Chapter 669 You really are a heartless and ruthless guy.
Natsume's expression was incredibly strange.
It seems that the three gods in the lake are not united at all.
The three lake gods before us, with their vastly different behavioral logics, seem to be working for some being.
Of course, their attitude towards doing things is unreliable no matter how you look at it.
Natsume and Takeran exchanged a glance, feeling both amused and exasperated.
However, Natsume did not forget the most important purpose of his trip.
Unbeknownst to him, Team Rainbow Rocket was some kind of surveillance beneath his mental realm!
He pondered for a moment, then slowly took out a simple, antique-looking seal—a seal of peace and tranquility—from his pocket.
"This thing," Natsume held the seal in his palm and showed it to the three gods of the lake.
"Do you... all know each other?"
The three gods, who had been shifting blame and looking around nervously, froze the moment they saw the seal.
"!!!"
Even Arknom, which had just been acting like it didn't care whether you killed it or not, suddenly widened its blue eyes and its body tensed up involuntarily.
Yuxie stopped smacking her lips as she savored the lake water, and Amritod instinctively shrank back.
The three mushroom-headed boys exchanged glances, their expressions filled with tension, apprehension, and even a hint of...guilt?
They first shook their heads vigorously, then seemed to remember something, hesitated and nodded, and finally, as if they had reached a consensus, they all nodded solemnly to Natsume.
Natsume keenly noticed the abnormality in their emotions.
This reaction is nothing like the vigilance one would expect when facing an enemy or an unfamiliar force.
It's more like a child who has done something wrong suddenly finding a token to "tell on" their parents, a mix of fear, awe, and a desire to cover it up.
"Are you three really afraid of it?" Natsume asked tentatively, shaking the seal in his hand.
"Or rather, what did the three of you do that made you so afraid of it?"
The three gods immediately shook their heads like rattles, but the flicker in their eyes betrayed them.
Natsume's mind was filled with doubts.
There is no secret connection between the Peace Dog and the gods of the lake.
But now, the Lake Trio seems to be in a state of "being in the wrong" or "being constrained" when it comes to the Peace Dog.
The only explanation is that these three have done, or are preparing to do, something that would endanger peace.
At least it is something that peace-loving people define as a threat to peace.
Natsume decided to deal with his own problems first, and while the iron was hot, he revealed his main purpose for coming: "Actually, besides investigating the ruins, I have another favor to ask of you."
"I've been feeling a bit off in my mental state lately."
"For example, it seems that it has been tracked by some malicious forces, or..."
He paused, recalling Mewtwo's comment that still bothered him.
"6
"There might be something wrong with my mental structure. You are experts in the field of mental health; could you help me diagnose it?"
Upon hearing Natsume's request, and especially seeing the "supervision" implication emanating from the Peace Dog seal in his hand, the three gods of the lake visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that they are more afraid that Natsume will use the seal to investigate something else than to fulfill Natsume's request.
"No problem!" Emrido was the first to speak, patting his chest to assure him.
"Leave it to us! Exploring the spiritual realm is our forte!"
Yukshi nodded repeatedly: "The light of wisdom will illuminate every corner of your consciousness!"
Arknom yawned: "The fortitude of will is enough to withstand any truth, perhaps."
Clearly, they wanted to get rid of this troublesome figure who wielded the "imperial sword" as soon as possible.
After reaching an agreement, Natsume relaxed and opened his mental barrier to the three gods.
The three gods in the lake floated around him, emitting yellow, pink, and blue light respectively, like three sophisticated scanners, beginning to probe deep into Natsume's consciousness.
Before Yukishi, yellow light, like countless tiny tendrils of knowledge, traversed Natsume's memory bank and logical thinking area.
Exclamation marks would occasionally pop up on its little mushroom head: "Wow! How can you have so much knowledge in your head! Are you even human?"
"Even Pokémon professors don't have this kind of knowledge... Why are so many of them deeply hidden?"
"My God, so many complex mechanical blueprints! And cross-species energy fusion... Waaah—forbidden knowledge!"
Yu Kexi abruptly snapped the small yellow orb in his hand, and the scene inside abruptly stopped, which left Zhu Lan with a slight sense of regret.
I haven't seen what this so-called taboo knowledge they're talking about is yet.
Yuki stared blankly at Natsume, seemingly watching the film alone, and muttered to itself, "No problem, there's nothing wrong with your intelligence."
Natsume nodded slightly. He wasn't too surprised by this. The only thing that bothered him was what deep, hidden knowledge meant.
However, seeing Yukshi's current state, he decided not to disturb him.
Natsume's gaze fell on the remaining two lake gods.
Emlido nudged Arknom.
"Okay, the sooner we get here, the sooner we'll finish."
Arknom stepped forward, and blue light, like a strong thread, wrapped around Natsume's spiritual core, testing its resilience and strength.
Arknom's previously languid expression gradually turned serious: "Yes, clear goals, deep-seated obsession, and a will as firm as a rock."
"A staunch materialist who remains steadfast in the face of all temptations and fears."
"I have a lot of willpower when it comes to things I'm interested in, and that's no problem."
When it was Amrito's turn, things took a strange turn.
A gentle pink light enveloped all the areas of Natsume's memory related to emotions.
However, Emredo's expression gradually changed from initial confidence to confusion, then anxiety, and finally even a little...
.collapse?
Its little claws waved in the air, trying to "grab" some emotional fragments from Natsume's spirit and condense them into a physical ball of light.
However, no matter how hard it tried, the inside of the pink sphere of light that it condensed in its palm remained blank.
There was no flash of joy, no mist of sorrow, no spark of anger, not even the slightest ripple of emotion.
It's like trying to draw water from a dry well; no matter what you do, you can't get a single drop.
"Impossible! How could this be?!" Emrido exclaimed in disbelief.
"Even the most composed person can't be completely devoid of emotions! Has his emotional module malfunctioned? Or has it been eaten away by something?"
It tried a few more times, but the result was the same.
The pink orb of light in its hand was as clean as freshly wiped glass.
Zhu Lan, who was standing to the side, also looked surprised.
The man with the middle parting crossed his arms, looking like he knew it.
It nodded solemnly.
As expected, the trainer is a cold-blooded and emotionless guy!
