"Traces of shadow ghosts were found on No. 5-23, Shangjing District. Please ask nearby team members to rush to support immediately!"
Muyou looked at the message received on his phone, opened the map mode, and looked at the location.
As expected, Shadow Ghost appeared in the east area of Qiangu District, just in the opposite direction from his current location.
Mu You naturally ignored this. These shadow ghosts were used to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Just let others deal with it. His current task was to find the location of the space crack in the shortest possible time.
Mu You sent the sleeping little girl back to the lock cylinder space, and then left the building in the night.
These shadow people cannot exist as mere shadows for too long. Most of the time, they can only exist in human form and need to eat, drink and sleep like ordinary people.
The purpose of the person behind the scenes is to cross the crack and return to the star spirit world as soon as possible after the space crack opens. Then there is a high possibility that he will hide near the space crack and wait for the crack to open.
According to the conversation between the two people heard in the Gu Pond, the spatial rift was near the little girl's home. However, the two people did not mention how far this 'nearby' was. For the time being, the area within a radius of 500 meters was used as the radius. boundary.
Mu You drew a circle along the location of Ye Rumeng's house on the paper map.
Next, he planned to conduct a blanket search in this circle, looking for people who were not players.
With a radius of 500 meters, it seems to be quite a large area, but fortunately, the population in this area is not too dense, and there is an omniscient crystal. He only needs to take a close look at everyone to confirm whether they are players.
This work took a whole night, but until the next day, when all the nearby residents began to go to work and school normally, he still did not find any suspicious people.
"Is it wrong to guess that that person is not squatting around here?"
Mu You stood on the roof of a tall building, looking at the dense flow of people on the road below and thinking.
Of course, he also searched the suspicious areas nearby this night, and also did not find any space cracks. When this thing is not turned on, it seems that there will be no abnormal phenomena at all. In other words, even if someone comes from it Even if you pass by it, you can't tell that it is a space crack.
So if you want to find the space crack, you can only find the person behind the scenes first. However, this guy is well hidden. The most important thing is that the time is too short and there is no time to conduct a large-scale search. This leads to a deadlock in this matter.
In this way, he can only synchronize this information first, let the Japanese government send a large number of manpower to blockade the area, and then slowly search for it. Although this will alert the snake, at least it can prevent the other party from escaping tonight.
"Huh?"
Just as Mu You took out his cell phone and hesitated whether to disclose the information, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the yellow on the road below.
It was a group of primary school students wearing yellow hats, crossing the road collectively under the leadership of their teacher.
This scene made Mu You startled, and he suddenly realized something.
He checked the game IDs of all nearby residents last night, but not all of them entered the game and applied for the activation code of "The Fool". There was also a mandatory age requirement.
In other words, if that person is disguised as a child, he won't be able to tell it using the omniscient crystal.
However, he also noticed all the children in the neighborhood last night. There were no children living alone. They all lived with their guardians. Their parents were normal people and there were no problems. If these children had been missing for more than a month, they would normally It’s impossible for parents not to report the crime...
etc……
Mu You suddenly remembered something again.
He seemed to know only one child who had disappeared but was not registered in Japan.
Sayaka!
The names and descriptions of the characters mentioned in Louise's diary all looked like children from Japan, but as a result, no records could be found in the missing persons database.
There is no missing information, which means the person is still in Japan. A person who was once clearly captured into the Society of the Undead is still living a normal life locally. The only possibility is that she is already a shadow person!
Thinking of this, Mu You immediately contacted Lu Yao on an old-fashioned mobile phone.
"Hello?"
"Help me check some more things."
"What to check?"
"Elementary school in Tokyo, the registration list of all students, look for a student named 'Sayaka'."
"Tokyo?"
Lu Yao's disbelieving voice came from the phone: "Brother, have you reached out to foreign countries now?"
"Don't worry about the specifics, just tell me if you can check it."
"It's possible to check, but do you know how many elementary schools there are in Tokyo? You only gave me one name, or a popular name like 'Sayaka', how can I check it!" Lu Yao complained.
"Don't worry, it won't be too difficult to check. This child is eight years old. He was absent from school for a long time about a year ago." Mu You reported the information calculated based on the diary.
"Oh, that's okay..."
"how long it takes?"
"About a day." Lu Yao said.
"No, it's too long. I have to get the results before this afternoon. If it's too late, it will be useless." Mu Youyou said.
"Afternoon...I am alone, with hundreds of school servers, you really think I am a god!"
"Can't do it?"
"It's not that it can't be done, it's simply impossible! Go and ask someone randomly. If anyone can do it, I'll call you dad!" Lu Yao said confidently.
