Chapter 138 The Old Man, the Dog, and the King's Evidence

"Then I'd be rude." Luo Mu cleared his throat and said softly: "Excuse me, have any of your Pokémon reached their life limit or died of illness in recent years?"

Luo Mu's question almost made Lila and Budi freeze up. This is a sensitive issue, and it is completely exposing other people's scars. It is not surprising that someone with a bad temper is beaten and kicked out.

Tran was stunned for a moment, seeming to have remembered something, and his expression turned slightly sad: "You should know that I am a ranger. After I married my wife when I was young, I have been committed to protecting the environment and Pokémon for a long time. In my dream, I often go out for ten and a half months to fight against poachers.”

"After returning home one time, I saw the profile of my wife holding back her loneliness, and I suddenly realized that I had failed to fulfill my duties as a husband. Later, I rescued a paparazzi after a ranger activity. , and gave it to his wife to raise.”

"My wife liked it very much and named it "Dou Ding". Paparazzi was rescued by me from the research institute. He was subjected to many experiments by bad people, so his health was never very good. On a winter night three years ago, Douding still could not survive the winter and left due to illness. wife. "

"After seeing my wife in tears, I chose to reduce my patrol duties and spend less time with her."

After Trang told the story of their couple's past, the room fell into silence for a short time.

Budi had begun to secretly wipe away tears, Lila was also feeling a little emotional, and Luo Mu also knew the deeper reason why Trang was unwilling to take action.

Although he felt sympathy for Trung's wife, Luo Mu did not forget about the business. Now that all the intelligence had been collected, he asked in his mind: "System, is there something wrong with my thinking?"

[No problem, host]

Luo Mu has been thinking about what role the system can play for him today. Apart from treasure hunting, this reminder that can help him reduce trial and error steps is probably the most useful, and can help him solve all the trivial things that may hinder him.

And all he needs to do next is to use his strength.

After temporarily calling Telang and Lila out of the cabin, and letting Budi take care of Telang's wife, Luo Mu said to them calmly: "I already know the cause of your wife's illness, Mr. Telang."

Trang originally wanted to refuse Luo Mu's invitation to travel with him, so calling him out specifically was usually just for this kind of thing, right?

But Luo Mu's voice made Telang stunned, and then he involuntarily raised his feet to approach Luo Mu, put his hands on Luo Mu's shoulders, and stammered: "You really know!?"

Lila was a little confused. How did Luo Mu know?

Luo Mu nodded slightly and said calmly: "Mr. Telang, before your wife became ill in bed, did she have more smiles on her face, or her mood became better, and she often stayed outside the house?"

Trung was startled and recalled carefully that he occasionally left home to go down the mountain to do shopping, or that he would briefly finish the ranger work for a day. His wife's smiling face would greet him every time he came home.

He thought it was because he spent more time with her after Douding left, so she showed more smiles.

"Indeed. There is nothing wrong with what you said."

Under Lila's wide-eyed gaze, Trang nodded slowly.

At this time, he suddenly felt that this young man was a bit scary. He had obviously not mentioned these things, but the other party knew so many things.

Lila couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Luo Mu, what do you mean, do you want Doudin to become a ghost-type Pokémon?"

Luo Mu nodded, then shook his head: "Yes, maybe not. Look there."

Luo Mu pointed to the location where he first found the candle still burning during the day.

The candle had no intention of burning out and was still burning.

Lila looked in the direction of Luo Mu's finger and frowned: "Is the candle light effective?"

Luo Mu didn't speak, but Te Lang's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "That should be the candle on the head of the tomb dog?"

Lila was not familiar with the Pokémon in the Padia region. On the contrary, as a ranger, Trang, who lived in Freezer Town, was somewhat familiar with the names and characteristics of these Pokémon.

Trang couldn't help but move closer. After approaching the candle for a certain distance, the Pokémon hiding in the snow seemed to notice it. A strange cry sounded out, a very ethereal barking sound.

Then, the Pokémon under the snow suddenly jumped out, seemingly wanting to scare Trang.

