Pokémon: From Magikarp

Su Yu's words were like a thunderclap, plunging the entire laboratory into silence, and everyone began to doubt their own ears.

"stupid?"

"Su... Teacher Su, what did you say?" Senior Brother Liu looked at Su Yu in disbelief.

He knew Su Yu's character very well. With his serious and old-fashioned academic spirit, it was impossible for him to do anything to distort the meaning of ancient Chinese.

"You used the effect of glyph evolution to decipher it into the word 'tun', which is good, but did you find that its meaning is also strange when used in context?"

"And did you realize that this pattern of words is also used many times in the word 'spring'?"

As he spoke, Su Yu took out a photo, which also had a strange character on it. It was the deciphered word "Spring", and the pattern of this word could be clearly seen on it.

"That is to say, the word 'Spring' is composed of this undeciphered word and other parts, and the difference in meaning between 'Spring' and 'Tun' is too great."

"For this purpose, I contacted many experts for discussion, and finally, after research with the expert group of Central University, we found a possibility."

"This character may have evolved into these two characters after some changes, with the pronunciation of "Chun" and the shape of "Tun". In other words, this character should actually be pronounced "Chun".

"And according to the context, this word can indeed be translated as 'stupid', which means ready to make a move. It is used to describe the turbulent or chaotic elves that will pose a threat to humans."

"How about this? Is this evidence reasonable?"

Su Yu is worthy of being a professor. He explained the deciphering process of this word in a concise and clear manner.

Su Qimeng listened and nodded. This is a commonly used method to decipher ancient human characters.

But the end result is the same. It has the same effect in deciphering the ancient characters of the Pokémon world. Although their pronunciations may be different, the mechanisms involved are the same.

Thinking of this, she looked at Lin Shi with a complicated look.

Did he just guess right by chance?

"But...but..."

Senior Brother Liu's face turned even paler, with sweat already on his forehead, and he wanted to argue a few more words.

"This word has been discussed with experts from Central University and confirmed to be "stupid". There is no need to say more."

Su Yu interrupted him calmly. Senior Brother Liu looked unhappy and nodded in the end, saying nothing more.

"Is this true? Could it be that this Lin Shi is really an archaeological expert?"

"Teacher Su, don't you understand? When has he ever made a joke about academic matters?"

"Brother Liu won't really quit the team, right?"

"Okay." Su Yu interrupted the whispers in the laboratory.

Then he looked at Lin Shi deeply again and said:

"Since everyone is here, let's go to the conference room and arrange for us to enter the secret archaeological ruins the day after tomorrow."

Su Yu said, and walked towards the meeting room first, and the others followed him.

Su Qimeng and Lin Shi walked side by side in silence, but Su Qimeng couldn't help but poked his shoulder.

"Hey, how on earth did you recognize that word?"

Lin Shi spread his hands, revealing an unfathomable expression.

"Would you believe me if I said I was just guessing?"

"Tsk..."

Looking at Lin Shi's expression, she originally believed it, but now she doesn't believe it anymore...

……

"Okay, the arrangements for this trip are as follows. Everyone, do your job well."

During the nearly two-hour meeting, Su Yu issued various instructions in an orderly manner to ensure that his other research progress would not be slowed down during his archaeological work in the secret realm.

"By the way, there is one more thing I haven't mentioned. The environment of the Qinhuang Secret Realm is harsh and the level of wild elves is not low. In order to ensure the safety of researchers, the institute will cooperate with the Qinhuang City Security Bureau, and the Security Bureau will provide security." Su Yu added at the end of the meeting.

"Security Bureau?"

Lin Shi suddenly thought of the two captains he met last night. They were two very interesting people. He wondered if he would run into them again...

"Lin...Junior Brother Lin."

After the meeting, Brother Liu took the initiative to approach Lin Shi, feeling somewhat conflicted, and kept clutching his notes in his hands.

"Isn't this Brother Liu who considers archaeology as his profession? I wonder what insights he has?"

Lin Shi said teasingly.

"Yes...I'm sorry."

"I shouldn't look down on others. I...I want to take back the bet. This opportunity is very important to me. I...I can't give up."

Senior Brother Liu lowered his head and spoke while biting his lips tightly.

Looking at him like this, Lin Shi shook his head helplessly.

How come he's like a villain?

Lin Shi walked up and patted him on the shoulder.

"I never wanted to deprive anyone of their rights. I just wanted to protect myself. Whether you want to go or not, I don't care." After saying that, she quickened her pace and walked past him.

Looking at Lin Shi's back, Senior Brother Liu's mouth twitched, as if he was relieved, but in the end he didn't say anything.

……

At night, Lin Shi and Su Qimeng returned to where they lived.

"Lin Shi, someone seems to be looking for you."

Su Qimeng called Lin Shi and asked him to go out and take a look.

When I opened the door, a tall man was standing outside.

"Captain Qin?"

The man was Qin Yunfei, who had met Lin Shi once before. When he saw Lin Shi, Qin Yunfei smiled.

"We meet again, classmate Lin Shi. I'm here to give you a banner."

As he spoke, his hand shook, and a red silk banner suddenly opened in front of Lin Shi.

【Act bravely to do what is right】

Lin Shi: ...

Tsk, is this the default banner slogan of the Security Bureau?

"Thank you for your help, Captain Qin." Lin Shi took the banner.

"But does this kind of thing require the captain to come in person?" Lin Shi instantly had a new regard for this city. It really is a place that values ​​cooperation between the police and the public.

"Haha..." Qin Yunfei laughed a few times.

"How could that be? I just brought it to you on the way."

"By the way, I heard that the archaeological excavation of the secret ruins will be carried out soon. Are you also a member of the archaeological team?"

Lin Shi raised his eyebrows. Most people wouldn't know about this kind of thing.

Looking at Lin Shi's expression, Qin Yunfei knew what he was thinking, and he immediately stretched out his hand.

"Don't get me wrong, I am the captain of your archaeological escort team this time. I will follow you throughout the entire process to protect the safety of the archaeological team."

"I came to the institute to discuss related matters with Professor Su, but I didn't expect that Lin Shi is also a member of the archaeological team. It's really a fate. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Qin Yunfei is the captain of the third team of the Qinhuang City Security Bureau. His own strength is absolutely beyond doubt and he is indeed qualified to lead the guard team.

Lin Shi also smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Qin Yunfei.

"It's a pleasure to work with you, Captain Qin."

Time passed quickly, and a day went by in the blink of an eye. All the staff in the institute were preparing for the archaeological trip. Early the next morning, all members of the archaeological team gathered and officially set off for the secret territory.

Because the environment is complex and harsh, this time the archaeological team took the elite route. In total, there are only sixteen people including the guard team. But this is not all the people. In the Qin Emperor's Secret Realm, there is a research base that has been built, where there are more researchers.

Facing the towering gate of the space passage in front of him, this was Lin Shi’s second time to go to the secret realm.

"Professor Su, all the staff are here." Qin Yunfei, dressed in combat uniform, looked professional and reliable.

"Okay." Su Yu nodded.

"Everyone, let's go!"
