Pokémon: From Magikarp

Chapter 857 The Sound of Water Drops

"Buna Devouring Grass?"

Everyone naturally knew about this elf and was immediately shocked. Although this elf was not very strong among the nail elves, it was a special artificial ghost-origin elf after all, and its strength was by no means weaker than that of an ordinary king-level elf.

They really didn't expect that in this Qizhen City shrouded in darkness, someone could actually destroy it, and they couldn't even run away!

"They should be the Shenzhou team participating in the World Championship. They are staying in the shrine today. Only they have the ability to destroy the Buna Devouring Grass!"

Shui Wudeng pondered for a moment and said speculatively.

"The Shenzhou team? What a troublesome thing..."

Alpha frowned and muttered under his breath.

"In that case, we should hurry up and bring back the other elves. Gama, you take the others to the amusement park, and I will personally go find the ghost ship. As for here, Ipsilon (the fifth of the Big Dipper, corresponding to Yuheng), you and Shui Wudeng will take care of this place."

Whether out of caution or distrust of Shui Wudeng, Alpha left the last Beidou among the B2 who came here.

"Yes, I understand."

A black woman nodded and said, her natural protective color made her extremely low-key in the dark.

After giving their instructions, Alpha and Gamma left, and the originally bustling shrine suddenly became deserted.

"My injury still needs some treatment. I'll excuse myself for now. Fujiwara, come over and help me change the dressing."

Mizunoto bowed to Ipsilon, then reached out and spoke to Fujiwara Susumu who had been standing not far behind him.

"Okay, my lord."

Fujiwara Susumu nodded and hurriedly followed Mizunoto.

In the dim bedroom, shadows were reflected on Mizuwudeng's gloomy face. He said he was going to change the medicine, but he sat on the chair without moving, looking at Fujiwara Susumu without saying a word.

"How long have you been following me?"

Suddenly, Mizunodeng spoke in a low voice, and Fujiwara Susumu responded calmly without changing his expression.

"Seven years."

"Seven years! Even though you're my subordinate, Beidou Yaoguang, I've never treated you as one. You should be able to sense that."

Shui Wudeng continued speaking, his hand gently stroking the tea set on the table.

"Of course, I will never forget your love and care."

Fujiwara Susumu picked up the teapot, and the steaming tea fell accurately into the delicate white glaze teacup, instantly filling the air with fragrance.

"Then why did you attack that Xiyi flower? What do you want to do? Do you take me, a doctor, seriously?" Mizunodeng burst into emotions, looking at Fujiwara Susumu with cold eyes.

That's right, the culprit of the sudden riot of the Xiyi Flower that broke out tonight was Fujiwara Susumu. He came to the main shrine while Mizunoto was discussing the next research plan with Alpha and others, and then used inexplicable means to interfere with the mother plant of the Xiyi Flower.

That's what caused it to go out of control, causing the Xiyi flower to wreak havoc, darkness to descend, and the passage to the spiritual world to open. If Shui Wudeng hadn't been meticulous and prepared, no one else would have noticed it at all.

Listening to Shui Wudeng's questioning, Fujiwara Susumu remained unmoved. He calmly filled the cup with tea and slowly sat down on a chair beside him.

"Reina has been dead for five years."

Fujiwara Susumu's first words made Mizunoto silent instantly.

"I still remember that day five years ago, when Reina wore the scarf you knitted with your own hands and waved goodbye with a smile as beautiful as a flower, and she never came back. This scene has always lingered in my mind."

Fujiwara Susumu continued to speak, and Mizunoto also closed his eyes slightly.

……

"Dad, the scarf you knitted is so beautiful, as white as the clouds in the sky."

As she spoke, Reina Mizuno turned around in a circle.

"I'm glad you like it. My efforts over the past few days have not been in vain. I also wish you a happy birthday in advance, Reina."

Shui Wudeng's eyes were full of doting, his daughter had really grown up.

"Crack!"

There was a flash of light, and Fujiwara Susumu walked in with a camera and waved at Mizuno Reina.

“I accidentally captured a great shot.”

"Ah, Fujiwara-san, you're like this again!"

Mizuno Reina stamped her feet, but still had a smile on her face.

"Then I'll be leaving first. I'll be back early tonight. By the way, I want to eat glutinous rice balls today. Let's make them together then..."

After saying that, the girl waved her hand and ran to the door like a fly. In the bright sunshine, the girl turned around, smiled and left.

"Snapped."

The dull sound of tea dripping pulled Mizunoto out of his memories. Under the light, Fujiwara Susumu continued speaking.

"It's been five years, and you still can't tell me what happened to Reina? Is she dead or not?"

Fujiwara half-closed his eyes, the young and beautiful face in his memory had gradually become blurred. He really didn't want to wait any longer, nor did he dare to wait any longer. He was afraid that if this continued, one day he would completely forget what she looked like.

"I've been to Reina's grave, and it's just a cenotaph. She wasn't there at all. Since you're unwilling to tell me, I think I should find the answer on my own."

"But I still have one last question for you..."

"Is Reina's death related to the spirit world, the Xiyi people, and... you?"

Fujiwara's calm voice echoed in the empty room, but he did not get the answer he wanted. At this time, Mizuno had sorted out his emotions and returned to his calm appearance.

"You don't need to know about Reina's affairs. I am her father. I will never harm her. No way..."

After saying that, Shui Wudeng stood up and walked towards the door. He had been away for too long, which would inevitably attract Ipsilon's attention, but just as he reached the door, he suddenly turned around.

"If you really want to know the truth, go to the statue in the main shrine later."

After saying that, Mizunodeng left without looking back, leaving Fujiwara Susumu standing there in a daze. It was at this moment that he realized that after following Mizunodeng for so many years, he still didn't seem to understand this person.

……

"Tick tock..."

The sound of dripping water could be heard from time to time in the dark sky. Lin Shi and Shensi were walking on the way to the main shrine. Looking at the girl with a complicated expression beside him, he couldn't help but ask.

"Miss Shen...Miss Shensi, why are you here? And...aren't you afraid?"

As he spoke, Lin Shi turned his fingers. The Dragon Palace Shrine, which had been eroded by the Xiyi Flower, was no different from hell.

"Of course I'm not afraid. I'm very receptive. As for why I'm here, I'm a student from a nearby high school. I have exams to take and came to the shrine to pray."

As he spoke, the priest clasped his hands together, smiled at Lin Shi and explained.

"Oh? Is that so?" Lin Shi pursed his lips.

"It's only April now. I didn't expect your Sakura area exams to be so early."

After Lin Shi finished speaking, the priest bit his lip, waved his hands helplessly, and frowned slightly.

At this moment, the sound of dripping water became more and more obvious...
