There is no shadow. From this point of view, the shadow may be the person's true body. This person's appearance changed, as well as the previous text in the game when Yubaba became a shadow ghost. The appearance also changed to the shape of a shadow first, and then prompted to become a shadow ghost.
This form of transformation made Mu You think of 'skin'. Players enter the Star Spirit World by injecting a virtual mind clone into the Star Spirit World. If the mind clone can find the corpses of aborigines in the Star Spirit World, whether they are dead in the past or temporarily killed, they can be 'Wear' it as skin, thus existing in place of the corresponding aboriginal people.
Since players can enter the Star Spirit World in the form of game characters, is it possible for people from the Star Spirit World to use similar methods to invade the earth?
If the shadow is regarded as skin, people in the star spirit world can obtain the shadow of the earth people through some method. They can use the shadow to change their appearance into the appearance of the earth people, so that they can hide on the earth without anyone noticing and blend in. Normal work and life among humans.
The reason for this speculation is that when Mu You probed the young man with glasses before, the other party did not feedback the game ID.
If this person himself is from the Star Spirit Realm, and the bespectacled young man he saw was just his 'game character', then everything would make sense.
The muscular man Lin Xue killed in front of him was just one of the opponent's 'skins'. By abandoning this skin and abandoning his car to keep him handsome, the opponent allowed his true body, the shadow, to escape.
"I'm going to the beach to have a look." Lin Xue said, and then ran towards the seaside with the sickle in hand. The direction the other party wanted to escape just now was obviously towards the seaside. If the other party used the shadow to escape, the most likely direction would be towards the seaside.
Mu You didn't stop her, but he didn't hold out much hope either. In this kind of wilderness without lights, it would be too easy for a shadow to escape.
After Lin Xue left, Mu You turned around and looked at the two shadow ghosts not far ahead. At this time, the two shadow ghosts were still fighting each other fiercely, but after the initial fighting stage, the gap between the two sides had quickly become apparent.
The later Shadow Ghost was obviously no match for the Box Shadow Ghost. After the initial violent momentum dissipated, he was left to be beaten. The Box Shadow Ghost kept tearing off streaks of black energy from his body. Becoming smaller and smaller, the strength gap between the two sides is also getting wider and wider.
After another tens of seconds, the Box Shadow Ghost finally struck the final blow, completely tearing the extremely weak Shadow Ghost in front of him in half with one claw.
The shadow ghost fell to the ground in an unwilling wailing, and the black energy quickly dissipated, leaving only the body of a man in black, his eyes round and wide, maintaining an extremely frightened expression. He was already dead and could no longer die.
At Mu You's side, the little girl woke up at some point and was standing behind Mu You, staring blankly at the shadow ghost in front of her, the confusion in her eyes gradually dissipating.
Mu You didn't have time to pay attention to her, so he quickly took the shadow ghost box in his hand and held the pocket watch in his other hand.
The next question is how to seal this shadow ghost back... Mu You was so decisive in releasing the shadow ghost just now. One reason was that the shadow ghost reacted to the little girl, and the other reason was that the shadow ghost had shown such bad behavior before. There are signs that communication is possible.
But even so, Mu You didn't think that the other party would go back obediently after being finally released. In the distance, Shadow Ghost finished killing his opponent, his eyes unabated with rage, and he immediately started looking for the next target.
Turning his eyes, he saw Ye Rumeng in the distance. Seeing the little girl being blocked by another person, Shadow Ghost roared angrily, dropped the body of the man in black at his feet, and rushed towards the two of them.
Shadow Ghost arrived in the blink of an eye, raised its claws towards Mu You, and was about to swing down. Mu You had already hidden the box behind his back, waiting for the shadow ghost to rush in and take it out.
"No!" However, just when the shadow ghost rushed towards him and his claws were about to strike down, Ye Rumeng behind him suddenly stepped forward and shouted instinctively.
Mu You was startled, and subconsciously pulled the little girl behind him to protect her, and then pressed the pocket watch. Unexpectedly, after hearing the little girl's voice, Shadow Ghost suddenly stopped and did not continue to attack. Instead, he floated backwards.
Shadow Ghost was floating in the air, looking at the girl being protected by Mu You. He wanted to get close but didn't dare. He didn't know where to place his claws, like a child who had done something wrong.
After a pause for a few seconds, Shadow Ghost rushed towards the two of them again, but this time it was not an attack, but a headlong dive into the box in Mu You's hand.
The box closed automatically and there was no movement. Mu You looked at the shadow ghost box in surprise, and then at the little girl. Unexpectedly, shadow ghost actually went back by himself after the little girl's words...
"Woo..." At this time, he noticed that Ye Rumeng behind him suddenly started crying, looking very sad.
"Mengmeng, what did you remember?" Mu You asked her hurriedly.
