At sunset.
The exquisite mansion stands in the forest and is brightly lit.
Baili Yuan and Gardevoir looked at the mansion, then smiled at each other and walked towards the mansion.
In their eyes, the mansion was not as beautiful as it looked, but rather decayed and dilapidated. Ivy-like plants covered the walls of the mansion. At dusk, it looked a bit eerie and full of ominous atmosphere.
"Excuse me, is there anyone there?" Bailiyuan pushed open the door and asked.
At the same time, he also took a brief look at the internal structure of the mansion. There was a hall on the first floor. Opposite the door was an upward staircase. There was a portrait hanging on the wall of the staircase. The interior decoration also looked gorgeous and elegant. , very stylish.
"Oh? Are there any guests?" A magnetic voice sounded, "Please come in."
Then a figure walked down the stairs from the second floor.
This is an old man wearing a tuxedo. He looks handsome and polite, like a highly cultivated nobleman.
The portrait hanging on the wall of Xutai is of this old man, which shows that this old man should be the owner of this mansion.
Bailiyuan and Gardevoir walked into the mansion. The inside of the mansion seemed to be much warmer than outside. Then Bailiyuan asked: "Hello, I'm taking the liberty of visiting. We are lost travelers. It's already late outside. May I ask? Can we stay here for one night?"
The old man looked at Baili Yuan and Gardevoir and smiled slightly, "I sympathize with your situation. You can rest here for a night."
Baili Yuan and Gardevoir smiled.
"Thank you then~"
Following the old man up to the second floor, when Bai Liyuan and Gardevoir passed by the platform, when their eyes left the portrait, the corners of the old man's mouth in the portrait suddenly raised strangely, as if he was smiling.
…
The old man did not introduce himself, and Baili Yuan and Gardevoir didn't ask any questions.
However, the old man was very enthusiastic about Bailiyuan and Gardevoir. Not only did he allow them to stay here, he also prepared a sumptuous dinner for them.
When Bailiyuan and Gardevoir were sitting at the dining table, the dining table was filled with rich food, but neither of them touched a bite.
"What's wrong, you two? Is the food prepared for you not to your liking?" the old man asked.
Bailiyuan shook his head.
"It's just that we just ate. We had a picnic in the forest before and ate a lot."
Although it looked like there was plenty of food in front of the two of them, in fact, all the dishes on the table were empty plates.
"Well, that's a pity." The old man said regretfully.
"No, thank you very much for your care. We can talk to you. By the way, I heard an interesting legend when I came to EMI Forest." Bailiyuan said.
"Legend?" The old man became interested, "Can I listen to it?"
"Of course you can."
The restaurant suddenly became quiet, and the flames reflected Baili Yuan's face, casting a shadow.
"Have you ever heard of the legend of the Ghost Eater?"
The old man raised his eyebrows.
"Ghost eater? I do know about cannibals."
"It's different." Baili Yuan slowly narrated, "Legend has it that ghost eaters wander around the Sinnoh region and feed on ghosts. They will tear apart the ghost's body and eat the ghost's stumps bit by bit, and then they will be killed. When a ghost eater bites the ghost, the ghost will suffer tremendous mental torture. Only when the ghost eater swallows the ghost completely can the ghost end its pain and be freed. I heard that many ghosts have been eaten by them."
There seemed to be an invisible pressure hanging around the old man, making the old man couldn't help but hold his hand.
"I also heard..."
Suddenly Bailiyuan's voice became deeper, as if it had turned into a huge boulder weighing on the old man's heart.
The old man swallowed and asked, "What else have you heard?"
The restaurant seemed to be getting colder, and the lights flickered twice.
"I also heard that they had arrived near the Edai Forest, so I learned about this legend."
The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became tense, and the old man's breath hitched.
Bailiyuan smiled and returned to his sunny appearance.
"It's just a legend, but it's very interesting. How can there be ghosts in this world? The legend of ghost eaters must be nonsense."
Only then did the old man react, and then he also laughed, "Hahaha, it's really an interesting story. Yes, how can there be ghosts in this world?"
Bailiyuan and Gardevoir looked at the old man's smile and showed the same smile. The look in their eyes made the old man feel a chill running down his spine.
