Chapter 364: Falsified Memory

[You are resurrected in the night watchman's cabin. ]

Lucky, the green-clad administrator seems to be carrying an old shadow ghost, who is very weak, far inferior to the Tangbaba he met before, and was killed by him with a cannon.

After coming to his senses, Mu You first checked the spoils of the kill.

In addition to the clues in the music box, the drops just now also include something that a shadow ghost exploded.

[Shadow ghost's remains: the remains left after the death of the shadow ghost, the shape is a group of wriggling phantoms. According to the strength of the shadow ghost, after fusion, it can slightly increase the strength of your shadow, thereby indirectly increasing the ability of your body. After fusion, the health value is permanently +56 points (the upper limit of the same effect is 5000 points), so that you can gain the ability to control the shape and direction of the shadow, and your shadow can temporarily leave the body for action, the longest time of leaving the body is one hour every 24 hours, if the shadow does not return to the creature for more than one hour, it will disappear permanently. ]

The description of the shadow ghost's remains is fancy, Mu You tried to click it out and take a look.

A creeping shadow appeared on the ground. It looked like a slime, but it was illusory, without substance or weight.

Mu You tried to walk under the shadow, and it merged into his shadow and disappeared, while his shadow seemed to solidify.

Mu You looked at his phone again, and it reminded him that his health had increased by 56 points.

"Shadow separated from the body..."

Looking at the instructions in the game, Mu You tried to concentrate and connect his consciousness to the shadow.

The next moment, the shadow began to change shape, from a human figure to an ellipse, and then to a thin line as he wished, and could rotate around his body at will.

After a few seconds, the shadow directly broke away from its feet, swam around the wall in the room, and finally returned to his body.

After a simple attempt, Mu You had a preliminary understanding of the changes in his shadow. Simply put, as long as he concentrated, he could make his shadow become manipulable.

When the shadow separated from the body, it was equivalent to the existence of a clone. He could share the perspective of the shadow and use the shadow's property of no collision volume to drill into places that humans could not reach for reconnaissance and other work.

Unfortunately, it can only be out of the body for up to one hour, and from the previous capture of the Uchimura, they have learned that the out-of-body shadow will also be injured normally, which greatly limits the use of this ability.

Of course, the original text in the description is that the shadow will disappear only if it does not return to the creature for more than one hour. In other words, after the shadow leaves the body, it does not have to return to the body, as long as it becomes the shadow of another creature.

This is also the principle of those shadow people who can project shadows to the earth: make humans into "shadow ghost skin", and these shadows can generate a real human on the shadow as long as they are transformed into the corresponding "skin" shape. By disguising as the shadow of this human, these shadows can be separated from the body for a long time and live in another world.

Of course, Mu You does not have this kind of shadow ghost skin, so his shadow cannot exist for a long time after leaving the body, and must return to the body as soon as possible. This ability is better than nothing for him.

What is really useful about this thing is that it adds life value to him. Although it is only 56 points, the upper limit is prompted later. By killing the shadow ghost, he can increase his life limit by up to 5,000 points, which is a considerable value!

But then again, he had killed two shadow ghosts on Earth before, the giant shadow ghost and the muscular shadow ghost in K City, and the Uchimura captured after coming to Japan. These shadow ghosts did not leave this kind of shadow debris after death.

The only difference between them and this old shadow ghost is that these three shadow ghosts were killed on Earth.

It seems that only by killing shadow ghosts in the Star Spirit Realm can this thing drop.

After watching the changes in the shadow, Mu You looked back at his phone and continued to count the gains.

[You opened the "clue hidden in the music box", which is a neatly folded note. ]

[Louise's diary fragments. ]

[... I have been captured here for three years. A few days ago, the administrator told me that my "condition" has worsened and I need to leave here and move to the hospital in the west district for more in-depth "treatment". Leaving Mianmian was a huge piece of bad news for me. She was my spiritual support here. Without her, I didn’t know how I would survive here in the future... Mianmian comforted me and promised that after we recovered from the disease and left here, I would call her loudly whenever I needed her, and she would definitely come to see me no matter how far away she was...

Two days later, I was taken to a newly built hospital in the west district. The room was brand new and much larger than before, but it was changed into a double dormitory. The girl who was locked up with me was a little girl younger than me, only seven years old, named Sayaka. She seemed to have just come in here. She was shivering in the corner all day long out of fear, like a pitiful little rabbit. What was more troublesome was that she didn't speak the Star Spirit Language, but a language I had never heard of. We couldn't communicate... Fortunately, the administrator sent a prop that allowed people to communicate directly with each other, which solved the language barrier... Sayaka and I communicated After the flow, I found that we seemed to be unexpectedly compatible in many aspects of our hobbies... After a few days of short time together, Sayaka became very clingy to me and admired me very much. I enjoyed this feeling a little and treated her as my own sister... Now that I have lost Mimi, I have a new goal, which is to protect Sayaka from living here...

