Chapter 226 Forest Mansion
(Hello, dear readers, I am Alpaca again. I will continue to post some posts when I have some time.)
(Alas, I haven't written for a long time, and I don't know if anyone is still reading it. If you have any questions, please feel free to @羊兔哦, I will modify it as soon as I see it.)
Here, after participating in the fashion competition, Xiaoyun and her friend continued their journey.
A few days later, at night.
Just when the two thought they were going to continue camping, a villa that looked like a manor came into view with a few large words written on it.
"Forest Mansion"
So Xiaoyun and the others walked into the brightly lit Mori mansion, the luxuriously decorated living room, and a portrait hanging on the stairs, who seemed to be the owner of the house.
Looking at the empty hall, Xiaoyun called out, "Hello, is anyone here?"
"Everyone, what's the matter?"
After a moment, a thin-faced man dressed as a butler walked down the stairs and asked in a gentle tone.
Xiaoyun stepped forward after seeing someone, "Hello sir, we are trainers passing by. Can we stay here for one night?"
"No problem, please come with me."
Seeing that the butler agreed to Xiaoyun's request without asking, he invited the two of them upstairs.
Although Xiaoyun felt a little strange, she still followed Xiaoguang.
When walking through the attic, the eyes of the characters in the paintings hanging in the corridor suddenly flashed a captivating red light, and their eyes began to move.
Then the housekeeper took Xiaoyun and the other person to a room on the second floor. After they entered the room, the housekeeper said, "Please stay here. The food will be ready soon. Please wait for a moment."
"Thank you, please."
Afterwards, Xiaoyun thanked him and the housekeeper closed the door.
However, they did not notice that the moment the door closed, a strange smile appeared on the butler's thin face.
"After twenty years, someone finally came."
inside the room.
"Xiao Yun, it's great in here, and the bed is so big."
Xiaoguang looked at the luxuriously decorated room and touched the soft big bed with an excited expression. It was the first time for her to stay in such a luxurious room.
But Xiaoyun didn't care about the comfort of the room. He just felt that the butler's attitude was strange.
Yes, it is strange. Not only did they not ask them too many questions but they took them back to the room and asked the waiter to prepare meals for them. This... should not be the attitude towards strangers.
"Xiaoyun, something's wrong here."
At this moment, Darkrai's voice also sounded in Xiaoyun's heart.
"Darkrai, did you find out too?"
Xiaoyun also communicates with Darkrai telepathically.
"Anyway, this place gives me a weird feeling. Wait a minute, I need to explore it carefully."
Darkrai said again, then transformed into a dark shadow and sneaked into the villa.
After Darkrai left, Xiaoyun continued to observe the interior of the room, and then accidentally bumped into the bookshelf, and a book fell out.
"What's this."
Xiaoyun picked up the fallen book, which was a diary to be exact. It looked like it had not been opened for many years and was covered with a layer of dust.
Xiaoyun dusted it off and opened it.
"On March 3th, it was purely by chance that I got the information about Pokémon Rotom, and I started researching it."
"April 4th. After several studies, I discovered that Rotom has the ability to enter and merge into electrical appliances. It can almost permanently merge into an appliance. However, if it enters an online or wireless mode, it will return to its original form. This Pokémon requires detailed observation and analysis."
"On May 5, I discovered once again that Rotom is highly compatible with all kinds of electrical appliances. Perhaps Rotom will become the mainstream in the future, and with this discovery, they will regard me as a genius researcher, Ming..."
"On July 7, Chi Ri actually invited me to join his team to create a world. What an interesting idea..."
"On July 7, I have made up my mind that the Rotom Project will be put on hold for now, but this research must remain confidential, so I will hand Rotom over to my butler, who will keep it safe."
"Rotom, Red Sun, and Team Galaxy."
Xiaoyun looked at the text above, her heart was in turmoil. She didn't expect that someone had discovered the function of Rotom decades ago. You know, the complete information of Rotom was only announced in recent years.
And this researcher is actually connected to the leader of the Galaxy Team, Chi Ri. Researcher Pluto, this...could he be the doctor of the Galaxy Team, Pluto?
So what is this place...
"Excuse me, the food is ready."
While Xiaoyun continued to think, the housekeeper's voice sounded from the door.
Xiaoyun opened the door and saw that it was still the gentle butler. Although she was confused, Xiaoyun did not intend to ask any further questions for the time being. She and Xiaoguang followed the butler to the hall.
On the dining table in the hall, there are all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, including oversized Boston lobster, crispy grilled salmon, juicy and delicious braised beef in red wine, as well as desserts such as tiramisu and apple pie.
The variety of food was no less than that of the Seven Star Restaurant they had been to before, which shocked Xiaoyun and Xiaoguang.
"Mr. Butler, we are just staying for one night. This... is too polite."
"Yes, these are really rich and will cost you a lot of money."
"It doesn't matter. We rarely meet people in this manor, so we naturally need to prepare carefully."
Facing Xiaoyun and the others' questions, the butler just waved his hand indifferently and spoke meaningfully.
"Please enjoy your meal, two guests who have come from afar."
After the butler finished speaking, Xiaoyun and the other man thanked him and sat down. Just as they were about to use their knife and fork to take the food, they were interrupted by the butler.
"Hey, you two, what are you doing?"
"Uh, eat."
Looking at the unhappy butler, Xiaoyun thought that he had violated etiquette and replied uncertainly.
"There's food on the plate in front of you. It's the rule of the manor that you have to finish what's on the plate before eating anything else."
The butler folded his hands and rested his chin on them. His tone was a little indifferent, and his eyes were filled with strange fluctuations.
An invisible wave spread from the butler's body.
"Isn't this an empty plate? How can it be..."
Just as Xiaoyun was about to retort, she suddenly felt dizzy. When she opened her eyes again, she saw that the empty plate was suddenly filled with delicious food.
This made Xiaoyun rub his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong, or if there was food in the first place?
If there were people at this time, they would notice that Xiaoyun and Xiaoguang had dull eyes, as if they had lost focus.
"Xiaoyun, Xiaoguang, stop!"
Snapped!
So when Xiaoyun and the other person were about to eat the food under the strange expression of the butler, Darkrai's figure quickly appeared in front of them and smashed the plate.
Looking closely, there was no food at all; it was just an empty plate.
Xiaoyun looked at Darkrai blankly and said, "Darkrai, you threw away all the food. This is a waste."
"Is this, hypnosis?"
After just a glance, Darkrai realized that something was wrong with Xiaoyun. He then gathered dark energy and passed his palm in front of Xiaoyun and Xiaoguang.
"untie!"
