Elf: Sailing since being taken in by New Leaf Cat

Chapter 168 The secret of Beishang Township
Qiu Qing hid quietly in the coffin, listening to the approaching footsteps outside. He didn't even dare to kick, for fear that the other party would suddenly open the coffin board.

"Let's go quickly..."

He was shouting in his heart, but often the less you want something to come, but it comes anyway, and the footsteps stopped beside him!
Yes, it's such a coincidence... Maybe this is not a coincidence, maybe the other party really knows that there is someone here, so...

Qiu Qing suddenly had a bad premonition, but she was not afraid that the coffin board would be suddenly opened by the other party, but she was afraid that the other party would bury her along with the coffin in the pit that had been dug over there!

"do not!"

His heart jumped into his throat, but at this moment, footsteps sounded again, as if he only stayed here deliberately for a while and then left.

But Qiu Qing doesn't dare to relax. Often in those horror games or horror movies, when the ghost unexpectedly leaves the place where you are hiding, as long as you relax, the ghost will come back instantly.

really……

At this moment, the footsteps came back again, and there was not just one. The other footsteps sounded like they belonged to a Pokémon, and then the coffin he was lying on was lifted up by the other party.

"It's broken! You really want to bury me alive!"

He was about to push open the coffin lid and escape, but something even weirder happened. The coffin board, which he could easily pull open before, was now as heavy as a thousand pounds. No matter how hard he tried, it didn't work at all.

"Really... don't look down on me!"

Qiu Qing immediately controlled the ultimate hand, but at this moment, there was some unknown movement outside, and then the coffin fell directly to the ground, and the coffin board that could not be pushed away just now also fell. The phone rolled right out of it.

"what's the situation……"

He looked up subconsciously, as if he was seeing an illusion. Tiremiao unexpectedly came to him at some point, and not far away, an iron-skeletal native had lost his ability to fight and fell.

Obviously, this guy was carrying the coffin just now. There was also a taxi driver here, but he had also fallen...

"Meow~"

It's okay~
Tiremiao turned around, Qiu Qing couldn't hold it back and hugged her, almost crying.

"Cat Cat!!!"

"Meow……"

How old are you and you still cry...

Tiremiao shook her head, but the dream monster who followed him was very unhappy. He directly used his own strength to throw Qiu Qing out, and then he hugged Tiremiao and kissed the cat.

"Dream~"

"Meow……"

"What are you doing..."

Qiu Qing sat on the ground and couldn't understand, but he put all these things aside for the time being. What he wanted to know more now was what happened in this place and why the cats came here.

"Meow~"

Tiremiao waved her paw. Because she had gone out to investigate for so long, she didn't even come back for lunch. This was the first time that this happened, so Maomao took Dream Demon together to find it.

It should be said that it was thanks to the dream monster...

Because the dream demon is very familiar with the fragrance of cats, Qiu Qing's body was contaminated with the smell of Tiremiao, so she chased her all the way.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the warehouse, the owl outside took the initiative to attack them. This made Tiremiao instantly realize that something was wrong, so after defeating the owl, she immediately came in. I just happened to see a scene in the basement...

"Is that so..."

Qiu Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, and then told her side of the story. At the same time, she felt scared for a while. She was really almost buried alive. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen.

So there is really a problem in Beishang Township now. It is no wonder that Dolphin Man came here to investigate, but he disappeared. I am afraid he has been killed, right?
Thinking of this, he quickly looked at the ground in the basement and said, "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, there are probably corpses down there! Otherwise, there is no way that there are so many coffins here as decorations."

"Meow~"

You'll know this as soon as it happens...

Tiremiao pointed to a few locations. A total of eleven corpses were buried here, and basically only the skeletons remained, but there was one newly buried one.

"Dream~"

The dream demon nodded, and then floated to the newly buried coffin. Relying on its ghost-type characteristics, it dived directly, but soon flew up again, and then showed a strange look.

"Dream..."

