Downstairs, Chen Momo was taking online classes as usual.
But her eyes unconsciously looked towards her mother, observing her mother's expression.
Although nothing unusual was observed, Chen Momo couldn't help but look.
Her mother sat playing on her phone, ignoring her daughter's observations.
But after watching too much, Mrs. Chen also noticed the unusual behavior that Mo Mo had been observing frequently.
"There's something on my face, you keep looking at me." Mrs. Chen switched the selfie camera on her phone and looked at her face carefully. She thought the mask was on backwards, but it wasn't.
"It's nothing." Chen Momo stopped reading immediately when he heard his mother say.
After that, she kept looking at her phone instead of her mother.
Mrs. Chen had no desire to ask further questions and continued to scroll through her phone.
Time passed quietly and came to eight o'clock.
Ke Meng suddenly sent a message saying that he was ready.
Chen Momo then secretly glanced at his mother, cautiously, for fear of being discovered.
But my mother fell asleep lying on the cashier counter, her eyes closed, her eyelashes motionless, and she slept peacefully.
Chen Momo subconsciously looked at his mother's feet, but there was no shadow.
I took a photo with my phone's flash and there was still no shadow.
The shadow ran away!
Chen Mo stood up suddenly, like an ant on a hot pot, not knowing what to do.
Da da da.
The footsteps outside the store are getting closer and closer.
Turning around, he saw Ke Meng walking into the store.
He looked at Mrs. Chen, who was sleeping at the table, and then at Mrs. Chen's feet. There was only the shadow of the chair, not the shadow of anyone.
"Where has your mother gone?" Kemen asked.
"I don't know either." Chen Momo shook his head anxiously and looked at the layout of the entire convenience store.
"What's up?"
Suddenly, Mrs. Chen's confused voice sounded behind Kemeng.
Kemen turned around and saw a shadow on the floor, like a woman's shadow.
Without saying a word, he aimed both hands at the human-shaped shadow and fished it out from the air.
Then, both of Kemeng's hands turned pitch black, with dark shadows swimming on the palms.
The person's shadow is too large, and the palm area is limited, so after grabbing the shadow, his palm is very dark.
Ke Meng flicked his right hand towards Mrs. Chen's face, and the black shadow immediately disappeared, and Mrs. Chen also had a shadow again.
The black shadow on his left hand began to squirm, and with a swish, it ran along Kemeng's arm and towards his torso.
Kemen suddenly clenched his fist, and Shadow's feet were caught, making him unable to move further.
He stretched out his hand to fish it out, and Ke Meng caught the strange shadow in his hand and locked it tightly in his fist.
"Did it succeed?" Chen Momo asked.
"Successful." Kemen nodded.
In front of the table, Mrs. Chen slowly opened her eyes, as if she had just woken up.
"Mrs. Chen, please take a rest here. I have something to discuss with Mo Mo." Ke Meng said.
Mrs. Chen hasn't understood the specific situation yet, and she doesn't know what happened just now. She only thinks that she just walked around the store and saw Kemen looking for her, and then the next second, she woke up again.
So was she dreaming just now?
"Mom, I'm going then." Momo's voice sounded in Mrs. Chen's ears.
"Well, go ahead." She didn't stop him and watched the two of them leave the store.
upstairs.
Kemeng and Chen Momo came to the dining table together. When Momo went upstairs, he kept staring at his fist.
The shadow has been pressed into the palm of Kemeng's palm, and no shadow is leaking out, so there is no black on the back and edge of Kemeng's palm.
"Chen Momo, actually you have also been invaded by the shadow, but you haven't realized it yet." Kemeng looked at Chen Momo's shadow, which was the news Gouzi told him.
"Ah, I've been invaded too?" She was surprised. She didn't expect that there was something wrong with her own shadow.
"Yes, I plan to catch it out." Kemen waved his hand first and forced the shadow in his hand onto a black ant.
"Do you want to catch it? I can catch it at any time now." Kemeng's hands are empty and he can use both hands to catch a target at any time.
Chen Momo didn't hesitate. After knowing that there was a monster in the shadow, she couldn't help but look at her own shadow, "Catch it."
Under her feet, the shadow was motionless, nothing strange.
But Brother Amon said that, so of course she chose to believe it.
"Then sit down first to avoid fainting on the ground."
Kemeng watched Chen Momo sit on the chair obediently, and then touched her shadow with both hands.
The next moment, Chen Momo tilted his head and his eyes lost focus.
Kemeng flicked his right hand, and Chen Momo's eyes regained their sparkle.
"Okay?" Chen Momo asked.
For her, it seemed like she was just in a trance for a moment, and then came back the next second.
"It's ready." Kemen said.
"Wait here for a moment." Ke Meng grabbed the No. 1 shadow he had caught before, then held two fists and came to the big-faced cat in the bedroom.
Chen Momo stayed in the living room, looking at his shadow curiously.
Over in the bedroom, Kemon added no strange knowledge.
It seems that the two things in my hands are both so-called shadow species, so no new knowledge points have been born.
Kemen returned to the living room and put the two shadows back on the two bugs.
"Now, how are you going to deal with them?" Chen Momo was a little scared when facing this kind of new things, but also a little curious, half of each.
"I wanted to ask where they came from, but bugs can't talk, so it's really nerve-wracking."
Kemen sat on the chair and looked at the two bugs, feeling a little distressed.
The two little bugs are both insects and ants. After they have shadows, they begin to show different things.
The first is the shape of the shadow. The small ant draws out the shape of a human in the sun, but due to the size of the insect itself, the shadow is not very large.
Yes, Kemon read it right, it was in the shape of a human being.
This proves that the two abnormal appearances may be the shadow of humans.
But can the shadow of a normal person escape from the body on its own?
Kemen himself didn't know how to control his own shadow to leave his body, so he was sure that these two shadows were abnormal.
"Can't we let them write?" Chen Momo moved the small chair and backed away from the two bugs, fearing that they would leave the body again and then take the opportunity to get into her shadow.
"What a good idea."
Kemeng nodded slightly when he heard Mo Mo's plan.
If shadows can retain thoughts, then it won't be difficult for them to write.
Kemen saw that the two insects did not move, but moved the tentacles on the ant's head, as if they were communicating with the tentacles.
"If you two can hear me, just write like an ant walking and write your identity and name..."
Kemen knocked on the table and said solemnly to the two ants.
The glutinous rice balls on the side remained still, sensing the progress of things with their hair.
