"?"

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

But 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 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 you...]

[You feel a strong pressure coming, making you unable to move 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 is different. The moment he appears, a certain 'existence' above will awaken, and then he will die instantly...

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

Muyou 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 it was not so much that this Gu pond was to protect 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 Magan man left and returned, reappearing on the high platform.

"President, what are your orders?"

After a few seconds of silence in the darkness, another person's 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 is nothing." The Ma Gan man returned to the high platform to report.

"Is it an illusion..."

Another voice said to himself, and after a while he added: "I have been careful lately not to let any living creatures enter the meeting."

"I understand that the entrance to this place has been well hidden, and I personally guard it. No one can take a step closer to the entrance without my permission," the Magan man said.

"Just being on guard against people is not enough. The Sky City is now docked in the Cook Islands. Those Fools always have some weird abilities. We need to monitor the movements of those Fools more. It is best not to let even a single insect in!

" Another person said.

"Yes."

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

Now it's silent 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, and the exposed part on the other side of the Gu Pond made everything at the bottom of the Pond clear to view.

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 metal foot that was smaller than gravel and looked 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 Magan man was gone and coming back, he returned to the sewage pipe in advance.

As for the golden silkworm chrysalis, he did not 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 characters climb out of the pipe, it's already dark in reality.

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

The overnight meeting between the exchange group and the defense society 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.<

/p>

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 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, the focus of our search in the next few days will be 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 is not optimistic about the investigation plan that was discussed during the meeting. After all, this kind of investigation takes too long, and the boss behind the scenes will escape in two days, so there will 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 few meters away from this area.

It’s about a kilometer away.

It’s no wonder that the person behind the scenes did not hesitate to arrange for his subordinates to self-destruct, but 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 plan to announce 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, this space crack can basically only be found by Mu You himself.

There’s no rush, there are too many people during the day, so Mu You plans to wait until nightfall before going over to check.

After checking in in the group, Muyou returned to the game.

[You appear in front of the Black River outside the West District. There is no one around, and 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 the front of 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.]
To be continued...
