Elf Invasion: I live broadcast popular science Pokémon

"The sea return ceremony?"

"Um."

The owner of the inn is an uncle who looks to be in his thirties. When he heard that Chen Mo wanted to inquire about the fruit shop opposite, he hesitated for a while, and then chatted with Chen Mo about a tradition in Crescent Town .

"Mr. Mo, you may also know that our Xinyue Town was originally developed by fishing. Our ancestors were a group of fishermen who lived a very simple life. They used boats as their homes every day and drifted on the boundless sea for a long time. Relying on the resources in the sea, generations of people in Crescent Town have been fed."

"When I was very young, my grandfather warned those of us of the younger generation: We must be grateful to the sea and be in awe of the sea. In order to survive, we plunder and ask for what we need from the sea. Then, always One day, we too should return ourselves to the sea, or else we will meet the wrath of the sea."

"It sounds complicated, right? But the actual operation is actually very simple. In short, the sea has nurtured us. After we die, we also need to return our most important body and soul to the sea."

"The ancestors of Crescent Town believed that in this way, a relatively balanced relationship between humans and the sea can be maintained, and the sea can continue to protect the people here in the years to come."

"Later, this tradition gradually gained a name, which is what I mentioned just now—the Sea Return Ceremony."

Chen Mo nodded with a thoughtful expression.

The audience in the live broadcast room was also discussing.

[The so-called sea return ceremony is what we usually call a sea burial, right? 】

[It may be that inland areas, some compatriots who pay attention to 'burying in peace' are a little bit unclear, so I live in coastal areas and let me briefly mention that although sea burials are not popular in our country, they still have a certain historical origin In ancient times, people sent dead bodies into the sea, the most important thing is to let the younger generation respect nature, and also to warn the younger generation not to overfish fish. 】

[I understand this, the dark symbol of nature, people come from nature, and should return to nature after the end of life, hahahaha, fellow daoists, I understand! 】

[Don't go crazy here! 】

After pausing for a moment, Chen Mo asked again.

"Those government officials are looking for Ms. Qin for the return ceremony of the sea?"

"Yes."

The innkeeper nodded, looked through the gate of the inn, and glanced at the closed fruit shop.

"About half a year ago, a big event happened here. Many wild elves living in the sea suddenly broke into the town."

"I know this."

Chen Mo echoed an idea that had already popped up in his mind.

The innkeeper sighed softly.

"Aunt Qin's son, unfortunately, died in that disaster."

"..."

Chen Mo didn't say much.

According to what the hotel owner said just now, he had already guessed the result.

"After the disaster was over, the relevant personnel found out the identity of each of the unfortunate victims, and most of the remains were claimed by their families, and the sea return ceremony was completed, but only Aunt Qin refused to claim her The son's bones, the obvious reason, Mr. Mo, you may have heard it upstairs just now, every time you say you don't know that kind of bone, and then drive away the relevant personnel sent by the government."

"An obvious reason?"

Chen Mo caught the key words in the innkeeper's words.

"Well, the apparent reason."

The expression on the innkeeper's face was complicated.

"About Aunt Qin's reluctance to accept her son's remains, there are many rumors in the town. Some people say that Aunt Qin is resenting her son's overreach, while others say that Aunt Qin is resenting our town. Everyone."

"Sounds weird, doesn't it?"

"But if you know what kind of person Aunt Qin's son is, you can probably understand."

"Qin Kaicheng, this is the name of Auntie Qin's son. He is about the same age as me. He is a very righteous person, and he acts quite freely."

"When the elves first came to this world, the people in our town, like most people in other places, were deeply wary of the elves. During that time, the fishermen in the town even reduced the number of times they went to sea every day. A lot, and our place depends on the fishing industry for survival, so naturally, the economy has slowly declined."

"At this time, Qin Kaicheng, under the leadership of a man named Yu Heguang, began to promote with some people in the town, 'Don't be too afraid of monsters, we don't take the initiative to hurt monsters, and monsters won't hurt us' remarks like that."

