Chapter 356: Louise's Diary

[The appearance of the alchemy remains makes you realize that this paper mill relies on robots to operate, which gives you the possibility to use the TK2300 skin to sneak in. 】

[You are about to make a move when you suddenly notice an unidentified flying object approaching in the sky.] Select ......】

"UFOs?"

Mu You was already ready to do it, but he didn't expect a new text to pop up, so he had to wait first.

[You chose to wait and see. 】

[When the flying object approaches, you can see that this is a dilapidated airship, shaped like an airship covered in metal, and the chimneys around it are spitting smoke rings, swaying from the sky. 】

[Moments later, the airship lands in the open space in front of the Luke family's compound. 】

[A delivery man walks out of the driver's seat and opens the hatch, removing all the goods from the storage box.] 】

[Brand new cleaning robots are stacked on the ground.] 】

When Mu You saw the airship, he thought it was another goblin, but he didn't think it was just a human delivering goods, it seemed that this person should be the supplier of the robot in Luke's house, and he was just in time for a cargo handover.

That's a lot easier!

[While the two sides were talking, you switched to the TK2300 skin, disguised as a cleaning robot, and slowly approached the cargo pile. 】

[You come to the front of the cargo, squeeze into a bunch of unactivated sweeping robots, and blend in perfectly.] 】

[You hear a conversation between the two of you coming from ahead.] 】

【“…… Recently, the quality of this robot is very poor, the last batch of five were scrapped after only half a month, you honestly, is it a defective product sold to me? ”】

["Nonsense, where do you think robots are still produced now? I've sent them straight from Clockwork City! ”】

["You don't want to buy it, to tell you the truth, there seems to be an accident in Clockwork City, the goblins all disappeared overnight, the supply has been cut off, and there will be no more robot goods in the future, this batch in my hand is the last batch of goods, you don't buy it, some people buy ......it"]

……

Mu You saw that the two people in the text were arguing and shouting, one wanted to lower the price, the other wanted to raise the price, and it took half an hour to finally reach an agreement: to purchase all the cleaning robots at the price of each unit with a 10-year lifespan.

[You see that the two sides make a deal, and the delivery man boards the airship and leaves.] 】

[Luke walked out of the courtyard with a cart and loaded the robots on the ground one by one. 】

[Luke counted it, and a snicker's joy appeared on his face: "This delivery person is illiterate, he paid for fifteen units, but he gave sixteen units, and he deserves to lose money......]

You are transported by cart along with the other robots to the inside of the paper mill and stop in front of the third row of paper cabinets against the wall on the north side. 】

[Luke walks over to the container and knocks three times on the wooden cabinet.] 】

[After a few seconds, the container automatically moves away, and a tunnel opening emerges from the exposed open space.] 】

[A two-meter-tall man with a body as thin as a hemp pole walked out of the tunnel. 】

["My lord, this is a new batch of goods, please take a look. Luke's voice. 】

[Hearing this, the hemp pole man walked to the cart, used the levitation charm to remove the robots one by one, and checked them in turn. 】

[Your disguise is quite perfect, and he doesn't see anything abnormal. 】

[You notice that there is a shadow at the man's feet, but it also does not match his shape: it is the shadow of a small boy of low stature.] 】

[After the inspection of the hemp pole man, he is ready to return to the tunnel with the robot.] 】

[Seeing that the man was leaving, Luke hurriedly stepped forward to stop the other party and asked flatteringly: "My lord, my shadow, when do you see ......"]

["What's the hurry? The hemp pole man glared at Luke in displeasure: "There are still a bunch of people queuing up now, and your contribution value is not enough, work hard, and when your contribution reaches the standard, you will naturally be assigned a shadow." ”】

["Understood, understood! Luke nodded hurriedly, not daring to ask any more. 】

"Shadows? Finger Ghost? ”

Mu You frowned, what does this mean, the undead will distribute the shadow ghosts as rewards to the people below?

If the people of the Undead Society have mastered the technique of controlling shadow ghosts, and they can graft shadow ghosts into other people's shadows at will, it means that there may already be many shadow ghosts in the Ghost Society, which can be used as actual combat power......

