Chapter 2440 New Member (Today I'm Really Tired and Don't Want to Move)
"So this is another Xiaoxi early age."
Seeing the monster waving its arms angrily on the shopping street, Ellie also narrowed her eyes. She had a question before, that is, if her judgment was correct, the first three victims were all killed by "another self." "Killed, so after killing them, where did the other one go?
Did it disappear with the death of the main body?
It now appears that her question has been answered.
Obviously, after killing her own body, Xiao Xizao completely merged with the shadow, and then ran here—although it is not clear why she returned to the shopping street, but these are not important now, after all, since she appears, then get ready to die.
Although Xiao Xizao in front of her looked very pitiful with teary eyes, Ellie didn't care about this. She raised Bartley in her hand, and skillfully fired another shot at the opponent's forehead. Soon, the blood flower bloomed again, and the spider monster also screamed and stepped back several steps. But it didn't fall down. The armor-piercing bullets that were enough to penetrate the tank left only a bloody wound on the spider monster's head, and it didn't even penetrate the bones.
"Still hard."
Faced with this scene, Ellie was not surprised, she just muttered something, then threw away the Bartley in her hand, then pulled out an RPG from the cloak to aim at the enemy, and pulled the trigger again. Soon, a rocket flew past with tail smoke, and directly hit the spider monster's body and exploded. Accompanied by the tumbling flames and shock waves, the huge body of the spider monster trembled a few times, Then he continued to pounce forward.
At the same time, Ellie raised her right hand.
Time stopped flowing at this moment.
The next moment, time began to flow again.
For the others, it seemed that there was nothing special about it, they just felt a blur before their eyes, and then hundreds of rockets flew out from all directions, blasting towards the spider monster. One rocket after another mercilessly hit the spider monster's huge body. Finally, this time the spider monster couldn't resist such a large-scale simultaneous attack again, and immediately collapsed to the ground screaming.
"Homura's move is quite useful."
Seeing the scene in front of her, Ellie nodded with satisfaction, because unlike Fangzheng, Ellie's ability to use is quite limited, so she must find a way to ensure that her ability can exert the maximum damage in the shortest time. You can't use barrage bombing to deal with shadow monsters, because the coffins in the shadow time are the same as the fixed humans in the seal. If you move the coffin, the people inside will die after the shadow time ends.
And this shadow time is much more difficult than Fengjue. After all, you smashed half of the city in Fengjue. As long as you have enough power of existence, you can still repair it, but if you smash it in shadow time, it will be really bad. Repairing... is impossible.
Dealing with a thick-skinned and resistant guy like the shadow monster, Ellie is also a bit tricky, but fortunately she also gained some experience from Xiaomeiyan——When Xiaomeiyan dealt with Witch Night alone I once paused the time and fired hundreds of rockets directly at Witch's Night, and then started the time flow. This not only guarantees the hit rate, but also guarantees the lethality. If it weren't for Witch's Night, it would not take physical attacks. , maybe Xiaomeiyan can really wipe it off by herself.
Now Ai Li is using Xiaomeiyan's trick to follow the gourd, and she is also handy in dealing with the shadow monsters in front of her. She can not only manipulate time but also space. If you take out the bazooka directly, you will almost hit the opponent's face directly. It exploded.
No matter how powerful this shadow monster is, it can't withstand this level of attack. Let alone it, even an aircraft carrier can be directly blasted by the bazooka army here. So, accompanied by the unwilling wail, the shadow monster melted directly, disappeared into the air without a trace, and not long after that, the shadow time ended.
After that, Ellie took the three little girls back to the Iwatodai branch to inquire about the situation. Faced with Ellie's inquiry, Xia Yin and Jietong certainly would not hide anything, so soon Ellie knew The ins and outs of things...
"It's certainly a good thing that you want to help me, but..."
"Isn't now the time when we can help? Big sister!?"
At this moment, Tong Tong also rushed over, grabbed Ai Li, and stared at her with two big eyes twinkling.
"Sister Xuecai couldn't enter the shadow time, so you didn't take her with you, big sister, but we are different, we can act in the shadow time, and Xia Yin and I just awakened a special power Well, I will definitely be able to help you, big sister!"
"Me, me too...!"
Xia Yin was also uncharacteristically at this moment, raising her hand timidly.
