"Bang, bang, bang..."

"Is anyone there..."

"I'm a Pokémon trainer passing by. If it's convenient, can I stay here for the night? I'll leave at dawn tomorrow morning."

In front of the castle gate,

Lin Haoran stood side by side with Greninja.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door of the villa in front of him, and shouted loudly into the house.

".........................."

However, there was only silence in response.

Time passed by, and there was no movement in the house, as if no one lived there at all.

But Lin Haoran clearly remembered that he had clearly seen the lights on inside just now, how could there be no one?

"Bang, bang..."

Just as he was wondering, the glass in front of the door suddenly exploded without warning.

Then, a blood-red liquid flowed out of the broken glass,

The strange color of the liquid was like blood,

It was creepy.

Lin Haoran's pupils suddenly contracted, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.

He subconsciously wanted to go forward to check the situation.

"Creaky..."

Just at this moment, a strange sound came into his ears.

The tightly closed door slowly opened, and every turn was accompanied by a harsh friction sound,

which made people's nerves tense to the extreme.

Finally, the door was completely open,

and a figure appeared at the door.

It was a wrinkled,

kind-looking old lady.

She had a kind smile on her face, and her eyes revealed an indescribable strange look.

Lin Haoran stared at the old man in front of him, and the strange feeling in his heart became stronger.

"Young man... Sorry, I didn't hear you talking when I was working in the backyard just now."

"You want to stay overnight, right!?"

The old lady greeted Lin Haoran kindly, her mouth was a little exaggerated,

almost grinning to the roots of her ears, which looked a little creepy.

She narrowed her eyes and stared at Lin Haoran, as if she could see through his internal organs.

"Grandma... yes!"

Lin Haoran tried hard to suppress the throbbing in his heart, smiled, and asked the grandma politely:

"Is it convenient?"

"Yes... of course it is convenient."

The grandma's voice was filled with a hint of joy,

"Anyway, I live alone, there are many rooms, you can choose whatever you want! Come in!"

As she said that, she also waved to Lin Haoran.

However, Lin Haoran noticed that the grandma did not take a step out, and always stood inside the door.

This detail made a ripple in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at the Koga Greninja,

seemingly communicating something.

After a moment, Lin Haoran nodded and decided to step into this mysterious and strange castle.

He carefully stepped over the threshold and entered the hall of the castle.

But what Lin Haoran didn't see was that,

The blood-red liquid that just shattered the glass slowly formed three words on the glass - "Get out of here!"

.................................................

The hall was filled with an old atmosphere, with ancient portraits hanging on the walls,

and a thick carpet on the floor,

but it exuded a gloomy feeling.

Lin Haoran looked around, secretly alert in his heart.

A painting on the wall caught Lin Haoran's attention,

It was a warm painting, with a kind and gentle old man and an innocent and lovely little girl in the picture.

The old man was the old lady in front of him, with a warm smile on her face;

The little girl smiled very happily, holding a beautiful doll tightly in her arms.

Behind the little girl, there was a Gastly, which also smiled happily,

as if it was a member of this family.

The whole picture presented a happy and harmonious atmosphere, which made people feel endless warmth and love.

Just as Lin Haoran was immersed in the wonderful feeling brought by this painting, the old lady noticed that Lin Haoran was interested in this painting, so she smiled and explained to him: "This is my granddaughter... her name is Xiaoxue." Lin Haoran sincerely praised: "She is so cute... Where is she now?" Hearing this question, the smile on the old lady's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a gloomyHaze.

Her eyes revealed deep sorrow and pain, and her voice became hoarse:

"She... died..."

"Dead!?"

Lin Haoran opened his eyes wide in astonishment. He had never expected to get such an answer.

His heart was filled with guilt and apology, and he quickly apologized to the old lady:

"I'm sorry..."

"I'm sorry, old lady, I didn't know."

The old lady silently endured the grief, and she gently waved her hand to show that she didn't care.

Lin Haoran felt as if his throat was blocked by something, and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak.

"It's okay............."

The old lady smiled again and said:

"Xiaoxue is in poor health and has congenital heart disease."

"She needs fresh air and a quiet place to recuperate, so Xiaoxue's parents built a house in the suburbs for Xiaoxue to live and recuperate."

"She spent her last days here... and then passed away."

The old lady's voice was a little hoarse,

and she spoke with a heavy heart.

Lin Haoran nodded heavily when he heard this. It must be hard to feel this kind of feeling of sending off a young person.