[You are manipulated by the flotation technique, and follow the pok man into the deep tunnel. 】

After a long period of transfer, you come to an empty underground factory, surrounded by well-layered roads that lead in all directions, with lights on both sides of the road and a large number of rooms built along the sides of the passage. 】

[The Mapole Man gave an order to all the cleaning robots around him to start working: "Your job is to clean up the rotting grass that constantly grows on the walls of the buildings in the underground palace, as well as transport the insect corpses scattered everywhere, household garbage, etc....... The entire dungeon is divided into five areas, east, west, north, south, and middle, replenish energy and go to the energy room in the central area, you don't have a fixed work area, all the buildings within sight are your cleaning range, but remember, the delineated area in the west, don't step into it without an order! ”】

As soon as the pockbrush man came, he assigned a bunch of tasks to the robot, and it was obvious that this underground factory produced a lot of garbage every day, and it required so many cleaning robots to work non-stop.

However, the other party finally specifically mentioned that it is not allowed to go to the demarcated area of the West District, that is to say, there are most important things in the West!

[The cleaning robots broadcast the mechanical sound of 'Received the order, start working', and the tracks rolled, scattering to the surrounding passages.] 】

[You are also mixed in with the robots, driving to one of the passages......]

Mu You didn't rush to the West District, the defense of that place may be very strict, he just arrived, first explore the surroundings and find out the situation.

[You follow the passage to clear the debris on the ground as you explore. You find a lot of insect shells and corpses scattered along the roadside, and the stone walls on both sides are covered with a moss-like plant. 】

[This is a unique 'rotten weed' in the humid underground environment, which can provide food for various insects, and the corpses of insects can in turn provide fertilizer for rotten grass, and if they are not cleaned up regularly, the insects in the dungeon will breed in large numbers......]

This kind of rotten grass is obviously the main content of the cleaning robots' work, and of course Mu You doesn't have the time to act as a cleaner for them, but he still has to do what he should do.

In the form of a robot, there is no scruple of mobility, and then Mu You pretends to be 'clean' all the way, and by the way, he rampages in the 'North District' and explores everywhere.

After a little turn, he found that the northern area was like a self-sufficient village, with a large area, a confinement area, a living area, a dormitory area, and an amusement park, but it seemed that the whole area had been abandoned, and only uninhabited houses remained.

Mu You explored all the way, and all the houses were empty, and he didn't meet a single living person.

After searching for a whole afternoon, almost exploring the area, Mu You finally found a place that interested him.

[You find an abandoned storage room ahead.] 】

[You walk to the door and look through the crack in the rotten wooden door, and you find that there is a mountain of garbage in it, and it looks like a child's toy. All items are covered in dust, indicating that the site has been abandoned for at least a year. 】

Mu You's heart moved when he looked at the latest text, all the toys stored in it were children's toys, so maybe you could find Louise's things in it!

[You search around and make sure no one is approaching, then switch back to the Vampire skin.] 】

[You used a lockpicking spell on an old wooden door, and the lock opened.] 】

[You enter the storage room, look at the garbage all over the floor, wave your wand, and cast a search spell to search for the content: Corday Louise.] 】

[Golden runes poured out from the tip of your wand, enveloping all the objects in the room, and all kinds of information swirled in front of you like a kaleidoscope......]

[Search successful: You have found an item related to Corday Louise.] 】

[You follow the guide and look for it, rummaging through the garbage all over the floor, and finally find an old rag doll in a rotten box at the bottom.] 】

[This is just a very ordinary cloth sewing doll, but you notice that the doll's belly is a little angular to the touch.] You tear open the belly of the rag doll, and sure enough, you find a folded piece of paper in the cotton wool, which is full of crooked words. 】

[The paper is yellowed and tattered by the moisture, but you can still make out the contents of it.] 】

[Louise's diary fragments: Corday Louise has always been in the habit of keeping a diary, she recorded her encounters here, and when she sensed danger, she hid several of these fragments of important information throughout the dungeon. Find these fragments, and you may be able to reconstruct her original experience. 】

【…… Recently, some voices of resistance have begun to circulate in the hospital, and I know that I am not the only one who can't stand it...... More than a dozen of us secretly conspired and decided to join forces to resist and escape from this ghost place before the next treatment began...... I also invited Mianmian to act with us, but Mianmian refused me, and persuaded us to give up, not to do stupid things, they could not let us escape, and the result of pursuing hope would only bring greater despair, which was their real purpose...... I understood what she meant, maybe she was right, but I can't take it anymore, I'm going to go crazy if I continue, even if there's only a glimmer of hope, I want to try, so tonight, it's either freedom or death......

——4/8】

4-8, that is, there are eight pages in total, and this is the fourth of them.

