The final experiment lasted a full hour. When the experiment was over, the shadows disappeared, and the two girls were expelled from it and returned to the surface, they had turned into two wriggling shadows.
"Yes, this is it! The first perfect work that I have been waiting for for thousands of years!" The person behind the scenes said with excitement in his voice, trembling slightly, while controlling his shadow to cover the larger shadow among them, and at the same time He hurriedly waved to the Ma Gan man behind him: "Quickly, control the other one too!"
"Yes!" The Ma Gan man nodded, took out a glass bottle, walked quickly to the front of another group of shadows, and reached out to grab the shadow.
As a result, before he could bend down, a beast-like roar suddenly came from the large shadow group next to him, and then a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out from it, transforming into a dark shadow ghost more than three meters high. When he appeared, he swung down his claws and directly smashed the Ma Gan man in front of him into a pulp.
This sudden change made the people behind the scene startled for a moment, and they hurriedly tried to control the shadows under their feet. However, after the violent shadow ghosts solved the Magan man, they immediately targeted him.
Before his shadow began to change, he raised his arm and slapped the man behind the scenes away.
The violent force caused the man behind the scenes to bleed from all his orifices instantly, and his body disintegrated and died while flying in the air. A few seconds later, both of them were resurrected more than ten meters away.
"Impossible, how could this happen?" The Ma Gan man looked at the shadow ghost in the distance who was dominated by rage and was smashing things around crazily.
The shadow ghost that had just completed the 'experiment' was like a newborn baby. It should be extremely weak. How could it be so powerful right after birth?
Moreover, it seems that he has broken away from the effect of the shadow?
"Nothing is impossible!" The people behind the scenes looked at the shadow ghost in front of them, but they were even more excited: "Obviously, the experiment was more successful than we imagined! The shadow ghost in a perfect state can actually be so powerful. , which far exceeds previous calculations... It seems that some experimental data need to be revised..."
"President, what should we do now?" asked the Ma Gan man.
"Go get the sealing box first and seal it."
"Yes!"... While the two of them were busy fighting against the violent shadow ghost, they didn't notice that another shadow on the ground transformed into the outline of a girl with a bob hair, and began to swim on the ground like a fish. She swam quietly all the way to the box on the edge of the high platform, and slipped in through the gap in the box... In the dark hospital corridor, Ye Rumeng stared blankly at the shadows on the ground, then turned to look at the window next to her.
Reflected in the glass, she had turned into another person, with black hair reaching her waist, red eyes... Only then did she realize that she had already transformed back into the person she had been when she ran through the darkness just now. Mianmian's appearance.
"Mengmeng..." Mianmian turned around quickly and looked at the tall shadow ghost blocking her in front of her, unable to hide her tears of sadness.
She was once such an innocent girl and turned into what she is now... She subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch Shadow Ghost, but after Shadow Ghost noticed her movement, he suddenly hid aside and said, It let out a low and painful cry, seeming to warn and implore her to stay away.
"Mengmeng?" Mianmian was stunned and stood there at a loss. She didn't expect that Mengmeng would resist her approach, which she didn't expect.
"Sure enough..." The middle-aged man immersed in the cylindrical device in the distance suddenly laughed when he saw this scene.
"What do you know?" Mianmian gritted her teeth and looked at the middle-aged man. She knew that this man must be more aware of Mengmeng's changes than she was.
"I have to admit that your fusion is more perfect than I expected!" The middle-aged man said: "Generally, one of the experimental subjects helps the other bear the pain, but the shadows of the two still exist independently. But your group is different. She not only helped you absorb all the painful parts of the shadow, but also transferred all the beautiful parts of her own shadow to you!"
"So, your shadows are actually divided into two parts after merging with each other. However, one part contains all hatred and pain, and the other part only leaves kindness and beauty. It is precisely because the separation is pure enough, That’s why the shadow ghosts created are so perfect!”
"And now, if you touch it, your shadows will be re-integrated and distributed, and the painful memories you have been separated from will return to you like a brand. It doesn't want you to bear even the slightest bit of pain. , or in other words, the meaning of its existence is to help you bear the pain. From the moment it was born, this has become its instinct, and of course it will avoid you."
