Bang bang bang.

Bang bang bang.

There was a knock on the door outside the bathroom.

There was silence for a while.

Click.

Squeak –

With a screeching noise, the bathroom door opened from the outside.

A cold wind whistled in, and the blurred bathroom walls quickly covered with frost.

The sound of freezing shreds is like countless ants crawling.

The cypress huddled in the bathtub lowered his breathing even further, avoiding the visible white mist from exhaling.

He looked at the bleeding palms that were covered by the suncoral's smoke-like tentacles in time, and the Doron Messia, who had become honest and peaceful, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart, and felt that he should have adhered to the hints given by the clues.

At least it was quiet until the other party didn't find the door, and he couldn't help but make no noise, and even the amplitude of various movements was minimized.

If you smell blood......

Although the smoke-like tentacles of the sun coral seem to be able to hide the smell, it must have spread quite a bit before then.

To be honest, there is no way to avoid this kind of thing.

Even if there was no smell of blood, he still had the smell of long-term essence, and even if he tried his best to remove the smell from his clothes and body, it would be impossible to think of it at all.

However, the clues only kept him silent, and did not mention the smell or even various movements on his body...... Could the other person be some kind of auditory person with extremely keen hearing or only hearing?

Kashiwagi's body tensed slightly, ready for the other party to pounce.

Shoot when it's time to strike.

Whenever the other party attacks, their side will definitely have to fight back, and it's not really lying in the bathtub waiting for death, the purpose of waiting until this is to achieve the conditions for meeting the destined Pokémon, not really afraid of the unknown existence.

Speaking of which.

In this kind of icy situation, it is difficult for that guy to be a snow demon girl.

He tried to see what was outside the door through the reflection of the bathtub, but there was no light source at all, and he couldn't illuminate the other party, so it was naturally impossible to see the guy on the surface of the bathtub.

Maybe he could see the guy's appearance with the Dewen detection glass, but he couldn't guarantee that the movement of his probe was so big that the other party, who might be less than ten steps away from him, would not be able to hear it.

You have to find out how the other party exists, so that you can fight back smoothly.

Kashiwagi thought about it in his heart, and suddenly found that at least more than two minutes had passed since the door was opened, and the snow-white frost had already spread to the vicinity of the bathtub, and the other party was still outside the door and did not come in.

Why?

Do you want to wait for the frost to spread into the bath?

That's it.

The temperature in the bathroom seemed to have dropped below zero, and it was extremely unfriendly to the thinly dressed cypress, and even if you breathed slowly, there were wisps of smoke wafting out.

Dark, cold, nervous in the face of an unknown existence.

The last time it was so stressful, it seemed to be the final showdown with the Shadows.

The difference is that at that time, he can rely on fighting to vent, but at this time, he can only lie in the bathtub and wait for the distant hazy future, waiting for the opponent to attack.

Suddenly, a sense of urgency came with a little irritability.

A faint voice in his heart tempted him to get up and take the lead in attacking the unknown existence outside the door, seizing the advantage of being the first to attack.

It's saying:

Don't let the frost cover the tub and something bad will happen!

Get up!

Don't wait any longer! Can't wait!

This instant.

The muscles in Kashiwagi's body tensed, and he almost subconsciously twisted his body to stand up, but when his gaze swept over the incomparably quiet Doron Messia in his arms, the sense of crisis that forced him to attack instantly cooled.

Like a basin of cold water mixed with ice poured down, some intuition from deeper in the mind overwhelmed the impulse born from a sense of crisis.

That's right.

It's not like that.

His mind is about clues inside

Rong flashed again—

"Hide in the bathtub and don't make a sound, no matter what sounds come from around you."

The sound of the door opening, the knocking of the pendulum, the clatter of the swaying pendulum, and......

These are as subtle as the freezing sounds of insects crawling!

They are also the voices that tell him to "ignore"!

By the very least, he had failed to live up to the trust he had won so hard from Doron Messia.

Kashiwagi, who was self-examining, was clear in his heart, and suddenly felt that his brain should not have been frozen, so as not to forget the content that he always adhered to.

What's more, the environment is so cold, how can I become more impulsive?

Suddenly.

He discovered something very important, the freezing sound of the frost suddenly stopped, and did not spread all the way to the bathtub, and the paint was still dry and smooth.

The answer is obvious –

It's the guy out there who did it.

It turns out that in addition to freezing the cold air on walls, floor tiles, and ceilings, it also has the ability to unconsciously affect the mind.

