Chapter 228 Abnormal Personality Test
Hugo took out his phone in front of N and started using it as if no one else was around.
"...What are you doing? Are you trying to get help from someone using a communication device?"
After hesitating for a moment, the green-haired youth asked somewhat awkwardly.
Humans are social animals. As a detective serving society, it is perfectly normal for Hugo to seek help from others when he encounters problems that he cannot solve alone.
But what kind of helper can be summoned to stop the blue-robed bishop on the Tower of Heaven? Will that person arrive in time? Can they save Volcano's life from the combined attack of Victini, the Star of Victory, and Earthcloud, the God of Fertility?
"You seem to have misunderstood something."
Hugo didn't look away from his phone screen, and without raising his head, he corrected the Plasma King's misunderstanding.
"Let me apologize first. My question earlier about whether it was permissible for my subordinates to murder elves was actually just a test. After all, although you said that your ultimate goal is different from Team Plasma's, the differences between people can never be explained simply by saying 'different goals.' There are means to achieve goals, motives before means, and human nature hidden within motives. Only a direct and straightforward reaction test can reveal the true nature of the test subject."
"test?"
N recalls that after the detective raised his questions, he barely said a few words, and his only reaction was to ask the detective a question after waiting for several minutes.
The green-haired youth still didn't show any pleasure, nodding in response: "That's probably the influence of the knowledge instilled in you by the sages. Don't worry, you will abandon that steadfastness."
The low crown on his head was a testament to where the aftershocks of the battle had carried him, and the wise man Jogos danced wildly.
"Although you pointed out the possibility that Sage Joggs might have harbored murderous intent towards the Pokémon Volcarona, that was basically just your professional instinct as a private detective. Just like a teacher might hold back and give a few words of advice to a promising teenager, you were merely delaying pointing out that the sage who descended the Tower of Heaven might have had criminal intentions... You even considered the thought of worrying about the Pokémon Champion and being afraid that my Volcarona would die from the combined attack of the legendary Hua Xiaojun."
Method, 2 points;
"Thinking about it casually, if you change your perspective, the reason he dared to let the conflict between Pokémon and humans occur was partly because, being able to hear the Pokémon's thoughts, he was arrogant and overconfident, believing he couldn't prevent any Pokémon from dying or being seriously injured. On the other hand, even if relations between the people outside Liyong City and wild Pokémon deteriorated, he still didn't have Team Plasma as a trump card. For a small organization like his, properly settling all the Pokémon involved in the attack wouldn't be difficult. It was only without that double guarantee that he worriedly decided to lead the wild Pokémon across the city to attack the League's military agencies."
N looked at his score with confusion. Below this, apart from the score related to humanity, none of the scores exceeded 5. It was a strange sequence.
"He'd better be prepared for the worst. Whether it's the lower limit or the upper limit, once he sets his expectations, all sorts of people will break through them at an astonishing speed. In fact, after a while, he himself broke through your expectations once," Hugo said with a shrug.
"You agree," Hugo answered firmly, surprising N who stared at his small, grass-green eyes.
The tiny flame and the chirping of insects just now were the final swan song of the Catherine after it had exhausted its strength. Although the battle appeared to be a draw with both sides suffering heavy losses, Joggs successfully completed the task of draining the last bit of life from the Volcano Moth.
Motivation, 1 point;
"His 'goal' was to free all of Hua Xiaojun from the Poké Ball. Well, that's a rather grandiose ideal, even among the villains you've heard of—he directly targeted a cornerstone that supports human society, launching a rebellion against it without any firm resolve, completely disregarding the underlying structures that might shake the earth. After all, no matter what kind of shocks they experience, human society can, with a slim chance, continue to exist. But before he removed this cornerstone, any attempt by anyone to restore it could easily be completely pieced back together from its original foundation."