——6/8

The diary on page 6 has a large time span, directly coming to three years later, Louise changed her residence and separated from Mimi, but at the same time welcomed a new roommate, who was the new character 'Sayaka' mentioned in the diary on page 7.

The diary specifically mentioned that Sayaka did not speak the Star Spirit language, but a different language, which made Mu You more convinced that Sayaka might be an earthling who was kidnapped to the Star Spirit World through a space crack.

And Louise entered the underground factory four years ago, and the three years later in the diary was a year ago.

Mu You opened the group of the exchange group and called up the missing persons database shared by Japan, searching for the three conditions of 'Sayaka', '6-8 years old', and '10-15 months ago'.

However, the search results were empty.

Mu You tried to relax some of the conditions, but the result was still the same. There were many missing people named Sayaka, but the youngest was over 13 years old, which was obviously not a match.

Did he guess wrong and was not Japanese? Or is Sayaka not her real name?

Mu You couldn't be sure for a while.

In any case, with the sixth page of the diary being found, he has now found the first seven pages of all eight pages of the diary, and finally gradually connected them into a complete story, telling what Louise encountered in the three years after entering the factory. Through her perspective, the darkness in the Undead Society was revealed. From the small to the big, it can be associated with everything that the other captured children encountered in the Undead Society.

The missing eighth page is the most important page, because this page should tell the ending of Louise and how the shadow ghost was created.

Unfortunately, now that his identity has been exposed, those shadow people have begun to be wary of the existence of mechanical life forms, and it is almost impossible to sneak into the underground again.

In the next day, Mu You resumed his life between the academy and the dungeon in the game.

Now the progress of the Dawn City dungeon has been advanced to the fourth floor.

Yes, the boss of the third floor has been killed in advance by a certain pioneering team. Mu You was not too surprised about this. After all, his energy has been mostly focused on the Undead Society in the past few days. He didn't pay much attention to the dungeon. It was normal to be preempted once.

After a few days of adaptation, the pioneering team system organized by major forces is now basically mature. Everyone has experience. The lower the level, the higher the difficulty, and the progress tends to be gradually accelerated.

At this speed, it is estimated that the dungeon will be broken through within a week.

Mu You is very satisfied with this speed, so the dungeon did not take any extra measures, and everyone can play freely.

In addition, at about 7 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, everyone popped up a prompt in the game.

[Twilight City has been successfully activated, the first city lord: Holy Light Nana. 】

Another Sky City is activated, and the city lord ID is a name that many people are unfamiliar with. More importantly, this is another Chinese!

The international forum was in an uproar again, and the number of fair fighters who emerged increased sharply. Half of the eight cities were settled in China before, which was already too much. As a result, the ninth city is now China again, and the proportion of five-ninths directly exceeds the half line, which makes people from other countries completely uneasy.

The issue of whether Sky City should accept global players equally has been debated again, and it has a tendency to intensify, so that not many people care who the new city lord ‘Holy Light Nana’ is.

The members of the Mystic Association are quite calm about this, because they all know this ‘Holy Light Nana’, who is actually Libra’s substitute card.

Libra and Capricorn have said in the early morning meeting that they are preparing for the fight for Twilight City, and have also made an appointment with others for remote support. Now that they have successfully taken down the city lord, everyone is not surprised, and they have left messages to congratulate.

In this way, their Mystic Association finally has a second Sky City that belongs entirely to them.

About an hour later, Mu You received a private message from Libra and Capricorn, asking him for advice on the construction experience of Sky City.

Mu You did not hide anything, and directly sent them a copy of the construction sequence document that Jiuyou had given them before, and briefly told them about some of the pitfalls and accumulated experience he had encountered during the construction of Dawn City.

After dealing with the matters of Twilight City, it was already night in Japan, and it was completely dark outside.

Mu You changed into the herbalist skin that he rarely used, and went out in the dark wind.

Following the address given by Ye Rumeng, Mu You rushed all the way to Qingmu District next to Qiangu District, and found the residence of Ye Rumeng's family behind a commercial street.

This is a two-story building, but it is dark inside, the door is closed, and the yard is overgrown with weeds. It looks like no one has lived there for a long time.

Mu You walked to the door and took a look, and found that there were seals and notices posted in front of the door.

Muyou checked it with translation software, and the general idea was that the house had been nationalized and was going through the property disposal process. If you have any questions, please contact the phone number below.

