Chapter 2415: Creatures Hiding in the Shadows

In the silent corridor, Angel walked in one direction with firm steps.

"Are we going to find that strange fog?" Dangros hung back on the Blood Night Shelter and asked Angel curiously.

Angel: "No, let's go to Room 02 first."

"Are we not going to deal with that fog?" Dangros continued.

Angel did not answer, because he had already arrived at the target point.

This is still a long corridor. At first glance, there is nothing too surprising. The only difference from other places is that the nearest ceiling light is about ten meters away, which makes the light here a little dim. However, it is not so that the road is not clear. At most, the shadows of the walls on both sides are magnified.

If you don't pay attention, you may ignore this dim light area. But Angel, after observing the main control node, is very clear that the door of Room 02 is actually hidden in the shadow.

Angel took a step directly towards the shadow wall, and the whole person seemed to melt into the shadow and disappeared from the corridor.

After Angell disappeared, a star suddenly rose in a corner of the shadow area, quietly watching where Angell disappeared. From the frequency of its continuous flashing, it seemed to be unwilling to follow.

But in the end, this star did not move forward, but floated to the other side of the corridor and merged with other stars.

On the other side, after Angell walked into the shadow, the surrounding scene immediately changed, and what appeared in front of him was a corridor that was darker than the outside.

This corridor also has a light source, but compared to the bright ceiling lights outside, the light source here is the flame of the oil lamp in the black grid on the wall.

Although there is an oil lamp every ten meters, the flame of the oil lamp is relatively dim, and it can't completely illuminate the corridor. At most, it can serve as a guide.

"Why is it so dim here?" Dangros looked around and muttered.

"Maybe it's because the owner here is a shadow wizard." Angel replied as he walked forward.

Dangros has been following Angel for some time, and has learned some common sense about the wizard world. He also understands that shadow wizards actually refer to shadow wizards in the mysterious side. This kind of wizard is relatively rare and is also called shadow wizards.

"Shadow wizards like dim environments? Then why not just turn off the lights and make it completely dark?"

Angel glanced at Dangros and whispered: "Shadow is not darkness, it is the dark side of light. If there is no light, how can shadow exist?"

Dangros: "So there must be light for shadow wizards to exist?"

Angel: "Of course not. One is a concept, and the other is reality. The concept is a goal and a reason to pursue, and on the practical level, endless darkness is indeed more suitable for shadow wizards to live."

Dangros could understand it before, but after Angel explained, he became confused.

Just when Dangros wanted to ask further, they walked under the first oil lamp.

Dangros did not pay attention to the oil lamp, but was attracted by the shadow on the ground illuminated by the flame of the oil lamp.

Because the flames in the grid were not stable, they would sometimes surge and sometimes fall back when they were burning. This caused Angel's shadow to flicker constantly, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes long, sometimes short.

"Unpredictable, it is also the nature of shadows." Angel also saw the shadows jumping on the ground and said, "However, compared to unpredictable, the most well-known nature of shadows is hiding."

Angel continued to move forward, while Dangros continued to stare at the shadows on the ground until they left the light source and the shadows were immersed in darkness. Dangros raised his head.

It turned around and wanted to say something to Angel.

But before it could speak, it found that Angel suddenly stopped. But the footsteps did not stop, and another "Angel" was continuing to move forward.

Dangros saw this familiar scene and immediately understood what Angel wanted to do.

Before, whether it was encountering X0 or the later fire scale familiar, Dangros had experienced this situation several times. Angel's original body was watching leisurely beside him, and the illusion deceived the enemy.

Now that Angel has separated out the illusion again, it has explained everything.

Dangros stared at the shadow on the ground before, not because he was attracted by the sense of movement, but because he found some strange traces. Now, Angel has obviously discovered the existence hidden in the shadow.

Dangros silently watched "Angel" walking farther and farther. Although he has experienced this scene several times, every time it makes him sigh.

When he met X0, a little sound created an illusion. When fighting with the fire scale demon, he stepped forward casually and was divided into two bodies, the real and the illusion, in the firelight.

This time is also the same. In the changing light and shadow, the real body and the illusion seamlessly alternate.

This kind of illusion ability is simply impossible to defend against.

Even Dangros, who was on Angel, couldn't help but mourn for the enemy. Even if the opponent tried his best and finally broke through Angel's illusion, can you be sure that the new Angel is real?

While Dangros was sighing, "Angel" had already walked to the middle of the two light sources, which was the darkest place in this corridor.

When the darkness was at its peak, the being hiding in the shadows finally couldn't help but show its fangs.

The silent and treacherous smile restrained all the malice, turning the shadow into a sharp blade, silently stabbing towards Angel's vest.

If the opponent had not stabbed the illusion, then this could be called a good assassination.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

Dangros no longer needs to watch the following situation. When the self-righteous hideous hideousness hiding in the shadows encounters the false appearance that does not play by the rules, the result is naturally that the false appearance wins.

However, the process of winning is longer than that of X0 and the fire scale familiar.

The main reason is not the strength of the opponent, but that Angel did not kill it. Rather than killing the existence in the shadow, Angel wanted to catch it more, which led to a longer battle.

Of course, the opponent's strength is also quite good. Even if it has not reached the level of X0, it is not far behind. It is inferior to the formal wizard, but it is much stronger than the wizard apprentice.

About five minutes later, the existence in the shadow was finally whipped out of the entity by the phantom limbs. In the fire circle created by Dangros, it trembled and dared not move.

With the dazzling firelight of the fire circle, Dangros finally saw the true face of the opponent at this time.

It was a round black shadow curled up in the center of the fire circle. It looked like a black tide was surging inside it, but the whole thing maintained a relatively stable shape.

