Chapter 57: Darkness and Shadow
Alain Bu couldn't imagine, and didn't know how to contact them, at least, knowing that they were safe now.
Bell ...... At this time, his hand suddenly rang, and when he took it out, he saw that the other party happened to be one of the two children.
"Hello? Are you home? ”
"Yes, we are near Beiheng Road, but we don't know this place." Linto's voice trembled, indicating that he was afraid.
"Can you make that clear?"
"Well, it's like, as we walked, it slowly became darker, the street lights didn't turn on, and the pedestrians disappeared."
"It's terrible, it's terrible! It's like somewhere else, we can't get out. Xiziya came up, with tears in his words, "We can only call you, you must come to rescue us." ”
"Okay, you guys calm down first, I'll go over right now."
"Please, please don't hang up."
"Okay, let me know as soon as you notice anything unusual." Alain Bu immediately ran, Beiheng Road is on the north side, not far from here.
He silently quickened his pace, bypassed the car, crossed the railing, avoided passers-by, and the operation was like flowing water, and the other passers-by were all stunned.
"Which one didn't bumper into me? Depend on! One of the girls said angrily.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Alain Bu apologized and slowed down, getting closer and closer to Beiheng Road, his heart suddenly beating so fast.
"Hello? Are you still there? ”
"There's a monster wandering outside, it's terrifying."
"Tell me where you are, I'm almost there."
It is said that it is a few meters in front of the corner bakery, but when Alan Bu arrived, he didn't see anyone, he somewhat understood, it might be a different space created by the demons, so he couldn't see it.
"Ahem, ahem, I'm here, but I can't get into your place......" There was no response, the world over there was surprisingly quiet, and Alain Bu shouted into the phone, "Hey? Feed! ”
Just as he put down his phone, the light above his head flickered. He looked up at the lamp and slowly moved away.
Unexpectedly, at this time, his shadow made a 180-degree turn and moved behind him. Alain Bu looked down, good fellow, the shadow demon who had followed him earlier had finally revealed his true colors.
The other party lodges in his shadow, except for the eyes and mouth are white, the rest of the parts are gray-black, so when the eyes and mouth become meniscus-shaped, it is actually a little cute.
Arambu had his back to the light, and the Shadow Fiend was facing him, and it was clear that it wasn't the one staring at him at KFC. This time it was so bold to appear in front of my eyes? What exactly do you want?
Shadow Demons are considered the lowest of the demon race, they can't speak by nature, and they also have communication barriers with other clans, they rely on their hidden advantages and numbers to survive, and they are not strong enough to say that they are strong, at least they will not be completely eliminated.
However, the shadow demon he faced seemed to have been "premeditated", and it seemed to be expressing its meaning with its actions.
I saw that its body turned into the word "mouth", and one hand circled into a circle, and the circle slowly merged into the square.
It is a very simple graphic expression, which Alain Bu probably understands, that is, the word represents the different space, and the circle represents itself, and it can enter that different space. Although he didn't know if he understood him, Arambu asked, "Can you help me?" ”
Its silhouette nodded.
"So what am I going to do?"
The Shadow Demon turned into an arrow pointing to the sidewalk under the tree, where it was only dark. It didn't seem to have any malicious intent, and the other end of the phone was already unreachable, so Alain Bu thought that this was the only way to try.
He first came to the bottom of the tree, took a deep breath, and slowly appeared in front of him a standing dark black oval, the filling floating inward like cotton wool.
The entrance to this alternate space was a man tall, and Alain Bu lowered his head slightly and entered.
The scene inside was within his expectations, and it looked no different from reality, but the main color was only black and gray. There were no living creatures, no voices, but he could speak, and the self in his eyes had lost its original color.
There is no shadow under his feet, because there is no light, is the shadow demon still there? That's right, it's still there, but it's in a three-dimensional shape, and it's so scared that it's hiding behind a tree.
Shadow Fiend is forbidden to enter other people's shadow space without permission, but of course it's okay if it's not discovered by the same kind. This shadow demon must have relied on it to bring himself in so casually.
Alain Bu gave up thinking as he looked at his surroundings and slowly moved towards the building. He was convinced that they must be hiding there.
Something seemed to be approaching him, a three-meter-tall lizard-like creature covered in dark black scales and its eyes more viscous than blood.
Alain Bu had seen a movie called Godzilla, and to be honest, this creature resembled it, but I didn't know if it would breathe fire.
