Eye of Darkness

The dark space is silent and eerie. From time to time, the wind howls coldly, and from time to time, you can hear the whirring sound of the wind flowing through the gravel holes.

Walking on the uneven stone road, Yan Ming held the flashlight he asked Sister Mizui to find, but his eyes occasionally glanced at Glitter Ghost beside him, who was still sluggish but still leading the way.

"Flash Ghost, are you okay? Do you want to take a rest?"

When Glitter Ghost heard Yan Ming's words, his reaction was half a beat slower, and he dealt with it a little absent-mindedly.

"fine."

As Glitter Ghost's words disappeared from Yan Ming's mind, the surroundings fell into a strange silence.

The endless darkness was boundless, and a beam of light illuminated the only direction. Yan Ming silently followed behind Flash Ghost. Feeling such a depressing atmosphere, Yan Ming couldn't help but sigh.

The pace quickened, and Yan Ming walked quickly to Glitter Ghost. He did not look at Glitter Ghost, but seemed to be talking to himself, looking at the small patch of ground in front of him that was only illuminated by a beam of light. .

"Habits are really scary, aren't they... Since I was very young, I have been living alone, cooking alone, washing clothes alone, and feeling the empty home alone. Compared to my peers, The laughter and laughter were carefree, and what I needed to know and do was much more, so much that I had to give up everything I should have.”

Yan Ming lowered his eyes and sighed slightly.

"Actually, when I was in school, I really didn't want to be able to get out of school. Every time I looked at the huge crowds of people at the school gate, I thought that among so many people, no one was waiting for myself. I felt really disappointed. Oops, every time I pass through the crowd, the mother’s concern for her child, and the father’s fight with his child, this scene is played out in front of me every day.”

Yan Ming looked at the dark environment in front of him, recalling the feelings he once longed for, and chuckled lightly.

"My mother also loves me, but... I can't express it concretely. I once felt that my mother didn't care about me, and I even resented her for it. But as I grew older, I discovered my mother's helplessness, and I also realized that my mother was helpless. From that time on, as long as I knew that my mother still loved me and that I was still cared about, that was enough. I was used to the life in the past, but once even this last ray of light disappeared, then I, who had seen the light, , are you still willing to get used to the darkness?"

After saying that, Yan Ming stopped, turned to look at Glitter Ghost and said seriously.

"Flash Ghost, I can actually understand your mood."

"Although my experience is different from yours, we do have the same desire for care."

After saying that, without waiting for Glitter Ghost's reply, he started talking again.

"I can't comfort you, because even now, in my heart, I still long for my mother's company, but I can't change anything, I... can't do anything... I still remember what my mother said, In the lonely dark night, in the boundless world, there will always be a glimmer of light refracting for you, allowing you to slowly let go of the shadows of the past."

"At that time, I still couldn't understand why my mother would still believe such words when the terrible situation was right in front of me. I always thought that my mother was comforting me."

Yan Ming said as he held the elf ball containing Kati Dog in his hand. Looking at the elf ball, Yan Ming's eyes softened.

"Until I met Kati Dog... Before I met him, I always thought that I would continue to walk alone. However, Kati Dog's appearance gave me a family worth caring about."

After saying that, Yan Ming looked at the silent Flash Guisi.

"Flash Ghost, I am not saying this to hope that you will forget this parting and the past, but I want to tell you that you can look forward to the future. Sister Mizui hopes that you can understand the bond she has experienced. That is because she does not I hope my departure will be a knot in your heart."

Looking at Flash Guisi who was still thinking, Yan Ming no longer cared about what Flash Guisi would do next. He had said all that needed to be said, and the rest depended on Flash Guisi's own thoughts, and for Flash Guisi What Si said was not Yan Ming's advice to him.

Yan Ming could never forget the scene when his mother died in front of him. After the time travel happened, Yan Ming sometimes thought about it in his heart and tried his best to find a way to return to the original world and resurrect his mother.

Even if it was a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, even if there was only a slight possibility, Yan Ming was willing to resurrect his mother. In those few years, without his mother's guidance, he would have committed suicide long ago.

But during this period of time, Yan Ming had to think about it, if it were possible, would his mother really want to be resurrected?Thinking of his mother's peaceful face when she died, Yan Ming couldn't help but fall silent.

After resurrection, is the mother really willing to inherit the memories of the past?

In the final analysis, it is Yan Ming's own obsession. He wants his mother to live with him. As usual, Yan Ming longs for his mother's company. Or to put it more selfishly, what Yan Ming prays for is his mother's love and love for him. care, so as to tell himself that he is still cared about by others.

The reason why Yan Ming is gradually relieved is that after meeting Kati Dog, Yan Ming figured out why he still indulged in this world since he came to this world, started a new life, and met new family and friends. Don't look at the past as before.

