  Chapter 373 Shadow God's Piece

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

   This is the storage backpack he specially keeps when entering the door, and it can only be opened in the astral world.

  At this moment, there was a 'knock on the door' sound from inside the backpack.

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

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

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

   Mu You was taken aback for a moment: "How do you know?"

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

   The little girl crawled out of the backpack as she spoke, and looked at the surrounding environment suspiciously: "This place... feels so familiar, I seem to have been here before..."

The little girl kept walking around while talking, observing everything nearby, and soon became more and more sure of this point, turning her head to look at Mu You in surprise: "Yes, it is here, the last time I saw my sister is here... I Remember, my sister and I were locked up here before... just in front!" The little girl suddenly pointed to the darkness connected to the front of the high platform.

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

  However, when she turned her head, she found that Mu You was looking at her feet with a somewhat dazed expression.

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

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

"Oh... come with me, it's right here!" The little girl didn't doubt that he was there, she took out a flashlight from somewhere, shone it into the darkness ahead, and rushed in directly, while she turned her head and waved, signaling the two to follow quickly , the shadow stretched a long line 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 in surprise.

   Mu You shook his head helplessly at her, and Lin Xue quickly realized what was going on, and the two followed silently without asking any more questions.

In the Gu pool below, the shadow ghost who was frantically patting bugs 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 ahead, he let out a low cry, and then Ignoring the bugs, he hurriedly climbed up to the high platform and chased after the three of them.

  Ye Rumeng ran into the darkness alone, trotted through the dark path with ease, and came to a hospital floor.

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

   "That's right, it's here..."

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

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

  The little girl's face was full of joy, and she rushed over impatiently, and pushed open the door.

   "Sister, I'm here to save..."

  The sound stopped abruptly.

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

   Instead, it has become an empty ruin. The earthen tiles disintegrated, glass fragments are scattered all over the ground, and all objects are covered with dust, obviously abandoned for a long time.

  The little girl stared blankly at this scene, unable to recover for a while.

   If my sister is not here, where is she?

"Roar!"

  At this time, there was a roaring sound next to him.

Ye Rumeng subconsciously turned her head to look. On the other side of this corner corridor, a shadow ghost more than three meters tall was standing in front of her. When she saw the living person here, she immediately exuded a strong killing intent. .

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

"ah!"

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

  The shadow ghost approached in an instant, waving its sharp claws, its eyes were scarlet, its extremely oppressive height and monster-like figure made Ye Rumeng instinctively close her eyes.

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

Immediately afterwards, an even bigger black shadow rushed quickly behind the little girl, coming first, passing the little girl, and directly threw the shadow ghost who was about to attack to the ground, claw by claw, and the extremely angry shadow ghost Body torn.

This ordinary shadow ghost is obviously not the opponent of the box shadow ghost. With the blessing of the box shadow ghost's anger, the ordinary shadow ghost under him was soon torn into pieces by it, leaving only a wriggling mass in place. Shadow residue.

  The little girl stared blankly at the shadow ghost guarding in front of her, but she didn't have time to speak, because there were already more intensive low growls in front of her.

   "You ended up back here, number 14..."

Both the little girl and the shadow ghost looked up, and saw a transparent cylindrical device at the end of the corridor in front of them, which was filled with some kind of liquid. At this time, a person was soaking in the device. Wearing a respirator, the body is filled with various hoses.

And outside the cylindrical device, there are a large number of shadow ghosts densely scattered, at least hundreds of them, each shadow ghost is bound by a black chain, and the other end of the chain is all connected to the device , like a row of **** vicious dogs, guarding the center device all around.

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

   When the shadow ghost saw the figure appearing in the distance, he became even more furious, but he didn't lose his mind and rushed over.

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

   "I thought you would escape further."

   Mu You and Lin Xue also came out from behind at this time.

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

"It's just a winner and a loser. I lost this time, and it's meaningless to run away. I just 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 said .

Lin Xue rang the death knell twice before, detonating the extremely outrageous sin value on him. Although most of the curse effects were absorbed by the shadow god, the shadow **** died before the sin value returned to zero, resulting in residual The power of the curse still works on him.

  That cursed power can suppress even the level of 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 all his attributes had also been reduced to the lowest point. If he hadn't gotten into the device in front of him in time that could continuously relieve pain, he would be constantly cursed Suppress and die until the life span is exhausted and disappears completely.

"It's you!"

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

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

  In his shadow, Shadow Pompom is quietly floating half of its head, secretly observing the surrounding world.

   "It seems that the 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 attack the host. Be careful that it will end up like me in the future." The middle-aged man sneered.

   "If you don't feed it, how can it be backbited? After all, is it because you covet the power of God? That led to the result of backbiting." Mu You said.

  Low-level shadow pompoms obviously do not have the ability to resist the host, but as the level increases, its ability and wisdom will gradually increase, until it has self-awareness, and there will be a possibility of backlash. Therefore, the safest way is not to feed it any shadows, or only feed limited shadows, keep it at a low level, and use it as an auxiliary pet.

"You're right. When I first got a shadow pompom more than a thousand years ago, I thought the same way. However, how many people can endure something like a shadow pompom that can grow infinitely?" Do you want to cultivate it or not?"

