Chapter 365 Space Crack Opens

"The trace of the shadow ghost was found at No. 5-23, Shangjing District. Please rush to support the nearby team members immediately!"

Mu You looked at the message received on the phone, turned on the map mode, and checked the location.

As expected, the location where the shadow ghost appeared was located in the eastern area of ​​​​Qiangu District, just in the opposite direction of his current location.

Mu You naturally ignored this. These shadow ghosts were used to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and let others deal with it. His current task was to find the location of the space crack in the shortest time.

Mu You sent the sleeping little girl back to the lock core space, and then left the building in the night.

These shadow people cannot exist for too long in the state of pure shadows. Most of the time, they can only exist in human form and need to eat, drink and sleep like ordinary people.

The purpose of the person behind the scenes is to return to the Star Spirit Realm through the crack as soon as the space crack opens. Then there is a greater possibility that he will hide near the space crack and wait for the crack to open.

According to the conversation between the two people heard in the Gu Pool, the space crack is near the little girl's house. The two people did not mention how far this "nearby" is, and temporarily use the range of 500 meters nearby as the boundary.

Mu You drew a circle along the location of Ye Rumeng's house on the paper map.

Next, he planned to conduct a carpet search in this circle to find people who are not players.

Five hundred meters in radius seems to be a large range, but fortunately, the population in this area is not too dense, and there is an omniscient crystal. He only needs to take a close look at everyone to confirm whether they are players.

This work took a whole night, but until the next day when the sun was high in the sky and all the residents nearby started to go to work and school normally, he still did not find any suspicious people.

"Did I guess wrong? That person is not squatting nearby?"

Mu You stood on the roof of a tall building, looking at the dense flow of people on the road below and thinking.

Of course, he also searched the suspicious areas nearby that night, and also did not find any space cracks. When this thing is not turned on, it seems that there will be no strange phenomena at all. In other words, even if someone passes by it, it is impossible to see that it is a space crack.

So if you want to find the space crack, you can only find the person behind the scenes first, but this guy hides very well, and the most important thing is that the time is too short, and there is no time to conduct a large-scale search, which has led to a deadlock in this matter.

In this way, he can only synchronize this information first, let the Japanese government send a large number of people to block this area, and then slowly search. Although this will alert the enemy, it can at least prevent the other party from escaping directly tonight.

"Huh?"

Just as Mu You took out his mobile phone and hesitated whether to make the information public, his sight was suddenly attracted by a piece of yellow on the road below.

It was a group of elementary school students wearing yellow hats, who were crossing the road collectively under the leadership of their teacher.

This scene made Mu You startled and suddenly realized something.

He checked the game IDs of all nearby residents last night, but not everyone entered the game. There is also a hard age requirement for applying for the activation code of "The Fool".

That is to say, if that person disguised himself as a child, he would not be able to see it with the omniscience crystal.

However, he had noticed the children around here last night. There were no children living alone. They all lived with their guardians. Their parents were normal people, and there was no problem. If these children had been missing for more than a month, it was impossible for their parents not to report it to the police...

Wait...

Mu You suddenly remembered something.

He seemed to know a child who had been missing but was not registered by Japan.

Sayaka!

The person mentioned in Louise's diary, judging from the name and description, seemed to be a child in Japan, but there was no record in the missing persons database.

There was no missing information, which meant that the person was still in Japan. A person who had been clearly arrested and imprisoned in the Undead Society was still living normally in the local area. The only possibility was that she was already a shadow person!

Thinking of this, Mu You immediately contacted Lu Yao with an old mobile phone.

"Hello?"

"Help me check something else."

"What to check?"

"Elementary schools in Tokyo, the registration list of all students, looking for a student named 'Sayaka' among them."

"Tokyo?"

Lu Yao's incredulous voice came from the phone: "Brother, you are now reaching out to foreign countries?"

"Don't worry about the details, just tell me if you can check it."

"It can be checked, but do you know how many elementary schools there are in Tokyo? You only gave me a name, and it's a popular name like 'Sayaka', how can I check it!" Lu Yao complained.

"Don't worry, it won't be too difficult to check. This child is eight years old, and about a year ago, he had a long record of absence from school." Mu You reported the information calculated from the diary.

"Oh, that's okay..."

"How long will it take?"

"About a day." Lu Yao said.

"No, it's too long. I have to get the result before this afternoon. It's useless if I'm late." Mu You said.

"Afternoon... I'm alone, and I have hundreds of school servers. Do you really think I'm a god?"

