The next day.

Yuuki left early.He has to rush to Keyan Town as soon as possible, and hand over the dust goggles to Xiaoyao——as a thank you for handing over the stone, Mr. Dawu gave him this new product of Devon Company, and in Yuki’s opinion, the ultimate It is obviously not me who needs sand and dust goggles, but Xiaoyao who travels far ahead of me.

Ibuki's schedule is obviously much more casual - when she contacted the doctor, it was already high in the sun, and Dr. Oda Maki was sitting in front of the screen holding a box of bento.

"If there's nothing else, I'll have lunch first." The doctor glanced at Yiqiu—very good, there is no missing arm or leg, and it seems that there is no need for more concern—then raised the lunch box in his hand and signaled to her one time.

After hearing this, Ibuki also understood that Yuuki probably reported the mission progress for herself, so she waved her hand casually: "The mission report will be sent to you in a while, I won't go back to the research institute for a few days."

Yibu answered casually, so the doctor should be more casual: "What are you going to do?"

"I heard that Hai Zijin is haunted by ghosts, I want to catch ghosts for fun." Yi Chui answered smoothly and smiled naturally - but it was an excuse that had been designed long ago.

Within the range of Sea Route 108, there is a mangrove reserve called Corydalis praecox—in the early years, that "Cordynia cerevisiae" was originally a huge facility for mining some kind of "submarine energy".Just from the name, it can be known that the Sea Purple Cordyce is inextricably linked with the Purple Corydal City—but how deep this connection goes, it is impossible to find out without going to see it for yourself.

There was once a lot of rumors about the Corydalis sea, and among them, the most private rumor was about the collapse of the Corydalis large company to which the Corydalis sea belonged—if Ibuki remembers correctly, Dr. Sonans’ father was there Work.

Sea Corydalis was once one of the lifeline industries of the Great Corydalis Company, and Corydalis City was the foundation of the Great Corydalis Company.The Great Corydalis Company once devoted all its efforts to the construction of this city, but for some reason, the company encountered certain crises, which caused the development plan of Corydalis City to enter a bottleneck, stagnated or even retreated.Its lifeblood, Corydalis cerevisiae, was forced to close due to environmental problems, and since then, the company has been in a slump.

As for what happened later, it is unknown—as one of the thousands of "people", Ibuki only knows that Tiexuan from Devon took over the power of Zijin City. The stagnant development plan of Pansy City was suddenly abolished, and the new plan was quickly introduced after the new officials took office, leading the rapid and vigorous development of Pansy City.

—Quite suspicious, isn't it?

But this is not all.

Since the development of Corydalis City, many researchers of the older generation who belonged to the Great Corydalis Company have disappeared—it may not be entirely accurate to say that they have disappeared at all, but it is just based on what Ibuki noticed. When Li Tong's mother, who was a researcher, mentioned those old friends, she would be somewhat dissatisfied, blaming them for not being in touch with her after they became prosperous.

——But is it really a subjective "don't want to contact me anymore"?

Ibuki is not as innocent as his parents.

She vaguely remembered hearing from colleagues that Devon Company had specially built a luxurious apartment complex for these senior employees during the rebuilding of New Purple Corydalis—they were amazed at Devon’s generosity and good treatment, but Ibuki only felt puzzled.

——What kind of "luxury" enjoyment can make people linger so much that they don't even want to show their faces anymore?

These are all problems that made Ibuki lose the courage to choose German.

Now that it has been confirmed that the development and growth of Devon Company is inseparable from the so-called "life energy" that Devon has been concealing, is it possible to find some related What about the relevant information?

Of course... the perennial haunting in the ruins of Violet Haizi is indeed one of the reasons, and Ibuki has been interested in it for a long time.

The doctor nodded thoughtfully, put down his chopsticks, spread his palm and pointed behind Ibuki:

"You two have a date?"

Yibuki subconsciously turned back in the direction pointed by the doctor. He thought he would see Manzhu, who was elusive again, but was taken aback in the end.

"—a big miscalculation?"

