Chapter 298 Old Friends
The arcades here are ruthless and predatory.
Elf Coins lending with a 9-out-13-out system are everywhere.
The Union Currency is not recognized in the Siam region.
They only recognize the local "elf currency".
This thing is similar to the cryptocurrencies Ye Kai knew in his previous life; it is extremely secretive.
Merchants kept touting that as long as you have money, you can buy anything in this underground market.
Therefore, there are basically only two types of shops in the Siam area.
One type is the tavern that Ye Kai is currently in.
Another type is those who run pawnshops and lend money.
Once a player gets carried away, they accumulate a large amount of "elf coins".
Then you'll have it in this lifetime.
Armed forces control all exits from the region's borders.
They will investigate whether you owe money.
Once I find it for you.
Hehe, then you are no longer your own possession.
"Deal the cards quickly!"
Ye Kai glanced at the card table not far away. Was it a blackjack game?
That is, the so-called 21 points.
The person already has 18 points, why are they still dealing cards?
Aren't you afraid it will explode?
In fact, it depends on the person's perception.
This seemingly fair game is actually a way to rip people off.
Even though Ye Kai isn't a superhuman, he could still sense the trickery involved.
If a superpowered person wanted to cheat, that would be absolutely incredible.
The dealer was a young woman.
Seeing that the man insisted on having the cards, she dealt them to him.
"let me see……"
The man didn't even look at it, but lifted a corner of the card and flipped it over quickly.
"21 points!!"
"Ha ha!!"
Ye Kai frowned.
These games are definitely not to be touched.
He may seem like a rough and carefree man, but he's actually a wolf in sheep's clothing!
They cheated blatantly.
Cheating is one thing, but bystanders can't even see the loopholes!
"What bad luck!"
Those who had lost several rounds in a row left their seats.
The man who won the money grabbed the chips and strode away.
It really is a place where all sorts of people mingle.
There are all kinds of people.
Are there people trying to double-cross the local powers?
That's not all.
The air here is filled with the stimulating smell of drugs, and the lighting is also carefully designed.
It keeps you playing non-stop until you lose all your money!
Ye Kai finished his meal hastily and prepared to leave.
He had just stepped out of the tavern.
But as they walked out of the alley of the tavern, they happened to encounter a female croupier.
She ripped off the wig, revealing her true appearance.
Yang Xue?!
Ye Kai took a step forward to stop him.
How could she possibly be in a place like this?!
Or perhaps I misread it?
Regardless, Ye Kai's body involuntarily blocked her path.
The woman's eyes were bloodshot, and she vanished from the spot in an instant.
Teleportation?
"Who are you, and what do you want with me?"
She stood on the balcony not far away, looking down at Ye Kai.
"..."
Ye Kai did not speak.
Instead, he stared intently at the woman's face, scrutinizing it closely.
They are exactly the same; there's no way you could mistake them.
"I'll save the best food for last."
A seemingly random sentence stirred up her memories.
“…Akai?!”
"You still remember after watching it."
Ye Kai was about to climb over the wall.
"Don't come any closer! I'm not her!"
The woman covered her head and turned away in pain.
"What do you mean?"
"That personality was too weak, and I have already eliminated it."
"...Can superpowered individuals even do something like this?"
"If it can be done, then so be it."
She used teleportation again and vanished without a trace.
Ye Kai wanted to release his senses, but found that his senses were locked inside his body and could not be released.
I am no longer myself, and you are no longer yourself. Let's part ways here.
At least tell me what has happened over the years.
There are no language barriers in the spiritual world.
Yang Xue's voice kept echoing in his mind.
The staff rooms are on the fourth floor of the tavern, so I just grabbed room number 3...
On the left side of the computer desk, at the bottom of the first drawer, there's a hidden compartment where my diary is kept.
After you finish reading, please remember to burn it for me.
I'll live my peaceful life; you can pursue your path to becoming a champion.
After leaving those last words, there was no further response.
"..."
I never expected that meeting an old friend would end so abruptly.
Ye Kai stood there, finally relieved of a worry that had been weighing on his mind.
Let's do as she says and go back to the tavern.
He pretended to be looking for accommodation, passed by the fourth floor, and found the corresponding room.
Then, Gengar was released and it passed through the wall, pulling the notebook out from the inside.
Ye Kai took the items and left quickly.
The pages of this notebook are slightly yellowed, and there are at least two of them.
