"Isn't it normal for someone to be in the park..." Wu Ming muttered disapprovingly, and then looked in the direction of Elizabeth's finger, but the scene that came into view immediately made him say a curse word full of shock and confusion, " What the fuck?!”
What Elizabeth was referring to was definitely not a 'person' in the usual sense. If we really wanted to give it a more precise name and definition, we could only say that it was... something with an approximate human appearance.
It has a height of nearly two and a half meters, with slender limbs that are disproportionate to the torso and a body that is as flat as a paper figure. Its entire body is as black as ink and looks like an elongated human figure.
The moment he saw this strange creature, Wu Ming already made a judgment in his heart: it was a shadow monster.
And it’s a shadow monster that wanders into the real world!
He did not wonder why the shadow monster appeared in the real world at this time, he crushed the card that quietly appeared in his hand.
Persona·Jack Frost!
The little snowman wearing a clown hat reunited in the broken light. He flashed in the air and flew to the shadow monster. Then he raised his somewhat stubby snowman arm and blew gently towards the shadow monster. A breath of frost.
The shadow monster let out a low, threatening roar. The appearance of Jack Frost made it instinctively feel the threat of a natural enemy. Its paper-black body 'boiled', and the black mud that made up its body surged. Fighting against the falling temperature around him, a crack opened in the shadow monster's chest. In an instant, a dozen slender little black hands sprang out from the crack to grab Jack Frost in the air.
On the other side, Jack Frost seemed to have already had a countermeasure. Faced with the dozens of small black hands grabbing at him, Jack Frost jumped up and down to avoid them with a weird laugh, while calmly waving his snowman arms in all directions. It is covered with frosty air and pieces of crystal clear light crystals as fine as sand grains.
Some of those crystal clear light particles floated in the air with the airflow like dust, while others quietly covered the shadow monster's body. But the shadow monster obviously does not have enough intelligence to notice the changes in its body. It attacks blindly under the control of irritability and aggression, but unknowingly becomes contaminated with more shimmering light particles.
The moisture in the air forms ice crystals under the active attraction of light particles as fine as sand and dust. Clusters of ice crystals 'grow' like plants on the limbs of the shadow monster and the tentacles extending from its chest and abdomen, and are waving. The limbs were broken and fell to the ground amidst the crisp crackling sounds. The small black hands twisted and fell to the ground, and after a while they returned to their original shape - a pool of squirming black mud.
"Hehehe~"
The air echoed with Jack Frost's laughter as he succeeded in his mischief. Under the dual effects of frost air and ice crystals, the hot and dreary environment around the shadow monster had become as bitterly cold as the severe winter of March 9th. Then he waved his arms again and again, driving The frosty air vaporizes the remaining moisture in the air and takes away the heat, further pushing the surrounding temperature to below minus ten degrees!
A layer of frost gradually appeared on the noodle shadow monster's body under the frost and ice. Wu Ming seized the opportunity of the opponent's stiffness and stepped out. He threw out the sword of king's choice with his left hand and nailed the shadow monster. In place, sealing off its last ability to move, the right hand flashed with a hazy light and opened its five fingers, then pressed hard on the opponent's head and pinched it hard!
Click!
With a crisp sound, the shadow monster's head had been frozen by the frost. Wu Ming squeezed most of the head into pieces. The hazy light on his right hand flashed. Under the action of the material conversion module, the shadow monster's head was broken into pieces. The body began to disintegrate, reverse, and transform into another form. The light particles flying due to the disintegration gathered together and transformed into a small stream of light that gradually converged. Finally, when the shadow monster's body collapsed, A transparent card glowing with blue light formed, spinning and floating in front of Wu Ming, and was taken into his hand.
"Big brother! It's not over yet! More shadow monsters will appear at your one o'clock, three o'clock, and eleven o'clock directions!" Queen Crimson adjusted the reading interval in her mind, which seemed a little bit... A rapid synth sound rang out.
Wu Ming, who had just put away the card, couldn't help but frown.
Apparently the Crimson Queen had just activated her ability and saw the future that was about to happen in a few seconds.
Then, as if to confirm what she just said, a deep and dark round hole suddenly appeared on the sparkling lake. The dark and deep round hole had a strange suction, and not only was it unable to be illuminated by the dazzling and scorching afternoon sun, Inside the round hole, even just looking at the bottomless black round hole, you will feel that your mind, soul and consciousness will be sucked into it, and you will never be able to escape the illusion.
Deep, dark round holes also appeared one after another on the walking path along the lake and the lawn garden on the right.
A large number of shadow monsters of various shapes poured out from the bottomless black round hole.
The slender noodle shadow monster like before; the slime shadow monster crawling on the ground with both hands; the round shadow monster with strange patterns on its body, floating like a balloon; there are also those wearing clothes who look like Kazuto. Big difference in shadow monsters.
At this time, Wu Ming discovered that in addition to being completely black, these shadow monsters also had another common feature - including the noodle shadow monsters, they all wore a white mask somewhere on their bodies. These masks were similar to the masks worn by the slime shadow monsters he had seen in the shadow world before, and the masks worn on the shadow monsters all had expressions, and the masks on each shadow monster had expressions. The expressions are all different.
The expressions carved and painted on the mask include crying, laughing, frightened, angry, sad and fearful. Coupled with these shadow monsters of different shapes, the whole scene looks particularly weird.
But Wu Ming had no time to think about the meaning behind the changes that had occurred on them, because the first batch of shadow monsters that rushed out of the dark round hole were now spreading outward.
"Do you need help?" Mori, who had been silent since leaving the house, suddenly said, "My wishing technique may be able to help in this state."
"It's not necessary. Silly Bai and I can handle this level." Wu Ming shook his head and refused the kindness of making a wish to Mori. He took out more blue cards from his arms and crushed them one by one, summoning another one. A persona, "Module·Cognitive Modification..."
Invisible ripples spread. With the output power accurately adjusted, this cognitive modification will affect ordinary people in a nearby street. All people who are planning to pass by will avoid this road under psychological suggestion. The residents living here have directly modified their visual perception, making them blind to the extraordinary events that are about to happen here.
At the same time, Elizabeth, who had a telepathic connection, also transformed into a supernatural form and rushed out. During the charge, her body was divided into two, two into four, and four into eight. The four parts continued to multiply at this speed. In a few moments, a large group of Elizabeths had evolved. Run towards the direction where there are shadow monsters in all directions!
