The light of the cannon penetrated the ground.
When the white light dissipated, Mu You looked down and saw a large hole several meters wide on the ground, which was pitch black and bottomless.
Mu You raised the palm of the robot, and from the sand spider nest on his back, densely packed micro-mechanical spiders emerged, jumped down along his arm, crawled into the hole, and quickly explored downwards.
After a while, a sand spider took the lead in finding the entrance to the underground. Mu You nodded to Lin Xue, and the two of them jumped in one after another.
Following the route explored by the Sand Spider, after a long descent, the two finally saw the light ahead.
When the light came out, what came into view was an empty underground factory. The surrounding roads and walls were brightly lit, illuminating the entire factory interior.
Just when the two of them had just landed and before they could stand firm, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and rushed towards the two of them.
But before the figure could get close, a string of tongues of fire spurted out from the barrel of Mu You's raised right arm, and the floating bullets connected in a line in the air, spinning the opponent like a top and driving him back. On the wall behind him A big hole was made.
The floating machine gun did no damage, so it did not cause serious harm to the opponent. The figure in the distance fell to the ground, revealing an old witch with a wrinkled face and a stooped body.
Mu You had never seen this person before, but his appearance made him feel very familiar.
Yubaba, the original administrator of the Undead who appears in the game text.
Mu You glanced behind her, and sure enough, behind her was the shadow of a long-haired girl.
Granny Tang stared at Mu You and Lin Xue in the distance with a ferocious face. A layer of black energy gradually emerged from her body, and she quickly transformed into a young long-haired woman. Her eyes were scarlet and all her fingers turned into sharp edges. Sharp claws.
The next second, the long-haired woman bared her teeth and claws and rushed towards the two of them.
When he met Yubaba for the first time in the game, Mu You was instantly killed. This shows that the strength of this shadow ghost should be considered the strongest among the humanoid shadow ghosts.
But no matter how strong the opponent is, it doesn't matter. He is no longer a game character, but a real person standing here.
What's more, he also has a shadow pom-pom on his body that specifically attacks shadow-type creatures.
Halfway through the sprint, the long-haired woman suddenly stopped and stopped in her sprinting posture, as if she was petrified.
In the elongated shadow behind her, a group of ripples appeared, and then a pair of black pom-poms emerged from the ripples, secretly looking at the outside world.
In front of Shadow Ghost, Mu You had raised the cannon again, white light surging from the muzzle, and energy gathered rapidly.
The long-haired woman felt the fatal threat from the muzzle, her body trembled, and her face became more ferocious. However, she was restrained by the shadow behind her. She could not avoid it at all, let alone escape. She could only watch helplessly. The muzzle of the gun aimed at her grew brighter and brighter.
This time Mu You directly charged up his energy for a minute before activating it.
"boom!"
The surging energy beam drowned the woman, penetrated the building behind her, and blasted a straight passage directly into the maze-like complex underground factory.
After the light passed, there was no longer any figure of the woman on the spot, leaving only a squirming shadow remnant on the ground.
"Ahhhh..."
The shadow ghost here had just died, and Yubaba quickly resurrected not far away in the other direction, but she had already returned to the form of an old witch, and there was no shadow behind her.
The resurrected Yubaba let out a shrill scream at this time, as if she was suffering from unspeakable pain, and fell to the ground. The nails of her hands scratched blood marks on her face, but she was completely unaware of it.
Soon Yubaba stopped screaming, her eyes turned white and she passed out. Her vitality was quickly drained away until death disappeared.
After another few seconds, Yubaba was resurrected again in another direction, but this time she didn't even scream. Her eyes turned white, her whole body was motionless, and there was no trace of life. She died again within two seconds of being resurrected. The body disappears quickly...
"What's wrong with this man?" Lin Xue looked at this scene strangely.
"Shadow ghosts are a collection of violence and negative emotions. For people possessed by shadow ghosts, after the shadow ghosts are killed, if there are no other shadows to help take over these negative emotions, then all the negative emotions accumulated by the shadow ghosts during their lifetime can only be transferred. To the host..." Mu You shook his head and said.
Lin Xue was stunned when she heard this, and quickly understood.
Being able to turn a shadow into a shadow ghost, you can imagine what a huge collection of negative emotions it is. A living person is absolutely unable to withstand this impact. After resurrection, he will be immediately hit by negative emotions to the point of brain death, and it is not a single brain death. It ends, but over and over again, until resurrection is no longer possible.
The fact was just as she expected. Then Yubaba began to repeat the process of resurrection and death again and again, and the intervals between deaths became shorter and shorter. After dozens of times, she even no longer showed her body shape when she was resurrected, until her life span was completely After it was exhausted, it stopped and disappeared from this world forever.
The two men watched this scene with regret, without stopping, they continued to move forward along the passage blasted by the cannon.
A moment later, the two appeared in front of the west entrance of the underground factory.
