I lost contact in the world of elves

Standing in front of this energy center with a German corporate logo, the factory building full of large industrial atmosphere brings an inexplicable chill!

The strong industrial atmosphere rotated the surrounding magnetic field, making Chi Zhi feel depressed inside.

Shinji showed his work pass to the heavily guarded guards here, and was let through by the guards.

But when Chizhi and Xiaoyao tried to pass together, the guards stopped them.

"Stop, this is an energy forbidden area, those who are not qualified please stay!"

Just as the two were entangled, Shinji said coldly.

"You are so blind. Can't you even recognize the daughter of Dr. Odamaki, one of the designers here? She wants to show her father's work to her friends. Is there a problem?"

At Shinji's prompting, Xiaoyao quickly took out his trainer qualification certificate.

Seeing the words [Oda Maki Haruka] written on it, the guard quickly apologized.

"Ah... I'm sorry, it turns out she is really Dr. Odamaki's daughter! That's no problem, please feel free to visit, but for the safety of you and your friends, please put on protective clothing!"

Wearing thick insulating protective clothing, Shinji walked into the factory with a sneer.

In the power plant of the Energy Center, countless electrical elves were driven by the device and desperately generating electricity.

From time to time, some elves enter a "dying state" due to taking too long to generate electricity.

Those elves who have entered the [near-death state] are like drained and used batteries. They are unloaded from the power generation device, transported down the assembly line, and thrown into the breeding factory to rest.

After these useless things were replaced, new elves were transported up from the assembly line and installed into the device to replace them in generating electricity...

At this moment, Chichi suddenly understood what the electric elves that Shinji had captured were used for.

These things are batteries for power plants!

An inexplicable sense of familiarity makes Chi Chi’s hair stand on end!

I don’t know why, even though these creatures are not the same species as him, he feels [empathy] for these things...

This terrible sweat-power factory made Xiaoyao's face look increasingly ugly.

She pointed out.

"You... you guys want to do this kind of thing to capture those elves?! You guys are worse than beasts!"

Shinji smiled calmly.

"Miss Xiaoyao, please don't insult the great elf technology like this! Your father's hard work is involved here!"

?!

For a moment, Xiaoyao's face became even more ugly.

"Uh...this...I...my father must have been deceived! He didn't know you would do such a thing, so he helped!"

Shinji, the laborer, was flattered and said.

"Miss Xiaoyao, you praise me too much. Don't use [you] to include me. I am just a hired worker. How can I be qualified to participate in such a great thing? My purpose is very simple.

, I just use legal methods to earn a small amount of salary."

Immediately afterwards, Shinji said in an admiring tone, not knowing whether it was true or not.

"But your father is a great man! If you think about it carefully, without this energy center, where would the electricity supply for surrounding residents be guaranteed? How can the city continue to expand? How can the factory be maintained? How will the alliance's economy be?

Development? How can you play happily in the paradise?"

Recalling the time he spent playing in the amusement park yesterday, Xiaoyao's face became increasingly ugly.

My own happiness is based on the pain of these elves!

Shinji stated the truth without hesitation.

"Remember, we are human beings. Overflowing sympathy for these batteries will only affect our quality of life and the speed of social development! Before using your emotions, think about your previous identity and position!"

The words contained a strong sense of reality, leaving Xiaoyao speechless.

Chi Zhi was also silent, unable to say anything powerful.

He understands that as a human being, he should think and look at problems from the perspective of the human race.

Just seeing those elves working like batteries, he would always think of some humans like them, and he could not help but feel sympathy...

【Loto...】

At this moment, even the APP started to feel sad!

Strong emotions of sadness arose in Chizhi's mind!

The pain those elves suffered was constantly flowing into his mind!

Huo Hong, who was standing aside, touched his belly and felt heartless and secretly thankful in his heart.

Hehe, fortunately I am not an electric elf, otherwise I would be out of luck...

Apparently Huo Hong didn’t know that in the steam age, those who worked as cows and horses in steam engines were all fire-attributed elves...

When the two were silent, Shinji actually made constructive suggestions.

"Well, but Miss Xiaoyao, if you think about it carefully, why do these elves work so hard here without getting a reasonable rest? I think it's probably because there aren't enough elves to generate electricity, so I just need to capture more elves.

, there are enough elves generating electricity here, can the eight-hour work system be implemented on these elves, right?"

