Late at night, the Temple of the Sea.
At this time, the Temple of the Sea seemed to be completely silent, and almost no sound could be heard. Only the rapid whirlpool under the cliff in the distance was still flowing tirelessly and rapidly, making the sound of rushing water.
Xia Hu walked silently through the corridor. The surroundings were extremely quiet. He could only hear the echo of his own footsteps. Although there was Gengar accompanying him, it walked without any movement. It was like a shadow, almost walking alone with him. There is no difference.
Compared to the solemn and mysterious atmosphere during the day, at night, the atmosphere here changed and became a bit eerie.
One person and one Pokémon had not gone very far when Xia You discovered that for some unknown reason, there were no modern lighting tools such as electric lamps in the corridor. Instead, there were oil lamps hanging every few meters. The lights dimly lit up the entire corridor, bringing a slightly dim light to the night.
But it’s not difficult to understand. As for the temple, if you don’t make it mysterious, how can you express its mystery?
And there is another advantage to doing this, that is, the burning lights can dissipate some of the humidity in the air and keep the Sea Temple dry.
After walking for another ten meters, Xia You couldn't help but turn around and look at Geng Gui beside her.
"Where on earth did you just see that trio of Team Rocket?"
Gengar raised his stubby arm and pointed forward: "It's not far ahead. There is a shortcut around here that can go around them. Come with me!"
Under the leadership of Geng Gui, Xia You came to a staircase at the corner. He saw Geng Gui operating a few times on the lampstand nearby, and then a secret door suddenly appeared on the wall!
"Go in." Geng Gui Jiejie smiled strangely, "This is the secret passage I discovered during my previous exploration. The secret passage connects most parts of the temple and is very secretive."
It's really hard to imagine that Gengar found out the secret passage here in just a few hours!
Isn't this equivalent to exposing the other party's biggest secret?
But think about it, Pokémon of Gengar's lineage generally like to walk through walls, and they also like dark places very much, so it's not surprising that they can discover such secrets.
Entering the secret passage, the world at the door is even darker. A narrow and low passage is just enough for one person to pass through.
And compared to the corridor outside, it is almost impossible to see anything here, and nothing can be seen clearly. This is not a problem for a Pokémon like Gengar that has long been adapted to the dark, but as a human, he does not have such an ability. .
There was no other way, so Xia You could only release his Leibu, letting it condense electricity and light up the road under his feet.
Following the passage, Xia You turned left and right, they passed through several intersections, and finally passed through a secret door and left this secret passage.
However, before Xia You could clearly see where he was, he suddenly heard footsteps in the distance, approaching little by little. Without having time to think about it, he quickly took Leibu back and hid himself in the darkness. .
…
Deep in the Sea Temple.
At this time, the Rocket trio were wandering around quietly.
Because it was too late, they couldn't use a flashlight, they had no map, and they couldn't ask anyone. Since they broke in, Kojiro and Musashi seemed to have lost their way, and they had been walking back and forth here for a long time.
Now, the two of them only felt that their calves were sore and weak, and they could no longer take a step.
After finding a stone step, Kojiro simply refused to walk. He sat there, beating his legs, and couldn't help frowning: "Hey, Musashi, have we walked through this place just now? Why? Looks so familiar?”
"Is there any?" Musashi also leaned on the stone pillar next to him, sticking out his tongue like a dog, as if he wanted to relieve his fatigue in this way, "The structures here are all similar, you must have seen it wrong! "
After hearing the conversation between the two, Miao Miao's expression changed, and she quickly jumped to their side and made a silencing gesture: "Shh! You two keep your voices down, don't wake up the guards here!"
"What are you afraid of?" Musashi curled his lips nonchalantly, "The game is over. Junsha and the police have gone back. Now there are only some women and the few gatekeepers at the door left here. If they dare to come and get in the way, I will Just take care of them!"
Kojiro hesitated for a moment: "But I saw that Xia You and Xiao Guitou's gang seemed to have moved in here. If we wake them up, we will be in trouble!"
"So what if they are here?" Musashi said harshly, but his expression clearly showed some lack of confidence, "We will leave immediately after we get the scepter. It's so dark now, as long as we go out, we can go wherever we want. If we hide in a tree, they won’t be able to catch us even if they want to!”
Thinking that what Musashi said was reasonable, Kojiro and Miaomiao felt a lot more at ease.
But what they didn't know was that in the shadow next to them, Xia You was looking at them with squinted eyes!
It turns out that these guys...are actually eyeing the scepter in Maya's hand?
After listening to all the conversations between the few people, Xia You knew what their purpose was.
Speaking of which, the scepter itself is not only made of pure gold, but even the soul of the sea on it is a priceless treasure and has great symbolic significance. If they really get it, it will have a great impact on Maya, the Temple of the Sea, and even the entire Whirlpool Islands. It is undoubtedly a heavy blow.
Putting the target on the scepter, I don’t know if it was just the idea of these three people, or an order from the top of Team Rocket.
And the trio of Team Rocket who were panting, naturally didn't know that the person they were most worried about and afraid of was hiding next to them!
After resting for a while, a sudden gust of draft blew through the hall, causing the trio to shiver collectively.
Kojiro tightened his clothes and complained: "This shabby place looks fine during the day, but why does it feel so eerie at night!?"
"You think too much, it's all psychological." Musashi rolled his eyes at him, "Really, how can you be Team Rocket if you are so timid!"
Kojiro looked around. The more he looked at this place, the more creepy it became. He couldn't help but urge: "Okay, we've almost rested, so let's hurry up!"
"coward……"
Musashi was about to say something, but at this moment, the three of them heard another burst of creepy laughter. The sound came near and far away, as if it was right next to their ears. However, when they turned around to look, they heard another burst of creepy laughter. Saw nothing again!
But this sound can still reach their ears clearly until now!
Gudong!
Several people swallowed subconsciously, looked at each other, and hurriedly stood up from the ground.
Musashi looked at Kojiro and smiled dryly: "You...what you said makes sense. We really can't stay here for a long time. Let's go steal that scepter!"
But after what happened, this time, Kojiro and Meowth refused to go to the front no matter what, but a grown man and a Pokémon actually pushed Musashi to the front.
Being pushed by these two bastards, Musashi wanted to curse, and she was naturally very scared. However, after all, she was the one who initiated this action, and now she could only bravely walk at the front...
