Chapter 358: The Aftermath of the Turmoil
There is no shadow, so it seems that the shadow may be the essence of this person. The change in this person's appearance, as well as the text in the game when Granny Tang became a shadow ghost, also made the appearance change to the shape of a shadow first, and then prompted to become a shadow ghost.
This form of transformation made Mu You think of 'skin'. If the mind clone can find the corpse of the aborigines in the astral realm, whether it is the body that died in the past or was temporarily killed, it can be 'worn' as a skin, so as to replace the corresponding aborigines.
Since players can enter the Astral Spirit Realm in the form of game characters, is it possible for the people of the Astral Spirit Realm to invade the Earth in a similar way in turn?
If the shadow is regarded as the skin, the people of the astral spirit realm can obtain the shadow of the earthlings through a certain method, and they can change the appearance into the appearance of the earthlings through the shadows, so that they can hide on the earth unconsciously and mix with the normal work and life of the humans.
The reason why there is this speculation is because when Mu You explored the young man with glasses before, the other party did not feedback back the game ID.
If this person himself is a person from the Star Spirit Realm, and the young man with glasses he saw is just a 'game character' of the other party, then everything can be explained.
The muscular man killed by Lin Xue in front of him was only one of the other party's 'skins', and the other party escaped by abandoning this skin and abandoning the car to protect the handsome, so that the body, that is, the shadow.
"I'll go to the beach." Lin Xue said, and after speaking, she ran towards the seaside with a sickle. The direction that the other party wanted to escape just now was obviously going to the beach, and if the other party escaped by shadow, the most likely thing was to run to the beach.
Mu You didn't stop her, but he didn't have much hope, in this kind of wilderness without lights, it was too easy for a shadow to escape.
After Lin Xue left, Mu You turned his head and looked at the two shadow ghosts not far ahead. At this time, the two shadow ghosts were still fiercely fighting each other, but after the initial grappling phase, the gap between the two sides was quickly revealed.
The later shadow ghost is obviously not the opponent of the box shadow ghost, after the initial violent momentum has dissipated, there is only the part of the beating, and the box shadow ghost continues to tear off the black gas from the body, the body is becoming shorter and shorter, and the strength gap between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.
After another few tens of seconds, the box shadow ghost finally made up for the final blow, and completely tore the extremely weak shadow ghost in front of him in half with a single claw.
The shadow ghost fell to the ground in an unwilling wail, and the black qi quickly dissipated, leaving only the corpse of a man in black on the spot, his eyes were round, and he maintained an extremely frightened expression, and he could not die anymore if he was already dead.
And Mu You was at hand, the little girl didn't know when she had woken up, and she was standing behind Mu You, staring blankly at the shadow ghost in front of her, and the confusion in her eyes gradually dissipated.
Mu You didn't have time to pay attention to her, so he quickly took the shadow ghost box in his hand, and also held the pocket watch in his other hand.
The next question is how to seal the ghost back...... Mu You was able to release the shadow ghost so decisively, one was because this shadow ghost reacted to the little girl, and the other was that the shadow ghost had shown signs that he could communicate before.
But even so, Mu You didn't think that the other party was finally released, and would go back obediently. In the distance, the shadow ghost finished killing his opponent, and the fury in his eyes continued unabated, and he immediately began to search for his next target.
As soon as he turned his gaze, he saw Ye Rumeng in the distance. Seeing the little girl being stopped behind by another person, the shadow ghost suddenly roared angrily, threw down the body of the man in black at his feet, and pounced in the direction of the two.
The shadow ghost came in the blink of an eye, raised its claws towards Mu You, and was about to swing down. Mu You had already hidden the box behind him at this time, waiting for the moment when the shadow ghost rushed to take it out.
"Don't!" However, just as the shadow ghost pounced and the claws were about to be filmed, Ye Rumeng behind him suddenly stepped forward and shouted instinctively.
Mu You was stunned, and subconsciously pulled the little girl behind him to protect her, and then pressed the pocket watch. Unexpectedly, at this time, after hearing the little girl's voice, the shadow ghost suddenly paused, did not continue to attack, but floated backwards.
The shadow ghost floated in the air, looking at the girl who was protected by Mu You, wanting to approach but not daring, and didn't know where to place its paws, like a child who had done something wrong.
After a pause for a few seconds, the shadow ghost lunged at the two of them again, but this time instead of attacking, he plunged headlong into the box in Mu You's hand.
The box closes automatically and there is no movement. Mu You looked at the shadow ghost box in surprise, and then looked at the little girl, but he didn't expect that the shadow ghost actually went back by himself under the words of the little girl......
"Woo woo......" At this time, he noticed that Ye Rumeng behind him suddenly began to cry, looking very sad.
"Mengmeng, what do you remember?" Mu You asked her hurriedly.