Higher-level Shadow Demons can create shadow spaces, and they generally do not solve their targets in reality, but instead introduce them into their own territory and slowly torture them to death. It's cruel or despicable, but it's just good at using its abilities.
I saw that the lizard demon tilted his head to look at him, and the red tongue thrown out made people goosebumps all over his body.
As the saying goes, eight out of ten shadow demons are blind, and the remaining two are short-sighted. So the lizard demon was observing him from a short distance, figuring out who the other party was and why he was able to enter his own territory casually.
What kind of strange ghost, it turned out to be a Hanhan? Ignoring it, Aramb turned his head and walked towards his target.
When the lizard demon saw that the other party actually thought that he was air, he immediately became angry, opened his mouth of blood, and stepped forward with two fat legs.
Oh huh? This guy wants to eat meat?
Alan Bu was shocked, took out the secret magic weapon in his pocket, and looked at the lizard demon, which immediately showed its original form. Because the lights were so dazzling, its eyes were about to be blinded.
The light of the mobile phone can still come out, which means that although all colors are hidden in this shadow space, the two colors of all black and all white are still within the allowable range.
At that time, the lizard demon's eyes could not be opened, and Alain Bu immediately took advantage of it to go around and ran up to its back.
Although the lizarddemon's chest and back are covered with thick scales, the side parts of the body are still very weak, especially the armpits. As soon as you touch it, there is a soft and silky wonderful feel, which is simply unstoppable.
The lizard demon couldn't help but roll on the ground, its body gradually softening, and there was a gasp in its mouth.
"Hahaha......"
Does this sound mean that it is comfortable now? Alain Bu couldn't believe that he was petting a large lizard he didn't know, and that the big lizard didn't have the slightest defense against him.
Hell, if this matter is exposed, will he be discredited in the Demon Hunting Society? Oh, well, I don't have any reputation to speak of, and this is also a way to kill the demons, called taming.
To be honest, the lizard demon finally looked at him differently, and it probably thought: So you are this kind of person!
Suddenly, the lizard demon kicked its feet and stood up, opening its mouth and shouting at the sky, and then its rigid body gradually melted into a puddle of black water.
Alain Bu fell from it, his eyes staring at the puddle of unknown liquid, could it be that he couldn't bear the humiliation and killed himself?
At the same time, the shadow space it created began to crumble, and the real world was separated from it by a thin veil.
A black shadow quickly sprang out from somewhere, melting into this pool of black water, new blood was being injected, and its appearance was slowly changing.
The Shadow Fiend is imitating himself, the details around him becoming more and more obvious, and his eyes and mouth are no longer blank.
Alain Bu looked at the new humanoid and was speechless.
When the real world was fully revealed, the shadow demon fell into his shadow and disappeared.
After being stunned for a second, he finally realized that the Shadow Demon had the ability to devour other members of the same kind, and he could quickly become stronger in this way. The one I met was very scheming, and it learned to use humans for its own ends.
Shadow Fiends in general have evolved into objects that they are good at imitating, and as long as there are shadows, they can imitate. They don't have much ill will towards humans, but they just trap humans in shadow space by accident or other reasons, creating the illusion of disappearance.
Alain Bu looked at the infinitely deep dark night sky, and at this moment, the giant curtain of silver stars was more inviting than usual.
"Brother Arambu!" He heard someone calling for him, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Linto and Xiziya, two little guys, who had escaped from the shadows of the bakery.
He raised his hand and beckoned, "Hey, it's you." ”
"I was really worried that you would fight, but I didn't expect you to take it so quickly."
"I didn't expect it to be so afraid of light."
Xiziya raised his eyes and said, "If it weren't for the fact that our phones were out of battery, we would definitely shine it out." ”
"Hahaha...... It's up to you? You almost peed in your pants right now. ”
"It's all your stupid bad idea, who can go further with their eyes closed and won't be trapped here."
Linto smiled dryly: "I'm just thinking about whether I'll run into ghosts." ”
I see! Alain Bu was taken aback. He told them, "You can't do that next time, or even the Bodhisattva won't be able to save you." ”
"Next time, be brave enough to shoot its eyes with the light of righteousness." Linto joked.
"Yo, you can do that, but don't pull me."
Alain Bu nudged the two of them and urged, "Let's go, don't cause trouble." ”
"Okay, brother, we're going home, goodbye."
They laughed and walked towards the streetlight, their translucent shadows leaning diagonally against the side of the road.
Well, it's time for me to go.
