The so-called journey is like this. You never know what will happen at the next place, who you will meet, and what kind of elves you will meet.
Watching Absolu leave, a smile appeared on Chen Mo's lips.
He turned around and was about to leave when the middle-aged man next to him hurriedly stopped him.
"That monster just now...is it called Absol?"
"Um."
Chen Mo looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile.
"This is Absol as a warning to those who are about to encounter misfortune. If you still encounter it, please be sure to pay attention to your surroundings."
"I...I understand, I misunderstood it before..."
The middle-aged man looked guilty, and then he looked at Chen Mo with a hint of extravagant hope in his eyes.
"Then can I still meet it? I want to say thank you to it."
Uncle Daqing, you didn’t listen to what I said before at all.
Chen Mo sighed inwardly.
"Since Absol can appear here, it proves that it should live in Chuanshu City. If you, uncle, are a local here, then maybe."
"…Thanks."
The middle-aged uncle finally realized it.
Chuanshu City is a city surrounded by mountains. It is extremely difficult to meet an Absol that walks in the mountains and rivers all year round.
The middle-aged uncle raised his head again. The young man accompanying the magical beast had gone away. He appeared and disappeared mysteriously, just like Absol before.
…
Although the tunnel collapse did not cause any casualties due to Absol, the road Chen Mo had planned to take was completely unworkable.
Changing roads, coupled with another small traffic jam caused by the collapse of the tunnel, this journey can be said to be extremely unsatisfactory.
Before I can see the shadow of the evergreen forest here, the sky has already darkened.
Chen Mo raised his head and looked in the rearview mirror to see Piqiu, who was already resting in the back seat, and continued driving in silence.
Ah Hui in the passenger seat thought for a moment, then turned his head and said to Chen Mo.
"Brother Mo, if this continues, even if we arrive in the Evergreen Forest today, I'm afraid it will be completely dark. By then we will have to set up a tent and make a fire for dinner..."
"If you have any suggestions, just tell me. Don't hesitate. After all, I am also a little worried now."
"Is such that."
Ah Hui took out his phone and clicked on the navigation.
"Brother Mo, there is a special tourist town here. I went to Evergreen Forest for camping before, and because of some things, I went there once. This town is not far from where we are now, about half a drive away. We arrived in just an hour, and there is a path over there that is not available in the navigation system. I only found out about it through the locals, and it leads directly to the outskirts of the evergreen forest, and the journey only takes about an hour."
"So, Brother Mo, how about we go to this small town to take a rest today, and wait until dawn tomorrow to continue our journey?"
Plans cannot keep up with changes, which is something that often happens when traveling.
But the matter has come to this, and Ah Hui’s proposal seems to be the best choice at the moment.
And most importantly.
Bibi Bird has been flying for a long time today. It relies on physical strength no more than a gasoline-burning car. It must be very tired now.
It's time to find a place to take a good rest.
With Chen Mo's agreement, Ah Hui's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he directly introduced the characteristics of various small towns to Chen Mo, especially in terms of food.
"Brother Mo, listen to me. When you go to Ziyuan Town, don't worry about anything. Just find a restaurant in the town and order a piece of their special bamboo tube rice. The taste is incredible. It's really what I do. The most delicious bamboo tube rice I have ever eaten in my life, the flavor of the bacon is perfectly combined with the fragrance of the bamboo tube, and paired with rice, I won’t say more, Brother Mo, drive faster.”
"..."
You are just waiting to be a food anchor.
Chen Mo looked at Ah Hui, who was clearly unable to hold himself back, and shook his head helplessly.
He’s also a foodie!
but…
The name Aster Town reminded Chen Mo of a childhood incident related to Pokémon.
When I was young, when I was playing Pokémon games, I would pass by a place called Aster Town. The name aster comes from a plant called aster, whose flower language means "Don't forget me." , so it is often associated with elements such as ghosts and memories.
Um…
That's why Aster Town in Pokémon is set to look eerie and terrifying, especially the BGM in the game, which is not friendly at all and is completely different from the brisk style in the usual games.
Just as Chen Mo was driving and immersed in memories of the past, Ah Hui suddenly spoke up, with a hint of weirdness in his tone.
"Brother Mo, I think we should not go to Aster Town..."
"Um?"
Chen Mo frowned when he came back to his senses. His car had already driven onto the road to Ziyuan Town. Now you suddenly can't say anything anymore.
Is this appropriate?
"Why? Don't you want to eat bamboo rice?"
Chen Mo said doubtfully.
"It has nothing to do with this..."
Ah Hui looked at the live broadcast room on his mobile phone, then raised his head to look at Chen Mo, and said slowly.
"Brother Mo, someone among your fans used a prominent message to remind you that Aster Town is being haunted recently. No one in the area dares to go there now. I heard that even the policeman responsible for the past investigation was injured."
The vehicle came to a slow stop.
Chen Mo glanced at Pichu who was still sleeping peacefully in the rearview mirror, and then looked at Ah Hui with questions in his mind.
"you sure?"
"I don't know, it was your fans who said so, and there was more than one person."
"..."
Chen Mo patted his forehead gently.
Sure enough, the name Aster is not very auspicious.
"Brother Mo, what should I do? Do you want to turn around?"
"Let me think..."
The existence of Arthurs before made Chen Mo understand that there are indeed some incredible things in this world.
But when it comes to ghosts causing trouble, Chen Mo doesn't believe it at all.
After all, a person as powerful as Arthur has to rely on part of the power of the unknown totem and Zekrom to maintain his soul state in the world, and it is impossible to think about the souls of ordinary people.
However, Chen Mo has never forgotten that among the elves, there are some extremely special elves, and they are ghost Pokémon.
"Has anyone died in Aster Town due to ghost attacks?"
"Let me see...the barrage said that only one policeman was injured, but it seems that there were no others."
"I see."
The off-road vehicle started up again, and the target was still the rumored haunted Aster Town.
Shortly after Chen Mo and others left, a white shadow quickly passed through the mountain forest.
