Pokémon: From Magikarp

Chapter 844 Landing on the Shore

"There seems to be a smell of blood, do you smell it?"

On the cruise ship that had already sailed away, Feng Yin sniffed the blood brought by the wind and asked with a frown.

But except for him, everyone else shook their heads. Lin Shi didn't reply, but looked at his hands and whispered to himself.

“I didn’t expect it to be so useful…”

The sudden counterattack of the Howler Whale King was naturally the result of Lin Shi's influence. The blessing of the sea that Manaphy brought to him could naturally gain the favor and trust of the sea elves, coupled with the unique ability of super-power to communicate with the inner world of the elves.

The Howling Whale King almost instantly regarded Lin Shi as a very good friend, and the slow-witted Howling Whale King would naturally listen to his friends...

But such a clean and neat operation still surprised him a little, but he had no regrets at all. Those illegal whalers were simply desperate criminals and deserved to die. If the people on the ship today were ordinary people, their fate would be unimaginable.

As for catching them and taking them back as Feng Yin said, that would be even more impossible. Since they could catch whales and sell them in the Sakura area, it meant that there must be forces protecting them. If they were taken back, not only would they not be dealt with according to the law, they might even be blamed for it. This was something Lin Shi could not accept.

So he could only make them suffer. Anyway, Lin Shi felt that he was still kind and gave them a quick death...

……

"Ah ah ah..."

Several long-winged gulls were flying and roaring in the sky. Against the backdrop of the morning sun, their flying posture was extremely agile.

Lin Shi, who was leaning on the mast, watched this scene. He really wanted to ask these long-winged gulls if they were in a hurry to go to the dock to get some French fries.

Because... he could vaguely see the port!

"Phew, it's finally here."

Although the few days of sea travel did cure Huang Chenyu's seasickness, it seems that he still doesn't like life on the ship. When he has time, he would rather ride a Dragonite and fly in the sky than take a boat.

"Brother Lin, Brother Huang, good morning, would you like to have breakfast?"

Mo Caiyi poked her head out from behind the cabin door and looked at the two people on the deck and asked, but before Lin Shi and the others could respond, Feng Yin walked out from the side with excitement on his face.

"Why breakfast? We're almost there, so of course we'll eat ashore. I heard the local cuisine is quite unique, I'll treat everyone!"

Several people nodded when they heard this. After all, the food had been so monotonous over the past few days that they couldn't help but want to change the taste.

"Well, follow my command and set off at full speed!"

Feng Yin stood at the bow and gave loud commands. With the sound of the whistle, the cruise ship sped towards the port at full speed.

Finally, after about half an hour, several people set foot on this foreign land. This was also Lin Shi’s first time to come to other areas, and he felt a bit fresh.

"We are currently in the Dragon Palace Port in Qizhen City in the Sakura region. This is a tourist city with a competition challenge point. Successful challenges will earn you badges. According to the competition requirements, it would be best if we could get two or three badges in the Sakura region."

Ye Junyue was still so conscientious and responsible. He used his mobile phone to look up the map and spoke to the team members.

"Is this...really a tourist town? Even if it's not peak season, there shouldn't be only these few people here."

I looked around and found that although the buildings were quite stylish, there were very few pedestrians, only a few scattered staff members.

"Eh? Normally, shouldn't there be beautiful journalists visiting? Even if we weren't the first to arrive, we shouldn't be left out like this."

Feng Yin's train of thought was different from that of an ordinary person. He scratched his head and said strangely that he had even thought about what to say during the interview.

"Here, over there."

As he was speaking, Huang Chenyu nudged Feng Yin with his shoulder and nodded to the person beside him. Then he saw a young boy walking towards him with a microphone and a photographer.

"It's a pity she's not a beauty, so I'll just make do with it."

Huang Chenyu crossed his arms and teased Feng Yin.

"Hello, fellow contestants from the Shenzhou region! Welcome to the Sakura region. We are reporting from the Asahi Shimbun and would like to interview you. Do you have a moment?"

The boy spoke in broken Chinese. After hearing this, they looked at each other. Finally, Lin Shi nodded and said:

"Of course, no problem, but before that, can I ask you something? Did something happen here? Why are there so few people here?"

Lin Shi asked casually, but the reporter's face suddenly turned pale when he heard his words, and then he stammered and explained:

"Yes... because someone has sighted a giant stinging jellyfish in the nearby waters, so to protect the safety of tourists, the Sakura Alliance has temporarily closed the city to tourism."

"But don't worry, the Sakura Alliance has made all the necessary preparations. This time, we will definitely wipe out the entire Stinging Jellyfish clan, so things will soon return to their former glory."

The reporter seemed very professional. Although his face looked unhappy, he still tried his best to use nice words to express himself in front of the camera.

"Giant stinging jellyfish?"

Lin Shi touched his chin and thought. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the champion-level stinging jellyfish known as the Four Emperors of the South China Sea that he encountered in the South China Sea. At that time, Lin Shi heard that it had a grudge with the Sakura area, and he didn't expect that it would choose this time to come.

"but……"

Thinking of this, Lin Shi glanced at the reporter again. He always felt that the other party's expression was not just that simple, there seemed to be another hidden story!

"Feng Yin, I'll leave this to you. Haven't you been prepared for this? Let's finish this quickly. You still have to treat everyone to dinner."

Lin Shi patted Feng Yin and said, when he heard Lin Shi's words, the other party looked miserable. He was originally planning to flirt with the Sakura girl, but now she has fallen into the hands of this man.

While Feng Yin was being interviewed, Lin Shi came to Ye Junyue, who was operating a computer at the moment.

"Did you find anything?"

In addition to being a powerful trainer, Ye Junyue is also an expert in computer operation. Almost all the information they need for this competition trip comes from her.

Hearing Lin Shi's words, Ye Junyue raised her head and blinked at Lin Shi with a strange expression.

"I did find some things. The reporter obviously didn't tell me all the reasons. Although the giant stinging jellyfish is definitely a factor in Qizhen City's current decline in popularity, it's more due to some strange things that have happened in the city recently!"

"Strange? What exactly is it?"

Lin Shi's eyes flashed, his curiosity was aroused, and he looked at Ye Junyue and continued to ask.

"Here, take a look for yourself. It's a bit miserable."

As he spoke, Ye Junyue moved the computer in front of Lin Shi. What caught Lin Shi's eyes was a series of homicides that had occurred in Qizhen City in the past six months. The severity of the crimes was gradually getting worse as time went on!

"You see, even though these things seem to have been suppressed by the top leaders of Qizhen City, they still can't stop the people from talking about them."

"You know what they say?"

Ye Junyue approached Lin Shi and asked mysteriously.

"They say these tragedies happened because of—hauntings!"