Yan Ming pursed his lips. Although Yan Ming knew it clearly, deep down in his heart, his mother was still a deeply hidden memory in his heart.

Without thinking any more, Yan Ming patted his cheek to cheer himself up, and headed to the ghost community with Glitter Ghost, who seemed to be improving.

The route of the cave extends in all directions, and the surrounding area is completely dark except for the unchanging rock environment.

Following the Glitter Ghosts to the Ghost Community, Yan Ming could roughly estimate based on his feelings that he walked down three downward slopes and changed directions 26 times, and walked for about two hours in total.

At the same time, Yan Ming was also thinking in his mind.

This cave is so big and covers such a wide area, it's impossible for Team Rocket to not know that such an area exists.

According to what Glitter Ghost and Sister Mizui said, they have lived here for a long time, but they have only seen themselves as humans, which means that Team Rocket has never discovered them from beginning to end, but those captains have no idea about this place. The division of areas happens to be on the surface of the cave.

If Team Rocket had come down to look for them, it would be impossible for Miss Lips and Glitter Ghost to miss anyone.

Judging from the intelligence, this is the territory of the Viper Instructor. Even the captains who are out there know it well. How could he not know about his territory? Then how could he not come to look for it? You know, although the top-level Dark Stone needs to be designated Some elves use it, but that doesn't change its value.

And more importantly, if they didn't come down, why would they know that there was a top-level dark stone in this mountain area?

What caused the Viper Instructor to stop sending people to search, and why, for so many years, no captain has coveted the top-level Dark Stone, but in this trial, so many people are looking for it?

With Guan thinking this, Yan Ming's evaluation of this trial was not simple, and his original thoughts of coveting the top-level Dark Stone disappeared a lot.

Now it is better to help Glitter Ghost solve it quickly, and then let Glitter Ghost take him out. Sister Mizui told him that there seemed to be many exits, and he had been delayed down here for long enough.

While Yan Ming was thinking, Flash Ghost interrupted Yan Ming's thinking.

"Yan Ming, the group has arrived."

arrive?

Upon hearing this, Yan Ming shined the light of the flashlight in the direction that Flash Ghost was facing, and just by shining the light, Yan Ming's pupils shrank.

Because in front of Yan Ming was an extremely empty space, and in front of him were two rows of stone pillars carved with strange patterns.

Surrounded by two rows of white stone pillars, a pale, tall but simple building stands alone not far away. It has a pointed tile roof and tall grooved columns, similar to ancient Greek temple buildings.

Marveled at this magnificent building, Yan Ming saw the shining ghost floating towards the temple without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Yan Ming hurriedly followed. Along the way, with the illumination of Yan Ming's lights, Yan Ming roughly guessed that the road to the temple was about 30 meters away from the square.

As soon as he got close to the temple building, he discovered that the marble walls of the temple were covered with large and small cracks that seemed to be due to their age. Yan Ming even wondered whether the building would be destroyed by just a slight touch. It's going to collapse.

"Flash Ghost, is your ghost colony here?"

Yan Ming asked with some confusion.

"Well Yan Ming, it's in this building."

In the building?

Yan Ming followed Glitter Ghost into the slightly open three-meter-high door with some curiosity.

Yan Ming noticed that there was a strange sign on the gate.

The center of the logo is a dot, with the dot as the center forming a fan-shaped pattern on both sides, connecting the outer ring with four straight lines extending to all four sides.

"This pattern is..."

Putting his hand on the pattern of the door, Yan Ming felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

From Yan Ming's point of view, not long after he came to this world, he wandered around the three acres of Trial Island. What he could remember was what he had seen before traveling through his previous life.

According to Yan Ming's thinking, the patterns in Pokémon that can be remembered by oneself must appear in a large number of Pokémon.

Either it's a big event, or it's a villain or a mythical beast in the theatrical version, etc.

"It seems that something extraordinary has been discovered..."

Yan Ming murmured, now Yan Ming is starting to get interested, no matter what it is about, for Yan Ming now, it will be his need to understand the world.

Continuing to follow Flash Ghost into the temple, Yan Ming saw the ruins and some strange machines everywhere in the temple through the light of his flashlight.

Yan Ming's eyes narrowed.

Has anyone been here? !

He quickly stepped forward to inspect the machine and took a quick look. Just as he was about to take a closer look, he suddenly smelled a faint smell of apples.

gas!

His heart skipped a beat, and Yan Ming hurriedly moved away from the machines. At this moment, a rustling sound came, and strange purple air masses suddenly appeared around him. Looking carefully, he found that they were a group of Guis is looking at himself.
