Chapter 1053: Ghost Shadow (1)

The quiet Huaguan City, different from the prosperity of the day, although the Huaguan City at night is still brightly lit, but the quiet weird An Xiaoyu knows that this is because all the residential areas of Huaguan City are arranged with soundproof formations, in order to make the residents' own space.

Such avant-garde thinking can be said to be quite unique among foreign territories. An Xiaoyu sat by the window, looked at Yan Ya on the bed, closed her eyes and began to consolidate her law comprehension. Iwaya's body is very weak, and although he looks strong, he actually has a lot of internal problems, and he has been sleeping after eating at night.

An Xiaoyu used the law of cause and effect to adjust the balance in Yan Ya's body, and had a new understanding of the law of cause and effect. Such a quiet night is just right for the law of perception.

However, at this time, An Xiaoyu's brows suddenly wrinkled, and her closed eyes reopened, looking in one direction outside the window, as if she was about to cross the vast city and see the other side of the city, but there was nothing outside.

Reaching out and knocking on the solid wood windowsill, An Xiaoyu still didn't make a sound after all.

Just as An Xiaoyu closed her eyes again, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the street in the northeast of Huaguan City. Under the light of the law lights that spread all over the streets of Huaguan City, the black shadow seemed to be very illusory, fluttering and flickering, as if it was about to dissipate in the next moment.

But it was still moving, on the wall, on the ground, on someone else's window, as if it were a living shadow. It would stop at the window of a house, suddenly become very tall, and then peek inside.

Or it may become very small, dodging the aliens that suddenly pass by, watching the aliens in front of them cautiously, waiting for them to cross the street, and then carefully reprogramming the normal size and moving on, without any being knowing what it is looking for.

This shadow didn't even bring any breath of life, if it weren't for the great cause and effect entangled in its body, and even interfering with the causal aura of the entire Huaguan City, An Xiaoyu wouldn't have been able to discover its existence. But what exactly is it going to do? Where did you come to Huaguan City? What is it?

An Xiaoyu is in no mood to care, this is Huaguancheng, even if something happens, it will be Huaguancheng's problem in the end, not An Xiaoyu's problem. If you want to enter the fairy flower sea, An Xiaoyu needs enough time to look for opportunities, and looking for opportunities, it is better not to appear in a high-profile manner.

The shadow crossed several streets, glancing at the windows of almost every house, often showing a look of regret. If this scene is seen by other aliens, I am afraid that they will be a little surprised, obviously this shadow is a simple black shadow in the shape of a spire, but through simple actions, it brings people some emotional fluctuations, it is simply very weird.

It looked at window after window, regretting it again and again. Finally, in a corner in the northeast of Huaguan City, in front of a house that seemed to be no different from other places, the shadow looked into the window and saw a dozen or so members of a foreign family sleeping peacefully, which showed that this was a wealthy household.

Suddenly, the black shadow suddenly trembled, and on the black shadow in the shape of a spire, two or three openings suddenly opened, and the openings were penetrated by the light, gradually spreading into three narrow cracks, and then slowly becoming curved, turning into a creepy smiling face.

The smiling face trembled a few times, as if laughing, but did not make any sound. Then, as soon as the shadow turned, the smiling face disappeared, as if facing away from the light, and then turned into a slender shadow and burrowed into the window of the house.

"Ahh However, under the soundproofing formation, none of these sounds came out of the house, and the surrounding aliens were still asleep, and no existence noticed what was happening here.

The commotion soon subsided, and the houses were quiet again, without a single sound. The shadow came out of the window again, and a smiling face appeared on the shadow, and after looking around, and seeing that there were no other creatures, it laughed twice again, and turned away, leaving a bloody handprint on the wall.

The next morning, the neighbor who found the bloody handprint noticed that something was wrong, and when he looked in through the window, he found that the dozen or so neighbors who usually talked and laughed with them had now turned into corpses, lying in a pool of blood inside, and there was no breath left.

"Ahh The neighbors shouted loudly, and soon the patrols of the city defenders were summoned. When the patrol team saw this scene, they also immediately became serious. When Huaguan City was about to hold a festival celebration, something like this happened in the city, which made them sense an aura of conspiracy.

"Open the door!" The patrol team found the housekeeper here, and after opening the formation and the door, they saw the tragic situation inside. The aliens who were watching outside also saw a little scene from the door, even if they were aliens, they were a little panicked after seeing it.

Most of the corpses had been shattered, the large pieces of the corpses still retained their basic shape, and the small pieces, some glued to the wall and some to the ceiling. The entrails were dripping with blood, the entire floor was soaked in bright red, and the whole room smelled of blood.

Many aliens couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses, and some races who were not good at facing blood turned around and left. The patrol team also began to disperse the surrounding crowd, which was not something to watch and would also affect their investigation.