Chen Mo was taken aback.

The barrage in the entire live broadcast room also exploded instantly.

【real or fake! ? 】

[It seems that this person named Yu Heguang is obviously a fan of Mr. Mo, right? 】

[Brother in front, what are you thinking? Pay attention to the timeline, Mr. Mo started the live broadcast in February this year, and it was also at the beginning of February that Crescent Town was invaded by wild elves. According to the current statement of the hotel owner, Yu Heguang's promotional activities , obviously earlier! 】

[Things are starting to get interesting...]

Chen Mo's heart trembled slightly, but soon calmed down.

There is always no shortage of enlightened people in this world.

Although most people hold deep hostility towards the elves, the extraordinary beings that descended suddenly, there are always a small number of people who realize that elves are not as evil as ordinary people imagined.

And this kind of person, Chen Mo has actually come into contact with a long time ago.

That's right.

It is Professor Zhou who has given Chen Mo a lot of convenience and is still fighting for the common future of humans and elves at the United Earth Conference.

For Chen Mo, they are the real pioneers.

A trace of respect rose slightly in my heart.

And the innkeeper's story continued.

"At that time they also invited me, but I refused because I was too scared. Now that I think about it, they are really a group of guys who have to. Before our thoughts have turned around, they have already taken the most important step. In that step, even to show the harmlessness of the elves, many people inside took the initiative to raise elves."

"It's a pity, it's a pity."

The innkeeper said two startling things.

Gao Tianming, the top eight player in the Pikachu Cup, is a member of that team, and also the youngest one.

When the wild elves in the ocean invaded Crescent Town, it was this group of people with lofty ideals who stood up and led their elves to prevent the destruction of the wild elves.

It's just that the result is not as good as expected.

Except for Gao Tianming, who was not in Xinyue Town at the time, everyone else, including the team leader, Yu Heguang, died in that disaster.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was much heavier with the innkeeper's description.

[I don't know why, but I suddenly feel very uncomfortable. 】

【You may have forgotten that before Teacher Mo was born, the situation in Zhuxia was such a mess. If you don’t believe me, you can go abroad to see how bad it is. 】

[No, no, what makes us uncomfortable is not how good the status quo has become, but that Yu Heguang and Qin Kaicheng in Xinyue Town at that time clearly advocated harmonious coexistence with the elves, but in the end they died at the hands of the elves On, it sounds, it feels too ironic. 】

【Evil elves! Can Teacher Mo punish them? It’s not right, it’s been so long, the group of elves from back then probably disappeared long ago...]

[So, why did the group of wild elves living in the sea suddenly attack Crescent Town? 】

[It's not so good, there are foreigners watching in the live broadcast room, this wave may cause them a lot of psychological shadow, ahem, I hope foreign friends don't panic, most elves are actually very friendly. 】

[I feel sorry for Gao Tianming, I feel that Gao Tianming's performance in the Pikachu Cup has always been very sunny, but I didn't expect him to have such a past...]

Chen Mo also sighed slightly in his heart.

He glanced at the fruit shop across the street, then back at the innkeeper.

"Is that charming cat the elf that Qin Kaicheng used to be?"

"Um."

The innkeeper nodded slightly, his expression full of guilt.

"After the large-scale invasion of elves, the residents of the town who had changed their views on elves, became extremely disgusted with elves again. Together with the group of elves who once protected us and belonged to Yu Heguang and the others, they were also attacked by us. She was expelled from the town, but Charming Meow was adopted by Aunt Qin at the time."

"Um…"

Chen Mo frowned slightly.

He felt a little strange.

If Ms. Qin really resented her son, she shouldn't take the initiative to adopt Charming Meow, and judging from the performance between Ms. Qin and Charming Meow in the fruit shop before, the relationship between one person and one elf is obviously very strong. better.

