins?"

After saying that, he began to look up the English translation of keywords such as "jealousy" and "greed". Lina stared at him in disbelief and said to Lu: "You really want to look it up? I'm kidding!"

"I know." Lu Yi smiled. "I'm here to recover from my injuries, so I'm free to do nothing. I might as well check it out according to your idea! At worst, I can just rule out a wrong answer."

After Lu Yi finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the screen of his mobile phone. At this time, the translation software had given the corresponding English words of the seven deadly sins. When Lu Yi saw those words, he was stunned for a moment.

【envy】 → 【envy】

Pride → Pride

Greed

[Wrath] → [wrath]

【sloth】 → 【sloth】

【Lust】 → 【lust】

Gluttony

……

There are seven English words. Except for "envy" which corresponds to jealousy, the first letters of the other words happen to be the same as the code names of the seven branches of the Hunter's Guild!

The branch they set up in the Kanto region was code-named "L", which just happens to be the first letter of the English word "lust"; the "P" branch in the Hoenn region has the same first letter as the English word "pride"!

Counting further down, the first letter of the Unova branch and the word Wrath is "W"; the first letter of the Carlos branch and the word Laziness is "S"; and the first letter of the Galar branch and the word Gluttony is "G"!

Although only five words among the Seven Deadly Sins correspond to the Hunter Guild and do not cover all of them, the coincidence of this proportion is enough to attract Lu Yi's attention!

"Li Na, I don't know why, but I suddenly have a premonition."

"You might be able to accomplish something great again! Just like the last time you discovered the pattern of a nursery rhyme!"
