The portraits on the wall were crooked, and red liquid was even seeping out of them.
The curtains moved without wind.
The temperature suddenly turned cold
Serena and others, who were in the prime of their youth and in good health, felt cold, as did the Super Rookies.
Lin Xi, however, seemed completely unaffected, as if she were detached from the situation, gazing thoughtfully at Jia Hui.
A few minutes later, seeing that the farce was not over...
Lin Xi got angry
"Have you made enough of a scene?"
Lin Xi roared
An overwhelming surge of psychic power erupted from the body of the fallen.
The chandelier no longer swings
The portrait is no longer crooked
The temperature is no longer cold
Everything returned to normal
Serena and the others were alright, knowing that Lin Xi's superpowers were a little too outrageous, but Jia Hui was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth.
"I'm so sorry! They've been showing off their limited skills in front of you."
Jia Hui apologized very decisively.
"they?"
Lin Xi roughly understood that these were all Ghost-type Pokémon.
"They are ghost Pokémon. They are all my family. When we are out and about, it is only right to help each other when we encounter difficulties. In return, I will play some pranks with Gastly and the others. That's why 'The Haunted City Chronicles' came about."
Jia Hui is in danger
"You guys come with me"
Jia Hui took the initiative to lead the way
They entered a room where Gastly was fiddling with the curtains, Haunter was moving a chair, and Gengar was playing the piano. There was no invisibility; everything seemed to be explained scientifically.
It turned out that all the strange events were caused by them. Serena and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but Lin Xi's expression grew increasingly grave; there was still something he couldn't explain.
No...that's not right!
Lin Xi concluded that Gastly and the like could not transform into a vengeful female ghost.
And that resentment couldn't possibly have been caused by these Pokémon.
None of these Pokémon are as powerful as the Elite Four members; they simply couldn't possibly block Lin Xi's mental perception!
Have you ever seen my Rocket Sparrow?
Lin Xi really wanted to hear what Gastly and the others had seen.
Gastly and the others shook their heads.
"Things have gotten complicated..."
As expected, things weren't that simple. Lin Xi sighed. Why had the Pokémon world adventure turned into something so sinister?
"Could the Rocket Sparrow be somewhere else?"
Citron felt the situation was quite reasonable, after all, he believed in science!
"No, it's here."
Lin Xi shook his head, not knowing why he always felt a connection to the Huo family's arrow sparrow; he trusted his intuition!
"Then we'll help you look for it!"
Jia Hui offered to help.
The group made a grand entrance as they searched for Rocket Sparrow within the mansion. Lin Xi kept an eye on Cole; she was indeed searching diligently, and even though she was a ghost without a shadow, she was a benevolent ghost with no ill intentions.
They searched for several tens of minutes, but there was no sign of Rocket Sparrow. Apart from Miss Jia Hui, they didn't even see a ghost.
"Miss Jia Hui, is there some kind of basement here?"
Lin Xi asked casually, but Jia Hui thought carefully and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head. She covered her head and patted her forehead with her hands.
“…”
"What should I have forgotten..."
After a short while, she regained her composure.
"I remember now, there's a passageway in the living room that leads directly to the basement, and there's a room there."
They entered the living room, turned on the switch Jia Hui had mentioned, and found themselves in a narrow passage. Lin Xi and the others reached the end of the passage and were stunned by the sight before them.
There's a room here, with many talismans pasted on the door, as if a monster is sealed inside, and the consequences of its release would be unimaginable.
Lin Xi: .....
It feels more and more like the underworld.
The talisman was a rectangular piece of yellow paper, upon which were drawn runes full of spiritual energy. Seemingly sensing the restless evil spirits in the room, the exorcism talisman emitted a faint golden light.
"How is this going?"
Jia Hui appeared and disappeared like a ghost, scaring Hitron out of his wits.
"Miss Jia Hui, what's wrong with you? You walk without making a sound!"
He hasn't realized how serious the situation is!
“She doesn’t need to walk. Gastly can pass through walls, and so can Jia Hui, because she’s not human at all.”
He stood by, muttering softly... "Don't you believe in science?"
"Not human? What do you mean?"
Citron felt a chill run down his spine. If he wasn't human, didn't that mean...?
Citron broke out in a cold sweat; it couldn't be real...
The gentle and kind Miss Jia Hui is actually...
Jia Hui covered her head and thought hard. After a moment, she said, "I remember now. I think I've been dead for over two hundred years."
Citron: !
This made Zhizi and the others realize why he felt cold while Jia Hui didn't. They had assumed it was because he had been spending too much time with Gastly and had gotten used to it.
result.....
"Don't make a fuss. Miss Jia Hui was a good person in life and a good ghost in death. That's not the point. Can you tell me about the talisman?"
Lin Xi wasn't afraid; his own strength was enough to make him fearless of any danger!
Honestly, Lin Xi really wants Yinhe to come out and see the world.
Galaxy: Have some decency!
“About two hundred years ago, when my family first moved here, we encountered a lot of paranormal events. At that time, we didn’t know it was the Gastly’s pranks, so my father made traps and passages that led directly to the basement. We also hired an Onmyoji to exorcise the demons. The talisman on the iron gate was put up at that time. Because the paranormal events continued, I always thought she was a fraud.”
Jia Hui recalled the past, never imagining that hundreds of years had passed in the blink of an eye...
Chapter 238 Face-to-Face Kill!
Has anyone ever died in your house?
Lin Xi recalled the ghost movies he had watched.
Do I count?
Jia Hui pointed to herself
"Besides you, is there anyone else?"
Lin Xi rolled her eyes. Wasn't that obvious?
"To my knowledge, no."
Jia Hui pondered for a long time, but couldn't recall anything.
"That's strange. Logically speaking, wandering ghosts don't stay. Only when someone dies somewhere and the house becomes a haunted place will a ghost settle down."
Lin Xi stroked her chin and began to analyze, "She died before you moved in. What you bought is a haunted house where someone has died."
"No wonder the price was so low. I thought it was a friend's price. My dad and the original owner of the house were friends for many years."
Jia Hui suddenly realized
“There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. This house is a burial site, so of course he’s eager to sell it, which is why he’s selling it at a low price. He could very well be the murderer. Even if he didn’t kill him, he’s still culpable.”
Knowing only this much information, Lin Xi could only speculate based on the films he had seen before. Knowing his enemy and himself, he could negotiate with the female ghost and win every battle.