This is the hiding place of the person behind the scenes. If the person behind the scenes comes back, he may still hide here.
Before the two of them could get closer, a series of footsteps suddenly came from the darkness ahead.
Five figures walked out of the darkness step by step, each with a shadow ghost wrapped around their body. They were the five administrators in this factory, headed by a little boy shadow ghost.
Muyou also recognized this shadow ghost. The shadow of the previous Ma Gan administrator was the image of this little boy.
Five shadow ghosts, led by the little boy, attacked the two men fiercely.
Mu You waved his hand and threw the shadow pom-pom.
The shadow pom-pom quickly flew in front of the little boy Shadow Ghost. Before the little boy could raise his hand, it suddenly grew bigger, opened a huge mouth, and directly swallowed the little boy Shadow Ghost. He chewed it for a few mouthfuls and then swallowed it tightly. Then he jumped behind another shadow ghost and controlled it so that it could not move.
One of the five shadow ghosts was eaten and controlled, and the remaining three were still charging towards Mu You and Lin Xue.
Mu You didn't waste any time on this. He took out the shadow ghost box and opened the lid.
When he first entered the underground factory, he noticed that the shadow ghost in the box suddenly became extremely violent, frantically hitting the lid to get out.
Clearly, this place has a deep connection to it.
The Box Shadow Ghost is definitely the most powerful shadow ghost Mu You has ever seen. There is no reason to use such a strong combat power. With the shadow pom-pom with him, there is no need to worry about the Box Shadow Ghost being out of control when it comes out. Released it directly.
Sure enough, as soon as the Box Shadow Ghost appeared, its furious aura instantly shocked the entire audience.
The three shadow ghosts that were charging in front suddenly trembled, subconsciously stopped, and started to retreat.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. The huge figure of the Shadow Ghost arrived in an instant. He punched the two Shadow Ghosts into the ground with one punch and began to crush them claw by claw. One by one, he also beat the two Shadow Ghosts to bits. No power to fight back.
The last shadow ghost who wanted to escape was also entangled by Mu You and Lin Xue.
Mu You directly switched the fighting circuit and fought hand-to-hand with Shadow Ghost at close range. Although Lin Xue could not summon the shadow of Death now, his attributes and black magic alone were enough to cause big trouble to Shadow Ghost. With the two of them joining forces, this Shadow Ghost had no chance to escape and was quickly killed on the spot by the two men.
When the two of them finished killing the shadow ghosts and looked back, they saw that the remaining three shadow ghosts in the field had been torn apart by the enraged box shadow ghosts.
All five shadow ghosts died, and the five resurrected administrators ended up like Yubaba. They were swallowed up by massive negative emotions and died repeatedly in place until their life span was exhausted.
"The shadows swallowed by the Shadow God have been returned, but these people still don't have their own shadows. It seems that their shadows have not been fed to the Shadow God." Mu Youyou.
If the guess is correct, the shadows of these people should be in the hands of the person behind the scenes. This is his method of controlling these administrators and preventing them from rebelling.
"Roar!"
After venting his anger, Box Shadow Ghost was still not satisfied and had no intention of returning to the box. He quickly looked towards the depths of the West District and broke into the darkness of the West District like a bulldozer.
"It seems like it's going to take us there."
Mu You and Lin Xue hurriedly followed.
After the shadow ghost's huge body crashed through the maze in the West District, it finally broke into an empty hall.
This is a hexagonal hall. A ring-shaped pool several meters deep was dug out of the ground. The pool was filled with black and dense Gu insects.
As if sensing the approach of a human being, the bugs in the pool suddenly became excited, surging like waves.
"Roar!"
Shadow Ghost roared again, jumped directly into the pool, and launched a frantic attack on the Gu insects on the ground. The Gu insects quickly crawled all over Shadow Ghost's body. However, it was useless against the Shadow Ghost who could not parasitize. Instead, Shadow Ghost every With one claw, it can easily kill a large number of insects.
"Well……"
The two of them followed closely, and what they saw was this scene of Shadow Ghost frantically swatting at bugs.
"It seems to have quite a feud with these insects..." Lin Xue said.
Mu You also had a weird look on his face. He originally thought that Shadow Ghost rushed in to take them to find the person behind the scenes, but instead he came here and started a battle of wits with the insect...
This is not incomprehensible. The owners of these shadow ghosts were basically tortured by the Gu insects here during their lifetimes. It is certain that they have psychological shadows related to this Gu pond, and these negative emotions were finally transferred to the Shadow Ghosts.
Seeing the scene of Shadow Ghost frantically killing insects in the pool like a vindictive child, Mu You suddenly remembered something and hurriedly ran to the other side of the Gu pool.
In the corner of the Gu Pond on the other side, there is a golden silkworm chrysalis the size of a finger growing on the ground. The surrounding bugs consciously stay away, leaving a circular open space around the silkworm chrysalis.
Mu You jumped directly into the open space and carefully picked up the silkworm chrysalis.
