Chapter 257 People?
Chapter 257 People?
He does know some martial arts, but only the basics.
Ye Kai would definitely be no match for a true martial arts expert.
But it's enough for self-defense.
He underwent five gene-modifying treatments, making his strength unmatched by ordinary people.
"Let me go!"
The boy who was being knelt on the ground had a strange accent.
But they still speak the language of China.
How did you manage to move through this fog?
"You despicable outsider, let me go! I won't tell!"
"..."
Ye Kai controlled his strength and punched him on the top of the head.
Did they intend to call for help and summon their companions?
Dream your sweet dreams!
After that punch, the boy finally understood.
This person is truly capable of beating themselves to death.
He was so dizzy from being hit that he immediately stopped struggling.
Ye Kai had the Flame Queen Lizard ignite the mist.
Then, the scorching air, mixed with gas, was poured into the boy's mouth and nose.
Even if your antitoxicity is incredibly high.
Carbon-based organisms cannot withstand the ignition of poisonous gas or venom!
Unless you are a being that doesn't need to breathe.
"Cough cough! Let me go... Quick... I can't... breathe..."
"I'll ask you a question, you answer it, or you'll die."
Ye Kai signaled the Flame Queen Lizard to stop.
Instead, Gengar appeared and possessed the boy.
"If you tell even one lie, Gengar's 100,000 volts can electrocute you instantly."
"...Okay, I'll talk..."
The boy trembled with fear at Ye Kai's ruthless methods and could only struggle desperately in Ye Kai's hands.
How did you manage to move around in this fog?
Ye Kai asked questions at the same time.
It also released Venusaur.
Venusaur unleashes a frenzy of plants, rapidly transforming the surrounding environment.
Soon the boy was imprisoned on the ground by the tree roots.
Tree roots bound his limbs, waist, and neck.
Now he is completely unable to move.
Ye Kai was finally able to free up his hands and feet.
Let's use this place as a base and figure out the ins and outs of the matter first.
Venusaur quickly realized that its stamina was rapidly decreasing.
"Muck!"
Mud is practically a god here.
It unleashed a wave of sludge to spread out the poisonous swamp.
Then Venusaur's crazy plants draw nutrients from Muk's sludge swamp.
Once Venusaur's pollen had covered the surrounding space, it finally adapted to the environment.
Without such and such means.
I'm afraid even Venusaur will be poisoned to death by the poisonous mist from the "Poison Coffin"!
The young man was dumbfounded to see that Ye Kai had come prepared and was making one crazy move after another.
He had originally thought that Ye Kai and his elves wouldn't last long.
Without the "blessing" of the cult leader.
This despicable outsider will soon be dead.
Now, he sees no chance of escape...
Once his psychological defenses crumbled, the boy had no choice but to confess what he knew.
The reason he was able to move around in this place was...
It is because the "leader" has already blessed all his subjects.
Blessing?
Ha, what a charade.
Listen to the boy's description.
To put it bluntly, it's similar to an alliance's "immersion" process, involving the administration of gene-altering agents and the implantation of destructive genes.
To Ye Kai's astonishment, Yaksha had already mastered this level of biotechnology?!
“A few months ago, we couldn’t even get in here.”
“Until last month, the elders blessed us again, which allowed us to enter the underworld.”
"Impossible, doesn't your kind of blessing have any side effects?"
Ye Kai blurted it out subconsciously.
Gengar decisively used a small electric shock to make him behave.
The boy's whole body trembled involuntarily.
"I...I wasn't lying!"
He slowly revealed more of the truth: the blessing could indeed kill people.
But that's like a screening process.
Often, the first gene serum can filter out most people.
The discomfort during intravenous injection can filter out a large number of patients.
As long as you don't recklessly take or inject large doses repeatedly before soaking, you won't die.
But very few people can survive the "immersion" and still live.
Furthermore, this "blessing" is a choice freely made by the members of the Yaksha.
There are no barriers to entry, and it's not mandatory.
"Kid, you don't seem stupid. You know there's a risk of death in this blessing, yet you still dare to blindly go for it?"
"Of course I know there are risks involved in the leader's blessing, but so what!"
"At least the leader gave us ordinary people a chance to become trainers!"
"Where's your alliance?!"
"They're isolating us from all walks of life, treating us like fools. All we want is to become trainers! Will the league even give us a chance?!"
"..."
"For over a decade, the regions surrounding our alliance have become your battlegrounds for interests. In the end, we are the ones who suffer the most from all this fighting!"
