Chapter 375: One Thing Conquers Another

The final experiment lasted a full hour.

When the experiment was over, the shadows disappeared, and the two girls were expelled from it and returned to the surface, they had turned into two wriggling shadows.

"Yes, this is it! The first perfect piece I have been waiting for for thousands of years!"

The person behind the scenes was trembling with excitement as he controlled his own shadow to cover the larger shadow among them. At the same time, he hurriedly waved to the Magan man behind him: "Quickly, control the other one too!"

"yes!"

The Ma Gan man nodded, took out a glass bottle, walked quickly to another group of shadows, and reached out to grab the shadow.

As a result, before he could bend down, a beast-like roar suddenly came from the large shadow group next to him, and then a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out from it, transforming into a dark shadow ghost more than three meters high. When he appeared, he swung down his claws and directly smashed the Ma Gan man in front of him into a pulp.

This sudden change made the people behind the scene startled for a moment, and they hurriedly tried to control the shadows under their feet. However, after the violent shadow ghosts solved the Magan man, they immediately targeted him.

Before his shadow began to change, he raised his arm and slapped the man behind the scenes away.

The violent force caused the man behind the scenes to bleed from all his orifices instantly, and his body disintegrated and died while flying in the air.

A few seconds later, both of them were resurrected more than ten meters away.

"Impossible, how could this happen?" The Ma Gan man looked in horror at the shadow ghost in the distance who was dominated by rage and was smashing things around.

The shadow ghost that had just completed the 'experiment' was like a newborn baby. It should be extremely weak. How could it be so powerful right after birth? Moreover, it seems that he has broken free from the effects of the Shadow Binding?

"Nothing is impossible!"

The people behind the scenes looked at the shadow ghost in front of them, but they were even more excited: "Obviously, the experiment was more successful than we imagined! The shadow ghost in a perfect state can actually be so powerful, which is far beyond what we have seen before. The calculation...it seems that some of the experimental data need to be revised..."

"President, what should we do now?" asked the Ma Gan man.

"Go get the sealing box first and seal it."

"yes!"

…

While the two of them were busy fighting against the violent shadow ghosts, neither of them noticed that another shadow on the ground transformed into the silhouette of a girl with a bob hair. Like a fish, it began to swim on the ground and quietly swam all the way to the edge of the high platform. In front of the box, he got in through the gap in the box...

In the dark hospital corridor, Ye Rumeng stared blankly at the shadows on the ground, then turned to look at the window next to her.

Reflected in the glass, she had transformed into another person, with waist-length black hair and red eyes... Only then did she realize that she had already transformed back into the person she had been when she ran through the darkness just now. Mianmian's appearance.

"Mengmeng..."

Mianmian hurriedly turned around and looked at the tall shadow ghost blocking her in front of her, unable to hide her tears of sadness.

The innocent girl she once was turned into what she is now...

She subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch Shadow Ghost, but after Shadow Ghost noticed her movement, he suddenly hid aside, and at the same time let out a low and painful cry, seeming to warn and beg her not to stop. near.

"Mengmeng?"

Mianmian was stunned and stood there at a loss. She did not expect that Mengmeng would resist her approach, which made her unexpected.

"really……"

The middle-aged man immersed in the cylindrical device in the distance suddenly laughed when he saw this scene.

"What do you know?" Mianmian gritted her teeth and looked at the middle-aged man. She knew that this man must be more aware of Mengmeng's changes than she was.

"I have to admit, your fusion is even more perfect than I expected!"

The middle-aged man said: "Generally, one of the experimental subjects helps the other bear the pain, but the shadows of the two still exist independently. But your group is different. She not only helped you absorb all the shadows. The painful part, while also transferring all the beautiful parts of my own shadow to you!”

"So, your shadows are actually divided into two parts after merging with each other. However, one part contains all hatred and pain, and the other part only leaves kindness and beauty. It is precisely because the separation is pure enough, The shadow ghost created is so perfect!”