Apparently Dawu had noticed the situation here for a while - he politely did not interrupt the conversation between Ibuki and the doctor.Seeing Yibuki turning around and looking over, Dawu walked over with a smile.

"I received the fossil from Yuuki. It's really a pretty good gift." Dawu nodded to Ibuki and said hello, with a very polite tone, "I have already contacted the fossil research department. If you need specific data You can go directly to them—of course, they are also very interested in the location and history of this fossil, and I look forward to your communication with them as soon as possible.”

"Then thank you in advance." Yibu laughed, "It seems that Yuuki and I just missed it—is he leaving in such a hurry to challenge the gym?"

"He seems to be eager to share this harvest with his companions." Dawu couldn't help showing a smile when he thought of the rare joy of this junior who always had a slumped face, "Recently, Route 111 There was news of the discovery of the Phantom Tower, I think he should be in a hurry to go there."

Yibuki: "..." - Well, it seems that the two researchers' tone is quite strict.

Seeing that Ibuki fell silent, Daigo and Dr. Odaroll also understood that she was considering some excuse to leave.But obviously, this time Dawu didn't show up purely for the sake of socializing.

"I heard you mentioned Violet Hai—what, are you going to investigate there next?"

——Ibuki felt that if it weren't for the fact that he was too difficult to deal with at the championship level, Dawu would probably have been packed and thrown out by himself.

"Yes," she said calmly, "I'm just curious—I heard from my friends that the rumors of ghosts over there have intensified."

"The situation is serious?" So Dawu showed a curious look cooperatively, "I haven't heard of similar reports from the alliance—is it just a legend or is it true?"

"You kind of stay in the cave all day..." Did the rock digger really pay attention to the report submitted by the trainer below?Yibuki couldn't help rolling her eyes, but she stopped talking when she was about to speak—after all, her purpose was to dispel Dawu's curiosity, not to provoke him to go with her.

Yibuki paused before continuing: "Maybe it's just a legend."

Dawu smiled meaningfully.

"Of course it's an urban legend—or even if it's true, the 'haunting' is just ghost-type elves?"

"That sounds great too." Yibuki replied, as if he hadn't noticed the meaning behind Dago's words at all.

——Dago didn’t think that Ibuki’s goal would be that simple.

After all, he still has some doubts about the relationship between Ibuki and the Suifen Group—although with Ibuki's identity and background, even if he is really related to some "evil organizations", it is only the turn of those organizations to worry about whether there are any Which alliance wants to attack them quietly.

But this time, Dawu didn't expect that she would actually focus on Hai Zijin.Others don't know, but Dawu knows all too well that there are still some things worth digging hidden in Violet Violet—the premise is that you have to know how to dig out this information.

So Dawu didn't change his smile, and continued speaking through Yibuki's words:

"Yeah, sounds like a lot of fun - mind if I go with you?"

Ibuki: "..."

——I mind, very much!

"Are you sure you really want to come with me?"

After cutting off the communication with the doctor, Yibui turned his head to look at Dawu, his tone a little listless.

"I'm just curious. Maybe there's no gain in this line of work. It's just a waste of time. Where did you waste so much time like me?"

"I'm just curious too." Dawu spread his hands.

"It's not a good thing to be too curious," Ibuki muttered, "What's more, if you have time to dig stones all over the world, it's better to take good care of your German."

——The voice in the second half of the sentence is so small that it is almost inaudible.

Dawu looked at her strangely, and then showed his usual gentle smile.

"Yeah, it's not a good thing to be too curious." He smiled gently, but the smile didn't get into his words, "Don't worry about things you shouldn't care about—the words are not very pleasant, but they are definitely good words."

Yibui looked at this smiling face as usual, but felt a burst of cold air penetrated through the spinal cord, spreading across all limbs and bones in an instant.

——It's no good to be too curious, don't worry about things that shouldn't be taken care of.

She still remembered this sentence, and the senior who said this sentence to her with a slightly lonely expression back then.That senior was also in Devon at the time, and she hadn't even graduated from college at that time.

But later, until now, she has never seen that senior again.