The tragedy of destroying the door, such a thing may not be abnormal in normal times, but it is not quite right at this time. The important festival of Huaguan City is the anniversary of the four major races in the city claiming that they were crowned by the fairy flower sea, and it is the face of the nobles of the entire Huaguan City.

Of course, there are a lot of alien races who usually have a lot of complaints about this festival, after all, everyone knows that the flower fairies of the fairy flower sea will never admit that any race is a flower official, and of course they will not care about what they claim to be. However, these existences who have opinions about the canonical festival may cause something big now.

The destruction of a foreign family may be a small matter, but if it represents a conspiracy against the entire Sealed Festival, then the matter is a big deal. If such a conspiracy really exists, once the investigation is neglected and they succeed and the entire celebration is ruined, then the faces of the four major races in Huaguan City will all be thrown to the ground and trampled on.

Is this still worth it?

So the patrol immediately reported to the city defenders, who sent a large number of helpers over to deal with the corpses, investigate the wounds, and check the fluctuations of the law. But surprisingly, there was nothing left in the whole room, nothing but the corpses, clean and clean.

There were no footprints, no traces of lockpicking, as if nothing had ever been in or out. Even the corpses on the ground, according to the investigation, seemed to be tied to the body by a rope, directly pulled and torn apart, or simply wrapped in something, and then crushed the body with huge force.

However, there were no fluctuations in the law at the scene, not even on the wounds and strangulation marks of the corpse, such a discovery made the faces of the city defenders very ugly. They are already basically sure that if the other party is not targeting the sealing festival, it is definitely premeditated, otherwise it would not have been possible to do it so cleanly.

And the opponent's means are very superb, so they can't see what race did it, at least the race that can be seen near Huaguan City, they don't think anyone has such ability. Then there is only one explanation, this guy is foreign.

"Immediately investigate the outsiders and see if there is a corresponding."

After the order was given, the city defenders began to investigate the records of entering the city these days. Although not all the entry and exit records of Huaguan City can be recorded, just like Yanya, who sneaked in a sack and came in, it was not in their book.

Even so, they were quick to set a goal. This goal is very coincidental, it is Yinggett who followed An Xiaoyu into the city. The shadow demon alien race can control the shadow, and when the shadow is controlled, the shadow law is all enclosed in the shadow world, of course, it will not leave the law breath outside, and the shadow can be transformed into various shapes, which can completely achieve the effect inside the house.

But because Shadowgot came with the Twilight Elves, the city defenders didn't show any obvious hostility, but just sent two people to search the hotel's Black Silk Thick, and by the way, they found Ann Xiaoyu and Shadowgot to ask about last night's incident.

"Last night?" Yinggett was stunned for a moment, and said truthfully: "I was next door all the time last night, and it is my duty to guard the adult's side, unless there is an order from the adult, I will not leave the adult's side too far at any time, is there any problem?" ”

The two kobolds of the city defenders glanced at each other and said, "There was a tragedy in the northeast city last night, and we just routinely asked all the foreign residents, so don't be nervous. ”

said that there was no need to be nervous, but the kobold looked more nervous than anyone else, and the only one in the entire city who was most qualified to commit the crime was Yingget. Although there are many other alien races that can do that kind of case, none of them are more suitable than Shadow Getter's ability.

An Xiaoyu looked at their appearance, and knew that these kobolds were suspicious of Shadow Get, but Shadow Got was indeed next door last night, and An Xiaoyu could feel it. And the feeling of being suspicious made her very unhappy, plus An Xiaoyu felt a big cause and effect appear in the northeast city yesterday, and immediately figured out what was going on.

Reaching out and taking out the employment certificate of Gamai City, An Xiaoyu handed it to the kobold and said: "Shadowgate is the guard I hired in Gamai City, there are letters of appointment from the Aiken clan and the Council of Elders here, if you have anything to doubt, it is best to question the station of the Council of Elders first, and then both sides will investigate us together." ”

After the kobold saw the employment certificate, his face was a little embarrassed. They checked the employment certificate and found that there was really nothing wrong with it, and Shadowgot's origin was well documented, he was from the Wailing Cave, and he had never come out of the Wailing Cave before registering as a mercenary.

And An Xiaoyu's identity certificate was also done in Gamai City, the Twilight Elf, who is good at the law of life, plus for such a long time, the news that the Aiken clan has turned the castle of Gamai City into a sanctuary has spread through the caravan, in order to improve the status of the Aiken clan.

