Pokémon: World of Wonder

[Master! You must not walk sideways! ]

[In the spirit world, if you make some strange movements, you will attract some fierce ghosts! ]

Jiang Ye's mouth curved into an arc, [You misunderstood what I meant. What I meant was, with your strength, can you protect me even if I run around in the spirit world? ]

[Ah, ah, so this is what it means to walk sideways. Actually, that’s not the case, Master. My strength in the spirit world can only be considered as being in the middle to lower levels.]

[The master must be extremely careful in the spirit world, because the ghosts in the spirit world do not have a fixed territory, and basically wander around aimlessly within the territory of the spirit world. ]

[The owner does not need to be afraid of ghosts with missing limbs, but if you encounter a ghost with intact limbs or many limbs, you must quickly avoid it. ]

[In the spirit world, the more limbs a ghost has or the more complete its limbs are, the stronger it will be. ]

Is that so? Jiang Ye hesitated for a moment, holding the purple flag pole in his hand, looking around for the next purple flag indicator, and asked another question in his heart.

[Ahua, do you know how ghost-type Pokémon were born? ]

[Well... I don't know about other places, but Master, Hua knows how Pokémon in the spirit world are born. ]

[In the spirit world, as long as you are a soul with intact limbs, the longer you stay in the spirit world and the more spiritual power you absorb, your soul will change under the influence of the spiritual power.]

【Then depending on the cause of your death, you may be transformed into some type of ghost Pokémon. 】

[For example, if you died in a fire or other fire-related disaster, you will most likely be transformed into a ghost-type Pokémon such as Candlelight. If you died from poison, you may be transformed into a Gastly-type Pokémon.]

[Those who died in a plane crash may become the Floating Ball type, those who died of mental fear may become the Dream Demon type or the Shadow Doll type, those who died of suffocation may become the Crying Mask type, and those who died of earthquakes may become the Sand Dune Doll type.]

[However, based on my previous observations in the spirit world, I found that most of them were transformed into night patrol spirits, and then slowly grew into dark night demon spirits to go to the human world to extradite dead souls.]

[…Then can the spirit world accommodate so many night patrol spirits?] After hearing Hua Yanguai's introduction, Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask this follow-up question.

[Every once in a while, those with poor performance will be decomposed and used to stabilize and expand the size of the spirit world. When I was in the spirit world, a good friend of mine was decomposed in this way.]

Jiang Ye was chatting with the Flower Rock Monster while heading towards the next purple flag, not noticing that his shadow in the unknown dusk light, a pair of red-orange eyes with light yellow suddenly appeared.

Jiang Ye walked along the purple flags for several days, during which time he encountered many magical ghosts.

There is a deaf old man with a stick, a little boy who eats and grows taller and eats more, and keeps eating his own hands, fluttering red clothes, a chrysanthemum with a jagged butt, and so on.

What surprised Jiang Ye the most was a ghost that looked like a mountain of flesh. Its body was covered with limbs of various creatures. It kept rolling like a ball, and all the ghosts it encountered along the way were swallowed and merged into it.

According to Huayanguai, this kind of ghost is the scavenger of the spirit world. Whenever there are too many ghosts wandering in the spirit world, it will come out to clean them up and finally stop in one place and remain motionless.

Until a large number of ghosts swarmed in and devoured all the ghosts that had merged into its body. Anyway, every time this ghost stopped, it would be a feast where thousands of ghosts devoured each other.

And it continues like this until some powerful enough ghost spirits transform into ghost-type Pokémon.

According to the local time on the communicator, Jiang Ye is now on his third day in the spirit world. Thanks to the escort of the Flower Rock Monster and Jiang Ye's caution, he has not been discovered by any powerful ghosts along the way.

However, Jiang Ye was caught in a situation at this time. There were two positions marked by the next purple flag, but one of them looked very new, as if someone had just inserted it there.

Then the other one looked a little old, as if it had been there for many years, and there were even a few scratches and holes on the flag.

The directions of these two flags are completely opposite, which is what Jiang Ye is currently hesitating about.

[Ahua, which way do you think we should go? ]

[Well, Master, Ah Hua doesn’t know either.]

[Well, let’s go to the new side instead of the old. ]

Jiang Ye was about to take a step when he suddenly found that he had lost control of his body. The leg raised in the air just stopped there, like a living wooden sculpture.

His body uncontrollably stood back to its original position, and then turned in the direction of the tattered purple flag.

[Ahua! My body was out of control just now! Did you find anything? ]

At this moment Jiang Ye was standing there, feeling a little frightened. So far, he had not let any ghosts from the spiritual world get within one meter of his body!

how so? !

【ah? ! 】

Hua Yanguai was also confused. She had been sensing the spirit world the entire time since she entered it, but she didn't feel any ghosts approaching at all?

[But Master, why did I feel like everything was normal just now? ]

everything is normal?

Jiang Ye moved his limbs tentatively out of suspicion. When he felt that there was nothing wrong, he turned around tentatively. This time there was nothing wrong. What happened?

Jiang Ye turned around in a circle and found that there was indeed no problem. He was confused. Was it because he was too sensitive?

[Well, Ah Hua, how about this, you go behind me and become graffiti, and help me watch my blind spot. ]

【OK. 】

As he spoke in his mind, the Flower Rock Monster suddenly turned into a ball of mysterious sticky substance and slid onto the empty back of Jiang Ye's coat, turning into graffiti that looked very much like street spray paint.

Jiang Ye took out a bottle of gold-edition insect repellent spray and sprayed it all over his body. Then he put all the exorcism talismans that he had bought for his parents on the third floor of the Soul-Calming Tower on his body.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ye looked up at the purple flag that looked very new and was about a kilometer away, and took a step forward.

Jiang Yetun looked around and found that nothing had happened, then he took the second step tentatively.

Jiang Ye heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that there seemed to be no problem. Jiang Ye was about to continue walking, but he did not expect that the flower rock monster's cry sounded in his heart.

[Master! Master! There is a ghost hiding in your shadow! ]
