I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"Brother~ wake up~"

"So~ra~"

Li Ran's originally relaxed brows wrinkled into a frown. The Gardevoir in his dream now had a dark face, as if asking for his love.

He reached out and strangled him by the neck.

"Ahem, no!"

Feeling suffocated, he suddenly woke up, subconsciously reached out to touch his neck, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, everything is fine...

Beside the bed, Yanyan and Gardevoir smiled at him sullenly. Li Ran looked them up and down and asked suspiciously.

"Why are you two dressed up like this? Do you want candy if you pretend to be ghosts?"

At this time, Yanyan's face was smeared with blood-like makeup, and she was wearing tattered clothes with a knife stuck in the clothes.

Gardevoir looked passable, with only a few bloodstains on her skirt and the iron-blue paint on her face, which made her look a bit like something out of a dream.

"Brother, don't you remember that today is Ghost Festival?"

Yanyan's excitement instantly wilted, and she spoke listlessly.

"Ghost Festival? There is such a festival? Are you sure it's not Halloween..."

Li Ran was stunned. It wasn't that he had any doubts about this festival, but he felt the name was weird.

There was a festival called Ghost Festival in previous lives, but it was not called the Ghost Festival. Instead, it was called the Zhongyuan Festival.

"What Halloween? Is there such a holiday?"

Yanyan showed a very puzzled look. Li Ran said no more, got up from the bed and walked towards the direction of the elf calendar hanging on the wall.

April 7th.

The word "Ghost Festival" was clearly written below the date!

"Really? Then what are you doing dressed like this?"

Yanyan pursed her lips. She was now certain of one thing: Li Ran had no idea about the customs and traditions of Ghost Festival.

"On Ghost Festival, everyone will dress like this and pretend to be ghosts. Only by dressing up as ghosts can we be dragged into the ghost zone that only opens once a year. This way, we will have a chance to encounter ghost-type elves that we can't see on weekdays!"

After hearing Yanyan's explanation, Li Ran suddenly realized something. I was wondering why I never encounter elves like Gastly. It turns out that these guys basically gather in the ghost realm, right?

Then he called Hong Pang directly to ask about the details of the ghost realm. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Yanyan deeply.

"Your brother Hong Pang said that 40% of the people who came out of the ghost realm were frightened to the point of insanity... Hurry and change these clothes for me!"

"I do not want!"

After saying that, Yanyan stuck out her tongue, fearing that Li Ran would remove the makeup that she had worked so hard for half an hour to put on, so she quickly ran out of the room.

"This girl..."

Although the mentally ill people that Hong Pang mentioned were the group of novice trainers who had no fighting ability, it was unlikely that they would be in any danger with Yanyan's Gyarados and Hunting Swallowtail.

"But just in case... Zhenyifa, please follow Yanyan secretly today. After today, I will make a special dessert for you."

"Got it, humans are trouble!"

The flapping wings passed through the ceiling and disappeared into the floor, but there was still some anticipation on its face. It had eaten a lot of delicious desserts these days, and its taste had obviously become much more picky due to Li Ran.

"It just so happens that I also want to catch a Gengar, so I'll ask Auntie to help me prepare a makeup."

Li Ran then grinned, ran down quickly, and put on some zombie makeup.

"Hong Pang said that the ghost domain randomly pulls people in, and each person appears in a different location in the ghost domain. After the Ghost Festival, they will be automatically kicked out of the ghost domain."

So Li Ran walked directly to the street. Maybe because of the Ghost Festival, there were more people on the street on this day than usual, and they were all wearing strange costumes. Li Ran felt that this festival was a bit like going to a comic convention in his previous life.

Some of them with excitement and fear on their faces are the novice trainers mentioned by Hong Pang. The way to capture ghost-type Pokémon often has little to do with combat. Most of them need to endure the Pokémon's pranks and gain the other party's recognition before they can come into contact with the other party's entity.

Moreover, the cost of raising ghost-type Pokémon is relatively low, which is affordable for most trainers.

This is why novice trainers also have to take risks.

"Yan Yan, remember to follow me closely..."

Li Ran saw that the flow of people on the street was becoming increasingly dense, and subconsciously turned around to find that Yanyan, who was following him, was gone.

"Hmm? Where's Yanyan?"

Gardevoir spread his hands. Just when Li Ran was thinking about something, a black ability hole suddenly appeared under Yanyan's feet and she fell down without even having the chance to speak.

Only Zhenyifa immediately followed...

An old man passing by on the road smacked his lips with envy.

"With such a powerful ghost-type elf around, the probability of entering the ghost realm is high!"

Hearing his sigh, the corners of Li Ran's mouth twitched suddenly. It turned out that Zhen Yifa was dragged into the ghost realm because he followed Yanyan!

"In that case, come out, Ghost of the Light!"

After understanding the mechanism of the ghost realm, Li Ran also released the ghost of light.

The appearance of the ghost of light instantly caused the temperature around to drop by five degrees, and everyone around couldn't help but rub their arms.

"Although the strength of Lantern Ghost is not as good as Winged Hair, it is still one of the worst rated ghosts."

As soon as Li Ran finished speaking, Gardevoir screamed.

A faint ghost hand appeared in the air behind Li Ran, grabbed the back of Li Ran's collar and lifted him into the ghost realm.

The whole process takes less than two seconds.

Gardevoir also immediately went back into the ball, leaving behind only the confused ghost of light floating there.

"whisper?"

Brother Bush, what do you mean by not taking me with you?

Just as the light ghost was cursing on the spot, a ghost hand stretched out from below it and pulled it down.

The process of being dragged into the ghost realm was like riding a roller coaster. When he landed on flat ground, Li Ran almost didn't eat his breakfast.

He held up his dizzy head with his hands and looked around.

I can't see my fingers, I can't see anything.

"whisper!"

After a scream, Li Ran's body sank and he fell to the ground.

"Light Ghost, you can fly, but you can't control your falling speed???"

After Li Ran saw clearly the identity of the person who smashed his things, he also complained, and then caught the ghost of the light. With the light of the ghost of the light, he knew where he appeared randomly.

This is a building, or more precisely, an abandoned haunted house.

After all, on the cold operating table beneath him, there was a prop corpse that he had crushed. Based on the surroundings, he vaguely recognized that this was probably a haunted house.

"Could it be that the ghost realm is somewhere in the spirit world?"
