Chen Shi looked troubled. To be honest, he did not really want to get involved in this.
Although Cogita had not told him exactly what his mission in the Hisui Region was, judging by Giratina's attitude toward him...
The mission most likely had something to do with the Time-Space Duo.
All he wanted now was to finish his mission and go home.
He did not want to get caught up in the Five Kings War.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Shi looked at the Zoroark before him and asked, "I asked you to protect the humans nearby. How are they doing?"
At the mention of this, Zoroark lowered her head guiltily.
"Um... I'm sorry. All the humans living nearby suddenly disappeared two days ago. I sent my kin out to look for them, but we couldn't find them anywhere."
"I let you down."
"Disappeared?" Chen Shi frowned deeply, then relaxed his brow after a moment's thought.
The people of Jubilife Village would not have disappeared for no reason. Judging by Cogita's attitude...
She clearly valued those humans and would not let anything happen to them.
Their disappearance probably had something to do with Cogita.
At that thought, Chen Shi sighed quietly.
"It's all right. This isn't your fault. If they're gone, they're gone."
As he spoke, Chen Shi smiled. "I'd been planning to take you to live with the people of Jubilife Village and hide from this war."
"Looks like we won't get that chance now."
Zoroark shook her head. "There's no hiding from it. This region is only so big. As long as the Five Kings want to find us, they eventually will."
"Even a strong pack like ours can't hide."
Chen Shi neither agreed nor disagreed. If they hid in the wilderness, they might indeed be found.
