"Senior, good evening, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

"The police team has already searched most of Xishan based on the clues provided by the villagers, and will soon focus on Beishan."

"I heard from the villagers that you are a highly respected stonemason in Yushi Town, and you must be very familiar with the terrain and environment of Beishan. We would like to ask you, do the so-called 'mountain gods' really exist in Beishan? Are those ghost-type Pokémon Very aggressive?"

As Lu Yi finished speaking, the iron-skinned native who was adding hot water to the three-person cup was obviously stunned and looked at the old stonemason in surprise.

It obviously knew something, Lu Yi saw its reaction.

The old mason sitting opposite frowned and seemed to be trying hard to recall the past, but he still didn't speak.

Seeing this, the iron-skinned native sighed helplessly.

"Hmm, ugh."

"It says that the old man may not remember clearly, let him explain. Lotto."

The mobile phone Rotom flew out at the right time and floated between Lu Yi and the two senior police officers.

The Iron Man began his description.

"First of all, it said that it was a Pokémon born in the North Mountain. Later, it met Mr. Stonemason in his youth and became his partner and companion all the way to today."

"In its memory, there is no real 'god' in Beishan, there is only a 'forbidden zone' that neither humans nor Pokémon dare to set foot in easily."

"This restricted area was formed about seventy or eighty years ago, when it and Mr. Stonemason were still children, and a terrible incident occurred in Yushi Town. - A gang of tomb robbers came here by boat from outside and targeted Beishan. Graveyard.”

"That group of people bypassed the gravesites of the villagers' relatives and climbed to a very high, far, and remote place. I heard from the elders that those people seemed to have discovered the existence of a large amount of gold jewelry through detection equipment."

"In comparison, the villagers' cemeteries are too simple and there is nothing to dig out at all. Some old people who know more about history said that a kingdom once appeared in Yushi Town, and those gold and jewelry must have been the burial objects of the royal family and nobles. .”

"So some daring villagers secretly followed the tomb robbers up the mountain. After all, they are the indigenous people here and are very familiar with the surrounding terrain. The outsiders did not realize that they were being followed."

"However, something shocking happened. The villagers who followed up the mountain ran back to the village like crazy as if they had seen some monster! They didn't dare to go out for many days!"

"And those tomb robbers just disappeared from the world, and no one has seen them again."

"Since then, there has been a legend about the 'Mountain God' in the town. It is guessed that this is a lie made up by the elders to protect their children. It also expresses the awe of the residents of Yushi Town towards those terrifying existences. .”

"After the incident, the village collected a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, saying that they would be dedicated to the mountain god in exchange for its protection."

"This is also the reason why Yushi Town is getting poorer and poorer. After all the hardships of the villagers, every household has lost its livelihood and the economic situation has been set back for at least several decades."

"Later, when he went up the mountain with the masons to carve inscriptions, he also found his ancestors and asked about the tomb robbers. The iron-bone natives told him that ancient kings were buried on the top of Beishan, and the surroundings seemed to be There are very terrifying beings inhabiting it.”

"Those guys won't do anything to Pokémon. At most, they'll beat you up and throw you down the mountain far away. But they may not treat humans the same way."

"The seniors said that on the day of the incident, they heard humans calling for help, but those voices soon became very weak, as if someone had covered their mouths!"

"It didn't take long for the voices of these people to disappear completely, and a trembling wind blew up throughout the valley!"

"Since then, the area near the top of Beishan Mountain has become a restricted area for villagers and elves. Including those ghost-type Pokémon that attack humans, they actually reached a consensus with the ancestors of Yushi Town to try to keep ignorant people who try to climb the mountain away. Scared them back! Protecting their safety in disguise!"

"That's the truth about mountain gods and Pokémon attacking humans, Lotto."

After describing these ancient events, the iron-skinned native looked at each other and Mr. Stonemason, who nodded slowly, thinking that the story was very complete.

After hearing what Rotom translated, Lu Yi and the two police officers were greatly shocked and agreed that this matter was not simple!

If those two boys really ran into the Beishan restricted area, the consequences would be absolutely disastrous!

The existence on the top of the mountain can be easily destroyed even by tomb robbers, so how can two children provoke it?

However, among this possibility, there is still a more critical issue.

