Chapter 487: After a brief conversation with the non-existent employee, the two fell into silence again.
"By the way, how are you sure that Huoxin is not a hidden artifact in the city lord's building?" Xiao Ye suddenly frowned and asked.
This matter is indeed a bit strange. Li Luan didn't go to the city main building, how did he determine this matter?
Could it be said that he knows Zhuoxin? Or maybe there are other reasons. After Xiao Ye asked, he quietly waited for Li Luan's answer.
After Li Luan listened to this question, he looked at the tea cup in his hand and fell into deep thought, as if he was remembering something. After a long time, he spoke slowly.
"Who has lived for so long without having one or two friends?"
"That's right." Xiao Ye nodded. There is absolutely no problem with this answer.
"That's it, I'll contact you if you have any questions." Xiao Ye stood up and prepared to leave. Seeing Xiao Ye stand up and leave, Li Luan suddenly said: "There are only two days left, you have to hurry up." Xiao Ye stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"knew!"
"You should also pay more attention to yourself." Li Luan added something incomprehensible. ... There are only two days left, and time is already very tight, especially since there is no gain at all today.
"Should we just break in?" Xiao Ye was walking back, lost in thought. According to the current situation, it is impossible for him to figure out what the artifact in the city main building is in two days.
"Tick, tick!" Suddenly, a strange sound sounded in the alley, like the sound of raindrops falling on the ground.
Xiao Ye woke up from his reverie and looked around cautiously. The experience of these two days made him deeply understand that this underworld is not as simple as imagined.
"Tick, tick, tick." The voice still did not stop, ringing in Xiao Ye's ears like a curse.
right. left. front. behind. For a moment, Xiao Ye couldn't tell where the sound came from, as it seemed to come from any direction.
Xiao Ye sniffed his nose and smelled a strange smell.
"It's like the power of a demon, but not too pure, strange!" Xiao Ye couldn't help but murmur. Looking at the dim lights around him, Xiao Ye's vision turned to his own shadow.
That strange smell emanates from his own shadow. When did something else get mixed into my shadow?
After a moment of silence, Xiao Ye ignored the thing and walked straight towards the depths of the alley.
"Are you sure that I can't find it, so you are so unscrupulous in my shadow?" Xiao Ye glanced at his own shadow. Under the light, it was constantly changing its shape. The thing inside must be very active.
Returning to Wang Hao's home, Xiao Ye did not turn on the light and sat in the darkness. In the darkness, because there was no light, his shadow did not appear.
There was no shadow, and the strange smell did not appear.
"What on earth is this?"
"When did it target me again?" Xiao Ye recalled the conversation with Li Luan.
"Pay more attention to yourself?" When he left, Li Luan said such an inexplicable sentence. He didn't pay attention to it at the time. Now that he thinks about it carefully, maybe it means something abnormal about himself.
So he simply discovered the abnormality in his shadow, but didn't tell himself.
"Why?" Xiao Ye was puzzled. Why didn't he tell himself directly, but in this indirect way.
While pondering, Xiao Ye recalled a detail again. In the messy room, when he was talking to Xiao Ye, he was sitting in a strange position with the light behind him, so the light could not cast a shadow on him.
So the creatures in the shadow are contagious and can they spread between different individuals through the shadow?
Li Luan knew this, so he didn't show his shadow. In this way, Xiao Ye sat in the darkness all night.
He did not try to dispel the strangeness in the shadow. Xiao Ye would not do anything until he figured out its origin. Maybe this thing was also a clue.
After dawn, Xiao Ye walked out of the door, took a look at his own shadow, and found that the aura was no longer there. Presumably, this kind of thing would never appear during the day again.
After buying breakfast, Xiao Ye came to the city main building. After testing, he entered the monitoring room.
"Where are the people?" Xiao Ye looked at the empty monitoring room and frowned. At this time, Brother Li should have been sitting here waiting for him to deliver breakfast.
But there was no one today. This may be an ordinary little thing. After all, Brother Li may be late, or unable to come because of something, or perhaps not planning to come.
"Employee Li Duo's vital signs disappeared one minute ago!" Just when Xiao Ye was wondering, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the monitoring room.
"Employee Wang Hao, please go to employee Li Duo's location immediately and recycle everything related to the city main building. The specific location has been sent to your employee ID card through the terminal." Xiao Ye took out his employee ID card and fiddled with it. Only then did he discover that this employee ID card, which looked very simple on the surface, was actually a special tool similar to a mobile phone.