"Can't do it?"

"It's not that I can't do it, it's simply impossible! Go and ask anyone. If anyone can do it, I'll call you my dad!" Lu Yao said confidently.

"A blue suit." Mu You said.

"Damn..."

The other party was silent for a while, and after a long while, he managed to say: "...You are rich!"

"So can we get the result before this afternoon?" Mu You confirmed. If she couldn't do it, he could only seek cooperation with the Japanese government. However, the problem was that the wider the news spread, the more likely it would alert the enemy.

"It's not impossible, but it requires some unconventional means... But it's the system of the book anyway, and I don't have any psychological burden to mess with them..." Lu Yao muttered to herself, and after saying a few terms that Mu You didn't understand, she hung up the phone.

...

Just when Mu You and Lu Yao were plotting the action, accidents happened frequently in Japan.

Today's Tokyo seems to be particularly lively. Since the first shadow ghost appeared on the streets of Tokyo in the early morning, the shadow people who had been hiding before began to appear one after another in various parts of Japan.

The masters from the Japanese Defense Agency and the exchange group ran back and forth like firefighters, constantly dealing with the shadow ghosts that appeared.

Of course, such busy work is not without gain. At 3 pm, the troops on both sides finally found the hiding place of the Fengleimen members according to the trajectory of one of the shadow ghosts when it escaped, and captured all of them in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, all those caught were peripheral members, and nothing could be asked from them, and those core members would soon become corpses as long as they fell into their hands.

"These guys, are they too cruel to kill them?"

Looking at the shadow in front of them that just wailed and dissipated again, a member of the Dragon Group could not help complaining. This is the tenth shadow man they have caught today, but none of them can be left alive.

"The other party is willing to throw out so many chess pieces to self-destruct, which can only mean that they have other goals!" The Blood Emperor shook his head and said, "This is forcibly diverting our attention and leaving us no time to care about other things."

The others looked at each other and nodded. After a day, even the most dull people could feel that the other party was deliberately sneaking them around.

"Yes, but this is an open plot. Even if we guess that the other party has other intentions, there is nothing we can do." Director Wang sighed. The ultimate goal of their trip is to eliminate all shadow ghosts. Every hidden shadow ghost is a time bomb. Although they are now in another country, no one knows when they will move to the country to retaliate, so as long as the shadow ghost shows up, they can only choose to clear the mines first.

"However, the cost of the other party's open plot is not low."

Blood Emperor said: "How many shadow people can they consume with such a self-destruction method?"

"The other party dares to sacrifice their subordinates so happily, which only means that they don't need these chess pieces anymore. It is estimated that they are ready to abandon the car to save the king and let the mastermind behind the scenes evacuate the earth." Director Wang pondered and said: "In this way, there may be a more concentrated outbreak waiting for us tonight!"

Others were shocked when they heard this. The current frequency of appearance has already made them a little anxious. What will be the extent of a larger outbreak?

"It's good this way. The mastermind took the initiative to withdraw, which means he doesn't want to confront us head-on. This is a manifestation of concession, which saves us a lot of effort. It's best to solve the problem tonight." said the Blood Emperor.

...

A few hours later, the facts proved that Director Wang's guess was indeed fulfilled.

At midnight that night, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in Tokyo.

A total of sixteen shadow ghosts appeared in major commercial areas at the same time, nine of which were human-shaped shadow ghosts and seven were giant shadow ghosts.

The human-shaped shadow ghosts were okay, they had rational existence, and after appearing, they basically fled around while being chased, and the actual damage they caused was not that strong.

The trouble is the giant shadow ghosts, these things are equivalent to prehistoric monsters appearing on the streets of the city, without thoughts, only knowing how to destroy. As long as they appear, the local streets will soon be razed to the ground.

Although Director Wang had reminded before that there might be a big wave tonight, the Japanese side still underestimated the strength of the enemy's counterattack.

The Fenglei Clan had obviously detonated the last remaining force, causing the entire Tokyo to become a mess. The ground was shaking, flames were shooting up into the sky, explosions were heard continuously, and a large number of residents rushed to the streets to flee. Cries and screams were heard everywhere, and it was a scene of doomsday.

"Director Wang, do you think your group should also arrange some people to support these large shadow ghosts?"

Hayata Makiyama looked at the messy streets outside the window, sweating and holding up the phone for help.

"President Hayata, this is what we have discussed before. If something happens tonight, our people will be responsible for chasing those shadow people, and the shadow ghosts will be left to you to deal with, right?" Director Wang's voice came from the phone.

