Chapter 57: The Shadow's Apologia

Under the bronze statue on horseback, squatted a burly man.

Passers-by glanced at him a little strangely, then stopped paying attention and passed by him.

They all have their own things to do, and they can no longer focus on the joys and sorrows of others.

A dim, scarlet light reflected on the bronze statue, and the armor was mottled with rust.

Like a valiant knight, covered in blood and scarred.

The whole statue seemed to come to life, its heart was full of anger, and the sharp edge of the blade pointed straight to the sky, and it was about to rush into the enemy group alone.

This monument commemorates the soldiers who died in the Great Patriotic War.

The glow of the remnant sun stretched its shadow for a long time, and Theo was in the shadow, and there was not a trace of light on his body.

His eyes were a little stunned, staring at the bustling crowd in front of him in a daze.

Theo didn't know the question asked by Ji Yan, and he wasn't really stupid, but this could make others trust him more, or be more at ease.

To be promoted to team leader in the factory, it is not enough to have a lot of strength.

What the big boss said today, he didn't have any doubts.

There is no portrait of the person he is looking for, no features, no tall, short, fat and thin, no age, and he doesn't even know whether he is a man or a woman, so how do he find people.

It was not without skepticism in the factory that the big boss was entertaining them at one time.

Seeing this, Theo could only wish them good luck.

After living in the imperial capital for many years, he has fully understood that all these big bosses care about is money and power.

Money is a necessity to ensure the quality of life.

Right is to make others respect themselves on the surface and get a sense of spiritual satisfaction.

The big boss is crazy to stop the operation of the factory, just to find someone.

Isn't there a more professional private detective to find someone, so why bother with these coolies, so there must be other deep meanings in it.

These people who dare to ask questions directly to the big boss are estimated to be cleared out for various reasons in the end.

The thought of returning to the possibility of missing many familiar faces, Theo's eyes were a little misty.

The big boss is a coward who needs to work for him, not a brave man who opposes him.

So what if you know that the things he tells him are unreasonable?

If you don't want to lose your job, don't want your family to live on the streets with you, don't want to be hungry and unclothed, you can only swallow your questions silently.

After all, the last thing that slums lack is people.

Theo's misty eyes instantly cleared, and the sky was completely dark, he shook off the dead leaves that had fallen on his shoulders at some point, got up and walked out into the street.

There were many fewer people on the streets, and there were no street lights on the streets, so it was pitch black, and the only way to see was by moonlight.

Street lamps are such things as only the aristocracy and the wealthy.

The shadows overlap each other, giving people a feeling of great depression in their hearts, as if they are surrounded here and can't break free.

Feeling the hard thing in his arms, it was the big boss who asked everyone to take it with him.

Thinking back to the strange remarks of the big boss and the mystery in the rumors, he seemed to have a hint of enlightenment.

Now the crowds are much less, but he can't go home until the normal end of the day.

……

Ji Yan walked slowly on the street, moving in the direction of his home.

Along the way, you can see some houses on this street with signs for rent hanging outside, and there seem to be many fewer people.

Walking to the door of the house, Ji Yan was about to take out the key, but saw a crack in the door.

He was instantly alerted, wondering if the house was a thief.

can think of the strange mysterious items in the house, although the fight is not very good, and the strength is low.

But that's also for warlocks, and in the face of ordinary people, these can be treated as demons.

After all, chairs with tentacles are hard to find.

Ji Yan used the spell he had learned in class today to condense the mysterious factor in his hands, and a trace of flame quietly lit up.

It looks like a normal flame, but it's just a trick to hide what really is in it—

Twilight Fire.

This is to prevent someone from being able to recognize it, otherwise it will be a hassle.

There's nothing more troublesome than getting contaminated with a cult.

In the flickering flames, a flame of orange-yellow was faintly visible.

Although it is only a flame, its lethality cannot be underestimated.

As for Ji Yan's protection, with the heart of the ocean, he simply wasted less mystery factors on protection spells.

Just as he was about to push the door in.

The door opened on its own.

Then Ji Yan met his gaze with a blurry and hazy shadow.

Shadow: (°ー°〃)

In the silence of Gu Gu and speechless, Ji Yan quietly dispersed the light in his palm, and then his face turned straight, showing his majesty as the head of the family.

The dark shadow opened the door, and after Ji Yan entered, he quietly closed it.

The warm yellow light continued to illuminate the room steadily, and Ji Yan walked into the room and raised his eyes to see a table of good dishes.

It has all the color and flavor, as if it can hook out the gluttonous worms in the stomach.

After closing the door, the shadow turned into a flowing black shadow and entered the kitchen, and then brought out plates of fragrant dishes.

Ji Yan looked at the shadow's movements and was a little curious for a while, but he didn't stop it, but watched from the side.

Finally, the dishes on the table could no longer be piled up, and the shadow stopped moving.

Then came behind Ji Yan, like a hard-working housekeeper, ready to serve Ji Yan for dinner.

Ji Yan sat on the seat pulled by the shadow, and then was slowly pushed forward by it.

In this process, Ji Yan felt that there was no trace of shaking, which showed that the shadow's control of strength and proportion had reached the point of being superb.

So why does it have a soft spot for being a chef? This is still a question that Ji Yan is more confused about.

He turned his head to look at the shadow, only to find that it seemed to have a hint of uneasiness.

Shadow:•_•

Although the overall shadow is so dark that it can melt into the night, and it is hazy and vague, it does not affect Ji Yan's ability to perceive its emotions.

He glanced at the uneaten meal again, and then asked directly at Shadow.

"Do you have something you want me to help with?"

The shadow quickly shook her head, and gave her a pitiful look, which seemed to contain apologies.

Ji Yan sensed this emotion and was a little confused for a while, so where did it provoke me?

But soon, he knew the answer.

Looking at the crystal with a trace of crack in front of him, Ji Yan couldn't help but hold his forehead.

Then his gaze turned to the other side, with his head bowed, looking a little pitiful.

"So you broke it?"

To be honest, Ji Yan didn't care too much about the quality of this crystal, what he really cared about was the flame inside.

Thinking of the introduction of the system, he had a slight headache.

This is something that has the potential to destroy the world, so something is wrong.

"Ding-dong-"

"Someone initiated a video chat with you."

"Answer or not."
