Pokémon: Stranger Things

Chapter 257 Mori Mansion, Disturbing

In order to go to EMI City, Chensha and his party, who left the psychedelic cave, returned to Heijin City again, intending to take the road on the east side.After traveling for a period of time, they finally came to the vicinity of EMI.

"As long as you pass through the Emi Forest, you will be able to reach Emi City."

Tomorrow, he glanced at the map and directions on the navigator, and confirmed the next itinerary.Since the previous navigation device can no longer be used after modification, this time the navigation device is a new product, I hope it will be easy to use.

"Crossing the forest, you need to prepare some spray and anti-mosquito bites..."

Dust took out a few bottles of spray from the luggage on Boss Kedora's back.There are many insect elves living in the EMI forest, and among them there is no shortage of elves with a more violent temperament like the big needle bee.If you don't want to be stared at by them during the journey, it's always a good idea to prepare some insect repellent spray.

"Traveling in the forest! It would be great if I could find some new friends, I'm very interested!"

Tenma is excited about the upcoming journey.In any case, walking through the forest must be more interesting than taking the road.

Just like that, Chensha and his party packed up their luggage and entered the interior of EMI Forest.

As introduced on the map, there are many grass and insect elves living in EMI Forest, and they are not afraid of people at all.Even if there are pedestrians passing by, they do what they should do as if nothing happened.For these elves, Chensha has no intention of disturbing them, let them continue to live quietly here; Tomorrow also agrees with Chensha, he has no intention of subduing the elves he meets on the road.

However, Tianma commanded Pogaman to fight against a Mukle, and took the initiative to subdue a Mukle, which she had carefully selected from a group of Mukle with an illustrated book.Not that she liked Muckle very much, just that something came to mind.Her father is an expert in the study of bird elves, and this Mukle has excellent attributes. She plans to take the tamed Mukle home as a gift for her father.

"I feel like I can't get out of here today..."

Chensha glanced at the time on his watch.Because the EMI forest is too big, coupled with the unattended maintenance and completely wild growth of forests and bushes, it is like a natural labyrinth here.Even with the guidance of navigation, some road sections are not easy to walk.

"The weather forecast says that it may rain tonight. We should find an open space to camp as soon as possible. Tomorrow, please lead the way."

Among the three people present, Tomorrow is the best at operating the navigator, so Chensha is very relieved to leave the matter of leading the way to Tomorrow.Just after the three of them passed through a lush woodland, there was indeed an open space in front of them... There was a foreign-style building standing on the open space.

"Strange, there are no residential houses marked on the map..."

Tomorrow, he was very puzzled by the sudden foreign mansion in front of him. There was no such building marked on the map.It stands to reason that no one would build such a big house deep in the forest.

Chensha briefly glanced at the mansion in front of him.Judging from their current location, EMI Forest, this mansion should be the Mori Mansion, where the classic horror urban legend takes place.The appearance of the mansion is not dilapidated, maybe the illusion has already worked...

"I don't think it's very good here, let's leave first..."

Before Chensha could finish speaking, raindrops began to fall from the sky.Chensha flicked the rain-soaked bangs stuck to his forehead, and it seemed that he could not avoid entering the mansion.

"Everyone follow me!"

Chensha dragged two bags from Boss Kedora's back, handed one to Tianman, held the other on his head, and ran to the gate of the mansion with his companions.The door was not locked here, and Chensha knocked on the door, but no one responded, so she adjusted her breath, pushed the door open and entered the house.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

No one responded.Although there was electricity and lights turned on in the huge mansion, there was no one there.Chensha observed the environment inside the mansion, and the floor was cleaned very clean—at least it seemed so at first glance.Maybe in this timeline, this mansion is still inhabited...

No, it's not possible at all.Chensha squatted down and tapped the ground with her fingers. Her fingers brushed the clean ground, but it was stained with dust.It seems these are just hallucinations.

"There's a doorbell here."

Tianman reached out and pressed the bell she found.With a ringing bell, a well-dressed old gentleman came down from the second floor of the mansion.

"There are very few guests here. How many are...?"

The old man saluted the three of Chensha with a very chic deacon salute.According to the scale of this mansion, he may be a role like a housekeeper here.

"We are travelers who have traveled here, sorry to disturb you..."

If the interior of the mansion is made up of hallucinations, then the ghost elves and ghosts living here may be stronger than the Geng Gui subdued by Tianma.Before catching them, Chensha could only continue to act out the scene pretending to be ignorant.

Chensha maintained her usual polite attitude, bowed to the old housekeeper, and hugged Soraya who was beside her.After apologizing to the housekeeper, she told the old housekeeper why they came to this mansion.

"That's how it is. The young lady admires you in this Yang Pavilion. If you can chat with her peers, she will be very happy. Don't be cautious. Please come upstairs with me. We will treat you well."