It seems to have been around for quite a few years, and it records a lot of things.
A facility that houses individuals with innate superpowers.
It's located in the basement of each dojo.
Furthermore, the alliance operates underground and has extremely developed cities.
However, those cities are places that only a very small number of high-ranking officials can use.
There are dedicated staff to serve them.
After being captured, the individuals with innate superpowers were all housed in an underground facility.
Their superpowers have been used in all sorts of ways.
But even the greatest power is still mortal, and there are times when one overuses their brain.
Most of the superpowered individuals.
Those who use superpowers beyond their limits will die suddenly.
But many others will become mindless zombies, devoid of personal will and soul, only capable of babbling incoherently.
That state was referred to by the Alliance as "the Lost Ones".
They will obey any orders given to the lost.
For example, making it bark like a dog, or rolling around on the ground...
They will do whatever someone gives them an order to do.
Ye Kai finally understood.
Why does he always do this after finishing a gym battle?
Those league staff members were either cold-eyed or utterly inhuman.
It turned out to be such a thing!
After the power of the "Yang Xue" personality was exhausted, she became a "lost person".
For four years, she worked in the underground facility, enduring endless darkness, distributing goods to the Alliance.
The so-called job is to inspect the Poké Balls.
A typical workday can last up to 14 hours.
But as a "lost person" who is like a "doll".
She felt no emotions.
Naturally, there will be no pain or resentment.
Until one day, she suddenly regained consciousness from her "lost" state.
She seized an opportunity and escaped!
That's impressive.
They actually managed to escape from the Alliance's heavily fortified underground facilities.
And without the help of spirits?!
Moreover, the book records an event in which someone was restored from being a lost soul to having superpowers.
So far, there has only been one case involving Yang Xue!
Of course, these are all her own speculations.
Ye Kai continued flipping through the diary.
So, the power of the spirits was indeed involved in the escape?
After regaining her abilities and willpower, she disguised herself as a "lost person" for several weeks in order to escape.
Finally, an opportunity was found.
The diary mentions that the league is conducting a study on Ibrahimovic.
Infuse it with concentrated Originium, allowing it to evolve freely.
The "Originium" described in this diary.
How come it looks so much like the Taijing raw stone that Ye Kai saw in Longmen Mountain? It must be the same thing.
Many Eevee were unable to withstand that power and either died or were maimed.
However, there are also individuals that evolve and remain fixed in a certain form, unable to degenerate.
Among them, Yang Xue encountered an Espeon.
Sun Eevee?!
Ye Kai suddenly remembered a few months ago.
During his pressure test, he encountered an Espeon that conveyed a message to him.
Could it be that one?!
Yangxue taught Eevee human language.
They worked together and eventually escaped the facility.
But Espeon was still captured and taken back.
"..."
The diary entries later revealed the mental state of the "Yang Xue" personality, who was only about 14-15 years old.
She escaped from the Alliance's underground facilities; she had neither education nor connections.
Her personal information cannot be found in the alliance, so she is essentially a living dead person.
If discovered, they will be taken back for further investigation.
The top brass of the League would probably be overjoyed if a "lost person" could be restored to a superhuman.
She simply ran away.
He then wandered around and developed a new sense of personality.
This is the person she is now, and she calls herself Kate.
Kate is quite mature and capable of handling various matters.
Kate is also the name of the Alpha Eevee.
She is better adapted to living in society.
Yang Xue's personality appeared less and less, and eventually faded away completely.
The diary also mentions "different connections".
That is, the Alliance of Superpowered Individuals.
Kate was able to settle down with the help of this organization.
She thoroughly enjoys her current peaceful life and doesn't want anyone to disturb her.
After all, for someone with her powerful superpowers, poker is a game she can only play if she intentionally wants to lose.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to lose.
Kate amassed a fortune in a short period of time.
Finally, feeling bored, he simply stopped playing cards.
Instead, she herself acted as the dealer.
But in reality, she is the true owner of dozens of taverns in the surrounding area; she just can't be bothered to care about so many things.
Shortly after joining “Yilian”, she was promoted to a senior cadre position.
If someone tries to destroy her hard-won peaceful life...
Then she would kill him without hesitation!
Haha, looks like they didn't kill me just now.
Is Kate already showing great kindness?
Ye Kai commanded the Flame Queen Lizard to set the two diaries on fire, burning them to ashes.
He is not the Ye Kai he once was.
Since my old friend is content with the current situation, then goodbye.
