The light of the cannon pierced the ground.

The white light dissipated, and Mu You looked down to see that a large hole several meters wide had been exposed on the ground, and it was pitch black downward, bottomless.

Mu You raised the palm of the robot, and in the sand spider nest on his back, dense micro-mechanical spiders poured out, jumped down his arm, and crawled into the hole in the ground, and quickly explored down.

A moment later, there were already sand spiders who had already found the entrance to the underground first, Mu You nodded at Lin Xue, and the two jumped into it in turn.

Following the path explored by the sand spider, after a long period of descent, the two finally saw the light ahead.

Rushing out of the light, you will be greeted by an empty underground factory, surrounded by roads and walls that illuminate the entire interior of the factory.

Just when the two of them landed and didn't stand firm, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and rushed straight towards the two.

However, before the figure could approach, a string of tongues of fire erupted from the barrel of Mu You's raised right arm, and the floating bullets formed a line in the air, spinning the opponent like a spinning top and knocking it back, knocking out a large crater in the wall behind him.

The floating machine gun did no damage, so it didn't cause any serious damage to the other party, and the figure in the distance landed, revealing an elderly witch with a wrinkled face and a rickety body.

Mu You had never seen this person, but this person's appearance made him feel very familiar.

Granny Tang, the one that appears in the game text, is the original administrator of the Undead Society.

Mu You glanced behind her, and sure enough, the shadow of a long-haired girl was connected behind the other party.

Granny Tang stared at Mu You and Lin Xue in the distance with a hideous face, a layer of black gas gradually emerged from her body, and the whole person quickly turned into a young long-haired woman, her eyes were scarlet, and her ten fingers all turned into sharp claws.

In the next second, the long-haired woman pounced on the two of them with her teeth and claws.

When he met Granny Tang for the first time in the game, Mu You was directly killed in seconds, which shows that the strength of this shadow ghost should be regarded as the strongest category among humanoid shadow ghosts.

But no matter how strong the other party is, it won't be a problem, he is not a game character now, but a real person standing here.

What's more, he also has a shadow pom-pom on him that specializes in shadow creatures.

The long-haired woman rushed halfway, her figure suddenly stopped, and she maintained a sprinting posture and stopped in place, as if she had fallen into petrification.

In the elongated shadow behind her, a ripple rippled, and then a black pom-pom ball peeked out of the ripple with a pair of eyes, secretly looking at the outside world.

In front of the shadow ghost, Mu You had already raised the cannon again, the white light of the muzzle surged, and the energy gathered rapidly.

The long-haired woman felt the deadly threat from the muzzle, her body trembled, and her face became more hideous, but she was bound by the shadow behind her, and she couldn't dodge at all, let alone escape, she could only watch the muzzle of the cannon facing her get brighter and brighter.

This time, Mu You directly filled up with a minute of energy, which was stimulated.

"Boom!"

The surging pillar of energy flooded the woman and pierced through the buildings behind her, blasting out a straight line in the labyrinthine underground factory.

After the light passed, there was no woman in the same place, only the remnants of a wriggling shadow on the ground.

"Ahhh......h

The shadow ghost had just died, and Granny Tang was quickly resurrected not far from the other direction, but she had already reverted to the form of an old witch, and there was no shadow behind her.

At this time, the resurrected Granny Tang let out a terrible scream, as if she was suffering indescribable pain, and fell to the ground, the nails of her hands scratching out blood marks on her face, but she didn't realize it.

Soon Granny Tang stopped screaming, her eyes rolled and she fainted, and her vitality was quickly drained until death was gone.

After a few seconds of interval, Granny Tang was resurrected again in another direction, but this time she didn't even scream, her eyes turned white, her whole body was motionless, there was no trace of life, and she died again in less than two seconds after being resurrected, and the body disappeared quickly......

"What's wrong with this man?" Lin Xue looked at this scene strangely.

"The Shadow Ghost is a combination of tyranny and negative emotions, and the person possessed by the Shadow Ghost, after the Shadow Ghost is killed, if there is no other shadow to help take on these negative emotions, then all the negative emotions accumulated by the Shadow Ghost during his lifetime can only be transferred to the host...... Mu You shook his head and said.

Lin Xue was stunned when she heard this, and quickly understood.

Being able to turn a shadow into a shadow ghost, you can imagine what a huge collection of negative emotions it is, and the living person is absolutely unable to withstand this kind of impact, and after resurrection, he will be immediately hit by negative emotions to brain death, and it will not end with one brain death, but again and again, until he cannot be resurrected.

In fact, just as she expected, Granny Tang began to repeat the process of resurrection and death again and again, and the gap between death became shorter and shorter, until dozens of times later, even when she was resurrected, she no longer appeared in her body, until her life was completely exhausted, and she stopped and disappeared into this world forever.

The two looked at this scene with embarrassment, did not stop, and continued to move forward along the passage blasted by the cannon.

