Chapter 365: The Spatial Rift Opens
"No. 5-23 in Shangjing District has found traces of shadow ghosts, please rush to support nearby team members immediately!"
Mu You looked at the message received on his phone, turned on the map mode, and looked at the location.
As expected, the location of the Shadow Ghost is located in the eastern area of the Thousand Valleys District, which is exactly the opposite direction of his current position.
Mu You naturally ignored this, these shadow ghosts were all used to divert the tiger from the mountain, and it was enough to let others deal with it, his current task was to find the location of the spatial crack in the shortest possible time.
Mu You sent the sleeping little girl back to the lock cylinder space, and then left the building in the night.
These shadow people can't exist as simple shadows for long, and most of the time, they can only exist in human form, and they need to eat, drink, and sleep like ordinary people.
And the purpose of the person behind the scenes is to pass through the crack and return to the Star Spirit Realm as soon as possible after the spatial rift is opened, so there is a greater possibility that he will hide near the spatial rift and wait for the rift to open.
According to the conversation between the two people heard in the Gu Pond, the spatial crack was near the little girl's house, and how far away this 'vicinity' was, the two didn't mention it, and for the time being, it was bounded by a radius of five hundred meters nearby.
Mu You drew a circle along the location of Ye Rumeng's house on the paper map.
Next, he is going to conduct a carpet search in this circle, looking for people who are not players.
With a radius of five hundred meters, it seems that the range is quite large, but fortunately, this area is not too densely populated, and there are omniscient crystals, so he only needs to take a closer look at everyone to confirm whether it is a player.
It took a whole night, but he didn't find any suspicious people until the next day, when all the residents of the neighborhood were going to work and school as normal.
"Did you guess wrong, the man didn't crouch around here?"
Mu You stood on the top of a high-rise building, looking at the dense flow of people on the road below and thinking.
Of course, this night he also searched the suspicious areas in the vicinity, and also did not find any spatial cracks, this thing does not seem to have any anomalies at all when it is not opened, that is, even if someone passes in front of it, it is impossible to see that it is a spatial crack.
So if you want to find the spatial rift, you can only find the person behind the curtain first, but this guy is well hidden, and the most important thing is that the time is too short to conduct a large-scale search, which leads to a deadlock in this matter.
In this way, he can only synchronize this information first, let the Japanese government send a large number of people to block this area, and then slowly look for it, so that although it will startle the snake, at least it can prevent the other party from escaping directly tonight.
"Huh?"
Just as Mu You took out his mobile phone and hesitated whether to disclose the information, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a patch of yellow on the road below.
It was a group of elementary school students wearing yellow hats, and they were crossing the road en masse under the guidance of the teacher.
This scene made Mu You stunned, and suddenly realized something.
He checked the game IDs of all the residents in the neighborhood last night, but not all of them entered the game, applied for the Fool activation code, and there was a hard age requirement.
In other words, if the person was disguised as a child, he would not be able to see it with the Omniscient Crystal.
However, he also noticed the children in this neighborhood last night, the children who did not live alone, all lived with their guardians, their parents were normal people, there was no problem, if these children had been missing for more than a month, it was impossible for their parents not to report the case......
Wait a minute......
Mu You suddenly remembered something.
He seems to know about a child who has disappeared but has not been registered in Japan.
Sayaka!
The characters mentioned in Louise's diary, whose names and descriptions look like children from Japan, are not recorded in the missing persons database.
If there is no missing information, it means that the person is still in Japan. A person who was once clearly arrested in the Society of the Dead, but now she is still living a normal life in the local area, the only possibility is that she is already a shadow person!
Thinking of this, Mu You immediately used an old-fashioned mobile phone to contact Lu Yao.
"Hello?"
"Check something for me again."
"What are you looking for?"
"An elementary school in Tokyo, a registration list of all students, looking for a student named 'Sayaka' among them."
"Tokyo?"
Lu Yao's unbelievable voice came from the phone: "Big brother, have you gone abroad now?" ”
"You don't care about the specifics, just say if you can check it."
"Yes, yes, but do you know how many elementary schools there are in Tokyo? You only give me a name, or a popular name like 'Shayeka', how can I check it! Lu Yao complained.
"Don't worry, it won't be too difficult to check. The child, who was eight years old, had been absent from school for an extended period of time about a year ago. Mu You reported the information calculated from the diary.
"Oh, that's okay......"
"How long will it take?"
"A day or so." Lu Yao said.
"No, it's been too long, I'll have to get the results by this afternoon, and it's useless if it's late." Mu lobbied.
"Afternoon...... I'm alone, hundreds of school servers, you really think I'm a god! ”
"Can't do it?"
