Pokémon: From Magikarp

Chapter 867 Are you still human?

"what happened?"

Fujiwara Susumu cried out in surprise, and even Mizunoto frowned.

Immediately afterwards, in full view of everyone, the space inside the main shrine began to distort, and then a transparent figure slowly appeared from nothing and took the crystal ball from the Shield Sword Monster's hand.

"It's you? Why are you here?"

Alpha, who spoke first, was extremely surprised to see Lin Shi's sudden appearance, but he was more frightened because he knew the strength of the young man in front of him better than anyone else.

Lin Shilai was not here for long, but he just caught up with the key information and learned about Shui Wudeng's purpose. His feeling was right; Shui Wudeng was indeed an old scoundrel.

Now it seems that both they and the Alpha in the B2 base are just part of the other party's plan. He suddenly felt a little worried about Ye Junyue and the others, but when he thought of their strength, he felt it was unnecessary.

As for the crystal ball in his hand, he actually didn't know what would happen if it broke, but so many people were fighting for it, so he might as well keep it with him first, so that he could feel more at ease!

"call."

Holding the crystal ball, Lin Shi looked up at the culprit behind this series of events - Shui Wudeng!

At this moment, the other party did not show any anger because Lin Shi took the crystal ball. His expression was still calm. It was hard to tell what the aura on his body was, but it was definitely far from human...

"Palace Master Shui Wudeng, to satisfy your own selfish desires, you released so many Xiyi Flowers, causing the deaths of so many people in Qizhen City. This is truly too much!"

"Do you think your daughter would be happy if she saw this?"

Lin Shi spoke to Shui Wudeng in a righteous manner, his eyes so sharp that they seemed like needles piercing Shui Wudeng.

But Shui Wudeng just snorted coldly and refused to buy it.

"Hmph, I think my daughter will be thrilled."

"Uh...tsk." Lin Shi scratched his head.

Why doesn't this follow the process?

Didn’t the murderer in Conan cry, kneel, and repent after hearing these words?

"Huh, okay, let's change the subject. Do you really think that by transforming yourself into a Xiyi race physique and then performing some kind of sacrifice to ascend to heaven, you can see your daughter?"

Lin Shi grinned and changed the subject to ask.

"What do you mean?"

Sure enough, Lin Shi's words this time caused Shui Wudeng's emotions to fluctuate. For the first time, Shui Wudeng felt that he could not see through this young captain of Shenzhou, whom he originally did not care about.

"Naive, so naive! What makes you think that the physical condition of the Xiyi people you transformed with this broken flower will be the same as that of normal Xiyi people? Look at yourself now, you are neither human nor ghost!"

Lin Shi pointed at Shui Wudeng and continued.

"I can tell you, if you don't stop, what will greet you will definitely not be your daughter, but your soul!"

Lin Shi spoke word by word, but Shui Wudeng did not waver at all. He had made so much effort and waited for such a long time just for this day. How could he give up everything just because of a few words from an outsider?

"Stop talking nonsense. I won't stop until I see the result with my own eyes. Also, I advise you to leave immediately. This is the last time. Otherwise, you will stay here forever!"

Shui Wudeng slowly closed his eyes, and the image of his daughter flashed before his eyes, and his belief suddenly became stronger.

"You...the scarf you knitted is very beautiful, as white as a cloud."

Suddenly, Lin Shi's expression changed several times and he said something incredible to Shui Wudeng, which immediately made the minds of all the conscious people at the scene go blank.

What the hell?! Did they hear it wrong?

Only Shui Wudeng suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Lin Shi, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

"You...how did you know this? This is what Reina said to me. You have seen Reina, right?"

Shui Wudeng's emotions suddenly erupted, and even the Xiyi Flower in front of him couldn't help but fluctuate, spreading out circles of ripples.

Lin Shi pursed his lips and took a deep breath.

"This is what a girl told me. She also asked me to tell you what she just said, hoping you'd give up everything and stop. She said... she doesn't want to see you fall into the abyss!"

……

Move the time forward a little bit.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

The harsh and dry friction sound echoed in the silent space. Lin Shi and the priest walked side by side in the courtyard leading to the main shrine palace. A swing in the corner was swinging back and forth in the wind.

"Nothing has changed here..."

Walking in the yard, the girl's tone was lonely.

Looking at her, Lin Shi sighed slightly and stopped. The girl next to him immediately noticed it and turned to look at him with a puzzled expression.

"Why don't you leave?"

"I don't know what's going on inside right now. Before that, why don't we have a good chat first."

Lin Shi took the girl's hand and led her to the swing.

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Lin Shi, and I'm the captain of the Shenzhou Second Team in this World Youth Competition. Besides that, I have another identity. I'm the new gatekeeper of the spirit world, responsible for protecting it and preventing it from being disturbed."

Lin Shi read out a long list of names in one breath, looked at the priest seriously, and then blinked, which obviously meant that it was your turn.

"what?"

The priestess stared at Lin Shi blankly, not yet reacting to his words, especially the identity of the gatekeeper of the spiritual world. She had indeed heard of it, but had never heard that a human could hold the position.

"Ahem, that... me."

The priest crossed his slender fingers and rubbed them back and forth, his eyes were vague, and it seemed that he had not thought of what to say.

"Oh, okay, then I'll tell you."

Looking at her, Lin Shi sighed, then walked behind her, thought for a moment, and then continued.

"You concealed your true identity and name, am I right? Miss Mizuno Reina?"

"Ah? What's wrong with you?"

Mizuno Reina widened her eyes and looked back at Lin Shi. She hadn't heard this name for a long time.

"Because I've seen your photo, right here in the main shrine. Although your appearance has changed a lot, some subtle changes cannot be hidden."

Lin Shi had actually recognized her for some time, but he wanted to see what she was up to, so he kept it to himself.

"Ah? You... you already knew everything..."

Mizuno Reina nodded in acknowledgment.

"But compared to this, there is something I want to know more." Lin Shi's voice was low and his expression was a little puzzled.

"Ms. Reina, are you still human?"
