Chapter 36: Captured
Downstairs, Chen Momo swiped online classes as usual.
But her eyes unconsciously looked at her mother, observing her mother's expression.
Although nothing unusual was observed, Chen Momo couldn't help but look at it.
Her mother sat on the side playing on her phone, ignoring her daughter's observations.
However, after seeing too much, Mrs. Chen also noticed the abnormal behavior of Momo's frequent observations.
"There's something on my face, you keep looking at me." Mrs. Chen switched the selfie camera on her mobile phone, looked at her face carefully, and thought that the mask was wearing backwards, but it was not.
"Nothing." When Chen Momo heard his mother say, he immediately stopped watching it.
After that, she kept looking at her phone and not at her mother.
Mrs. Chen had no desire to ask questions and continued to swipe her phone.
Time passed quietly, and it came to eight o'clock.
Kemon suddenly sent a message saying that he was ready.
Chen Momo secretly glanced at his mother, cautious, afraid of being discovered.
But my mother fell asleep on the cash register, her eyes closed, her eyelashes motionless, and she slept peacefully.
Chen Momo subconsciously looked at his mother's feet, there was no shadow.
Take a flash from your phone, and there is still no shadow.
The shadow is gone!
Chen Momoteng stood up suddenly, like an ant on a hot pot, not knowing what to do.
Da-da-da-da.
The sound of footsteps outside the store is getting closer and closer.
Turning his head, it was Kemon who walked into the store.
He looked at Mrs. Chen, who was sleeping on the table, and then at Mrs. Chen's feet, there was only the shadow of the chair, and there was no shadow of people.
"Where's your mother?" Kemon asked.
"I don't know." Chen Momo shook his head anxiously and looked at the layout of the entire convenience store.
"Looking for me?"
Suddenly, Mrs. Chen's puzzled voice sounded behind Kemeng.
Kemon turned and saw an additional shadow on the floor, like the shadow of a woman.
He didn't say a word, but aimed his hands at the humanoid shadow and fished it out of the air.
Both of Kemon's hands then turned pitch black, with dark shadows swimming over the palms.
The shadow of the person is too large, and the palm area is limited, so after grabbing the shadow, his palm is very black.
Kemeng's right hand flicked into Mrs. Chen's face, and the black shadow disappeared instantly, and Mrs. Chen regained her shadow.
The black shadow of his left hand began to squirm, and with a sudden, ran down Kemon's arm towards his torso.
Kermon clenched his fist violently, and the shadow's feet were caught, unable to move any further.
Reaching out and scooping it up, the strange shadow was caught in the palm of Kemon's hand and locked tightly in his fist.
"Did it work?" Chen Momo asked.
"It worked." Kemon nodded.
In front of the table, Mrs. Chen also slowly opened her eyes, as if she had just woken up.
"Mrs. Chen, you can rest here, I have something to discuss with Momo." Kemon said.
Mrs. Chen didn't know the specific situation yet, so she didn't know what had just happened, but she felt that she had just walked around the store and saw Kemeng looking for her, and then the next second, she woke up again.
So was she dreaming just now?
"Mom, then I'll go." Momo's voice rang in Mrs. Chen's ears.
"Well, go ahead." She didn't stop and watched the two leave the store.
Upstairs.
Kemeng and Chen Momo came to the dining table together, and when Momo went upstairs, his eyes kept staring at his fist.
The shadow has been pressed into the palm of Kemon's palm, and no shadow leaks out, so the back and edge of Kemon's palm are no longer black.
"Chen Momo, in fact, you have also been invaded by shadows, but you haven't realized it yet." Kemeng looked at Chen Momo's shadow, which was the news that the dog had told him.
"Ah, I've been invaded too?" She was surprised, she didn't expect that her shadow was also problematic.
"yes, I'm going to get it out." Kemeng shook his hand first, and forcibly loaded the shadow in his palm onto a black ant.
"Do you want to catch it, I can catch it now." Kemon's hands are empty, and he can grab a target at the same time with both hands 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 shadow, "Catch it." ”
At her feet, the shadow remained motionless, unusual.
But Amungo said so, and of course she chose to believe it.
"Then you sit down first to avoid fainting on the ground."
Kemeng watched Chen Momo sit obediently on the chair, and then scooped her shadow with both hands.
In the next moment, Chen Momo tilted his head and lost focus.
Kemeng shook his right hand, and Chen Momo's eyes regained their brilliance.
"Okay?" Chen Momo asked.
For her, it seemed that she was just in a trance, and the next second she came back.
"It's already possible." Kemon said.
"You wait here." Kemon grabbed the shadow number one he had caught back in his palm, then clenched two fists and went to the big-faced cat in the bedroom.
Chen Momo stayed in the living room, curiously looking at his shadow.
On the other side of the bedroom, Kemon didn't add strange knowledge.
It seems that the two things in his hand are both so-called shadow species, so no new knowledge points were born.
Kemon returned to the living room and put the shadows back on the two bugs.
"Now, what are you going to do with them?" Chen Momo was a little scared and a little curious in the face of this kind of new thing, and the two accounted for half of each.
"I'd like to ask where they came from, but the bugs can't speak, which is nerve-wracking."
Kemon sat in his chair and looked at the two bugs, a little distressed.
Both small bugs are insects and ants, and when they have a shadow, they begin to show different things.
The first is the shape of the shadow, the small ant pulls out the shape of a human in the sun, but due to the size of the insect itself, the shadow does not pull very large.
Yes, Kemon read that right, it was in the shape of a human being.
This proves that both anomalous appearances may be human shadows.
But can the shadow of a normal person escape from the body on its own?
Kemon himself didn't know how to manipulate his own shadows to leave his body, so he was sure that these two shadows were not normal.
"Can't you let them write?" Chen Momo moved the small chair and stepped back, away from the two insects, afraid that they would leave her body again, and then take the opportunity to burrow into her shadow.
"That's a good idea."
Kemeng nodded lightly when he heard Momo's plan.
If shadows can retain their minds, then let them write, and it won't stump them.
Kemon saw that the two insects did not move, but only moved the tentacles on the ant's head, as if they were communicating with the tentacles.
"If you two can hear it, write it in the way ants walk, and write your names and ......"
Kemon knocked on the table and said solemnly to the two ants.
The rice balls on the side stood still, using their hair to sense the progress of things.