"It's not that it can't be done, it's impossible at all! You go and ask anyone, if someone can do it, I'll call you Dad! Lu Yao swore what he said.
"A blue suit." Mu lobbied.
"Lean ......"
There was no movement on the other side for a while, and only after half a sound did he hold back a sentence: "...... Count you rich! ”
"So will you get the results before the afternoon?" Mu You confirmed, if she couldn't do it, he could only go to the Japanese government to cooperate, but it was still that problem, the more the news spread, the more likely it was to startle the snake.
"It's not impossible, but it needs to be done in an unconventional way...... But anyway, it's the system of the book, and I don't have a psychological burden to make a mess for them......" Lu Yao muttered to herself, and after saying a term that Mu You didn't understand, she hung up the phone.
……
Just when Mu You and Lu Yao were plotting to act, there were frequent accidents in Japan.
Today's Tokyo seems to be particularly lively, and since the first shadow ghost appeared on the streets of Tokyo in the early morning, shadow people that had been hidden before began to appear one after another all over Japan.
The masters from the Japanese Defense Agency and the exchange group are running back and forth like firefighters, constantly dealing with the shadow ghosts that appear.
Of course, such a busy work is not without gain, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the people on both sides finally found the hiding place of those members of the Wind and Thunder Gate according to the trajectory of one of the shadow ghosts when he fled, and captured all of them in one fell swoop.
However, it is a pity that these people who are caught are all peripheral members, and they can't ask anything from their mouths at all, and those real core members, as long as they fall into their hands, will quickly become corpses.
"These guys, they're too ruthless, aren't they?"
Looking at the shadow that had just dissipated another wail in front of him, a member of the dragon group couldn't help but complain. This was the tenth shadow man they had caught today, and none of them were left alive.
"The opponent does not hesitate to throw so many chess pieces to explode, which can only show that they have other goals!" The Blood Emperor shook his head and said, "This is forcibly diverting our attention so that we have no time to take care of anything else. ”
The others glanced at each other and nodded, and at the end of the day, even the most sluggish people could feel that the other party was deliberately sneaking them around.
"Yes, but this is a conspiracy, even if we guess that the other party has other plans, there is no way." Director Wang sighed, eliminating all the shadow ghosts is the ultimate goal of their trip, every hidden shadow ghost is a time bomb, although it is now in the territory of another country, but the ghost knows when they will transfer to the country to take revenge, so as long as the shadow ghost shows his head, they can only choose to prioritize mine clearance.
"However, the price of the other party's conspiracy is not low."
The Blood Emperor said, "With such a self-detonation method, how many shadow people can they consume?" ”
"The other party dares to sacrifice his subordinates so happily, it can only mean that they don't need these chess pieces anymore, and they are probably ready to abandon the car to protect the commander and let the mastermind behind the scenes evacuate the earth." Director Wang muttered: "In this way, there may be a more concentrated wave of outbreaks waiting for us tonight!" ”
Everyone else was shocked when they heard this, and now this frequency of occurrence has made them a little anxious, and a bigger outburst must be, to what extent?
"That's okay, the mastermind behind the scenes took the initiative to evacuate, which shows that he doesn't want to clash with us head-on, this is a manifestation of concessions, saving us a lot of effort, it's best to solve the matter completely tonight." The Blood Emperor said.
……
A few hours later, it turned out that Director Wang's guess had come true.
At midnight that night, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the city of Tokyo.
A total of sixteen Shadow Ghosts have appeared in the major commercial areas at the same time, of which nine are humanoid Shadow Ghosts and seven are giant Shadow Ghosts.
The humanoid shadow ghost is okay, there is a rational existence, and after appearing, they basically flee in all directions while being hunted down, and the actual damage caused is not very strong.
The trouble is the giant shadow ghosts, these things are equivalent to prehistoric monsters appearing on the streets of the city, without thoughts, only knowing destruction, as long as they appear, the local streets will soon be razed to the ground.
Although Director Wang had warned before that there might be a big wave tonight, the Japanese side still looked at the intensity of the enemy's counterattack.
The Wind and Thunder Gate obviously detonated all the last remnants of the force, directly causing the whole of Tokyo to be directly chaotic into a pot of porridge, the earthquake trembled, the flames soared into the sky, the explosions continued, and a large number of residents poured into the streets to flee in all directions, crying and screaming endlessly, a scene of the end coming.
"Director Wang, these large shadow ghosts, do you think your group has also arranged some people to support?"
Makiyama Hayada looked out the window at the chaotic streets, sweating profusely and holding up his mobile phone to ask for help.
"President Hayata, this is what we agreed before, if something happens tonight, our people will be responsible for chasing down those shadow people, and the shadow ghosts will be handled by you, right?" The voice of Director Wang came from the phone.
