Chapter 248 Jinhui Town, the working emperor Aoki!
"Don't worry, wait for me to contact the alliance and confirm the situation, okay?"
Luo Mu tried his best to calm Papa's emotions with a soothing tone. He could also understand Papa's panic and confusion.
Originally, his parents had been away from home for several months because of their research on the Padia Pit. The agreed routine contact was inexplicably interrupted for unknown reasons. Now that Orange Academy was on hold, it was easiest for him to have wild thoughts when he was alone.
There is a traceable path from Piper's emotional outburst to her turning to herself for help.
Perhaps because trust had been established, Olin and Futu told Papa before leaving that they could try to seek Luo Mu's help if they had any problems, and his comfort was very effective.
Piper, who was curled up in the corner of the bed on the other end of the phone, calmed down a little. He glanced at the Mastiff Godfather and the Greedy Chinchilla who were anxiously circling beside the bed, gave them a forced smile, and then spoke to the phone: "Well, I understand. I will wait patiently."
Luo Mu nodded slightly: "Wait for my news."
After hanging up the call with Papa, Luo Mu hesitated for a moment and then called Ye Ci's private number again.
The alliance's business calls may be answered by Ye Ci's secretary, or they may be busy, but private calls are generally guaranteed to be accessible.
After a few rings, the call was connected, and Ye Ci's somewhat puzzled voice came through the microphone: "Luo Mu, are you here to discuss with me what I asked Basaku to tell you that night?"
"No, we'll talk about that later." Luo Mu shook his head and said in a deep voice, "President, what I want to ask now is about the Padiya Giant Pit research project that Dr. Olin and Dr. Futu have been promoting. Do you know that they may have lost contact?"
Hearing this, Ye Ci's expression on the other end of the phone changed slightly, and he said, "I'll check with the personnel at the Zone Zero gate right away."
After a moment, Ye Ci's voice continued to ring out: "It is true that we haven't received any communication from the Zero Zone Gate for four or five days. However, the Padiya Crater is still a place full of mysteries. There have been precedents of sudden strong magnetic fields causing signal interruptions from time to time in the past."
"The staff there thought this was a normal phenomenon and that communications would generally be restored in a few days, so they did not report it."
Luo Mu said in a deep voice: "But if something unexpected happens, it will be too late."
Ye Ci nodded: "I think so too. The search team is already preparing."
".I'm planning to go down there."
Luo Mu's words were shocking, and even Ye Ci showed a surprised expression.
She asked softly, "Is it because of the two doctors' child? I remember his name was Piper, and he was a good kid with a kind heart."
Luo Mu nodded gently: "He is very uneasy now. Even if you, the president, want to prepare a qualified exploration team in all aspects, it will take some time. It is better for me to enter the giant pit alone."
Ye Ci was silent for a moment: "The environment there is very dangerous. There are a lot of wild Pokémon that have lived in the giant pit for a long time, isolated from the outside world. After fighting, their temperaments still retain their primitive side and are very ferocious. It does take time to prepare."
"Perhaps it would be faster for you to break in alone, but you have never been into the Padiya Pit. The environment there is complicated and you will get lost if you are not careful."
"Go find Aoki and ask him to go into the giant pit with you. It was Aoki who escorted the two doctors when they restarted the Taile Project last time." After finishing the call with Ye Ci, Luo Mu called Papa back and calmly told him that he was now preparing to enter the Padiya giant pit and asked him to stay at home quietly and wait for his contact.
Then, Luo Mu summoned Zhihuixing and the others and told the Pokémon that he would be away for a few days due to an emergency and might not be back in a short time.
At the same time, he summoned several Pokémon to follow him into the Padiya Pit.
Five Pokémon, including Swampert, Mimikyu, Serpentier, Dragonite, and HealCare, followed him, while Catelyn and Bladeblade were responsible for guarding the safety of the farm.
Even though there was no major danger in the Padia region, Luo Mu felt that when he went out, he must leave a few reliable fighters behind to ensure that nothing could go wrong.
Since the Padiya Pit has been able to maintain its mystery for such a long time, it must have a different side to it. Although Luo Mu has gone through the entire process of Area Zero in the game, he would not think that Area Zero is a good place for an outing just because of his so-called game memory.
Bring along Swampert, who has temporarily become the new ace thanks to Mega evolution, and three other main forces, plus the Flower Healer, who is specialized in medical and can unexpectedly fight with Serpentine in battle.
Luo Mu also took out the Z bracelet, the ground-type Z pure crystal, the grass-type Z pure crystal, the Mimikyo Z pure crystal, the Taijing bead and the evolution key stone that he had already embedded in the necklace.
It can be said that it is fully armed.
After all, Luo Mu couldn't guarantee at this time whether Olin and Dr. Futu had encountered some difficult enemies or the signal had simply not been restored.
Because the situation was somewhat urgent, Luo Mu simply gave Zhi Huixing some general instructions on some precautions on the farm and then rode Dragonite into the sky, flying directly towards Jinhui Town.
Jinhui Town is located in the western part of Padia region. It is a town with a strong nostalgic atmosphere. It is full of food restaurants lined up one after another, which represents the developed food culture of Jinhui Town.
Luo Mu set out at around three o'clock and arrived at Jinhui Town around five o'clock. He was quite familiar with the surrounding environment and did not take the time to appreciate the endless stream of people who came around to taste the food.
After taking back Dragonite, Luo Mu trotted all the way to Bao Restaurant, the most famous food restaurant in the city.
The reason why Luo Mu did not go to Jinhui Gym was very simple.
He knew Brother Aoki's character very well. Years of corporate life had smoothed out his edges and he was in a state of decadence. Suddenly, when he received a message from Ye Ci that he would have to enter the Padiya Pit to work 24 hours a day for an unknown number of days, he would definitely run to Bao Canteen to eat delicious food in silence to heal himself.
When you push the door open, the first thing you see is the battle area made of tatami mats. Aoki likes to hold gym battles here, and Luo Mu has also fought with Aoki in this area before.
The nostalgic gaze lingered on the field for a moment, and Luo Mu shifted his gaze to the man at the bar next to him with drooped shoulders, making the slim suit that should have brought out his spirit look decadent.
The man scooped out the steaming and fragrant delicious omelette rice spoonful by spoonful. His prominent hairline and dark circles under his eyes were proof of his hard work.
He is the working emperor of Padiya, the ultimate office worker - Brother Aoki!