The diary contains very little content, and it seems that a group of children are ready to resist, and finally it comes to an abrupt end, and the outcome is unknown, but I also know that most of them failed.

And the first thing that caught Mu You's attention was that the person 'Mianmian' was mentioned in this diary.

Mianmian is exactly the name Ye Rumeng said when she introduced her sister.

Mu You immediately opened the entrance of the space backpack and came to the little girl's room, ready to ask her about her sister.

But there was no one in the room.

He went to the zoo backpack to look for it again, but he didn't find Ye Rumeng's shadow.

Mu You didn't care, it was estimated that she automatically entered the dream space on the other side after falling asleep again, the little girl was often haunted, and he was no longer surprised.

Leaving the space, Mu You planned to continue the game.

As a result, as soon as he picked up his mobile phone, he suddenly felt a strong fluctuation from something on his body.

Mu You hurriedly checked it, and the source of the fluctuation was the Shadow Ghost Box.

This time, though, instead of being anxious and angry at him, as it had done before, it was more like 'begging' for him to let it go.

Mu You was surprised, the shadow ghost would actually beg for mercy?

The Shadow Ghost is the embodiment of tyranny and negative emotions, and it is said that it has no intelligence and is only driven by the killing instinct, but since the last time the Shadow Ghost devoured the soul of the ghost at the bottom of the sea, fell into a deep sleep and woke up, it seems to have a certain amount of sanity, and usually spends most of the time in a very calm state, and will no longer get angry at every turn.

But whether it's sane or not, it's impossible to release it, and the consequences of releasing a shadow ghost in a densely populated city are incalculable.

Mu You decisively wanted to take the shadow ghost back again, but he didn't expect that at this time, the shadow ghost immediately stopped pleading and began to hit the box frantically, but it was not the exit of the box, but in another direction.

"Where do you want me to take you?" Mu You looked at the shadow ghost in the box strangely.

The shadow ghost slammed harder.

"Okay......"

Mu You thought about it and decided to take a look, and he had to confirm the reason why it suddenly went crazy first.

At this time, it was already evening, Mu You closed the door of the store, went out incognito, and went in the direction indicated by the shadow ghost.

……

At the same time, in the other corner of the city, on the roof of a certain 100-meter-high building.

Under the dark canopy, a young man with glasses and a middle-aged man stood at the edge of the building, overlooking the bustling night scene of K City.

At the feet of the two of them, there was also a man in black, who was wrapped in an illusory chain, and his mouth was also gagged, and he could only squirm desperately on the ground.

"The guy who asked you to investigate, how's the investigation going?" The youth asked.

"That person's information was hidden by the Celestial Empire officials, and nothing was found...... "The middle-aged man said embarrassedly.

"Then forget it, it's important to find the fourteenth."

"Young master, but we ...... Do you really want to do that? The middle-aged man looked at the man in black on the ground in embarrassment. This man was his subordinate yesterday, but now he is going to be sacrificed.

"There's no time."

The young man shook his head: "Those fools parked Sky City directly above our heads, there must be some plan, I need to go back as soon as possible, and before that, if I want to find out the 14th, I can only do this." ”

"This is too risky, the people of the Celestial Empire will not let our ...... go later," the middle-aged man sighed.

"It doesn't matter, No. 14 is the most perfect piece of work so far, as long as I find it, my last piece of the puzzle is complete, and after that, whatever they want to do, it doesn't matter to us." The youth said.

"But...... Are you sure that it will come? The middle-aged man asked.

"It's coming, as long as it's still in K-City......"

As the young man spoke, the shadows behind him began to change rapidly, men, women, and children, tall and low, fat and thin, constantly switching shapes, until they turned into the shape of a curly-haired girl, and then finally stopped.

The young man kicked the man in black at his feet off the building.

The man in black fell straight down with a desperate look.

"Go, Louise, summon your best friend and see if it will come for you......"

With the voice of the young man, the shadow behind him quickly broke away from him, turned into a black shadow, and rushed straight towards the man in black who was falling below.

A few seconds later, the man in black fell to the ground, causing a scream from passers-by below, and nearby pedestrians panicked and dispersed.

After dozens of seconds, the man in black who fell to the ground and died tragically suddenly stood up, and the appearance of the whole person slowly changed, and finally turned into a girl who was entangled in a rich black gas.

The black qi continued to entangle and gather around the girl's body, and finally condensed into a black ghost figure more than five meters high, the ghost shadow opened blood-red eyes, curled up with sharp claws, and raised its head to the sky and let out an angry roar.
