Chapter 225 Arrogant Shadow
After Mo Qiong turned on the light, he immediately checked the surroundings. After making sure there were no shadows nearby, he then checked the sealing degree of the containment box.
This cubic cage was designed by him at the request of the Research Department. Its quality was undeniable, and its opening edge was made of soft mud-like adsorbent material.
Press it on a flat surface and it will snap tightly immediately, without any gaps showing through.
Even if the plane is not very regular, the layer of soft mud will check for defects and fill in the uneven places.
It is impossible for a shadow to penetrate the gaps between molecules. Even if it has a theoretical thickness of zero, it can only move on a flat surface.
Just like shining a flashlight on the wall in a room, there are countless molecular gaps in the wall, but it is impossible for the person on the other side of the wall to be shadowed by this light beam.
If the shadow can really pass through the wall, why is it still sliding on the wall? Wouldn't it be better to sneak in directly from the wall?
The person in charge of monitoring confirmed that no projection was seen on nearby buildings, which meant that the shadow did not escape from the warehouse. Of course, it's not absolute. If the shadow ignores it and forcibly runs out from under a piece of cargo that stands on the bottom, it is then imprinted on the skylight. Then it runs out of the skylight and is projected directly into the atmosphere.
But the risk is too great. It is difficult to come back when walking under the clouds. If it is moving in the clouds and the shadow accidentally rushes out of the atmosphere and enters the universe... then it will never come back.
Mo Qiong made two preparations. It would be good if he could cover it at once. If it wasn't covered, he would actually throw out a hair at the same time as the containment ball. There really is an unexposed way to escape, and Mo Qiong will be able to follow Mao to find it sooner or later.
It looked like I was combing my messy hair just now, but I actually saw the hair that was belatedly arriving from the sky and floating down.
Her hair was floating on the cube, and her progress was interrupted by Mo Qiong. From this, she was completely sure that the shadow was covered underneath.
Everyone quickly started to cut up the ground. There was a layer of rubber on the floor of the warehouse. They carried it away together with the rubber belt and the ink, transported it into a closed carriage, and sent it to a nearby stronghold.
There, they prepared a secret room to contain this shadow.
Mo Qiong looked at the box, which he had been sitting on before, just in case the shadow turned into a human and came out.
However, Chris didn't do this. I don't know if it was because he couldn't do it, or because he was afraid that he would be killed immediately when he came out. After all, Chris is an ordinary person in terms of personality.
When they arrived at the stronghold, Mo Qiong asked, "How is Yan Wei?"
"First of all, it's temporary blindness..." People from the medical team came over. He lowered his head and reported to the girl in front of him, who was up to his belly.
"Is it temporary? Does it mean it can be cured?" Mo Qiong raised his neck and asked.
"Yes, even if it is not temporary, we can cure it. Because human cloning is taboo, even we are not allowed to clone complete and thoughtful people. Therefore, our research in this area can only be biased towards bionic organs, resulting in Our medical skills are very powerful, even if she is blind, we can replace it," the doctor said confidently.
Mo Qiong hummed and said, "That's good."
"By the way, light radiation brought heat directly into her body, greatly increasing her radiation intake. Just the short period of strong light exposure before caused her to absorb more than a thousand millisieverts. The amount of radiation killed a large number of her white blood cells and caused her to lose extensive hair. But fortunately, she is now in the dark room and we have taken radiation protection measures, so the situation will not get worse," the doctor added.
Mo Qiong nodded and said: "If you lose your hair, just transplant it again..."
"Uh...I don't know how to do hair transplantation." The doctor said awkwardly.
"What? You can cure blindness, but you can't cure hair loss?" Mo Qiong said confused.
"Well, I really haven't studied this aspect, but there may be people in other big bases who know it." After all, he is just a doctor in a small base. If you want to say about amputating hands and feet, atrial hemorrhage, etc., he will definitely know it. It's a basic skill. But hair loss...he really doesn't know how to do this.
Mo Qiong raised his neck and looked at him, thinking to himself, what have you learned?
The doctor was a little embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Actually, she can't receive treatment. After all, she can't see the light. If we can't solve the problem of her shadow, we can't operate on her in a dark room, right?"
"Night vision or something..." Mo Qiong said.
"No, that's a real dark room. There's very little invisible light. If we want us to see, we have to have infrared rays, right? But infrared rays will also bring radiation to her," the doctor said.
If you take an airplane, you will take in 0.03 millisieverts of radiation, and if you take an X-ray, you will take in about 0.1 millisieverts. Above one hundred millisieverts, the number of white blood cells in the blood will decrease.
If it exceeds one thousand, there will be mild symptoms such as fatigue, vomiting, anorexia, and hair loss.
If it exceeds 2,000, the bone marrow will become diseased, red and white blood cells will decrease sharply, and even internal bleeding will occur.
In just a moment, Yan Wei suffered from mild radiation sickness. If it had been longer, she might have developed cancer.
Only in the dark room prepared by the Blue and White Society can we ensure that it does not deteriorate. Otherwise, even if we stay in a dark place, the amount of radiation in our body will still slowly increase!
Over time, you will be troubled by various diseases.
Of course, Blue and White Society can treat even cancer, as long as it is not at an advanced stage that is hopeless.
But that's not how the accounts were calculated. Mo Qiong knew very well that once Yan Wei's radiation dose was higher and she got cancer, Yi Bo would definitely tell lies on the channel: "Yan Wei is dead."
"Mo Qiong, it's contained!" You Xin shouted from the stronghold.
Mo Qiong walked over and came to a large screen. What was displayed on the screen was the secret room where the shadow was kept.