"I'm not willing to accept that I can never become a trainer in my life!"
"You high and mighty League professional trainers only know how to climb the ranks, fight gyms, vie to become gym leaders, and become the King of the Ring..."
"When did you ever see us?!"
How are we ordinary people doing?
"How many people has the Alliance kidnapped under the guise of justice in order to capture those with innate superpowers, poisoners, and psionic abilities!"
“Those were our village’s only hope, and they were nipped in the bud…”
The boy poured out his hatred incessantly.
Ye Kai listened expressionlessly.
After listening to Gengar, continue to shock him!
Ye Kai had thought about these things, but what could he do?
He's just a lowly level 1 professional trainer.
Even if one has lofty ambitions.
That would require someone like Chu Feng, who at least possesses the strength of a Heavenly King and a large number of trump cards.
If it were like this naive young boy...
Here, barking wildly, they're like spoiled dogs.
That would be the real end.
Don't get caught up in grand narratives.
Human growth requires responsibility and patience.
Especially for a man, it is even more important to cultivate the ability to "endure"!
Want to change reality.
You have to accept some of the "reality"!
Unless you can smash through the south wall!
However, such actions often end badly.
Throughout history, those who ultimately win are those who can endure.
The more you endure, the more ruthless you will be in the end!
I can't stand it, haha...
Returning to the present moment, Ye Kai suddenly thought of a possibility.
The gene serums from the Alliance may not be much more advanced than those from these forces.
Is there any possibility?
After being immersed in the training, the league's trainee trainers also trained many people.
But all of this information has been blocked?
The boy noticed a hint of hesitation on Ye Kai's cold face and decisively offered his advice.
"You professional trainers outside probably don't know these inside stories."
"How pathetic. The evil alliance has done even more dirty tricks than these. Guess what this poisonous fog is like..."
Seeing that he was still so energetic, Gengar continued to use his electric shock.
This time, the electric shocks were so strong they were almost smoking.
"Gengar, go easy on him. He lacks resistance to Electric-type attacks, or he'll be done for."
"Gag!"
Ye Kai's senses were able to clearly perceive it.
This boy possesses a strong presence of only three types of attributes: Dark, Poison, and Ghost.
But he was different.
His genetic modification came from the Alliance and resulted in a balanced 15 attributes.
As for the poison attribute, it surpasses the other 15 attributes and comes directly from the system!
Therefore, Ye Kai is considered to be a balanced type with all 16 attributes.
Unlike this boy who is "particularly good at one subject".
He then released Supervillain, which used a sip of water to wake the boy up.
The boy shuddered and looked at Ye Kai with fear.
This person is a monster!
Nothing I said could move him.
How many of you are in this "underworld"?
He simply went with the local custom and called the "poison coffin" also "the underworld".
"...I will never betray the cult leader... Ugh!"
Previously it was an electric shock.
Now it's cold air, blown out by the supervillain.
The boy was already soaked to the bone.
Now facing the crisis of being frozen into an ice sculpture, his psychological defenses finally collapsed.
Ah, the more eloquent and flattering a person is, the more afraid of death they are; nothing more.
But Ye Kai doesn't dislike people like that.
After all, they all have to be tough nuts to crack.
That would be troublesome if he couldn't get any information out of him.
"I said it, I said it all, stop it!!"
"We have about 8000 people in this underworld..."
8000 people! ?
He was taken aback at first.
Ye Kai couldn't help but sneer, "Nonsense!"
Is Yaksha capable of injecting gene-altering agents into so many people?
The total number of registered trainers in the Dragon Kingdom Alliance is just over 30...
You should know that last year's population was 8.9 million!
This still includes the "trainee trainer" group.
To be honest, they've had gene-editing injections.
They are all capable of intimidating spirits below level 45!
Those are all exceptional individuals; their total number would definitely not exceed 6.
You're a demon.
How could a force entrenched in an unstable region have eight thousand people?!
Who the hell would believe that?
What do these 8000 people eat and use?
Do you really think they can just spout off about "30 iron cavalry"?!
Moreover, the destructive gene originated from a clone of Mewtwo's brain cells.
This kind of thing has a very, very low survival rate in vitro.
How could a Yaksha possibly get his hands on something like this?
The "eight thousand" figure is probably just a slogan used to fool the lower classes and to boast.
Could the Yaksha possibly be a force of nature, where everyone is a soldier?!
In Ye Kai's view.
The fact that the Yaksha sect has been able to occupy the Siamese region for so many years is already its limit.
Even the intelligence he obtained indicated that the entire leadership of the Yaksha Cult had been replaced.