"And now, if you touch it, your shadows will be re-integrated and distributed, and the painful memories you have been separated from will return to you like a brand. It doesn't want you to bear even the slightest bit of pain. , or in other words, the meaning of its existence is to help you bear the pain. From the moment it was born, this has become its instinct, and of course it will avoid you. "

"Mengmeng..."

Hearing this, Mianmian burst into tears again, looking distressedly at the shadow ghost who was carefully avoiding her. Even though she had lost her memory and turned into a monster with only instincts, she was still guarding her last obsession.

"Although I sealed the shadow ghost at that time, without the existence of you as a 'controller', I still couldn't use it for my own use."

The middle-aged man continued to speak in a calm tone, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him: "So I spent a lot of effort looking for you, and for this reason I did not hesitate to throw this shadow ghost out as a bait, and with the Celestial Dynasty We had some cooperation with the organization and almost caught you midway, and even installed a positioning device on you. However, we didn’t expect that your ability was so difficult, and that organization was so useless that it not only lost the Shadow Ghost, Even my own organization was destroyed, causing all the clues to disappear..."

Mu You listened silently to the other party's explanation. The 'Celestial Organization' in the other party's mouth should refer to the Illuminati.

It seems that the reason why the Shadow Ghost Box appeared in the hands of the Illuminati in the first place was to attract the little girl to show up, and it seemed that it almost succeeded. The positioning necklace on her body should have been installed at that time.

Fortunately, the little girl's elusive dreaming ability was strong enough, and she escaped. After that, there was an internal rebellion within the Illuminati, and the Shadow Ghost Box fell into his hands by accident.

It was no coincidence that the little girl appeared in his shop before, but she was attracted by the Shadow Ghost Box. She and the Box Shadow Ghost are intertwined with each other and have an endless connection. No matter how far apart they are, fate and cause and effect will always bring them together.

"After that, I tried many times to find other children with a deep enough bond to restore the experimental process of your group. Unfortunately, even if I tried every means to simulate your situation, I could never replicate your situation. A miracle." The middle-aged man shook his head with emotion: "Otherwise, I should have completely controlled the Shadow God now and become the only true god on this continent. How could these things happen later? What a pity... "

"Are these your last words?"

Mu You breathed out and already took out the wand.

"Last words?"

The middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at him, smiled bitterly, and did not defend himself. Instead, he looked down at the circle of shadow ghosts in front of the device.

"These shadow ghosts are all high-quality shadow ghosts that I have personally cultivated over the years. Although they are not as powerful as No. 14, each of them has a strength close to the legendary level."

Mu You looked at him with a strange expression: "You don't think that relying on the protection of these shadow ghosts can keep you alive, do you?"

It would be troublesome to deal with so many shadow ghosts, but he now had the shadow pom-poms in his hand. Even if he couldn't defeat them, he could simply purify them all. In front of the shadow pom-poms, these shadow ghosts would be no different from ordinary shadows.

What's more, to kill the opponent, you don't need to fight the Shadow Ghost at all. You can just smash the opponent's life-saving device, and Deathstroke's suppressive power will naturally destroy him.

"of course not."

The middle-aged man shook his head: "You can even deal with a complete shadow god, let alone a few hundred shadow ghosts. From the moment the shadow god was defeated, I never thought about fighting you again."

"Then what are you doing?"

"These shadow ghosts are the gifts I prepared for you."

The middle-aged man said: "The quality of the shadow pom-pom's growth depends on its swallowing of shadows. If the shadow fed is too poor, its growth rate will be extremely slow. Feed all these high-quality shadows to the shadow pom-pom, which should be enough to keep it alive. "Infancy."

"Oh? You want to bribe me?" Mu You understood instantly.

"That's understandable. Anyway, I want to make a deal with you."

"What deal?" Mu You was not in a hurry to make a move, intending to listen to what the other party wanted to say.

"As you can see, I have lost my shadow ball and all my strength. I have become a waning old man. It is even difficult for me to protect myself. I no longer pose any threat to you. Now I only hope to Spend the last period of your old age as an ordinary person."

