"Great! Captain! Those people are still there!"
One of the team members looked at the figures in the distance and shouted happily. The captain also saw a few figures standing over there, first let out a sigh of relief, then made a guarded gesture of preparing for battle.
The team members were stunned at first, then also reacted.
When they looked at the figure over there, they had already put on a grave expression.
Yes, to be able to stand in the middle of an explosion like that...that's something to be wary of.
Regardless of whether they were friends or foes, there was no harm in being careful. So they moved forward cautiously.
Rope and the others nodded approvingly as they watched the soldiers from the same spot.
They certainly weren't offended by the fact that they were on the defensive.
In fact, if they could remain vigilant even after seeing their faces, then they would appreciate them even more. Because only such people can truly protect themselves.
In front of many dangers. It's important to protect those in danger. But in the face of some people. Those who serve others should learn to protect themselves...
Every life has its own value. That's why every life is worth living.
Rope had heard the story of the young firefighter who died trying to save a jumping mom in the original world...
It was his duty to save her, but it was still a sad story.
I wish everyone would value their lives. At least don't choose to implicate others if you think your life is worthless.
"Captain... that figure over there looks familiar."
The group moved forward cautiously. But soon a member with better eyesight realized the problem.
"It seems a bit, I have the same feeling."
The group took two more steps forward, and the captain's mouth twitched harshly.
"Is this...Professor Rope????"
The current Rope is no longer the little transparent person that no one knew when he was traveling. Anyone with a little knowledge of current events would recognize Rope.
To the casual observer, the professor had risen to prominence a few months ago, and in the intervening months, he'd been involved in almost every major event.
But for those who knew more about Rope, they marveled at the speed and direction of his rise.
I thought he was the future of science. But they didn't realize that this man had become one of the biggest names in the scientific community, if not the biggest.
I thought he was just a big shot in the research world, but within a few days, he appeared in the public eye as the winner of the Quartz Tournament.
He was expected to be the future star of the trainer world. But in the blink of an eye, he's now fighting alongside many Elite Four champions.
Almost every couple of days, they'd see something about Rope again. And, every time, it's shocking.
So now Rope's popularity within the League has become a household name.
A lot of people were looking forward to what Rope would do next.
The staff, naturally, were more familiar with it. Nowadays, all difficult matters and matters related to the gods are reported to the Asama Institute. The more they learned about the Asama Institute, the more mysterious and unpredictable it became.
Although they had never met the owner of the institute, Rope, they had heard the story of Rope from countless people.
Countless legends have centered around Rope. It's an amazing man. And a man who is best left alone.
The birth of every legend means the death of countless lives, both good and bad.
That was the captain's attitude towards Rope. But he never thought that today, he would meet Rope after all.
So he swung his fist upwards, and the team behind him stopped dead in their tracks. They looked at their captain with confusion. They didn't have any admiration for Rope, but they were interested in meeting a man who could be described as a legend in the League, and they wanted to know who he was.
So they didn't know why the captain wanted them to stop at this time.
The captain, who was at the front of the line, was looking at a few people he could recognize.
Professor Oak, Professor Rope, Blue Master, Red Champion...
If it weren't for his duty, the captain would never take a step closer to the other side. There are too many big shots. So many that the best way to protect himself is to stay away.
On his own, he took a deep breath and stepped forward.
"They look like they don't like us."
Blue said helplessly.
"We're just 'trouble'."
Red said succinctly, but without missing a beat...
They were almost synonymous with trouble. It's as if as long as they stayed at home, there wouldn't be much going on.
That's why superheroes aren't everyone's cup of tea. You can't expect people to be grateful when their mom dies in the aftermath of your fight with some bad guy.
If everyone could do that, there'd be no such thing as a bad guy.
But that's not true.
After all, if no one exposes these things in a violent way or stops the bad guys, then the bad things won't be known. But it will always be there.
It's the whitewash that's really sad. If the rotting flesh is kept out of sight, then the world, the society, can never really progress.
Instead, it will rot and rot until it's rotten, and then it will build a new civilization on the ruins. Until the next civilization is rotten and feeds on the next.
You say that's how mankind develops...no problem.
You say it's the sadness of mankind...no problem.
Rope took a few steps forward to meet the captain.
When they reached a certain distance, the captain gave Rope a military salute, and Rope returned the salute in kind.
Rope returned the salute in kind. He had never been in the military in either world. But he did have respect for the military.
"Professor Rope! Hello, we are members of the search team, and we came here immediately after receiving the unusual sandstorm phenomenon. Now we need to talk to you about some information."
The captain's posture when he said this could also be described as unassuming.
Rope nodded. There was no pretense of gravity, or frivolity. He just told the whole story in a normal way.
Watching these two people ask and answer questions, Blue couldn't help but skim his lips.
Honestly, Rope's posture now can be said to have been put a little low.
The current Rope, no matter who she is dealing with, she doesn't need to put on such a posture at all.
To be able to use such a posture to talk to the other party, it can only be said that Rope does have the most basic respect for the other party.
"You said I've done a lot of good things, great things. Why can't Rope treat me with some respect?"
Blue muttered.
But Daisy had a good ear and heard her brother's words.
"What you're doing is great, but you're no different than they are. You're saving lives because you have a lot of power. They have limited power, but they're doing what they can to help others."
"If you have ten million dollars, do a hundred thousand. If you have a thousand dollars, do a ten-dollar favor. There's no such thing as high or low. It's only those who say they're good at something, but do very little, but do nothing themselves, who are despicable."
