Chapter 5 I've Been Kidnapped by the Undead
Following the address on the business card given to him by Qiao Yijing, Lin Ye arrived at a two-story detached building with the words "Luo De Psychological Clinic" written on the door.
As soon as they reached the door, certain memories were stirred in Zoroa, causing him to stir restlessly in the shadows. Lin Ye, sensing this immediately due to the contract, soothed him:
"Zoroa, calm down. This person doesn't know you exist yet. We're in the dark while the enemy is in the open. The rhythm is entirely in our hands, so you don't need to rush."
However, if you really can't accept it right now, you don't necessarily have to come inside with me. It's just about finding some evidence anyway, so you can just wait for me outside!
Upon hearing this, Zoroark became anxious: "How can that be? I'm Lin Ye's only Pokémon now, and I have to protect you at all times. This is easy to overcome! *burp*"
Lin Ye smiled and strode into the psychological clinic. He found the interior to be quite cozy, with warm colors on the walls and lights. There was also a photo of a balding middle-aged man with a kind smile on the wall.
However, through real-time communication with Soroya, Lin Ye learned that this person was the culprit who had persecuted him before, proving that appearances can be deceiving.
The registration fee for psychological counseling was a bit pricey, but fortunately, Lin Ye had money in his pocket and didn't care about the small amount, so he smoothly entered the treatment stage.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw the bald man in the photo give me a harmless smile and stand up to welcome me.
However, after being influenced by a group of necromancers in the magical world, Lin Ye could tell at a glance that this was a smiling tiger, with a hint of ruthlessness hidden in the wavy corners of his eyes.
If you're fooled by someone's appearance, you might find yourself being bitten by them for no reason one day.
"Hello Mr. Lin, how can I help you?"
After sitting down, Lin Ye twisted his neck, took a deep breath, and said in a serious tone:
"What I'm about to tell you, don't be afraid!"
"Don't worry, I'm a professional psychologist, I'm not afraid!"
"I've just been kidnapped by the undead!"
"...Which spirit is it?"
"Not just any one, but a spirit that is half human and half ghost!"
Rod remained silent for a moment, then took out his phone and searched for a picture of a Flower Rock Monster!
"It's not that abstract; it's more like a person!"
The image on the other side has been changed to Gengar!
"I'm not that fat!"
With a flick of his finger, the image transformed into a nightmare!
"Where are its legs?! And it's not wearing a hat, it looks like a man!"
The person on the other end raised their hand to signal to calm down, and after a few actions, changed the image to a clay giant!
"Ghosts! Have you seen the movie?!"
"Please continue..."
"It's the kind of creature that's very special. It has a sinister aura about it, and it insisted that I subdue it, saying that I have extraordinary talent and the potential to be a champion. Tell me, who can't see that?"
I definitely refused it, and then it kidnapped me, right there in the area around Mount Ksitigarbha…”
"Pfft~"
What are you laughing at?
"I remembered something happy!"
"What's making you happy?"
"My mom has incredible strength and gave birth today!"
"Why are you laughing when this superhuman is giving birth? Is the child yours?"
“…………”
And so, Lin Ye chatted with Rod Dong for half an hour until the consultation time was up, at which point the latter, barely suppressing his anger, sent him out. He was diagnosed with being frightened by a ghost Pokémon and needed to rest for a few days.
Once the door closed, Rhodes's feigned smile was instantly replaced by a sinister look, and he began to mutter curses:
"Damn it, money is hard to earn and shit is hard to swallow! If I hadn't just gambled away all my money in that godforsaken place, I would have kicked this lunatic out long ago. Why have I put up with this for so long?"
However, although this kid is mentally unstable, he seems to be quite wealthy, paying so readily. Maybe I should follow him and confront him...
"Sigh... never mind. Scarface's plan is just around the corner. Let's not create any unnecessary trouble; it'll be hard to explain if we cause any problems."
…………
Lin Ye was unaware that he had saved himself a lot of trouble by someone's mental exhaustion. It wasn't until he walked into a small grove that Zoroya emerged from his shadow.
"Zorua, well done!"
Soroya tilted his head in confusion at being praised!
"Hiccup~ But I didn't do anything!"
"You clearly hate that man so much, but you didn't show any unusual emotional fluctuations in the shadows just now. Doesn't that just prove that you've grown a lot in terms of character?"
"I'm not that good; it's all thanks to Master's excellent teaching!"
Lin Ye noticed that Zoroa was somewhat insecure due to its previous experiences, so he made sure to praise it as much as possible.
The little fox, flattered by his praise, looked shy, its little tail wagging incessantly.
"Hehehe~~"
At this moment, three dark shadows shot in from different directions and finally stopped in front of Lin Ye. They were Gastly and the other two ghosts.
"Brother Ghost, judging from your expression, you must have gained quite a bit."
Gastly reached into its chest and pulled out a smartphone.
This phone was naturally the one Lin Ye had just bought at Shuijing Department Store. He had quietly released Gastly as soon as he entered the psychological clinic, letting it use its stealth ability to photograph some documents and notebooks that Rhodes had carefully kept.
But when Lin Ye took the phone and looked at it, he found that most of the content in the phone's photo library was hot and sexy pictures, or literary works that would definitely be 404 on a legitimate website and were not suitable for children.
"What kind of films are these? I need evidence of Rhodes' crimes, not the depressing literature you're interested in."
Gastly looked as if he had been wronged beyond belief, and swung his big hands: "Brother, whether you're a human or a ghost, you have to have a conscience."
I'm completely illiterate, how could I possibly distinguish between evidence and repressive literature? How could you falsely accuse an illiterate person out of thin air?
"Alright, alright~ Even if you can't read, surely you recognize these pictures!"
“…………”
Seeing that Ghoststone was speechless, Lin Ye guessed that this guy was probably a miserable, repressed ghost, so he didn't bother with it anymore and continued searching.
Unexpectedly, a photograph of the contents of a handwritten letter immediately gave him a jolt.
"It contains content!"
Lin Ye quickly glanced through it and found that it was a notice of a secret plan, and the person in charge was a man codenamed "Scarface".
It turns out that this psychologist, Rod, actually belongs to an underground gang in Waterloo City called the "Poison Blade Society," and he holds a fairly high position within it.
Their upcoming plan is quite outrageous; they intend to target the Pokémon that the Lilycove City government is about to distribute to novice trainers.
It will probably be about a week from now when the Pokémon Center in Lilycove City will assign starter Pokémon to these selected civilian trainers.
These people were so audacious as to try to steal the Pokémon that the League was about to distribute to trainers. Lin Ye immediately had a plan in mind!