The middle-aged man looked at Mu Youyou: "And in return for letting me go, in addition to these shadows, I will also give you the results of my research over the years! I have been researching here for more than a thousand years. , It’s not in vain. In the process of cultivating shadow pom-poms, I discovered some secrets about ‘gods’ and even the truth about this world!”

As if to confirm that what he said was true, the middle-aged man hurriedly added two sentences after speaking: "For example, it is obvious that one can obtain unlimited life span in the star spirit world, but why has no truly immortal person appeared so far? Another example is , the life spans of various races in the Star Spirit Realm seem to be long, but the real history that can be studied is pitifully short, only less than four thousand years, and the history beyond that is a blur, leaving almost no substance. Sexual records, why?”

The middle-aged man looked at Mu You confidently: "I believe you will be interested in these things. As long as you sign the contract, I will tell you everything I know. How about it?"

No one who has eternal life?

Mu You frowned when he heard this. He had not paid much attention to this before. Now that he thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was true that at least among the human race, he had not seen any immortal people. The one who lived the longest seemed to be The elders of the Wizards Association only have a life span of more than a thousand years.

Mu You pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, I refuse."

"Reject?" The middle-aged man was a little incredulous: "You are a fool. Exploring true knowledge should be something engraved in your bones. How could you refuse?"

"Because I will discover the truth myself, and I don't necessarily need to know it from you." Mu Youyou. The main reason is these two questions raised by the other party. Even if they know it, it will not directly improve him. Eternal life is too far away from him. He can explore it slowly when he has time in the future.

"That... is really a pity..."

The middle-aged man sighed, as if he understood his fate, and stopped struggling.

"Snap!"

In front of the device, one of the chains that bound the shadow ghost suddenly broke.

The shadow ghost was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that he had gained freedom, but he did not immediately go crazy and make a scene. Instead, he slowly turned around and looked at the middle-aged man in the device, revealing his fierce appearance.

"Snap, snap, snap..."

Then more chains next to him broke one after another.

Hundreds of shadow ghosts were all freed at this moment.

All the shadow ghosts turned around at the same time and looked at the cylindrical device surrounded in the center, with strong violence and hatred emanating from them.

"Bang!"

As the first shadow ghost took the lead, the cylindrical device shattered, and the middle-aged man was rushed out along with the liquid in it, and was pressed into the ground by the shadow ghost with a slap.

The other shadow ghosts around also roared in anger, and then rushed towards the middle-aged man...

In the next few minutes, hundreds of shadow ghosts surrounded the middle-aged man and launched an inhumane massacre.

The middle-aged man kept resurrecting and dying, and the shadow ghosts that changed into various forms on the way were all useless, until all the shadow ghosts' skin was consumed, and he turned back to his original appearance, a gray-haired, old man.

The man behind the scenes did not try any more resistance, and kept silent throughout the whole process, allowing the shadow ghost's claws to tear at his body. He was torn into pieces again and again, resurrected, died, and resurrected again, until his life was completely exhausted...

A few minutes later, a group of violent shadow ghosts in the distance finally had no targets to vent their anger on. However, after eliminating the culprit, they were still not satisfied, and soon turned around and aimed at the three people.

"It's impossible to control them if you keep them, so purify them all."

Looking at the black group of shadow ghosts rushing over in front, Mu You shook his head and threw the shadow ball.

The shadow ball landed in front of the three people, facing the group of shadow ghosts rushing towards it, and immediately opened its mouth. A strange wave emanated from it. This wave had no effect on people, but it was a nemesis to the surrounding shadow ghosts.

Under this wave, all the shadow ghosts stood still, a large amount of black gas emerged from them, disappeared in the air, and the shadow ghosts shrank rapidly.

In just a dozen seconds, all the shadow ghosts turned into a group of ordinary shadows, bumping around on the ground like headless flies, and were finally swallowed by the shadow ball one by one into the shadow space as a reserve food for the next year.

Of course, not all the shadow ghosts were purified and disappeared. The box shadow ghosts around Mu You and others still maintained their original size after experiencing that wave, and seemed to have no change.