"Mr. Mo, it seems that you have also discovered it."

The innkeeper said softly.

"If Aunt Qin really resented Kai Cheng, she would not take the initiative to raise Charming Meow. Therefore, regarding Aunt Qin's reluctance to claim Kai Cheng's remains, I personally prefer the second statement, Aunt Qin is resenting us Everyone in town."

Although the specific reason why the group of wild elves in the sea invaded Crescent Town is still unknown, most of the residents of Crescent Town, and even some experts, generally believe that it was after the intensified conflict between humans and elves. inevitable result.

after all.

At that time, in Xinyue Town, not everyone was convinced by the organization led by Yu Heguang. Some people still held on to their inherent concepts and hated the elves who suddenly came to this world.

Therefore, in the eyes of some current residents of Crescent Town, Ms. Qin hates the residents of the town. If the residents of the town were willing to let go of their prejudice against elves, the disaster might not have happened. Her son Qin Kaicheng also Will not die to protect the townspeople.

——

"Thank you Brother Xiaochuan, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer my questions. Thank you very much. When I return to Anping City, I will definitely bring you some specialties from here."

Back in the hotel room, Chen Mo immediately activated his relationship, hoping to find a trace of the answer he wanted from the official internal investigation.

"Then I'm not going to be polite. I heard that the dried salted fish over there is quite good. You can bring me twenty or thirty pieces later. Anyway, Geng Gui is here. You can bring as many as you can, and I will save them all." .”

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Yichuan was just as he said, not at all polite.

"But having said that, you still hid quite deeply, you even ran directly to that place in Crescent Town, forget it, anyway, you should pay more attention to your safety, there are too many mysteries in Crescent Town, if you can Solve all the mysteries of this incident, and we can completely close the case here."

"That's it, remember my dried salted fish, and contact me anytime if you need anything."

Zhou Yichuan, who acted quite freely, hung up the phone without talking nonsense.

Chen Mo, who was about to ask something, shook his head helplessly when he heard the busy voice coming from his ear.

There is a cause and an effect.

Regarding the large-scale invasion of Crescent Town by wild elves in the sea, the analysis of the experts has some truth, and it must not escape the intensification of the conflict between humans and elves.

but.

Judging from some past residents' behaviors of Crescent Town, although there were minor frictions, the conflict between the two sides would not cause a group of elves living in the sea to take the initiative to go out to sea and invade the town.

Behavioral logic is not reasonable.

Chen Mo felt that there must be other hidden factors that caused the wild elves to go out to sea and invade the town.

And the Countermeasures Bureau thinks so too, so they keep sending people to Crescent Town to investigate.

But unfortunately.

The team headed by Yu Heguang had an embarrassing position in Xinyue Town back then, and very few people were willing to contact them. It became completely confusing.

"Are you so sure that the human named Yu Heguang is related to this incident?"

Machado's figure emerged from the shadow world. It skillfully picked up a box of elf cubes on the table, opened it, and asked Chen Mo curiously.

"It's not surprising that it is like this."

Chen Mo said softly.

"Otherwise, there is no need for Yu Heguang and the others to deliberately dismiss Gao Tianming who doesn't understand anything and has a carefree personality at that time."

That's right.

The countermeasure bureau provided Chen Mo with a very important piece of information.

As if they had expected the disaster long ago, Yu Heguang and others sent Gao Tianming to a town far away from Xinyue Town on the morning of the wild elves' invasion of the town, and asked him to help carry out the disaster in the town. promotional activity.

This timing is so ingenious, so ingenious that Chen Mo still has many people in the countermeasures who have to doubt it.

but……

Standing by the window, Chen Mo frowned slightly as he looked at the soft lights on the second floor of the fruit shop.

After the innkeeper's explanation and the countermeasure bureau's investigation materials, Chen Mo found that not only the confusion in his heart had not been completely resolved, but he felt that there were more and more mysteries here.