"That's right, but ...... No one thought there would be so many shadow ghosts before! ”
Makiyama Hayata's face is full of bitterness, seven shadow ghosts, each of them has epic destructive power, their entire defense club, plus the player troops that can be mobilized by the people, is the limit to deal with three, seven, let them take the head to fight!
"President Hayata, this is what you have to deal with. Don't forget, the Shadow Ghost seems to be powerful, but after all, it has no mind, as long as it is eliminated, it will be done once and for all. And these wise shadow people who can hide are the real threat to both of us, because as long as they are allowed to escape, they may continue to create new shadow ghosts in the future, so I think you understand which side of the task is more important. ”
The voice on the phone silenced Hayata. Indeed, he also knew in his heart that the shadow ghosts were only in the throes on the surface, and if those shadow people were not eradicated, it would be more harmful in the future.
It's a pity that people are often short-sighted, especially when this happens in their territory, they have to consider not only the question of which side of the future is more harmful, but also the current public opinion and the reaction of the people.
If these shadow ghosts are not handled properly, they will cause huge casualties in the country, and the spittle of the people alone can drown them.
However, these things do not need to be considered by the other party's exchange group, people only need to complete their own tasks and remove things that threaten their own country, as for the rest, let you go to the local area after the flood, what does it matter?
At this moment, Hayada figured out everything, but he didn't dare to complain openly, so he could only ask for good words, hoping that after the exchange group got rid of those shadow people, he could come back as soon as possible to help them.
Director Wang naturally agreed to this, and the two sides hung up the phone in a 'pleasant' exchange.
At 0:30 p.m., half an hour after the shadow ghost erupted, there was still chaos in the city of Tokyo.
Aoki District, one of the few areas that has not been affected by the chaos, can still remain relatively calm at the moment.
In a residential building, a little girl gets out of bed late at night.
The girl had a composure beyond her years, and the faint shouts and explosions from outside did not cause any ripples in her face at all.
The girl got up expressionlessly, dressed and freshened up, kept herself clean and tidy, finally changed into sneakers and black clothes, looked at her watch, took the flashlight prepared on the table, quietly pushed open the door and walked out.
The girl calmly went downstairs in the dark until she came to the door of the first floor.
However, when she reached for the doorknob, a woman's voice sounded behind her.
"Sayaka, where are you going?"
The woman was startled, hurriedly walked over quickly, and pulled the girl back: "It's very chaotic outside tonight, and the news says that you should stay at home as much as possible, and you still go out and run around!" ”
The girl was dragged back to the living room by the woman, still not saying a word, just looking up at the woman, and the woman was a little creepy.
"What's wrong, why don't you speak? You've been a little strange these days, since you came back from your home on Tuesday night, you seem to have suddenly changed to a different person, and you haven't seen you smile again, is it sick somewhere? The woman asked worriedly.
The woman said that she was going to press the light switch subconsciously.
But just as she turned, a sharp claw pierced her throat from behind.
The woman fell to the ground clutching her bleeding neck, looked at the girl behind her in disbelief, and wanted to speak but couldn't make a sound.
"Thank you for taking care of you for the past three days."
The girl's mouth made a childish voice, and she shook off the blood on her arm expressionlessly, and then in the woman's frightened and desperate eyes, she turned to open the door and left the building.
After going out, the girl put on her hood and completely blended into the night in black.
The girl walked out of the courtyard and walked to a park not far from the building, stopped in a corner of the park, and reached out to push away several thick bluestone slabs on the ground, revealing a dry well hidden below.
After looking left and right to make sure that there was no one around, the girl jumped into the dry well.
A wide passage had been dug at the bottom of the well, and the girl turned on her flashlight and walked briskly along the passage.
All the way to the deepest part of the passage, at the end of the front, a long and narrow blue spatial crack stood on the stone wall there, and from the crack came a completely unfamiliar night scene, like an open eye, looking at the environment of this underground from another world.
After confirming that the crack was opened, the girl turned off the flashlight and walked briskly towards the light ahead.
However, just as she was about to crack, she suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis coming from her side, and hurriedly rolled to the side.
In the next moment, a scythe struck the spot where she had been standing.
At the same time, the girl noticed a figure suddenly appear in front of the entrance to the crack in front of her, blocking her path.
"It turns out that the spatial crack is hidden in this kind of place, no wonder no one has found it for so many years."
Because this reality in Japan is more sensitive in terms of plot themes, the outline has been deleted a little, deleting a plot of fighting wits and courage with the wind and thunder gate, and quickly jumping to the result, so the rhythm of this chapter is a little faster.