"Mengmeng..." Mianmian burst into tears again when she heard this, looking at the shadow ghost who was carefully avoiding her. Even though she lost her memory and turned into a monster with only instincts, she was still guarding her last obsession. read.
"Although I sealed this shadow ghost at that time, without the existence of you as a 'controller', I still couldn't take it for my own use." The middle-aged man continued to speak in a calm tone, as if he was telling something related to him. Unrelated matter: "So I spent a lot of effort looking for you. To this end, I threw this shadow ghost out as bait and cooperated with the Chinese organization. I almost caught you in the middle and even gave you You installed a positioning device, but you didn't expect that your ability would be so difficult to deal with, and that organization was so useless that not only did the Shadow Ghosts get lost, but even their own organization was destroyed, causing all the clues to disappear... "Mu You listened silently to the other party's explanation. The 'Celestial Organization' the other party mentioned should refer to the Illuminati.
It seems that the reason why the Shadow Ghost Box appeared in the hands of the Illuminati was to attract the little girl to show up, and it almost succeeded. The positioning necklace on her body should have been installed at that time.
Fortunately, the little girl's elusive dreaming ability was strong enough, and she escaped. After that, there was an internal rebellion within the Illuminati, and the Shadow Ghost Box fell into his hands by accident.
It was no coincidence that the little girl appeared in his shop before, but she was attracted by the Shadow Ghost Box.
She and the Box Shadow Ghost are intertwined with each other and have an endless connection. No matter how far apart they are, fate and cause and effect will always bring them together.
"After that, I tried many times to find other children with a deep enough bond to restore the experimental process of your group. Unfortunately, even if I tried every means to simulate your situation, I could never replicate your situation. A miracle." The middle-aged man shook his head with emotion: "Otherwise, I should have completely controlled the Shadow God by now and become the only true god on this continent. How could these things happen later? What a pity... "
"Are these your last words?" Mu You breathed out and already took out his wand.
"Last words?" The middle-aged man looked up at him, smiled bitterly, and did not defend himself. Instead, he looked down at the circle of shadow ghosts in front of the device.
"These shadow ghosts are all high-quality shadow ghosts that I have personally cultivated over the years. Although they are not as powerful as No. 14, each of them has a strength close to the legendary level." Mu You looked at him with a strange expression: "You don't think that relying on the protection of these shadow ghosts can keep you alive, do you?" It is more troublesome to deal with so many shadow ghosts, but after all, he has the shadow pom-poms in his hand now, even if he can't defeat them, Simply purify them all, and these shadow ghosts will be no different from ordinary shadows in front of the shadow ball.
What's more, to kill the opponent, you don't need to fight the Shadow Ghost at all. You can just smash the opponent's life-saving device, and Deathstroke's suppressive power will naturally destroy him.
"Of course not." The middle-aged man shook his head: "You can even deal with a complete shadow god, let alone a few hundred shadow ghosts. From the moment the shadow god was defeated, I never thought about fighting you again."
"Then what are you doing?"
"These shadow ghosts are the gifts I prepared for you." The middle-aged man said: "The shadow pom poms eat shadows to grow, and the quality also depends on the quality. If the shadow fed is too poor, its growth rate will be extremely slow. Put these high-quality Feed all the shadows to the shadow pompom, which should be enough to help it survive its infancy."
"Oh? You want to bribe me?" Mu You understood instantly.
"That's understandable. Anyway, I want to make a deal with you."
"What deal?" Mu You was not in a hurry to make a move, intending to listen to what the other party wanted to say.
