Pokémon: I, Xiaozhi, return to the beginning

"Everything you do now is to help her realize her dream, right?"

Xiaozhi squatted down, keeping his line of sight parallel with the night watchman, and asked.

"DU~"

Finally, under Xiaozhi's gaze, Ye Xunling spoke and nodded.

"Since this is the case, what is the dream of the old man? You should also know that it is impossible to make this place a world-famous haunted house as they said, and they never thought about it from the beginning."

"..."

The night watchman was silent, it knew this very well.

"Since you know, there is no need to continue to deceive yourself, right?"

"DU!"

Ye Xunling suddenly took a step forward and looked at Xiaozhi with unwilling eyes.

If not, what am I supposed to do?

Even though he couldn't understand what the Night Watchman said, Xiaozhi could still see the meaning from its words and actions.

It is cruel to deprive the night watch spirit of the hope of living, but all this is what the old man hopes, and it is also what the night watch spirit wishes for.

This is its home field, and it can stop all its actions if it wants to, but it doesn't.

"If you don't want me to say that, you can stop me from the beginning, there is no need to continue to deceive yourself."

The life of a ghost-type Pokémon is very long, so long that it seems that there is no end in sight.

But a long life does not mean that they really like to stay in one place. Ghost-type Pokémon like dark places, but this does not mean that they like to be alone. Ghosts will act together in groups. Time to entertain yourself with pranks.

And this night watch spirit can't get anything here, all it can get is a distorted sense of satisfaction, and it obviously understands this.

Thinking of this, Xiaozhi began to flip through the diary, and the content was fixed before and after the strange ambition that the old man and her husband uttered——

"Monday, sunny"

"Mr. Ghost seemed very happy when he heard that we wanted to turn this place into a world-famous haunted house. After all, it has been trying to repay us since it was rescued by us...Although I'm sorry, but we really didn't expect it What is needed, maybe this goal can make it a little happier~"

......

"Sunday, sunny"

"Although I'm sorry for those customers who were scared away, Mr. Ghost's mood has really improved recently, and the pain from the heart when he was attacked and driven away by his companions seems to be gradually relieving. Prove that our thinking is correct? But we have to keep this matter a secret from Mr. Ghost, otherwise if it finds out, it will get angry again."

......

"Wednesday, rainy day"

"He has been gone for a while, and there are only me and Mr. Ghost left here...I don't know how long this kind of life will last...Mr. Ghost is also very sad about his departure. In this situation Now, I should be stronger, right? If both of us are enveloped in sadness, how will we go on..."

......

"Sunday"

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... I can't hold it anymore, Mr. Ghost... I can only remember this name... I can't see you anymore... But the most important thing is I have forgotten our promise."

"I can feel that you are trying to do something, but I dare not ask, I can only follow you to do it... I don't know if this is what you want, but I have nothing else in the world Rely on me, as long as you can live happily... The promise should also disappear in the long river of time with my departure... But, really... I'm sorry..."

......

The last diary entry was not recorded in a diary, but on a separate letter paper.

Although Xiaozhi didn't understand the reason why the old man did this, it must be because of the old man's guilt towards the night watchman, so he wanted to record it in such a special way to seek some peace of mind.

It's just that the old man's heart, which seems to be for the sake of the night watchman, actually put a solid shackle on the night watchman and trapped it for thousands of years.

The whole story is ridiculous. Before the old man died, what the old man thought about was to make the night watch spirit happy; and what the night watch spirit thought about before and after the old man left was to try to make the wish that the old man made for it back then be fulfilled.

In fact, who wants to realize this wish?

This wish is like a gray humor that makes people feel sad and helpless, and it tightly binds the hearts of the two of them.

And Xiaozhi speculates that the reason why the night watchman can keep the old man's soul here is probably because the old man's obsession with this world was too deep before he died, right?Otherwise, relying solely on the power of the night watchman, no matter how talented it is, it will not be able to do this.

Even though the memory is no longer there, the touch of the night watchman to the old man will only scare her, but the old man has always been deeply concerned about the old friend who seems to be floating around him all the time, and wants to see it again , listen to its voice......

Maybe after doing all this, the old man will really feel at ease?

The light in Ye Xun Ling's pupils was beating, it couldn't cry, but its body was trembling unceasingly.

It cried, and no longer maintained the silence it had kept for thousands of years in order not to frighten the old man. Its voice was hoarse, and it fell to the ground, one after another, as if vomiting its soul that had been mourning for thousands of years.

"Xiaozhi... is that his name?"

The old man sighed deeply, and a trace of unbearableness flashed in his calm as stagnant eyes.

Although she had forgotten everything, the mournful cry of the Night Watcher deeply stimulated her heart.

The lonely soul seemed to understand her final mission at this moment, she opened her mouth softly, pleading:

"Can you bring it to me?"

"...certainly."

Xiaozhi leaned down, gently hugged the Night Watcher in his arms, and then placed it in the trembling outstretched arms of the old man.

"I'm sorry, but can I trouble you to describe its appearance for me?"

The old man's body seemed to start to tremble, and his voice seemed vicissitudes and pain.

"Well...it's small, only about half a meter high...the whole body is spherical and dark, only the pupils are shining red, and there is a skull mask on the head, very cute."

"yes."

The old man's tone gradually returned to calm.

Her hands slowly caressed the night watchman's body. Although she couldn't touch it, she smiled and said:

"I can feel it...It's cold, but very warm..."

"DU!"

Hearing this, Ye Xunling finally couldn't restrain his emotions anymore, and floated on the old man's shoulder, and a black mist rose in response.

At least, at least let her be able to see her appearance clearly, absolutely not...

With this kind of obsession, the night watchman kept digging out the power in his body, but no matter how hard he tried, his illusion couldn't be attached to the old man.

No way, this is the rule.

To give a ghost its senses, it must be possessed by the night watchman, and no matter how hard it tries, it is impossible to break this rule.

"It's ok...you don't need to work any more...I already understand your intentions."

The old man's gentle tone kept breaking the night watchman's heart, it had never hated its own weakness so much.

"Oh." The old man let out a long sigh. "Those who leave first are cruel... They leave loneliness and sorrow to the survivors, and let them move forward with missions and responsibilities..."

"Although I can't remember clearly...but I can understand the pain...I'm sorry to make you continue to suffer like this..."

The old man's tone was trembling and blurred, and Xiaozhi noticed that the figure of the old man was beginning to dim at this moment. It seemed that it was finally time to say goodbye...

The soul that has lingered for thousands of years can finally sleep forever. Should this be a kind of relief for the old man?

The night watchman knew that he could no longer keep the old man behind, so he could only blame himself and fell to the ground, howling in the old man's disappearing figure.

"I'm sorry." The old man said this before leaving: "I made you suffer so much...Although I don't know whether such words are good or bad for you...But, I really hope that you can live happily in the future. "

The figure of the old man almost disappeared completely, and the night watchman also remembered the last words of the old man before he passed away.

Finally, there is—

"It's been so long, I've really worked hard on you...Mr. Ghost, thank you..."

The old man's voice echoed in the dark and narrow basement, leaving only Xiao Zhi and the night watchman watching her last journey in life under the light of the faint blue fire.

The predecessors have left, but the descendants can only carry their vision and force themselves to forget the sorrow and walk towards the future.
