The scene of the shadow monster's body decomposing, dissolving, and finally turning into light particles and disappearing completely overturned the record of the shadow monster in Zhao Sida's database. Over a long period of time, countless extraordinary creatures and secret societies have studied shadow monsters and the shadow world: shadow monsters are creatures that are difficult to kill. They have ever-changing shapes and are harmless. They are resistant to physical attacks and magic. Regardless of attack, shadow monsters have a certain degree of resistance, and if they are injured, as long as they are given enough time, they can recover no matter what the injury is.
The organization once used a lot of manpower and material resources to conduct experiments on killing shadow monsters. It tried various methods, means and extraordinary powers to test how to kill shadow monsters simply and quickly. The final result of the experiment was: if you want to kill them, So far, the only way to completely evaporate and annihilate them is to use powerful energy. If even a little growth or residue is left, they will recover as time goes by.
That's why Zhao Sida was wondering why Wu Ming could easily 'annihilate' the shadow monster.
"No, it just changed its existence form."
Wu Ming didn't 'kill' the shadow monster. He who had just been strengthened didn't have the ability to kill the shadow monster. As Wu Ming said, he just changed the shadow monster's way of existence. The creeping shadow monster turned into a mask in his hand.
"Old Zhao, do you know something... called a persona?"
Various characters began to flash in Zhao Sida's eyes, as if searching a database. After a moment, she gave the answer: "Persona, an important concept in Jungian psychology, is used by individuals to make themselves public in society and in front of others. A side that can be displayed to ensure that it can be recognized by society, that it can be used to get along well with people and people you don’t like, and to achieve personal goals. Simply put, it is everyone’s role, which will play different roles in different situations. The father plays the role of son in front of the boss, the boss plays the role of employee, and the wife plays the role of husband. These roles are the personal masks that each person wears on different occasions."
"The personality mask I'm talking about... does have a deep connection with Jungian psychology..." Hearing Zhao Sida's unexpectedly serious answer, Wu Ming scratched his head in embarrassment, pointed to the mask in his hand and said, "This, I call this thing a persona, and it is also the shadow monster that I just 'annihilated'. When I was searching for navigation in another world, I accidentally found a functional module. If I use it, I can change the shadow monster. The nature of its existence, turning it into something like this like I just did.”
"Then use it like this..." Wu Ming put the cracked mask on his face: "Zhao Zhao! I am no longer a human being!"
The cracked mask began to emit a strange light, and then the mask turned into silk threads made of light and wrapped around Wu Ming's right hand. Gradually, a golden sword was woven into his hand, with a line of inscriptions engraved on it, A gorgeous knight's sword with gems dotted on the hilt.
"The King's Chosen Sword, the Sword in the Stone, calibur."
The information about the mask transforming into a weapon automatically flowed into Wu Ming's mind. Rather than being used as a knight's sword for fighting, it is more appropriate to think of this sword as a symbolic or decorative ceremonial sword. In a slightly more intense situation, It can be easily destroyed in battle, but for now, the ritual sword is enough to deal with shadow monsters.
The data stream was still flashing in Zhao Sida's eyes. If this kind of thing hadn't happened right in front of her, she would definitely not have been able to believe that the shadow monster could still be used in this way: "New data has been entered, and the shadow monster can change its existence form through special means. It can be made into a prop, but the specific principle is not yet clear.”
"We'll study the principle later. I'm also curious about why the persona turned into this thing... I don't know if this thing can emit light cannons to attack between other people's legs..." Wu Ming waved two The Sword in the Stone in my hand felt a little too light in my hand. I don’t know if it was the weapon that the shadow monster turned into, or because his physical fitness was fully strengthened: “In short, we need to find the target of this mission first. Navigation in another world, start navigation based on the coordinates of the target point."
"The coordinates have been confirmed and the navigation route is being planned for you."
Elizabeth, who was already deeply in a nap state, naturally missed such an episode.
Under the guidance of the different world navigation, Wu Ming and his party moved quickly towards the target point.
Along the way, Wu Ming and the others also encountered sporadic shadow monsters. Without exception, they were all in a very irritable state. Their aura of rushing towards people and wanting to tear them into pieces was just like tearing them apart from Wu Ming and his party. After displaying the figures in the cabinet, it sold all its five-star servants one by one, and went to melt its runes. However, no matter how angry the shadow monster's combat power is, it is just a weakling. Luodu was made into a persona by Wu Ming. After having the first experience, the shadow monster became more and more skilled in transforming its form. When he was about to reach the coordinate point, Wu Ming already had seven more in his hands. cards, two masks and three bullets.
These are all personas transformed by shadow monsters. After a simple test, Wu Ming also figured out how to use card-type and mask-type personas. As for bullet-type personas... Wu Ming estimates that he still needs to get one. A revolver can test its performance.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, had not opened her eyes during the whole journey. Even though the shadow monster was about to pounce on her, she was still sleeping soundly. Wu Ming was so frightened that he almost rushed to the rescue, but then Wu Ming realized that he was really She was thinking too much, because in a blink of an eye, the silly girl threw out her fist and knocked the shadow monster away.
Wu Ming did not expect that Elizabeth had actually practiced Sleeping Arhat Boxing.
Soon, Wu Ming and his party arrived at the coordinates on the navigation system.
If the scenery of the shadow world that Wu Ming saw along the way was almost a replica of the real world, then the foreign scenery that was displayed in front of Wu Ming and his group at this moment seemed even more magical and could make people realize it more intuitively. The difference between the shadow world and the real world.
It was a tower as huge as a mountain peak, towering into the clouds. It was like the legendary Tower of Babel that reached straight to the sky. Looking up from the bottom of the tower, it was impossible to see where the top of the tower was. It tore the shadow world apart. On the land of the city, deep ravines crisscrossed out from the tower. With his enhanced vision, Wu Ming could even see the shadow monsters wandering in the windows of high-rise buildings.
"Be careful, the front is no longer the shallow area of the shadow world..." Zhao Sida reminded Wu Ming softly, then grabbed Elizabeth and shook her roughly: "Wake up, get ready to get up and fight."
