Pokémon: From Magikarp

The night in the Misty Village is a little different. The thick fog that dissipated under the sun during the day gradually spread again after the sun sets, covering the entire village again.

Looking at the thick fog in front of him, Lin Shi frowned. With such a dense fog, not to mention ghosts, even a Snorlax standing far away couldn't be seen.

"Uncle Bai, where should we wait for them?"

Lin Shi approached Bai Shouli and asked.

"It's at the entrance of the village."

"Look, it's under that big locust tree."

Bai Shouli pointed to the distance. Sure enough, even though there was thick fog, he could still vaguely see the shadow of the locust tree.

Lin Shi had some impression of this tree. He passed by it several times during the day. It was a big tree that required five or six people to hug it.

On the way, Lin Shiye asked Bai Shouli about what the old man said about the God who saved the village, but unfortunately, Bai Shouli, as the village chief, didn't quite know.

But when he was young, he seemed to have heard from the old people that there had always been a guardian god in their village, who would appear when the village was in danger and save the village and the villagers.

After hearing Bai Shouli's words, Lin Shi pondered for a moment and did not ask any more questions.

The group of three walked hurriedly and soon arrived under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, waiting for the guests to join them. Several of them had serious expressions on their faces, observing the village in the thick fog vigilantly.

Time passed by minute by minute, but there was no sign of the guests that Bai Shouli had mentioned. The night gradually darkened, and the moonlight was completely covered by the fog, making the village even darker.

"Lin Shi, Uncle Bai, do you feel that the fog seems to be getting heavier?"

Qiu Ning frowned and said as he looked towards the village.

"Lin Shi, are you talking?"

"Lin Shi?"

Qiu Ning shouted a few times but found no one answered. She immediately turned around and was surprised to find that Lin Shi and Bai Shouli, who were originally standing beside her, had disappeared.

Qiu Ning moved her eyes quickly, searching for the two people, but it was dark all around and she found nothing.

"Damn it, when?"

Qiu Ning bit her lips lightly and took out a Poké Ball.

"Come out, Cool Panther."

"ah."

As soon as the cool leopard came out, it lay on the ground with its front body, scanning the surrounding environment with a ferocious face.

Qiu Ning felt relieved when he saw Cool Leopard coming out. It is an evil type and can restrain ghost type, so it can play a significant role in this situation.

"what is that?"

At this moment, Qiu Ning saw a figure standing quietly in the thick fog not far away. Looking at the back, Qiu Ning felt that the figure looked familiar.

"Lin Shi, is that you?"

Qiu Ning asked the figure in front of her, but the figure did not give her any response.

Qiu Ning immediately became alert and her expression gradually became serious. Lin Shi would not joke with her like that.

So, is this the ghost that was rumored?

"Cool Leopard, be alert."

Qiu Ning shouted softly, commanding the Cool Leopard and also taking a fighting stance.

"Cool Leopard? Cool Leopard?"

After calling out several times without any response, Qiu Ning looked down anxiously and found that the cool leopard that was originally at his feet had disappeared.

Qiu Ning was greatly frightened by this sudden change. The fact that Cool Leopard could disappear silently meant that the opponent was at least one level stronger than her, which made her very nervous.

At this moment, the figure that had been silent suddenly moved. It quietly stretched out its arm, bent its palm slightly, and waved to Qiu Ning.

Seeing this strange scene, Qiu Ning couldn't help swallowing. She felt a strong sense of disharmony from the waving ghost, but she didn't know what went wrong for a while.

"call……"

Qiu Ning let out a light breath and took out another Poké Ball, but did not summon it. She was afraid that she would lose contact with the Poké Ball again after calling it out, so it would be better to hold it in her hand and release it when she encountered danger.

It’s better to stay away from this damn thing first.

Qiu Ning thought to herself and began to retreat slowly, but after retreating more than ten meters in one breath, she had to stop with a serious expression.

Because she found that even though she had taken so many steps, the distance between her and the ghost thing had not widened at all.

"Damn..."

Qiu Ning was also somewhat helpless at the moment and didn't know what to do.

Fight it?

Before Qiu Ning could think of a solution, the ghost began to make new strange movements.

Qiu Ning saw that the frequency of its waving was gradually increasing, and she didn't know if it was an illusion caused by the fog, but she felt that the distance between them seemed to be getting closer and closer...

Time passed by bit by bit, and the fog became thicker as the night deepened. The cold wind blew, making Qiu Ning shiver.

She has confirmed it.

That's not an illusion!

The distance between them is indeed getting closer!

After Qiu Ning realized this, she subconsciously stepped back, but then she found that she had no way to control her body, as if she was bound by invisible threads, unable to move and could only stay where she was.

"Get moving..."

"Hurry up and move..."

Qiu Ning forced his fingers to move, but he just couldn't do it.

While Qiu Ning was concentrating his willpower to fight against the control, the ghost in the thick fog gradually moved. This time Qiu Ning saw it very clearly. The distance between the two was visibly shrinking.

As the distance got closer, the hazy shadow gradually became clearer. Qiu Ning's face turned pale and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down her forehead. At this moment, she finally realized what the incongruous feeling of the ghost was.

Normally, when someone waves to you, he or she will stretch out his or her arm and shake the entire forearm slightly towards the body. But this shadow is different. Its entire arm is stretched straight, and only the palm is moving stiffly.

it felt like...

It's like this person is facing away from you, stretching out his arms, but because of the restraints of his joints he can only bend his wrists to wave at you...

Qiu Ning widened her eyes, and a terrible thought kept emerging in her mind.

Why is it facing away from me...

Is it because its head is actually turned around...

Thinking of this, a chill rushed to the top of her head. Fear gradually crept into her heart, and she began to struggle even more desperately to break free from the restraints.

But at this moment, she secretly glanced at the ghost's position and stopped suddenly.

Missing?

That ghost disappeared?

Have you left?

Unable to move his body, Qiu Ning could only move his eyes, scan the front, and guess in his mind.

"call."

A cold breath hit her neck, and instantly, goose bumps crawled all over her body. She felt something was staring at her from behind.

She didn't know what it was, nor did she want to know, but horrible thoughts kept appearing in her mind uncontrollably.

A suffocating silence enveloped the village. Qiu Ning hardened his heart and quietly moved his eyes to the side, trying to observe the situation behind him.

Suddenly a dark shadow blocked her vision. She opened her eyes wide and saw a blood-red eyeball.

"what……"

Screams broke through the thick fog and echoed through the village.
