Digimon Journey in the Spirit World

Chapter 168 Searching for the "Dead" Ms. Wusi

"But... isn't Ms. Wusi already dead? Why are you asking her?"

The doctor was a little puzzled. Ms. Wusi was not a particularly famous person, and she had been dead for many years. How did Xiaoguang hear this name?

"what?"

The doctor was puzzled, and Xiaoguang was even more confused.

Ms. Wu Si passed away a long time ago, so who was the one I saw today?

Ghost?

Xiaoguang couldn't help but shudder when he thought of such a strange thing.

But Team Leader Bai Yi was there that day. With his strength, he should be able to tell the difference between the living and the undead.

The more Xiaoguang thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he scratched his head, so he could only turn to the doctor for help.

"Well, Doctor, do you know any information about Miss Wusi? For example, where she lives... where she is buried?"

Xiaoguang still felt that he saw a living person. What's more, Team Leader Bai Yi still needed his help. No matter what the other party's current condition was, he had to go find him.

"Um……"

The doctor groaned, then turned around and resumed his search.

Time passed by little by little, just like the sweat that kept coming out of Xiaoguang's forehead.

"Doctor...um...how about we stop looking for him?"

Xiaoguang looked out the window. The sunlight coming in had already become dim. If he waited any longer, the full moon would probably replace the bright sun. Would it still be too late by then?

"Found it!"

The doctor pulled out a piece of paper from a tattered book. The paper was so thin that it was almost translucent. Xiaoguang wondered if it would tear and rot by the time he handed it to him.

"This is a Xicui map from a long time ago, obtained from the Kongo Team. It records a place like this. Someone once saw Ms. Wusi living in seclusion there."

The doctor held the map carefully and showed it to Xiaoguang from a distance, fearing that Xiaoguang would blow the map apart with one breath.

"..."

Xiao Guang stretched his neck to look, and compared it with the current Xi Cui in his mind. After staring for a long time, he came to a conclusion...

"Isn't this where we're going today?!"

"Ah? You went here today. Did you see any special items? For example, the handwriting left by Ms. Wusi?"

Xiaoguang was speechless and collapsed, while the doctor was curious and wanted to know more.

After going around in circles, Xiaoguang's goal returned to the place where he and Baiqi Wangluo originally went.

"Handwriting... No, and now I'm afraid there are no traces of it..."

Xiaoguang heard various loud noises and energy fluctuations coming from behind him after he left. To put it bluntly, Wusi's house has probably merged with the earth.

"Oh... that's a pity. It would be better if we could collect more information."

The doctor seemed a little regretful, as completing the information about the ancients was also part of his interest and research.

"Ms. Wusi's poems are still so beautiful and full of deep sadness. What happened to her that made her write such words?"

The doctor was holding a collection of Wu Si's poems collected and compiled by later generations, and his body swayed slightly as he flipped through it.

"Eh? Speaking of Ms. Wusi, I remember... she once had an extremely powerful Pokémon, which was said to be honored as a god by the ancients. It seems to be living in..."

The doctor suddenly remembered a clue and turned around to tell Xiaoguang, but found that there was no one behind him.

"Are you so anxious?"

The doctor scratched his head through his hat, spread his hands indifferently, turned around and continued to devote himself to his experiment.

"..."

Walking on the streets of the village, Xiaoguang lowered his head and felt a little irritable.

"Team Leader Bai Yi hasn't returned to the village yet, so I guess nothing will happen..."

"The fight must have ended, and Team Leader Bai Yu had something else to do so he didn't come back..."

"Or is it that Team Leader Bai Yi is injured? Where is he receiving treatment now..."

Xiaoguang murmured in a low voice. He was imagining Bai Yi's current whereabouts. At the same time, he was also finding excuses for himself, trying to hypnotize himself that Bai Yi was fine.

But the more he thought about it, the more irritated Xiaoguang became. His steps started to become unsteady and his vision was no longer focused. In a daze, Xiaoguang didn't even know where he was.

"what!"

A crisp sound was heard, and Xiaoguang squatted on the ground, covering his forehead in pain, and tears flowed out.

"It hurts like hell."

After covering himself for a long time, Xiaoguang finally managed to get out of the pain. He looked up and found that he had walked into an alley without knowing when, and there was a solid wall in front of him.

"Huh? Where is this?"

At first Xiaoguang thought he had walked into a small alley next to a store, but the more he looked around, the more he felt something was wrong.

How come the other end of the alley leads to a forest?

“When did this kind of building appear in the village?”

Xiaoguang looked around in confusion, and walked out step by step by feeling the wall. This alley, which was only about ten meters long, gave Xiaoguang the feeling that it had no end.

"Why am I... still here?"

After walking for a while, the exit was clearly in front of him, but Xiaoguang found that no matter he walked or ran, he could not get close to the exit. Instead, the alley wall that seemed to be dozens or hundreds of meters away could be returned to the wall by turning around and taking two steps.

"?!"

"This kind of wall... doesn't look like a village... I'm..."

At this point, Xiaoguang's violently beating heart gradually calmed down and his brain started working quickly.

"Have I been transferred? Or...is this an illusion?"

There is no exit at the end, but the wall can be reached by turning around and taking a step. Xiaoguang would never believe that there is no trick.

only……

"Who is so boring..."

Xiaoguang was already feeling a little sad, and now this happened, he immediately felt weak, and slid to the ground against the wall with a sigh.

"Huh? What is this?"

People always say that there is always a way out.

When Xiaoguang sat down, he saw something he had never seen before.

At the bottom of the walls on both sides, there is a very faint arrow pointing forward.

Xiaoguang's spirits suddenly lifted, and he immediately walked forward while feeling the wall.

Xiao Guang felt his way along the wall, lowering his head as he took a step, carefully examining the arrow that was so shallow that it was almost invisible.

I don’t know how long it took. Walking while squatting is not as fast as walking while standing up. Xiaoguang estimated that he walked for about three to five minutes.

When I looked down again, the arrow had disappeared and the wall had come to an end.

Looking up, what I saw was no longer the village street, but a dense and gloomy forest!

Standing at the entrance of the alley, Xiaoguang looked back and saw that the alley was indeed only about ten meters long and its appearance had never changed.

The location where I was was like a dividing line, separating the alley from the forest.

Xiaoguang took two steps and found that the walls of the alley were very thick, extending to an invisible distance on both sides, and the same was true for the forest.

"so……"

Xiaoguang lowered his head, stroking his chin, looking at the alley on the left and the forest on the right.

"Is there any difference between this arrow instruction and me walking out by myself?! Don't we just walk straight? Or do I have to walk crouching to get out?"

"Who is so boring?"