The old man's smile seemed to be hiding something, but he quickly regained his relaxed look and laughed, "This legend is really interesting. I almost took it as true."
"Yes, yes, the person who told me the story also told me that it was true. He also told me about the appearance of ghost eaters, as if they really existed. I almost believed it."
"Oh? What are the characteristics of ghost eaters?" The old man became interested, "Do they have any obvious characteristics?"
Baili Yuan nodded, "The man told us that the ghost eaters are actually a man and a woman. They look young, and the woman has green hair."
The old man looked at Bailiyuan and Gardevoir with a stiff smile.
One man and one woman?
Looking young?
The woman still has green hair?
I suspect you are introducing yourselves!
Gardevoir smiled politely at the old man.
"They also say that we are ghost eaters, but we just happen to look alike, so we are not ghost eaters." Bai Liyuan said with a smile.
The old man wiped his sweat and said, "That's really a coincidence."
Bailiyuan didn't seem to be bothered about this matter at all, "Can we go to the place where we rest? It's time for us to rest too."
Only then did the old man react.
"Ah, yes, of course no problem."
…
The old man took Baili Yuan and Gardevoir down the corridor to the guest room.
There are many rooms in this mansion.
"Can we stay in room 237?" Bailiyuan asked.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "No problem, of course."
The three of them walked in the corridor. The corridor was very long and quiet.
Soon, the three of them arrived at room 237, and the old man pushed the door open first.
"This is the room you want..."
At this time, the old man seemed to be attracted by something, his voice became smaller and smaller, and his legs moved involuntarily towards the bathroom.
Bailiyuan and Gardevoir looked at the old man's appearance, smiled at each other, and then slowly closed the door to the room.
"Never go to room 237~"
…
The old man walked to the bathroom. The curtain of the bathroom was suddenly opened, and a beautiful dream monster was bathing in the bathtub.
When the dream demon saw the old man coming, he stood up with a smile, like a beautiful woman coming out of the bath.
Looking at the dream monster, the old man's Adam's apple twitched. He suddenly felt that this dream monster was very charming and had a strange attraction to him.
"Hello..." the old man said nervously, like a little boy who had met a goddess.
The dream demon did not speak, but looked at the old man with a smile, floated out of the bathtub, gracefully came to the old man, held the old man's cheeks, and then gave him a sweet kiss.
The old man felt that his heartbeat was gradually accelerating, and he responded enthusiastically to the dream monster without hesitation.
Regardless of whether there is an egg set or not, do it first and then talk about it.
At this time, the old man suddenly noticed the mirror in the bathroom. In the mirror, he changed back to his original appearance, and the dream monster in his arms turned into a terrifying death coffin.
The old man's eyes widened, he hurriedly pushed away the dream monster in his arms, and quickly retreated.
The dream demon also transformed into the coffin of the God of Death, and laughed strangely at the old man. Then the coffin opened and stretched out four strange hands, trying to grab the old man and drag him into the coffin.
The old man rushed out of the bathroom, opened the door, locked the door, and ran in the mansion, trying to get away from the room.
Just after turning a corner, the old man found that the door of a room opposite was open, and Gardevoir was sitting inside. Gardevoir smiled at him.
The old man suddenly felt bad and hurriedly changed direction to escape.
He knew that there was definitely something wrong with Bailiyuan and Gardevoir!
But on the other side, Baili Yuan stood, licking his teeth at him.
"What do you smell like?" Bailiyuan asked with a smile.
The old man ran away again, this time he ran back to the restaurant. At this time, the restaurant had become dark, but there was a figure sitting on every chair.
No, those are not living people, but skeletons!
Large spider webs cover the restaurant and these skeletons!
Without stopping, the old man ran out of the restaurant. He couldn't walk up the stairs and had to take the elevator.
Is there an elevator in the mansion?
Where is the elevator?
The old man didn't know clearly, but he followed his feeling and came to the red and black elevator.
But just before he reached the elevator, he felt the floor trembling under his feet, and the old man stared at the direction of the elevator.
It seems like something is coming!
Suddenly a large amount of red blood spurted out from the gap, flowed on the floor, and rushed towards the old man from the direction of the elevator.
"ah!!!"
The old man exclaimed and ran away to the rear.