Because the whole body was black, and it could expand and stretch, or shrink and curl up, it was really impossible to tell its specific appearance. The only external features that could be seen were the large watery eyes that took up a large area, and the mouth that always kept a strange smile.

Dangros looked at it again and again, and hesitated: "It looks a bit like the creature described by the mascot in the mind band before, the one they met on the second floor..."

Angel: "Shadow Demon."

Dangros: "Yes, that's it!"

Dangros still remembered that Nice wailed for most of the day because the Shadow Demon was killed by Kant.

"Shadow Demon can assist in practicing the Shadow Technique, and its value is quite high." Angel explained casually. It was precisely because of this characteristic of the Shadow Demon that Angel tried his best to catch it instead of killing it.

Dangros nodded. Nice did say this in the mind band before. Nice also wanted to catch the Shadow Demon, but the Shadow Demon had already invaded the soul of the mascot, so Kant had no choice but to kill the Shadow Demon.

"This is the room of the Shadow Wizard, so the Shadow Demon on the second floor was really created by this Shadow Wizard?"

Angel: "It should be."

Dangros turned his head and looked at the Shadow Demon trembling in the fire circle: "Then should we torture it? Maybe it knows something about the Shadow Wizard?"

Angel shook his head.

The Shadow Demon is a low-intelligence life. Although it has the ability to communicate, their communication is through some kind of signal in the shadow. This is a secret that only the Shadow Wizard can master, and other people can't communicate with it at all.

So, torture? There is no such thing.

Angel took out a piece of self-luminous crystal and quickly melted it into a hollow sphere, like a round incandescent bulb.

Then, he controlled the phantom limb to wrap the exposed Shadow Demon, and then stuffed it into the glowing sphere.

Once the lid was closed, it was done.

To capture this kind of shadow creatures, you can just create a light ball to trap them. In a light ball without dead corners and shadows, they can only curl up in the center and dare not move at all.

After putting the ghost shadow demon into the bracelet, Angel continued to move forward.

He hoped to meet a few more ghost shadow demons. This kind of rare creature that is almost half extinct in the southern region and has not been discovered for a hundred years, the more the better.

But Angel also understood that there was probably only one ghost shadow demon. Because when he was observing Room 02 from the main control node before, he vaguely discovered that there seemed to be a strange creature in Room 02.

At that time, it was not certain what it was, but now it seems that it should be a ghost shadow demon.

In fact, this is also the reason why Angel chose to come to Room 02 first.

Before, through the observation of the fifth floor by the main control node, except for the fire scale familiar, the only creature with life fluctuations on the entire fifth floor was this strange creature in Room 02.

After the death of the fire scale familiar, the mist shadow appeared. Angell made some judgments based on his own experience and guessed that the mist shadow was a semi-empty state. If it wanted to affect the material world, it might have to possess a living creature.

And on the entire fifth floor, the only creature that could be possessed by the mist shadow was the strange creature in Room 02.

This was why Angell came to Room 02 first.

I had thought that I might encounter the mist shadow again here, but now it seems that the mist shadow did not come to Room 02. Maybe it was because it didn't know that there was a ghost demon that could possess a ghost demon? Or, in other words, its ability was not yet to the extent of possessing a ghost demon?

Whatever the answer was, at least Angell had solved a hidden danger now. If the mist shadow could really possess a ghost demon, with the terrifying blessing of the mist shadow on the living organism and its treacherous character, the battle would definitely not be as easy as it is now.

Although the mist shadow was not in Room 02, it didn't matter. Angell didn't have the urge to find and solve the mist shadow.

The superficial reason was that the mist shadow was not from the laboratory, and its purpose might not have much overlap with their trip.

But the real reason was that Angel didn't really want to solve the mist shadow.

He always felt that the origin of the mist shadow was a little strange, and when he expressed his desire to kill the mist shadow before, he had some unexplained omens in his heart.

These omens were not dangerous, but they seemed to be preventing Angel from killing it.

Of course, this was just Angel's idealistic feeling. It was not real, and even Angel himself could not guarantee it.

But he was willing to obey his inner will. As long as the fog and shadow did not come to provoke him again, he did not want to deliberately find a way to deal with it.

...

Continuing to move forward, after several more oil lamps, they finally walked out of the corridor and came to the main hall of Room 02.

The style here was different from the darkness in the corridor.

There were many light sources in the main hall, but these light sources were not completely illuminated, but were blocked by some room designs, and only played one tenth or two tenths of the role.

This resulted in many light sources, more light, more cover, more cutting, and more shadows.

It can be said that the entire hall has a very unique light and shadow style. There are cut light and shadow angles everywhere, and some light and shadows are even geometrically symmetrical, which amazed Angel.

However, Angel's main purpose of coming here was not to visit, but to find useful information.

At this time, the main hall was filled with a large number of books and scattered papers.

Before, Angel was worried that the fire-scale familiar would come to Room 02 and burn these books, but now they are safe.

Angel picked up a book on the nearby silver-white island at random, flipped through it for a while, and then put it down.

"Yeyu in the Firefly City", this is a best-selling magazine from the Night Talk Forest, which is quite popular among witches.

The dozens of books on the island are all "Yeyu in the Firefly City".

Maybe No. 02 bought related magazines to understand the wizarding world in the southern region? Or, is it No. 02's unknown hobby?

Angel turned around again, controlling five magic hands at the same time, flipping through a large number of books in the main hall.

Unfortunately, there is basically no information he wants to find here, more travel notes, and very niche and feminine gossip magazines.

However, if Angel remembers correctly, No. 03 seems to have said that No. 02 is a man?