After listening to Chensha's narration, the old man nodded thoughtfully.No abnormality can be discerned from his expression, and what he said is also a very kind invitation, which does not make people feel dangerous at all.

"Then it's your fault."

Chensha bowed to the housekeeper again, but she took an elf ball from Tianman's body under the guise of bowing.

In this way, the three of Chensha followed behind the butler and walked up the stairs leading to the second floor of the mansion.

"This......."

Tianman noticed the portrait hanging on the side, which had a portrait of a young girl painted on it.She wanted to ask, "Who is the portrait over here?"But the dust covered his mouth.Although Tianman was very puzzled, she still chose to believe in Chensha's judgment and did not continue to ask.

"A few guests, please wait here for a while, and I will order my servants to prepare the meals."

The butler arranged for Chensha and the others to sit down at the long table in the living room.It has to be said that the furnishings here are indeed antique, full of aura and cards.

"Then let's wait for a while. Waiting quietly is also a virtue of being a guest."

Chensha covered his mouth and chuckled a few times, responding to the butler's words.Looking at the performance of Tianman and Mingri, they didn't seem to be aware of the abnormality here, even Boss Kedora was the same.

[What shall we do in a moment? ]

[Listen to my command, let's continue acting now. ]

Soraya used his thoughts and dust to perform telepathy.Among the people and elves present, only Chensha and Zoroya can maintain a clear consciousness.And the key to seeing through these tricks lies in the two of them.

"I kept you guys waiting for a long time, please eat first, the lady will be here soon."

After a while, the old butler pushed the dining car and placed the plates on the table one by one—they were all empty.

"It feels.....it's going to be delicious!"

Tianman clenched her hands tightly, as if she was attracted by the non-existent food on the dinner plate. It seemed that she had completely fallen into hallucinations.

"Judging from the appearance, I feel that the taste will be very good."

The situation here is not optimistic tomorrow.Although he is not as deeply hallucinated as Tianma, he can no longer distinguish reality, thinking that the empty plate is full of food.

"Thank you for your hospitality."

Although Chensha has not fallen into hallucinations, but with her role-playing level, she can completely make herself behave like Tianma and Tomorrow.

"Then, before the dishes are cold, the guests are welcome. I'll ask the young lady to come over."

The old butler showed a gratified smile, got up from his seat and went to look for his "Miss".While observing the old housekeeper from the corner of his eye, Chensha moved the knife and fork to stuff non-existent food into his mouth.It's just a simple act of acting, it's easy.

"There are so many guests, I am so happy!"

A little girl's voice came from a side corridor.Judging from that immature voice, she was probably much younger than Tianman, and she might be the young lady mentioned by the housekeeper.

The little girl appeared in front of Chensha.She was wearing a pure white dress, but her complexion was paler and bloodless than the color of her clothes, making it impossible to feel a trace of anger.Some patients who have lived indoors for a long time also have this kind of skin color. If you think about it according to that situation, it may not be a particularly abnormal skin color, but it is not healthy.

"Well, thank you for your hospitality. Really made us feel at home. So..."

Chensha was still smiling a second ago, but her expression immediately turned serious the next second.She threw the two poke balls that she had prepared long ago from her waist, and Zoroya, who was held in her arms, also jumped out, pointing directly at the old housekeeper and the little girl standing on the opposite side of the long table.

"It's now, Commander Slash, Geng Gui, and Zoroya! This is the end of the prank!"

Commander Chop and Zoroya obeyed Chensha's command; and Geng Gui also understood the friendship between Tianma and Chensha, and was also willing to obey Chensha's command.The dark fluctuations released by Zoroya enveloped the little girl and the old butler. Compared with the little girl who was still able to hold on, the image of the old butler began to become a little illusory.

And what happened next was a little scary.A pitch-black light emanated from Geng Gui's eyes, making it impossible for the little girl who originally planned to run away.As if feeling great pain, the little girl uttered a shrill cry that was difficult for a human to reach, causing Chensha to cover her ears.

"What's going on? What happened!"

A sharp scream brought Tenma back to consciousness.She took a closer look and found that the old housekeeper and the little girl in front of her had lost their original image.The old housekeeper turned into an orange-yellow creature covered in lightning, and although the little girl still maintained a human body, her face was already distorted, and she couldn't see a human appearance at all.

"Wow!"

"Don't scream, it's just a soul."

Tomorrow, who recovered from the hallucination, covered Tianma's eyes.Although Tianman is a living person, the strange cry she made just now is comparable to that girl's ghost. Who is the ghost?

"Rotom and the Wraith huh...maybe we can sit down and have a good talk."

Chensha stretched out his hand to signal Geng Gui and Zoroya to stop first, and turned his attention to Rotom and the girl ghost.
