Chapter 31: Two and a Half Years of Practice
After thinking for a while, Zheng Fan made a bold speculation: "Maybe what is sucked into the black space is not a shadow, but an entity of people or things." 'People or things' that stay in the real world and are in a state of no shadow are the real shadows! ”
"When objects are crushed in black space, because the speed of time inside and outside is different, their images will stay in the real world for a while, but if the object is taken out of the space, the 'shadow' of the real world will disappear."
Zheng Fan clapped his hands and laughed: "It's terrible, it's terrible, this is equivalent to having a portable warehouse, and then try to absorb living creatures..."
"Wang, Wang!"
I really wanted to come whatever I wanted, and I was about to find a living creature to test my ability, when a small black earth dog ran into the alley and yelled at Zheng Fan.
"Yo, seeing that you are so fierce, you must have bitten people a lot, and today I will destroy you on behalf of justice!"
A strange black shadow stretched out from behind Zheng Fan and instantly stuck to the puppy's shadow, and the puppy was immediately frozen and motionless.
Zheng Fan silently counted the time while thinking: "The puppy is five meters away from me, but the black shadow is pasted in an instant, obviously within my attack range." ”
"At the beginning, the black shadow in Wangjia Village was thousands of meters long, I don't know if this shadow can still have that kind of attack range after it reaches my hand..."
Ten seconds passed, but the puppy's shadow did not disappear.
"Wang!"
The puppy seemed to be frightened, barked, and hurriedly ran out of the alley.
"It seems that the shadow of a living creature cannot be devoured yet."
Zheng Fan was slightly disappointed, he couldn't devour living things, and the power of this shadow dropped by at least half.
"But being able to immobilize a living creature for ten seconds is also considered a very strong ability, ten seconds is enough for me to kill an enemy, or escape."
After thinking about it, Zheng Fan consciously extended the shadow as much as possible, and when it stretched out about ten meters, it reached the limit.
"The current attack range is ten meters, and my shadow can teleport within ten meters."
"The material needed for the shadow fragment is shadow, as long as I devour a batch of enough 'dead things' first, I believe that I can also have the ability to devour living things in the future."
After testing the attack range, Zheng Fan began to think about the problem of the 'little boy', when he was in Wangjia Village, Jiang Ru sealed him and the 'child' with spherical grass, why couldn't he touch the child inside?
Now that he has mastered the ability of the shadow fragment, Zheng Fan faintly has some conjectures: "In an environment without shadows, it is normal that the fragment ability cannot be exerted. ”
"I didn't touch the child, which means that he was in a 'transparent form' at the time, just like the villagers who had lost their shadows."
"Inside the fragment is a huge black space, the fragment can absorb all the objects with shadows, but the fragment needs a place to 'stay' after all, and it can't take itself into the space, just like a person's strength, he can't lift himself."
Zheng Fan muttered to himself, "So it must be hiding in a corner of that child's body..."
Thinking of this, Zheng Fan came to a small stone again and used the devouring ability of the shadow.
"Seven, six, five..."
The shadow of the small stone, with the passage of time, was shrinking little by little, and when he was counting, Zheng Fan suddenly put away his ability, and his own shadow was separated from the shadow of the stone.
Squatted down and touched the stone with his hand.
"That's right, that's it, at this moment, half of the stone is solid, and the other half has become transparent, and the hand can directly penetrate it."
The thought came to the black space again, and only 'half' of the volume of the stone appeared in front of his eyes.
"I see, the shadow fragment has collected most of the flesh of its host, the little boy, into the black space, leaving only a small piece of flesh in the outside world to store the fragment.
The size of the fragment is very small, only the size of half a small fingernail, and only a small piece of flesh is needed to store the fragment, so that in the real world, its host has become a transparent person, and can basically ignore any attack! That's why I couldn't touch him in the first place. ”
"Only in this way can we explain why there is no object in the black space, only this little boy, because under the control of the fragment, the little boy's body is not crushed, and the fragment should be able to provide a certain amount of energy to give back to the host, so that it will not die."
"And after I received the fragments, the fragments had no choice, and there was no need to provide energy to the little boy, there was no oxygen in the black space, so after a long time, the little boy died..."
Gasping for air, Zheng Fan felt a little incredible: "Could this fragment already have a sanity?" ”
Hooligans are not scary, they are afraid that hooligans are educated.
The fragments are already terrifying, and if there is consciousness again, then the world will really be completely chaotic.
As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Fan suddenly remembered how he obtained this fragment: "I have never been able to figure out how this fragment was received in the body in the first place. ”
"At the time..."
Zheng Fan recalled the previous scene: "It was the metallic fragment in his left hand that sucked in the entire black space, that is, the fragment, could it be that my metallic fragment has the ability to absorb other fragments?" ”
"At that time, the flesh and blood collapsed, the fragments were exposed, and then the oppression of the body disappeared, could it be that it was because the level of the metal fragment was higher than that of the shadow fragment, and it could suppress it?"
For a long time, Zheng Fan didn't figure it out, and he couldn't figure it out.
The only thing to be thankful for is that when the shadow fragments can devour living things in the future, he can follow the example of the 'little boy' and put his body into the black space, leaving only a flesh the size of a fingernail in the outside world, so that he can also be in a state of ignoring all attacks.
Ignore any attacks, and can also use the ability of the shadow to kill enemies from a distance, which is a pleasure to think about.
looked up at the sky: "I don't know if Jiang Ru is awake, let's go back to the hotel first." ”
He turned around and walked out of the alley, and after a few more circles, he walked to the hotel where he lived.
"Huh?"
Zheng Fan suddenly stopped, his whole body stiffened, and the feeling of being fixed appeared again.
The shadow under his feet crawled strangely in the direction of his left hand, and now he had crawled to his thigh.
"Why, are you going to attack your master so soon?"
Zheng Fan was shocked in his heart, and the shadow fragment suddenly became uncontrollable for some reason, trembling slightly in the palm of his left hand.
He wasn't sure if his metal shards would save him a second time, and he didn't want to try again with the sharp pain of shattering bones all over his body.
At this moment, he still maintained his stride movement, and some pedestrians passed by one after another, pointing at Zheng Fan.
A beautiful boy exclaimed: "This is street performance art, the left foot stays in the air, but the body does not move, the whole person seems to be still, without two and a half years of practice, it is difficult to reach this level!" ”
