Chapter 487: Non-existent employees

Chapter 487 After a short conversation between the non-existent employees, the two fell silent again.

"By the way, how did you make sure that Confusion wasn't a hidden artifact in the City Lord's Building?" Xiao Ye suddenly frowned and asked.

This matter is indeed a bit strange, and he didn't go to the city lord building because of the chaos, how did he determine this matter?

Could it be that he knows the delusion? Or maybe it's something else. After Xiao Ye finished asking, he quietly waited for Lichao to answer.

After listening to this question, he looked at the teacup in his hand and fell into deep thought, as if he was remembering something, and only after a long time did he speak slowly.

"Who hasn't had a friend or two after living for so long."

"That's right." Xiao Ye nodded. This answer is perfectly fine.

"So be it, there's something in contact." Xiao Ye got up and prepared to leave. Seeing Xiao Ye get up and leave, Lichao suddenly said, "There are only two days left, you have to hurry." Xiao Ye stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Got it!"

"And pay more attention to yourself." Lichao added an inexplicable sentence. …… There are only two days left, and the time is already very tight, especially today with no gains at all.

"Do you want to just go in?" Xiao Ye walked on the way back and fell into deep thought. According to the current situation, it was impossible for him to figure out what the artifact in the city lord's building was in two days.

"Tick, tick!" Suddenly, a strange sound sounded in the alley, like the sound of raindrops falling on the ground.

Xiao Ye woke up from his contemplation and looked around vigilantly. The experience of these two days made him deeply understand that this Yellow Spring is not as simple as he imagined.

"Tick, tick." The voice still didn't stop, ringing in Xiao Ye's ears like a magic spell.

Right. Left. Front. Behind. For a moment, Xiao Ye couldn't tell where the voice came from, as if there was any direction.

Xiao Ye sniffed his nose and smelled a strange smell.

"It's like demonic power, but it's not pure, it's strange!" Xiao Ye couldn't help but mutter. Looking at the dim lights around him, Xiao Ye's vision turned to his own shadow.

That strange smell emanates from one's own shadow. When did something else mix in your shadow?

After being silent for a while, Xiao Ye didn't care about the thing, and walked straight towards the depths of the alley.

"Are you sure I can't find it, that's why it's so brazenly in my shadow?" Xiao Ye glanced at his shadow, under the light, it was constantly changing shape, presumably the thing inside was very active.

Back at Wang Hao's home, Xiao Ye didn't turn on the light, sitting in the dark, in the dark, because there was no light, his shadow did not appear.

There was no shadow, and the strange smell was gone.

"What the hell is this?"

"When did it target me?" Xiao Ye recalled the conversation with Lichao.

"Pay more attention to yourself?" When he left, he said such an inexplicable sentence, and he didn't care about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, maybe it means something abnormal in himself.

So he just noticed the anomaly of his shadow, but he didn't tell himself.

"Why?" Xiao Ye was puzzled. Why didn't he tell himself directly, but in this indirect way.

Between contemplation, Xiao Ye recalled a detail again. In the messy room, when he was talking to Xiao Ye, he was sitting in a strange position, with the light behind him, so the light could not cast a shadow on him.

So the creatures in the shadow are contagious, can they spread between different individuals through the shadow?

Lichao knew this, so he didn't show his shadow. In this way, Xiao Ye sat in the dark all night.

He didn't try to dispel the weirdness in the shadow, Xiao Ye wouldn't do it until he figured out its origin, maybe this thing was also a clue.

After dawn, Xiao Ye walked out of the door, glanced at his shadow, and found that there was no longer that kind of breath, presumably this kind of thing would not appear in the daytime.

After buying breakfast, Xiao Ye came to the city lord building, and after testing, he entered the monitoring room.

"What about people?" Xiao Ye looked at the empty monitoring room and frowned, at this point in time, Brother Li should have been sitting here a long time ago waiting for him to deliver breakfast.

But there is no one today. This may be an ordinary trivial matter, after all, Brother Li may be late, or he can't come because of something, or he doesn't plan to come.

"Employee Li Duo's life characteristics disappeared, and the disappearance time was a minute ago!" Just when Xiao Ye was wondering, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the monitoring room.

"Employee Wang Hao, please immediately go to the location of employee Li Duo and recover all the things related to the city lord building, the specific location has been sent to your employee ID card through the terminal." Xiao Ye took out the employee ID card and fiddled with it, only then did he realize that this employee ID card, which looked very simple on the surface, was actually a special tool similar to a mobile phone.

