Mu You continued to check the experimental records on other pages, and suddenly felt some movement on his body, looked down, and took a backpack from his waist.

This is the storage backpack he specially kept for entering the door, and it can only be opened in the Star Spirit Realm.

At this time, there was a sound of 'knocking on the door' from inside the backpack.

Among the people he knows, only Ye Rumeng can do this kind of thing.

Mu You opened the backpack opening, and sure enough, the little girl's head immediately came out of the backpack opening.

"Mu You, are you about to find my sister?" Ye Rumeng looked at Mu You expectantly and asked.

Mu You was stunned: "How do you know?" ”

"I don't know, it's just that I was so sleepy just now, and when I woke up again, I was already in this backpack......"

The little girl climbed out of her backpack as she spoke, and looked at the surrounding environment suspiciously: "Here...... It feels so familiar, I feel like I've been here before......"

The little girl kept walking around as she spoke, observing everything nearby, and soon became more and more sure of this, and looked back at Mu You in surprise: "That's right, this is it, the last time I saw my sister was here...... I remembered that my sister and I were once locked up here...... Right ahead! The little girl suddenly pointed to the darkness in front of the high platform.

"Mu You, my sister must still be here, let's go and save her!" Ye Rumeng hurriedly looked back at Mu Youyang and begged.

However, when he turned around, he found that Mu You was looking at her feet with a somewhat stunned expression.

"What's wrong?" Ye Rumeng was puzzled.

Mu You shook his head: "It's nothing, lead the way." ”

"Oh...... Come with me, right here! The little girl didn't suspect him, so she took out a flashlight out of nowhere, shone it on the darkness in front of her, and rushed straight in, while waving back and beckoning, signaling the two to follow quickly, and the shadow stretched out long behind her.

"Mu You, this is ......"

Lin Xue had also noticed the change in the little girl at this time, and looked at Mu You with some surprise.

Mu You shook his head at her helplessly, Lin Xue quickly realized something, and without asking any more, the two followed silently.

And in the Gu pool below, the shadow ghost who was shooting insects wildly also noticed something, paused his movements, looked up at the high platform, and when he saw the figure of the little girl rushing into the darkness in front of him, he suddenly let out a low sound, and couldn't care about the insects anymore, so he hurriedly climbed up to the high platform and chased after the three of them.

Ye Rumeng ran into the darkness alone, trotting through the dark path all the way to the floor of a hospital.

Looking at the double dormitories on both sides of the corridor, more and more familiar things appeared in front of me.

"That's right, this is ......"

Ye Rumeng's eyes lit up, and the familiar environment reminded her of more and more lost memories, remembering the things she had experienced here, and also remembering the room, the room where she and her sister lived together, was at the end of this corridor.

Ye Rumeng hurriedly looked into the depths of the corridor, and sure enough, the door of the deepest room was carved with a familiar pillow logo.

The little girl's face bloomed with joy, and she couldn't wait to rush over and push the door open.

"Sister, I'm here to save ......"

The sound stopped abruptly.

The room was not as bright and clean as she remembered, and it was filled with all kinds of children's toys and supplies.

Instead, it was an empty ruin, with crumbling crumbling crumbling glass and shattered glass all over the floor, and everything covered in dust, apparently abandoned for a long time.

The little girl looked at this scene blankly, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a while.

If my sister wasn't here, where could she be?

"Roar!"

At this moment, there was a roar from the side.

Ye Rumeng subconsciously turned his head to look, on the other side of this corner corridor, a shadow ghost more than three meters tall was standing in front of him, and after discovering the living person here, his whole body suddenly exuded a strong killing intent.

In the next moment, the shadow ghost rushed towards Ye Rumeng with his teeth and claws.

"Ahh

Ye Rumeng was startled, and subconsciously stepped back, but tripped over the door frame and fell to the ground.

The shadow ghost in front of him came in an instant, his claws waved, his eyes were scarlet, and his extremely oppressive height and monster-like size made Ye Rumeng instinctively close his eyes.

However, just as the shadow ghost's claws were about to descend on Ye Rumeng, another roar sounded from behind.

Immediately after that, a larger black shadow rushed from behind the little girl, and the latter came first, swept past the little girl, and directly threw the shadow ghost who was about to attack in front of him to the ground, claw by claw, and tore at the shadow ghost with great anger.

This ordinary shadow ghost was obviously no match for the box shadow ghost, and with the blessing of the box shadow ghost's anger, the ordinary shadow ghost under him was soon torn to pieces by it, leaving only a wriggling shadow residue in place.