This guy seems to be waiting for his side to make a move first!

It's weird.

Even though his eyes were close at hand, he did find himself, but instead of running in, he used this strange way, and the frost only went to the vicinity of the bathtub, as if he was worried about something.

Then again.

If you have to hide, it's obviously more appropriate to have a cabinet or under the bed, even if they are the standard event places in a thriller, but they are better than a semi-open bathtub.

Why did the simulator keep him in the bathtub in the bathroom......

Could it be that there is something special about the bathtub?

While Kashiwagi was thinking about it, there was a sudden more violent sound of wind outside the door, and the temperature in the bathroom dropped again, and the other party seemed to be more impatient than he imagined, and he was already trying to force him to speak up.

Pity.

If there is only such a shallow means, it will be far beyond him.

Kashiwagi closed his eyes, and his palm, wrapped in smoke-like tentacles, emitted a reassuring warmth, as if Sun Coral was reversely transporting the pure life energy that he had accumulated into his body, maintaining his vital signs.

This special technique is similar to the Happiness Egg's healing fluctuations, but the cost is far higher than if the latter used a move.

If it weren't for the urgency, Sun Coral would never have done such a stupid thing.

And the presence outside the door seems to have discovered what the sun coral is doing, and it has become even more annoyed, and the intuitive experience is that the cold wind has changed from whistling to swishing knife cuts.

Snow has piled up all over the bathroom, but the bathtub remains dry.

Such a strange situation once again confirmed Kashiwagi's conjecture.

Suddenly.

The wind stopped.

The bathroom fell into a deathly silence.

But before Kashiwagi could guess if the guy had left, the initial clatter sound that accompanied the movement sounded in the doorway.

It's coming in!

His eyes widened, and he felt the slightly tense body of Doron Messia in his arms, and when his head moved slightly, he found that Sun Coral also opened his eyes like red candles.

However.

The tacit understanding with the sun coral cultivated in the past six months told Kashiwagi that the place he was concerned about was not the guy who came into the bathroom, but the bathtub under them!

Huh?

Kashiwagi was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person flew up.

That's right, with a bang, and with a terrible scream, he flew straight from the bathtub to the ceiling.

"Ah——!!h

It was as if a spring was installed behind his back that was pressed to the extreme, and a majestic force pushed him into close contact with the ceiling. Fortunately, his hands were quick and he pressed his hands and toes against the ceiling with his hands and toes, which were not wrapped in smoke-like tentacles, so that he was not knocked into the dust.

At the moment of falling according to the inertia, he looked forward and found the bathtub Shoichi

As he changed, he pounced on the guy who had entered the bathroom—

"Death Coffin" and "Snow Demon Maiden"!?

Wait a minute! It doesn't seem to be!

How could the Snow Maiden look so slender and weird? It's like a female ghost in that kind of supernatural movie.

And the ice beads hanging from my waist.

Could it be that the clattering sound is made by them colliding with each other?

Kashiwagi tries to look more closely, but discovers that the bathtub that has been transformed into the coffin of the god of death has swallowed the attacking "Snow Demon Maiden", and he is stepping on something soft.

He looked down and found himself stepping on the broad palm of the Night Spirit, half of its body poking out of the darkness gap—

It's Fleur's Night Spirit!

Kashiwagi easily recognized the guy, who seemed to recognize him and gently set him aside.

Forthwith.

Next to it came a human head wearing two red flowers.

"Sure enough, this is the real entrance!"

Fleur happily scanned everything around her, and at first glance she saw the Death Coffin where something was being bound at the door, and then the cypress next to it.

"Kashiwagi dear! You're really!"

She was not at all conscious of being in a special environment, as if she was home, and emerged from the darkness with the Night Spirit.

They are followed by Bonnie, who has a rather cold expression, and the huge Ice Ghost Go.

But when she saw Kashiwagi standing next to her, her brows furrowed quickly, and she leaned up as if she was about to question, but her mouth was full of concern: "Are you okay? Where did it hurt?"

「…… It's nothing."

Cypress shook his head, the tiger's mouth had already been stimulated by the infusion of Sun Coral's life energy, and the self-healing ability was restored.

He looked at the Grim Reaper's coffin at the door, and didn't expect that the bathtub he was lying in was actually transformed by this guy, the key was that he had been lying in the bathtub for so long, and he hadn't been mummified yet.

Is it because I haven't made a sound?

