Chapter 227: The Mystery in the Shadows (One Update!) )
Stepping on the tail of the night before dawn, Yi Qiu came to this speakeasy hidden in the suburbs.
In the end, Yi Qiu still didn't let the bright fat man lead the way, but asked him to mark the location for himself on the map of Du Niang.
There used to be some factories in the suburbs, but due to later government policies, they were evacuated one after another.
Some of the vacant sites have been abandoned there, and some have been bought and converted into warehouses and the like.
Sometimes, it also provides a cheap and safe base camp for some dark forces.
From a distance, the area is unrecognizable, as it is surrounded by weeds and dust like other abandoned factories.
It used to be a sulfur factory, and although it has been evacuated for a long time, the water quality in the small ditch next to it still looks bad.
Yi Qiu's figure suddenly disappeared from the outside of the factory, and then teleported in through the shadow walk.
As long as there is a shadow, such an ordinary building cannot stop his steps.
Of course, for Yi Qiu, he can easily climb over the high walls of this ordinary factory, but this will leave traces, and it is best not to leave any traces for what he is about to do.
Inside the factory, Yi Qiu could see a nearby building that had been converted into a parking lot, and there were many vehicles parked in it, most of which were motorcycles.
The factory was quiet, and there was no light in sight.
However, in Yi Qiu's field of vision, the dense footprints on the ground pointed him in the direction.
Following the footprints, Yi Qiu quickly found the location of the original sulfur factory workshop.
Footprints converged here one after another, and then disappeared in front of a tightly closed iron door.
In the induction of the blind bucket, Yi Qiu was able to sense that there was a humanoid creature behind the door, which was obviously the person used by the bar to keep guard.
After all, for this kind of speakeasy, pornography, gambling and drugs are relatively daily programs.
Yi Qiu activated his shadow walking ability, and suddenly the gray-looking workshop and closed iron door in front of him all disappeared, and clusters of distorted irregular shadows appeared in Yi Qiu's field of vision.
Compared to the previous use of shadow walking, the shadow fragments that appeared in front of Yi Qiu this time showed the characteristics of small space and large number, which was completely different from the shadows in other places.
This shows that there are a large number of light sources in the workshop to produce this very complex situation.
Although Yi Qiu could only choose the nearest shadow fragment to teleport due to the distance limit of the shadow's walking, he could still observe the shadow situation in other areas.
Obviously, inside this abandoned workshop, it is likely to be the speakeasy that the two men are talking about.
Yi Qiu didn't rush to move, but stood in place and carefully observed the shadow fragments in front of him.
Although the shape of the shadow becomes very distorted as it moves down from the material realm to the shadow realm.
But after using the Shadow Walk for a while, Yi Qiu was able to gradually choose the one he needed from the countless distorted shadow fragments.
Of course, at present, Yi Qiu can also distinguish some shadow fragments that are relatively single in composition and relatively easy to distinguish.
For example, the shadow fragments that appeared in front of him now belong to a more complicated situation, judging from the direction, some of them should be shadows in the workshop hall, but because of the complex and diverse objects that make up the shadow fragments and the variety of light sources, the shape of the shadow fragments looks very strange.
In the eyes of some Shadow Masters, this is a distorted art, another manifestation of the true side of the world.
They believe that light and shadow are twins, and that so should the world be made.
In addition to the appearance of the world in the sunlight, in the distortion of shadows, the world will take on a completely different form.
It contains the infinite mystery of shadows, an endless treasure that exudes alluring magic.
However, for Yi Qiu, it was very difficult to directly reverse restore the shape of the shadow fragment to the appearance of the material world.
This requires not only sufficient spatial imagination, but also deep shadow knowledge and subspace knowledge.
What supports him in making the right choice is more often his extraordinary intuition generated by his unusual perception.
Yi Qiu touched his bald head, and he took a step towards one of the shadow fragments.
With his intuition and the relatively regular shape of its expression, Yi Qiu felt that the shadow fragment should be connected to a room that had been transformed in the workshop.

…………
Du Huadiao happily sat on his favorite sofa and smoked a cigarette, and in the smoke, a white and tender little hand reached over, and then stroked Du Huadiao's back.
Thinking of the boss who had been stuffed alive into the cement pillar, Du Huadiao gently exhaled a puff of smoke.
The famous Scar Chen, who slashed and killed most of his life on the road, was talking nonsense about retribution to his little brother who betrayed him when he was dying.
As soon as he thought of this, Du Huadiao smiled disdainfully.
Retribution?
Du Huadiao never believed in retribution.
If there was retribution, a person like him, who didn't know how much blood debt he carried, would have gone to hell to atone for his sins.
The fact is that those who clamored for retribution went to hell, but he Du Huadiao is still alive and well.
Du Huadiao is not afraid of retribution, he is only afraid of revenge, so the people who clamored for retribution were sunk by him.
Maybe Scar Chen is old, and he feels weak after finding that the knife is unstable.
Du Huadiao touched his belly, when he was a horse boy, the time passed very slowly on the road, but when he became the eldest brother, he was already a rather rich middle-aged man in a blink of an eye.
He thought of Scar Chen, who was also like this when he was stuffed alive into a concrete pillar.
This made Du Huadiao's heart appear a little gloomy, and he rudely opened the hand of the woman who was massaging him.
Then, in the woman's cowering and frightened eyes, he picked up the machete that he had carried with him all the year round.
Although it is well maintained, it is only a bargain from a roadside stall, and after all these years, the blade has become a little dull.
Du Huadiao stroked the blade of the knife, which was not smooth at all, but had many rough scratches.
This is a testimony of his horse boy years, or was it given to him by Scar Chen.
He always took it with him, warning himself not to be soft-hearted and not to forget the past.
Living in the same physical realm, living in the world of light and darkness are two very different experiences.
Du Huadiao held a machete in one hand and gently stroked the woman whose body trembled slightly with the other, and he enjoyed the feeling of being feared.
And at this time, suddenly a thick black mist poured in from outside the door, and suddenly the whole room fell into a darkness that could not be reached!