Shinji's tone was so serious that Xiaoyao actually believed it for a moment.

"Ah...is that so? I...I misunderstood you!"

Seeing Xiaoyao's appearance, Shinji was also a little surprised.

He only knew that this woman was a bit naive, but he didn't expect that she would be so stupid.

Shaking his head, Shinji changed the topic and said coldly.

"But... who knows about this? After all, society needs to develop, companies need to make money, and the alliance also needs more economic benefits. Maybe when there are more elves here, Devin Company will want to expand to other cities

We also want to build a few new amusement parks and a few more factories, and the alliance also wants to build more cities and expand the metropolitan area..."

"The more we capture, the more we build. I don't know when the eight-hour work system will be implemented one day! Maybe if we capture all the electric elves in the world, they will still have to generate electricity 24 hours a day until they die!"

But it doesn’t matter, it’s not you who generate electricity anyway, why do you care so much, hahahahahahaha——”

Amid unbridled laughter, Shinji turned and left, leaving only Chichi and Xiaoyao speechless.

Xiaoyao asked Chizhi seriously at the door.

"Xiao Zhi, why...why is this happening?"

"..."

Chi Zhi remained silent and speechless.

Because Chi Zhi doesn’t know how to explain these contents to a vested interest in the alliance like Xiaoyao.

Although they are friends, there is an unspeakable gulf between them in terms of class nature.

In the silence, the sound of quarreling came from the door.

I saw the supervisor of Devon Company's power plant talking with an old man with a gray beard.

Seeing each other's faces, Chizhi and Xiaoyao couldn't help but be surprised.

That person is actually Tie Xuan, the leader of Zijin Gym?!

I saw the person in charge of Devon Company saying coldly and ruthlessly.

"Tie Xuan, it was clearly stated in the original contract that your elves are also part of the property of the Great Purple Pansy Company and must stay here to generate electricity! And our Devin Company has not treated you badly!"

"It's because of our Dewen Company that we, the veterans of the Great Purple Pansy Company, have been placed in these very privileged positions so that you can live a high-class life. You should be grateful!"

Tie Xuan changed his past fun-loving persona, put on a mask of pain and said sadly.

"No! I would rather not be the owner of the museum! Please return my elf to me!"

Immediately, people from Devon Company gradually surrounded him and drove him out of the road.

"That's enough! Don't pester us anymore. Although we are a conscientious company, we can't tolerate you being so messy! Finally, I'll give you a piece of advice. Be your boss and don't do boring things. You also

You are a young man, so you should take care of yourself!"

After Tie Xuan was dragged out of the power plant with a sad look on his face, Chi Zhi and Xiao Yao quickly stepped forward upon seeing this.

"Uncle Tie Xuan! What's going on?!"

Seeing the two of them, Tie Xuan was startled and finally sighed.

On a secluded bench, Tie Xuan slowly recalled the past...

"This energy center was founded by me, Solans, Kusnogi, and several trainers who love to do research..."

Solans?!

Chi Chi felt a little familiar when he heard this name.

If I remember correctly, when they were underground in the Stone Cave, the person who helped Team Ocean extract the energy of the Gulan meteorite was called Dr. Solans.

But Chi Chi immediately felt a little confused.

Because from the age point of view, there seems to be some mismatch. That person looks a full generation younger than Tie Xuan...

While Chi Zhi was thinking, Tie Xuan continued his story.

"At that time, Zijin was just a small village without a gym. What we initially created was just a small power station with several power generation facilities. With the convenience brought by the energy provided by the power station, more and more people

We came to Zijin and built this place. Later, the power station became bigger and bigger, and it became the current energy center. With the development of the energy center, we also established the Big Zijin Company and even built the New Zijin Paradise.

…”

Xiaoyao said with some disbelief.

"So uncle, are you doing all this in the Energy Center? In order to make money, you actually..."

Sighing, Tie Xuan shook his head and said.

"That's not the case. According to the design plan, the elves can freely enter and leave the power station to generate electricity according to their own wishes every day. We have not forced any elves to perform labor!"

"Ah?! This..."

Xiaoyao was even more unbelievable after hearing this.

Let the elves enter and exit the power plant freely and generate electricity spontaneously?

In her opinion, this is simply a fantasy!

"Could it be that you didn't use the elf balls to control them back then? The elves in the power plant were all wild existences?"

