Chapter 38: The Ghost
It's dark, it's damp, and it sends chills down your spine. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
That's what Aster City feels like.
This is true of Aster City, and even more so of the Elven Tower.
Kazuki and Red struggled to push the door open a crack, and Leo Lu squeezed through the gap.
The air was damp and smelled mildew. There was only a straight path in the tower for people to pass, and on both sides of the road were coffins for the burial of the elves, and the light was so faint that it could only be barely seen.
After looking left and right and finding no member of Team Rocket, Leolu yelled at the gap and helped the two continue to push the door.
"Looks like they're all on the top, so no one should notice us. Red called out his fire dinosaur.
"Fire dinosaur, please lead the way. ”
As soon as the flame on the fire dinosaur's tail came out, it lit up the surroundings, which can be regarded as a flashlight.
"In that case...... Little Fire Dragon, come along!"
In this way, the two guys who didn't have flashlights each had their own light source.
"Well, how can ghosts or anything exist. ”
Red followed the fire dinosaur forward, only to find that there seemed to be a man walking in front of him.
"Hey, what are you two doing here?"
The sudden words made the unsuspecting Yihui and Red instantly break out in a cold sweat. The fire dinosaur took on a battle pose, and at the same time, the flames on its tail suddenly increased, illuminating a wider area.
"Ghost...... What?"
"No......"
"I'm not a ghost. ”
The man kept coming closer, still talking nonchalantically.
Seeing the face of the comer, Kazuki and Red breathed a sigh of relief.
"The ghosts seem to haunt the upper echelons, probably because they hate Team Rocket......" the woman explained to Red.
But in such a place, if you put your long hair down and cover your face, no matter who you are, you will be shocked, right?
Leo Lu reached the top of the staircase, looked upward, and after making sure it was safe, returned to Ikki.
"And what are you here for?"
The woman frowned slightly, sighed, and pointed to a coffin not far away.
"I'm here to pay tribute to our family's Nidolan, after all, the relationship between humans and elves is not so easy to eliminate. ”
After sorting out her emotions, the woman asked Ikki, "If you are going to come here to pay respects, please be careful." She passed between the reds and Yihui, and left the elven tower.
[The lower two floors are safe, let's go up.] 】
The condition of the second floor is no different from the first floor, the only difference is that there are a few more decorative columns.
"There are a lot of elves......
Kazuki looked around as he walked. It was the first time he'd been to such a place, and if it weren't for Red and Leolu with him, he might have turned around and ran. This is not cowardice, but intellectual considerations.
Successfully passing through the second floor, they made their way up the stairs to the third floor.
"Wow!!!!"
Halfway up the stairs, a terrible scream rang out from the top of the tower.
"Let's go check it out!"
"Hmm. ”
Leo Lu took advantage of his light body, jumped up two or three times, closed his eyes and manipulated the waveguide.
'Four-storey...... No, the location of the fifth floor! It seems that the so-called ghost should be there. ’
Red and Ikki followed.
"Leolu, did you find anything?"
[The ghost should be around the fifth floor.] 】
Through the waveguide, he didn't see the ghost, after all, that kind of thing would never have a waveguide, but he found a thing running down quickly, it shouldn't be Team Rocket.
"I'll take a look. ”
Red ran towards the stairs leading to the fourth floor with the fire dinosaur.
"So what are we going to do?"
Although the little fire dragon has been acting as a light source for a long time, judging from his personality, he can't hold on anymore.
"Wow, Wai Ni Wo Ni!"
Even the screams began to tremble.
"I'm sorry for you, little fire dragon, come back and rest. ”
Yihui also knew that the little fire dragon had not been educated and had no way to overcome his difficulties.
"I'm really competent as a trainer, I don't look like a red ...... at all"
Seeing him like this again, Leolu jumped up and clawed again.
"Woooooooo
Ikki's tears were about to come out. Don't look at Leo Lu, it's less than half of Yihui's strength, and it's quite painful for a child to be hit by a strong hit.
[Don't say such frustrating words!Hurry up, we're leaving!]
With that, he handed over the illustrated book to Ikki and followed Red towards the fourth floor.
"Am I so guilty......"
After staring at his hands for a moment, Kazuki shook his head violently, shook off the mess in his head, and rushed to the fourth floor with Leo Road.
But as soon as he reached the fourth floor, he saw red sitting on the ground with a man of his age and dressed in green in the middle of the passage on the fourth floor, while the fire dinosaur and Leo Lu stood in front of the two of them, looking at the two of them steadily.
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
The man in green seemed to know Red, grabbed Red's shoulder, and said in a panic, "Appeared, appeared!"
Red, who was caught in some pain, took his hand away, and when he saw the person who hit him, he was immediately surprised: "Green?!, why are you here?"
"Leave this alone! Ghost! The ghost has appeared!"
What the?!
Kazuki nervously took two steps back.
"Where did you see the ghost......
"Right in the back, in the back!"
The man, who was called Green by Red, was obviously so frightened that he couldn't even control his voice and shouted at Ikki.
"Oulu!"
"Roar!"
Leolu and the fire dinosaur sensed something strange at the same time, and turned around almost at the same moment, blocking the three of them.
"How...... What's wrong?"
Red and Green stood up and took two steps back.
"Get out of here!"
On the stairs leading to the fifth floor, a cluster of purple flames suddenly appeared, rushing down menacingly.
"There really are ghosts!"
"Run, Red, we can't beat it!"
But fear, Red shook his head.
"If you want to go, you can go alone, I still have to save Grandpa Fuji!"
As if he had made up his mind, Red turned around and walked over to the fire dinosaur, regardless of his movements.
"Hey!red. ”
"Yes, we still have a task to do, if you want to go, please go alone. ”
Ikki also walked past Green and came behind Leo Road, standing on the same line as Red.
"You ...... Oh, yes, if that's the case, then I'll do it too!"
Despite that, Green didn't follow Red and Ikki together, but sneaked around the coffin next to them while they caught the ghost's attention.
'Ghosts, tsk, what a nuisance. ’
Judging by this stance, it seems that this ghost is not going to let Red and Ikki through. At the same time, he also knew that with his absolute pure physical attack, it was impossible to hurt the elves of the ghost system, let alone the opponent was a real ghost.
[There is a reaction of elves around!]
The illustrated book that had just been handed to Ikki suddenly sent out a message, and read it aloud in the empty space in that emotionless electronic voice.
"What? Is it an elf?"
Kazuki opened the book and pointed it at the ghost that was bubbling with purple flames.
[No sprites detected, please try again]
This is strange, it clearly shows the reaction of the elves, but it is not the one in front of you, so where is it?
Leolu didn't plan to fight, it was all ineffective anyway, and he was doing so much useless work.
"Oulu Road. Leo Lu took the illustrated book from Ikki and began to press the button again.
"If there is an elf reaction, it means that there are indeed elves around, since there is no way to find out, then it must be that the ghost department is not wrong, but this opportunity cannot be wasted." ’
Three more people ran down the stairs, and it seemed that it was the members of Team Rocket who couldn't make a mistake.
Greed just happened to walk to the staircase, turned around and glanced back at Red, who was still deadlocked, and was relieved.
"Since the opponent is a human, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Green reached for the Poké Ball at his waist.
"Green!
Kazuki suddenly shouted loudly at this time.