"Meow?"

After hearing its words, Tiremiao was slightly startled, because the dream monster told it that the corpse showed signs of poisoning and the body was purple, but this was not the real cause of death. It did not know the specific cause of death. It might have been poisoned by a treasure. Kamu was killed.

"Meow……"

Tiremiao fell into silence. This kind of thing can be easily solved. As long as you find the Death God who recently took away the soul of the corpse, you can ask clearly.

But something strange is that in the past few days since coming to Beishang Township, Tiremiao didn't seem to feel that the god of death in charge of Beishang Township was just one day, but now it's been going on for several days...

Could something have happened?But this... is unlikely. Even if something happens to one of them, other Shinigami will soon come to take over. The work areas they are responsible for are generally not fixed.

Damn it indeed...

Tiremiao also feels that there is a big problem in Beishang Township. If possible, it is best to put aside the investigation of Dolphin Man's whereabouts first, or wait until after leaving here. Before figuring out what they are going to face, it is best to Don't mess around.

Listening to Maomao talking about this, Qiu Qing shook her head, then looked at the taxi driver lying on the ground over there, and continued: "I think we can continue the investigation. After all, isn't this about catching someone? Let him confess honestly. That’s the situation!”

"Meow……"

Tiremiao shook his head. It's useless. This human being is controlled by a strange force. I saw it when I came to the basement just now. The state of this human being is very strange, which means that he did not come back suddenly, but was controlled by something. I want to come back and want to get rid of someone hiding here.

"It's actually being controlled..." Qiu Qing was in trouble again. After pondering for a long time, she suddenly had a new idea and said with a smile: "Hey, that's not necessarily true. He was controlled just now and wanted to kill me. , but what about before? At least I was absolutely fine before I heard him answer the phone, so I just need to ask him what he was doing when he answered the phone, right?"

"Meow~"

Can have this!

Tiremiao nodded, but she certainly couldn't let the other party know, but it was not without a solution, so she looked at the Dream Demon and said that she would leave everything to it, believing that it would be very easy for the other party to do this little thing.

Like it, the Dream Demon has reached the first level with a max-level account, but the proficiency of all moves is still there. In other words, it is now a small Dream Demon, and it is fully proficient in the abilities of the Dream Demon, including Create illusions to torment your enemies...

"Dream~"

Seeing that Tiremiao was asking for help, Dream Demon agreed without even thinking about it. Then she flew in front of the taxi driver, her eyes instantly turned blue at this moment, and she used her ability.

At this moment, the taxi driver seemed to be affected by some force. He suddenly opened his eyes, held his head, and started talking nonsense.

"Meow~"

Tiremiao turned around and looked at Qiu Qing, saying that it would be better to just ask the other party directly.

Now the taxi driver is in a hallucination, so you only need to ask questions, and the dream demon will naturally make the questions appear in the other party's hallucinations and use some means to force and induce the other party to answer.

And all this is just an illusion. The other party will not be harmed in any way. Likewise, he will not remember these things after recovery, which is very convenient.

"Wow...that's awesome."

Qiu Qing nodded lightly. She really didn't expect the dream monster to have such ability. If that's the case, then he's welcome!
"Ahem... Just ask one question at a time. First tell me what's going on in this place."

"here it is……"

The taxi driver began to answer in his hallucination that the basement of this warehouse is a place dedicated to burying corpses, and these corpses are those who died in Beishang Township and had purple symptoms of poisoning in their bodies. They must be buried here!
Normally, they would only notify the police and family members of the victims to deal with it, but this cannot be done with these corpses, because the protagonist in the Crystal Light Pond incident that seriously affected the tourism industry in Beishang Township a few years ago did not drown in the pool, but was just like these people... …

"what?!"

Hearing this, Qiu Qing was shocked. So these were not accidents, but someone did it deliberately?what's going on?
"This one……"

The taxi driver continued talking. This situation seemed to be related to their legend in Beishang Township. It was said that hundreds of years ago, when the legendary evil spirits came to the village, they would use such methods to take away everyone's lives. , so that everyone dare not resist.

