Chapter 1231: Truth and Lies Indistinguishable

“Steady!”

Furong shouted skyward.

The prayer beads and bell in her hand began to glow with a thin blue light, while the Dusknoir behind her raised its arms to fend off the falling giant fan, like a giant propping up the heavens.

Its body was also surrounded by a shimmering blue glow.

Then.

The earthquake stopped, the falling boulders retreated back to the dome, everything seemed as if time had miraculously flowed backward.

In no time.

The bottom-level arena returned to its original state, except that the giant fan was replaced by a gray-purple vortex, and the top lights had gone out, making it seemingly no different from when they first arrived.

The arena, dimly lit only by the edge lights, was dark and eerie, like a scene from a horror game—

If not for Furong’s presence.

At this moment, she looked just like a monk from a Japanese RPG, relying on various magical equipment to battle the Demon King, instantly shifting the atmosphere from horror to fantasy adventure.

A spirit medium isn’t supposed to be into spirit communication, right?

How does she have such skills!

Baimu, dodging the falling stones, looked at Furong in amazement, but soon his attention returned to the vortex in the sky, those blood-red eyes brimming with astonishing anger, as if to turn into flames and burn them to ashes.

“Get out! You are not welcome here! Get out!!”

The thunderous roar echoed in his mind.

Absurd.

The sound waves pierced the eardrums, and this telepathy shook the brain membranes!

For a moment, Baimu didn’t know where to cover, his whole head buzzing, and in desperation, he shouted repeatedly:

“I am the descendant of the one you are waiting for! Stop now! Banette! Do you remember Lidi? We were sent by his companions!”

To make this guy stop messing around, he frantically tried to pull connections to calm Banette down.

You wouldn’t believe it.

After mentioning two people it recognized, Banette indeed stopped roaring, a large dark face stretched out from the vortex, with a striking golden zipper mouth, and its fierce triangular eyes stared at him.

“You…are his descendant?”

“If I’m not his descendant, how could you mistake me?” Baimu was also curious how a soul could be similar to a bloodline inheritance.

He has half a soul from another world!

But this wasn’t the time to get tangled up, he looked up at Banette, catching a glimpse of Furong giving him a thumbs up.

Hurry up and come up with something, sis!

Why give me a thumbs up?

Baimu was speechless, knowing that unless something unexpected happened, Banette was soon going to start driving them away again.

As expected.

“If you aren’t him, then leave here!” Banette issued the eviction order again, fortunately, the telepathy wasn’t as intense as before, not enough to make one dizzy.

Spare the descendant of an old friend?

He immediately cast a look for help at Furong, who didn’t disappoint him and spoke up to attract Banette’s attention.

“Banette! We come for the lost souls with no path to return! Do you still remember the Gatekeeper’s duty?”

So brave!

Baimu was astonished, is it really okay to talk like this?

Banette’s patience seemed to have reached its limit, its enormous face flashed a cold light, viciously saying, “Since you’re unwilling to leave, then stay here forever!”

The zipper unzipped from left to right, releasing a large mass of black mist toward the ground where Furong and Dusknoir stood.

“Yonng!”

Dusknoir’s blood-red single eye flashed, its broad hand pulled Furong’s waist, quickly retreating to the side.

As the black mist fell, it amazingly started transforming into one large and one small blurry figure.

One resembling a human, the other resembling a beast.

Two obscure beings emitted creepy sounds, making one’s skin crawl.

This is…

“Evil Spirit!”

Furong blurted out words that sparked Baimu’s curious gaze, she solemnly said: “Evil Spirit is a special type of soul, there are many reasons for its birth, but without exception, they are extremely dangerous! Be careful not to be possessed by one!

“Also, the Spirit Realm is their natural environment, nearly unbeatable! Fortunately, we are just one step away from the Spirit Realm now, suppressing them will complete the seal.”

Why again the seal.

Does this world not have a once-and-for-all method?

Undoubtedly.

This place they were at wasn’t the Spirit Realm, rather it was a node where reality and the Spirit Realm’s entrance intersected, much like the 1608 room he visited last time.

Behind the vortex where Banette’s large face resided was the true Spirit Realm.

“Wait, it? Are those two shadows below an Evil Spirit?”

Baimu pointed at the two shadows that were about to take solid form.

Furong nodded assuredly: “Indeed, two-in-one separated into Pokémon and human shapes. If I’m not wrong, these evil spirits must have been Trainers who battled here before. Hmm, just Trainers.”

Just Pokémon…

Probably manufactured intentionally by Banette.

Baimu deeply understood Banette’s disdain for most in the arena from his dream, if it were to become the Gatekeeper Pokémon at the Spirit Realm’s entrance, it would undoubtedly find ways to torture their souls.

Nonetheless.

He quickly took out and opened a Pokeball.

Bam!

“Roooar!”

The Aggron landed, initially stunned at the sight before him, then vigilantly raised his hands to protect the Trainer behind him.

Even though it didn’t quite understand what Banette and those two eerie black mist figures were about, just one look told it they were no good!

At the same time.

The two below fully solidified into a gaunt human-shaped evil spirit and a Camerupt-shaped evil spirit charged forward.

“Leave it to me!”

Who would have thought Furong instantly took charge, winking her left eye at Baimu, her prior seriousness completely gone: “We agreed before coming that I’d handle this, it’s obviously not your turn to act!”