So even Huaguancheng had heard of An Xiaoyu's name, and the two kobolds glanced at each other again, and immediately said, "Of course, of course!" It's true that we're just asking routinely, and it seems that there really isn't anything wrong with the adults, but there are still some dangers in the city right now, and I hope the adults won't be disturbed. ”

"Hmm." An Xiaoyu nodded, took the employment certificate they handed back, and threw two silver coins over: "I stayed here, in fact, I just wandered outside for a long time, and I want to find a quiet place to live for a while, Huaguan City is very quiet, and the residents are very good, I don't want the quiet life to be disturbed." ”

The kobold hurriedly stuffed the silver coin into his arms and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, if there is no need, there will definitely be no one to disturb your lord!" I hope that adults can enjoy the life of Huaguancheng, and the food here is also good, so adults can try it. ”

After saying goodbye, the kobold left the hotel, and An Xiaoyu looked at the patrols coming and going on the street, her face was a little gloomy, but she didn't say anything. Shadowgot watched her like this, and immediately realized that something might not be right.

"My lord, is there anything wrong with this?" Shadowgot asked.

Yan Ya was sitting on the bed, reading a picture book of text teaching, and after hearing Yinggett's question, he couldn't help but look over here, and saw An Xiaoyu's ugly face.

An Xiaoyu sighed and said, "Actually, there was nothing to do, but the other party's methods are likely to be similar to the law of shadows, or simply the law of shadows." Otherwise, these kobolds wouldn't have asked so carefully, they even looked at our identities when they looked at the employment certificate, which is the best proof, and there are not many race classes that are good at the law of shadows. ”

Shadow Got tangled for a moment, and immediately said, "If something happens, I will never affect the adult's plan!" ”

An Xiaoyu waved his hand: "It's not very important whether the impact affects or not, you don't have to plan to give up your plan for me, I don't have to get the things in the fairy flower sea, if I can't do it, I will give up immediately, but I won't give up on you, you have been following me for a while, you should understand what I mean."

Shadow Gett nodded silently, it knew that An Xiaoyu would not give up on itself, even if it was willing to do so, An Xiaoyu would not choose like this. Yinggett was very moved by this, but he was also very helpless, in such a blood-honored society, An Xiaoyu's mentality was actually very problematic.

Seeing it like this, An Xiaoyu also stretched her expression and said, "Anyway, they have already checked, and we have also proved their identity, if they are looking for trouble again, they have to go to the Council of Elders to apply first." As long as we are okay with ourselves, they will not be able to do anything to us, no matter how suspicious they are. ”

Of course, all of this has to be built on An Xiaoyu's strength. Now almost the entire western region knows that the Twilight Elves of Gamer City are strong, and even created a sanctuary by themselves, and now Gamez City has become a holy place on the entire West Coast, who doesn't know the strength of this adult?

Under the threat of such strength, of course, no alien race would intend to be them. Since they can't do it, they can only do it according to the rules, An Xiaoyu They don't have any problems, since this matter is not done by them, then they will be afraid of a formal investigation.

"Okay, you've been showing your face less outside lately, and I'm most afraid that it's not the city defenders, but these city citizens who have begun to be afraid. You must know that fear is a very huge force, there is no impermeable wall in the world, the situation of this case will soon be known to the whole city, when you show up, it is easy to make them afraid, even if this matter is not done by you, they don't care whether it is or not, after all, public opinion does not talk about evidence. ”

Yingge nodded, and suddenly thought of the key to it: "It's just that the adult has been wronged, and there is no errand runner, do you want to hire a subordinate?" ”

An Xiaoyu smiled, reached out and touched Yanya's little head: "Isn't there still her?" ”

Yinggett was speechless, so he could only turn around and walk out of the room, and when he left, he heard An Xiaoyu teaching Yanya to read, which was like taking care of his own children.

The entire Huaguan City was already nervous, just like An Xiaoyu said, not only the city defenders, but also the residents of the entire city were shrouded in fear. Before it gets dark at night, the hustle and bustle of the whole city is gone, and only the aliens who are still preparing for the celebration are working, under the escort of the city defenders.

All occupants have their windows and doors safeguarded and sealed in a variety of ways to prevent shadows from penetrating. But everyone knows that the gap that the shadow wants to enter, unless it is a monolith, how can there be a complete way of defense?

So in such a strange atmosphere, Huaguancheng entered the night again, the sky gradually darkened, only the law lamps were left on the streets, and the city was quiet, but there was no peace in the past. An Xiaoyu looked at the sky, and she could see the oppressive atmosphere that hung over the sky of the entire Huaguan City, like a large low cloud.

The number of patrols increased, and it didn't take long for An Xiaoyu to be able to see kobolds passing by under the window. She didn't really care, she didn't come here to be canonized, not to celebrate, not to be slaughtered.

She just wanted to find an opportunity to enter the fairy flower sea, and if she didn't have the opportunity, she would decisively choose to leave. As for other things, no matter how many killings these things have caused in Huaguancheng, they have nothing to do with An Xiaoyu, just Huaguancheng's affairs.

Of course, the premise is that no one takes the initiative to find An Xiaoyu.