As soon as Daisy opened her mouth, Blue knew that she was going to lecture herself again, but there was nothing she could do about it. Her own sister, if she dared to talk back, she would single-handedly lift you out of the sky.
But Blue also thinks Daisy is not wrong. That's the way of the world.
A little heat goes a long way. Every bit of light has its own meaning. Every good deed has its own purpose.
Don't let a little good go unrewarded.
"Okay, Professor Rope! Thank you for your cooperation!"
After the captain had finished his question, he breathed a sigh of relief, and a small smile of relief finally appeared on his face. And Rope extended his hand.
"You guys also worked hard."
Rope said earnestly as he held the other's hand tightly.
"Thank you for your understanding. You're by far the most polite person I've ever met."
Some people like to treat others like their own dogs. It's a wonder that some of them are willing to be their dogs, but those who don't like to be their dogs are being bossed around. We're all born and raised together, so why should we volunteer to be your dog.
Rope was one of the few people he'd met who put them on an equal footing.
And Rope was by far the biggest person he'd ever met.
"Well, we've got some things to do here, so I won't talk to you. If there's anything else that's troubling you, you can ask Wallace or the person in charge to contact me directly."
Rope let go of his hand and spoke seriously.
"Okay! Professor Rope. Have a safe trip!"
The captain once again gave a military salute towards Rope and the others.Rope returned it once again.
Rope turns around and walks towards his original position.
"Hoopa. let's go, it's time for dinner."
"Okay!"
So Golden Circle opened the door, and Rope left with Professor Oak behind them.
After them, the captain and the entire observation team watched them leave.
When the captain returned to his own team, one of the youths spoke up with some complaint: "Captain, why don't you let us go up? What if you go up alone and there is really some danger?"
The captain of course knew that this was not what he was talking about.
"You'd better stay away from these big shots.Professor Rope's temper is fine. If the bad-tempered ones give you a name, your future will be gray."
The captain looked at the young men seriously.
"Don't always think you're going to make it to the top. Not many of those who make it to the top are looking for the same kind of big shot. Furthermore... the ones who made it to the top, how many of them ended up in a good situation, you can also inquire about it yourselves."
After that, the captain stopped talking. There are some things, always need them to personally experience, to truly understand the cruelty of the world. So he took the lead on the fire-breathing camel, and then said to the squad's liaison officer: "Now, hurry up and contact the helicopter, or else you'll have to eat a midnight snack when you go back."
"Yes! Captain!"
The setting sun finally disappeared into the extreme west of the sky. Only the warmth of the afterglow lingered in the world, not wanting to leave for a long time. The stars and the moon were eager to come out and cast a cool silver glow.
The original golden yellow sand had become white. It was like...ashes...
Rope and the others are already eating in the cafeteria. Rope has consumed a lot of energy today. Although he can absorb the free fire element to replenish his energy. But... the fire element has no flavor!
So what's the point of eating too much when you can rely on food to replenish your energy and not run out of food.
Food and color are also sex.
While they were eating happily, Hoopa suddenly leapt out from a corner and picked up a plate of food and poured it into his mouth.
"Eat slowly, no one is competing with you."
Whitley looked at Hoopa's way of eating and couldn't help but be disgusted.
Hoopa didn't even care, just waved his hand towards Whitley, showing a look of... "you don't understand".
Even though he was wearing that look. But this guy's mouth didn't stop. He was still eating like crazy.
"What were you doing?"
Rope asked in a strange way. When they returned to the institute and started to prepare dinner, Hoopa suddenly said that he had to take care of something, so just leave the dinner for him, don't wait for him.
Rope and the others saw that he was in a hurry, so they didn't ask too many questions and just nodded. And already in the pot left a good for Hoopa's share of the dinner.
They didn't expect Hoopa to come back too late. After all, they hadn't finished eating either.
Of course, it's fine for Hoopa to eat at the table. Although it was said that they had left food for him. But there wasn't enough food on the table.
After all, Rope or Red might have a sudden appetite sometimes.
Hoopa tried to answer Rope's question, but suddenly started pounding on his chest. Whitley rolled his eyes and handed him a glass of water.
Hoopa took the water and poured it down with tons of gusto.
Then he said to Rope, "I found Celebi!"
Rope froze for a moment, then got a surprised look on his face. To be honest, he hadn't had much hope of finding Celebi in the first place. He was going to look for the Twin Dragons of Time and Space in a couple days to make this trip. He didn't know when he was supposed to cross over.
But he felt that he couldn't wait any longer.
After all, the matter was still considered urgent so he couldn't afford to delay it any longer.
I didn't expect Hoopa to bring good news today.
"How's it going?"
Rope asked.
"Not good... the guy's pretty banged up. It looks like someone's still looking for her. I've only been able to find a trace. There's a space-time blockade, I can break through, but it's going to make a lot of noise."
"They'll be able to catch up with me if I make a lot of noise. I'm afraid I can't beat them, so I came back to look for you first, and you're definitely the safest place to find them."
Rope recognized this, so he wiped his mouth, got up and said to Hoopa, "Then let's get going! Let's get going!"
Just as he was about to leave, he felt a pinch on his cuff.
Rope looked down and met Daisy's worried eyes.
Rope gave a confident smile.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Rope patted Daisy's hand and left.
Hoopa once again picks up a plate of food from the table, then pours it right into his mouth.
Rope nods goodbye to the crowd.
Hoopa also flew to his side and opened a space door.
"Don't worry, I'll just hold them off. I'll come back as soon as I've rescued Celebi."
Rope smiled and reassured everyone, then turned around and walked into the space door. On the other side of the door, there was a forest with the sound of insects.
