After crossing a bend and looking forward along the straight road, around eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Mo and his party finally saw the Aster town with lights on under the dim sky.
"The last time I came here was when I just graduated. It was about the same season. At that time, many people who planned to go to Evergreen Forest would choose to come to Aster Town to rest in the evening, so here There are so many tourists, especially at night, that it’s impossible to grab free parking spaces. It’s nowhere like now..."
Ah Hui looked at the few cars parked sparsely in the free parking lot and couldn't help but sigh.
After entering Ziyuan Town, Chen Mo and others also discovered that the lively town originally described by Ah Hui had become quite desolate at this time.
Even though it was only eight o'clock, many stores had already closed their doors early.
There were very few passers-by walking around on the street. Occasionally, they met one or two, and they were all in a hurry. When they bumped into Chen Mo and other guys who looked like outsiders, their eyes looked like they had seen ghosts, and they didn't even want to say more. Just say that and leave immediately.
"...I remember that the residents here used to be quite friendly..."
After being frustrated again, Ah Hui scratched his head, embarrassment written all over his face.
The affinity he was proud of seemed to have lost its effect in this place. Even if he approached with a smile on his face, the residents of Aster Town would only respond with indifferent eyes, as if they were looking at a fool.
[Why are the people here like this? Brother Hui has already greeted me so politely, but these people don't even want to say a word. 】
[Absolutely, this is even if Mo Bao and Ah Hui didn't bring Pichu and Green Caterpillar with them. What would these passers-by be like if they brought them with them. 】
[In fact, it is not difficult to understand. After all, the tourism industry is in a downturn due to elves, and the town is still haunted. The residents are probably numb. 】
[I understand, but it’s not Brother Hui who caused them to be like this. This attitude... is really ugly. 】
[Mo Bao and the others won’t have to sleep on the street tonight. 】
[After listening to Brother Hui’s talk about Aster Town for a long time, I was already attracted to it and planned to go traveling when I had time. But now that I’ve watched the live broadcast, emmm... I’d better forget it. 】
After seeing the scene just now, the audience in the live broadcast room expressed their feelings for Ah Hui.
Chen Mo also frowned at this time.
He originally planned to inquire about the details of the 'haunting' incident through passers-by, and see if he could get some useful information from it, so as to determine whether the so-called 'haunting' was caused by ghost-type Pokémon.
However, facing the current situation where people are unwilling to communicate with each other, Chen Mo also has some difficulties.
"Brother Mo, don't worry. I know the owner of a hotel. He just sent me a message and said he is willing to host us for one night."
Ah Hui, who thought Chen Mo was worried about accommodation tonight, spoke up.
"Have you told the boss about the elves?"
"ah!"
Ah Hui was stunned, his expression instantly solidified.
"It's over, I forgot..."
"You, you."
Chen Mo shook his head helplessly.
"It's okay, Brother Mo, I'll ask him right now."
"Actually, there is no need to embarrass the hotel owner so much. What I don't care about is where to rest tonight. If you and Brother Yi don't have any objections, I can just spend the night on the off-road vehicle. There’s no problem.”
Ah Hui put down his phone when he heard this, his expression full of doubts.
"Then Brother Mo, you..."
"Do you still remember the elf attributes I mentioned during the live broadcast before?"
"I'm just kidding. Except for the part where I was connected to you, Brother Mo, I watched the rest of your live broadcast, Brother Mo, at least twice in replay."
Ah Hui raised his head slightly and looked at the audience on the other side of the camera with a slightly proud expression.
Do you know what a die-hard fan is?
"Elves have a total of eighteen attributes, which are..."
"Stop it!"
In Ah Hui's eyes full of resentment, Chen Mo said directly.
"To put it simply, I suspect that the haunting incident in Aster Town may be related to ghost elves. The reason why I chose to come to Aster Town this time is to investigate the situation here carefully."
After hearing Chen Mo's words, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately started talking.
After all, in the previous two live broadcasts, the most common elves in Hongjingpo Forest were various grass-type, insect-type elves, and they had never seen any ghost-type elves. They only saw them when Chen Mo was chatting. I have heard a few elven names that require special attention.
[I thought the haunting thing was just a joke, but it turns out there really is something more hidden. 】
[Nonsense, even if you don’t believe it at first, when you come to this town and feel the atmosphere here, you should know that something is wrong here. 】
[Are ghost elves causing trouble? It feels a bit scary. 】
[I remember that during Mo Bao’s previous live broadcast, he mentioned a kind of elf called the Candlelight Spirit, which can absorb the lives of ghosts and humans. To be honest, just because of this description, I have some psychological shadow on the ghost-type elves. 】
[Otherwise, Mo Bao, you’d better not get involved in this matter...]
[If this haunting incident is not solved, the situation in Aster Town will get worse and worse. I support Mo Bao’s idea, although I am also a little scared of ghost elves. 】
[Mo Bao is a science popularizer, not a savior. I think there is no need to take such a risk to provoke a ghost-type elf with a tendency to hurt others. 】
[How are you sure that elf will hurt people? Do you know how the policeman was injured? 】
The barrage is noisy.
But it is true that ghost elves are very special, and some of them even harbor great malice towards humans. Just when Chen Mo was about to explain the future situation to Ah Hui and Brother Yi, a male voice rang from the side.
"…calligraphy!?"
The voice was strange and young.
Hearing this special title, Chen Mo turned his head and saw a young man with a delicate face, his hands obviously wrapped in bandages, standing ten meters away, looking at his location with a look of disbelief on his face.
The moment he caught a glimpse of Chen Mo turning his head, the young man who was sure of his judgment suddenly brightened up and trotted over with strong steps.
"Mo...Mr. Chen Mo, it's really you."
But when he came to Chen Mo, the young man glanced at the camera on Brother Yi's shoulder, and his expression suddenly became a little shy.
"Sorry, Mr. Chen Mo, my name is Qiao Cheng, and I am a fan in your live broadcast room."
And in the entire live broadcast room, when Qiao Liang just yelled "Mo Bao", he had already ended the previous quarrel and quickly changed the topic.
[F*ck, I’m shocked! Mo Bao can also meet fans here! ? 】
[This is the first time I met a fan during a live broadcast. This call suddenly gave me the feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land. This small town is finally not so indifferent. 】
[I feel like this guy is a bit handsome, although he’s a little worse than Mo Bao (~￣▽￣)~]
[This brother came just in time. Mo Bao is probably worried about not being able to find someone to understand the situation. 】
