Chapter 363 Identity Exposed

"?"

The continuous prompts made Mu You startled.

He was not particularly surprised that he died after taking action. What really surprised him was that the death text did not even describe the process at all.

Deaths in the past would at least remind you of the process of being killed, the circumstances of the killer, etc. For example, when he was killed by Yubaba not long ago, the text at least told him that he was killed by a shadow ghost. This time Not at all.

This kind of death without any prompt is the first time since entering the game.

Mu You hurriedly pressed his pocket watch and tried other attack methods.

[You switch to vampire skin, jump out of the insect swarm again, emerge, and release a small fireball technique towards the high platform in the distance. 】

[However, before your fireball can take shape, there is some kind of terrifying existence in the darkness on the high platform, which instantly locks onto you...]

[You feel a strong coercion coming, making you immobile and confused...]

【You are dead...】

"Looking back..."

Mu You reluctantly pressed the pocket watch again.

After using the vampire skin, the result is still the same. Except for the slight change in the text, the whole process has changed. The moment he appears, a certain 'being' above will awaken, and then he will die instantly...

From this point of view, the ‘monster’ mentioned all the time in Louise’s diary was really not mentioned casually. However, just using 'monster' to describe this thing is too euphemistic.

Mu You then backtracked several times, trying to break through from other directions.

In the end, all failed. The entire high platform was surrounded by the hunting range of that 'thing'. The surrounding circular Gu pond surrounded the middle high platform like a moat, but this Gu pond was not so much for protecting the high platform. It is said that these bugs are to separate the high platform from other areas to prevent anyone from entering by mistake and being swallowed by that thing.

At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded.

In just a few seconds, the Ma Gan man came back and appeared on the high platform again.

"President, what are your orders?"

After a few seconds of silence in the darkness, another voice came.

"Today's Gu Pond feels a little disharmonious... Let's go and find out if something has been mixed in."

"yes."

The Ma Gan man immediately jumped into the Gu pool. Under the threat of the golden silkworm, the surrounding Gu insects all moved away instantly. Wherever he passed, all the insects would consciously give way to a path.

The Ma Gan people just explored the entire Gu Pond, inside and out, and found nothing unusual.

"President, there's nothing." The Ma Gan man returned to the high platform to report.

"Is it an illusion..."

Another voice muttered to itself, and then added after a moment: "I have been careful lately not to let any living beings step into the meeting."

"I understand that the entrance to this place has been well hidden and guarded by me personally. No one can take a step closer to the entrance without my permission," the Ma Gan man said.

"It's not enough to just be on guard against people. The Sky City is now docked in the Cook Islands. Those Fools always have some weird abilities. We need to pay more attention to the movements of those Fools. It's best not to let even a single insect in! " said another.

"yes."

After the Magan man finished speaking, he excused himself and soon disappeared again.

Now there was silence again.

Until a few minutes later, a dull roar suddenly sounded in the darkness on the high platform.

Following this sound, there was a sudden commotion in the sea of ​​​​gu insects below. The insects on the side of the high platform retreated like a tide, revealing a circular open space in the pool, and the scope of the open space continued to expand. It grew bigger and bigger until the insect tide was squeezed to the limit on one side of the Gu Pond and finally stopped.

The insects were trembling and stacked together, not daring to move. However, on the exposed part of the other side of the Gu Pond, everything at the bottom of the Pond became unobstructed.

At a certain moment, an extremely small object slowly floated up from the crack in the ground and landed on the platform.

It was a broken metal foot smaller than gravel, shaped like the hind leg of an arthropod.

…

On the other side, Mu You had already turned back the same way.

Just now when he noticed that the Ma Gan man was gone and coming back, he returned to the sewage pipe in advance.

As for the golden silkworm chrysalis, he didn't move it for the time being. After all, someone was watching the Gu Pond nearby, and it would be too obvious if it moved.

By the time the game character climbed out of the pipe, it was already dark in reality.

Mu You temporarily quit the game and checked the messages on his satellite phone.

The overnight meeting held by the exchange group and the defense agency last night has ended. After a night of discussion, Japan finally came up with a relatively reliable response plan: nationwide thorough investigation and monitoring!

According to the current intelligence, although these shadow people can perfectly disguise themselves as humans, the cycle and cost of acquiring a shadow should be high, otherwise it would not be possible for them to infiltrate single-digit high-level government personnel over so many years.