If it were a snowy night, passers-by who didn't know the truth about this behavior might be scared, but it was daytime now, and the Pokémon's identity had been revealed by Trang.

Gravepuppies, ghost-type Pokémon, seem to like scaring people, but in fact this is their attempt to attract human attention.

This Pokémon has a gentle and affectionate personality and is afraid of loneliness. It is famous for being the most suitable ghost-type Pokémon as a companion.

The tomb boy tilted his head and stuck out his tongue, as if wondering why Trang didn't respond.

Under the silent gazes of Luo Mu and Lila, Trang slowly squatted down as if he was afraid of scaring away the tomb dog, and said in a trembling voice: "Douding. Is it Douding?"

"Woof woof!"

As if hearing the key words, the tomb dog's eyes lit up and he barked several times in response.

Tran's eyes suddenly turned red.

"No wonder I prescribed energy-replenishing medicine for Mrs. Meira several times but it didn't work. So that's it."

The doctor looked at the Grave Dog, who was held in Trang's arms but whose eyes could not stop wandering around Mela on the bed, and suddenly realized.

Judging from the size of the Grave Dog, it was obviously a newborn ghost Pokémon, and it even coincided with the time when Mrs. Mela fell ill.

At this time, the Grave Dog was difficult to control itself, and almost unconsciously absorbed the energy of contacting humans.

Although I don't know why Mrs. Mela would contact the Grave Dog without telling Mr. Trang, no matter how strong the medicine he prescribed was, it couldn't deal with this situation!

Looking at Trang, the doctor advised: "Just don't let the Grave Dog contact Mrs. Mela for the time being, and she will regain consciousness after a period of recuperation."

Trang nodded seriously, and the Grave Dog seemed to know that it was he who made Mela sick, and lowered his head in shame.

After the doctor left, Trang seemed to have pushed away a huge stone that was pressing on his heart. He took a long breath and bowed to Luo Mu and Lila, saying, "Thank you for helping me find the cause of Mela's illness and even helping me find Douding."

"You're welcome. We also need your help."

Lila stepped forward and helped Trang up.

"You're right." Trang's cloudy eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and his voice suddenly became more serious. "Since Mela's strange disease has been solved, I have no worries. Then I will help you climb the highest peak of Frost Mountain. Hunter J's notoriety must be captured as soon as possible."

Seeing that Trang agreed to the request for assistance, Lila and Buddy couldn't help but show joy on their faces.

And Luo Mu was startled by what Trang suddenly stuffed into his hand.

It was a crown-shaped object. Luo Mu recognized it. This was the king's certificate he was considering looking for for Mosquito Incense!

Seeing Luo Mu's doubtful expression, Trang smiled and said, "You not only helped me find the cause of Mela's illness, but also helped us find Douding who was reincarnated as a ghost-type Pokémon. This favor is really too great. Please accept this small gift of thanks to make me feel a little better."

".I understand."

Luo Mu hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to accept it.

"Great, then I will go and prepare the equipment needed to climb the highest peak of Frost Mountain later."

Trang showed a happy face and walked into the room with his hands behind his back.

Buddy, who took over the task of taking care of old lady Mela during Trang's absence, suddenly came over and asked curiously, "Is the tomb dog really the reincarnation of the paparazzi Douding? This is too romantic!"

Lila also cast a curious look over, obviously she was also curious.

However, Luo Mu just smiled mysteriously and shook his head, saying, "It doesn't matter."

For Tran and Mela, as long as they feel and believe that the tomb dog is the reincarnation of the paparazzi Douding, it is enough. This is their comfort to their hearts and the redemption of hoping to meet the paparazzi Douding again.

As for whether the tomb dog really has a memory of the name "Douding". Or maybe it is because of the characteristics of their relatives, plus the name of Mrs. Mela who stubbornly believes that the tomb dog is Douding, so the tomb dog thinks this is his name.

The answer, is it really important?

Sometimes, it is better not to dig into things.