"No......" The little girl shook her head, tears were still welling up in her eyes, she raised the back of her hand to wipe it, but the tears were wiped more and more.
"I just suddenly felt ...... It's so sad......" After crying for a while, she raised her head, looked at Mu You with teary eyes and asked, "Mu You, my sister...... Is it really alive? ”
"Of course." Mu You nodded at her, although he was also a little skeptical that the shadow ghost in the box would be the little girl's sister.
But the conclusion that her sister is still alive is the result of what the divination told him at the beginning, and it is said that there will be no mistakes...... At this time, footsteps sounded in the distance.
The two turned their heads to look, and it was Lin Xue who came out of the darkness.
"How?" Mu You asked.
"Didn't find it." Lin Xue shook her head.
"Forget it, you take her back first, I'll deal with it here." Mu You looked up into the distance, at this moment, the sirens around him had gathered from all directions, and soon the police and people from the Abnormal Investigation Bureau would arrive at the scene.
"Okay, then be careful." Lin Xue nodded, took the little girl and left first, and soon disappeared into the night.
After Lin Xue left, Mu You did not leave the scene, but changed his skin and found a stone to sit down next to the muscular man's body.
A moment later, the sound of footsteps sounded in the distance, followed by the beams of various flashlights shining on him.
"Mu You?" A familiar voice sounded in the distance.
"Don't shoot, your own people!" With this shout, a group of policemen with guns ran from a distance, led by Zhang Yang.
"Here we are." Mu You raised his hand and greeted.
"Mu You, what's going on? What about shadow ghosts? Zhang Yang looked at the mess all over the ground in amazement, the trees on the scene were crooked, the ground was cracked, and there were big and small pits on the ground.
"You're a step late, and the battle is over." Mu lobbied.
"You solved it?" Zhang Yang looked at him in shock, and then looked at the corpse not far away. The news he had just received was that a shadow ghost had appeared in the urban area of K-City, and it destroyed a block in an instant.
Fortunately, there seemed to be someone at the scene, and the shadow ghost was lured away in time, all the way to the outskirts of the city. After they received the police, they drove towards the crime site as soon as possible, but unfortunately they were still a step late, and what they didn't expect was that they actually saw Mu You first when they came to the scene.
He instinctively thought that it was Mu You who led away the shadow ghost and solved the shadow ghost.
"I don't have that much ability." Mu You shook his head and smiled.
"And what is this?"
"It's Captain Ghost, and the Red Scythe Maiden." This is a half-truth, anyway, just push everything to another identity.
"Ah......" Zhang Yang didn't expect to be involved in these two mysterious bosses.
"What's going on? Tell me about it! Zhang Yang hurriedly asked.
"I came a little earlier than you, when I rushed over, the battle had come to an end, and the two bigwigs had eliminated the shadow ghost, but it seemed that there was a hidden culprit behind it, and the two bigwigs asked me to watch the scene, and they chased the murderer."
"Where did you go?"
"Over there." Mu You pointed in the direction of the seaside.
"Quick, you guys, go over and help." Zhang Yang hurriedly assigned a team of people to go in the direction that Mu You pointed out, and the rest of the people immediately blocked the scene.
It wasn't until the support troops arrived and everything settled down at the scene that Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Fortunately, nothing happened to me...... But then you'll have to go back with me and make a note. ”
"I understand." Mu You nodded. Next, Mu You followed Zhang Yang back to the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau in a car, and described his experience tonight half-truthfully.
Everything he said fits perfectly with the situation on the spot, so no one doubts it. However, Mu You also knew that it was impossible to characterize this matter based on his explanation alone, and he would definitely find another party, Captain Ghost, for verification.
After Mu You got home late at night, he turned on his mobile phone and looked, and sure enough, he had received a private chat from Jiuyou on the forum, politely asking him what happened tonight.
"I solved the shadow ghost, but the mastermind behind it didn't catch it, and it was run away by that thing...... Mu You briefly talked to the other party, which happened to confirm his records at the police station.
By the way, I also specifically mentioned the other party's means of escape.
"You mean, it's possible that this person isn't human, but ...... 'thing' from the Astral Spirit Realm?" Jiuyou was surprised, of course he heard the hint of the ghost captain, and if this was true, it was said that the creatures of the star spirit world could somehow pretend to be humans and stir up trouble on this side of the earth.
There are so many issues that can be involved......
"It's just a guess, I'm not sure exactly what it is, and it's up to you to investigate." Mu You returned.
"Okay, leave it to us, and we'll keep you informed of the results of the investigation. In any case, today is really thanks to your timely action, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. "Nine Shadows.
"It's nothing, it's just a matter of hand......" Then the two exchanged a few words of greeting and hung up the private chat.
After finishing this work, Mu You exhaled and sat back on the sofa, so that he had time to take out the shadow ghost box and look at it.