"As you can see, I have lost my shadow ball and all my strength. I have become a waning old man. It is even difficult for me to protect myself. I no longer pose any threat to you. Now I only hope to I will spend the last period of my old age as an ordinary person." The middle-aged man looked at Mu Youyou: "And in return for letting me go, in addition to these shadows, I will also put together the results of my research over the years. Give it to you! I have been researching underground for more than a thousand years, and it is not in vain. In the process of cultivating shadow pom-poms, I discovered some secrets about 'gods', and even the truth about this world!" It seems that for the sake of Confirming that what he said was true, the middle-aged man hurriedly added two sentences: "For example, it is clear that one can gain unlimited lifespan in the star spirit world, but why has no truly immortal person appeared so far? Another example is, star The lifespans of various races in the spirit world seem to be long, but the real history that can be studied is pitifully short, only less than four thousand years, and the history further back is blurry, leaving almost no substantive information. Record, why?" The middle-aged man looked at Mu You confidently: "I believe you will be interested in these things. As long as you sign the contract, I will tell you everything I know, how about it?" People without eternal life?
Mu You frowned when he heard this. He had not paid much attention to this before. Now that he thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was true that at least among the human race, he had not seen any immortal people. The one who lived the longest seemed to be The elders of the Wizards Association only have a life span of more than a thousand years.
Mu You pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, I refuse."
"Reject?" The middle-aged man was a little incredulous: "You are a fool. Exploring true knowledge should be something engraved in your bones. How could you refuse?"
"Because I will discover the truth myself, and I don't necessarily need to know it from you." Mu Youyou. The main reason is these two questions raised by the other party. Even if they know it, it will not directly improve him. Eternal life and other things are too far away from him. He will just have time to explore slowly in the future.
"That...it's really a pity..." The middle-aged man sighed, as if he understood his fate and stopped struggling.
"Bang!" In front of the device, one of the chains restraining Shadow Ghost suddenly broke. After the shadow ghost was stunned for a few seconds, it realized that it had been freed. However, it did not immediately go crazy and make a fuss. Instead, it slowly turned around and turned its gaze towards the middle-aged man in the device, with a fierce look all over its body.
"Bah bang bang..." Then more chains next to him were broken one by one. Hundreds of shadow ghosts were all free at this moment.
All the shadow ghosts turned around in unison and looked at the cylindrical device surrounded in the center. Rich rage and hatred emanated from them.
"Bang!" As the first shadow ghost took the lead, the cylindrical device shattered with a sound. The middle-aged man was flushed out with the liquid inside, and was pushed into the ground by the shadow ghost's slap.
The other shadow ghosts around him also roared angrily, and then rushed towards the middle-aged man... In the next few minutes, hundreds of shadow ghosts surrounded the middle-aged man and started a brutal massacre on him.
The middle-aged man kept resurrecting and dying, transforming into various forms of shadow ghosts on the way, to no avail, until all the shadow ghost skins were exhausted, and he returned to his original appearance, an old man with gray hair.
The person behind the scenes did not try any more resistance. He remained silent throughout the entire process and allowed the shadow ghost's claws to tear at his body. He was torn into pieces again and again, resurrected, died, and resurrected again, until his lifespan was completely exhausted... ...A few minutes later, a group of violent shadow ghosts in the distance finally had no target to vent their anger on. However, they were not satisfied with the elimination of the culprit. They quickly turned around and aimed at the three of them.
"You can't control them even if you keep them. Purify them all." Looking at the dark group of shadow ghosts rushing towards him, Mu You shook his head and threw the shadow pom-pom.
The shadow pom-pom landed in front of the three of them, facing the group of shadow ghosts rushing towards them. It immediately opened its mouth, and a strange wave emitted from it. This wave had no effect on people, but it had an impact on the surrounding shadow ghosts. A nemesis-like existence.
Under this fluctuation, all the shadow ghosts immediately stood still, a large amount of black energy emerged from their bodies and disappeared into the air, while the shadow ghosts quickly shrank in size.
In just ten seconds, all the shadow ghosts turned into ordinary shadows. They bumped around on the ground like headless flies. Finally, they were swallowed up by the shadow pom-poms one by one. One year's supply of food.
Of course, not all shadow ghosts have been purified and disappeared. The box shadow ghosts around Muyou and others still maintain their original shape after experiencing the fluctuations, and they look unchanged.
Shadow Pom Pom quickly turned his attention to the only shadow ghost present. The shadow ball jumped in front of the shadow ghost without believing in evil, opened its mouth towards it, and sent out a stronger purification wave.