The little girl stared blankly at the shadow ghost guarding her, but she didn't have time to speak, because there was already a denser roar in front of her.

"You're finally back here, ...... 14"

The little girl and the shadow ghost both looked up, and saw that at the end of the corridor ahead, there was a transparent cylindrical device, filled with some kind of liquid, and at this time there was a person immersed in the device, with a respirator attached to his mouth and nose, and various hoses inserted into his body.

Outside the cylindrical device, there were a large number of shadow ghosts, at least hundreds, each of which was bound by a black chain, and the other end of the chain was all connected to the device, like a row of bolted vicious dogs, guarding the device in the center.

At this time, the person in the cylinder had already opened his eyes, and it was he who had just made the sound.

When the shadow ghost saw the figure in the distance, he immediately became even more furious, but he did not lose his mind and rushed over.

It's not because it's afraid of a circle of shadow ghosts in the distance, but because the little girl is standing behind it, and it can't just leave.

"I thought you'd run away a little farther."

Mu You and Lin Xue also walked out from the rear at this time.

Mu You looked at the person in front of him who was sealed in the cylinder, it was a bald short and fat middle-aged man, although his appearance had changed, he was very sure that this guy was the person behind the curtain who had escaped from Sky City before, and it was just one of his 'skin' images in front of him.

"It's just a matter of winning and losing, this time I'm losing, and there's no point in escaping. It's just that I didn't expect that you would have the power to suppress the shadow god......" The middle-aged man in the device looked at the three people in the distance and spoke.

Lin Xue sounded the death knell twice before, detonating the extremely outrageous sin value on his body, although most of the curse effect was borne by the shadow god, but the shadow god died before the sin value reached zero, causing the residual curse power to still act on him.

The power of that curse can even suppress the level of the Shadow God, let alone ordinary people.

He couldn't escape, because at this moment, his level had been directly reduced to the lowest level, and his attributes had all been reduced to the lowest point, if he hadn't drilled into the device in front of him that could continue to relieve the pain, he would have been cursed and suppressed to death until his life span was exhausted and completely disappeared.

"It's you!"

Ye Rumeng seemed to recognize something at this time, and suddenly pointed to the middle-aged man in the device in front of him and shouted: "I remember, the villain who kidnapped me is you!" Where's my sister? ”

The middle-aged man ignored her shouting, but looked at Mu You's feet.

In his shadow, the shadow pom-pom was quietly floating out of his half-head, secretly observing the world around him.

"It seems that Shadow Pompom has chosen you as its new host." The middle-aged man said.

"Yes." Mu You nodded.

"Then you have to be careful, when it grows up, it will have the power to fight the host, and you should be careful that it will suffer the same fate as me in the future." The middle-aged man sneered.

"If you don't feed it, how can it be eaten back? After all, it's not that you covet the power of God? led to the result of being counterattacked. Mu You.

Low-level shadow pompoms obviously do not have the ability to resist their hosts, but as their level increases, their abilities will continue to increase, and their wisdom will gradually increase, until they have self-awareness, and there will be the possibility of backlash. Therefore, the safest thing to do is not to feed it any shadows, or only a limited number of shadows, and keep it at a lower level when used as a support pet.

"You're right, I thought the same thing when I first got the Shadow Pom-pom more than a thousand years ago, however, how many people can bear not to cultivate it when they get something like the Shadow Pom-pom that can grow infinitely?"

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "At that time, I was just an ordinary fisherman in the Cook Islands, without any qualifications to practice magic, destined to live by fishing all my life, living at the bottom of society on the edge of life every day. ”

"When I knew that this was a shadow of God, I was stunned, and I was sincerely afraid every day, for fear that God's consciousness would be revived, and a low-level pariah like me would have no power to resist God."

"But as time went on, I gradually found that this thing did not attack me, but provided me with a variety of magical abilities, and I thought that I could use its abilities to improve my life, and I began to try to steal the shadows of others, carefully feed it, and gain more power......"

"Half a year later, I became the richest man in the entire Cook Islands, but I was not satisfied with that, I became fascinated by the study of the power of God. In the name of 'God', I formed the Society of the Dead, gathered a large number of congregants, and snatched more and more people's shadows more and more recklessly...... It turns out that there is no limit to human greed, and by the time I realized that something was wrong, it was too late. ”

"The shadow pom-pom that grew up gradually got out of my control, and at first it often broke away from my shadow, ran out and actively devoured the shadows of others, grew up automatically, and grew faster and faster."