"That's right, but... no one thought there would be so many shadow ghosts before!"

Hayata Makiyama's face was full of bitterness. Seven shadow ghosts, each of which has epic destructive power. Their entire defense society, including the player troops that can be mobilized by the civilians, can only deal with three at the limit. Seven, let them fight with their heads!

"President Hayata, this is what you have to deal with. Don't forget, although the shadow ghosts may seem powerful, they have no thoughts after all. Once they are eliminated, it will be over once and for all. And these shadow people who are intelligent and can hide are the real threat to both of us, because if we let them escape, they may continue to create new shadow ghosts in the future. So, I think you understand which task is more important."

The voice on the phone silenced Hayata. Indeed, he knew in his heart that the shadow ghosts were only the pain on the surface, and those shadow people would be more harmful in the future if they were not eradicated.

Unfortunately, people are often short-sighted, especially since this happened in their territory. They have to consider not only which side will cause greater harm in the future, but also the current social opinion and the reaction of the people.

If these shadow ghosts are not handled properly and cause huge casualties in the country, the spit of the people alone can drown them.

However, these things are exactly what the other exchange group does not need to consider. They only need to complete their tasks and remove things that threaten their country. As for the rest, let your local floods afterwards, what does it have to do with them?

At this moment, Hayata understood everything, but he did not dare to complain openly. He could only ask for good words, hoping that the exchange group would come back to help them as soon as possible after solving those shadow people.

Director Wang naturally agreed to this, and the two sides hung up the phone in a "pleasant" exchange.

At midnight, half an hour after the shadow ghosts broke out, Tokyo was still in chaos.

Aoki District, as one of the few areas not affected by the chaos, can still remain relatively calm at this moment.

In a residential building, a little girl got up from her bed late at night.

The girl was calm beyond her age. The faint shouts and explosions outside did not cause any ripples on her face at all.

The girl got up expressionlessly, dressed and washed, and made herself clean and tidy. Finally, she changed into sneakers and a black dress. After looking at her watch, she took the flashlight prepared on the table, quietly opened the door and walked out.

The girl calmly went downstairs in the dark and came to the door of the first floor.

However, when she reached out to touch the door handle, a woman's voice sounded behind her.

"Sayaka, where are you going?"

The woman was startled, hurried over and pulled the girl back: "It's very chaotic outside tonight. The news said that you should stay at home as much as possible, but you are still running around!"

The girl was pulled back to the living room by the woman, still without saying a word, but just looked up and stared at the woman, which made the woman a little creepy.

"What's wrong? Why don't you talk? You've been a little strange these days. Since you came back from going out on Tuesday night, you seem to have suddenly become a different person. I haven't seen you smile since then. Are you sick or uncomfortable?" The woman asked worriedly.

The woman subconsciously went to press the light switch.

But just as she turned around, a sharp claw pierced her throat from behind.

The woman fell to the ground, covering her bleeding neck, looking at the girl behind her in disbelief. She wanted to speak but couldn't make a sound.

"Thank you for taking care of me for the past three days."

The girl made a childish voice, shook off the blood on her arm expressionlessly, and then turned around and opened the door to leave the building in the woman's horrified and desperate eyes.

After going out, the girl put on her hood and completely blended into the night in black.

The girl walked out of the yard and went to a park not far from the building. She stopped in a corner of the park, with black air surging all over her body. She stretched out her hand and pushed away several thick bluestone slabs on the ground, revealing a dry well hidden below.

After looking around and confirming that there was no one around, the girl jumped into the dry well.

A wide passage had been dug at the bottom of the well. The girl walked in quickly with a flashlight.

All the way to the deepest part of the passage, at the end in front, a narrow blue space crack stood on the stone wall there. From the crack, a completely unfamiliar night scene appeared, like an open eye, looking at the underground environment from another world.

After confirming that the crack had been opened, the girl turned off the flashlight and walked quickly towards the light in front.

However, just as she was about to crack, she suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis coming from her side, and hurriedly rolled to the side.

The next moment, a sickle nailed to the place where she had just stood.

At the same time, the girl noticed that a figure suddenly appeared in front of the entrance of the crack in front, blocking her way.

"It turns out that the space crack is hidden in this place. No wonder no one has found it for so many years."

Because this real-life plot in Japan is more sensitive, the outline has been deleted and modified. A plot of fighting wits and courage with Feng Leimen was deleted, and the result was quickly jumped to the end, so the rhythm of this chapter is a bit faster.
