【You are resurrected in the watchman's cabin.】

As luck would have it, the administrator in green seemed to be carrying an old shadow ghost with him. He was very weak, far inferior to the Yubaba we met before, and he killed him with a cannon shot.

After coming back to his senses, Mu You first checked the loot dropped from the kill.

The dropped items just now, in addition to the clues in the music box, also contained an additional item exploded by the Shadow Ghost.

[Shadow Ghost's Remains: The remains left behind after the Shadow Ghost's death. It looks like a wriggling shadow. Depending on the Shadow Ghost's strength, the fusion can slightly increase the strength of your shadow, thereby indirectly increasing your body's abilities.

After fusion, your health will be permanently 56 points (the upper limit for similar effects is increased by 5,000 points), allowing you to gain the ability to control the shape and direction of your shadow, and allowing your shadow to move out of the body for a short period of time, with a maximum of one hour out of body every 24 hours.

If the shadow does not return to the creature for more than an hour, it will disappear permanently.]

The description of the shadow ghost remnant was very fancy, so Mu You tried to click it and take a look.

A wriggling shadow appeared on the ground. It looked like a slime, but it was illusory, had no entity, and had no weight.

Mu You tried to walk under the shadow. The thing actively blended into his shadow and disappeared, while his shadow seemed to become more solid.

Mu You looked at his phone again, and sure enough, it showed that his health had increased by 56 points.

"Is the 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 shape to an ellipse, and then to a thin line according to his will, and could rotate around his body at will.

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

After a simple attempt, Mu You has initially understood the changes in his shadow. Simply put, as long as he concentrates, he can make his shadow into a controllable state.

When the shadow is out of the body, it is equivalent to a clone. He can share the shadow's perspective, and can use the shadow's lack of collision volume to penetrate into places that humans cannot reach to conduct reconnaissance and other tasks.

Unfortunately, it can only be separated from the body for a maximum of one hour, and they have learned from the previous capture of Uchimura that the shadow of the separated body can be injured normally, which greatly limits the use of this ability.

Of course, the original text in the description is that 'the shadow will not disappear until it has not returned to the living creature for more than an hour.' In other words, after the shadow leaves the body, it does not necessarily have to return to the main body, as long as it becomes the shadow of another living creature.

.

This is also the principle why those shadow people can cast shadows on the earth: make humans into 'shadow ghost skins', and as long as these shadows are transformed into the corresponding 'skin' shape, a real human being can be generated on the shadow, disguised as

This human shadow allows these shadows to leave 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. He must return to his body as soon as possible. This ability is better than nothing for him.

What is really useful about this thing is that it increases his health. Even though it is only 56 points, the upper limit is shown later. By killing the shadow ghost, you can increase his upper limit of life by up to 5,000 points. This value is very impressive!

But having said that, he had also killed two shadow ghosts on Earth before, the giant shadow ghost and the muscular shadow ghost in K city, including Uchimura who he captured after coming to Japan. None of these shadow ghosts were left behind after their death.

This kind of shadow remains.

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

From this point of view, this thing should only be dropped by killing shadow ghosts in the star spirit world.

After seeing the changes in the shadow, Muyou looked back at his phone and continued to take stock of his gains.

[You opened the ‘clue hidden in the music box’, which was a neatly folded piece of paper.]

【Fragments of Louise's diary.】

[...It has been three years since I was captured here. A few days ago, I was told by the administrator that my 'condition' had worsened and that I needed to leave here and move to a hospital in the West District to receive deeper 'treatment'.

Leaving Mianmian is a huge bad news for me. She is my spiritual support here. Without her, I don’t know how to live here in the future... Mianmian comforted me and promised to wait for her in the future.

We cured the disease and left here. As long as I need her, I will call her loudly, and she will definitely come to see me no matter how far away...

Two days later, I was taken to a newly built hospital in the West District. The brand new room was much larger than before, but it was turned into a double dormitory. The person who was imprisoned with me was a baby even smaller than me.

The girl is only seven years old and her name is Sayaka. She seems to have just come here. She has been cowering in the corner and shivering in fear all day long, like a pitiful little rabbit. What’s even more troublesome is that the words she speaks are not in the language of the stars, but in the language of the stars.