As for those people who did not come for the self-examination last night, after tracing, it was found that they had lost contact for one to two months in the past five years.

From this, we can deduce a conclusion: if these shadow people want to obtain the shadow, they must kidnap someone first and wait at least a month before they can replace him.

Therefore, if you want to find these shadow people, you only need to investigate the people who have disappeared in the past five years, especially those who have been missing for more than a month and then suddenly reappeared. In this way, the search scope can be greatly reduced. It is said that the Japanese government has searched the entire country overnight. Surveillance cameras are connected to the Internet to search the portraits in this database in real time.

Mu You doesn't care how Japan plans to investigate.

At this time, their own tasks have also been released in the exchange group group.

The first is a piece of data software, which was shared by Japan. It stores the files of all missing persons in Japan in the past five years. If they encounter a suspicious person, they can compare them at any time.

There is also a map of Japan, which is covered with dense red dots.

"This is the result of marking all missing persons on the map at their corresponding missing locations."

Director Wang was typing and explaining in the group.

"It can be clearly seen that the number of missing people in Tokyo is regular, and it is particularly dense in this area."

Director Wang sent out an enlarged local map. The main area shown on it is a place called Chiya Ward in Tokyo. The density of red dots in this area is much higher than that in surrounding areas.

"So, our search focus in the next few days will be on this area."

The task of the exchange group did not force everyone to go where to investigate. It just said that everyone should go out to investigate freely and investigate those people and things that they think are suspicious. The only thing they should pay attention to is to keep their mobile phones open at all times, because recently Shadow ghosts may appear at any time and require timely support.

Mu You was not optimistic about the investigation plan that was discussed at the meeting between the two parties. After all, this kind of investigation would take too long, and the boss behind the scenes would escape in two days, so there would be no time to find out much.

What he noticed now was another location.

In the game before, the person behind the scenes said something: No. 14’s residence is very close to the space rift!

The No. 14 here should refer to Ward No. 14, which is Mianmian.

So the 'residence on No. 14' is, of course, the home of sisters Ye Rumeng and Mianmian in Japan.

Mu You had specifically asked for the address of the little girl's home before she came, and marked it on the map software.

At this time, open the map software and compare it with the map of Qiangu District sent by Director Wang. Everything becomes clear at a glance: the location of the little girl's home is just on the west side of Qiangu District, only a short distance away from this area. It's about a kilometer away.

It's no wonder that the person behind the scenes didn't hesitate to arrange for his subordinates to self-destruct, and also tried every means to divert human attention away from this side.

The space rift is located near their key investigation area. As long as they expand the search range slightly from the original plan, it is possible to cover the location of the space rift.

However, Mu You does not intend to announce the matter about the space crack. Otherwise, if a group of people come here to search, they will definitely alert the snake. Once the person behind the scenes is forced to choose to continue dormant on the earth, it will be difficult to find him. .

Therefore, Mu You can basically only find this space crack by himself.

There's no hurry. There are many people and eyesight during the day, so Mu You plans to wait until nightfall before going over to check.

After checking in in the group, Mu You returned to the game.

[You appear in front of the Black River outside the West District. There is no one around. There is no trace of the cleaning robots that were originally fishing for insect corpses by the river. 】

After going online, the robots gathered here seemed to disappear, and Mu You didn't care. He just thought they were recharged and hurriedly controlled the characters and rushed to the North District.

[You arrived at the North District Treatment Center and found ward No. 15. 】

[Looking into the ward through the window, everything in the room has been cleared away, leaving only dust on the floor and empty bed boards. 】

[You switch back to vampire skin and use the unlocking spell. 】

[The door lock clicked open, and you quietly walked into the room, only to find a line of footprints on the floor. Judging from the clarity, they seemed to have been left not long ago. 】

[Time is limited, you ignored the footprints, waved your wand and used the search spell...]

[Search successful! You found two items related to Corday Louise. 】

"oh?"

Mu You was so happy that he found two clues at once?