"Such grand ambition wouldn't normally earn him a 7 or even 8 out of 10 in terms of 'goal'. However, there's not a single uninteresting highlight outside his plan. It's not that he devised a general strategy of first seizing the state apparatus and then achieving his goal; even with the protection of the Plasma Group's ideal kingdom, he couldn't guarantee that the Spirits he wanted to protect would be harmed by the liberation itself—a rather foolish calculation. However, that rationality was actually a manifestation of his emotions. It wasn't a provocative statement; hesitation makes one think, and determination makes one wise. A car must have no brakes to cause a crash that kills the driver and passengers. You think that rationality is a manifestation of his goal still being within a controllable range, which is why the normality index climbed below 5."
The phone screen flips over, revealing a complex yet clear spreadsheet below.
"Watching Volcano die from murder is something you can't tolerate. You really hope he can come up with a solution instead of analyzing your personality from the sidelines." N's tone was devoid of emotion.
The detective turned his head, his gray eyes meeting N's gaze.
"So that's how it is." N nodded in agreement. The green-haired youth, who hadn't yet learned his grades, showed absolutely no sign of resistance. 🐯☹ 🎁♣
Human nature, 10/10.

"Just now, the initial assessment didn't have any details, so let's just announce the results now."
A personality evaluation that involves digging into the brain, penetrating to the bone marrow, and refining one's thoughts.
"But Sage Joggs is only eight years old. I don't yet have the legendary Pokémon Landorus and the mythical Pokémon Beadyke under my command. Moreover, according to what he said later, I might use the guise of a one-on-one duel to wear down Volcarona's life with a despicable seven-on-one tactic..."
"Each item is scored out of 10. The lower the score, the more the personality deviates from the norm of human society. That's the scoring model you use when profiling criminal suspects. In more formal settings, you would definitely calculate the score to two decimal places. For each item, there are no lengthy case studies on the signs and symptoms for the same score range, so specific verification and calibration are not possible—but for him, there's probably no need for that."
The test subject does not understand my own way of expressing myself, therefore, I have the ability to hide my true self. It is not possible to understand my personality based solely on a person's perception and understanding of themselves, but rather to interpret my personality through my behavior in specific situations.
Hugo held up his smartphone and spoke to the green-haired youth.
"Just with a creature from mythical legends like Landorus, just with hearsay phantoms like Beatrice, do you really think you can defeat the undefeated champions who have been entrenched in the Unova region for half a century? Even daydreaming has its limitations; there's a time and place for that. Even if an eight-year-old child were to attack a boxer with a sharp weapon, the chances of success would be extremely slim. Is he trying to get you to stop such a murder?"

"Yes, I can tell very little." The detective, who hadn't looked up, seemed to have anticipated the other person's unusual thoughts and answered slowly.
The detective began to explain leisurely—
"So what?" Hugo glared at the Plasma King behind him.
The detective commented on Team Plasma King's lofty ideals as if critiquing a student's essay, and I continued my rambling explanation—
"Just now, you and he analyzed the current situation at the foot of the Tower of Heaven. If we were to consider it entirely from his perspective, then whether he went directly up the tower or just stood by and watched, it would have been a very wrong choice. The latter would have allowed him to immediately free the trapped Vindeck and then naturally compete with the Pokémon for the championship title. The former would have allowed him to wait for Joggs to complete his plan. Although it would have delayed the release of Vindeck, it would not have relieved his guilt. He would have launched the challenge before the champion's partner's lifespan ended."
"You understand the meaning behind his evaluation. Your 'purpose' is shocking, yet it also contains a conciliatory fantasy; 4 points is quite fitting. Your 'methods' are naive and immature; you've chosen a thorny path but are willing to follow any bottom line. Compared to reformers who choose their means, you are stronger and more difficult to win. Honestly, even a 2-point rating from him isn't an underestimation. As for your motive, you simply find 'Poké Balls' pleasing to the eye; that's a rather trivial 'motive,' and the detective who gave you 1 point thinks the same way. As for your 'distorted personality,' you obviously consider yourself a terrifying and pathetic monster."
"Compared to many lesser-known figures, your later life was unremarkable. But if one were to draw any lessons from it, there is only one sentence that can serve as a warning to the world: you need to worry about these people with weak hearts, because even if we rely on ourselves alone, we cannot overcome difficulties."
