Chapter 941: Tragedy in the Mansion

Unfortunately, the ghost girl in the white-haired form was obviously unable to communicate normally. She just kept repeating something like "I want to eat you" and "I want to absorb you", and kept rushing towards Xia You. Even though she was blocked by Gardevoir, she kept repeating the process and constantly attacking Gardevoir's invisible barrier.

And seeing that she didn't dodge or evade, and was so persistent in wanting to attack Xia You, as if she had a strong obsession, Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel very strange.

"Brother Xia You, why does this ghost girl want to...eat you so much? Did you do something weird to her when we were resting just now?"

Xia You gave Xiao Yao a slap on the face and rolled his eyes at her!

"What are you talking about? Haven't I been with you since we entered the mansion?"

Xiaoyao covered her head and stuck out her tongue.

"I know, I was just joking with you..."

Seeing these two people still having such a small fight in such a tense atmosphere, Ya Mi was both surprised and amused. However, she was in no mood to join in. She just asked nervously: "Mr. Xia You, ghosts...are all like this?"

I'm afraid even Ya Mi herself didn't realize that after only knowing each other for a few hours, she had already regarded Xia You as her backbone.

But this is not surprising. After all, in such a strange and dangerous environment, there is a "captain" type figure around who is not only powerful but also so calm. For a person like Yami, it is difficult not to follow his instinct and choose to trust him.

"Of course not." After hearing what Yami said, Xia You thought of the female ghost in Kanto Maiden Gorge and shook her head. "Not all ghosts are bad. Some are strong and some are weak. The specific situation depends on the reasons and conditions for their formation. The ghost girl in front of me has obviously been stimulated by something before, which is why she has become so aggressive."

"Now what?"

Xia You turned his gaze back to the ghost girl: "It seems that we can only let her regain her sanity first."

After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and in the next second, Gardevoir and Gengar exerted their strength at the same time. The ghost girl who was originally trying to approach him was controlled by two energies and was directly bound in mid-air!

In fact, according to the characteristics of ghosts, they can usually dissipate in the air, but obviously both Gardevoir and Gengar thought of this, and therefore directly restricted her ability, making her unable to move even a finger. Even if the ghost girl struggled to resist, she could only let her hair fly and was powerless to rage.

Yami was also surprised to see that these two Pokémon had such strong power.

She had never heard of Xia You's name before, nor did she know who Xia You was. Naturally, she had no way of knowing about Xia You's glorious deeds. She just regarded him and Xiaoyao as ordinary traveling trainers, well... just like herself. But now, as she got to know him more and more, she slowly felt that this man was extraordinary.

She had never seen a man so calm and with such strong Pokémon skills!

This full sense of security was something she had never experienced before!

On the side, seeing that the ghost girl had been controlled, Xia You looked at his Gengar.

"How long will she last like this?"

"It's hard to say." Gengar shook his head. "Unless she takes the initiative to remove this state, otherwise, I can only wait until her ability weakens and the passive is cancelled. Of course, I can also forcibly remove her state, but it will inevitably cause irreparable damage to her overall condition."

"Then just leave it alone for now." Xia You didn't care, but said, "Didn't you also capture the ghost butler? I think his thinking is still normal. You try to see if you can communicate with him."

"Let's talk about that later." Geng Gui chuckled, "I'll take you to an interesting place first!"

"Interesting place?"

Xia You was curious, so he left Gardevoir here to watch over the ghost girl. Then, under the leadership of Gengar, the three of them left the library and came to the master bedroom of this mansion.

In fact, it can be clearly felt that the overall maintenance of the first floor of the mansion is relatively better than that of the second floor. Although it is still shabby, at least some items such as books, carpets, crystal chandeliers, etc. are well preserved. It can be seen from this that it is probably because of the continuous maintenance of these two ghosts.

This also allowed them to clearly see what the master bedroom looked like before it was abandoned after entering it. Of course, because there had been so many trainers here before, the place had already been turned upside down, but everything was scattered all over the floor, and there were also many traces of battle, which looked equally horrible.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Ignoring the mess all around, Gengar led the three to a wall and pressed a switch.

The next second, with a series of 'clicking' sounds of gears turning, the wall slowly opened, revealing a secret passage deep underground!

Gengar smiled proudly: "I found this when I was chasing that ghost girl just now. If I hadn't gone underground first and found the secret room from underground, I would never have found this mechanism!"

Ghost-type Pokémon do have this convenience.

When others look for a secret room, they usually take great pains to find the mechanism first. Only after they find and unlock the mechanism can they enter the secret room behind. However, ghost-type Pokémon first discover the secret room by passing through walls and entering the ground, and then easily unlock the mechanism through the connection between the secret room and the secret door.

It can be said to be very convenient.

It’s a must-have Pokémon for haunted house adventures!

The entrance of the cave is deep and continues downwards. It is pitch black and one cannot see what is inside at all.

Without any hesitation, Xia You raised the flashlight and walked down first.

As for Xiaoyao and Yami, even though the two ghosts had been captured, they still couldn't help feeling a little scared when they saw the secret passage that looked like a huge mouth of the abyss.

However, seeing that Xia You had already taken the lead in entering the secret passage, since the backbone had moved, they no longer hesitated and immediately chose to follow.

Xia You walked down the stairs slowly and steadily.

Gengar was right, no trainer had ever set foot here.

This can be seen from the flat ground and walls.

