Pokémon: What should I do? My father-in-law always wants to tear me apart

Sure enough, several people searched the oil lamp carefully and were surprised to find that the lamp was not an open flame burning with oil, but a small light bulb.

After opening the light bulb, there was a folded yellowed paper inside, with a few unclear words written on it:

[When you encounter a fork in the road, choose one of three options, choose the middle one]

Is this a clue? If you come to three forks in the road, do you choose the middle one?

Seeing that Wandering Night Spirit was hiding in the corner without making a sound, Lin Yi knew that there were no other clues here, so he put the clue in his pocket.

After watching them leave, Wandering Ye Ling carefully poked his head out and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Lin Yi had left.

It took out another identical piece of paper from the corner, folded it and stuffed it into the light bulb, put the oil lamp back to its original place, and hid itself in the dark shadow again.

The human just now was definitely an accident. Under normal circumstances, anyone who was suddenly attacked by a ghost in such a gloomy and spooky environment would be scared to death!

Wandering Night Spirit silently cheered himself up in his heart, and then quietly waited for the next group of guests to walk into this place.

When they stepped in here without any preparation, the Wandering Night Spirit jumped up without hesitation and rushed out as quickly as a ghost.

"scare--"

……

“Wa ...

As a scream sounded, the atmosphere around them suddenly became extremely tense.

However, the next scene surprised everyone.

Lin Yi looked expressionlessly at the enchanting eyes that suddenly jumped in front of him, with their eyes flashing a strange red light and trying their best to look terrifying. He turned his head to look at the few people hiding behind him, who were already scared out of their wits and their faces were as pale as paper, and sighed helplessly.

"call!"

Lin Yi suddenly stomped his foot forward with great force, making a loud noise.

This sudden action scared the Soul-Catching Eye so much that it turned around and ran away in panic, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Okay, it's okay."

After making sure that the Soul-Snatching Eyes would not come back, Lin Yi softly comforted those who were still in a state of panic.

At this moment, Mi Yu stared at Lin Yi blankly with a complicated expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

Her gaze rested on Lin Yi's face, which was smiling gently and comforting others in a low voice, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

Under the dim light, Lin Yi walked cautiously, his body occasionally bumping into the walls on both sides.

This narrow corridor looks extremely gloomy and frightening.

After walking for about a minute, we finally came to a fork in the road.

As the clue says, there are really three paths to choose from here.

Lin Yi stood at the fork in the road, lost in thought. At this moment, a sharp scream suddenly came.

"what!!"

Lin Yi sighed inwardly. He knew without thinking that the three girls and the 1.9-meter-tall man must have been frightened by the ghost-type Pokémon that appeared out of nowhere.

He raised his head and saw a terrifying tree with a hideous human face on the ceiling above the fork in the road.

The branches of the big tree seemed to have life, making crackling sounds and swinging in the air, as if they were about to pounce on them.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, calmed himself, and prepared to comfort everyone.

"Don't worry, it's just a rotten wood monster..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He quickly turned his head and was surprised to find that there was no one around him.

The few people who were around just now had already run away screaming in panic, and no one knew where they had gone.

The corner of Lin Yi's mouth twitched. He closed his eyes helplessly and glared at the rotten wood demon fiercely.

The rotten wood demon seemed to feel his gaze and stood there quietly without any reaction.

Although the rotten wood demon looks calm and steady at this moment, it is actually extremely frightened deep down in its heart and is terrified.

What the hell is going on?

Logically speaking, shouldn't this human being in front of him be terrified and run away in panic, just like his companions?

But why didn't he run away, but instead stared at him viciously?

Oh my god, his eyes are so scary, they can scare away ghosts!

What should I do now? It's not a good idea for him to keep staring at me like this!

"You caused me to be separated from my companions."

The rotten wood demon did not respond after hearing this.

"..."

Seeing that the other party had no reaction, Lin Yi continued:

"You have to tell me where they went."

The rotten wood demon remained silent.

"Otherwise I will report you to your boss and have your boss deduct your salary!"

Hearing the three words "deduction of wages", the rotten wood demon finally couldn't sit still anymore and could no longer remain calm as before.

You know, it works hard hanging on the ceiling to scare people every day, just to earn a few more energy blocks.

If you receive complaints and bad reviews from customers, you may not be able to eat delicious snacks for the whole month, let alone this week.

After a brief silence, the rotten wood demon finally chose to compromise.

"Yeah, you're right. The tall man did run towards the middle road. As for the other three girls, one ran into the left road, and the other two ran into the right road."

The rotten wood demon nodded honestly and cautiously, fearing that Lin Yi would report it if he was unhappy.

If it was really reported, a lot of its food rations would definitely be deducted, and it would have no place to cry.

"Tsk, this is really troublesome..."

Lin Yi shook his head and thought to himself:

"If the clues are correct, then Xia Menghui who escaped from the middle road should have successfully escaped from the haunted house. We don't have to worry about her safety for the time being."

What? You ask: "What if the clue is wrong? And the middle road is even more terrifying?"

Lin Yi could only say seriously: "Then we can only say that the other party did a great job!"

After thinking for a moment, he finally decided to find the other people who stayed in the haunted house first.

First, you need to go to the road on the left and find the girl who is acting alone and whose identity is unknown.

After all, being alone in a haunted house like this is definitely not a pleasant experience.

Just imagine that you are lost from your companions and are in a completely unfamiliar and dark environment, with only yourself around. Unless you have extremely strong mental qualities, I am afraid that not many people can withstand such a situation.

What's more, those three girls were not very courageous to begin with, and this experience might leave them with psychological trauma.

At this moment, Lin Yi finally understood why he had to sign the waiver agreement before entering the haunted house.

The two girls on the right can at least take care of each other and slow down the situation temporarily.

There is only one person on the left, and we have to find him quickly to avoid trouble.

Having made up his mind, Lin Yi turned and walked towards the path on the left.