However, no matter how hard it tried, the shadow ghost in front of it would not move at all. After two consecutive attempts to no avail, Shadow Pom Pom seemed to be unable to hang on. His little face wrinkled into a ball, as if he was holding his breath, as if he was preparing for a bigger wave.
But before it was ready, the shadow ghost above became impatient and suddenly slapped it down. The shadow pom-pom suddenly resembled a ball, bouncing back and forth on the ground and in the palm of the shadow ghost's hand for more than a dozen times before stopping. At that time, I was completely blinded by stars, my consciousness was blurred, and all the facial features on my face were flattened.
But Shadow Ghost was still not satisfied. He held the shadow pom-pom in his hands and kneaded it like a piece of plasticine until he had enough fun before throwing it away.
As soon as the shadow pom-pom fell to the ground, it jumped back into Mu You's shadow as if running away, and quickly got into the shadows, never daring to show its head again.
The three of them were watching with interest, but Mianmian suddenly felt that her eyelids were heavy and she fell straight forward. Fortunately, Mu You caught her with quick eyes and hands.
Looking down, Mu You realized that she had fallen into a deep sleep. The onset of narcolepsy could happen anytime, anywhere, without any warning.
"Roar!" The shadow ghost next to him suddenly roared, glaring at Mu You with black energy surging all over his body, teeth and claws bared.
"What are you doing? It's none of my business, she fell asleep on her own!" Mu You said hurriedly.
"Roar!" Shadow Ghost roared again, this time in a longer voice, as if he wanted to express something.
"Don't worry, I will take her back to the pet shop and I won't leave her alone." Mu You naturally couldn't understand what Shadow Ghost said, but after all, he had been carrying this guy for a long time, so he could probably guess what it wanted to express. What.
Shadow Ghost's IQ is not high and he cannot distinguish between good and bad in the human world, but he and the little girl have lived in the pet shop for a long time. It is the only safe place recognized by Shadow Ghost.
"Woo..." Shadow Ghost murmured this time, seemingly satisfied with Mu You's answer, and put away his anger.
"What about you? What are your plans next?" Mu You looked at Shadow Ghost again, took out the Shadow Ghost box, opened the lid and handed it in front of it: "If you don't trust her words, why not come back with me, and it's up to you. Come and guard her." As soon as the seal box appeared, Shadow Ghost immediately took a step back warily. After hesitating for a few seconds, he suddenly slapped the box and flew it away.
Then Shadow Ghost jumped directly behind Mu You, turned into a black shadow, and got into Mu You's shadow. Mu You hurriedly checked the shadow.
At this moment, among the shadows, the shadow ghost is torturing the shadow pom-pom, chasing the shadow pom-pom all over the ground. After catching it, it treats it as a decompression toy, holding it in its arms and kneading it wantonly.
"It's true that one thing brings another..." Mu You shook his head in amusement, stood up and walked to the cylindrical device in the distance, picking up the remnants of the Shadow Ghost scattered on the ground.
However, while he was busy picking up the loot, a blue ghost suddenly floated above the broken device on the side.
Mu You was stunned, turned around and glanced, and was speechless: "Are you strong enough to withstand beatings, and you won't die like this?" The soul that appeared at this time was the remnant soul of the old man behind the scenes just now, but this remnant soul It is already looming, extremely weak, and may dissipate at any time.
The condition for the emergence of a remnant soul is that when a person dies, if there is still some strong hatred or obsession that has not been completed in the spirit, there is a certain chance of forming a remnant soul. However, if this remnant soul is not preserved in a special container in time If it comes down, it will still dissipate quickly.
"Originally, I really planned to get rid of it... but it wasn't until I was dying that I realized that I was still unwilling to study something that I had studied all my life... just disappeared with me quietly... leaving no trace..." Remnant Soul said intermittently.
"So?" Mu You raised an eyebrow.
"So... just think of it as your reward for preventing the Shadow God from reappearing and saving the world... The innermost side of the high platform of the Gu Pond, the third floor tile from the true north, fifteen meters below... What I'm studying All...are kept there..."
