While his thoughts were wandering, he tried to say something, but found that Furong had already come close to her, muttering "Sorry, let me take a closer look", and then raised her toes so that they were almost face to face, and could feel the breathing between each other's noses.
A very close look at his eyes.
The time is very short, maybe only two seconds.
When Kashiwagi frowned and took two steps back to distance himself, Furong also put down her heels, her brows filled with a rich smile and curiosity.
"Yeah~ I read it right. Your soul - like a snow-capped mountain, it emits silver light and gathers a halo-like cyan color. It is really special and beautiful. What is your name?"
At this time.
Bonnie, who was standing behind him, took the lead in saying hello.
"Kashiwagi!"
"...Bonnie King."
Kashiwagi's brows relaxed slightly, and he quickly nodded to him, feeling relieved in his heart.
Although the two selves had already merged into one and were indistinguishable from each other, and there might even be something magical like Su Hui's awakening, hearing such a sentence still frightened him to death.
Fortunately, he thought too much.
When Furong heard his name, the curiosity on her face quickly turned into surprise, and she said: "So you are Kashiwagi! My dear, I always mention you~"
Dawu-san! How many people have you talked to about me?
Too talkative!
Kashiwagi's heart was churning, and he never expected that the royal-sister-style Hibiscus in the special episode would actually look so "childish" against the background of the animation.
Then his eyes fell on the supervisor standing at the back.
Although most of what Fleur and Bonnie were doing was related to the Pokémon he acquired later, it was better to follow the original clues than to go and question him without knowing anything.
"Hello, I have something to ask you."
He bypassed Bonnie and came to the supervisor's side.
"Uh, me?"
The pot-bellied supervisor was startled, looked at the two kings and pointed at himself.
"Yes, I wonder if you have any impression of Room 1608?" Kashiwagi nodded while observing the supervisor's expression.
Unexpectedly, when the other party heard this room, his expression suddenly changed, and he said decisively: "1608? What 1608! There is no such room in Zijinshan Hotel!"
Um……
What's going on with this tone of "I know but I won't tell you"?
Are you acting in a TV series?
Kashiwagi was quite speechless when he looked at the supervisor who had a gloomy face but couldn't leave due to the presence of Furong and Bonnie. The so-called three hundred taels of silver in this place was nothing more than that.
Furong next to her looked at the supervisor and suddenly said: "Huh? Your soul seems to be trembling. Is there something wrong with room No. 1608? Isn't it a room you deliberately concealed?"
Bonnie didn't say anything, but she also cast a cold gaze.
"What, what's the problem? There's absolutely no problem!"
The middle-aged man waved his hands hurriedly, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Besides! Even if you two are kings, you don't have the right to dictate the hotel at will, right?"
"We have cooperated with your actions as much as possible. What can we do if we can't search? If this continues, it will hinder business operations. I am going to the alliance to complain!"
Although he talked a lot as if he was losing his temper, the three people present could see his stern expression.
Very easy to understand.
However, since the other party behaved like this, it was obviously difficult to find out by ordinary means.
Kashiwagi looked at Bonnie and Furong, hoping that they could find a way to pry Room 1608 out of each other's mouth.
They never thought that they would retreat when they heard that their supervisor was going to the alliance to complain.
"Uncle, you are really hard to talk to."
Furong scratched her face guiltily, looking quite troubled.
Bonnie frowned, lifted both sides of her dress politely, nodded and said, "Then let's stop here this time. Thank you for your help."
it's over?
Intimidated by a word?
Kashiwagi didn't expect that the word "complaint" could be so powerful. When he turned to his supervisor, he found that he was also surprised. He probably also didn't expect that his careless words in a hurry could get rid of the entanglement of the two kings.
As expected, it is unrealistic to expect others to do so.
Now I can only try to search for information on the Internet...
While he was thinking, Fu Rong's voice sounded in his ears.
"Kashiwagi-kun! It's getting late, let's go to dinner together! I have many things to ask you~"
"Hmm."
He looked at this brown-skinned girl who was probably the same age as him or even younger. He wanted to refuse but saw Bonnie nodding vaguely to him, and then changed her words, "...Okay."
The three of them left the hotel under the watchful eye of the supervisor.
——
Zijin Food Court.
Kashiwagi carried the big-mouthed baby to the next door, and said to Fu Rong who was opposite him rather uncomfortably:
"Is there something wrong with my face?"
"No, I was just thinking that Daigo would always talk about Kashiwagi's kiss. It really makes sense~"
Furong crossed her hands to support her chin, and her smiling appearance frequently attracted the attention of others.
relative??
Are you Taobao customer service?
Kashiwagi forced a smile and said: "Just call me by my name. By the way, King Boni, you are..."
"As you can see, I'm ordering."