Tie Xuan recalled the past and sighed with a smile.

"It's hard to imagine, but it is a fact. There was a time when we had such incredible cooperation with the electric elves around Zijin. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Devon Company had already noticed our project

, after the energy center is completed, they want to step in and acquire us..."

"Of course we don't want these big companies to get involved, because we know their greed is never-ending! But the subsequent development was beyond our expectations, and my power plant was exposed by the media!"

After hearing this, Chizhi already knew the direction of the next plot.

You know, the power of public opinion is incredible, and sometimes it is more effective than pure violence.

Tie Xuan sighed.

"The news media began to report overwhelmingly on the safety hazards of our power station, publicizing the dangers of wild elves in the power plant freely entering and exiting the surrounding residents, and some people began to march on the streets to protest. In the end, our power plant had to be shut down.

…”

"Without the power plant, New Zijin Paradise could not operate, and funds could not be recycled. It didn't take long for the entire Da Zijin Company to go bankrupt. After that, Devin Company acquired and reorganized Da Zijin Company without any effort.

industries, including this power plant.”

Chi Chi sneered.

He knew that the place here was not simple.

The water behind Devon Company may be very deep...

Xiaoyao also felt that something was not right, and she said angrily.

"That's wrong! Why is it that no one is reporting on the fact that they are oppressing and exploiting elves like this now?! Didn't anyone in the news media find out?"

Faced with Xiaoyao's innocent thoughts, Chizhi was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to explain to her.

Tie Xuan shook his head helplessly.

"It's useless. According to the laws of the alliance, elves are just tools without human rights. Moreover, Devon Company is secretly supported by people within the alliance. They can control the media and public opinion at will. We can only be at the mercy of others in front of them.

…”

For a moment, Xiaoyao had an incredible look on his face and said in disbelief.

"How...how is this possible?! There is actually such a person in the alliance, using such despicable means to help Devon Company?! I...we need to report it to the alliance and investigate this matter!"

Chizhi was speechless again for Xiaoyao's innocence.

The other person is simply a flower living in a greenhouse and has no idea how complicated the world is.

In her eyes, maybe the alliance is as good as they advertise, right?

Tie Xuan smiled happily, but tried to dissuade the other party.

"Xiaoyao, although I know you are a good boy, I still don't want to get involved in this matter anymore. Many things in the alliance are not something you can understand. If you do this, you may bring a lot of trouble to your father.

Troubled…”

Chi Chi also smiled bitterly.

Maybe it will be traced to your own home. Didn’t your father also have a share of the credit for the renovation of the energy center...

Xiaoyao was very frustrated.

She didn't expect that the alliance would cover up such a thing!

Wasn't the Alliance founded by the great pioneers to safeguard the beauty and peace of the world?

how come……

Tie Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly.

"The Devon Company took away not only everything about Pansy, but also my ideals and passion. Since then, I have been in despair. I have even lost the thought of getting married and having children. I can only find some passion in the Elf Duel.

Red Riding Hood boy, thank you so much before. The duel with you has allowed me to regain some of my former impulsive passion..."

"..."

Damn, it’s really [Humanoid Rejuvenation Powder]...

Chi Chi didn't know what to say to this old, wizened man who was masturbating with elf duels.

I just don’t know what it means...

"Tie Xuan, instead of sitting here and sighing, why not take action yourself and get back what belongs to you!"

?!

Unconsciously, a powerful sound like a loud bell shook Chizhi's ears.

He immediately understood that there was someone behind him!

Just by listening to the voice, Chizhi could imagine that an extremely burly man had sat on the bench behind everyone at some point.

Without looking back, Chizhi felt a huge sense of mental oppression that made him unable to twist his neck!

This is the state reached by the extremely powerful power of control!

Just like Genji easily suppressed the red without relying on the Poké Ball, this man easily suppressed Akachi, making him unable to move!

Characteristic [sense of oppression]!

Trembling.

Xiaoyao's hands have been shaking uncontrollably...

Because her body felt the aura of terror!

That is something that ordinary trainers cannot feel!

In front of this man, the trainers she usually sees are all docile, harmless, tamed domestic animals!

But this man is completely different. He is a ferocious beast, an untamed wild animal that can break free from all restraints and violently hurt people at any time and at any time!

Who is this man?