There is a cube covered in the secret room. Even if the cube is opened now, if the shadow is inside, he cannot escape.
"Is the shadow really inside? If we are so aggressive, it won't be empty inside, right?" You Xin asked worriedly.
"Can't you tell if you open it and take a look? The shadows of Yan Wei and others are still on it. We need to interrogate it anyway." Mo Qiong said. In fact, he was 100% sure in his heart that they were inside. Her hair has proven it.
You Xin said hello, and someone immediately controlled a mechanical arm in the secret room and opened the cube.
In the empty secret room, a shadow on the ground slid out of the cube.
"It's really taken into custody!" You Xin was overjoyed.
Not only that, other peripheral personnel were also surprised and looked at Mo Qiong frequently.
A prejudgment has covered the shadow, but on the other hand, they still have to go to so much trouble to surround.
When it comes to the previous containment of the warehouse, the main force was actually Yan Wei, and the peripheral personnel were just checking for deficiencies and filling in the gaps to form a siege network to prevent Yan Wei from making mistakes.
With Yan Wei's strength, she could hold the containment box and cover the shadow. After all, she had already deduced clearly during the meeting how to capture them.
However, I didn't expect that the shadow could tear off the shadow. As Yan Wei moved closer, her own shadow also passed by, and Chris was also a thief. The first person to get rid of him was the most threatening one in the encirclement.
But Mo Qiong learned his lesson, turned off the lights and killed blindly, succeeding in one fell swoop. Chris didn't even have a chance to fight back.
"Give me the microphone." Mo Qiong said.
The peripheral personnel immediately handed over the microphone, which was connected to the secret room, allowing Mo Qiong to interrogate it directly outside.
"K...uh...what's the number of this shadow?"
"Tentative 1008."
Mo Qiong nodded. The contained objects in the exercise were all directly numbered after one thousand.
"1008, no doubt, this is your code name, and I will call you by this code name now." Mo Qiong said coquettishly.
I saw the shadow in the secret room sliding from the ground to the wall, and then circling all the way from the wall. After not finding any exit, it stopped in place.
Although it was just a shadow, the shadow did have a clear outline of a woman, and even looked quite impatient.
Mo Qiong has several guesses as to why the containment mission has not ended yet.
One of the shadows, naturally Yan Wei and others, was not recovered. In this mission, Yi Bo asked Darwin's team to find a way to retrieve the shadows of Yan Wei and others before the mission would end, otherwise they would not be able to see the light of day in the future.
There is another conjecture, that is, this shadow is not a contained object, but a derivative. The shadow is Chris's shadow, but Chris himself did not turn into a shadow, but like Yanwei who was deprived of her shadow, hiding somewhere in the city without a shadow.
In other words, Chris only sent his shadow, but he didn't come.
The latter is easy to do. You can just search the whole city to find people without a shadow, or you can just look for a otaku who stays at home and hides in her room all day long.
Mo Qiong ordered people to go down and have the whole city inspect and secretly investigate. At the same time, he planned to do both, and find a way to get the shadow of Yan Wei and others.
"I can believe that you can't speak, but can't you hear me?" Mo Qiong asked.
After listening to Mo Qiong's milky voice, the shadow stretched out a hand to gesture to his thigh, as if to say: You are only as high as my leg...
"..." Mo Qiong resisted the urge to curse, turned off the microphone first, and then said angrily: "Asshole!"
You Xin also laughed and said: "This guy! It's definitely Chris! Hahaha, he saw you jumping from the skylight before, and he may not know you yet, but after we call you Mo Qiong, he must know that little Luo It’s you Li!”
"Don't make any noise!" Mo Qiongjiao scolded, then turned on the microphone and said: "Okay, 1008, since you can hear me, you should know the current situation. I can make it more clear to you..."
As he spoke, he explained the responsibilities and powers of the Blue and White Society in a routine manner, and made it clear that he was currently in a situation. Unless he could hand over the containment, he would basically be imprisoned permanently.
"1008, you abused the containment items to steal and killed six people. If you show up now, we can also give you some food and water. Depending on the situation, you can still live under certain restrictions in the future. On the contrary, we can only treat the shadow as Treat you like this, do you want to be locked up in a dark room for the rest of your life?"
I saw the shadow spreading its hands, and I don't know whether it was to express that it didn't matter, or to say that it couldn't show up.
As long as he is a shadow, there is really nothing anyone can do to him.
Mo Qiong said: "Can the shadow you deprived me of be returned?"
The shadow on the wall thought for a while, then nodded sideways.
Mo Qiong immediately said: "Why pay it back?"
The shadow gestures to two scissor hands. One hand is standing, representing a person, and the other is lying down, representing a shadow. The two scissor hands intersect vertically to indicate that the person needs to be present.
"Do you need to stay at the feet of the person who has lost his shadow to return?" Mo Qiong asked.
Shadow turned sideways and nodded.
"No problem, I'll bring people in now." Mo Qiong said.
Unexpectedly, the shadow waved his hand, and then pointed at the empty surroundings on the wall.
Mo Qiong wrinkled his nose and said, "You... want us to let you go before you are willing to return it?"
Shadow nodded.
After a moment of silence, Mo Qiong said sinisterly: "You return it first, and I will let you go."
'I' will let you go, but you can't escape the control of the Blue and White Society.
But this obviously can't fool Shadow.
Shadow heard it, spread his hands, shook his head, and made a gesture of embracing his hands on his chest, then stood directly in the corner, facing the speaker with his back to the wall.
This performance obviously means: I don't believe it, you let me go first, if you don't let me go, then we won't talk.
"It's up to you, if you don't want to talk, then we won't talk." Mo Qiong turned off the microphone.
...
P.S: Sorry.