The original members have long since passed away and are now in blissful paradise.
It has grown to its current size through continuous mergers and reorganizations with other organizations over the years.
Forget about that for now.
"So what is your purpose?"
"Heh... Our goal, of course, is to build a world where only we can survive!"
The boy became very energetic when he talked about this.
This is different from the version Ye Kai had heard before. It seems that the so-called equality of all attributes is just a facade in the end.
The boy spoke eloquently, expounding on the doctrines of the Yaksha Cult and launching into a frantic promotion.
When Ye Kai heard it.
Yaksha plans to further expand the area of the "Netherworld," which is also known as the "Poison Coffin."
Until the entire globe is covered...
At that time, those who have not been "blessed" by the Yaksha Cult will all die!
madman.
This is another bunch of lunatics!
Although such a world does not pose much of a threat to Ye Kai.
After all, he possesses a system and has antibodies against all poisons.
He has already managed to survive in this area.
But such a highly poisonous planet as Terra is not something he wants to see.
In the entire world, only three types of Pokémon can survive?
Haha, what will happen if there are internal conflicts among the three attributes?
Does this mean we have to create a hierarchy of superiority and inferiority, form a social stigma, and discriminate against someone again?
Moreover, would the mythical beasts of this world agree?
Ye Kai had no intention of getting involved in this matter, since the league couldn't just sit idly by.
It's not his place to worry about all that.
Ye Kai had Bulbasaur imprison the boy entirely in an underground tree root cage.
Then I just tossed him some food.
As for the three Poké Balls and the map on his person, Ye Kai confiscated them.
"I see……"
No wonder they survived even with such a thick fog.
They shouldn't be able to find each other either.
Yaksha has three of its own secret realms, where many low-level spirits reside.
These three secret locations are marked on the map.
However, Ye Kai did not plan to go to these places; the secret realm was the place he wanted to bypass.
The entrance to the secret realm must be heavily guarded.
There are a lot of enemies; if you try to sneak in, you'll be dead!
The Yaksha Cult has its own secret realm, which gives it the means to fight against the Alliance.
The more Ye Kai learned about it, the more interested he became in some of the good things about the Yaksha Cult.
If he can bring back this known intelligence, he will have already completed an A-level mission.
Especially this map!
If we can also bring back the gene serum sample that Yaksha possesses.
That would be an incredible achievement!!
However, Ye Kai did not expect these things.
He doesn't want to go to crowded places at all.
Let's just wander around on the edge.
By constantly interrogating the lone individual, we've already yielded some good results.
Why risk your life?
Having lived two lives, he deeply understands one principle.
People are the most dangerous.
Crowded places are even more dangerous!
He was deep in thought, and hadn't even walked a few hundred steps...
Several tall men dressed in black and gray camouflage were seen repeatedly patrolling the dense forest.
It seems that the kid wasn't lying to Ye Kai.
Yaksha is truly a nation of soldiers!
Whenever he saw someone appear, he would decisively take a detour.
He encountered five groups of people in a row, all of whom he skillfully avoided.
He didn't see a single person over 40 years old among these people, whether male or female!
The enemies were all young and middle-aged.
Each of them was full of vitality and possessed considerable combat power.
Ye Kai's perception abilities were enhanced after being immersed in the water.
They can often detect pheromones even from a considerable distance.
Especially human pheromones.
It can clearly distinguish between men and women, and even smell whether you are healthy or sick.
The people here formed a four-person team to carry out their mission.
Most of them are 2 men and 2 women, but a small number are 1 woman and 3 men.
Each squad has one gas grenade, or even two gas grenades.
Avoiding the patrolling guys requires skill, but also luck.
These trainers patrol at extremely high density, alternating shifts.
He was able to blend in for more than ten minutes without being detected.
It all depends on Gengar's shadow, Crobat's ultrasonic waves, and its own sense of smell.
He could have teamed up with Arcanine to analyze more information using their sense of smell.
However, this place is only home to Poison-type Pokémon.
The other spirits' combat power will be greatly reduced, and they may even have difficulty surviving!
In any case, Ye Kai's good luck seems to have run out.
"Who goes there!"
"stop!"
They were discovered after all.
We have no choice but to fight!
P.S.: I wrote a 4000-word chapter right away.
I recently watched a movie, and I really agree with what the director said.
Don't save the best parts for later.
We start strong and push our limits constantly – that's how we do things.
In fact, the young author can easily write 4000 words a day at a leisurely pace, but when will he be able to write a million words?
