Pokémon: From Magikarp

Chapter 823 Seed of Darkness

"What do you mean, little friend Lin? Is there something else behind my strange illness?"

Old Master Meng was shocked. He had suspected that he was murdered, but he could not find any clues, so he gave up the idea.

"Don't be anxious. Can you tell me when your illness started?" Lin Shi pressed his hand to calm the old man down and then continued to ask.

After hearing Lin Shi's words, Mr. Meng frowned and lowered his head in thought.

"It's been about half a month now. I may have had some symptoms before that, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. It wasn't until I felt increasingly weak that I started to pay attention to it."

"During that time, did you come into contact with or visit any strange people or places? Or did you get any strange things?"

Lin Shi seemed to be thinking for a moment and continued asking questions. Mr. Meng was also very cooperative. He didn't want to repeat the same mistake.

"No, I was in Baishan City during that time to handle some matters. The people I came into contact with were all my relatives or company employees, all acquaintances. As for the strange things..."

Mr. Meng paused when he thought of this. For someone of his status, he received quite a few gifts every day, and he didn't know which ones could be considered "strange".

"Eye."

At this moment, Hua Yeti, who had been sitting obediently on Lin Shi's shoulder, suddenly let out a soft cry, then raised her flower umbrella, pointed into the house, and nodded at Lin Shi.

If you look carefully, you will find that the direction that Hua Ye Di is pointing to is exactly the same as the direction Lin Shi was looking at just now!

Sure enough, the feeling just now was not an illusion!

Lin Shi's heart shuddered. Just when he entered the house, he felt a faint aura that made him feel a little uneasy, and it seemed that his flower petals were even more sensitive to it.

Hua Yeti's actions naturally did not escape the notice of Meng Ge, Meng Wan and Old Man Meng. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Shi stood up and walked into the house, finally stopping in front of a cabinet full of collectibles.

"Mr. Meng, can you let me see these things?"

Lin Shi turned to look at Meng Xingyun, seeking his opinion.

"Go ahead." Mr. Meng said without any hesitation.

After getting permission, Lin Shi scanned the shelves one by one, and finally stared at a drawer.

"Break!"

When he opened the drawer, he found only an opened gift box with beautiful packaging. The box was not sealed tightly, so Lin Shi could easily see the items inside.

It was a black fragment of irregular shape. The moment he held it in his hand, an evil and ominous force burst out. In that instant, Lin Shi seemed to see decay and death.

But at this moment, the golden pattern on Lin Shi's wrist emitted a golden light that only he could see, just like snow meeting sunlight. The power of death was suppressed almost instantly, and he was dying.

Dark Seed Fragment: A seed fragment condensed from dark energy, it possesses the power of death and absorbs the life force of those who come close. Prolonged contact will cause them to age. (The power of death will gradually dissipate, and when the energy is completely dissipated, it will become a normal fragment.)

"The power of death?"

Looking at the information appearing in front of him, Lin Shi muttered silently. This name made him think of the god of death, Yveltal!

Now that I think about it, the energy emitted by this fragment is indeed very similar to the energy emitted by Yveltal that I saw in the secret illusion.

"Thank you for your hard work, Huayedi."

Without thinking too much, Lin Shi continued to command. Since they dared to take it, he naturally had a way to restrain it. As the flower of life, the eternal flower was the biggest nemesis of the power of death.

"Yi!"

The petal chirped crisply, and a white flower slowly blossomed in front of it, then wrapped up the fragments. The death force that was still stirring was immediately suppressed, and no energy escaped at all.

"Very good." Lin Shi praised, then returned to Mr. Meng and the two sisters with the flowers and the packaging box.

"This thing must be the cause of this. Old man, do you still remember where it came from?"

Handing the box over, Lin Shi inquired. He was eager to know the origins of this item. After all, it was suspected to be related to Yveltal, and Yveltal was related to the evil stone tablet...

The moment he saw the box, a look of astonishment appeared on the old man's face, and then turned pale and angry.

"Bastard!"

……

"You've been in there for so long? Why haven't you come out yet?"

At this time, everyone in the living room outside the door had no idea what was happening inside the house. Meng Delu looked at the luxurious watch on his wrist and said irritably.

"Dele!"

Hearing his son's words, Meng Yongqiang scolded him with a stern face, but he was actually a little anxious in his heart. He was indeed a filial son, but being a filial son did not mean that he could not fight for it. As the head of the Meng family enterprise, he was confident that he could do better than his elder brother.

And now, her father's attitude towards Meng Ge actually reveals a not-so-good signal. He doesn't want his niece to become the heir of the Meng family so early!

"understood."

Meng Delu is still very afraid of his father.

"Brother Le, don't worry too much. You know the old man's character. He must be trying to intimidate that kid. Although he is a champion, he comes from an ordinary family after all. It won't be easy for him to marry Miss Meng Ge."

Seeing what Meng Delu was thinking, a young man immediately stepped forward and said to the lackey.

Meng Delu glanced at the young man and had some impression of him, but he was just a distant relative and he didn't even know his name.

But what the other party said was not without reason. According to the old man's personality and his love for Meng Ge, the man named Lin Shi must be scared now. This marriage is definitely not that easy!

Thinking of this, Meng Dele felt much more comfortable.

He had already made up his mind that after the other party finished speaking, he would contact Lin Shi to see if this guy was a good person. If he could help, his plan to replace Meng Ge would be much smoother.

"What's your impression of that guy?"

On the other side, Wang Yaru was also talking with Meng Yongchang. After all, it was a major event in their daughter's life, so as parents, they were naturally more concerned.

"Humph, he looks so fair and clean, he doesn't look like a stable master."

Meng Yongchang snorted coldly and said.

"Oh, it seems you have a lot of problems with Lin Shi. Why are you reluctant to part with your daughter? I think this guy is good. He is talented and handsome. He is a perfect son-in-law."

Wang Yaru now had the feeling of a mother-in-law liking her son-in-law more and more, and praised Lin Shi, but it only made Meng Yongchang snort again.

"Snapped."

Just as everyone was thinking about their own things, a faint sound of a door opening was heard, and almost everyone looked towards the door at the same time.

Then everyone saw that the old man who was lying on the bed dying and withered half an hour ago walked out of the door with a gloomy face.

"Meng Dele, come here!"
