Pokemon Dawn

In the ruins, the silver-haired boy ran quickly in the weak candlelight without paying any attention to the ancient murals and texts on the walls.

Although collecting information from the ruins was the original primary goal, saving people is more important now.

According to the records on that ancient floor plan, the first mechanism was...

After running through the long tunnel after the entrance, turning left and proceeding less than ten meters, Xiaotian stopped at the location marked on the map.

I thought that the child who strayed into the ruins should be around this area - although the metal arrows fired by the crossbow machine are not fatal in one blow, they are not something ordinary people can avoid. Generally speaking, they will be injured in such a dangerous place.

If you are hurt, you will no longer move forward rashly.

However, there was no one on the stone road in front of him, and there was no blood on the ground. A metal arrow with rust marks fell from the root of the wall.

Xiaotian stepped forward and picked up the arrow, carefully looking at the rusty but still sharp arrowhead.

No bloodstains.

Could it be that……

The silver-haired boy continued to move forward, and as expected, he found another fallen arrow at the next trap.

Xiaotian looked at the two arrows that were completely unstained with blood, thoughtfully.

If these two mechanisms were triggered by Saya who entered by mistake... No, there is also the possibility of being triggered by the wild Pokémon here. Don't take any chances.

Xiaotian put down the arrow in his hand and continued to move forward at the fastest speed.

However, the sights along the way broke Xiaotian's rigorous thinking. Scattered arrows and gravel were often visible, and sometimes there were mosquito-repellent supersonic bats lying on the ground.

"..."

Xiaotian finally couldn't help but stopped, squatted down and poked the large-shaped Super Sonic Bat.

There was no obvious trauma, it seemed that he was just knocked unconscious by the impact.

After being tormented by Xiaotian, the Supersonic Bat also woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xiaotian's expressionless cold face. The Supersonic Bat was so frightened that it flapped its wings and wanted to fly away - helplessly.

Xiaotian pinched his neck and could only shake in place.

"Please wait a moment. What happened?" Xiaotian asked calmly.

"Squeak! Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!!" [Ahhhhhh, don't hit me! I was wrong!!] Super Sonic Bat's tears were about to come out.

"?" Xiaotian raised his eyebrows in confusion.

The pitifully bullied Super Sonic Bat stammered about what happened - in fact, there was nothing to say. It was just that he rarely saw humans and found it novel, so he wanted to rush up and have a fight - and then

, without even seeing the person's face clearly, he was hit hard on the back of the neck, and before Xiaotian arrived, he lay unconscious on the ground.

"I understand, thank you."

Feeling the hand holding his neck loosen, the Supersonic Bat flapped its wings hurriedly and flew to the top of the cave, looking at the back of the silver-haired boy with lingering fear.

God, humans are really scary, qaq.

Super Sonic Bat secretly made up his mind never to provoke humans again.

Hey, speaking of which, did that human just understand what I said?

...it's really scary!

Xiaotian let go of the troublesome bat and stood there silently for three seconds before suddenly sighing.

I always feel that the guy in front does not need saving...

Of course, thinking about it, Xiaotian still hurried on at the original pace. After all, not all the levels in this ruins can be solved with force.

Not surprisingly, Xiaotian stopped in front of a stone wall blocking the way forward.

There are three levels of this kind called "Broken Road" in the ruins. Two stone walls trap the entrant in the narrow gap between the two walls. Only by changing the slate text on the wall of the previous wall in the correct order

Move and arrange them together to make the stone wall rise.

According to Supersonic Bat's description, it shouldn't take much effort for the child named Xiaoye to get here, and an hour would be enough. And it had been more than three hours since Xiaoye entered the ruins, and she was indeed trapped in this level.

Cracking this level requires a cognitive understanding of ancient writing, but very few people in modern times have mastered this skill, and a nine-year-old child is even less likely to have this knowledge.

It should be able to break the stone wall, but it might hurt the people inside.

Gently holding the small red and white ball on his waist, Xiaotian did not move rashly and stepped forward to knock on the stone wall to determine its thickness.

Just when Xiaotian raised his right hand, the stone wall in front of him suddenly trembled violently. When Xiaotian saw this, he immediately jumped back to avoid the falling dirt and dust.

The thick stone wall slowly rose with a roar.

Not only this one. At the front, the roadblock wall engraved with ancient characters also began to rise.

it is finally over……

The illiterate Xiaoye felt that this boring roadblock cracking game was more tiring than a fight. If there was another 5x5 word puzzle next, Xiaoye could be ready to give up treatment and dig a tunnel with her bare hands.

Amidst the deafening roar, Xiaoye suddenly caught the heartbeat and breathing of a living thing coming from behind.

Another wild Pokémon?

Xiaoye turned around, and what she saw was not the large supersonic bat she had imagined.