Moments later, the two appeared in front of the entrance to the West End of the underground factory.

This is the hiding place of the person behind the scenes, and if the person behind the scenes returns, it is possible that he will still hide here.

Before the two could get closer, a series of footsteps suddenly came from the darkness ahead.

The five figures walked out of the darkness step by step, each with a shadow ghost wrapped around their bodies, it was none other than the five administrators of this factory, led by a little boy shadow ghost.

This shadow ghost Mu You also recognized that the shadow of the hemp rod administrator before was the image of this little boy.

The five shadow ghosts, led by the little boy, besieged the two of them viciously.

Mu You waved his hand and threw out the shadow pom-pom.

The shadow pom-pom quickly flew in front of the little boy Shadow Ghost, and before the little boy could raise his hand, it suddenly became larger, opened a huge mouth, and swallowed the little boy Shadow Ghost directly, chewed a few bites and swallowed it, and then jumped behind the other Shadow Ghost, controlling it unable to move.

The five shadow ghosts were eaten one by one, and the remaining three were still rushing towards Mu You and Lin Xue.

Mu You didn't talk nonsense about this, and directly took out the shadow ghost box and lifted the lid.

When he first entered the underground factory, he noticed that the shadow ghost in the box suddenly became extremely violent, and frantically hit the lid to get out.

Obviously, this place has a deep connection to it.

The box shadow ghost is definitely the most powerful one of the shadow ghosts Mu You has ever seen, there is no reason not to use such a strong combat power, with the shadow pom-pom on his body, he doesn't have to worry about the box shadow ghost being uncontrollable after it comes out, so he directly released it.

Sure enough, as soon as the box shadow ghost appeared, the furious aura instantly shocked the audience.

The three shadow ghosts that were rushing in front of them suddenly shuddered, and they subconsciously stopped, and they were about to retreat.

It's a pity that it's too late, the huge figure of the shadow ghost is coming in an instant, punching one by one, smashing the two shadow ghosts into the ground, and starting to flatten one claw after another, and one against two will also beat the two shadow ghosts without the power to fight back.

And the last shadow ghost who wanted to escape was also entangled by Mu You and Lin Xue.

Mu You directly switched the fighting circuit and fought hand-to-hand with the shadow ghost at close range, and although Lin Xue couldn't summon the Death Phantom now, but the attributes and black magic alone were enough to cause big trouble for the shadow ghost, and under the combination of the two, this shadow ghost had no chance to escape, and was quickly killed by the two of them.

When the two of them finished killing the Shadow Ghost and looked back, the remaining three Shadow Ghosts in the field had been torn apart by the enraged box Shadow Ghost.

The five shadow ghosts all died, and the five administrators who were resurrected ended up like Granny Tang, swallowed up by a large number of negative emotions, and died repeatedly in place until their life was exhausted.

"The shadows devoured by the Shadow God have all been returned, but these people still don't have their own shadows, and it seems that their shadows have not been fed to the Shadow God." Mu lobbied.

If I'm not mistaken, the shadows of these people should be in the hands of those behind the scenes, and this is how he controls these administrators and prevents them from rebelling.

"Roar!"

After venting his anger, the shadow ghost of the box was still not satisfied, and had no intention of going back to the box at all, and quickly looked into the depths of the West District, breaking into the darkness of the West District like a bulldozer.

"It looks like it's going to take us there."

Mu You and Lin Xue hurriedly followed.

The Shadow Ghost's massive body crashed through the maze of the West Side, and finally broke into an empty hall.

It was a hexagonal hall, and a circular pool several meters deep had been dug out of the ground, and the pool was full of black and crushed Gu worms.

As if sensing the approach of a human, the insects in the pool suddenly became excited, surging like ocean waves.

"Roar!"

The shadow ghost roared again, jumped directly into the pool, and launched a crazy attack on the Gu insects all over the ground, the Gu worms quickly crawled all over the body of the shadow ghost, but it was useless to face the shadow ghost who could not parasitize, but the shadow ghost could easily shoot a large number of insects to death with every claw.

"Uh......"

The two followed all the way, and what they saw was this picture of the shadow ghost frantically shooting insects.

"It seems to have a grudge against these insects...... Lin Xue said.

Mu You's face was also strange, he originally thought that the shadow ghost rushed in to bring them to find the person behind the scenes, but he ran here to fight with the insects......

It's not that it's incomprehensible, the owners of these shadow ghosts have basically been tortured by the Gu worms here in their lifetimes, and they are sure that they have a psychological shadow with this Gu pool, and these negative emotions are also truthfully transferred to the shadow ghosts in the end.

Seeing the picture of the shadow ghost slaughtering insects in the pool like a vengeful child, Mu You suddenly remembered something and hurriedly ran to the other side of the Gu pool.

In the corner of the Gu pond on the other side, a finger-sized golden silkworm chrysalis grew on the ground, and the surrounding insects were consciously staying away, giving way to a circular open space around the silkworm chrysalis.