"No..." The little girl shook her head, tears still welling up in her eyes. She raised the back of her hand to wipe them, but the tears became more and more.
"I just suddenly felt... so sad..." After crying for a while, she raised her head, looked at Mu You with tearful eyes and asked, "Mu You, is my sister... really still alive?"
"Of course." Mu You nodded towards her, although he also had some doubts as to whether the shadow ghost in the box might be the little girl's sister.
But the conclusion that her sister was still alive was the result that the divination told him at the beginning, and it was supposed to be correct... At this time, footsteps sounded in the distance.
The two turned to look, and it was Lin Xue who walked out of the darkness.
"How is it?" Mu You asked.
"Not found." Lin Xue shook her head.
"Forget it, take her back first, I'll take care of it here." Mu You raised his head and looked into the distance. At this moment, the sound of sirens around him had gathered from all directions. Soon the police and people from the Strange Bureau would arrive. to the scene.
"Okay, then be careful." Lin Xue nodded, took the little girl away first, and quickly disappeared into the night.
After Lin Xue left, Mu You did not leave the scene. Instead, he changed his skin and found a stone to sit down next to the muscular man's body.
A moment later, large footsteps sounded from a distance, and then various flashlight beams shone on him.
"Mu You?" A familiar voice sounded in the distance.
"Don't shoot, you guys!" Following this shout, a group of policemen with guns ran from a distance, led by Zhang Yang.
"Here we come." Mu You raised his hand to greet him.
"Mu You, what's going on? Where's the shadow ghost?" Zhang Yang looked at the mess all over the ground in surprise. The trees on the scene were all crooked, the ground was cracked, and there were big holes and small holes everywhere. It was obvious that something had just happened here. A pretty brutal battle.
"You guys are a step too late, the battle is over." Mu You said.
"Did you solve it?" Zhang Yang looked at him in shock, then looked at the corpse not far away. The news he just received said that a shadow ghost appeared in K city and destroyed a block in an instant.
Fortunately, someone seemed to appear at the scene and lured the Shadow Ghost away in time, all the way to the outskirts of the city. After receiving the police, they drove towards the crime scene as soon as possible, but unfortunately they were a step too late. What they didn't expect was that they saw Mu You first when they arrived at the scene.
He instinctively thought that Mu You was the one who lured away the shadow ghosts and solved them.
"How can I be so capable?" Mu You shook his head and smiled.
"Then this is?"
"It's the ghost captain and the red sickle girl." This is half true and half false. Anyway, it just pushes everything to another identity.
"Ah..." Zhang Yang didn't expect that these two mysterious bosses would be involved.
"What's going on? Tell me quickly!" Zhang Yang asked hurriedly.
"I came a little earlier than you. When I rushed over, the battle had come to an end. The two bosses had eliminated the shadow ghost, but it seemed that there was a hidden culprit behind it. The two bosses asked me to see At the scene, they went after the murderer."
"Where?"
"Over there." Mu You pointed in the direction of the seaside.
"Quick, you guys, go over and help." Zhang Yang hurriedly assigned a group of people to go in the direction Mu You pointed, and the remaining people immediately sealed off the scene.
It wasn't until the support team arrived and everything settled down at the scene that Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Fortunately, nothing serious happened... But then you have to go back with me to make a record."
"I understand." Mu You nodded. Next, Mu You followed Zhang Yang in the car back to the Strange Bureau, and described his experience tonight with half truth and half lies.
Everything he said perfectly matched the situation at the scene, so no one doubted it. However, Mu You also knew that it was impossible to rely solely on his explanation to determine the certainty of this matter. He would definitely find another party involved, Captain Ghost, for verification.
After Mu You got home late at night, he turned on his phone and saw that, sure enough, he had received a private message from Jiuyou on the forum, asking him politely about what happened tonight.
"I solved the Shadow Ghost, but the mastermind behind it was not caught and ran away by that thing..." Mu You briefly told the other party what happened, which corroborated his records at the police station.
By the way, I also specifically mentioned the other party's means of escape.
"You mean, maybe this person is not a human being, but...'something' from the Star Spirit Realm?" Jiuyou was very surprised. Of course he heard the ghost captain's hint, and if this is true , it is said that creatures in the star spirit world can disguise themselves as humans through some means and stir up troubles on the earth.
There are too many issues involved...
"It's just a guess. I'm not sure about the details. It's up to you to investigate next." Mu You returned.
"Okay, leave it to us next. We will notify you of the results of the investigation in time. No matter what, it is really thanks to your timely action today, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." Jiuyou replied.
"It's nothing, just doing it casually..." The two of them exchanged simple greetings and hung up the private chat.
After finishing this work, Mu You took a breath and sat back on the sofa. Only then did he have time to take out the shadow ghost box and look at it.