[You hurriedly searched along the directions, and soon found a note under the crack in the wall in the corner of the room. 】

[Fragments of Louise’s diary. 】

[...Mianmian and I would exchange some whispers through notes every night, and we quickly became good friends. She taught me a lot and helped me quickly adapt to life here... But what makes me strange is that, Mianmian always seems to be very sleepy, and will close her eyes to sleep whenever she has the opportunity. Sometimes she will even fall asleep suddenly while playing, eating or walking, so she often falls to herself with bruises and bruises... I once asked Mianmian why. She loves sleep so much that she quietly told me a secret: when she sleeps, her consciousness will enter another world and travel. It is a wonderful world with no oppression, no disease, and all kinds of things that have never been seen before. The novel things... Mianmian would tell me what she saw and heard in the dream world every day. I was deeply fascinated by the dream world she described... This is what I am most looking forward to every day for a long time from now on. thing...

——2/8]

The second page of the diary was found again. This time the diary was all about ‘Mianmian’. Mianmian really had abilities similar to Ye Rumeng, and could also enter the dream world when she fell asleep. It was a pity that there was no space backpack in this place, otherwise she could escape with the help of the backpack rules like the little girl.

Coming back to his senses, Mu You continued to search, and he had just found two clues.

[You continued to search along the instructions, and finally found a broken music box behind the windowsill. ]

[You opened the music box, but found that it was empty. ]

[Obviously, you were a step late, and the things inside had been taken away...]

“Huh?”

Mu You was stunned, and the second clue was broken.

Combined with the ‘footprints’ hint just now, it seems that someone really came here before and found the diary in the music box in advance.

And apart from him, the only human who could freely enter this abandoned area could obviously be the ‘administrator’.

[You realized that it might be that an administrator took the clue away before you. 】

【Judging from the footprints on the ground, this person is a woman, and you have only seen one female administrator in this underground factory, the old lady in green with reading glasses! 】

The clue was actually taken by the administrator first...

Mu You frowned, which means that if he wants to get all the diaries, he must rob them.

After thinking about it, Mu You decided to go to the central area where the administrator lives to see where this person is.

As a result, when he arrived in the central area, he found that something was wrong.

【You see cleaning robots and hard-working robots gathered in the front area, and there are several administrators around, all covered with sharp teeth and claws, wandering in the robot queue, and mercilessly attacking the surrounding robots. One by one, the robots are turned into scrap metal under their hands. 】

"Destroy the robots?"

Mu You was stunned. Why did he suddenly destroy a large number of robots? Has he been exposed?

Mu You was thinking about where he had revealed his flaws, and suddenly a prompt popped up on his mobile phone.

【"The robot in front, stop!" You heard a shrill shout from behind. 】

【Looking back, an old lady in green is walking towards you from behind. 】

【The old lady wearing reading glasses looks at you vigilantly, scolding: "Didn't I tell you all to line up in the central area to wait for inspection? Why don't you go?" You choose...】

Suddenly being discovered, Mu You originally planned to go back immediately, but it was the green-clad administrator who discovered him here...

Mu You hesitated for a moment and made a decision: Go straight to it!

Anyway, he has been exposed. If he doesn't do it now, he will most likely be chased and intercepted until he is driven out. It is better to fight before leaving. If you can win, it would be the best to grab the things. If you can't win, you will only live for a year.

【You choose to pretend that the track is injured, show the other party your damaged walker, and broadcast in a mechanical voice: "The walker is malfunctioning and cannot move..." 】

【The green-clad administrator relaxes a little after hearing this, and motions you to stand still and let her go over to check. 】

【You do as you are told and lie dormant, but secretly you are quietly preparing for an attack. 】

【When the opponent approaches within five meters of you, you suddenly jump up, and a wave of icy energy shoots out from your chest, hitting the opponent. The green-clothed administrator is instantly frozen and unable to move. 】

【Above your hands, spiral gun barrels quickly emerge, and a large number of bullets pour out towards the opponent. 】

【The green-clothed administrator is furious, and his body quickly changes into an old man. At the same time, the phantom of an old shadow ghost appears on his body, and immediately breaks free from the freezing and rushes towards you! 】

【You activate the smoke-spraying device, and the scene is instantly covered by a large area of ​​thick smoke, and nothing can be seen clearly. 】

【Your two guns shoot randomly into the smoke, and at the same time, your cannon begins to charge...】

【The surging cannon blasts out, and the dazzling light disperses the smoke and destroys all obstacles along the way. 】

【You kill an old shadow ghost, life +1...】

【You obtain the remains of the old shadow ghost. 】

【You obtain the 'clue hidden in the music box'. 】

【You were torn to pieces by the other shadow ghosts who came to support you! 】
