Let us follow this fellow who intends to cause some nonsensical trouble for Xia Hu Naao and see what he plans to do.
Making a move at the airport against Xia Hu Naao was clearly an unwise choice, as Xia Hu Naao himself possessed considerable combat strength, making it difficult to end the fight instantly and escape. Since escaping was not an option, he would find another opportunity.
Seeing Xia Hu Naao leave the airport, this individual adjusted his face mask and followed, keeping a distance behind Xia Hu Naao and his companions, maintaining a neutral stance with those who had been eyeing Xia Hu Naao since he disembarked. Those individuals, though they noticed the man in black, were unsure of his intentions or if he was an associate. If he were an enemy, then an engagement would be in order, but if he were a colleague, a misunderstanding could prove troublesome.
Upon seeing Xia Hu Naao enter a hotel named Duo Duo Bing Grand Hotel, the man in black turned and left.
Having already ascertained Xia Hu Naao's specific location, there was no need to press further. Getting too close could alert Xia Hu Naao, making him wary and thus more troublesome to deal with.
Glancing around, the man in black chose a hotel of similar caliber to Duo Duo Bing Grand Hotel and checked in. From a distance, he used binoculars to observe Duo Duo Bing Grand Hotel, hoping to locate the room Xia Hu Naao was staying in.
After searching for over ten minutes, he finally spotted Xia Hu Naao's figure by a window on the sixth floor of Duo Duo Bing Grand Hotel. Xia Hu Naao only glanced outside from the window before drawing the curtains.
Having roughly confirmed Xia Hu Naao's location, the man in black lay down on the bed, set an alarm, and began to rest and recuperate.
Time ticked by, and as the lights of Fen Xue began to twinkle, the town soon settled into quietude. In this frontier town of Fen Xue, apart from a few bars still open for business, there were hardly any people left on the streets.
On a hotel bed, a figure's eyes opened. He glanced at the alarm clock beside him, then got out of bed to change his clothes.
At three o'clock in the morning, Fen Xue time, a figure stood at the entrance of Duo Duo Bing Grand Hotel. As a hotel operating twenty-four hours a day, the entrance of Duo Duo Bing Grand Hotel was always brightly lit.
A figure wearing a baseball cap looked up, then stepped into Duo Duo Bing Grand Hotel. Reaching the front desk, he lowered his voice and asked in broken Millunese, "Excuse me, which room is Mr. Xia Hu Naao staying in?"
Miss Qun Er and the young lady at the front desk, while finding him somewhat peculiar, replied, "He is staying in room 603 on the sixth floor. Would you like me to contact him for you?"
The figure shook his head. "No, thank you. I'll go up and find him myself."
As the figure departed, right after he went upstairs, a Drowzee holding a golden pocket watch passed by the front desk and also headed upstairs.
Three o'clock, this was the time when night owls who stayed up late were most drowsy. Even those who had already fallen asleep should be in the golden hour of deep slumber. This figure arrived on the sixth floor, searching for room 603.
Outside room 603, the figure glanced around before taking out a room key card. With a casual swipe, he opened the door. The figure tiptoed into the room, not turning on the lights but fumbling his way in the dark. He felt his way to Xia Hu Naao's bed. Though he couldn't see clearly, he could vaguely make out a lumpy shape on the bed, indicating someone was there.
"Go, Ekans, use Poison Sting."
An Ekans emerged from its Poké Ball and began to spew poison sting towards the shadow on the bed. A loud bang echoed through the room. The figure, startled by the explosion, didn't bother to investigate and turned to flee. He immediately ran into a neighbor who had been woken by the explosion, and upon seeing him, began to shout.
Angrily glancing at the tenant, the man in black quickly fled the scene. The Fen Xue police, it must be said, were quite efficient. Not long after the man in black left, they arrived. Seeing that the room was tidy, with only a blown-up inflatable doll on the bed, they began to contact the owner of the room, our classmate Xia Hu Naao.
Meanwhile, Xia Hu Naao was walking the streets of Fen Xue with his Fen Xue friend. Although it was past the time for nightlife, this did not stop the two of them from strolling around the town.
Xia Hu Naao was still wearing that blue down jacket, with a warm wool scarf, walking beside the girl.
As for why Xia Hu Naao was here, it was because his biological clock had woken him up in the middle of the night. He had simply glanced at his watch and put on his clothes before leaving. At that time, according to Fen Xue time, it was half past midnight, still before dawn.