"A blue suit." Mu said.
"Depend on……"
There was no movement on the other side for a while, and it took a while to hold back a sentence: "...you are considered rich!"
"So can we get the results before this afternoon?" Mu You confirmed. If she couldn't do it, he would have to go to the Japanese government for cooperation. But it was still the same problem. The wider the news spread, the more likely it was to alert the enemy.
"It's not impossible, but you need to use some unconventional means... But it's the book's system anyway, so I don't have any psychological burden to cause trouble for them..." Lu Yao muttered to herself, and said something about Mu You. After not understanding the noun, I hung up the phone.
…
While Mu You and Lu Yao were plotting their actions, accidents were happening frequently in Japan.
Tokyo seems to be particularly lively today. Ever since the first shadow ghost appeared on the streets of Tokyo in the early morning, shadow people who had been hidden before began to appear one after another across Japan.
Experts from the Japanese Defense Society and the exchange group rushed back and forth like firefighters, constantly dealing with the shadow ghosts that appeared.
Of course, such busy work was not without rewards. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the troops on both sides finally found the hiding place of the Feng Lei Sect members based on the trajectory of one of the shadow ghosts when they escaped, and captured all of them in one fell swoop.
However, it is a pity that the captured members are all peripheral members, and nothing can be asked from their mouths. The real core members will soon become corpses as long as they fall into their hands.
"Aren't these guys too cruel to silence them?"
Looking at the shadow that had just wailed and disappeared in front of him, a member of the Dragon Team couldn't help but complain. This was already the tenth shadow man they had caught today, but none of them could be left alive.
"The other party did not hesitate to throw out so many chess pieces to explode. It only shows that they have other goals!" The Blood Emperor shook his head and said, "This is to forcefully divert our attention so that we have no time to pay attention to him."
The others looked at each other and nodded. At the end of the day, even the dullest person could feel that the other party was deliberately sneaking them around.
"Yes, but this is a conspiracy. Even if we guess that the other party has other intentions, there is nothing we can do." Director Wang sighed. The ultimate goal of their trip is to eliminate all shadow ghosts. Every hidden shadow ghost will be killed. It is a time bomb. Although they are in another country now, who knows when they will move to the country for revenge, so as long as the Shadow Ghost shows up, they can only choose to prioritize demining.
"However, the price of the other party's conspiracy is not low."
The Blood Emperor said: "With such a self-destruction method, how many shadow people can they consume?"
"The other party dares to sacrifice his men so happily. It only means that they no longer need these chess pieces. They are probably preparing to abandon their chess to save the commander and let the mastermind behind the scenes evacuate the earth." Director Wang said in a deep voice: "In this way, there may be a battle tonight A more concentrated burst is waiting for us!”
Others were shocked when they heard this. The frequency of this occurrence has already made them a little anxious. What would be the extent of a bigger outbreak?
"That's fine. The person behind the scenes evacuated on his own initiative, which shows that he doesn't want to conflict with us head-on. This is a sign of concession and saves us a lot of effort. It's best to resolve the matter completely tonight." The Blood Emperor said .
…
Facts a few hours later proved that Director Wang’s guess came true.
At midnight that night, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in Tokyo.
A total of sixteen shadow ghosts appeared in various commercial areas at the same time, of which nine were humanoid shadow ghosts and seven were giant shadow ghosts.
Fortunately, the human-shaped shadow ghosts exist rationally. After appearing, they basically run around while being hunted, and the actual damage they cause is not that great.
The trouble is giant shadow ghosts. These things are equivalent to prehistoric monsters appearing on city streets. They have no thoughts and only know destruction. As long as they appear, the local streets will soon be razed to the ground.
Although Director Wang had warned before that there might be a big wave tonight, the Japanese side still underestimated the intensity of the enemy's counterattack.
The Feng Lei Gate obviously detonated the last remaining power in a wave, which directly caused the entire Tokyo to turn into a mess. The earth trembled, flames shot into the sky, explosions continued, and a large number of residents rushed to the streets to flee, crying and screaming. A scene of approaching doom is heard all the time.
"Director Wang, do you think your group will also arrange some people to support these large shadow ghosts?"
Makiyama Hayata looked out the window at the messy streets, sweating profusely and holding up his mobile phone to ask for help.
"President Hayata, this is what we discussed before. If something happens tonight, our people will be responsible for chasing those shadow people, and the shadow ghosts will be left to you to deal with, right?" Director Wang's voice came from the phone. .