Even if those two naughty kids wanted to explore the restricted area, why did they choose to do it at night instead of during the day?

"Senior, I still don't know something." Lu Yi asked humbly.

"Senior Tieguren also said just now that those ghost-type Pokémon have reached a consensus with the ancestors of Yushi Town and will actively scare away people who try to climb the mountain."

"In that case, would the two children still choose to climb the mountain at night? Shouldn't they have been driven back by the elves long ago?"

Hearing this, Mr. Mason was silent for a moment. His ears really didn't work very well, and he thought carefully for a while before he understood the entire content of Lu Yi's question.

"So, it is more likely that the two little guys are still in Xishan. If Beishan is really so easy to get to, we villagers would have reported it to the police."

After hearing the old man's reply, Lu Yi and the other three looked at each other and felt that there was nothing wrong with what they said.

However, in line with the principle of "never letting go of any possibility" in handling cases, Lu Yi and the two police officers were still prepared to pay attention to this clue.

So they bid farewell to the old stonemason and hurried to the foot of the west side of the mountain, waiting to meet up with their colleagues who had finished their search work.

Not long after, they saw the commander with a solemn face.

I saw him breathing heavily from exhaustion. Continuously climbing the mountains was really a very physically demanding task, especially since everyone was still awake.

"There is indeed no trace of the children in Xishan. The situation is gradually becoming serious. Children will not last long in this kind of weather."

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Yi and the two police officers.

"How is the situation over there? Are there any important clues about Beishan?"

Hearing this, the police officers nodded and asked Lu Yi to explain the specific situation to the commander.

So Lu Yi told the commander about the legend about the mountain god, the reason why ghost-type Pokémon attacked humans, the situation of the cemetery on Beishan Mountain, and the vicious events that had happened that year, which immediately made the latter's pupils shrink in shock!

He thought carefully for a long time, and then shouted an order to everyone!

"Everyone, follow me to the top of Beishan Mountain immediately! The children are likely to be in danger there!"

As soon as the words fell, all 20 police officers, including Lu Yi, immediately took action. They didn't know how the commander deduced it, but they actually skipped the "mountain search" link and aimed directly at the top of the mountain!

On the way, Lu expressed his doubts to the commander while running.

"Sir, how did you come to this conclusion? When the two boys left the village, it was already dark. They would definitely be discovered by ghost-type Pokémon during the mountain climbing! How could their two 10-year-old children Get rid of the elves and reach the top of the mountain??”

Hearing this, Mr. Commander glanced at Lu Yi solemnly.

"Boy, you have too little experience and have not fully considered many situations. Remember, when we are reasoning about the case, we must not completely follow the testimony of the witness!"

"On the surface, it seems that the two boys cannot reach the top of Beishan no matter what, but what if some additional factors are added?"

"Think about it, why do they rush to climb the mountain in the evening?"

Lu Yi blinked when he heard the commander's rhetorical question.

"Are you deliberately waiting for the ghost-type Pokémon to come out?"

"That's right!" The commander nodded, "This possibility is very high!"

"Let me ask you again, if you were asked to avoid those ghost-type Pokémon while climbing a mountain, what would you do?"

"This..." Lu Yi frowned and thought seriously.

"Perhaps I need to use the spiritual power of Pokémon to block other elves' perception of me with telepathic barriers; or simply establish a good relationship with the local ghost-type Pokémon and let them let them go, or even lead the way directly!"

After hearing Lu Yi's reply, the commander nodded with great approval.

"Yes, you are right, I will do the same thing."

"So let me ask you one last question. Can you guarantee that the two boys who disappeared in this incident are the only two boys?"

Hearing this, Lu Yi was stunned.

This was something he had never considered before, and he was greatly shocked by Mr. Commander’s analytical perspective!

"I seem to understand!" Lu Yi's eyes lit up, and his thoughts suddenly opened up!

"The reason why those two boys left the village after 6 o'clock in the evening was to meet the ghost-type Pokémon! There is a high probability that they are their playmates!"

"And in this incident, they were not the only 'naughty kids' who dared to set foot in the restricted area of ​​​​Beishan! There may also be curious ghost-type Pokémon involved! It may even be these elves who led them to avoid the clan members. View!”

"Oh my God! Everything seems to be explained!"
