Chapter 543: Strange Creature
In fact, before Takashi Inoue and Kameiichiro returned, strange things had already begun to happen.
When Takashi Inuchi and Kameiichiro left the room, Kameiichiro opened the window to let in the air, and the natural curtains were also opened, and the sunlight shone brightly in the room.
There was more than one camera in that room, so we could see almost every corner of the room.
Twenty minutes before Takashi Inoshita and Kameiichiro returned to the room, I, Jinyuan, Pranger, and the security manager all clearly saw a black shadow creeping in from the edge of the open window.
It really looks like a shadow, but it's obviously not an ordinary shadow.
Because an ordinary shadow must be projected from a high place or from a distance, it will move with the movement of the subject, but it will never crawl in little by little along the window.
But this shadow crept in little by little from the window.
Of course, it climbed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was about 1.7 meters a whole, and it climbed up the wall down the window and then along the wall to the ground.
It's a strange situation, and even though I've been through a lot of incredible things, I still feel like I'm blown up.
Because it was obviously a shadow, and all the objects under this shadow did not appear even the slightest blur because of this shadow.
And it is always moving against the wall and the ground, even if there is a small bump or dent on the wall or the ground, it will follow the bump and dent.
If there's one thing that makes it different from normal shadows, it's that it's a little darker.
But it's just "as if".
We were unable to find the subject of this shadow on the surveillance video.
Suppose there is a very distant object that happens to cast a shadow through the window, but everyone knows that in the process of image projection, there will be a trajectory of alternating light and dark in the air.
But we haven't been able to find any of them, not at all.
So I can say with certainty that this is not a real shadow, it's just an unknown species that exists on its own, but is very similar to a shadow.
Or maybe it's not a species at all, but some kind of sorcery.
But what kind of magic can manipulate a shadow to crawl on walls and the ground at will, and kill people?
At least I can't imagine it.
We watched the shadow glide around the room along the ground, and even squeezed into the bathroom along the crack in the door.
It's a pity that Li Hanxiang hasn't been perverted enough to let people install cameras in the bathroom, so what is the situation of the black shadow in the bathroom, the surveillance video can't show it.
But soon, the black shadow squeezed out of the crack in the door againβ
Maybe the word "squeeze" should not be used, because it looks like a shadow, and it has no volume in itself, and naturally no matter how small the gap, it can be penetrated by it.
Just watching it glide on the wall and on the ground, I naturally thought of the word "squeeze".
After the shadow "squeezed" through the crack in the bathroom door, it slid around the room, even climbed along the wall to the head of the bed, "patrolled" on the uneven bedding pillows, and then slid down the wall to the ground, hiding under the bed.
That makes me more inclined to think that this is an unknown strange species, rather than some kind of sorcery.
Because it is obvious that this shadow has not been able to find the person or thing it is looking for in the house, and if it is an evil spell or something, the evil spell caster can completely put away the evil magic for a while, and wait until the person or thing he is looking for appears before casting it again, there is no need to waste energy to hide this shadow.
And not long after the shadow hid under the bed, Takashi Inizita and Kameiichiro opened the door and walked in, Kameichiro seemed to be in a hurry, and went directly into the bathroom.
Takashi Inoshita sat on the edge of the bed to rest, and suddenly the black shadow came out from the bottom of the bed, Takashi Inoshita didn't realize that something was wrong, the black shadow had quickly climbed along his body, covering Takashi Inoshita's body.
In fact, the black shadow was originally transparent, so in the process of climbing up to Takashi Inoshita's body, we could faintly see this shadow by the difference between light and dark light.
But once this shadow enveloped Takashi Inoshita's entire body, he couldn't see the existence of the shadow.
The black shadow was similar to a human figure, and at the front of it, there was also a round part that looked like a human brain.
Just after its round part covered Takashi Inoshita's face, Takashi Inoue suddenly jumped to his feet, his mouth wide open, and his nose shaking, as if he wanted to scream and breathe.
But he couldn't scream, he couldn't breathe.
He began to tug at his cheek with his hands, as if trying to rip something off his face.
But the shadow was not a thing at all, and what was being pulled by the well was only his own flesh and skin.
Soon, Takashi Inoshita's face began to turn purple, apparently holding his breath to the extreme, and he began to scratch his face desperately with his hands, only to scratch the bloody skin and flesh. But looking at his appearance, he was completely unaware of the pain.