As the core area of ​​the first floor like the library, those trainers who have mistakenly entered here may have been attacked by the ghost girl and the ghost butler before they could discover the secrets here.

This secret passage was not too long, only about four or five meters. However, because it was deep underground, the surrounding soil and stone walls were filled with the dark energy of ghosts, so it absorbed some light. When a flashlight was shone on it, it could only reflect a small, faint circle of light.

Because of the poor visibility, Xia You simply released his Blaziken. When it condensed a ball of flame in his palm, the surroundings immediately became much brighter.

This once again makes us sigh at the convenience of Pokémon.

After passing through the secret passage, they were already standing in a small stone chamber. Xia You only took a glance around and realized that this was a research room.

I saw that the room was filled with various instruments of unknown use. The bookshelves and desks were also full of opened books and messy papers. Just like outside, these things were scattered all over the floor, and it looked like they had been swept away.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel confused.

"Didn't they say this place has never been discovered by a trainer? Why is it still so messy?"

Walking to a desk, Xia You wiped the thick dust on it with his fingers, flipped through some research materials, and finally glanced around and shook his head.

"No, these were not caused by the trainers who broke into the mansion." He frowned and said, "The handwriting in these notes is obviously different, as if they had two owners. Some are neatly arranged, while others have been roughly rummaged through. So I guess... since this secret room belongs to the owner of this mansion, then someone must have occupied it later and studied the things here."

With a thought in his mind, Xiaoyao instantly thought of a possibility.

"You mean..."

His eyes met hers, and the tacit understanding brought about by the long journey made Xia You nod her head.

"Yes, it should be what we think."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Yami was confused and asked, "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

He integrated what he had learned from playing the game before with the information revealed in the anime. Although there was no direct evidence, Xia You still made bold inferences.

"In fact, this is easy to understand. We all know that not all humans can become ghosts after death. What's more, there are two ghosts and a ghost in a painting appearing in the same house at the same time. Therefore, we can conclude that something must have happened here."

This statement was unanimously agreed by Xiaoyao and Yami.

Xia You continued, "From the dust on the table, we can see that someone was using this place at least a year or half a year ago. Considering that it was only in the past year that people began to see haunted houses and be attacked by ghosts in this forest, we can conclude that something happened half a year ago that caused this mansion to become what it is now."

Xiaoyao and Yami nodded again, having no objection to Xia You's analysis, and at the same time, they admired Xia You even more.

You know, the three of them entered this mansion together and saw the same thing.

But under such conditions, he was able to guess so many things with just so few clues. It's really amazing!

When Xiaoyao turned around and saw the admiration slowly appearing in Yami's eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little proud.

Hehe, this is her brother Xia You!

Now you have seen how powerful he is!

Xia You naturally didn't know what the two were thinking, and was still making the final summary: "And from the notes, it can be seen that the one who caused this change should be the latecomer. He occupied this place, and he was also the one who discovered this secret room, stole the research results here, and led to the birth of the ghost of the mansion! So I guess he must be a researcher or scholar!"

Although Xiaoyao knew that Xia You was just guessing, she knew that this must be the case!

She clenched her fists and said angrily, "This is so abominable! How can there be such bad people in the world!!"

"That's nothing." Xia You sighed, "There are many people who are worse than this. You know, human hearts are always the most complicated and unpredictable. Good and evil are often just a thought away!"

Although Yami looked like someone who was easy to bully, she was obviously a gentle and kind person in her heart. After hearing about such a tragedy, she was also very angry. She said angrily: "Mr. Xia You, can you find out who did it? When I get out of here, I will report it to Miss Junsha!!"

Having such thoughts is indeed in line with the practices of a decent trainer.

Calling the police is always the best way to resolve disputes!

After all, hasn’t Xia You himself always done things this way?

The only difference is that the ones cooperating with him are not ordinary police, but international police.

"In fact, you have already called the police." Xia You took out his International Police Special Investigator ID from his chest pocket and showed it to Yami in front of her surprised eyes. "Let me reintroduce myself. In addition to being a trainer, I am also a member of the International Police. After I leave here, I will inform them of this matter."

International Police!?

Ya Mi was even more surprised to hear that Xia You actually had such an identity. In her eyes, Xia You's image became more tall and mysterious.

"Then... can we catch that person?"

"It's hard to say." Xia You shook her head, pouring cold water on her. "There's no name of that person in these notes, so if you want to know his or her identity, you have to start from other places. But it doesn't matter. I also know a lot of authoritative people in the scientific community. Once I give these materials to them for analysis and research, they should be able to find some clues."

After saying that, seeing that there were no other clues here, he ordered Xiaoyao, Mei and Gengar to pack up all the information and documents and take them out of the secret room.

She took out her cell phone and sent a message to the handsome guy, roughly telling him what had happened. She also asked him to send someone to deliver the information to Dr. Sakuragi in Kanto. Then, Xia You, Xiaoyao, and Mei returned to the library again.

Although nearly half an hour had passed since they left, what was surprising was that the ghost girl was still in the second stage and showed no signs of returning to normal.

What a strong determination...

Shaking his head, Xia You ignored her and asked Geng Gui to release the ghost butler.

The next second, without any big movement from Gengar, a round black hole opened up in mid-air, and as it reached into the hole, the ghost butler that had been seen before was pulled out of the hole!

It has to be said that Gengar's strength has improved significantly since he started traveling with Xia You in Girl Gorge.

It was already extremely powerful, and after going through so many events, it became even stronger. It could even create ghosts in the void!