Mu You jumped directly into the open space and carefully picked up the silkworm chrysalis.

This silkworm chrysalis has not yet hatched, and it cannot be contracted for the time being, so it will be brought back and raised first.

As soon as the silkworm chrysalis started, the objects that the surrounding insects avoided suddenly became Mu You, and they left him one by one.

Mu You ignored the insects, but looked up at the high platform in front of the Gu Pond.

The person behind the curtain before was hidden on the high platform, and it seemed to stay here for a long time, of course, after the shadow god was out of control, there must be no one on it now.

Mu You jumped onto the high platform, and there was really no one on the pitch-black high platform.

Lin Xue also jumped over from behind, condensing a ball of light at the tip of the wand to illuminate the surroundings.

On this high platform is arranged like a study, with a bed in the deepest part of the study, and in front of the bed are desks, bookshelves and other furniture, but all the furniture has been shattered, and many of them have been crushed to the ground, and a large number of broken papers, books, and notes are scattered on the ground, as if they have just been peared by a monster.

Mu You walked to the center of the room, switched to vampire skin, and released the search spell, and the search target was still 'Louise'.

Dozens of seconds later, the search resulted, Mu You followed the golden guide rune to find it, and finally pulled out a note from a certain book on the abandoned bookshelf.

【…… Because of similar personalities and habits, I get along more and more harmoniously with Shayaka, she is like a little angel, always warm me with a smile, when I am with her, I can temporarily forget the troubles in front of me, I regard her as the only relative here, her status in my heart, even more than Mianmian...... Today, however, I learned a piece of news that almost broke me: I overheard the administrator's conversation, or rather, they deliberately let me hear it - me and Sayaka are about to undergo a 'final treatment' and we will be thrown into a place called ' Between the Shadows', where we will suffer unimaginable torture, it is a mental torture ten times more painful than being thrown into the Gu pool, both of us will bear this pain at the same time, but each of us can take the initiative to choose to share some pain for the other, one of them will bear more, the other will need to bear less pain, but the pain will never stop until one of them dies...... The administrator's words implied that I either die to protect Sayaka, or kill Sayaka and live myself...... Before the final treatment began, I was already in a state of great mental torment......

——8/8】

Sure enough, it was the last 'Louise's diary fragment'.

Mu You was stunned after reading it.

The diary actually mentions the 'Shadow Room', which means that the Shadow Shadow can also pull ordinary people in, trap them in the Shadow Room, and forcibly inflict some kind of 'torture', which seems to be how the Shadow Ghost was created.

Of course, the Shadow Horse he had seen before didn't have this ability, and it seemed that it should be a new ability that could only be unlocked after the Shadow Pom-pom was upgraded to a certain level.

"Mu You, look at this!"

This is Lin Xue suddenly walked over, holding a stack of information booklets that he had just found from somewhere.

Mu You took a look.

The cover of the document reads: "Shadow Ghost Experiment Log".

Mu You opened it and saw that on the first page was a dense number of numbers, each number was followed by a '○' or '×', representing the success and failure of the experiment, from the statistical column below, there were more than 2500 numbers in total, of which only 57 were circled.

In other words, only 57 Shadow Demons have been born so far?

Mu You turned directly to the last page.

After the first page, there are 57 more pages left, which corresponds to the number of 57 Shadow Demons.

Mu You looked from back to front in turn, and found that there were two photos posted on each page, registering the information of two people, one of which was a child of a certain age, and the other was uncertain, men and women, young and old, of all ages.

Further down is the handwritten 'results of the experiment'.

The result of each page is that one of them chooses to endure all the pain and die in order to save the other, and this person will become an ordinary shadow ghost, and the person who is saved will indeed survive, but he will not be able to get rid of it, but will become a humanoid shadow ghost that retains consciousness after experiencing huge mental ups and downs, that is, the kind of controllable shadow ghost that can be grafted on a person.

When Mu You turned to the fifteenth page, he finally saw two familiar names: Louise and Shayexiang.

And the results of the experiment below, Mu You had actually guessed before reading it: Louise took the initiative to die to protect Shayeka and became an ordinary shadow ghost, and although Shayaka survived, she became a controllable shadow ghost, which was grafted onto others and became a combat tool for others.

"This is the 15th, the 14th ......"

Mu You hurriedly continued to turn the page.

Sure enough, on the fourteenth page, one of the two photos made him very familiar, it was Ye Rumeng.

And the other person on this page is sleeping.

In other words, the little girl and Mianmian were divided into a group in the experiment, and the so-called No. 14 actually refers to the two of them at the same time.

Judging from the previous results, the two people who are assigned to a group will definitely die and live in the end, one will become an ordinary shadow ghost, and the other will become a controllable shadow ghost...... What about the two of them?

Mu You continued to look down.

However, the column of experimental results below is empty.

It is also the only table in all 57 pages of records that has no results.