Later, the three treasure companions stepped forward and used their own lives to drive the evil ghost out of the village and sealed it in the ghost mountain. From then on, Beishang Township finally ushered in peace.

But since the incident happened a few years ago, everyone in Beishang Township thought of this legend and thought that the evil ghost had come out to cause trouble again.

Therefore, this warehouse and basement were built to bury the people killed by the evil spirits. This incident must not be spread, otherwise more serious things will happen, and the tourism industry in Beishang Township will also be more seriously affected. …

"That's how it is... So you left in a hurry just to bring a body and bury it here?"

Qiu Qing continued to ask.

The taxi driver nodded and responded: "Yes, this tourist sneaked to the top of Ghost Mountain, and then the patrol found his body halfway up the mountain... The Crystal Light Pond is a place you must not go, there are evil spirits there. Curse, anyone who goes there will be killed..."

"..."

Qiu Qing was lost in thought. I believed what she said. If they had never been to the Crystal Light Pond... they sailed down from there, but why didn't any problems occur?

No... isn't this just being targeted?It's not a curse, but there's something in the dark!
He thought of what he had just encountered, so he thought about it... why was he targeted, and what did he say?still……

"Could it be..."

Qiu Qing was stunned, and finally discovered the problem, that is, he had asked about Dolphin Man. The taxi driver said that he did not know about it at the time. This was definitely not false.

And the only person who told him the relevant content, and who said it in a weird atmosphere throughout the whole process, was... Grandma Mozawa!
Although I am not sure, the possibility is very high. If there is really a problem with Grandma Mozawa, then you must be careful in the future. After all, you can only buy things from there in Kitakami Township.

"The atmosphere in Beishang Township is really uncomfortable... There is no good person in relationships."

Qiu Qing shook his head. He still had many questions, but the taxi driver’s knowledge was limited, so he could only ask the last one...

"So after you buried the body and left, why did you suddenly come back here and then accurately identify the occupied coffin and want to bury it? Did someone ask you to do it? Or did you suddenly do it? Got this idea?"

Although we know that the other party is controlled, through this question, we should at least be able to ask some reasons or clues to find the enemy.

Regarding this question, the taxi driver was stunned. He seemed to have no impression, and even seemed to have no idea that he was back.

"I should have returned to town, and I didn't return to the warehouse at all..."

"Then you haven't met anyone along the way? Or Pokémon... As long as you think it's something suspicious, you can tell me!"

"This...it's true. Mother-in-law Mozawa from Momozawa store suddenly came to me to buy goods, and then she said she had something to do and gave up, and then..."

Seeing the taxi driver lost in thought, it seemed that everything that happened later had no memory. Qiu Qing roughly knew the plan, and his guess was indeed correct. There was a big problem with Granny Momozawa!
"Meow~"

Tiremiao looked here. Now that she has finished asking, has she decided on her next plan?Should you continue to stay in Beishang Township, or leave temporarily?After all, the spaceship can fly normally, and it is very easy to leave Beishang Township.

"Um……"

Qiu Qing touched his chin and fell into deep thought. He also knew that his current situation was not very good. A ship, a person, and two Pokémon... How could this be against the entire Beishou Township?Moreover, they are in the open and the enemy is in the dark, which is indeed dangerous.

But he still wants to investigate...

It’s a choice between two again, so what is the answer?He really hates doing multiple-choice questions.

"Well... let's stay for another day and then see what happens. Since the enemy has already attacked me, he must know that I have not been killed. If it continues to attack, leave here temporarily. If not, stay for a while. !”

Qiu Qing made her decision. After thinking about it, Tiremiao nodded. Anyway, everything depends on him, but what will happen next in the warehouse basement?Forget it, let's leave.

"Meow~"

Let's go back to eat!
