Pokémon: I, Xiaozhi, return to the beginning

The staircase is in a spiral shape as a whole, leading all the way to the bottom. Xiaozhi doesn't know if it is connected to a room on the first floor, or if it is a private space specially vacated when it was built.

The corridor was very dark as a whole, and Xiaozhi didn't bring a flashlight. Without the help of the flashlight, Xiaozhi could only cautiously grope along the way.

It's just that before he could take a few steps, the whole space suddenly ignited with faint blue flames.Looking towards the wall, it turned out that the torch hanging above was lit, but how did it light?Xiaozhi was indifferent to why it appeared in a faint blue color, his heart was just filled with a strange and suffocating feeling at the moment.

......

It didn't even take half a minute for Xiaozhi to arrive at the bottom of the seemingly long staircase, and it turned out to be a completely enclosed space.

The space is very small, and can only accommodate three or four people at most. The torch hanging on the wall before is in this small space...or there is also a torch on the wall directly in front of the room. Swaying in the breeze from nowhere, bright and trance.

There is a table and a chair in the center of the room, which seem to have been in disrepair for a long time, and are somewhat damaged, which is completely different from the neat and clean decoration inside the western mansion.

Illuminated by the faint blue light of the fire in the room, Xiao Zhi slowly walked to the side of the old table, and silently stretched out his hand to wipe away the thick dust left on the top.Without the cover of dust, the dilapidated diary on the table also showed its original appearance across the years.

The cover of the notebook is just a simple black, which looks very simple. The only special thing is that there is a string of unfamiliar characters tattooed in the middle.

"..."

Xiaozhi remained silent, turned the pages of the book, and began to read the contents slowly with the help of the faint blue firelight.

Although Xiaozhi was not sure what this notebook was at first, after seeing the contents of the first page, Xiaozhi probably understood——

This is a diary.

But unlike ordinary diaries nowadays, this diary does not mark a certain year or month, but only marks the day of the week and the weather conditions of each day. I don't know whether this is the trend of that era or the old man's own habits.

And it's a diary... but the content is a bit too sloppy.

"Monday, Cloudy"

"Our hotel is completed! My husband asked me to name it, but I don't have the talent for naming, so I simply called our hotel Mori no Yukan~"

The content of the diary is very concise, and it is basically just summed up in one sentence every day. There is no important information in the past few days, and there are many strange words in it that Xiaozhi can't understand.

But fortunately, this will not cause too much trouble for Xiaozhi's reading.

"Thursday, rainy day"

"The hotel's business is very good. I originally planned to write a diary to record my life every day, but the real life is too busy, and I don't have time at all."

It is conceivable that the reason for their booming business can be understood just from the interior decoration of the Mori Mansion. After all, there were few hotels in the past and the traffic was not convenient. Most people who pass by EMI Forest should choose to stay here. ?

Xiaozhi continued to read.

"Wednesday, sunny"

"Recently, the business has been getting better and better. Although the business is booming, it is very good, but this kind of life always feels a bit too monotonous."

......

"Monday, Sunny"

At this point, the handwriting and the feeling on the notes have changed a lot compared to before. There are a lot of underlined, deleted and deleted parts between the two contents. Maybe the gap between the two contents It's been a long time.

"Our business has been very good for more than a year, but both my husband and I are not very satisfied with our current life. Although the laughter of the guests after check-in can make us happy, but... this is really Is this the life we ​​like?"

......

"Friday, rainy day"

"The recent forest situation seems a bit strange. Every night there is an ominous breeze. There seems to be something laughing late at night. My husband and I have not been able to sleep well these days, and there are even plans to close the hotel. Intend."

"Saturday, Cloudy"

"It was a strange and surprising day that a little Mr. Ghost fell at our door. Although I heard that they are dangerous, my husband and I decided to rescue it! But the strange thing is that we can actually When you touch it, it's cold...cold...does the ghost have a body, too?"

......

"Friday, Sunny"

"A week later, Mr. Ghost's body has also recovered! Mr. Ghost is very powerful, it can show us very real images! We saw a lot of Mr. Ghosts in the video, but those Mr. Ghosts seem to hate this Mr. Ghost, Because it was too small, I wounded it and drove it away...It turns out that their world is as cruel as ours.”

......

"Monday, Sunny"

"We took Mr. Ghost in because we could feel that Mr. Ghost was sad... Mr. Ghost stayed because he had nowhere to go back and he seemed to want to repay us... It's just that we didn't want anything Things, I don't know how to make it repay for a while...We didn't talk, and Mr. Ghost was a little sad."

......

"Monday, rainy day"

"It's a little nerve-wracking, Mr. Ghost started playing pranks after being quiet for a while... The guests always come to us, crying and saying that our hotel is haunted... Although if this news gets out, it will be very harmful to us The impact on my business is huge, but my husband and I are having a great time, and it’s as much fun to see the guests as scared as they are when they’re happy!"

......

"Wednesday, sunny"

"Although Mr. Ghost has been educated among us, it still does its own thing. At first we thought that Mr. Ghost liked to play pranks, but later we found out that Mr. Ghost did it because he saw us laughing for a long time because of the panic of the guests."

"Well... so it's still our fault... After all, Mr. Ghost's idea is very simple, just to repay the favor... And to be honest... Mr. Ghost's pranks are indeed very funny , My husband and I have discussed it for a long time, and decided to simply change the previous style and make the Mori Mansion into a ghost hotel that is occasionally haunted! This should make Mr. Ghost happy too, right?"