The shadow ball quickly shifted its attention to the only remaining shadow ghost on the scene.

The shadow ball jumped in front of the shadow ghost, opened its mouth towards it, and emitted a stronger wave of purification.

However, no matter how hard it tried, the shadow ghost in front of it did not move at all.

After two unsuccessful attempts, the shadow ball seemed to be unable to hold on. Its little face wrinkled into a ball, and it looked like it was holding its breath, as if it was trying to accumulate a bigger wave.

But before it was ready, the shadow ghost above became impatient and suddenly slapped it. The shadow ball bounced back and forth between the ground and the shadow ghost's palm like a ball for more than a dozen times. When it stopped, it was completely dizzy, fuzzy, and its facial features were flattened.

The shadow ghost was still not satisfied. He held the shadow ball in his hands with both hands and kneaded it like a piece of plasticine until he had enough fun and then threw it away.

As soon as the shadow ball landed, it jumped back into Mu You's shadow in a hurry, and quickly got into the shadow, never daring to show up again.

The three people were watching with interest, but Mian Mian suddenly felt heavy eyelids and fell straight forward. Fortunately, Mu You caught it quickly.

Looking down, Mu You found that she had actually fallen asleep. This narcolepsy can occur anytime and anywhere without any signs.

"Roar!"

The shadow ghost next to him suddenly roared, staring at Mu You with black air surging all over his body, baring his teeth and claws.

"What are you doing? It's none of my business. She fell asleep by herself!" Mu You said hurriedly.

"Roar!"

The shadow ghost roared again, this time with a longer voice, as if he wanted to express something.

"Don't worry, I will take her back to the pet shop and won't abandon her."

Mu You naturally didn't understand what the shadow ghost said, but after all, he had been with this guy for a long time, and he could probably guess what it wanted to say. The shadow ghost's IQ is not high, and it can't tell the good from the bad in the human world, but it and the little girl have lived in the pet shop for a long time, and there is only a safe place that the shadow ghost recognizes.

"Woo..." The shadow ghost hummed this time, and seemed to be satisfied with Mu You's answer, and put away the hostility in his body.

"What about you? What are your plans next?"

Mu You looked at the shadow ghost again, took out the shadow ghost box, opened the lid and handed it to it: "If you are worried about her, why not come back with me and you can take care of her yourself."

As soon as the sealed box appeared, the shadow ghost took a step back with some caution. After hesitating for a few seconds, he suddenly slapped the box and flew it out.

Then the shadow ghost jumped directly behind Mu You, turned into a black shadow, and got into Mu You's shadow.

Mu You hurriedly checked the shadow.

At this moment, in the shadow room, the shadow ghost was persecuting the shadow ball, chasing it all over the ground. After catching it, it treated it as a decompression toy and held it in its arms and kneaded it wantonly.

"It's true that one thing conquers another..."

Mu You shook his head with a smile, got up and walked to the cylindrical device in the distance, picking up the scattered shadow ghost remnants on the ground.

However, just as he was busy picking up the spoils, a blue ghost suddenly floated above the broken device on the side.

Mu You was stunned, turned his head and took a look, and was speechless: "You are so tough, you are not dead like this?"

The soul that appeared at this time was the residual soul of the old man behind the scenes just now, but this residual soul was already looming, extremely weak, and could dissipate at any time.

The condition for the appearance of a residual soul is that when a person dies, if there is still some strong hatred or obsession in the spirit that has not been completed, there is a certain probability that a residual soul will be formed, but if this residual soul is not preserved in a special container in time, it will still dissipate quickly.

"I did intend to be free... But until I died, I realized that I was still unwilling to study something for a lifetime... Just disappear with me silently... Without leaving any trace..." The residual soul said intermittently.

"So?" Mu You raised his eyebrows.

"So... Just think of it as a reward for you stopping the reappearance of the Shadow God and saving the world... The innermost side of the Guchi high platform, the third floor tile from the north, fifteen meters below... Everything I studied... is stored there..."