It's a language we've never heard of before, and we couldn't communicate... Fortunately, the administrator later sent us a tool that allows people to communicate directly, and the language barrier was lifted... After communicating with Sayaka, we found that we were in

Many hobbies seemed to match up unexpectedly... After a few days of brief contact, Sayaka became very attached to me and admired me very much. I somewhat enjoyed this feeling and treated her as my own sister... Now I have lost her

Mianmian, but I have a new goal, which is to protect Sayaka from surviving here...

——6/8】

The diary on page six, this diary spans a long time. It goes directly to three years later. Louise changed her residence and separated from Mianmian, but at the same time she welcomed a new roommate, who was the same as before.

The new character 'Sayaka' is mentioned in the seven-page diary.

The diary specifically mentioned that Sayaka spoke not the Star Spirit language, but another language, which made Mu You even more convinced that Sayaka might be an Earthling who was kidnapped to the Star Spirit world through a space rift.

.

Louise entered the underground factory four years ago, and what is recorded in the diary is three years later, which is what happened one year ago.

Mu You opened the exchange group's group, called up the missing persons database shared by Japan, and searched 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 conditions again, 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 the right match.

Is it wrong to guess that she is not Japanese? Or is Sayaka not actually her real name?

Mu You couldn't be sure for a while.

No matter what, with the discovery of the sixth page of the diary, he has now found the first seven pages of all eight pages of the diary, and it has finally been connected into a complete story, telling the story of Louise's three days after entering the factory.

What happened during the years, through her perspective, revealed the darkness in the Society of the Dead. Seeing the big from the small, she can also think of what other children who were captured experienced in the Society of the Dead.

The eighth page that is still missing at the end 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.

In the next day, the two-point and one-line life of the academy and the dungeon resumed in the Muyou game.

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

Yes, the boss on the third floor has been killed by a certain wasteland development team in advance. Mu You is not too surprised about this. After all, he has focused most of his energy on the Undead these days and has not paid much attention to the dungeon.

It’s normal to get ahead of the game once.

After a few days of adaptation, the land reclamation team system organized by the major forces has now basically matured, and everyone has gained experience. As they advance to the lower levels, the difficulty increases, and the progress tends to gradually accelerate.

If we advance at this rate, we will probably break through the dungeon within a week.

Muyou is very satisfied with this speed, so the dungeon does not make any unnecessary measures, and all members can perform freely.

In addition, around 7 p.m. that day, a prompt popped up in the game for everyone.

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

Another sky city is activated. The city owner’s ID is a name that is unfamiliar to many people. More importantly, this is another person from the Celestial Dynasty!

The international forum was in an uproar again, and the number of fair fighters who emerged increased sharply. Before, half of the eight cities settled in the Chinese Empire, which was already too much. However, now the ninth city is the Chinese Empire, and the ratio of five-nineths has directly crossed the half line.

It also made people from other countries completely unable to sit still.

The issue of whether Sky City should accept players from all over the world on average has been debated again, and the trend is getting more and more intense, so that not many people care about who the new city owner "Holy Light Nana" is.
p>

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

Libra and Capricorn had already said at the early morning meeting that they were preparing for the battle for Twilight City, and had made arrangements with others for remote support. Now that they successfully won the city lord, everyone was not surprised and left messages of congratulations.

.

In this way, their Secret Art Association finally has a second sky city that belongs entirely to them.

About an hour later, Muyou received private messages from Libra and Capricorn, asking him for his experience in building Sky City.

Mu You did not hide his secrets and directly passed on the construction sequence document that Jiuyou gave them before. At the same time, he briefly told them about some of the pitfalls he had encountered and the savings he had made during the construction of Dawn City.

experience.

By the time we finished dealing with the Twilight City matters, it was already night in Japan, and it was completely dark outside.

Mu You put on the skin of a herb collector that was not commonly used and went out in Yuebeifeng High School.

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 small 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.

"Excuse me...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 come back from get off work.

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

As soon as Mu You opened his mouth, 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 on 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."
