No.102 Respond to your kindness with my sincerity
"Hello, I'm disturbing." Xiaoling quickly put away her previous casualness, said hello to the young man in a regular manner, and quietly looked up at the young man's familiar face.
"Hello." Aliya's eyebrows were curved and her smile looked at Xiaoling, "Are you... the child of Xia Yang's family?"
"Yes!" I wondered if I had thought of something, Xiaoling nodded and agreed very simply, without any intention of hiding it. "I am Xiaoling, Xia Yangling, please give me some advice."
The young man smiled and shook hands with the girl, "I am Aliya Galax, please give me some advice."
Perhaps because of the same relative etiquette, Alia also issued her full name. Saya had no impression of the surname "Galax", but there were many Western surnames, and it was normal that they had never heard of them.
"Mr. Aliya is not a member of the Guandu area, right?" Although the current society has long entered a period of intersection of ethnic groups, there are still few people named Western names in the Guandu area.
"That's right." Alia nodded, "My hometown...is to the west of the Chengdu area."
Although Aliya's answer was a little blurry, Xiaoling seemed to bend her eyes with satisfaction and stopped asking.
Turning around and looking at the top, the blonde girl scratched her head, "It seems that nothing special..."
"?" Xiaoye and Alia showed a puzzled expression together.
"Just on the third floor just now, a prayer master told me, 'The huge ominous aura on the top floor has been driven away by the white representing light. You can go there with peace of mind'." Xiaoling lowered her voice and imitated the prayer master's mysterious tone, "I thought something was wrong at the top floor."
"It's not a big deal, I just met a resentful spirit." Xiaoye smiled and explained.
"So that's it, it's just a resentful spirit..." Xiaoling nodded, then suddenly froze and turned around in surprise, "Resentful spirit?!"
After telling what happened before, Xiaoling also showed a sigh.
The Galagala trainer who was willing to stand up for the wild Pokémons he had never known each other was enough to show that he was a very righteous person. And such a kind boy would turn into a hurtful resentment - you can imagine how desperate and painful he was when facing a poacher.
"I have heard some of the resentful spirits talk about. They are indeed very dangerous creatures." It seemed that I felt the chill in the spirit bone tower. Xiaoling, who was also thin in clothing, had already tied the buttons of the beige short-sleeved jacket.
"Don't worry about your words. As long as you don't rashly contact the vengeful spirits, they won't hurt you." Alia comforted softly, "The vengeful spirits usually do not actively approach the superpowers."
"That's right." Xiaoling smiled and pounced on Xiaoye's back, and Pichu was so shocked that she jumped into Alia's arms, "It's great that Xiaoye, you haven't been killed--"
Kill...
Xiaoye was immediately ashamed, "It's okay, I'm confident when I run away..."
"Next time I encounter this kind of thing, call me! Look at me, I use my thoughts to knock them away-"
Holding the furry little Pichu, Alia couldn't help laughing.
The three of them wandered among the neatly arranged stone tablets. The temperature at the top of the Spirit Bone Tower, which had been removed from the resentful spirits, seemed to have risen, and several ghosts were floating aimlessly nearby.
"Speaking of it, Xiaoling, what did you do in the rescue center before?" Xiaoye asked casually.
Xiaoling took out a red and white ball, "I convinced this child to go with me."
Looking closer, Karakara's vague figure stunned Xiaoye.
"Is it the Karakara in the rescue center?" Aliya seemed to know the young son's experience and looked at Xiaoling in surprise. "I have tried to communicate with it before, but it has no effect at all. How did you do it?"
"Actually, nothing special was done." Xiaoling smiled and blinked. "I asked it, 'Do you want to go with me? I will avenge them with you'. Then, the child took the initiative to challenge. Before coming here, I went to the Pokémon Center to treat it, so it came so slowly."
Alia nodded thoughtfully. The trainer and mother were both killed in front of her eyes. Such an encounter must have left a serious psychological shadow on Karakara. However, Xiaoling's appearance changed its self-enclosed state - the key to untie its spiritual shackles is not only Xiaoling's words, but this bright and open atmosphere may also be one of the reasons.