"I also want to help Miss Ellie..."
"Ok……………"
Looking at the two people in front of her, Ellie couldn't help but fell into thinking. Indeed, if it is an ordinary case investigation, she is not willing to involve people around her. But the problem is that the situation in Shadow Time is different. Only a very small number of people can enter Shadow Time. In addition, it is almost impossible to use modern technological creations in Shadow Time, which greatly increases the importance of manpower.
"Miss Allie, we're back!"
While Ellie was thinking, Yue Yu Yujiali also brought Chie Rinaka back to the branch. In addition, they also hugged a... dog?
"You wouldn't expect it! We found a dog that can move around in the shadows, and it uses Persona!"
"........."
Meow meow meow?
Hearing this, Ellie was completely speechless.
Even dogs?
Then... Need I say more?
You can't let Jie Tong and Xia Yin feel that they are not as good as dogs.
In the end, Airi nodded and agreed to the request of the two, and kept them and Astarotte, and at the same time notified Yukina, asking her to protect Nagisa.
"...So, senior would rather let Xia Yin and Jietong help than let me follow senior?"
Yukina's voice from the mobile phone was low and gloomy, even if she couldn't see the other person's face, at this moment Ellie could still imagine that Yukina was hanging her head down, exuding a gloomy look like a Japanese female ghost .
"Uh... there's no way around that. You know that the situation in Shadow Time is quite special, and we really lack manpower in Shadow Time. Besides, Xia Yin and Jie Tong are somewhat capable of self-protection, Astarotti Also beside them..."
"I see."
"Well... Please, Yukina, Nagisa also asks you to help take care of it. I will go back immediately after this case is settled."
"OK."
Xuecai hung up the phone without saying a word, which also made Ellie very speechless——she is not a fool, of course it can be heard that Xuecai is definitely not in a good mood now. But now Airi has no way to comfort her, after all, if Xiayin, Yutong and Astaruti are all gone, only Yukina will be with Nagisa.
I can only wait for this matter to be settled before going to comfort Xuecai's injured heart. Ellie is very sure about this. Say a few words of love in the ear, and then bite two more to make sure that she will forget all her temper when she is weak all over.
Ok? What? Is this scumbag behavior?
Miss Ben is now a woman!
How can it be called a scumbag behavior when a girl posts a post?
For Ellie, in addition to the three little helpers including Jietong and a dog who can use Persona this time, there is another harvest that those shadow monsters slipped through the net. After all, judging from the previous situation, three clones merged with the shadow, killed their own bodies, and then disappeared without a trace.
Now it seems that they are likely to return to their home——As for the Xiaoxi store, Ellie went to visit the next day, but found that the door of the Xiaoxi store was locked. After asking the neighbors, they only said that they had not seen Xiaoxi and his wife for several days. Most people felt that they chose to move away from this sad place because of Xiao Xizaoji's death.
Hmm...Thinking carefully about the middle-aged couple who met the monster with both sides fused last night, Ellie has almost guessed the result.
Most likely the shadowed avatar returned home, and then merged the main body's parents into it. This ending can only be said to be embarrassing, but... that's all. In any case, Xiaoxi did bear a lot of pressure from her parents and neighbors in the early years, and she naturally had some dissatisfaction with her parents and neighbors in her subconscious. Now it seems that the shadowed clone returned to Xiaoxi After early Ji's home, he devoured his parents, and even murdered the neighbors around him.
After all, after that, Ellie and the police conducted an investigation, and found that many people in the shopping street centered on Xiao Nishi's early home, disappeared without a trace. Most of them were people who opened shops on the shopping street, and their disappearance was also very consistent. Basically, the people next door got up one day and found that the shop did not open on time.
In other places, this kind of behavior may still cause suspicion, but since the large supermarket on the 12th artificial island has already backlogged the business in the shopping street, many people think that those missing people just closed their shops and left. .
It now appears that this is not the case.
So Ellie immediately began to change her target and gave everyone a new task. In addition to searching for other possible suspects, she also carefully searched the residences of Yamano anchor and Director Tanaka. After all, with the lessons learned from Xiaoxi's early years, it is very likely that their missing avatar is in their own home. Although Ellie is not sure if this is an instinctive move by these avatars, or if it is a ghost behind the scenes.
But no matter which one it is, it must be right to eliminate them first!