This silkworm chrysalis hasn't hatched yet, so it can't be contracted for the time being. Let's take it back and raise it first.
As soon as the silkworm chrysalis was in hand, the insects around him suddenly turned to Mu You and fled away from him one by one.
Mu You ignored the bug and looked up at the high platform in front of the Gu Pond.
The person behind the scenes was hidden on the high platform before, and seemed to stay here for a long time. Of course, after the Shadow God was out of control, there must be no one on it now.
Mu You jumped onto the high platform. As expected, there was no one on the dark high platform.
Lin Xue also jumped over from behind and condensed a ball of light on the tip of the wand, illuminating the surrounding area.
The high platform is arranged like a study room. There is a bed in the deepest part of the study room. In front of the bed are desks, bookshelves and other furniture. However, all the furniture has been broken into pieces, and many of them have been crushed into the ground. There were a lot of broken papers, books, and notes scattered on the floor, as if they had just been pricked by a monster.
Mu You walked to the center of the room, switched to vampire skin, and released the search spell. The search target was still 'Louise'.
Tens of seconds later, the search yielded results. Mu You followed the golden guidance runes and finally pulled out a note from a book on an abandoned bookshelf.
[...Because of similar personalities and habits, Sayaka and I get along more and more harmoniously. She is like a little angel, always warming me up with her smile. When I am with her, I can temporarily forget what is happening in front of me. Worry, I regard her as my only relative here, and her status in my heart even exceeds Mianmian... However, today, I learned a piece of news that almost broke me: I overheard the administrator's conversation , or that is what they deliberately let me hear - Sayaka and I are about to undergo the 'final treatment', and we will be thrown into a place called 'Between Shadows', where we will suffer unimaginable torture. , it is a kind of mental torture that is ten times more painful than being thrown into a Gu pond. The two of us will bear this pain at the same time, but each person can actively choose to share some pain with the other. One of them will bear more, The pain that the other person needs to endure will become less, but the pain will never stop and will not stop until one of them dies... The administrator's words hinted to me that he would either die to protect Sayaka or kill Sayaka. Yexiang, stay alive... Before the final treatment started, I had already fallen into huge mental torture...
——8/8]
Sure enough, it was the last 'Fragmentary Page of Louise's Diary'.
Mu You was stunned after reading it.
The diary actually mentions the 'shadow room'. Judging from this meaning, the shadow room can also pull ordinary people into it, trap it in the shadow room, and forcibly impose some kind of 'torture'. It seems that the shadow ghost uses this method to Methods are created.
Of course, the shadows he had seen before did not have this ability. It seemed that it was a new ability that could only be unlocked after the shadow pom-pom was upgraded to a certain level.
"Mu You, look at this!"
Lin Xue suddenly came over, holding a stack of information brochures that he had just found somewhere.
Mu You took it and took a look.
The cover of the document reads: "Record of Controllable Shadow Ghost Experiment".
Muyou opened it and saw that the first page was densely packed with numbers. Each number was followed by an '○' or '×', which represented success and failure of the experiment respectively. From the statistics column below, there were a total of There are more than 2,500 numbers, of which only 57 are circled.
In other words, only 57 controllable shadow ghosts have been born so far?
Mu You turned directly to the last page.
After the first page, there are 57 more pages, which corresponds to the number of 57 controllable shadow ghosts.
Mu You checked from back to front and found that there were two photos posted on each page, registering the information of two people. One of them was a certain age of the child, and the other was not sure, including men, women, and children of various ages. All.
Further down are the handwritten 'experimental results'.
The result of each page is that one of the people chose to endure all the pain and die in order to save the other person. This person will become an ordinary shadow ghost, and the person who is saved will indeed survive, but he will not be able to escape. Instead, after experiencing huge mental ups and downs, it will become a human-shaped shadow ghost that retains consciousness, that is, the kind of controllable shadow ghost that can be grafted onto a human body.
When Mu You turned to the fifteenth page, he finally saw two familiar names: Louise and Sayaka.
As for the experimental results below, Mu You had actually guessed it before reading it: Louise took the initiative to die in order to protect Sayaka and became an ordinary shadow ghost. Although Sayaka survived, she became a controllable shadow ghost. It was grafted into someone else's body and became someone else's fighting tool.
"This is No. 15, then No. 14..."
Mu You hurriedly continued to turn the page.
Sure enough, one of the two photos on page fourteen was very familiar to him. It was Ye Rumeng.
The other person on this page is Mianmian.
In other words, the little girl and Mianmian were assigned to one group in the experiment. The so-called number 14 actually refers to them both at the same time.
Judging from the previous results, the two people assigned to a group will eventually die and the other will live. One will become an ordinary shadow ghost, and the other will become a controllable shadow ghost... What about the two of them?
Mu You continued to look down.
However, the experimental results column below is empty.
This is also the only table with no results among all 57 pages of records.