"who are you looking for?"

Mu You was busy checking the translation software when a woman's voice suddenly sounded next to him.

Mu You turned around and saw a middle-aged woman looking at him warily at the door of the next room. She was carrying large and small bags of ingredients. She seemed to have just returned from get off work.

"I'm looking for someone from this family..."

Just as Mu You spoke, he remembered that he didn't speak Japanese.

Just as I was thinking about how to communicate, the other party suddenly spoke fluent Chinese: "Are you from China? So you are a relative of Mr. Ye's family?"

Mu You glanced at her, and after confirming that there was a player logo above her head, he shook his head and said, "I am Mr. Ye's friend in China, and I came here specifically to visit him this time."

"Ah? Well... Actually, Mr. Ye's family had a car accident a year ago, and all three members of the family died on the spot..." the woman sighed.

"Car accident?"

Mu You was stunned, this little girl had never told him.

"Wait, a family of three?"

Mu You immediately noticed this: "You mean there are only three people in their family?"

"Yes, Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye's wife, and their daughter." The woman looked at Mu You strangely, not quite understanding why he asked.

"Mr. Ye...have you had other daughters before?" Mu You tried to ask.

"You mean an illegitimate daughter?" The woman looked at him even more strangely and waved her hands hurriedly: "I don't know about this. I have lived here for more than ten years and I have only seen that little girl named Mengmeng... "

Only one daughter...

Mu You frowned. The little girl clearly said that Mianmian was her sister. How could her biological sister who had grown up with her not appear before?

Then Mu You didn't ask any more questions, and quietly cast the Forgetting Curse on the woman, making her forget what happened just now, and then left the scene and hid in the dark.

After the woman came to her senses and entered her home in a daze, Mu You turned back and sneaked into the building in front of her.

The room was fully stocked with all kinds of household items, and everything seemed to remain as it was before it was closed. Only a layer of dust on the table on the floor reminded him that no one had been here for a long time.

Mu You searched the room and quickly determined that this was indeed a family of three, and all the daily necessities were for three people. He also found a family photo album, which contained Ye Rumeng's photos from childhood to adulthood. In all the photos, only three members of the family appear repeatedly, and there is never any sign of the fourth family member.

The question is, is Mianmian a child of this family?

Did the little girl lie to him? Mianmian is not her sister?

But in the previous conversation between the two people from the Undead Society, they mentioned No. 14, which is Mianmian’s residence. It should be here...

After thinking about it, Mu You opened the lock cylinder space, found the little girl in the space, and took her out.

"Eh? Mu You, this is my home!"

Ye Rumeng appeared in the dim room. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly recognized something and started running around the room, rummaging around for her belongings.

"My pillow, my toys, my certificate... Mu You, come and see, this is my room..."

The little girl ran back to the room excitedly and subconsciously wanted to press the light in the room, but was stopped by Mu You.

"Mengmeng, what is the last scene you remember about your parents?" Mu You squatted down in front of her and asked seriously.

"parents……"

Ye Rumeng then calmed down, recalled for a few seconds, and said with some pain: "I remember that my father was driving, and the car suddenly flew up, and then...then, I don't remember anything..."

Mu You nodded, at least the memory about her family was correct.

"Your sister, have you been living here with you before?" Mu You asked again.

"Of course!" The little girl nodded firmly.

"Then why aren't there any of your sister's things here?" Mu You asked.

"Why not? My sister's things are... are..." The little girl subconsciously pointed to the room.

However, his fingers hung in the air for a long time, but they never stopped at any specific thing.

The little girl was stunned and ran to other rooms.

However, even after searching all the rooms, she could not find any proof of her sister's existence.

"how so……"

The little girl stood there blankly. After a while, she suddenly hugged her head in pain and became swaying.

"Muyou, my head hurts so much...I feel so sleepy..."

The little girl said as she fell to the side and was caught by Mu You in time.

Looking down, she had closed her eyes and fallen into a deep sleep, with a painful expression on her face.

Mu You sighed. Through Louise's diary, it can be determined that 'Mianmian' definitely exists and has been imprisoned by the Undead in that underground factory a long time ago. However, she and Ye Rumeng are not likely to be sisters.

The car accident that this family encountered might have been caused by the Undead Society, who used the car accident to cover up the kidnapping of the little girl.

Then, the little girl might have also entered the underground factory, and perhaps met Mianmian there, and something must have happened between the two.

In addition, the little girl's memory seemed to have been tampered with, so sometimes what she said was a little confusing. As for whether it was Mianmian who did it or the people of the Undead Society, he still didn't know.