And most importantly—
At the same time, just as the detective's words were unusual, the Tower of Heaven at the end of the low grass trembled, and the sounds of collision, both large and small, reached Hugo and N's ears along with the whispers of the wind.
"The test you just completed was the final assessment of his 'means' aspect. In the power plant incident, he plotted to drive the wild Hua Xiaojun to attack the city and allowed the Smurf Sage who caused the explosion to occur beforehand, which made you think that he might be a person who would do anything to achieve his goals. But just now, his attitude towards the Pokémon Volcarona has changed your mind."
"Hahahaha! This is what a so-called Unova champion looks like!"
The green-haired youth was speechless for a moment.
"That's not just the result of the reaction test, but also the final assessment that combines all the information you've gathered about you with his actual performance in the Liyong City incident."
Can you really see anything from that?
This battle was a defeat for the Sage of the Plasma Team.
That was a much deeper and more thorough analysis of the living environment than what I had deduced from their clothes and hats when we first met.
"What are the scoring criteria?"
Objective: 4 points;
Unfortunately, it was the detective's strange constitution that brought him to work, and the scene inside the Tower of Heaven was completely different.
One second ago, bright red flames illuminated the sky, and proud chirping of insects resounded through the heavens.
A Pokémon will never recover from the death of its partner. Even if Volcarona is attacked and killed by a Team Plasma executive, its glorious life will be tarnished.
"It's really bad that I only found out from Sister Douzi that Magneton and the others are in trouble." N sighed sincerely. "It's also bad that they didn't take their anger out on the people involved. After hearing this backstory, you've lost a little more faith in humans."
"In the end, you can't even imagine it," Hugo said.
The green-haired youth finished speaking in one breath and took a step back towards Hugo.
I recalled a term uttered by a heretic in the interrogation records of the Plasma Group that I hadn't shut down—"inhuman monster."
"Personality normality index, or rather, it cannot be called antisocial degree."
"Although he keeps saying he's preparing to challenge the Unova Champions, he probably has no idea what the champions' strength is like. Does he really think the main force of the league champions is someone like Kritini who can be easily defeated by a sneak attack?"
Land cloud, and, Vulcan moth.
.
"Of course, that's not a standard for measuring human evil; that's the job of the law. That form is at least a research project driven by your personal interest—besides judging good and evil solely by experience and intuition, isn't there a more objective angle to measure the normality of criminal psychology? Out of curiosity about that problem, you tried to create that set of 'human testing rules.' To put it simply, that interpretation is bad—if all seven indicators of emotional factors are 0, then the test subject isn't a completely special person; if all are 10, then the emotional factor is a completely insane antisocial personality."
Between me and the silent champion were two exhausted and unconscious Krini on the sidelines.
"That was a 'two-way choice' where neither side had any advantage or disadvantage, but he gave up on both options and instead watched you rack your brains, hoping someone else could come up with an even worse solution, or even asked you a question when you finished using your phone—that kind of idealism is not a sign of his naivety."
"Detective, although you are a complete and full-fledged antisocial personality, you hereby formally request that I intervene to stop this murder at the foot of the Tower of Heaven."
"As for the handling of Smura, although this sage deliberately induced the disaster, the power plant, being a humane production method, was also one of the causes of the accident. How should Smura, Plant Manager William, and the employees who knew about the incident, including Telt, be fairly punished? Based on his resolve, he chose to forgive everyone equally—not to show favoritism and let go of those in his own hands, but to be fair and let go of everyone involved in the incident who had committed crimes out of compassion. After all, when he saw the elves he should have protected die because of compassion, the outcome of the incident was already predetermined. He chose to look to the future and wondered if it was necessary to sacrifice even less to save lives that could be saved."
"It seems the outcome is about to be revealed," Hugo said with a smile.
"That's too bad," Hugo replied, then continued—
In that instant, Hua Xiao became even more certain that he had given N a perfect score for humanity—he was definitely a special human being who would instinctively feel repulsed if he saw the personalities of his fellow human beings compiled into data and arranged in a table for reference. The green-haired youth behind him had expressed his agreement the moment he saw the table.