A light curtain was projected from the employee ID card. The light curtain was a map, with a red dot and a green dot on the map.
The green dot indicates Xiao Ye's location, and the red dot should be Li Duo's location if he guessed correctly.
"Employee Wang Hao, please go to employee Li Duo's location immediately and recycle everything related to the city main building. The specific location has been sent to your employee ID card through the terminal." While thinking, the cold voice sounded again to urge Xiao. Ye.
"Do you want to go?" Xiao Ye hesitated.
"Warning, employee Wang Hao, please obey the order and go to employee Li Duo's location immediately to recover everything related to the city main building." Xiao Ye's face changed. This voice actually ordered him. What did he take him for?
Or maybe the relationship between the employees here and the city main building is not as simple as he imagined.
After hesitating for a second or two, Xiao Ye wrote down Li Duo's location, then put away his employee ID card and left the city main building.
According to regulations, employees are not allowed to leave the city main building during work, but today when Xiao Ye walked to the gate, no one came to stop him.
Xiao Ye looked back at the city main building and stared for a long time. For some reason, he always felt like something in the building was staring at him.
...Xiao Ye arrived at the location of Li Duo's body, only to find that someone had already been here.
"Police or what?" Xiao Ye saw that the alley had been blocked, and no one was allowed to get close to it.
In this case, he definitely wouldn't be able to get in and retrieve his things. It seemed that there was no chance. Xiao Ye looked at it for a while and found that someone had already gone in to pack things. Presumably there would be very few things related to this matter left in a while.
"Employee Wang Hao, please leave the scene of the incident immediately." Just as Xiao Ye was deep in thought, the employee ID card appeared again on the prompt.
Xiao Ye looked around and found that only he seemed to know this voice. How strange! Xiao Ye frowned, turned around and left.
After returning to the city main building, everything was no different from usual. The only difference was that the person patrolling became Xiao Ye alone.
The employee ID card also returned to normal, and no prompts sounded again. But there is something even stranger! Others don't seem to remember Li Duo.
Xiao Ye mentioned it while patrolling, but the security guard who was talking to him looked at him with a strange expression.
"Who is Li Duo? There is no such person here!" Xiao Ye was silent for a moment and said with a smile that he remembered it wrong.
The day passed quickly. This time Xiao Ye did not go looking for Li Luan, but returned directly to Wang Hao's home.
He felt that Li Luan would not tell him even if he knew about it. Rather than doing this, he might as well solve it himself.
After returning home, Xiao Ye turned on the lights and looked at his shadow. While on the road, he felt his shadow change.
"Are you going to come out on your own, or should I do it?" Xiao Ye stared at his own shadow and spoke slowly. Under the light, the shadow distorted for a moment, and then returned to normal.
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with wine!" Xiao Ye frowned, and the sword of all things guard appeared in his hand.
[Item name: Sword that guards all things] [Type: Sword] [Quality: Myth] [Origin: In ancient times, a human artifact forged by the ancient human race, with the power to guard all things!
】【Ability 1: Guard, guard everything! 】【Ability 2: Break the law, break all laws! 】【Ability 3: Immortal, indestructible!
】【Note: Non-humans cannot use this sword. ] [Usage conditions: Human race] [Bound by: Xiao Ye] looked at the shadow, and Xiao Ye spoke again: "Give you another chance, will you come out on your own or should I do it?" After waiting for a few seconds, the shadow still didn't come. What movement.
Xiao Ye lost his patience and suddenly inserted the Sword of All Things Guard into his own shadow. Sizzle!
A burst of black smoke emerged from the shadow, and a scream rang in Xiao Ye's ears. The sword of all things guarding penetrated the shadow and inserted into the ground.
Xiao Ye stood up and let his shadow leave the spot, but under the guarding sword of all things, there was a group of black shadows that kept twisting.
It seemed to want to escape, but it was held firmly in place by the All-Things Guarding Sword. The mighty power of the All-Things Guarding Sword was not something it could break free from.
"What on earth is this?" Xiao Ye looked at this black thing and felt a demonic power from it.
His previous feeling was not wrong, this thing was definitely related to demons. It's just that although this thing is weird, Xiao Ye can feel that it is very weak, hundreds of times weaker than a real demon.
This kind of thing is more like an existence that is integrated with the power of demons. After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ye stretched out his hand towards the black shadow.