Bonnie held the menu seriously, finally ordered a bowl of ramen and asked for a lot of toppings, then handed the menu over, "It's your turn."
"...Are we really here to eat?"
He reluctantly ordered two bowls of ramen, the extra-large and the regular ones, and selected some of the toppings he liked, before handing the menu to Hibiscus across from him.
"Which one should I choose?"
Fleur's eyes quickly scanned the menu.
Bonnie said calmly: "The situation just now is no longer suitable for questioning. The other party has changed from being cooperative at the beginning to being uncooperative. There must be something in it that makes him rather offend us than pay the price. There is no point in forcing it any longer.
.
"What's more, finding him this time is our private behavior. It would not be good if we were complained to the alliance. At least Furong will become very troublesome and will not be able to pass the evaluation at the end of the year."
As soon as she heard the word "evaluation", Furong picked up a chopstick and put it on her raised upper lip, complaining: "I obviously didn't do anything?"
"You just caused trouble for others. You really didn't do anything."
Bonnie turned her head and looked at her like she was looking at a younger sister who was in need of twitching. "So I have been saying that instead of focusing on improving the strength of Pokémon, you should get more contact with modern society and understand what common sense is."
Furong: "Cut~~~"
Kashiwagi on the opposite side was shocked, "The Four Heavenly Kings still have year-end assessments!"
"Champions also have assessments, which are set up to avoid misbehavior after they have mastered super high status and power." Bonnie said calmly, with a faint smile suddenly appearing on her face, "You will know later."
"..."
The corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, I heard someone say, what do you two seem to be looking for?"
"He's this kid's younger brother."
Fleur raised her hand, and a small Doron Mecia suddenly appeared in the air.
"Hehe~"
Doronmesia circled his wrist and looked at Kashiwagi sitting opposite. He noticed that the other person's eyes were quite friendly and he exuded a scent that made him feel relaxed, so he boldly moved closer.
"Hello!"
Kashiwagi smiled and waved to it.
Doron Mecia happily raised her little paws, and immediately flew directly to the latter's head and lay down.
"Hehe~"
Fleur was a little surprised, "It's amazing. You know, this child is very, very timid. When I met him, he hid and didn't dare to come out. But why did he get so close to you when I met him for the first time?"
"Well, maybe it's the power of blood."
Kashiwagi raised his head slightly and looked at Duolong Mexia with half of his head sticking out of his forehead. He turned to show it to the big-mouthed kid who was sipping oolong tea. After getting a look of disdain, he turned his head angrily and asked again: "Who is its younger brother?"
Captured by a poaching group or something?”
"No, he came to Zijin City from the spirit world on a ghost ship."
"...Spiritual world? Ghost ship?"
"right."
"The amount of information is a bit large."
He took a deep breath, "Why did this happen?"
"I'm not sure. I only know that there is an entrance to the spirit world in a certain room in the Zijinshan Hotel, but I can't find it. I'm so confused! It's probably No. 1608!"
Fleur said "Ah" and leaned down on the dining table, "It would be nice if I could ask the ghost, but if there are ghosts here, there won't be an entrance to the spirit world..."
Spiritual world.
A special world that first appeared in the Sinnoh arc, it is considered to be the habitat of human ghosts and ghost Pokémon, and is also considered to be the world after death.
Pokémon and ghosts often try to lure living people in. Xiaozhi and his group were once almost kidnapped by a ghost little girl.
But it's not the same place as the reverse world where Giratina lives in the anime.
In Fu Rong's mouth, it's like her own back garden. As expected of a powerful trainer and psychic who has lived in a place like the Sacred Mountain since she was a child, she is really not afraid.
"Ask about the wild ghost Pokémon nearby?" Kashiwagi suggested.
Fleur, who was slumped on the table, said in annoyance: "I can't ask. There are too many Rotoms in the purple pansy. They instinctively don't want to get close. Ah! Electronic ghosts will not go to the spirit world!"
She raised her index finger as if applying a patch and said.
Suddenly.
A tall night demon appeared from the shadow at her feet, attracting the attention of more other customers.
"Oh! You're back!"
Fleur saw the night demon immediately getting out of its melting state, "Did you find out anything from that uncle's mouth? Or find other ghosts?"
Did you send Pokémon out again?
Kashiwagi and Bonnie both looked at the big guy who suddenly appeared.
It's a pity that the Dark Night Demon shook his head.
It seemed that after they left, the supervisor did not go to room 1608 or mention the location of the room to anyone.
What to do?
Kashiwagi even began to think about whether to let Menas hypnotize him and ask him——
Of course that would be a crime.
Although he was ruthless when catching or bringing down the bad guys, he was not assimilated by them to the point where he would do anything to ordinary people to achieve his goals.
