Chapter 358: The Aftermath of the Storm

The corpse has no shadow, so it seems that the shadow may be the real body of this person.

The change in this person's appearance, as well as the text of the Yubaba becoming a shadow ghost in the game before, also first changed the appearance to the shape of a shadow, and then prompted to become a shadow ghost.

This form of transformation made Mu You think of "skin".

Players enter the Star Spirit World by injecting a virtual mind clone into the Star Spirit World. If the mind clone can find the bodies of the natives in the Star Spirit World, whether they died in the past or were temporarily killed, they can "wear" them as skin, thus replacing the corresponding natives and existing.

Since players can enter the Star Spirit World in the form of game characters, is it possible for the people in the Star Spirit World to invade the earth in a similar way?

If the shadow is regarded as skin, the people in the Star Spirit World can obtain the shadow of the earthlings through some method, and then use the shadow to change their appearance to the appearance of the corresponding earthlings, so as to hide on the earth without being noticed, and work and live normally among humans.

The reason for this speculation is that when Mu You explored the young man with glasses before, the other party did not feedback the game ID.

If this person is from the Star Spirit Realm, and the young man with glasses he saw is just the other party's 'game character', then everything can make sense.

The muscular man that Lin Xue killed in front of him was just one of the other party's 'skins'. The other party abandoned this skin and sacrificed the car to save the general, allowing the real body, that is, the shadow, to escape.

"I'll go to the beach to see." Lin Xue said, and then ran towards the beach with a sickle.

The direction the other party wanted to escape just now was obviously to the beach. If the other party escaped by using the shadow, the most likely possibility was to run to the beach.

Mu You did not stop her, but he did not hold much hope. In this wilderness without lights, it was too easy for a shadow to escape.

After Lin Xue left, Mu You turned around and looked at the two shadow ghosts not far ahead.

At this time, the two shadow ghosts were still fighting fiercely with each other, but after the initial stage of entanglement, the gap between the two sides had quickly manifested.

The later shadow ghost was obviously no match for the box shadow ghost. After the violent momentum at the beginning dissipated, it was only left to be beaten. The box shadow ghost kept pulling black air from its body, and its figure became smaller and smaller, and the gap in strength between the two sides became larger and larger.

After dozens of seconds, the box shadow ghost finally made the last blow, and tore the extremely weak shadow ghost in front of it into two halves with one claw.

The shadow ghost fell to the ground with unwilling wails, and the black air quickly dissipated. Only the body of a man in black was left on the spot, with his eyes wide open and an extremely frightened expression. He was already dead and could not die anymore.

At Mu You's hand, the little girl had woken up at some point and was standing behind Mu You, staring blankly at the shadow ghost in front of her, and the confusion in her eyes gradually dissipated.

Mu You had no time to pay attention to her. He quickly took the shadow ghost box in his hand and held the pocket watch in his other hand.

The next question is how to seal this shadow ghost back...

Mu You was able to release the shadow ghost so decisively just now, one because this shadow ghost reacted to the little girl, and the other because this shadow ghost had shown signs of being able to communicate before.

But even so, Mu You didn't think that the other party would go back obediently after being released with great difficulty.

In the distance, after the shadow ghost killed the opponent, his eyes were still violent, and he immediately began to look for the next target.

As soon as he turned his sight, he saw Ye Rumeng in the distance.

Seeing the little girl being stopped by another person, the shadow ghost roared angrily, threw away the body of the black-clothed man under his feet, and rushed towards the two people.

The shadow ghost arrived in the blink of an eye, raised his claws towards Mu You, and was about to swing down.

Mu You had already hidden the box behind him at this time, waiting to take it out the moment the shadow ghost rushed over.

"Don't!"

However, just as the shadow ghost pounced and the claws were about to slap, Ye Rumeng behind him suddenly stepped forward and shouted out instinctively.

Mu You was startled, and subconsciously pulled the little girl behind him to protect her, and then he was about to press the pocket watch.

Unexpectedly, at this time, after hearing the little girl's voice, the shadow ghost suddenly stopped, did not continue to attack, but floated back.

The shadow ghost floated in the air, looking at the girl protected by Mu You, wanting to approach but not daring, and didn't know where to put his claws, like a child who had done something wrong.

After pausing for a few seconds, the shadow ghost pounced on the two again, but this time it was not an attack, but a plunge into the box in Mu You's hand.

The box closed automatically, and there was no movement.

Mu You looked at the shadow ghost box in surprise, and then at the little girl. Unexpectedly, the shadow ghost actually went back by himself after the little girl's words...

"Woo woo..."

At this time, he noticed that Ye Rumeng behind him suddenly began to cry, looking very sad.

"Mengmeng, what did you remember?" Mu You asked her hurriedly.

"No..."

