Chapter 131: The Lost Child

"Thanks for your patronage!"

Su Hao spent 50,000 Shenzhou coins at the incubator specialty store on the third floor of the Pokémon Comprehensive Center to buy the latest model of Pokémon incubator and universal energy solution. Finding that there was still plenty of time before the auction started at 6:00 PM, he decided to stroll around the mall to see if there was anything he was interested in.

The entire Pokémon Comprehensive Center was divided into five floors.

The first floor was oriented toward the city's citizens for daily life shopping.

The second floor was filled with food shops offering various types of cuisine.

The third floor was entirely dedicated to play facilities for children and Pokémon.

The fourth and fifth floors, like the specialty store where Su Hao bought the incubator, housed specialty shops for various Pokémon supplies.

The fifth floor was Su Hao's destination for tonight, the top floor specifically used for hosting various commercial events and auctions.

In cities without a Gym, or where the Gym hadn't built an officially certified battle field, an additional battle arena would be built near the Pokémon Comprehensive Center.

As a place that gathered the city's foot traffic, the Pokémon Comprehensive Center was controlled by the Shenzhou Alliance government and then recruited merchants; the prices of all items sold inside were uniform.

In a world where individuals could possess force, it was not easy for the Shenzhou Alliance to achieve this level.

In places like the United States Alliance or the Korea Alliance where powerful families and conglomerates ran rampant, group Pokémon battles occurred from time to time, and various criminal organizations fished in troubled waters, unlike the peaceful atmosphere within the Shenzhou Alliance.

He took the escalator to the first floor, intending to browse the supermarket to restock some goods.

However, nature called, and he had to solve his physiological needs first.

Following the signs hanging in the mall, Su Hao successfully found the location of the restroom.

Three minutes later, after finishing his business and washing his hands, just as he was about to walk out of the restroom, he heard a faint cry.

"Wuu... wuu... wuu."

Why is there crying?

Usually, crying coming from an empty restroom stall is the setup for a horror movie.

As soon as you open the door, something scary will appear.

Su Hao wasn't afraid.

Because this is the Pokémon world; at worst, it's just a Ghost-type Pokémon playing a prank. In reality, there shouldn't be actual ghosts, right?

With one hand gripping Carbink's Luxury Ball, ready to release her at any moment, Su Hao slowed his pace and slowly approached the stall where the sound was coming from.

On the restroom stall, the switch used to lock the door showed the indicator pointing to the green block, meaning the door wasn't locked from the inside.

After taking a slight breath, he gently pushed open the restroom stall door.

"Wuuuuuu... don't eat me."

He saw a little girl dressed in exquisite clothing crouching in the stall, burying her head in fear, her mouth continuously emitting very low-decibel crying sounds.

"Little one, why are you in the men's restroom?"

Su Hao tried his best to adjust his expression to be kinder and asked the little girl in a gentle tone.

As the little girl slowly turned her head, Su Hao couldn't help but sigh; people nowadays really raise their children exquisitely.

The little girl looked to be no more than five or six years old. Her hair was clearly meticulously groomed, with naturally slightly curled, short-long hair. She was wearing a beautiful pink dress with a cute bow tied at her waist.

One look at this child and Su Hao judged that she was raised being pampered by her family.

The little girl looked at Su Hao with eyes that were clear yet carried a hint of foolishness. She pouted and said softly: "Big brother, I can't find my big sister."

It seemed like a child who had accidentally gotten lost after coming to the mall with her family. Su Hao prepared to take her to seek help from the mall staff and try to use the broadcast to find her sister.

But before that, Su Hao had to gain the little girl's trust.

Just as he was about to give a long speech outside the stall to show he was a good person who could help her find her sister, the little girl's one sentence silenced him completely. ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