At this time.
The waiter came over with several bowls of ramen.
Bonnie silently took off her gloves and picked up the chopsticks to start eating. Seeing this, Kashiwagi had no choice but to put it behind her and wait until her stomach was full.
"Here, this is yours."
He brought the extra-large portion of noodles to the big-mouthed baby, piled all the toppings on it, and offered it a fork—chopsticks were too cruel for a Pokémon with only three fingers—and started eating himself.
Ordinary bowl.
Bonnie, who was diagonally opposite, was also facing the oversized bowl, sucking noodles at a speed that seemed elegant but was actually like a violent storm.
Furong played with her chopsticks while waiting for her seafood risotto.
Not long after.
Dinner is over.
Bonnie wiped her mouth gracefully, looked at Kashiwagi who was wiping the big-mouthed baby's mouth, and said, "What about you? Why are you looking for Room 1608?"
The latter, who had long been prepared to be questioned, pushed it directly onto the Zero fuselage, indicating that this inexplicable guy told him that there was something he wanted in the spiritual world.
Even Fleur and Bonnie couldn't see the flaws in the half-truth and half-false words.
"What do you want...what?"
"There is everything in the spiritual world, but it's not easy to bring it out."
The two of you talk to each other.
Kashiwagi continued: "What should we do next? Find other people at the Zijin Mountain Hotel and ask?"
"This is a way, but the best way right now is to ask Miss Junsha to help with official duties." Bonnie said flatly, and Fleur next to her made a long sound of "Eh--" with a depressed look on her face.
What's wrong with going on official business?
He was a little puzzled.
Bonnie saw his doubts and said: "For official business, we need to write a written report in person and then submit it to the alliance for approval, which is more troublesome. However, the matters at Zijinshan Hotel are not official business, and Miss Junsha will probably do the same.
I can’t help you. By the way, you can write the report.”
This sentence is for Fleur.
Then Furong became even more depressed.
Kashiwagi saw it and felt that the Four Heavenly Kings' attempt to rely on official power was too much, restricting their power to such an extent.
Then he raised his head slightly and found that Doron Mecia had fallen asleep on his head at some point, and even started snoring——
I am not Doronqi or Doronbaruto!
He reached out and wanted to take it off, but after thinking about it he decided not to do it.
——
Two hours later.
Kashiwagi and others came to Zijinshan Hotel again.
It's just that compared to when they went there, they brought one more Miss Junsha with them this time.
Bonnie said earlier that it would be troublesome, and Kashiwagi thought it would take a day or two for approval. Unexpectedly, the report was approved within ten minutes of typing it up.
Surprisingly fast.
It’s just that Furong’s written report took a long time to write.
To be fair, it was the first time he had seen people living in mainstream areas whose written language was worse than his, and so was their handwriting.
Inexplicably, it feels a bit reassuring.
Trainers and Pokémon do not seem to be synonymous with being strong and educated.
When he saw Miss Junsha, the supervisor also had a look of despair on his face. He muttered "I know it, I know it" and honestly told the inside story about Room 1608——
The story begins with the predecessor of Li Zijin.
Long before it was built, the Zijinshan Hotel was one of the owners of this land. At that time, the Zijinshan Hotel and Dazijin Holdings were subsidiaries and parent companies. The decline and bankruptcy of the latter also affected the
Zijinshan Hotel.
Fortunately, relying on several characteristics such as its long-established reputation and popularity, the hotel managed to survive.
But the hemp rope is cut at the thinnest part, and fate always finds the unlucky man.
Before the hotel could regroup, a strange thing happened. An unlocked room No. 1608 appeared inexplicably on the first floor.
A curious guest pushed the door in but fainted on the spot. When he woke up, he found himself lying in the corridor. All memories of Room 1608 disappeared, leaving only a vague shadow.
They managed to reconstruct the situation with the help of the surveillance at the time, and confirmed that there was indeed room No. 1608 on the wall that was supposed to be empty.
This room appeared several times later, and each time the guests who checked in were knocked unconscious, but no one from the hotel could encounter it.
The hotel hired a psychic but couldn't figure out the problem with room 1608.
In the end, we had no choice but to let it go, and the business of Zijinshan Hotel also plummeted, completely unable to recover.
Fortunately, with the completion of the construction of Li Zijin, room No. 1608 has never appeared again in the rebuilt Zijinshan Hotel, and business has resumed.
This room has also become a taboo for hotel staff, and anyone who dares to reveal it will be directly fired.
The front desk was built later, so I don't know the existence of Room 1608.
The supervisor thought that if the Four Heavenly Kings brought Miss Junsha to ask, it would definitely not be his responsibility, so he revealed it, and now he felt much more comfortable.
"Sure enough... it's the entrance to the spiritual world."
