Chapter 6: Shadows and Copies Reopened
The hideous shadow claws crawled silently towards Chen Mo's neck like wriggling insects.
Seeing that the distance between the two was only a few centimeters, a terrifying change suddenly occurred on Chen Mo's body!
"Bang!"
A dull voice sounded, and Chen Mo's neck actually burst open!
Countless black tentacles poured out, as if they had been suppressed for a long time and finally released.
This burst is terrifyingly strong and astonishingly fast.
In an instant, Chen Mo's rental house was all covered!
Everything in the room was flooded with black, leaving no gaps.
Naturally, that sneaky shadow claw couldn't escape.
The tentacles covering the Shadow Claws squirmed like a cheek raiser chewing on food.
"Ah!!h
At the same time, a terrible scream sounded under Chen Mo's bed.
A large mass of shadows poured out, and fled in a hurry.
But countless tentacles pierced into it, tearing off shadows and devouring them frantically.
Eventually, only a shadow the size of a water drop escaped through the crack in the door.
The whole process is extremely fast, and it only adds up to a second or two.
……
"Hmm~ What's the sound?"
Chen Mo was originally exercising a corpse puppet in another world, but after noticing that something was wrong, his consciousness traveled back.
In a millisecond before his eyes, all the black tentacles retreated into his body like lightning.
It's fast, it's like it's being pumped.
Chen Mo rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed.
He looked around and found nothing out of the ordinary.
The whole rental house is exactly the same as before, not even the stains on the table have changed.
But the moment he returned, he seemed to hear a scream.
Other than that......
Chen Mo touched his stomach, faintly feeling full.
But it's very faint, and I don't know if it's an illusion.
"Did I hear me wrong? Or is it a voice from someone else's house? ”
Chen Mo frowned slightly.
If it was half a month ago, he would definitely lie down and continue to sleep when he encountered this kind of thing.
I feel that I either heard it wrong, or someone else's voice.
But Chen Mo encountered too many strange things at this time, and he subconsciously became vigilant.
In short, it is better to believe what it has than not to believe it.
"There won't be any more monsters coming to my trouble, will they? Am I really being targeted? ”
"But I haven't had a grudge against anyone in the past twenty years?"
Chen Mo was a little depressed, and he forced his body to check it.
But as soon as he got up, he was surprised to find that he had only slept for a while, and his injuries had recovered a lot!
It made him sure that something had happened while he was asleep.
It's a pity that there is no monitoring in the house, otherwise it can be called out to see.
Chen Mo checked around the rental house and didn't find anything unusual.
So I had to lie back in bed.
Only this time he didn't go to another world, but closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, guarding against possible dangers.
……
The other side.
In a remote alley, a shadow was cowering motionless in a corner.
The weird thing is, there's nothing around!
It's like a graffiti, quietly clinging to the wall.
Suddenly, the shadow seemed to have discovered something, and quickly drifted towards the mouth of the alley.
And in the process, he gradually transformed, becoming a man in a black trench coat.
After coming to the mouth of the alley, the man's face changed drastically.
I saw a person dressed like him at his feet, but the difference was that he exuded a terrible death breath.
"Target...... The goal is questionable...... Problem ......"
He ...... Very...... It's horrible......"
He ...... Eat ......"
The man on the ground clung to his companion's trouser leg, trying to say something with all his might.
But before he could finish speaking, a black tentacle suddenly drilled out of his eye socket, and shot into his companion's body with a lightning speed that covered his ears.
"Ah!!h
In the next second, a terrible scream sounded in the deserted alley.
At this time, Chen Mo, who was lying on the bed and pretending to sleep, touched his stomach with a strange expression.
"It's strange, why somehow I feel a little satiety inexplicably, it seems to be really an illusion."
"I'm a little hungry, so let's get up and have a supper."
This extremely faint feeling of satiety instead aroused Chen Mo's hunger.
He braced himself up and prepared to go to the kitchen to finish cooking noodles to fill his stomach.
……
Another hour passed, and it was getting darker.
Three strange black shadows suddenly appeared in front of the remote alley.
They stood in front of the two corpses, as if observing something.
"They're all dead, and they're not weird."
"Hell, they're gone, there's not a single thing left!"
"No wonder there's no weirdness, it's not even weird."
"There was no trace of a shadow around, it was as if it had disappeared out of thin air."
"Could it have something to do with that goal? But he's just an ordinary person. ”
"It's very unlikely, but let's observe it first, this situation is so weird that it makes me feel a strong sense of unease!"
"I feel that way too......"
"Evacuate first, it may not be safe here."
The muffled conversation ended, and the three black shadows disappeared in an instant.
The two corpses at the mouth of the alley were also engulfed in shadows and disappeared without a trace.
Not to mention the blood, not even a single hair was left.
As if nothing had happened.
※※※※※※
Ten days passed in a flash.
Chen Mo's injuries have almost recovered, and he has not encountered any strange or strange things.
These days, he is recuperating from his injuries and exercising corpse puppets, and his life is also fulfilling.
During this period, Xu Qingqing came to see Chen Mo several times and cooked him several sumptuous lunches.
This made Chen Mo's mood a lot better.
However, Xu Qingqing seems to be quite busy, and every time he comes, he is in a hurry.
In addition, Chen Mo always felt that some changes had occurred in his body, but he couldn't find what it was.
It made him feel strange and at the same time a little relaxed.
He didn't want to be completely unhuman.
……
this day.
Chen Mo, who was training corpse puppets in another world, felt a familiar aura in his heart.
It's Liu Manyun!
Chen Mo immediately realized that Liu Manyun was about to come to this world again.
He immediately controlled the corpse puppet and quickly ran towards the location he sensed.
After these days of training, the corpse puppet has been able to move freely.
And with a little power from the Tai Sui Yin God, he has become far more powerful than ordinary people.
In addition, Chen Mo sensed Liu Manyun's aura in advance, and it was not far from the broken temple.
So it's just in time.
After Chen Mo arrived at the target location, Liu Manyun's breath became clearer and clearer.
Two seconds later, the surrounding space fluctuated.
Five figures appeared out of thin air.
One of them is Liu Manyun.
Chen Mo happened to be standing in the middle of the crowd, and counting him, there were six people.
If he were human too.
……
"Where is this? Who are you? ”
As soon as Liu Manyun stood firm, he heard a panicked voice.
Turning his head, he saw that it was a tall, ordinary-looking uncle who spoke.
The face is very kind, and he is an honest person at first glance.
But for some reason, it always gave Liu Manyun a familiar feeling.
But she obviously didn't know this person.
Without waiting for Liu Manyun to think more, a young man with a steady face stood up.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, there are actually six players, it seems that this mission is not easy!"
"Is there a newcomer besides the uncle who just spoke? Let me explain to you the current situation. ”
……
The number of players has quietly increased by one.
