Chapter 3: The Shadow Mage

At night, the base of the victory team headquarters.

"Steel plate masked man? Urban legend? ”

Xincheng, who was on duty, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ye Rui beside him with a puzzled expression.

"When did that guy start listening to such rumors?"

Scratching the back of his head in the same distress, Ye Rui expressed the same confusion.

"I don't know, anyway, the news he gave me this morning is, let me pay attention to whether there will be that kind of so-called 'steel plate masked man' tonight."

Although he didn't believe in that kind of gratuitous urban legends, Ye Rui's professionalism made him still listen to the words of the Great Ancient Capital.

It's just that when he thinks of the ghost-like nature of the "Steel Plate Kamene", Ye Rui sincerely hopes that this urban legend is fake.

Yes, Ye Rui, a genius boy who has always believed in science, is actually an adolescent boy who is very afraid of ghosts in his bones.

Not to mention the weird urban legend of "Steel Plate Masked Man", Ye Rui doesn't even dare to watch horror movies alone on weekdays.

"That guy Dagu is really, he would let you investigate this kind of thing......"

Shaking his head in surprise, Xincheng immediately stared at Ye Rui with a strange expression and teased.

"Has he forgotten that you have always been afraid of ghosts?"

In an instant, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Ye Rui immediately stood up and retorted.

"Who said I was afraid of ghosts?"

"I'm just the most basic skepticism about that kind of unscientific thing!"

"And you're embarrassed to say that the last time we went to a haunted house together, weren't you so scared that you turned pale?"

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Steel Plate Kamen Man...... Does that unscientific thing really exist? ”

Walking under the dark city with Jia'er, Kazuhajiro's shadow suddenly rose and made a voice similar to that of a human.

"Anyone can say this, but you are the only one who sounds outrageous."

glared at his shadow angrily, and Ge Ye Jiro clearly saw Jia'er smiling on the side.

"If you want to say unscientific things, you are the most unscientific existence!"

"It's obviously a shadow, but it's able to speak, and even move freely out of its body."

Ever since Young Master Ayan successfully solved the demolition problem and joined Sixth Avenue, it has become a well-known old urchin.

Under the same spirit, Young Master Ayan naturally became friends with Ge Ye Jiro.

Dare to do anything, dare to teach anything......

In this case, Ge Ye Jiro almost had any threshold to learn Young Master Ayayan's mastery at the bottom of the box-Shadow Mage.

Activate your own shadow into an independent individual, and put your own magical spells on this shadow's body.

Thus, a shadow mage was born that belonged only to Kazuha Jiro.

However, unlike Young Master Ayan's Obik, Kazuha Jiro's Shadow Mage is not only a chatterbox, but also very fond of questioning his own decisions.

Especially in front of Jia'er, Ge Ye Jiro's shadow mage doesn't give face to the body at all, and likes to expose the shortcomings of the body in various ways.

Sometimes Ge Ye Jiro wonders if this shadow mage is his own shadow mage or Jia'er's shadow mage.

"Uncle Lu said that everything that can be understood in this world can be turned into the category of 'science'."

"Although my existence is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, it is a very scientific existence in our knowledge system."

"On the contrary, it is the 'steel plate masked man' that you hearsay, which is impossible to exist from any point of view."

Obviously, Lu Xuan's words were highly respected, and the Shadow Mage continued to refute Ge Ye Jiro as always.

"Shut up! If you talk more, I won't take you out next time! ”

Ge Ye Jiro, who couldn't debate, was directly annoyed, and this scene made Jia'er laugh even more happily.

No matter how many times I saw it, Jia'er found it very interesting.

After all, in this world, the only person in this world who can make the demon king of the mixed world like Ge Ye Jiro so deflated, except for the Lady of the Nine-Tails, is his own shadow mage.

"Alas! My aunt, don't laugh at this time! ”

Covering his head with a headache, Ge Ye Jiro suddenly regretted this action.

In order to prove to Dagu that the "Steel Plate Kamen Man" is real, the two teammates who were brought in were dragged behind.

If only Young Master Ayan were here, it would definitely be interested in this kind of thing.

"Actually...... I think Big Brother is right......"

Finally stopping the laughter, Jia'er said in a childish and righteous voice.

"Investigating the 'Steel Plate Masked Man' is a matter for adults, and our actions will only add trouble to them."

"Besides, if the 'Steel Plate Masquerade' didn't hurt anyone, why did we have to reveal their details?"

Tilting her head slightly, Jia'er stared at Kazuha Jiro with a serious but cute look.

"I admit that what you say does make a lot of sense."

Spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, Ge Ye Jiro, who had long been accustomed to Jia'er's character, suddenly changed his tone and said in a low voice.

"However, don't you want Dagu to be impressed by you?"

Maybe it's because of her own experience, or maybe it's the influence of Dagu and Shaji on her......

Jia'er is like a little adult at a young age, thinking about others in everything, and trying not to make trouble for others as much as possible.

This kind of personality, which is diametrically opposed to Kazuha Jiro, once made people think that it was an incredible thing for these two little guys to become friends.

But only Kazuha Jiro knows that all this is just a façade.

The well-behaved and mature behavior shown by Jia'er is actually a fear of being abandoned by others, so she tries to cater to their appearance.

The real Jia'er is, in essence, a lawless existence like Katsuba Jiro.

Because Kazuha Jiro never believed that a human who could control the dark power so skillfully would be an innocent little girl.

"Think about it, once we really find the truth about the 'Steel Plate Masquerade', will they be impressed by us?"

"Also, haven't you always wanted to go to Uncle Lu's laboratory?"

"If we confirm the existence of the 'Steel Plate Masked Man', maybe Uncle Lu will really take you to his laboratory?"

Obviously using a coaxing tone to coax a child, but Jia'er was surprisingly silent.

As Kazuha Jiro predicted, in the depths of Jia'er's heart, there has always been a violent urge to break the established order.

Jia'er knew that this was not good, and she also knew that once she released this impulse, she would no longer be herself.

Jia'er likes Lu Xuan, Da Gu, Sha Ji, Lady Nine-Tails, and everything on Sixth Avenue at the moment.

So she is willing to suppress the other her hidden in her heart for the sake of these people.