The little girl shook her head, tears still welled up in her eyes, she raised the back of her hand to wipe, but the tears became more and more.

"I just suddenly felt... so sad..."

After crying for a long time, she raised her head, looked at Mu You with tears in her eyes and asked: "Mu You, is my sister... really still alive?"

"Of course."

Mu You nodded at her, although he also had some doubts whether the shadow ghost in the box was the little girl's sister.

But the conclusion that her sister was still alive was the result that the divination told him at the beginning, and it should not be wrong...

At this time, footsteps sounded in the distance.

The two turned their heads and saw that it was Lin Xue who walked out of the darkness.

"How is it?" Mu You asked.

"I didn't find it." Lin Xue shook her head.

"Forget it, you take her back first, I'll deal with it here."

Mu You looked up and looked into the distance. At this moment, the sirens around were gathering from all directions, and soon the police and the people from the Investigation Bureau would arrive at the scene.

"Okay, then you be careful."

Lin Xue nodded, took the little girl away first, and soon disappeared into the night.

After Lin Xue left, Mu You did not leave the scene, but changed his skin, found a stone and sat down next to the body of the muscular man.

A moment later, a large number of footsteps sounded from a distance, and then the beams of various flashlights shone on him.

"Mu You?"

A familiar voice sounded in the distance.

"Don't shoot, we're on the same side!"

Accompanying this shout, a group of armed policemen ran over from a distance, led by Zhang Yang.

"Here we are." Mu You raised his hand and greeted them.

"Mu You, what's going on? Where's the shadow ghost?" Zhang Yang looked at the mess on the ground in surprise. The trees were crooked, the land was cracked, and there were big and small pits everywhere. It was obvious that this place had just experienced a very tragic battle.

"You are a step too late, the battle is over." Mu You said.

"Did you solve it?"

Zhang Yang looked at him in shock, and then looked at the body not far away. The news he just received said that a shadow ghost appeared in the urban area of ​​K City and destroyed a block in an instant.

Fortunately, it seemed that someone appeared at the scene and led the shadow ghost away in time, all the way to the suburbs.

After receiving the alarm, they drove to the scene of the crime as soon as possible, but unfortunately they were still a step too late. What they didn't expect was that they saw Mu You first when they arrived at the scene.

He instinctively thought that it was Mu You who led the shadow ghost away and solved the shadow ghost.

"I don't have that much ability." Mu You shook his head and smiled.

"What is this?"

"It's the ghost captain and the red sickle girl."

This is half true and half false, anyway, just push everything to another identity.

"Ah..."

Zhang Yang didn't expect that these two mysterious bosses were involved.

"What happened specifically? Tell me!" Zhang Yang asked hurriedly.

"I came a little earlier than you. When I rushed over, the battle was already coming to an end. The two bosses solved the shadow ghost, but it seemed that there was a hidden culprit behind it. The two bosses asked me to watch the scene, and they went to chase the murderer."

"Where did they go?"

"Over there." Mu You pointed to the direction of the sea.

"Quick, you guys, go over and help."

Zhang Yang hurriedly assigned a team of people to go in the direction Mu You pointed, and the rest of the people immediately blocked the scene.

Until the support troops arrived and everything was settled at the scene, Zhang Yang was relieved and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Fortunately, nothing serious happened... But you have to go back with me to make a record next."

"I understand." Mu You nodded.

Then Mu You followed Zhang Yang back to the Abnormal Investigation Bureau by car and described his experience tonight half-truthfully.

Everything he said perfectly matched the situation at the scene, so no one doubted it.

However, Mu You also knew that it was impossible to determine the nature of this matter based on his explanation alone, and he would definitely find another party involved, the Ghost Captain, to verify it.

When Mu You returned home late at night, he turned on his mobile phone and saw that he had received a private message from Jiuyou on the forum, politely asking him what happened tonight.

"I solved the shadow ghost, but the mastermind behind it was not caught, and that thing ran away..."

Mu You briefly told the other party what happened, which just happened to confirm his record at the police station.

By the way, he also specifically mentioned the other party's means of escape.

"You mean, this person might not be a human, but a 'thing' from the Star Spirit World?" Jiuyou was very surprised. He certainly heard the hint of the ghost captain, and if this is true, it means that the creatures of the Star Spirit World can pretend to be humans through some means and stir up trouble on Earth.

There are too many problems involved in this...

"It's just a guess. I'm not sure about the details. It's up to you to investigate next." Mu You replied.

"Okay, leave it to us next. We will inform you of the results of the investigation in time. In any case, today is really thanks to your timely action, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." Jiuyou replied.

"Nothing, just doing it by the way..."

Then the two of them exchanged a few simple pleasantries and hung up the private chat.

After finishing this matter, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the sofa. Only then did he have time to take out the Shadow Ghost Box and take a look.