The girl accompanying him was the same one Xia Hu Naao had chatted happily with on the plane. The Duo Duo Bing Grand Hotel where Xia Hu Naao was staying was also an establishment owned by this girl's family. As Xia Hu Naao was leaving, this young lady happened to be bored at the front desk. Seeing Xia Hu Naao depart, she followed him out, offering to be his guide.
Xia Hu Naao occasionally snuck glances at the girl beside him. He had to admit, the girls in Fen Xue were quite bold. If it were Shen Yu, she would absolutely not dare to go out with a stranger this late at night.
Xia Hu Naao exhaled a puff of white mist. "The weather in Fen Xue is colder than I thought."
"Yes, we're very far north, and it's winter, so it's naturally very cold. But you insist on coming out this late at night, surely it's not just to freeze, is it?"
Xia Hu Naao rubbed his hands together. "No, I came to see the aurora, preferably the aurora appearing during the magical transition between black and white at dawn. That should be a particularly beautiful sight."
As they were talking, they saw a man in black run over from the side, rushing towards Xia Hu Naao in a panic. Xia Hu Naao was slightly startled by the sudden appearance of a person and dodged to the side. The man in black seemed to have spotted Xia Hu Naao, and after rushing past, he forcibly stopped, turned around, and launched a second attack towards Xia Hu Naao.
Xia Hu Naao did not hesitate. He pulled out a Poké Ball from his waist, but the girl beside him was quicker. A Beartic appeared between the three of them and immediately subdued the charging man in black. The man in black struggled for a moment but could not break free, so Xia Hu Naao handed him over to the local police.
At the police station, they were greeted by a police officer with pink hair. Looking at her face, Xia Hu Naao thought, As expected of the young ladies in Fen Xue. In Ming Long Country, her hair would definitely be black, or even if she wore a wig, it would be black.
While he was thinking, the police officer said, "Good day to you two. I am Jun Sha. May I ask what brings you here?"
Jun Sha, Miss Jun Sha. Have I finally encountered one of the two largest families in Ling Yao Star, theoretically speaking?
Xia Hu Naao only thought this to himself, as while it was written in Millunese letters, the translation was a translation.
A Beartic walked in from outside and threw a man, who had been thoroughly bound by Xia Hu Naao, onto the ground. "Miss Jun Sha, could you please contact our Ming Long Country's embassy here? After all, this person is an important wanted criminal in our Ming Long Country, wouldn't you agree, You Mou?"
You Mou turned his head away, unwilling to engage with Xia Hu Naao. Miss Jun Sha, after getting instructions from her superior, directly contacted the Ming Long Country's embassy. Xia Hu Naao and his friend waited at the police station for over ten hours, only leaving in the afternoon.
As for You Mou, he was directly extradited by the Ming Long Country's embassy. Walking back to the hotel, Xia Hu Naao walked with his hands behind his back, his mind constantly replaying the inside information told to him by the envoy from Ming Long Country. You Mou had previously been taken away by people from Li Xing Country, and this time his arrival in Fen Xue was also orchestrated by people from Li Xing Country.
No one was surprised by this outcome. Although the people from Ming Long Country had been advising classmate Xia Hu Naao to return home or go directly to the mining islands, Xia Hu Naao, after careful consideration, ultimately decided to stay in Fen Xue.
While it was true that one could see the aurora in the northernmost part of Ming Long Country, Fen Xue, as Ling Yao Star's most famous aurora tourist destination, was more suitable.
Seeing that Xia Hu Naao seemed a bit lost in thought, the girl beside him asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Xia Hu Naao snapped back to attention and shook his head. He had been contemplating You Mou's entanglement with Li Xing Country and his own course of action. However, Xia Hu Naao had no intention of involving others in these matters, so he concocted an excuse. "I'm upset about my doll. It was made by my girlfriend and looks exactly like her. I can't sleep at night without something to hug."
Xia Hu Naao spoke simply, but the girl had heard the police mention the loss. She knew that the doll Xia Hu Naao referred to was a doll that looked exactly like Shen Yu. She also knew that given Xia Hu Naao's character, this doll had no practical use. Nevertheless, she wanted to tease Xia Hu Naao and pointed to a building not far away. "Look over there."
Xia Hu Naao looked into the distance and asked, "What's over there?"
The girl leaned closer and said, "Over there, that's where we have Fen Xue's most famous nightlife. Would you like me to take you to experience it tonight, and perhaps help you alleviate your distress over your 'girlfriend' being destroyed?"
Before Xia Hu Naao could respond, the girl had already walked away. As she left, she called back to Xia Hu Naao, "So, it's settled. I'll pick you up tonight."