"That's true, but... no one thought there would be so many shadow ghosts before!"
Makiyama Hayata had a bitter look on his face. Each of the seven shadow ghosts possesses epic level of destructive power. Their entire defense club, together with the number of player troops that the private sector can mobilize, can only deal with three of them. Seven, let them Hit him on the head!
"President Hayata, this is what you have to deal with. Don't forget, shadow ghosts may seem powerful, but they have no thoughts after all. As long as they are eliminated, they will be gone once and for all. And these shadow people who are smart and can hide are very important to both of us. Yan is the real threat, because as long as we let them escape, they may continue to create new shadow ghosts in the future, so I think you understand which task is more important."
The voice on the phone silenced Hayata. Indeed, he also knew in his heart that the shadow ghosts were just labor pains on the surface, and if those shadow people were not eradicated, they would be even more harmful in the future.
It's a pity that people are often short-sighted, especially when this happened in their area. They have to consider not only which side will be more harmful in the future, but also the current public opinion and the public's reaction.
If these shadow ghosts are not handled properly and cause huge casualties in the country, they can be drowned by just the spit of the people.
However, these things do not need to be considered by the other party's exchange group. They only need to complete their own tasks and remove things that threaten their country. As for the rest, if your local area is flooded afterwards, what does it matter to others?
At this moment, Hayata understood everything, but he didn't dare to complain openly. He could only ask for help with kind words, hoping that after the exchange team eliminated those shadow people, they could come back to help them as soon as possible.
Director Wang naturally agreed to this, and the two parties hung up the phone in a 'pleasant' exchange.
At 0:30 in the middle of the night, half an hour after the Shadow Ghost erupted, Tokyo was still in chaos.
Aoki District, as one of the few areas that has not been affected by the chaos, can still remain relatively calm at this moment.
In a certain residential building, a little girl climbed out of bed late at night.
This girl was calm beyond her years. The faint shouts and explosions coming from outside did not cause any waves on her face at all.
The girl got up expressionlessly, dressed and cleaned herself up, and finally put on sneakers and black clothes. After looking at her watch, she took the flashlight prepared on the table and quietly opened the door. The door went out.
The girl calmly walked downstairs in the dark until she arrived in front of the door on the first floor.
However, when she reached for the door handle, a woman's voice sounded behind her.
"Sayaka, where are you going?"
The woman was startled, and hurriedly walked over and pulled the girl back: "It's very chaotic outside tonight. The news said that you should stay at home as much as possible, and you still go out and run around!"
The girl was pulled back to the living room by the woman. She still didn't say a word, but just stared up at the woman, which made her feel a little creepy.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you talking? You've been a little weird these days. Ever since you came back from going out on Tuesday night, you seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. I've never seen you smile again. Are you sick somewhere?" the woman asked worriedly.
The woman said and subconsciously turned on the light switch.
But just as she turned around, a sharp claw penetrated her throat from behind.
The woman fell to the ground clutching her bleeding neck, looking at the girl behind her in disbelief. She wanted to speak but could no longer make a sound.
"Thank you for taking care of me these three days."
The girl made a childish voice and shook off the blood on her arm expressionlessly. Then in the woman's frightened and desperate eyes, she turned around, opened the door and left the building.
After going out, the girl put on her hood and completely blended into the night in black.
The girl walked out of the yard and walked to a park not far from the building. She stopped in a corner of the park. Black energy surged all over her body. She reached out and pushed away several thick bluestone slabs on the ground, revealing a hidden mouth underneath. Dry well.
After looking around to make sure there was no one around, the girl jumped into the dry well.
A spacious passage has been dug at the bottom of the well. The girl walked quickly along the passage with a flashlight.
All the way to the deepest part of the passage, at the end of the front, there is a long and narrow crack in the blue space, standing on the stone wall there. What emerges from the crack is a completely unfamiliar night scene, like an open heart. His eyes were looking at the underground environment from another world.
After confirming that the crack had been opened, the girl turned off the flashlight and walked quickly towards the light ahead.
However, just when she was about to crack, she suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis coming from her side, and she hurriedly rolled to the side.
The next moment, a sickle was nailed to the spot where she had been standing.
At the same time, the girl noticed that a figure suddenly appeared in front of the entrance to the crack, blocking her way.
"It turns out that space cracks are hidden in places like this. No wonder no one has found them for so many years."
Because the real-life plot in Japan is relatively sensitive in terms of subject matter, the outline has been modified a bit, including a plot involving a battle of wits and courage with Fuka Raimon, and a quick jump to the outcome, so the pace of this chapter is a bit faster.