After staying in an environment without any light between two stone walls for nearly two hours, her eyes had adapted to the dark environment. When she suddenly saw the light, the brilliance of the candlelight behind her was as bright as the sun, even a little dazzling.

The young man with a cold face stood quietly against the light. His ice-blue pupils were clear and calm, and his silver hair, like moonlight, was scattered and dyed with a warm color under the candlelight.

A young man wearing a light-colored long windbreaker and bathed in bright golden light stepped forward step by step.

After finally adapting to the sudden light, Xiaoye finally saw the face of the visitor clearly.

...Huh? A girl? And so pretty.

Xiaoye was suddenly confused. Wasn't the entrance to the ruins blocked? Why did a strange girl suddenly appear?

——The future Xiaoye is very lucky that Xiaotian can’t read minds, otherwise they might have formed a grudge just after they met.

At the same time, Xiaotian was also looking at the guy who had been trapped in the dark cave for three hours.

He has purple hair and purple eyes, a white hooded sportswear, an ordinary appearance, and seems to be a little shorter than himself. Although he was trapped in the small and dark space for a long time, his expression was very calm, without a trace of panic.

and fear.

It seems that this young man is also a person with considerable skill and experience. Xiaotian made this definition in his heart.

——As a result, the atmosphere of the whole scene became inexplicably weird when the two people recognized each other's gender.

"Hello, who are you?" Xiaoye greeted the visitor with a smile.

Xiaoye could feel that this girl who appeared in a somewhat suspicious manner did not have any malicious intent and there was no need to be overly vigilant - she was confident enough and would never make a mistake in perceiving malicious intent.

"Dr. Omu, please ask me to take you out of here. Are you okay?"

Xiao Tianyan explained his purpose of coming briefly and concisely.

All the complicated words of comfort that had been prepared were thrown aside, leaving only a simple question. Xiaotian could see that the person in front of him did not need any comfort at all.

"Well, as you can see." Xiaoye replied lightly.

It was Xiaomao and the others who asked Dr. Ohki for help. Is it really okay to let a girl who looks the same age as himself come in? Although this question inevitably arises, considering that this is Dr. Ohki’s instruction, the situation in front of him is

This young rescuer must have extraordinary abilities.

For example - the high-end ball on her waist.

"Thank you for coming to help me. Sorry for causing trouble to you." Xiaoye smiled apologetically.

She trespassed into the ruins and needed rescue. I didn't expect that she would do such a naughty thing - although the main reason was force majeure.

"So...the entrance door is open?"

Since she came from the direction behind her, she must have opened the heavy stone door in some way.

"I can only open the door once." Xiaotian briefly explained the current situation. The key to activate the stone door was left outside the door, so naturally it could not be opened again.

"So keep going, there is an exit ahead."

"OK."

It can be seen from Xiaotian's affirmative tone that she probably has a certain understanding of this ruins - fortunately, the other exit that Xiaoye casually mentioned actually exists, otherwise she really wouldn't know how to escape.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Xiaoye, please give me some advice."

The pseudo-boy identified as a boy smiled and introduced himself to the real boy identified as a girl.

"Xiaotian, please give me more advice."

Xiaotian's answer was still concise and his tone did not fluctuate.

It turns out that this is the person Xiaozhi and the others talk about who often travels abroad. From their description, they thought Xiaotian was a boy. It seems that she was wrong.

Xiaotian's speaking attitude can easily be mistaken for being impatient or not welcoming others to approach, but Xiaoye has heard Xiaoyun and others tell a lot about Xiaotian. She knows that this girl named "Xiaotian" is just a comparison

A man of few words is by no means a cold person.

What's more, she is here to help him. You have to be grateful.

Taking a few steps forward, he noticed something unknown under his feet. Xiaotian lowered his head and froze for a moment.

With Xiao Ye as the center, the ground nearby was littered with rusty metal arrows and broken stone projectiles, and there was almost no place to stand on the surface of a mere few square meters.

"..."

Even Xiaotian, who had always been calm, couldn't help but be speechless. Using this method to get the correct answer...it was truly unprecedented and unprecedented.

Only at this moment did the little genius feel that his decision to come in was right. Otherwise, it would have been dark after Xiaoye solved all three levels with this method.

"Then, let's move on?"

"Um."

The "purple-haired boy" and the "silver-haired girl" walked side by side toward the depths of the ruins in the warm candlelight.

====================

small theater:

Xiaoye turned around, and what she saw was not the large supersonic bat she had imagined.

Xiaoye: (staring) [...Huh? A girl? And so beautiful. 】

Xiaotian: (eyelids twitching) [It seems like someone is saying bad things about me?...I think it’s an illusion.]

The gray-headed Supersonic Bat: (holding his head) Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [wwww............ ' ' qaqs!
