Arthur's gaze was drawn to the group of ghost-type Pokémon in the corner of the wall. They were curled up quietly, seeming curious and afraid of the world. Arthur slowly approached them, hoping to observe them up close. However, as he got closer, the Pokémon seemed to sense something extremely terrifying, and they suddenly vanished in a flash, leaving only a faint chill and silence in the air.
Arthur stood still, feeling a sense of helplessness and confusion. Just as he was pondering the meaning of it all, a deep, elderly voice came from behind him: "They are very shy... especially when they encounter... you." Arthur quickly turned around to see an old man in monk's attire standing behind him. The old man wore a hat on his head, and his face appeared somewhat somber in the dim light, with eyes revealing deep and ancient wisdom.
Arthur looked nervously at the suddenly appearing monk, his presence was too abrupt, causing Arthur to feel a strange fear. The monk's eyes were deep and mysterious, as if he could see into Arthur's thoughts. Arthur tried to stay calm and asked, "Who are you...?" His voice carried curiosity and caution.
A faint smile appeared on the old monk's face, his voice low and calm, "I am the caretaker here, responsible for taking care of this tower and these homeless souls." His words were full of compassion and tranquility, but Arthur could still sense an elusive depth and mystery.
When Officer Matsumoto saw the old monk, his expression showed a hint of nervousness and respect. He softly said to the old monk, "Master Yuan Yi... hello." His voice carried a kind of respect for the elder, while also revealing a hint of unease.
Then, Matsumoto turned to Arthur and explained, "This is Master Yuan Yi. He is not only the guardian of the Pokemon Tower, but also its primary caretaker. Master Yuan Yi is responsible for all the burial ceremonies, the burial of Pokemon, and other related religious rituals here. He has been working here for many years and knows every corner of this tower like the back of his hand."
Arthur listened to this introduction and felt a sense of awe towards Master Yuan Yi. He realized that the old monk in front of him might have crucial information about the missing case they were investigating. Arthur carefully observed Master Yuan Yi, hoping to gain some helpful clues for the investigation.
Master Yuan Yi nodded slightly, his expression calm yet full of wisdom. His gaze seemed to penetrate the heart, creating an indescribable pressure on those around him.
Arthur was about to ask Master Yuan Yi about the details of the disappearance, but the old monk suddenly raised his hand, as if he had foreseen it, and interrupted Arthur's words. Master Yuan Yi's voice was calm but full of penetrating power: "I know... you have a pursuit and passion for this case, and I respect that very much. On behalf of those unfortunate missing persons, I express my gratitude to you."
With these words, Master Yuan Yi gracefully bowed, expressing his gratitude. This gesture seemed very solemn and sincere, making Arthur feel somewhat surprised and embarrassed. He was not sure how to respond to such respect, so he could only awkwardly nod and accept this unusual gratitude.
Arthur was full of doubts, but he also felt the deep understanding and support of Master Yuan Yi. He realized that Master Yuan Yi was not an ordinary religious leader, but a sage with profound insight into the town and Pokemon Tower. This strengthened Arthur's determination to uncover the truth about the missing person.
Master Yuan Yi gazed at Arthur, his eyes revealing deep and ancient wisdom. He spoke slowly, with a tone of calm and solemnity: "Things must be taken one step at a time... Detective Arthur, you are not familiar with this place, are you?" His voice was deep and tranquil, as if it had been flowing through this mysterious land for centuries.
Arthur nodded in acknowledgment, admitting that he was indeed not very familiar with the place. He turned to look at Officer Matsumoto beside him and noticed that he also seemed somewhat nervous in the presence of Master Yuan Yi. The old officer held a handkerchief in his hands, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead, his expression revealing a hint of respect and fear.
Arthur turned back to Master Yuan Yi and humbly said, "Yes, Master, I am indeed not very familiar with this place."
Master Yuan Yi nodded, his face showing a hint of deep emotion. He looked at Arthur, his eyes seemingly filled with stories: "Pokemon Tower is not just a place to bury Pokémon, it also carries the history and secrets of this town for hundreds of years. Every floor and every corner here hides untold stories."
His voice was deep and full of authority, as if every word weighed a thousand pounds: "Investigating here, you are not only searching for the whereabouts of the missing, but also exploring the past and secrets of this town. Every step needs to be careful, because you cannot predict what you will encounter next."
Arthur listened to Master Yuan Yi's words, feeling even more curious and cautious. He realized that this investigation was far more complex and dangerous than he had initially expected. He gazed at Master Yuan Yi and asked in a deep voice, "So, Master, can you tell me more about the details of these missing cases? Or any unusual events that have occurred here?"
Master Yuan Yi smiled as he slowly said, " Lavender Town and Pokemon Tower are both places with deep history. They are not only the resting place of Pokémon, but also the gathering place of many unsolved mysteries. Many stories and secrets are buried beneath these ancient walls and stone slabs."
Arthur listened to Master Yuan Yi's words, his heart filled with curiosity and caution. He understood that what he was about to uncover might not just be some simple cases, but the secrets and legends of this town over the past few hundred years.
Master Yuan Yi continued, "Before you begin your investigation, it is necessary to understand the history and culture here. Every stone and every wall here has its own story. And these stories may have an undeniable influence on your investigation."