In the box, Shadow Ghost was huddled quietly in the corner, seemingly taking a rest. He noticed Mu You's gaze and ignored him.
Mu You tried to communicate with it, such as asking it if it knew the little girl, if it was the little girl's sister, etc., but the other party had no response. He talked for a long time as if he was playing the piano to a cow.
Just as Mu You was patiently preparing to continue trying, a cell phone rang, coming from the old-fashioned cell phone given by Lu Yao.
"The identities of the two people you asked me to check have been found." This is what Lu Yao said when the call was connected.
"Oh? Who is he?" Mu You asked.
"Both of them come from Benzi's side, a force called 'Fenglei Clan'. The young one among them should be the designated heir of Fenglei Clan, which is equivalent to the head of the family."
"Fengleimen?" Mu You recalled it and confirmed that he had no impression of the name.
"It's a gangster organization with average strength and a low reputation in Japan. You don't know it's normal." Lu Yao said, "However, there is something very strange about the young man wearing glasses."
"What?"
"It is said that this man used to be a dandy with a very perverse personality. He would fight, eat, drink, whore and gamble. It was common for him to get into trouble. He was not originally the heir within the Fenglei Sect... But since five years ago, Starting one day after , this man's personality suddenly changed dramatically. He became calm, studious, unsmiling, and extremely self-disciplined overnight. In just three months, he was completely recognized as the heir of Fenglei Sect. , has mastered the real power of the family..." Lu Yao said.
"Five years ago..." Mu You touched his chin. This time seemed a bit familiar. In the game before, it seemed that the time when Granny Yu appeared in the Cook Islands was also five years ago... In addition, this person's personality With the sudden change, his previous guesses are more likely to come true: this person was probably replaced by another person five years ago, and then secretly did some things by controlling the power of Fengleimen. The thing... This also explains why this person does not have a game ID. If this guy's body is from the star spirit world, he will naturally not be accepted by the Fool's game.
However, since Lu Yao could easily find out this information within a day, it would be easier for the country to find out.
It is estimated that there should be news before tomorrow morning. Next, Muyou continued to hang up the game and continued to search for clues in the Society of the Dead, while secretly paying attention to the news on the forum.
At about five o'clock the next morning, Mu You received a call from Zhang Yang.
"The identities of the two corpses were found out. They are both Japanese. The muscular man among them is said to have disappeared more than four years ago. There has been no news since. I didn't expect that he would appear in the form of a corpse yesterday."
"Where's the other one?"
"The other one is also Japanese. He has been living in China for a long time. His superficial identity is a businessman. However, after we investigated his identity, we found that he belongs to a Japanese force called 'Fengleimen'." Zhang Yang paused before continuing: " In addition, regarding this Fulemon Gate, a few days ago, the leader of this power, a young man named Tetsuya Kusanagi, just arrived in K City by plane. We checked last night and found that the place where they registered to live is no longer there. There are no traces of these people anywhere else in K City, and they may have fled the country... We now speculate that this person may be the mastermind behind this incident!"
"What about the casualties?" Mu You asked.
"The statistics have been calculated. Five people died, more than 200 people were injured, and various buildings were damaged... Of course, the wounded buildings are easy to talk about. There are healing spells and repair spells, so it is not difficult to restore and rebuild. Fortunately, everyone now has He is a player, and his physical fitness has improved a lot, which has greatly reduced the death rate." After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he sighed: "However, the impact of this incident is still very bad! The leaders above are said to be very angry, and after discussing it all night, they have decided Let’s get to the bottom of it!”
"So?" Mu You heard that Zhang Yang had something to say.
"So, there is a matter now." Zhang Yang said awkwardly: "The above decided to dispatch a group of experts from various places to form an 'exchange group' to go to Japan to investigate the matter in detail. This matter has been communicated with the Japanese government through negotiation. ”
"After all, this happened in our K city. It would be unreasonable if our branch didn't send people there, but we have too few experts here..." Zhang Yang was very embarrassed.
Mu You naturally understood. Zhang Yang hoped that he could go to Japan with the group on behalf of K City.
"Of course, this is not mandatory. If you don't want to go, I completely understand..." After hearing Muyou's silence, Zhang Yang quickly added.
"Go, of course I will go." Mu You said suddenly.
"Ah, you really want to go?"
"Why not go for the opportunity to travel at public expense? Besides, I am one of the witnesses at the scene, so it is most appropriate for me to go." Mu You said with a smile.
Not to mention that the Shadow Ghost and Feng Leimen matters were all related to him. On the other hand, he had long wanted to go to Japan to investigate the little girl's life experience.
It's just that he suddenly ran to Japan alone, which was somewhat unexpected, and his identity was a bit sensitive. Now that he went with a group, he could investigate openly.