In the box, the Shadow Ghost was curled up quietly in the corner, seemingly resting. He noticed Mu You's gaze and ignored his meaning.

Mu You tried to communicate with it, such as asking it if it knew the little girl, whether it was the little girl's sister, etc., but the other party did not respond. He talked for a long time as if he was talking to a cow.

Just as Mu You was patiently preparing to continue trying, a mobile phone rang, from the old-fashioned mobile phone given by Lu Yao.

"I found the identities of the two people you asked me to check." When the call was connected, Lu Yao said this.

"Oh? Who is it?" Mu You asked.

"Both of them come from Benzi's side, a force called 'Fenglei Clan'. The young one among them should be the designated heir of Fenglei Clan, which is equivalent to the head of the family."

"Fengleimen?" Mu You recalled it and confirmed that he had no impression of the name.

"It's a gangster organization with average strength and a low reputation in Japan. You don't know it's normal." Lu Yao said, "However, there is something very strange about the young man wearing glasses."

"What?"

"It is said that this man used to be a dandy with a very perverse personality. He would fight, eat, drink, whore and gamble. It was common for him to get into trouble. He was not the heir in the Fenglei Sect originally... But since five years ago, Starting one day after , this man's personality suddenly changed dramatically. He became calm, studious, unsmiling, and extremely self-disciplined overnight. In just three months, he was completely recognized as the heir of Fenglei Sect. , has mastered the real power of the family..." Lu Yao said.

"five years ago……"

Mu You touched his chin. This time seemed a bit familiar. In the game before, it seemed that the time when Granny Yu appeared in the Cook Islands was five years ago...

Coupled with the sudden change in this person's personality, his previous guess is more likely to come true: this person was probably taken over by Jiu five years ago and replaced by another person, and then controlled the wind and thunder. The power of the sect is doing something secretly...

This also explains why this person does not have a game ID. If this guy is from the Star Spirit Realm, he will naturally not be accepted by the Fool Game.

However, since Lu Yao could easily find out this information within a day, it should be said that the country would be able to find it out more easily.

It is estimated that there should be news before tomorrow morning.

Next, Mu You continued to hang up the game and continued to search for clues in the Society of the Dead, while secretly paying attention to the news on the forum.

At about five o'clock the next morning, Mu You received a call from Zhang Yang.

"The identities of the two corpses were found out. They are both Japanese. The muscular man among them is said to have disappeared more than four years ago. There has been no news since. I didn't expect that he would appear in the form of a corpse yesterday."

"Where's the other one?"

"The other one is also Japanese and has been living in China for a long time. His surface identity is a businessman. However, after we investigated his identity, we found that he belongs to a Japanese force called 'Feng Leimen'."

Zhang Yang paused before continuing: "In addition, regarding this Feng Lei Sect, a few days ago, the leader of this family, a young man named Tetsuya Kusanagi, just arrived in K City by plane. We checked it overnight last night There is no trace of anyone in the place where they registered to live. There are no clues of these people found in other places in K City. They may have fled the country... We are now guessing that this person may be responsible for this matter. The mastermind behind it!”

"What about the casualties?" Mu You asked.

"The statistics have been calculated. Five people died, more than 200 people were injured, and various buildings were damaged... Of course, the injured buildings are easy to talk about. There are healing spells and repair spells, so it is not difficult to restore and rebuild. Fortunately, everyone now has It’s the players, and their physical fitness has improved a lot, which has greatly reduced the death rate.”

Zhang Yang sighed after finishing speaking: "However, the impact of this incident is still very bad! The leaders above are said to be very angry, discussed it all night, and have decided to pursue it to the end!"

"So?" Mu You heard that Zhang Yang had something to say.

"So, there is a matter now." Zhang Yang said awkwardly: "The above decided to dispatch a group of experts from various places to form an 'exchange group' to go to Japan to investigate the matter in detail. This matter has been communicated with the Japanese government through negotiation. ”

"After all, this happened in our K city. It would be unreasonable if our branch didn't send people there, but we have too few experts here..." Zhang Yang was very embarrassed.

Mu You naturally understood. Zhang Yang hoped that he could go to Japan with the group on behalf of K City.

"Of course, this is not mandatory. If you don't want to go, I completely understand..." After hearing Muyou's silence, Zhang Yang quickly added.

"Go, of course I will go." Mu You said suddenly.

"Ah, you really want to go?"

"Why not take the opportunity to travel at public expense? Besides, I am one of the witnesses at the scene, so it is most appropriate for me to go." Mu You said with a smile.

Not to mention that the Shadow Ghost and Feng Leimen matters were all related to him. On the other hand, he had long wanted to go to Japan to investigate the little girl's life experience. It's just that he suddenly ran to Japan alone, which was somewhat unexpected, and his identity was a bit sensitive. Now that he went with a group, he could investigate openly.