A light curtain was projected from the top of the employee ID card, and the light curtain was a map, with a red dot and a green dot on the map.

The green dot indicates Xiao Ye's location, while the red dot should be Li Duo's location if he is not mistaken.

"Employee Wang Hao, please immediately go to the location of employee Li Duo and recover all the things related to the city lord building, the specific location has been sent to your employee ID card through the terminal." In contemplation, the cold voice sounded again to urge Xiao Ye.

"Do you want to go?" Xiao Ye hesitated.

"Warning, employee Wang Hao, please obey the order, immediately go to the location of employee Li Duo, and recover all things related to the city lord building." Xiao Ye's face changed, this voice actually ordered him, what did he think of him?

Or is the relationship between the employees here and the city lord building not as simple as he imagined?

After hesitating for a second or two, Xiao Ye noted down Li Duo's location, then put away the employee card and left the city lord building.

According to the regulations, employees are not allowed to leave the city main building during work, but today Xiao Ye walked to the gate and no one came to stop him.

Xiao Ye glanced back at the City Lord Building and stared at it for a long time. For some reason, he always felt like something was staring at him in the building.

…… Xiao Ye came to the location where Li Duo's body was, but found that there were already people here.

"The police or what?" Xiao Ye saw that the alley had been blocked, and it was forbidden for people to approach it.

In this case, he will definitely not be able to enter and get his things back. It seems that there is no chance, Xiao Ye looked at it for a while, and found that someone had already gone in to pack up his things, presumably there would be little left related to this matter for a while.

"Employee Wang Hao, please leave the place of the incident immediately." Just as Xiao Ye was pondering, the employee ID card appeared in the prompt again.

Xiao Ye glanced around and found that this voice seemed to be known only to him. It's weird! Xiao Ye frowned, turned around and left here.

After returning to the city lord building, everything was no different from usual, the only difference was that the patrol person became Xiao Ye alone.

The employee ID card has also returned to normal, and there is no more prompt sounding. But there's something even stranger! Others don't seem to remember Li Duo as a person.

Xiao Ye took a sip while patrolling, but the security guard who was talking to him looked at him strangely.

"Who is Li Duo, there is no such person here at all!" Xiao Ye was silent for a moment, and said with a smile that he had misremembered.

Soon the day passed. This time, Xiao Ye did not go to look for Lichao, but returned directly to Wang Hao's home.

He felt that this matter was messy, and even if he knew, he wouldn't tell himself, and it was better to solve it himself.

After returning home, Xiao Ye turned on the lights and looked at his shadow. As he was on the road, he felt his shadow change.

"Do you come out on your own, or do I do it?" Xiao Ye stared at his shadow and slowly spoke. Under the light, the shadow distorted, and then returned to normal.

"Toast and don't eat and drink!" Xiao Ye frowned, and the Sword of All Things Guarding appeared in his hand.

[Item Name: Sword of Guarding All Things] [Type: Sword Weapon] [Quality: Mythology] [Origin: In ancient times, the Terran artifact forged by the ancient human race has the power to guard all things!

【Ability 1: Guard, guard everything!】 [Ability 2: Break the law, break all the law!] 【Ability 3: Immortal, indestructible!】

[Note: Non-Terrans cannot use this sword.] 【Conditions of use: Terran】【Bind: Xiao Ye】Looking at the shadow, Xiao Ye spoke again: "Give you another chance, will you come out by yourself or will I do it?" After a few seconds, the shadow still didn't move.

Xiao Ye lost his patience and slammed the Sword of the Guardian of All Things into his shadow. Zizizizi!

A puff of black smoke came out of the shadows, and a miserable scream sounded in Xiao Ye's ears. The Sword of the Guardian of Everything plunged through the shadows into the ground.

Xiao Ye stood up and let his shadow get out of place, but under the sword of the Guardian of All Things, there was a black shadow that kept twisting.

It seemed to want to escape, but it was frozen in place by the Sword of Guardianship of Everything, and the power of the Sword of Guardianship was not something it could break free.

"What the hell is this?" Xiao Ye looked at this black mass and felt a demonic power from it.

His previous feeling was not wrong, this thing definitely has something to do with demons. It's just that although this thing is weird, Xiao Ye can feel that it is very weak, hundreds of times weaker than real demons.

This kind of thing is more like an existence that has been integrated with the power of demons. After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ye stretched out his hand to the black shadow.