Fleur came to the door, saw that the Death Coffin had completely locked the attacker in her body, looked at it carefully, and said, "You just blocked the entrance, right? No wonder we can't get in!"

The man was really bold, spoke without hesitation and reached out to touch the golden mask on the forehead of the Grim Reaper's coffin.

Unexpectedly, after she touched the golden mask, a sound came from the mask's mouth.

"Young psychics, you're lucky."

"Lucky? Where's the luck?"

The brainless sentence made Fleur stunned.

The golden mask on the forehead of the Grim Reaper's coffin replied, "Everyone who disturbs my sleep in the middle of the night will be imprisoned. You, not the first, will spare you this time."

"Wow! Such a big breath!"

Fleur was shocked, and sent Shenshan to carry the handle, and it was the first time that she was so provoked by a ghost-attribute Pokémon after beating all over the ghosts and ghosts!

But after looking left and right, she suddenly raised her eyebrows and said, "Wait, you are the Pokémon who "guarded the door"?"

"Exactly."

The voice from the Grim Reaper's coffin was full of pride.

Fleur turned her head and thoughtfully explained to the two bewildered people behind her, "There will be Pokémon guarding the door at the entrance to every reality and spirit world, and they basically take this position spontaneously.

"It will guide all kinds of ghosts into the spirit world, and also prevent them from going out casually, balancing the two worlds. Such Pokémon are generally very strong, unlike ordinary ghost Pokémon, you can see that they can do things like talking."

Kashiwagi nodded in realization.

No wonder that the snow demon girl-like guy didn't dare to come in casually, but in the end he couldn't hold back.

At this time, the Grim Reaper Coffin spoke again.

"Nothing else, go out with your companions! Psychic Trainer! I don't know how you opened the rift, but this is not a world where the living can roam back and forth!"

"Since we're here, there's definitely something going on!"

Fleur replied confidently, and looked at Doron Messia, who was hiding in Kashiwagi's arms, "Huh? When did you become so close?"

Just when you left it to me to take care of.

Kashiwagi complained to himself, holding out Doron Messia with his hand, and telling it that the critical moment to find his brother had arrived.

Already convinced of the former, Messi Adam flew over.

"Hee-hee!"

"Hmm."

Fleur glanced back and forth between it and Kashiwagi, but didn't say anything, just said to the Grim Reaper's coffin, "This child's brother seems to have come here by some means, can you help find it?"

Hearing this, the Death Coffin leaned over like a hill towards Duolong Messia, scaring the latter a lot.

「…… How can you be sure that its brother is here?"

"Through divination, of course! Since you know the psychics, it is impossible that you don't know the housekeeping skills of our psychics, right?"

Fleur smugly crossed her hips.

Divination?

Is it the kind of Ge Jihua, the owner of the Hundred Carving Gym in the Carlos area?

No, she seems to be using Starlight to peek into the past and future of Ash's croaked frog, and then spoils that it will save the Carlos region and gain a new evolution, the Nexus Evolution.

Kashiwagi looked at the Grim Reaper's coffin, wondering how it would respond.

Unexpectedly, when the other party heard this, he suddenly fell silent, and replied after a few seconds, "Since this is the case, then you can find it yourself!" In this ghost hotel!"

Ghost Hotel!

It gave way to the outside and said, "But don't blame me for not warning you if you fall somewhere. The tenants here are all irritable, and it's not uncommon for them to be like the Snow Witch or even worse!"

When the Grim Reaper's Coffin said this, Kashiwagi felt as if it was looking at him.

"Wait, I want to ask, was it the Snow Demon Maiden who just tried to attack me?"

He hurriedly raised his hand and asked, "But that shape doesn't seem to resemble the snow demon girl in my memory, and those ice beads ......

「……」

The Grim Reaper's coffin didn't seem to intend to answer his question, and flew back to the top of the pitch-black crack and gradually changed back to the appearance of a bathtub, as if intending to continue to block the entrance to this spiritual realm.

But just when Kashiwagi felt sorry, its voice came.

"It's a disguise of a human-female appearance made of ice and snow, trying to confuse a stupid young human like you! As for the ice beads...... Hey, hey, I said those are human male souls, do you believe it or not?"

The laughter was high-pitched.

Human female appearance camouflage?

It's so awkward, and the co-author turned out to be the ice and snow version of "painted skin"! It's just that this painting is too ...... You can be confused by this appearance, how heavy the taste is!

While cypress wood was secretly complaining, he couldn't help but tremble when he thought of those ice beads.
