Chapter 665 Abandoned Supermarket
Yang Ming rushed over after hearing the noise, only to see two ragged men biting each other in the corner like crazy. Their faces were full of madness and distortion, and blood was splattered everywhere.
"Are you guys okay?"
Xiaojuer wanted to step forward and separate the two people, but was stopped by Aserola.
"Don't go over there. These two people must have been under a magic spell. If you approach them rashly, you might get caught too."
Yang Ming threw out the Poké Ball and released Parast: "Use Mushroom Spores."
As the mushroom spores hit them, the two men fell to the ground.
"Haunted Eyes, use See Through."
As Aserola's enchanting eyes were used to see through it, two beams of light shot out from its gem-like eyes, and a strange figure appeared from the wall.
"It's a dream monster!"
Yang Ming's heart trembled. It seemed that these two people were hit by the "strange light" of the dream demon and fell into an illusion.
"Rada, kill it, use the killing fang."
Because the supermarket environment is relatively small, Yang Ming can only use relatively small Pokémon to fight.
The dream demon laughed sarcastically and tried to escape by drilling into the wall, but failed. Its body slammed heavily against the wall, and it suddenly saw stars.
The ghost Pokémon that is "seen through" will reveal its true form and lose the ability to pass through walls. It will be hit by fighting and normal attacks. Rada seizes the opportunity, bites the dream monster, and kills it instantly.
"It's not that bad," Yang Ming walked forward and shook the two people who were sleeping, "Wake up, don't lie on the floor anymore."
The two of them slowly woke up, their eyes gradually regaining clarity. Seeing the blood on each other's bodies and the tragic scene around them, they screamed in fear. Yang Ming was not polite and hit each of them with a big fist, which finally made them fully sober.
It was from the two men that Yang Ming learned the details. The two men were refugees who had fled from the north. They had fled here to avoid being hunted down by the "hyenas" who were kings of the mountains. After entering this abandoned supermarket, the two men had wanted to find some expired food to fill their stomachs, but they did not expect to encounter pursuers. They had no choice but to run to the second floor of the supermarket, but they were caught in an illusion as soon as they entered the second floor, and when they woke up, they were back on the first floor.
"It's safe outside now, please leave here quickly."
The two of them then thanked him profusely and escaped from the abandoned supermarket.
"There aren't any powerful ghost Pokémon on the first floor of the supermarket. I guess I have to go to the second floor to check." Yang Ming thought to himself.
"I'm planning to go to the second floor alone. Miss Juer and Acerola should go back first."
However, this proposal was fiercely opposed by Acerola.
"No! You're my guests. It's too dangerous to let you go up alone," the little loli said angrily, hands on her hips. "Besides, I'm an ancient princess. How can I abandon the people of Alola?"
Xiao Juer also echoed: "I'll go too, maybe I can help you." After that, she went straight up the stairs.
Yang Ming couldn't persuade her and had to go with her.
But the moment they walked up the stairs, they felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. Yang Ming endured the dizziness and released Magneto, "Use Flash!"
The dark corridor suddenly became bright, and the Pokémon that were causing trouble also revealed their true forms: they were actually three crying masks.
This ghost Pokémon is completely black, with a golden mask clutched at its bottom. It attacks enemies by controlling the golden mask.
Xiao Juer took the initiative to attack: "Electric Spider, use Discharge."
The three crying masks wanted to escape separately, but the electric spider's discharge attack could attack the opponent in all directions. Under this large-scale saturation attack, the three crying masks were all destroyed in an instant.
"Is everything resolved...?!"
When Yang Ming stepped onto the second floor, the scene before him was unbelievable to him: unlike the ruined first floor, the second floor of the supermarket was brightly lit, with rows of shelves filled with all kinds of new goods, and customers walking through the corridors, picking out their favorite products.
"This supermarket has been abandoned for over a year. How could there still be customers?!"
Yang Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he had an ominous premonition.
But when he turned around, he found that the corridor behind him had disappeared.
Xiao Juer's pretty face turned pale. Such a strange scene appeared in front of her eyes, making her unable to help but scream loudly.
Yang Ming quickly covered her mouth and signaled her not to make any sound.
"Calm down, let's observe the situation first and see if we can find some clues."
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure." Xiaoju whispered.
Just then, the sharp-eyed Aserola made a discovery.
"Look, this is the electrical appliance section." Acerola whispered, pointing to rows of microwave ovens, lawn mowers, washing machines, electric fans, and refrigerators.
Yang Ming was thoughtful. He always felt that there must be a mystery.
Soon, Xiao Juer on the other side also discovered something.
"These people aren't customers at all; they're bandits who broke in here," Xiao Juer whispered, pointing at one of the thin men. "I observed him for a long time and noticed he was carrying a lot of weapons. He didn't buy anything at all; he was just wandering around here."
"So that's how it is..." Yang Ming looked at these "customers" who were like zombies, and he seemed to have realized something. These people had dull eyes and kept doing repetitive movements, as if they were under collective hypnosis.
Moreover, their bodies were very thin, obviously they had been hungry for a long time.
But this seems to contradict Acerola's findings... Could it be?!
Just as he was lost in thought, the guests suddenly started to move. They approached Yang Ming and the other two like zombies, and at the same time threw out Poké Balls mechanically.
Pokémon were released from the Poké Balls one after another. They were skinny and obviously had not eaten enough, just like their trainers. These Pokémon moved in unison and attacked the three people.
"Tsk, there's nothing we can do. Swamp King, use Turbid Stream!"
While directing Swamplord's battle, Yang Ming shouted to Juer and Acerola, "While I'm busy with these people, quickly pull out the ghost Pokémon hiding in the shadows!"
"Alright," Aserola immediately released her alluring eyes, "One more time to see through it!"
However, before the Soul-Snatching Eye could begin to move, an electric fan nearby suddenly rushed over! Wind blades struck the Soul-Snatching Eye, temporarily rendering it unable to move.
"Damn it, is it air cutting?"
Xiao Juer reacted quickly and released the lightning dragon: "Thunder!"
A huge bolt of lightning struck the electric fan, shattering it into dust. Just as Xiao Juer breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Ming's voice suddenly came from behind her: "Watch out for your head!"