It seemed to be a bit like a certain vice captain who was always very energetic. Staring at the gray and black ceiling on the top of the tower, Alia let out a low chuckle.
In the center of the open space on the top floor of the Spirit Bone Tower, a stone tablet that was one person high was placed, which recorded the history of the Spirit Bone Tower. The three of them were not very interested in this, so they looked around and walked down the stairs together.
"Let's go out together. Staying here for too long is harmful to your body." Aliya said as she went downstairs.
Xiaoye hesitated to look at the seat where Aliya was kneeling before. There is no doubt that it was the movement from the resentful spirit that interrupted Aliya's worship. Maybe it would be better not to continue disturbing him?
"It's okay." The thoughts continued, and the young man's gentle voice came from his head with a smile, "The prayer just now has ended."
Xiaoye looked up and a ball of furry yellow was handed to him, "I'll give it back to you."
Looking at Pichu with a confused look on his face, Xiaoye smiled and put the electrical mouse back on his shoulder, "Well, let's go."
I don’t know if it was related to the expulsion of the vengeful spirits, but the ghost-type Pokémon in the Spirit Bone Tower became much more active. As we walked down the stairs, all kinds of pranks were almost uninterrupted, and Sylver’s inspection mirror was never taken off again.
"Everyone is so enthusiastic~" Xiaoling happily opened her arms to greet a smirking Geng's bear hug.
"Your illusion is very useful." Alia smiled and touched Ghost Stone's head.
“…”
Looking at the ghost flying all over the sky, Xiaoye took two steps back with a wooden expression. This scene... it is not normal to understand who it is.
When he reached the third floor, the solemn girl prayer bowed deeply to Alia.
"Thank you for your assistance." The girl's dark hair fell down with her bowing action. "The power under her is too weak to drive away the ominous things entrenched on the top. It is your powerful force that restored the cemetery to peace and thanks for it."
The girl's prayer master's overly formal attitude made the young man in white wave his hand quickly, saying that what he did was not worth mentioning. It was not until he had to accept the girl's thank-you gift - a peach wood sign that the three of them were able to escape.
The peach wood card is a prop that is supported by the prayer master. Xiaoling can feel the soft and quiet mental power from it. This may be the most precious gift that a girl who has not yet completed her cultivation can give.
When the three of them walked back to the first floor of the Spirit Bone Tower, the feeling of depression and cold that enveloped their bodies disappeared immediately. All tombstones were placed above the second floor, and the materials used to build the Spirit Bone Tower were also types that blocked the mental power, so the power of the soul would not penetrate downward easily.
"The ground is the territory of the living" - Alia said.
"Welcome back!" Grandma Ghost showed a big smile to the three of them. On the side, Grandma Ghost was busy stuffing the royoyaki into her mouth, staring at her eyes and making a vague sound.
"I heard from Xiao Shiru, young man, is it you who helped to drive away the resentment?"
"Yeah, yes."
"Thank you so much, so I don't have to find a spirit-removing master." Grandma Ghost stuffed the bulging package into Alya's arms, "For you, this is a thank you! Fresh Doroyaki!"
"That, no need..."
"If you ask you to take it, don't be so polite. Come on, you two children will also take a few!"
"Hey? But we didn't help any good things..."
"Hurry up and take it, Old Fuji gives us two such boxes of Toroyaki, and we can't finish it."
“But, but…”
"No, but!"
“…”
After a storm, the three of them stood at the door of the Spirit Bone Tower with a large bag of royaki in their arms, looking at each other.
"I'm a little embarrassed like this." Alia smiled extremely helplessly.
Xiaoling tried hard to free up one hand and shook it, "There is no choice, and I can't refuse it. It's done for lunch."
Xiaoye's Pichu couldn't wait to chew on the snacks in his mouth and nodded randomly to respond to Xiaoling's words.
============================
Small theater:
Xiaoling: (Smile) Actually, I didn't do anything special. I asked it, "Do you want to go with me? I will avenge them with you." Then, the child took the initiative to challenge.
Aliya: (nodding repeatedly) So that's it. [The key to untie its spiritual shackles is not only Xiaoling's words, but this bright and open air may also be one of the reasons.]
