My Elf Super Water

Chapter 417, Urban Legend

Chu Yue searched for a long time in the Ghost Tower by herself.

The strange thing is that there is no mistake in the route in the tower, but the tombstone mentioned by the mysterious old man can't be found.

It took about half an hour for Chu Yue to go through the entire Phantom Tower, but she still couldn't find the tombstone No. 13. If you observe carefully, you can find a simple rule:

The serial numbers of the tombstones in the ghost tower are arranged according to 01-999. The uppermost corner of each floor is almost the 12th tombstone, but the next row of corners becomes the 14th tombstone.

In other words, the number 13 is very unlucky, and the tombstone of No. 13 does not exist at all.

In order to ensure that Chu Yue's observations were absolutely correct, he directed the little Kami turtle, the giant claw crab and the horned goldfish to search for three whole circles separately. The result was that the tombstone No. 13 did not exist, and the only tombstone the three little ones saw was 12th and 14th.

"It's really strange, that is to say, the tombstone No. 13 mentioned by the old man can't be found at all, right? Did the old man remember it wrong?"

The three little ones also encountered more than a dozen wild ghosts in the process of searching for the tombstone. At this time, there are quite a lot of ghosts living in the ghost tower.

But because the level of these wild ghosts is generally very low, Chu Yue felt that there was no need to stay here for leveling, so she immediately took the three little ones and prepared to return to the old man's home.

[5 o'clock in the middle of the night. The home of the mysterious old man]

Dark night with dark clouds.

The mysterious old man's house was still brightly lit, and the warm light seemed to turn into a guiding light in the middle of the night. Chu Yue followed the light and quickly found the right way, and returned to the old man's house naturally.

Chu Yue gently pushed open the door, and found that the shoes that were originally placed in the entrance were missing a pair.

"Oh oh oh oh young man, you're back~"

The mysterious old man seemed very happy after seeing Chu Yue. He seemed to be busy with something, wearing a kitchen apron on his body, gently put down the shovel in his hand, and continued to say to Chu Yue:
"How do you feel now? Is it very effective to make a wish after finding that tombstone? Let me just say, the earth recipe will definitely work for you~"

Seeing the mysterious old man maintaining a mysterious smile, Chu Yue suddenly began to wonder whether the old man had developed amnesia due to his aging, or had mispronounced the serial number of the tombstone:
"Grandpa, I'm really sorry. I just searched around and didn't find the tombstone No. 13 you mentioned. I wonder if you remembered the serial number wrong?"

[…] The mysterious old man was silent for a second...

Immediately afterwards, the old man continued to maintain a kind smile and suddenly laughed awkwardly:
"Oh hahahaha, I'm so sorry, young man, I seem to have misremembered the tombstone, ah, yes, I was talking about the number of the tombstone before, look at my memory, whoops..."

Giving up, Chu Yue's focus has shifted from the mysterious old man to Steve's disappearing shoes.

"Grandpa, where did Steve go?"

"Um, did you mean Steve?"

"Oh oh oh oh, that boy just woke up suddenly, and he couldn't wait to go home as soon as the heavy rain stopped. Oh, by the way, young man, he was very happy when he left, and the old man couldn't even stay."

Chu Yue didn't expect that she would miss the final farewell to Steve in such a short time when she went to the Ghost Tower.

Considering that he did say that he misses his hometown in Rainbow City very much before he fell asleep, it is possible that the impatient homesickness forced him to disappear without a trace before he could say hello.

Chu Yue was still a little disappointed:
"Well, it seems that Steve should be home soon, it's a pity that I can't thank you in person, I can only wish you a smooth journey here, friend."

The moment Chu Yue finished speaking, the mysterious old man did not change his apron, but walked towards the door in a strange manner and said:

"Hey, young man, I'm in a hurry to go to the market to buy some food, can I ask you to help me look at the house for a while, how about I thank you for cooking delicious food when I come back?"

Chu Yue said that you're welcome, even if the old man comes back, he doesn't need to cook to thank him, but he still recognizes the old man's cooking skills from the bottom of his heart, after all, he will never forget that pasta meal.

So the mysterious old man left the house in such a hurry with a cloth bag, and closed the door after saying that he was going to the market.

——Urban legend dividing line——

This time, there was no one around, and the Rotom illustration book in Chu Yue's backpack finally couldn't hold back anymore, and it floated out with a very suspicious question mark face:
【Master, Ben Luoto has something to say!】

amount.

【Master, your IQ today is so low that it cannot be lowered. Didn’t you find that the old man is very problematic, and he is super problematic. He is not a good person at first sight!!】

Maybe the Rotom Picture Book is a bit serious. The mysterious old man is just a lonely old man who has lived alone for a long time.

【Hmph, if you don't believe the master, you should investigate that smelly old man's house carefully!】

This makes sense, now that the mysterious old man NPC is gone, Chu Yue can thoroughly investigate this house by herself, and even carry out a carpet search without any problems.

At the corner of the living room on the first floor, Chu Yue found an item behind the potted plant, 【Advanced Potion】X1.

On the first row of the bookshelf on the second floor, Chu Yue found a mutilated diary. In the diary, a few intermittent words could be vaguely recognized, as if the old man had written them:
【Why am I always alone...】

[I long for love, but everyone has left me, she, Hu Di, and everyone. From now on, I will live a life alone, so lonely. 】

In the corner of the bedroom on the second floor, Chu Yue carefully smelled a trace of rust. It might be that the iron frame bed had not been repaired for a long time and had rusted. He went downstairs without paying attention.

Seeing that Chu Yue did not find out why, the Rotom Pokédex loudly broadcast the report:

"[To tell you the truth, master, after Ben Luoto tested, 99% of what the old man said just now were lies. Ben Luoto just didn't have the nerve to expose him. Master, get out of this wretched place!]"

What, why does the good old man lie to others?
Thinking this way, Chu Yue still didn't believe in the Rotom illustration book, but after some investigation, he also found many doubts, such as two places in the mysterious old man's house were blocked by giant box obstacles.

The location 1 blocked by the box leads to the basement corridor of the old man's house.

The location 2 blocked by the box leads to the entrance and exit of the back garden of the old man's house.

These huge boxes are all made of special materials, obviously they are not ordinary roadblocks that can be cracked by strange power, rock breaking, and flash.

"Rotom Illustrated Book, you have a way to move these boxes, I need you to start a special program!"

Rotom Illustrated Book: "【Okay master, the special program code has been activated, and the map wall penetration code CE6143E64919FA63 is being loaded, you can immediately pass through the wall!】"

whoosh-

Chu Yue walked through the back door of the mysterious old man's house and came directly to the back garden!
【!】Waiting for him there are just groups of ghosts of the dead floating in the air!!
