While the精灵 (Jīnglíng, term for Pokemon is kept in pinyin for consistency) were keeping the opposing 精灵 (Jīnglíng) occupied, Lu Li quietly closed the distance between himself and the middle-aged man.
At that moment, the middle-aged man was unaware of the approaching danger, still roaring furiously.
Finally awakened, the Ghost types and other 精灵 (Jīnglíng) launched an attack on the Tropius at the front, even though they were hard-CC'd by Milotic for two waves, they still felt somewhat reluctant to harm such a beautiful 精灵 (Jīnglíng).
Lu Li, who had been paying attention to this scene, found it amusing.
精灵 (Jīnglíng) succubi, nothing more than this.
"Tropius, stall them! Milotic, go help!" Lu Li communicated through telepathy.
"Damn it! After stalling for so long, those officers might be coming," the middle-aged man thought anxiously.
"Gengar! Quickly, a swift victory!" the middle-aged man shouted.
The three 精灵 (Jīnglíng) felt depressed upon hearing their trainer's urging.
Was it something they could speed up if they wanted to?
That damned Tropius was too outrageous; although their attacks and skills landed on it and caused damage, its recovery speed was even faster.
Just as the middle-aged man was about to issue the next command, Lu Li, who had been quietly approaching, moved.
Suddenly erupting, Lu Li instantly arrived in front of the middle-aged man.
A Rising Dragon Fist was unleashed, and a headless corpse flew into the air, landing heavily after forming a graceful arc.
The officers who had arrived on Arcanine just happened to witness this incredibly bloody scene.
The officer riding on the Arcanine roared, "Stop!"
"Gengar!!!"
Gengar let out a tragic cry, then directly abandoned Tropius, turning its attention to Lu Li.
Sableye and Lampent pounced on the corpse on the ground, of which only the back of the head remained.
Lu Li, watching the oncoming Shadow Ball, supported himself with one hand and jumped to dodge.
After dodging the attack, Lu Li shouted again, "Tropius! Magical Leaf! Milotic! Water Gun to take care of Gengar!"
"I told you to stop! Arcanine, use Fire Fang to interrupt them!" the dark-faced officer roared.
Tropius's and Milotic's skills still landed on Gengar, and Gengar, whose body wasn't that great to begin with, was sent flying.
Lu Li seized the opportunity to pick up a Poké Ball, recalled Milotic and Tropius, then ran to the side of Arcanine.
"Officer, I'm this year's examinee; the other party came to assassinate me!" Lu Li directly took out his exam admission ticket and said.
Hearing this, the officer couldn't help but glance at the corpse not far away.
"You're telling me you're this year's high school examinee?" The officer suspiciously took the certificate from Lu Li's hand, and after repeatedly confirming it, he returned the certificate to Lu Li.
"Arcanine, take care of these three 精灵 (Jīnglíng) first," the officer ordered.
Unlike proper trainers, the League's officers generally only have one 精灵 (Jīnglíng), which is their partner, Arcanine.
Arcanine's strength is also very strong, already at the Gym Leader level.
In fact, the League's officers and legions are the backbone of the League; although their 精灵 (Jīnglíng) are singular, the League's official has a rigid but quite useful Arcanine breeding method.
With a Gym Leader-level Arcanine taking action, the three Ghost 精灵 (Jīnglíng) were quickly suppressed.
After using special confinement balls to lock up the three 精灵 (Jīnglíng) who had lost their ability to fight, the officer turned to look at Lu Li.
The officer said, "Come back to the station with me; this matter still requires you to make a statement."
Lu Li nodded.
Lu Li wasn't worried that the officer in front of him was a bad person; although the world's five major leagues were relatively corrupt, their officer system and medical system were quite good.
No cap.
If it weren't for these two groups holding up, the five major leagues would probably have split long ago.
The officer's partner 精灵 (Jīnglíng) is Arcanine, and these Arcanine's abilities are all Justified; a trainer who can be chosen by an Arcanine with a Justified ability can never be a bad person.
No cap, there are fewer bad people among the officers than there are quasi-god trainers in the League.
This is the officer's golden reputation.
"Okay, uncle," Lu Li nodded, then honestly followed the officer onto Arcanine's back.
To be fair, the experience of riding Arcanine isn't actually pleasant; at least Pidgeot's back is much more comfortable than Arcanine's back.
The two quickly arrived at the police station, and after arriving at the interrogation room, two female officers received the task and sat opposite Lu Li with their notebooks.
"Let's confirm first, that the deceased was killed by you, right?" one of the red-haired officers asked.
Lu Li nodded.
That middle-aged officer saw it, so Lu Li didn't deny the fact.
The short-haired officer joked, "You shattered the front half of his face with one punch; young man, your strength is good."
Lu Li just gave an awkward but polite smile.
This was the police station; killing someone here wasn't a glorious thing.
"We've already found out the deceased's identity; his name is Song Ji, which is his alias; his real name is Hirota Hihara."
"You found out so quickly?" Lu Li was a little surprised.
