Chapter 378
Chapter 378
"Friend, you are not from Kanto, right? Where are you from?"
Looking at the smiling man holding a teacup, countless thoughts flashed through Yang Yan's mind in an instant, and he also figured out a lot of things.
"I came from Chengdu."
"Chengdu... that's a good place." After a casual sigh, the man asked, "Isn't this the first time my friend has come to Kanto?"
"Chengdu" was not a casual word by Yang Yan. His purpose was to test how much information this person, or the Rockets, had mastered about him.
From the fact that the other party did not question him, he thought that the Rockets should not know much about him.
This made him feel a little relieved.
"This is my second time here."
"It's been a long time since the interval?"
"Three or four months."
"No wonder..."
Facing the questions from the other side, Yang Yan sometimes chose to tell the truth, and sometimes lied. This kind of half-truth is the most difficult to distinguish between the true and the false.
But Yang Yan still didn't know why the other party asked these questions, and how the Rockets knew these.
He felt that he had not stayed in one place for long each time during his two visits to Kanto, and had not come into contact with anyone from Team Rocket...
Wait!
Yang Yan remembered that the only time he had come into contact with Team Rocket was when he came here last time to sell the Pokémon he had harvested from the Lugia Trial Space.
It was also at that time that Yang Yan got the brooch that represented Team Rocket's friend.
And the other party would appear at this time and trade with him, and he didn't want the boss or even other people to be present. He could only think of one reason.
That is, Team Rocket had something to find him.
But he had no conflicts of interest or cooperation with Team Rocket before, so what could they have to find him for?
Combined with Yang Yan's previous analysis, his true identity was not exposed. Yang Yan thought about it and felt that the only problem was the brooch, because although he paid for it at that time, strictly speaking, it was a bit of a forced sale while people were away.
"So, is this person coming to me for trouble because of the brooch?" Yang Yan could only come to this conclusion.
Thinking of this, Yang Yan no longer hesitated, took out the brooch from his bag and put it on the table.
"You came here for this, right?"
"Oh?" Seeing Yang Yan's actions, the man's eyes flashed a gleam, and then he smiled and clapped his hands, saying: "Friends are not simple. You can think of this so quickly, which really makes me look at you with new eyes!"
"Thank you for the compliment. This is the only intersection between me and your Rocket Team," he said, but he was slightly surprised in his heart, because he really guessed it.
However, this leads to another question, that is, in his opinion, there are many people who have brooches, why did the other party notice him?
The man put down his hands and slowly stood up: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Ri Zeng, the captain of the Rocket Team."
"Hello, my name is Yiping."
With too many identities, Yang Yan can now make up a name at will without blinking.
However, as for the identity of Ri Zeng, the captain of the Rocket Team, Yang Yan is still unclear whether he is powerful or not, and what level his status is in the Rocket Team.
After all, Team Rocket is different from ordinary underground organizations, and Yang Yan is from Hoenn, a region that Team Rocket has not yet set foot in, so he really has no idea.
The name "Ippei" is ordinary and seems to be something that was thought up on the spur of the moment. However, even though Rizen knew that the name Yang Yan said was fake, he had no intention of exposing it.
Rizen walked forward and picked up the brooch that Yang Yan had placed on the table: "The reason why I appeared is indeed because of this," he said, and saw him turn his hand and another brooch appeared in his hand.
But these two brooches are not the same at all, no matter the pattern or color.
Yang Yan frowned, not understanding what Rizen meant.
"Since you said you are from Chengdu, I won't hide it from you. The one in your hand was sent out by our Rockets before. It is an old style. The one in my hand is a new style. Three months ago, our Rockets ordered all those who have brooches to replace them with new ones."
"According to statistics, there are only 10 people who have not come yet, but there are still 11 brooches scattered outside..."
Yang Yan didn't know how much impact his previous behavior had, so he naturally couldn't think that the Rockets replaced the new brooch because he took the brooch. Therefore, Ri Zeng's words made him more confused.
But he soon figured out something.
11 brooches, but Ri Zeng said there were only 10 people, and the remaining brooch...
He suddenly realized at this moment that maybe this brooch was not as cheap as he thought. On the contrary, it wasMaybe only a few people are qualified to own it.
That’s why the Rockets acted like this, replacing the old with the new, probably just to find the extra one.
If it’s in someone’s hands, it’s better to find that person, but if it can’t be found, then let the brooch lose its effectiveness directly.
“If it’s really as I thought, then the Rockets will definitely record the person who owns the brooch,” Yang Yan’s brain is running at high speed at this moment: “And the one who is not recorded, wouldn’t it be me?!”
“So, the owner of the extra brooch they are looking for is me?!”
Through reasoning, Yang Yan felt more and more that this should be the correct answer.
Although he looked normal now, his heart was already surging.
He didn’t have the strength to compete with the Rockets now.
This one careless rhythm is the rhythm of death!
Therefore, he had to cover up this matter no matter what.
"So you are looking for that brooch that you don't know where it is?" Yang Yan smiled calmly, "Master Ri Zeng, don't you think it's mine?"
"That's hard to say." Ri Zeng smiled.
"He didn't say yes or no, so he is just suspicious now?" Yang Yan thought.
"I got this brooch by accident. I thought it was useful, so I used it," Yang Yan said as if it had nothing to do with me. "After all, the Rockets' credit is trustworthy. But that's why if you want to punish me for acting under the guise of your Rockets, I can accept it as long as it doesn't kill me."
"As the saying goes, you should take money from others to help them get rid of disasters. Since I did something in the name of your Rockets, it's worth paying a price."
"How did you get this brooch? To be honest, our Rockets are not interested," Ri Zeng put away the two brooches and smiled, "The extra brooch is important but not important. It depends on how the people above see it. We are all working for the people above. I believe my friends can understand, right?"
"Just say it straight. What price do I need to pay?" Yang Yan asked again.
"You want to spend money to get rid of the disaster," Ri Zeng shook his head, "but it can't be so simple. Let me tell you this, if you want to get rid of it, you need to do something for our Rocket Team. If you do it well, we can even give you a new brooch. Our boss said that the Rocket Team is willing to make friends with capable people, but if you don't do it well, our Rocket Team doesn't mind clearing out some useless people who waste food for the world!"