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said: "At that time, I was just an ordinary fisherman on the Cook Islands, without any qualifications to practice magic, and I was doomed to make a living by fishing for the rest of my life. By coincidence, I picked up a shadow pompom and became its host."

   "When I knew it was the shadow of a god, I was stunned and fearful every day, for fear that the consciousness of God would be revived. A low-level scum like me has no power to resist God."

"But as time went by, I gradually discovered that this thing didn't show signs of attacking me. Instead, it provided me with a variety of magical abilities. I thought that I could use its abilities to improve my life. I began to try to steal other people's shadows. Feed it carefully to gain more power..."

"After half a year, I became the richest person in the entire Cook Islands, but I was no longer satisfied with this. I became obsessed with studying the power of God. In the name of 'God', I formed the Undead Society and gathered a large number of teachers. The crowd is getting more and more unbridled to **** the shadows of more people... Facts have proved that human greed has no limit, and by the time I realize something is wrong, it is already too late."

  "The growing shadow pompom gradually escaped my control, and began to escape from my shadow from time to time, running out to actively devour other people's shadows, growing automatically, and growing faster and faster."

   "As the level of the shadow pompom increases, the consciousness of the shadow **** gradually awakens, and he begins to try to resist my orders and take the initiative."

"At that time, I was finally afraid, and at the same time, I understood God's conspiracy: It turns out that this is the way of Shadow God's self-resurrection, and I am just a pawn, a tool to help it resurrect. Even without me, there will be other people acting as this character. I was terrified and angry because what I needed was a shadow that I could fully control, not be a puppet of the shadow.”

"In order to stop it, I built this underground factory and sealed myself in the depths of the ground. Usually, all the people who approach me are people without shadows, making it difficult for Shadow God to find a devourable shadow nearby. , so as to slow down its growth rate 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 entered a long deep sleep. But what I didn't expect was that even in the deep sleep, it still It can automatically absorb the shadows of living people in the entire archipelago to grow secretly."

"While it was sleeping, I began to study the method of suppressing the shadow pompom. It is true that the shadow pompom is the nemesis of shadow creatures, but its ability is only ineffective against shadow ghosts with self-awareness. Therefore, as long as one is created A shadow ghost with self-awareness, if I fuse it into my main shadow, I can use this shadow ghost to completely suppress the shadow pompom."

"However, shadow ghosts are a collection of negative emotions, and it is theoretically impossible to produce self-awareness, but I don't believe in evil, because since the word 'shadow ghost with self-awareness' is mentioned in the description of the shadow pompom, then this If there is such a thing, it must exist. After a long study, I finally found a way to create a conscious shadow ghost: soul attunement!"

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

"Find the person whose soul is the most coherent in the two worlds. By sinking them into the shadow together, there is a certain probability that a normal shadow ghost and a controllable shadow ghost that can be possessed can be generated at the same time. If the two The personal soul is compatible enough, and the generated ordinary shadow ghost is strong enough. When it is close to the ultimate strength of the shadow ghost, there is a chance to be born with self-awareness, and the other controllable shadow ghost will become a 'starter', allowing the corresponding ordinary shadow ghost The ghost completely obeys me."

"Since then, I have been constantly looking for soul coherent souls in the two worlds, but this process is not easy. The success rate of creating shadow ghosts is much lower than I imagined, and it is even more difficult to create a perfect shadow ghost Besides, the actions in the Forgotten Land also need to be careful. It took me four full years to finally create the first perfect work!"

   "Number 14?" Mu You asked.

   "Yes." The middle-aged man looked at the little girl next to Mu You with some enthusiasm in his eyes.

"Number 14, you were originally an experimental subject that I was not optimistic about. From the first day you were arrested, you showed a sense beyond ordinary people, and your mental maturity is comparable to that of an adult. Generally speaking, such The experimental subject is not qualified, because the previous research process has shown that the two sides of the soul coherence, one of them must be a child with a pure mind, the purer the better."

   "What I didn't expect was that the child that was brought to you later changed you so much! It's the first time that the souls of the two of you are completely in tune."

"What are you talking about? Mianmian is my sister. Where 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 mistook her for sister.

But the middle-aged man ignored her question, continued to stare at the little girl and said, "It was also at that time that I realized that you are special...or in other words, it is not you who are special, but another child named 'Mengmeng' ' girl."

   "I am Mengmeng..." Ye Rumeng couldn't help correcting again.

"...Because, in the previous thirteen successful records, all the children from the Astral Realm chose to endure the pain and save the children from the Forgotten Land, but you are the only group who did the opposite..." The middle-aged man thought to himself opening.

   "So what the **** are you talking about, it's obviously me..."

  Ye Rumeng wanted to refute, but suddenly felt a hand covering her shoulder.

  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 if you continue to escape, it's time to think back..."

   "Remember... what?" Ye Rumeng looked at him puzzled.

   "Here, there is no one you need to save... Mianmian."

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

  Ye Rumeng also followed subconsciously to look at the past, and was immediately stunned.

  The shadow projected on the ground no longer looked like her at some point, but a taller girl with straight long hair and a headband.