The four of us were furious in that process, and it was clear that there was nothing on Takashi Inoshita's face, but he opened his eyes and held his breath, scratching his face with all his might.
And his eyes are gradually bulging, obviously reaching the limit of support.
Finally, he fell to the ground with a thud, but he was still struggling and twisting on the ground.
But it was only for a moment, and his body stiffened and he no longer moved.
At this moment, Kameiichiro opened the door of the bathroom with a happy expression and walked out, and at a glance he saw Takashi Inoshita on the ground, and Kameiichiro was so frightened that he opened his mouth and screamed.
The room is equipped with not only surveillance cameras, but also a synchronous eavesdropping system, so we can hear Takashi Inoshita's struggle, and we can hear Kameiichiro's screams.
He screamed as he crouched down, as if to reach out to see what was going on.
However, as soon as his fingers touched Takashi Inoshita's body, the black shadow that had been shrouding Takashi Inoshita suddenly quickly shifted along his arm towards him.
Kameiichiro noticed it and jumped to his feet suddenly, and his screams turned into screams of fear.
But after only two or three shouts, the black shadow had already enveloped his entire body.
So Kameiichiro also began to repeat everything Takashi Inoshita had just experienced, first tugging at his cheeks, and soon the tugging turned into scratching, and the harder he scratched, the harder he scratched, the harder he scratched, until the skin and flesh were covered with blood.
When Kameiichiro also fell to the ground and stopped moving, the black shadow left Kameiichiro's body and climbed up the wall along the ground, and then up the window edge along the wall.
And the moment it finally disappeared, it was as if a black veil had been ripped out of the window edge.
After watching the video, everyone, including me, was speechless in shock by the tragic deaths of Takashi Inosita and Kameiichiro.
I don't know what the other three think, but I was thinking, if this shadow was hidden under my bed, and when I was completely relaxed, it suddenly appeared and attacked me, would I be able to resist it?
The answer is no, and I can't resist it.
Fortunately, the Genting Daoist had already calculated that I had such a catastrophe-
I always feel that the Genting Daoist is probably not a calculation, because estimation is a very special, almost mythical ability, and even the Genting Daoist may not be able to master this ability.
Therefore, I think that Genting Daoist has probably known that there is a strange thing like this dark shadow in this world, and I, as a "supernatural" case investigator, will come into contact with this thing sooner or later.
That's why Genting Daoist will let Zilin pass me on my breath-holding kung fu in advance, so that when I encounter this extremely strange shadow, at least I won't suffocate to death soon.
But even if I practice the Breath-Holding Kung Fu now, I can still live without breathing for more than forty minutes, and once I encounter this black shadow and be enveloped by it, I am still not sure whether I will be able to get rid of its entanglement within forty minutes.
After all, I don't know what that shadow is. I don't know if it has a component or a volume.
And seeing Takashi Inoue and Kameiichiro scratching their faces to the point that the flesh and blood were blurred, the black shadow should be illusory and completely volumeless.
But if it is completely illusory and has no volume, why did it seal the victim's mouth and nostrils, making it impossible for people to breathe or even scream?
I couldn't help but look at Plangue next to me, and I saw him pale and trembling again.
In fact, the faces of the four people present were not good-looking, including me.
But I just had a gut feeling that Plang knew more or less what this shadow was.
So after exiting from the security room, while Jin Yuan seemed to be unable to bear to find the bathroom to vomit, I followed Plang and said, "Brother Planger, I think it's time for us to have a good talk!" β
"Talk? What to talk about? Planger shuddered and asked almost nervously.
"What are you talking about, Brother Planger should know, right?" I said, simply opening the window and speaking, "It's that dark shadow, Brother Plang should know what it is, right?" I remember before, you mentioned that there is a temple in the southern forests of your country, but unfortunately you didn't finish your words that day, can you finish them today? β
Plangue didn't say a word, just took a few steps forward with my head down, and I followed him closely.
Planger suddenly stopped and turned to look at me, and said, "You told me to be quiet, I really want to talk, wait until I get up from sleep, and talk again in the afternoon!" β
"It's already noon, so we have to eat, right?" I say.
"I'm not going to eat it, so please poop!" Planger said, as if afraid that I would continue to ask, hurried to the elevator and pressed the upstairs button.
