Pokémon: From Magikarp

On a foggy night, the village seemed like a forgotten ruin, with the light from the houses dim through the thick fog.

Accompanied by bursts of deafening bells, Lin Shi and his group returned to the village chief's house safely.

"You guys are finally back?"

"Come in, what happened?"

Seeing everyone panting and in a mess, the Bai couple asked everyone worriedly.

The huge bell had been ringing continuously since a while ago, but the villagers, who were doubtful, did not dare to go out of the house to check the situation.

Hearing the question, no one responded for a while. Meng Wan looked at the dark world outside the window with fear.

"It didn't catch up?"

Lin Shi silently opened the search system, searching for the trace of the Wandering Night Spirit, and shook his head with relief.

"should not."

"call."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

Finally escaped temporarily...

"what happened?"

"How come a king-level elf appeared in the village?"

Qiu Ning said with lingering fear.

Lin Shi sat on the chair, thanked Aunt Yunfang who handed him the hot tea, and then said slowly:

"Who knows? I've never heard of it..."

"but……"

Lin Shi took a sip of tea and glanced at Meng Ge.

"Now I know why Haunter is here."

Meng Ge, who was wiping Haunter's Poké Ball with her head down, nodded when she heard this. The moment she saw Wandering Night Spirit, she understood.

"The cloth of the spirit world."

Meng Ge said slowly and softly.

"That's right. The Cloth of the Spirit World is a necessary item for the Wandering Night Spirit to evolve into the Night Demon. I'm afraid that this Wandering Night Spirit, who appeared in the Misty Village for some unknown reason, sensed the Cloth of the Spirit World and used special means to summon Haunter here."

Lin Shi explained in a deep voice, then he crossed his hands, rubbed them back and forth, and continued with a serious expression:

"And I don't know if you noticed, but in the battle just now, Wandering Night Spirit didn't seem to use his full strength."

"If it's not because of its kindness, then it's probably because it's at a critical moment of digesting the Spirit World Cloth and evolving, and doesn't want to waste its energy."

Everyone recalled the battle just now and nodded silently. The Heavenly King level and the Gym Master level seemed to be one level lower, but in fact, the difference in strength was huge. The Wandering Night Spirit just now was indeed a little short of the mark...

"On the other hand, once the Wandering Night Spirit completes its evolution, not only will its strength be greatly enhanced, but it will also be free of restraints. The consequences will be disastrous."

Lin Shi's words made everyone silent, but Meng Wan couldn't help but speak up to break the silence.

"Then what should we do now?"

"Lin Shi, do you have any ideas?"

Meng Wan looked at Lin Shi worriedly, her beautiful eyes full of anxiety.

Not only her, but everyone else in the room couldn't help but turn their eyes to Lin Shi, as if they regarded him as their backbone.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Lin Shi crossed his hands, clenched his fists, supported his chin, and answered without much thought:

"Based on the current situation, we can't be a match for the Wandering Night Spirit. The best way is to wait for a while, leave the village as soon as daybreak, and go to a place where we can contact the outside world and report the situation here."

"Although we can't deal with it, the Shenzhou Alliance can."

"After all, it seems that for some unknown reason, the Wandering Night Spirit only appears at night..."

Lin Shi paused and looked at Bai Shouli again, then said:

"Village leader, I suggest that you gather the villagers together after daybreak and explain the situation to them. Have them leave the village with us, and then bring them back after the alliance has dealt with the situation."

After listening to Lin Shi's words, Bai Shouli nodded seriously. He had already known the seriousness of the matter from the conversation between Lin Shi and others. Lin Shi's proposal was indeed the best at the moment, but I chose it.

Then Lin Shi raised his voice and tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.

"So everyone should not panic and stay calm."

Lin Shi's words made several people feel slightly relieved. Indeed, the Wandering Night Spirit was powerful, but it was not worth mentioning to the Shenzhou Alliance.

Seeing everyone's expressions relax, Lin Shi turned his head and looked out the window. Looking at the dark sky outside, his heart gradually sank.

With a countermeasure, several people regained some energy and spirit, especially Meng Wan, who shouted that she wanted to go back and ask someone to teach Wandering Ye Ling a lesson.

Lin Shi looked at the clock on the wall and rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingers, wondering what he was thinking.

"Did you just lie?"

A cold and pleasant voice sounded from the side. Lin Shi raised his head slightly and met Meng Ge's black gemstone eyes.

"Why do you say that?"

Meng Ge and Lin Shi also looked out the window.

"The Wandering Night Spirit's evolution is at a critical stage. At this moment, it shouldn't let us go so easily."

"unless……"

Meng Ge paused and continued with a serious expression:

"Unless it has something more important to do, and... it is sure that we will not hinder its evolution. In other words, it is impossible for it to allow us to leave the village at will."

"Besides, you were the one who took us back to the village chief's house instead of running out of the village. You obviously realized this."

After listening to Meng Ge's words, Lin Shi knocked on the table silently and said in a deep voice.

"It's too dark."

"What?" Meng Ge didn't react for a moment.

"It's almost four o'clock now. Even if the village is covered in fog, the sky shouldn't be this dark."

Lin Shi continued.

Meng Ge understood what Lin Shi meant and naturally realized the seriousness of the matter immediately.

"Was it done by the Wandering Night Spirit?"

"But why, it can obviously ..."

Meng Ge was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted.

"It just wants to trap us?"

Lin Shi shook his head slightly with a serious look.

"It's probably not just us, the entire Misty Village is trapped by the Wandering Night Spirit."

"Look carefully at the fog in the sky outside." Lin Shi pointed outside.

Following the direction of Lin Shi's hand, Meng Ge looked carefully. The sky over the village was still filled with thick fog as usual. Meng Ge frowned slightly, and suddenly her pupils shrank.

The fog is the wrong color!

Normally, water droplets in the fog in the air will scatter all visible light, making the fog appear white to people. But at this moment, the fog in the air clearly has the texture of fog, but it is black.

That was not natural fog, but a huge cage woven by the Wandering Night Spirit using the black fog skill that enveloped the entire Misty Village!

"So, if we don't do something, it will probably be hard for us to wait until dawn."

Lin Shi took a deep breath.

In fact, he had noticed that something was wrong with the weather from the beginning, but he did not say it out loud in order to stabilize the morale of the troops. What worried him more was another matter.

Judging from the information identified by the system, the Wandering Night Spirit should be very short of energy at the moment, so the reason why he isolated the Misty Village is definitely not as simple as preventing them from going out to tip off.

What's more likely is that when it completes its evolution and runs out of energy, it wants to treat the entire village, including all of them, as cakes in a basket, absorbing the souls of the villagers to make up for its own missing energy, allowing it to complete its evolution thoroughly and solidly.

This is also the reason why it has not taken any action for such a long time. In addition to being afraid of the "god" in the village, it also needs a best time!

And by then, the entire Misty Village will become a dead village!