"And as the level of the Shadow Pompom increases, the consciousness of the Shadow God gradually awakens, and he begins to try to resist my orders and try to take the initiative."

"I was finally scared, and at the same time I understood the God's plot: it turned out that this was the way the Shadow God resurrected itself, and I was just a pawn, a tool to help it resurrect, and even without me, someone else would play this role. I was horrified and angry because I needed a shadow that I could fully control, not a puppet who could become a shadow. ”

"In order to stop it, I built this underground factory and sealed myself in the depths of this underground, and all the people who approach me are usually shadowless people, making it difficult for the shadow god to find a shadow to swallow nearby, so as to slow down its growth as much as possible."

"I threatened it with self-destruction and let it fall into a deep sleep, it was not strong enough at that time, so it could only agree and enter a long deep sleep, but what I didn't expect was that even in deep sleep, it could still automatically absorb the shadows of the living people in the entire archipelago to grow secretly."

"While it was sleeping, I began to work on how to suppress the shadow pom-poms. It's true that the Shadow Pom-pom is the nemesis of the shadow creatures, but its abilities are only ineffective against self-aware Shadow Ghosts, so by creating a self-aware Shadow Ghost and fusing it into my main shadow, you can completely suppress the Shadow Pom-pom through this Shadow Ghost. ”

"However, Shadow Ghost is a collection of negative emotions, and it is theoretically impossible to be self-aware, but I don't believe in evil, because since Shadow Pom-pom's description mentions the term 'self-aware Shadow Ghost', then such a thing must exist. After a long period of research, I finally found a way to create conscious shadow ghosts: soul harmony! ”

"In the same plane, the souls of all newborn humans are unique, and there is no possibility of homophony, but in the two planes, there is no such limitation."

"If you look for the person with the most harmonious soul in the two worlds, by sinking them into the shadows together, there is a certain probability that you will be able to spawn a normal shadow ghost and a controllable shadow ghost that can be possessed at the same time. If the souls of two people are compatible enough, and the ordinary shadow ghost generated is strong enough, when it is close to the limit strength of the shadow ghost, there is a chance to give birth to self-consciousness, and the other controllable shadow ghost will become a 'starter', so that the corresponding ordinary shadow ghost completely obeys my orders. ”

"Since then, I've been searching for soul aligners in both worlds, but the process hasn't been easy, the success rate of creating shadow ghosts is much lower than I expected, it's even harder to create the perfect shadow ghosts, and the actions in the Forgotten Lands need to be done carefully. It took me four full years to finally make my first perfect piece! ”

"Number 14?" Mu You asked.

"Yes." The middle-aged man's eyes looked at the little girl beside Mu You with some fanatical eyes.

"14th, you were originally an experimental subject that I was not optimistic about, and from the first day you were caught, you showed an intellect beyond ordinary people, and your mental maturity was comparable to that of an adult. Generally speaking, such subjects are not qualified, because previous research has shown that one of the two sides of the soul must be a simple-minded child, and the purer the better. ”

"What I didn't expect was that the child I brought to you later actually made such a big change in you! This is the first time that the souls of the two of you are in perfect tune. ”

"What are you talking about? Mianmian is my sister, where the hell did you hide her? Ye Rumeng looked at the middle-aged man with some doubts, the other party was obviously talking to her, but he seemed to mistake her for her sister.

The middle-aged man ignored her question, and continued to stare at the little girl and said, "It was only then that I realized your special ...... In other words, it's not you who is special, it's another child, the girl named 'Mengmeng'. ”

"I'm the ...... Mengmeng" Ye Rumeng couldn't help but correct again.

“…… Because, the previous thirteen successful records, all of them were children from the Star Spirit Realm who chose to endure the pain and save the children from the Forgotten Lands, but you are the only group, and the other way around......" The middle-aged man said to himself.

"So what the hell are you talking about, I'm the ......"

Ye Rumeng wanted to refute, but suddenly felt that his shoulder was covered by a hand.

Ye Rumeng looked back, and it was Mu You who stopped her.

Mu You sighed and shook his head at her: "It won't help to continue to escape, it's time to remember......"

"Come to think of it...... What? Ye Ru looked at him puzzled.

"There's no one you need to save here...... Sleep. ”

Mu You said, looking down at the shadow at her feet.

Ye Rumeng also subconsciously followed and looked over, and this time she was stunned.

The shadow projected on the ground was no longer her appearance, but a taller girl with long straight hair and a headband on her head.