In the box, the shadow ghost was quietly curled up in the corner, as if resting, noticing Mu You's gaze, and ignoring his meaning.
Mu You tried to communicate with it, such as asking it if he knew the little girl, whether it was the little girl's sister, etc., but the other party did not react, he said for a long time as if he was playing the piano to the cow.
Just as Mu You was patiently preparing to continue trying, a mobile phone rang, from the old-fashioned mobile phone given by Lu Yao.
"The identities of the two people you asked me to check have been found." The phone was connected, and Lu Yao opened his mouth with this sentence.
"Oh? Who is it? Mu You asked.
"Both of them are from the book's side.,A force called'Wind Thunder Gate',The young one of them should be the internal heir of the Wind Thunder Gate.,Equivalent to the head of the family.。
"Wind Thunder Gate?" Mu You recalled it and confirmed that he had no impression of the name at all.
"It's an underworld organization, its strength is average, and it doesn't have a good reputation in Japan, so it's normal for you to not know." Lu Yao said: "However, there is a very strange place about the young man with glasses. ”
"What?"
"This person is said to have been a very perverse gentleman in the past, fighting, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling and doing everything, and it is common to enter the game, and he was not the heir in the Fenglei Gate...... However, since one day five years ago, this person's personality suddenly changed dramatically, and he became calm and studious overnight, unsmiling, and extremely self-disciplined, and in just three months, he was completely recognized as the heir of the Wind and Thunder Gate, and mastered the real power of the family...... "Lu Yao said.
"Five years ago......" Mu You touched his chin, this time is a little familiar, before in the game, it seems that the time when Granny Tang appeared in the Cook Islands was also five years ago...... Coupled with the sudden change in this person's personality, his previous speculation is more likely to come true: this person is likely to be replaced by another person by the dove five years ago, and then secretly do something by controlling the power of the Wind and Thunder Gate...... This also explains why this person doesn't have a game ID, if this guy's body is a person from the astral spirit realm, he naturally can't be accepted by the fool's game.
However, since this information can be easily found by Lu Yao in one day, it is said that the state will definitely be able to find out more easily.
It is estimated that there should be news before tomorrow morning. Next, Mu You continued to hang up the game, continuing to search for clues in the Undead Society, while secretly paying attention to the news on the forum.
At about five o'clock the next morning, Mu You really received a call from Zhang Yang.
"The identities of the two corpses have been found out, both of them are Japanese, and the muscular man is said to have disappeared more than four years ago, and there has been no news since then, I didn't expect to appear with us in the form of corpses yesterday."
"What about the other one?"
"The other is also Japanese, who has lived in the Celestial Empire for a long time, and his ostensible identity is a businessman, but after we investigated his identity, we found that he belonged to a Japanese force called 'Wind and Thunder Gate'." Zhang Yang paused before continuing: "In addition, about this Wind Thunder Gate, a few days ago, the person in charge of this force, a young man named Tetsuya Kusanagi, just came to K City by plane, and we have checked it overnight last night, and there is no one in the place where they registered to live, and there are no clues about these people in other parts of K City, so it is very likely that they have fled abroad...... We now speculate that this person may be the mastermind behind this incident! ”
"What about casualties?" Mu You asked.
"It has been counted, five people died, more than 200 people were injured, and various buildings were damaged countless ...... Of course, the wounded building is easy to say, there are healing spells and repair spells, and it is not difficult to recover and rebuild. Fortunately, now that everyone is a player, their physical fitness has improved a lot, which has greatly reduced the death rate. Zhang Yang sighed after speaking: "However, the impact of this matter is still very bad!" The leader above is said to be very angry, discussed all night, and has decided to track it down to the end! ”
"So?" Mu You heard that Zhang Yang had something to say.
"So, now there's a thing." Zhang Yang said embarrassedly: "The above decided to send a group of masters from all over the country to form an 'exchange group' to go to Japan to investigate this matter in detail. ”
"After all, this happened in our K City, if our branch doesn't send people, it's a bit unreasonable, but we have too few masters here......" Zhang Yang was very embarrassed.
Mu You naturally understood, and Zhang Yang hoped that he could go to Japan with the group on behalf of K City.
"Of course, this is not mandatory, if you don't want to go, I fully understand......" Hearing that Mu You didn't move, Zhang Yang hurriedly said again.
"Go, of course I'll go." Mu You said suddenly.
"Ah, you're really going?"
"Why don't you go to the opportunity to travel at public expense. Besides, I was one of the witnesses at the scene, and it was only right for me to go. Mu You smiled and said.
Not to mention that the things of the shadow ghost and the wind and thunder gate are all related to him, on the other hand, he has long wanted to go to Japan to investigate the little girl's life experience.
It's just that he suddenly went to Japan alone, which was somewhat abrupt and a little sensitive in his identity.
