"Sigh~~"

On Du Ming's shoulder, Gastly tilted his head and looked at Ji Xing in confusion.

"teacher!"

The young man behind Du Ming was furious. "How dare this guy..."

Du Ming glanced at it and ignored it.

"Xi Nong!"

Ji Xing glanced at the handwritten board of the young man behind them, and a smile reappeared on his expressionless face, and he teased:

"How come I didn't know you used to be a doctor?"

"I..." Xinong looked back at his own scribbled handwriting, his face flushed, feeling extremely embarrassed.

He said awkwardly: "Teacher, my handwriting should be easier to understand than the elf doctor's."

Ji Xing smiled kindly and said, "You go back to the camp and prepare lunch first, I'll be there soon. By the way, when you return to school this time, practice your calligraphy for me!"

"...Yes, teacher." Xinong was silent for half a second, looked at Du Ming deeply, bowed respectfully to Ji Xing, and walked out from the exit behind Professor Ji Xing.

"Hiss~~?"

Gastly was in Du Ming's air cage, staring at the magnifying glass in Ji Xing's hand with his eyes open, and tilted his head again.

Originally inside Du Ming's air cage, it kept bumping around, trying to escape.

But since it saw Ji Xing, it has become quiet.

On the other side, after Xinong left, Ji Xing closed his eyes and then opened them again.

“Even if my journey to knowledge ends hastily, and I have no place to rest, and my body turns to dust, I will have no regrets.”

Ji Xing sighed and said, "This is what I heard, brother... Professor Nagisa's last words were like he had a premonition that his life was about to end. He suddenly said these strange words to me."

He raised his head, his eyes burning: "Young man, have you seen my brother for the last time?"

This is the most likely possibility speculated by Ji Xing.

Du Ming hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, but his eyes moved to Gastly beside him.

Gastly was trapped in the air cage made by Du Ming. His big face moved forward and stared at Ji Xing, seeming to be thinking about something.

——Sure enough, even though old man Nagisaisei turned into Gastly, his body and memories no longer existed, but the emotional ties from the past still made him care about Jixing.

Gastly's lingering feelings for Ji Xing made him unusually quiet.

"really!"

Ji Xing asked anxiously with a fiery gaze, "I know he disappeared on the fourth floor underground, but I went to the fourth floor to look for him, and I couldn't find his... body. Excuse me, where did you see my brother? Where is his body? Where is it?"

Du Ming blinked lightly and shook his head.

"Those words were his last words that he asked me to convey to you. Just like his last words, his body will turn to dust."

“I see…”

Ji Xing suddenly seemed to be deflated, mumbling something, he took a deep breath and said:

"At least, please tell me when you last saw him, I..."

Du Ming glanced at Gastly, opened the air cage and let Gastly out.

"Hiss?" Gastly floated slowly, its eyes with only black dots scanning Ji Xing and the magnifying glass in his hand.

Without answering Ji Xing, Du Ming chuckled, pointed to the upper side of his right shoulder, and asked, "Have you ever considered raising a Gastly?"

"Ghost?"

Ji Xing looked up in surprise.

His eyes were always on Du Ming, and he didn't pay attention to Gastly until Du Ming spoke, then he looked over.

When he saw this, he somehow felt a sense of familiarity with Gastly.

Just, very weird.

"Yes."

Du Ming showed a strange smile: "One day, maybe this Gastly can come to you in a dream and tell you the day your brother died."

This smile made Ji Xing feel a chill instantly, as if a cold wind was blowing straight through his body.

In his eyes, Du Ming's figure suddenly disappeared somehow, and only Gastly's shadow remained in his eyes. Everything other than Gastly was covered with a layer of gray mist and could not be seen clearly.

“Gars…”

When Ji Xing regained his vision, he saw that Gastly actually floated over, stretched out its tongue and scratched his face hard. "Hiss hiss hiss~" With a laugh, Gastly turned into a gray mist and drilled into his brother's relic - the magnifying glass in his hand.

He looked around and found that the young man had completely disappeared, as if he had never been seen before.

Sweat dripped down his forehead, and his heart seemed to stop for a moment. Ji Xing forced a laugh:

"It's normal to have some strange things in random ruins."

At this moment, Gastly in the magnifying glass stretched his body, giggled, went around Ji Xing's back, and licked his neck.

"Hiss~~!" Ji Xing's back couldn't help but feel cold, his neck seemed to be touched by a cold ghost, and every hair on his head seemed to stand up due to the throbbing.

"Brother bless you, brother bless you!"

… …

Outside the casual ruins, Du Ming looked relaxed.

"Qi is a really good thing. It can not only change your aura according to your self-perception. After changing your aura, Qi can also give others a completely different perception."

Du Ming was taking a walk.

Just now, he tried a new way to use Qi.

He simulated his own aura to be weird, cold and mysterious like a ghost. Then, Professor Ji Xing's vision was affected by his own aura and he could not see him.

"but…"

Du Ming looked strange.

"I didn't expect that after Nagisa transformed into Gastly, she was still so enthusiastic... She licked her brother's face and neck. Hiss~~ Too strong!"

Shaking his head, Du Ming took out his otherworldly ball, in which Jirachi was sleeping.

"Thankfully, I have gained the power of the unknown totem. Jirachi's third eye is no longer at risk of necrosis, but..."

Du Ming frowned.

"The connection between Jirachi's body and the third eye is still disconnected. So, we must go find Zhulan and ask her to help check the situation."

He pulled himself together.

He quickly returned to Zhuqing City and called Ye Zi who was at the Oak Research Institute, telling her that he was about to go to the Carlos area.

After receiving the news that Ye Zi was also preparing to come, Du Ming unexpectedly heard other news.

… …

"Huh? Uncle Tiexuan, are you planning to go to Carlos too?"

Sitting in the coffee shop, Du Ming received unexpected news from Tie Xuan.

"Haha, I want to challenge the world championship with this guy!"

Tiexuan laughed and patted Zapdos's Poké Ball. The patting sound was so loud that Du Ming could even hear the Zapdos in the Poké Ball complaining and crying in dissatisfaction as it wanted to come out to peck at Tiexuan.

"Brother Du Ming, we are on the same route, why don't we take my private plane?"

Pretending not to hear the Zapdos's cry, Du Ming smiled and nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you again, uncle."

Tiexuan waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "It's not a bother at all, not a bother at all. However, we will have a good show to watch when we go to Carlos this time."

"A good show?"

"Correct!"

Tiexuan said mysteriously:

"Not many people know about this yet, but I have reliable information that the five champions, Daigo, Dantei, Adu, Zhulan, and Kaluni, are either already in Kalos or on their way to Kalos. Just tell me, with so many champions gathered together, if there isn't one, two, or several big battles, how can that be justified?

"This time when we go to Carlos, there will be a lot of fun to watch."

"Champion...Carlos..."

Du Ming raised his eyebrows and became interested.