Through the Qingfeng City pyramid scheme incident, Lu Li had always maintained a skeptical attitude towards the police station's work efficiency, but today the police station seemed to have shown off a bit?
"This isn't any confidential document; Hirota Hihara is an electrical engineer from the Dahe region; he was dispatched to Qingyun City, and in order to integrate into the environment, he specially gave himself a name that fits the Kyushu region," the short-haired woman explained.
Lu Li nodded in understanding; so that's how it was.
"I was saying, how could the police station's work efficiency suddenly improve so quickly," Lu Li complained in his heart.
The red-haired officer continued, "The data doesn't show that he's a trainer; now it seems that he should be a spy from the Sapling Project; he targeted you because of your talent."
"So I don't have to bear criminal responsibility, right?" Lu Li quickly asked.
Self-defense killing and murder are two different things.
The short-haired officer said, "No, and there's even a reward."
Hearing this, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, the two women asked some questions about the case and pushed the record to Lu Li.
The short-haired woman said, "Take a look at this record; if there's no problem, sign it."
Lu Li nodded, then carefully checked it.
After confirming that there was no problem, he signed his name.
It wasn't that he was too cautious; some words weren't easy to sign; it's always good to be careful when you're out and about.
Seeing Lu Li sign his name, the long-haired officer curiously asked, "The captain said you have Elite-level strength? And your physical fitness is great?"
Lu Li nodded.
That officer already knew about this, so there was nothing to hide.
Seeing Lu Li nod in acknowledgment, the red-haired officer looked down at the information in her hand, then reminded, "By the way, something to remind you, 精灵 (Jīnglíng) that are bred in advance can't participate in the college entrance exam competition."
"Thank you!"
Lu Li nodded in thanks.
"Is your Tropius also Elite-level?" the short-haired officer next to her couldn't help but ask.
"This shouldn't be related to the case, right?" Lu Li didn't want to answer this question.
"It's indeed not related; I'm asking privately; mainly… do you know the Qu family?" the short-haired officer asked.
Lu Li: "The Qu family of Fairy-type Elite Four?"
The short-haired officer nodded happily, then said to the police station, "That's right, that Qu family."
Lu Li didn't respond, but looked at the other party with a probing gaze.
"My name is Qu Zhengyi," the short-haired officer introduced herself.
Qu Zhengyi…
Looking at the cute-eyed girl in front of him, the corners of Lu Li's mouth twitched slightly.
It was hard to imagine that the person with this name was a cute girl.
Feeling that she had been offended, Qu Zhengyi questioned, "What do you mean by that look? Can't we girls pursue justice?"
"No, I just think this name is a bit masculine," Lu Li denied.
Qu Zhengyi emphasized with a serious face, "These aren't the point; the point is that the Fairy-type Elite Four is my aunt."
Lu Li roughly guessed what the other party meant, then sat up straight.
"What does this officer mean…" Lu Li asked cautiously.
The way Lu Li called herself officer, Qu Zhengyi's face showed a satisfied smile.
Although she was just a clerk, and didn't even have an Arcanine, this didn't prevent her from wanting to become an officer.
"What did you call me just now?" Qu Zhengyi looked at Lu Li expectantly.
Lu Li tentatively said, "Officer?"
"Yup~", Qu Zhengyi responded sweetly, and the long-haired officer next to her looked at this scene helplessly.
Of course she knew her best friend's hobby; Lu Li's title hit the other party's heart.
Qu Zhengyi invited, "Are you interested in joining our Qu family? As long as you marry into the family, I guarantee you'll enjoy the same benefits as the Qu family's direct descendants."
"I'm not interested in joining any force," Lu Li refused Qu Zhengyi's invitation to marry into the family without even thinking about it.
The Qu family was indeed very strong, especially under the leadership of Qu Suxin, the Fairy-type Elite Four; the current Qu family was almost the strongest family in the southern Kyushu region.
But what did all this have to do with him?
Lu Li said that he could accept living off a woman, but he definitely couldn't accept marrying into the family.
Qu Zhengyi, who was rejected, wasn't discouraged, as if she had expected Lu Li's answer long ago.
"Okay," Qu Zhengyi nodded in an old-fashioned way, then continued, "Considering that you've been targeted by people from other leagues, you can now apply to the league for help."
Lu Li: "Such as?"
Qu Zhengyi said, "The personal protection of a Gym Leader-level trainer; this will continue until you go to college."
"Then what's the price?" Lu Li continued to ask.
Knowing that there was no free lunch in the world, Lu Li didn't think that the personal protection of a Gym Leader-level was without a price.
Qu Zhengyi: "There's no price; the only price might be that there'll be an extra bodyguard by your side?"
"Hmm?"
Lu Li looked at the other party with a surprised expression.
Lu Li realized that his view of the league seemed a bit narrow.
"Is this something that all leagues have?" Lu Li asked in disbelief.
Qu Zhengyi rolled her eyes at Lu Li, "What are you thinking? This is a benefit that only our Kyushu region has; not all Asia leagues have it."
