Arthur lightly patted his clothes, brushing off the crumbs. He walked into the kitchen, rinsed the coffee cup he had just used, and put it back on the shelf. Returning to the room, he checked his gun to make sure it was loaded, then placed it in his coat pocket along with his phone and identification. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a knock at the door. He turned and saw the town mayor of Mishima standing there, smiling kindly at him.
"Mr. Arthur, did you sleep well last night? Is the room still comfortable?" The town mayor of Mishima's voice was gentle and friendly.
Arthur walked quickly, opened the door, and smiled somewhat helplessly, saying, "Hmm, I had an unpleasant dream. Maybe this unfamiliar environment is making me uneasy."
Town mayor of Mishima Upon hearing this, also smiled understandingly, nodded, and said, "That's inevitable. Coming to a completely new place is bound to make one feel somewhat unusual. But as time goes on, you will gradually get used to it."
Arthur nodded, knowing that the words of the town mayor of Mishima made some sense, but he was more filled with anticipation and worry about the upcoming investigation. He hoped to quickly uncover the mystery of the small town and find the whereabouts of the missing residents.
Observing Arthur's expression, the town mayor of Mishima seemed to sense his thoughts and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, if you need any help, please let me know at any time. I will do my best to assist you. And Officer Matsumoto is also very experienced and will be a great partner for you."
Arthur nodded in gratitude. He knew that in this unfamiliar environment, getting help from the locals was very important. He quickly checked his belongings to make sure everything was ready. The town mayor of Mishima spoke up, "By the way, Mr. Arthur, do you need a ride to the police station? I can take you there so you can go directly to investigate the Pokémon Tower with Officer Matsumoto."
Arthur thought for a moment and then nodded, "Alright, thank you, Mayor."
Town mayor of Mishima Smiling and nodding, he led Arthur to his car. The car was an old small truck, looking a bit worn out but still very sturdy. He opened the door and let Arthur sit in the passenger seat, then went around to the driver's seat, inserted the key, and tried to start the car. However, the car didn't respond immediately, just making a few cough-like sounds.
Town mayor of Mishima Looking a bit embarrassed, he chuckled and said to Arthur, "Getting old! This car is just like me, the older it gets, the more useless it becomes!" With that, he continued to struggle to turn the key, trying to get the car started.
After several attempts, the car finally started, and the town mayor of Mishima showed a satisfied smile. He gently stepped on the gas and carefully drove the car out of the yard of the small wooden house, slowly heading towards the direction of the police station in Lavender Town.
On the trembling small truck, Arthur looked at the scenery outside the window. The sunlight slowly pierced through the white mist, gradually revealing most of the appearance of Lavender Town before his eyes. The surrounding mountains and forests appeared quiet and mysterious, with an indescribable ancient feeling. As the car drove along the path, Arthur couldn't help but feel curious about the life in this place, so he turned to the town mayor of Mishima and asked, "What kind of work do most people in the town do?"
Town mayor of Mishima smiled and explained, "Well, the unique feature of this town is that due to our geographical location and cultural traditions, over seventy percent of the residents are involved in the funeral industry. Lavender Town has a long-standing funeral culture, and people believe that through this practice, the souls of the departed can find peace."
Arthur listened attentively, which helped him understand why the town had so many tombstones and statues, and why even the main buildings were closely associated with death and mystery.
Town mayor of Mishima continued, "In addition to the funeral industry, there are also people engaged in retail, agriculture, and the religious industry. The retail industry mainly consists of small shops and markets that provide daily necessities, while agriculture provides most of the town's food. As for the religious industry, it is related to our beliefs and culture. Some people work in temples, providing religious services, while others produce and sell religious items."
Arthur furrowed his brow slightly, feeling puzzled by the term "temple." He was not familiar with the religious beliefs of Lavender Town before, so he didn't understand the specific significance of temples in the area. So he asked, "Temple? What kind of place is it? Does it have any special meaning?"
Town mayor of Mishima smiled and explained, "Oh, the temple in our Lavender Town holds a very special position. It is responsible for handling all religious affairs in the town. Here, no matter what you believe in, the temple can provide you with the corresponding religious services. It brings together multiple faiths, in simple terms, it is a multi-faith religious service center."
Listening to the explanation from the Town mayor of Mishima, Arthur seemed to understand somewhat, but he still had some questions, so he asked again, "So basically, this temple is responsible for handling and conducting various religious rituals, is that right?"
Town mayor of Mishima nodded and continued to explain, "Yes, the temple is not only responsible for conducting various religious ceremonies, but also serves as the spiritual refuge for the town residents, the center of their faith. Here, people can find spiritual comfort and the strength of their beliefs. Many people come to the temple for help when they encounter difficulties or need blessings. The temple's monks also pray and bless them. The temple holds great significance for the residents of Lavender Town."
He continued, "In addition to conducting religious ceremonies, the temple is also an important community center in our town. It is a place for people to socialize, communicate, and help each other. During important festivals or special occasions, the temple organizes activities to bring the town residents together, allowing them to feel the warmth of the community and the power of their faith."
Arthur, after listening to the explanation of the town mayor of Mishima, gained a deeper understanding of the temple and religious beliefs in Lavender Town. He couldn't help but feel that the temple seemed closely related to the mysterious atmosphere of Lavender Town. Perhaps in unraveling the clues of the mysterious events in Lavender Town, the temple would be an important piece.
