Pokémon: From Magikarp

Chapter 862 Cursed Constitution

"Qimeng, Qimeng? Why are you in a daze?"

While Su Qimeng was still digesting the news from the Fire Beast, her abnormality was noticed by Wan Qiansi who was standing beside her. He immediately poked her with his finger and asked.

"Huh? Oh... nothing, nothing."

Su Qimeng responded casually, wanting to continue communicating with the Fire Beast. At this moment, another gust of spiritual wind blew out from the space gate like a black cloud.

The Inferno Beast stood in front of everyone, spitting out a mouthful of purple fire, resisting the erosion of the spiritual world's wind on the real world.

"Um, Qimeng, can you tell me what you know about the spirit world and the Xiyi Flower?"

Although he had been rejected by Su Qimeng many times, Wan Qiansi always felt that Su Qimeng definitely knew more information than the archaeological team, but the other party was holding back because they didn't believe her.

"Why are you so obsessed with the spirit world and the Xiyi people?"

This time, Su Qimeng did not refuse, but frowned and asked back. In the past, whenever she asked this, Wan Qiansi would look around and try to avoid it, but this time she fell silent.

"Huh, okay, I'll tell you the truth!"

After a while, Wan Qiansi finally made up his mind. After taking a deep breath, his eyes instantly became deep. His dark pupils gradually enlarged, gradually occupying the entire eye, and a cold aura emanated from his body.

The visual impact of this scene was so strong that even Su Qimeng couldn't help but take a step back. Now Wan Qiansi gave her the feeling that he was a bit like... a ghost-type elf!

"Is this your special physique?"

Su Qimeng had long heard of Wan Qiansi's peculiarity, that she was half human, half ghost, and the best in Northeast China, but she had never seen her show it.

"Alas, yes, but my physique is not the type of sudden mutation, but... heredity!"

Wan Qiansi looked at his palms which had become cold, sighed and continued.

"Hereditary?"

Su Qimeng had never heard of this statement. Most of the people with special physiques who are recognized today were born due to the increasingly deep connection and integration between the elf world and the real world, and were influenced by the elf world. Most of them were born with it, but some were acquired as well.

As for the heritability of this thing, it has not been widely studied because there are too few people with special physiques and most of them are too young, and the results in this regard are unknown.

"Yes, my mother, aunt, and some of my elders all have this special physique, and it seems to only appear in girls."

Since he had already decided to open his heart, Wan Qiansi didn't plan to hide anything anymore, as there was no point.

"But this physique isn't so much a special gift as it is actually more like a... curse. Every girl in our family who possesses this physique will suddenly disappear one day!"

"That's right, they disappear. They might be talking to you one second, but evaporate in the next. There's no trace of them left in the world anymore, as if they've never been in this world."

When he said this, Wan Qiansi tightly grasped his left hand with his right hand, and the force he used was obviously too strong, leaving red marks on his fair arm.

"What? Then you..."

Su Qimeng stared at Wan Qiansi with her eyes wide open. This meant that the Wan Qiansi in front of her might suddenly disappear!

Looking at Su Qimeng's appearance, Wan Qiansi smiled.

"Don't be afraid. According to the rules, it's unlikely for a girl to disappear until she's at least thirty years old. Otherwise, our family would have been gone long ago."

Wan Qiansi explained it seemingly in a relaxed manner, but it did not make Su Qimeng feel better. If she put herself in his shoes, it would be unimaginable if she had this cursed physique.

"Okay, we've gotten off topic."

Wan Qiansi took a deep breath and continued.

"Ever since this curse has haunted our family like a maggot, we have been searching for the truth behind its disappearance and a way to break the curse, and we have made countless efforts to this end."

"We finally found clues in some elven ruins. We discovered that a special human race seems to have lived in the ancient elven world. They have a close relationship with ghost elves and also have connections with the legendary spirit world."

"More importantly, the text mentions that the most striking physical feature of this race is that their eyes lack whites, appearing as black as ink."

Having said that, Wan Qiansi turned and looked at Su Qimeng.

"Qimeng, you should have heard it too. This human race is the Xiyi people!"

"The elders of our family don't know why we share such similar characteristics with an ancient human race that should have been extinct long ago. However, this significant discovery has given them hope."

"They compiled the information and passed it down through generations for analysis, hoping that their descendants could find a way to break the curse."

"My mother and aunt took over this responsibility from my grandmother and worked hard to break the curse, but in the end... my mother still disappeared, like a gust of invisible wind."

Wan Qiansi's voice trembled slightly. Even though she had known this since she was a child and had been mentally prepared, she still felt extremely desperate. She was very afraid that one day she would be like this.

Looking at her, Su Qimeng didn't know what to say, so she patted her shoulder comfortingly.

"I also learned some clues about the Xiyi people from the information and diaries left by my mother and aunt. They mentioned the Sunglass Ruins and the Xiyi Flower."

"According to their speculation, there's a high probability that the women in our family possess the blood of the ancient Xiyi people, which allows us to connect with the spirit world after reaching a certain age."

"And our sudden disappearance doesn't mean death. It's very likely that we were summoned directly to the spirit world for some inexplicable reason."

Wan Qiansi continued to speak, but Su Qimeng, who was originally listening carefully, suddenly widened her eyes and turned her head abruptly.

She suddenly remembered that when she was trapped in the spirit world, it was because of the white veil given to her by a girl whose appearance could not be seen that she was able to stay in the forest.

She originally thought it was just her hallucination, because it was well known that humans could not exist in the spirit world, but Wan Qiansi's words seemed to provide a new explanation...

"Miss Wan, what are your mother and aunt's names?"

After thinking it over again and again, Su Qimeng couldn't help but ask.

Wan Qiansi responded very readily with a smile on her face.

"What a coincidence! My mom and aunt are also from your Baishan City. My mom's name is Bai Mengyu, and she's a pretty ordinary housewife. But my aunt was quite famous back then. She was a formidable trainer. Maybe you've even heard of her. Her name is... Bai Mengyun!"
