Chapter 10 Common modus operandi in detective films
"We are Team Rocket! Everyone, don't move. Raise your hands above your head!"
After immediately dealing with the few security guards on the first floor by siege, Team Rocket members threatened the ordinary citizens visiting the museum to raise their hands, and sent three team members to search them one by one.
Zhou You in the crowd couldn't help but frowned as he watched the Rocket members slowly walk towards his position.
These people didn't steal money or hurt people (unless they resisted). Their purpose was very clear, they specialized in taking away the Poké Balls from people.
At the same time, another part of Team Rocket held the museum staff hostage and sent 17 members to the second floor.
"Let's talk it over nicely. Please don't use force." After a while, the curator was dragged out of the office by two team members. "Just don't use force. I'll satisfy you with whatever you want!"
"Really? I don't believe it." Judging from his attire, a man who looked like the captain stepped forward and took a Poké Ball from the curator's waist. "Tsk tsk, a fossil helmet. One of these things is sold for hundreds of thousands on the black market."
"Whether to use force or not depends on your sincerity."
Putting the Poké Ball containing the fossil helmet into his bag, the man who looked like the captain asked with his hands behind his back, "I heard that the Deep Gray Science Museum recently collected a heavy collection. What is that?"
The curator was unexpectedly silent.
"This won't work, curator. You don't have any cooperative attitude at all. How can I trust you?"
"Do you need me to remind you? That seems to be a special piece of amber."
After a long silence, the curator shook his head: "I don't know what you are talking about. This is a fossil exhibition. You can only find fossils here. Do you want fossils that can revive elves?"
"It seems that you are a little confused. You can't even tell whether the stone is more important or the life is more important." The captain-like man shook his head, "Then let this guy teach you a lesson."
While speaking, the captain of Team Rocket released a stinky mud from the Poké Ball.
...
"Qiao Qiao?"
Seeing the situation develop like this, Zhou You shook the Poké Ball on his waist, and then a phantom sound rang in his ears.
"I'm still thinking of a way." He murmured in a low voice.
The Rocket Team's attack was too sudden, and they knew the structure of the museum very well. They even knew in advance that a certain "mysterious amber" was recently collected here. This made it difficult for Zhou You to imagine that the other party did not conduct strict reconnaissance beforehand.
So what is a more convenient reconnaissance method than planting spies in the other party?
There is a high probability that there are accomplices of Team Rocket in the crowd or among the staff. If we act rashly, we may cause trouble.
Having said that, we can't just sit back and watch Eden and Arthur being taken away. Exposing Eden's true strength in such a place will bring more trouble even if we can easily defeat the opponent.
Therefore, he is still silently judging the best way to act and when to act.
There are 7 members of Team Rocket on the first floor, 17 on the second floor, and 1 captain, a total of 25 people.
This is really not a small number.
But considering the explosion just now, perhaps the longer the time is delayed, the higher the chance that people outside will find abnormalities. If Junsha can notice this...
But from the Rocket Team's leisurely appearance, they don't seem to care much about the situation outside?
After a while, the Rocket Team came to Zhou You after searching him. Out of courtesy, Zhou You smiled and turned sideways to show the Poké Ball on his waist.
"Tsk, even kids have two Poké Balls on their waists these days, give them to me."
The Rocket team member leaned over and reached for Zhou You's waist, but inadvertently found that something seemed wrong behind the sideways child.
Why is there a fox tail sticking out from behind this child?
Just at this moment, the captain's voice rang in his ear: "The old man has finished his instructions, don't search me first, follow me, let's go get the goods!"
Although it was a bit regrettable, after all, it was the captain's personal order, so the search team had to turn around and leave...
But he obviously couldn't get away.
Before the searched Rocket team member left, Eden had already jumped up and hit him in the back of the neck.
At the same time, Zhou You, not far away, secretly released Arthur from the Poké Ball.
Because he had received instructions from Eden in the Poké Ball through illusion, Arthur opened his mouth and sprayed a large smoke screen around him as soon as he landed.
For a time, thick smoke filled the air, and the ten square meters were filled with black smoke screens that blocked the sight of everyone nearby!
"Boring little trick, Zubat, blow it away!" The captain-like person threw out the Poké Ball.
The Pokémon that received the order flapped its wings at a high frequency, and blew away the smoke screen in less than ten seconds.
However, when the smoke screen dissipated, there was no smoke-spraying Charmander in the crowd, no resistance, and even the team members sent to search the body disappeared...
"Who did it?" The captain-like person realized that something was a little wrong.
"I know that person is among you, stand up, or identify him, otherwise all of you will be like this curator."
At this time, the curator had been corroded by the stinky mud and was naked, and even his skin was burned and ulcerated. He looked very miserable. Some timid people in the crowd simply turned their heads and couldn't bear to look directly.
However, Eden had never transformed into Zhouyou from the beginning, and now he had changed his appearance. Naturally, it was impossible for anyone to identify him, a person who didn't exist.
"Too much!"
Just as the crowd was slightly commotion, the boy with yellow hair and straw hat who had accidentally bumped into Zhou You stood up.
"Why do you have to steal museum collections and hurt others? Elves are not meant to do such things!"
"The weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive. This world should be dominated by the strong."
The man who looked like the captain looked at the straw hat boy up and down. Although the boy looked angry, he was still just a child no matter how he looked, and it didn't look like he could resist Team Rocket.
What's more... this straw hat boy seems to have no elf at all.
"I ask again, who did what just happened? If you don't come forward, I will operate on this child first!"
"No, no, don't hurt the children." The curator begged intermittently, "I will tell you the location of Amber."
"Wouldn't it be better if you showed a cooperative attitude earlier? Tell me, where is Amber?"
"Amber is here..."
Just as the man who looked like the captain turned to listen to the information confided by the curator, something strange happened again in the crowd - a large amount of smoke screens began to spread around a certain point.
"Is this the only trick you can do? You won't learn a lesson at all, so--"
Before he finished speaking, two red and white balls hit the big-mouthed bat and its owner from the smoke screen one after another.
